I did do some search on this site, but could not pinpoint the solution to this problem. Two days ago I was messing with a pocket GPS navigator designed for IPAQ 3800/3900, and plugged it into my XDA. Even though it fit nicely, it did not work so I unplugged it. Since then I have not been able to charge my XDA. However, I am able to synchronize sucessfully using both the cradle and USB respectively. Also everything else seems to work fine.
* I have done several soft resets which did not fix it
* I have also performed a hard reset and the problem still persists
Right now I only have about 40% power left and it is depleting rapidly. I really need help and appreciate all I can get.
Thanks.
You have probably damaged the charging circuit by using the ipaq connecter.

My XDA is not charging.
In fact, when I plug the
external power unit, or in the cradle the battery doesn't charge and the software doesn't detect anything and no orange light on the top.....
The charger has been tested and it's OK....
I tried soft reset...
What do you think about it?
Let me know...

I had this problem yesterday!
When I attached my GPS it was working correctly only it didn't charge.
When I put it in my cradle it was syncing with my PC correctly, but it didn't charge either. Even when I placed my charger direct on my XDA it still wouldn't charge.
I did a soft reset and still had no luck just like you. So then I made a backup to my SD card, did a hard reset and voila! My XDA is charging! So I put back my backup and my XDA was where it was 15 minutes ago, except that it is charging now correctly! :lol:
I hope this solves your problem! Good luck.
re:
yes...
After posting also I tried with a hard reset....and all is now ok...
is it an overcharging...?
A software bug...?
What do you think?
Can it happen again?
Thank you for posting...

This happened to my XDA too, but i've done a hard reset and it still wont work Anyone have any ideas? I did that same thing as others have done, i plugged it into my mates in-car ipaq charger bcos they have the same connector. My XDA is on critical battery, cant do much with it
FYI, I've had the opposite problem today... Phone always thought that it was charging. Even when disconnected from cradle / charger, the charge indicator light (both LEDs solid) would stay lit and Settings->System->Power indicated "Charging". After a while it became clear that it wasn't really charging itself byt drawing energy out of the air. Soft resets did not help. I backed up to SD, did a hard reset, and everything's fine now. I guess the charging system doesn't get "reset" when a soft reset happens, and so if something goes wrong there a hard reset is required.
HELLO EVERYBODY!
I'VE GOT STRANGE PROBLEM WITH MY T-MOBILE. RECENTLY I DISCHARGED MY BATTERY TOTALLY AND WHEN I GOT MY RECHARGER BACK IT OCCURED IT DIDN'T WANT TO CHARGE IT BACK USING ADAPTER. I THOUGHT IT HAD KILLED MY BATTERY BUT I FOUND OUT THAT IT STARTED TO RECHARGE WHEN I PLACED IT IN THE CRADLE USING THE SAME RECHARGER. IT MANAGED TO RECHARGE THE DEVICE BUT NOW IT WORKS ONLY WHEN IT IS PLACED IN THE CRADLE ALSO WITHOUT POWER SUPPLY PLUGGED IN. I TESTED IT OVER NIGHT AND THE BATTERY SEEMS TO WORK PROPERLY. I DON'T HAVE CRADLE MOD AND I EVEN DISCOONECTED IT FROM MY COMP. EVERYTHING WORKS FINE UNTIL I TAKE OFF THE CRADLE. IT WORKS LIKE 2 MIN AND THEN TURNS OFF AND IT RESETS BUT IT WON'T START. I HAVE UPGRADED PPC2003 RECENTLY BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE PROBLEM.
IF ANYONE COULD HELP I WOULD APPRECIATE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY PIECES OF ADVICE.
Crandle
Hi I have still the same problem asyours.I took it to the distirbutor and check it out.They said not for sure that maybe is crandle problematic.And not for sure cause they haven't ever seen this device.Well I'm expectin a car charger in a few days;will test it and let you know.
Well, went to a PDA shop this morning and got a feedback that there are few cases of hard reset problems.
I know i have them.....
1 tip... don't charge you XDAII overnight.
I really dunno the theory behind it but just
Try it and feedback :wink:
I don't agree. Since I bought my xda2 in Nov till now, it's on charger every night w/o fail.
I also disagree, i recharge over night, from 9 PM to 6 AM. never reset
Take off wisbar or any other application that tends to hang, and keep your startup to a minimum to avoid hard resets.
i also charge overnight not had one hard reset yet
Err...i actually meant this topic for those with those are facing hard reset problem every now and then....
If you dun face them then cheers...but if you do face this problem.....no harm trying.
My XDAII hard reset itself twice in three days. Day 1 it was fully loaded with softwares, but it suddenly hard reset at abt 5:30pm, I didn't load any software after that (all factory default) and it did the same thing on the third day at abt the same time.
I know its hard to think abt anything relevent regarding this tip...well, those with hard resets problem should try it out. If it doesn't work out, well, what can i say and what you gotta loose? :lol:
Hi azbro, I'm with you on this one, if you are unlucky to experience frequent hard resets, it is worth checking out all options, to try and get to the root cause, there are so many different supposed reasons, battery, radio, software conflicts and so on, maybe these devices are not all the same, and the cause for hard reset could be different for each of us.
Hard Resets
I believe unwanted hard resets have a lot to do with the battery.
AFAIK softwares do also contribute sometimes but mainly due to overloading of memory causing leaks thus unrecoverable by operating systems.
Back to the battery.
Based on lots of owners complaints the Xda I/II battery has a nack of self-draining its own power. Suspect the contacts of the charger seems to cross when not inserted straight-down properly. Sometimes the battery doesn't get charged at all.

