Hi,
I have recently purchased a USB Sync charger for my XDA IIs. After connecting it to my PC's USB port and the IIs I realised that it the phone was actually NOT charging although the display showed "Charging". In fact, the battery was discharging.
A quick search on the web revealed that this was a problem present in the XDa II (but later fixed by an update).
Could anyone confirm whether this problem is present in the XDa IIs as well ?
Also, is there any solution available ? Thanks

I have the same problem I have two usb charger/sync cables and an adapter for the Car so you can charge from the car no combination of any of these works with my MDA III.
Yet the MDA does show charging but as you say is discharging WHAT A PAIN a solution would be great but as for the USB port on your PC and or Laptop it is likely to be the fact that there isnt sufficent current on the port.
Has anyone tried one of the following charge/snnch cables on the Blue Angel?

Judging by the image, the usb sync charger on that page is similar to the one I have and mine isn't working.
FYI, If charging from a laptop, some laptops won't charge anything over USB unless they're on mains power themselves.
Did everyone try similar tests with Desktops?

Just tried it and still says charging but isn't !!!!
Are there any USB cables that just charge the Blue Angel and actually charge it up! Could synch via infra red. Just wanted a USB change cable to keep in the laptop bag.

Just disable USB sync in ActiveSync (File/Connection Settings) on the PC; it'll still charge.
Yes but do these usb cables really charge and does anyone know where I can get a working one in the UK?
Martin Fields USB Sync charger works !
I exchanged the non-functional usb charger with one branded "Martin Fields USB Sync Charger for XDA II" and it finally works.
Hi,
My Veripart USB Hotsync Charger Cable O2 Xda II/Qtek work fine on my Qtek9090 (sync and charge).
I bought it here: www.pdashop.nl.
Succes,

Make sure you have the DC charger plugged in, not a USB charger

I think sleeco meant AC charger, but the point is valid. You must make sure that it is providing the correct amount of mah to the MHL adapter. If you are not using the AC charger that came with your phone, you should try that.
i use the ac charge that came with my phone.. how can i know what is th mah that is need ?
check that i made:
when the mhl andapter connect (with ac charge) and the HDMI cable is unplug the wifi is still connec... and dont fall
when i connect the HDMI cable again the wifi goes down
can it be the HDMI cable ?

Could be. There are different HDMI revisions. I'd try to get a newer cable. Or at least try a DIFFERENT HDMI cable. Maybe the one you're trying to use is causing some kind of short - who knows? Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to check the cable version. All I can say is mine works just fine, and WiFi stays connected.
ok.. i will try
i bought the adapter and the cable from ebay... if it make difference...

You can get almost any version of anything off of ebay. So not really a difference. The real question that will make a difference: is your MHL adapter the original Samsung adapter? Some knock-off, or third party version? An MHL adapter someone in China made? What about the HDMI cable? Some third party MHL adapters will work ok (I've tried one that worked just fine, but I didn't like it), and I've heard of others that do weird things. Yours could be one.
ok, i will try others MHL and HDMI...thanks
Hi guys,
I've just received a - what looks pretty brand-new - S2 here naked and without its back cover. It's branded.
I also own a rooted i9001 (S plus) with themes and stuff. Still works like a charm.
So the S2.... I am pretty sure I can use same usb cable from the S plus and also the charger (Samsung Travel adapter 5.0V=0,7A) that both are working fine with the S plus.
However, usb with the S2 PC isn't recognizing phone, no matter what I tried. Only connection possible is via Kies (only wifi) and not explorer
The charger isn't recognized by phone either. I'm not sure if the USB port is dead because JIG tool is working. The battery I have is some Chinese one with own charger. The I read the S2 needs more power.
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks.

What do you mean? The phone charges but with charge rates limited by PC USB port instead of AC wall plug? Or doesn't it charge at all with the charger?
Or: how do you mange to charge the phone?

Hi, thanks for looking into my prob.
No, it doesn't charge when connected to PC via USB. The charger doesn't work with phone directly, no.
I bought the replacement battery off ebay and with it came a battery charger (wall plug). So battery can be charged aside from phone.
Unfortunately, I don't have any friends with original S2 accessories to test.
But why does the Jig work (if the USB port were broke)?

The Jig does not use all pins of the USB connector. Basically the Jig is a 300k resistor connected to the GND (5) and ID(4) pin of the USB connector. The pins used for charging are GND(5) and VCC(1). A bold guess would be that the VCC pin of your phones USB connector does not work.
You should consider buying a replacement flex board on ebay. It is very cheap ($10 to $16 I believe) and you should manage to install it yourself.

There could be Two Reasons Your Device's Micro USB Port is Broken Something.

Just to let you know. I got new usb board, exchanged old one (that was clearly water damaged) and the phone now works like a charm.
OT: I've also noticed this trend on Ebay for people to buy non-functioning or damaged S2s. From the guides on youtube I can see exactly why.
However, it's getting pretty ridiculous now that non-functioning S2s with broken screens fetch as much as € 200??!!! I mean, come on!