Battery charging...
Hi!
Here is my piece of experience.
I had hard-reset problem when I was using standard Power plug & AC Adapter. But when I migrated to charge my device via USB & Cradle, the problem disappeared!
Maybe it happened because of our high voltage lines (220V). And one more, every time I was taking off my device from the charger I got static electrical shock
BTW, who is still experience this issue try my Restorator utility to save your time on restoring your soft & everything on each unexpected hard-reset! It's FREE!
Cheers
Can I have a link to your restorer utility?

Battery Drain Induced Hard Reset?
Don't think I can simulate it again as I myself dunno what caused it.
Routine sync and charge via cradle today I happened to notice the battery power was depleting slowly.
Waited for awhile to monitor and the battery power indicator still was not turning. Today battery plugins all indicate charging but power keeps on draining.
Switched view to Start-Settings-System-Power in the Control Panel displays same result.
Removed unit from cradle and recharge now the power turned.
What was that all about?!
:roll:

Here are my tips:
If your problem with charging via cradle occurred more than once, then there is a cradle or battery problem.
Try to disconnect your power cord from cradle and use only USB connection when charging
Also, try to play with your battery. Fully discharge it & leave it for at least 3 hours, then charge it via cradle auxiliary charging slot
Finally, borrow one battery from your friend and check your system stability with the new one
Has anyone had this problem?
After three trouble free months, my phone has developed a a very strange problem.
After charging, it behaves as if I'm constantly connecting and disconnecting the phone to a PC. It bleeps whilst showing the battery being connected to a charger and then imidiatly acts like its been disconnected by bleeping and running media scanner on both SD cards. It also shows that its connected via Kies, even though all this is happening whilst only being connected to a charger!
I've already done a full reset, which helped for a few days before it came back. It normally sorts itself out after a few minutes but the period before it "calms down" is getting longer. This morning I removed the battery for an hour but it continued in its "loop". Another, possibly related symptom is that as soon as the battery is installed, the phone boots up without being switched on. The same thing happens if I shut the phone down, it just powers up again!
Any thoughts?
had you if ever dip the bottom part of your phone? sounds like short-circuit issue or I maybe wrong.. try bringing in on to the nearest service center for warranty
Sounds a plausible theory but as far as I can tell, it hasn't got wet. Its been doing it for a few day now, so I think if it was damp, it would have dried out by now.
Thanks anyway.
I got the same problem. Let me know if you figure it out.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
my friend had a simmilar issue and it was damage to the usb port , it kept thinking it was connecting to the pc or charger , it also wouldnt charge when plugged into a wall point and went into usb mode and vice versa when he put it into a pc
he sent it back for repair and they sent him a new phone
it may not be what you have but it does sound simmilar
i would try a few things like a reset , format the mass memory , install firmware again , dont restore back ups but set phone up fresh like you would do if you just bought it , then see how it goes , it could just be a corrupted file or system error that could be fixed bya full wipe and fresh install or it could be like my friends and the usb could be on the way out
on the topic of usb ports i do think they could have been better designed and iam hoping mine doesnt break as its needed for hdmi out , charging , docks , etc etc
Thanks Buxz,
As a follow up, I put the battery back in after taking it our for about 3hrs and all seams fine. I know that it isn't a permanent fix but I think it points more to software than hardware, which in a way is more annoying as its all about trial and error, as you described. A mechanical fault is more straight forward.
I just dread having to charge it again!
Regards, Woolly.
UPDATE
Charged it overnight and no problems when disconnecting it this morning. So far!
If anything, the battery life it better than before the problems. The fact that removing the battery for 3hrs broke the cycle of connect/disconnect, makes me think its soft/firmware related.
Woolly.
Hello all,
Recently I got a problem with my phone. A couple of weeks ago it started displaying charging slowly when connecting it to the power supply. In these cases charging takes hours to charge the phone completely, approximately 5 hours. Few times it says charging fast, and then it charges in about 2 hours. At the beginning I got the impression that it has something to do with the angle I plug in the cable, but it's mainly random.
Now I'm a bit afraid the phone is broken. I've already tested different power supplies, even the original one but it didn't change a thing.
I also tried using cm13 and the current oxygen, no difference in behavior. I even installed a different kernel, without success.
Do you have any idea what's causing the problem or if there's anything I could try?
Thank you!
@StarFishes82 maybe there's some lint or crud stuck up in the port. Use a toothpick and gently sweep inside.

I have experienced that different cables have different charging rate. I only can recommend to use the original cable or some better quality one which can handle 2A, but I assume you are using the original.
I can feel that since I am experiencing same problem. My phone is not detected on computers too. It isn't detecting on my Mac. tried on Windows machine too and unrecognised/Corrupted device connected message popped up. For now, I have flashed Boeffla Kernel (OxygenOS 2.2.0-X) and using its app(Boeffla-Config V2) to increase charge rate(Not recommended, phone heats a lot if you charge and use phone same time). My phone is charging in expected time but this is not permanent solution for this problem. I am taking my device to service center this weekend and recommending you same. Hope they cover this issue in warranty.
Just wanted to give some feedback.
I tried everything mentioned above, without solving the issue. The physical port is clean, I tried different cables, finally I contacted the support. I have to send them the phone and they are gonna repair it. So bad luck because I have to find a temp phone...
Hello Dear,
I have encountered the same problem as you today, but my phone is Sony Xperia Z2
Same problem exactly.
Charging Slowly (5 hours until full)!
What to do? Is there any fast workaround? I'm afraid the warranty is gone, can I fix it in any store?