Hey all, I tried searching for this "usb cable", "can't charge", "unable to charge device", but did not seem to come across anything. Either that or I'm blind...
Well anyway, I left my charger/cable that came with the HTC One (T-mobile version) at the SO's place, so I thought I'd try a usb cable I have at work plugged into the laptop. My phone comes up with a notification saying "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger".
I came across this the first day as well, when I used the HTC adapter and my cable from work. Since then I've only found that the HTC adapter + usb cable that came in the box will work. I haven't tried bundled usb cable with the laptop. Is this for real? Does anybody know what kind of charger/usb cable I should be looking for in case I wanted to get a spare or have an extra set to use?
tl;dr
HTC One adapter + bundled USB cable = will charge fine
HTC One adapter + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Laptop + random usb cable from work = "Unable to charge device. Please use the supported charger."
Nobody else is experiencing this? I have 4 usb cables here at work and none of them work. Thought they would've been all standard USB cables. Perhaps not eh?
btw these cables I have from work have worked on the Nexus4 previously.
There was a brief discussion about this in a different section. It may pertain to your issue. It is on page 174 (on the xda dev app. I don't know if the pages are different if on the PC)

Thanks for the info...it was on page 174 on the PC too. It seems to be a different issue though, with an adapter that has less than 1A input. My problem seems to come from the USB cable I'm using, since the HTC adapter + my usb cable doesn't work, but HTC adapter + HTC usb cable does..
I borrowed a different usb cable from my coworker and it seems to work in the laptop for some reason. He mentioned that he's heard similar stories like this before which involved different wiring of the power/data lines in the cable or something....in any case I just found it really odd that it turned out like this. As far as I know there's no indication of different types of USB cables...so how the heck would I know which cable to get if I needed a spare!
Not all usb cables are creAted equal..
Perfect example would be a usb cable from an LG G2X
On samsung galaxy s2. Turn the phone off and plug into normal cable.. turn it on.. it charges
Turn the phone off.. plug it into G2X cable.. turn it on.. it puts the phone in download mode.

Just a FYI, the page numbers may be different; one can setup the number of posts in a page in the user control panel. I think mine is set to 50, so I think that might be on page 6 for me if I'm using my PC. It's generally better to link just that individual post to be sure people see it.

For anyone interested, I think this is the first post I saw that was related to it (didn't look too far back to see the post s/he was replying to):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41239399&postcount=1732
There are a few posts afterwards, but in the end I think it was more of an adapter related issue rather than a usb cable issue.
Also, I managed to find another USB cable at home that I hadn't tried yet (it was a cable that came with a portable HDD), and lo and behold it worked when I plugged into my pc. So I guess it's just the usb cables I have at work that for some reason don't want to play nice with my phone. blah.
Hello,
My SGS3 was working fine for all these days, but from last week my phone is not getting charger via power adapter but when i connect my S3 to USB its starts charging.
Its strange, when my S3 is connected to power adapter it shows that is charging but literally its not eventhough i left my S3 on power adapter for an hour its on same point(%) when plugged in.
I dont see this issue when connected to my laptop via USB cable.
do anyone face this kind of issue? or what could be wrong?

Hey guys,
Just got the 5.1.1 update to my g watch and i noticed some charging differences, namely i can no longer charge my watch with my pc (its an always on pc). I checked cables etc and all are fine, and it will still charge through an AC outlet. Ive tried usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports.
Just wondered if anyone else had noticed this behaviour? The charging indicator wont even show up when its plugged into my pc. Also noting that usb debugging still works through my pc and all is detected fine there

I have the same update, and have the same problem as you, I only noticed it last night when I put it on to charge, I charge mine every night on the same usb port and have had no problems till last night, like yours mine will only charge from mains now, I've tested all my usb ports and they are all working okay. I hope some one has an answer for it.
I´ve checked this and mine works perfectly with a 5m cable connected to a usb hub. I´ve checked with other cables and without hub, and this still works.
I was able to address the issue by rebooting the watch.

If i reboot the watch whilst it is on the charger, it charges via usb in my pc - but if i take it off and put it back on, the problem returns, despite it still working with an AC charger, i'm assuming this is a software problem as android knows when its charging via usb or AC anyway. Hopefully a dev over here or the LG guys will fix it - i don't want to have to restart my watch every time i want to charge it, it's a pain in the arse and i shouldn't have to do it - i have a lack of AC ports in my room, hence i charge through my pc

All my cables seem to produce the same result, maybe it's just me - i tried the one that came with a quick charge charger and even that does the same thing. hmm, will pick up a new cable tomorrow and check it out!
I just had my watch on the charger and with out taking it off, restarted it and now it is charging. Definitely a bug of some sort

I wouldn't bother. Some chargers just behave like USB devices to be able to charge older Blackberrys. I used the same cable with the PC and with a wall wart. Only the wall wart works unless I reboot the watch.
Thanks, most people seem to confirm its a bug.. That's what I love about xda, you can always find things like this. Thanks for all your help.
Hi, glad I found this thread.
I am having the same problem. It doesn't charge since the 5.1.1 update, but if it lays on the charger and I reboot it, it charges. If I take it off and put it back on, it doesn't charge and I need to reboot it again.
Have the same problem. After reboot, it charges on usb much slower but doesn't look like it (No charging icon). Otherwise I love the update.
Did you all factory reset after updating your watch? I also couldn't charge until I rebooted but it charges fine after the reboot.
Same issue
I can confirm the same behaviour. I have to reboot the g watch and then it start charging. Definitely a bug
Same here, watch was charging wen I went to sleep but charging stopped at around 60%

I've expressed my frustration over at the Android Wear help forum:
https://productforums.google.com/fo.../VRbw2FWOaiI;context-place=forum/android-wear
Oddly, my watch did NOT include the wall charger even though I got it new from Best Buy. Did anyone else not get a wall charger? I'm not the type to just blindly miss something as useful as a USB wall charger. I remember opening it up and saying to myself, "I guess I'll have to use my monitors USB port." I don't throw that stuff out. I still have the box and all the packing materials as well, and it's nowhere in there.
