Hi,
I have an O2 XDA 1. This morning I noticed the battery was empty so I tried plugging it in to charge. The orange light does not come on and the battery does not charge no matter how long I leave it on. I have tried it both in the cradle and with an adaptor but still nothing happens. I even changed the internal battery but it is still the same.
Any ideas as to what i can do?
Dale.
i have the same problem. can anyone help me with this problem.
thanks b4.

Charge problems
Hi! i don't know will it halp you or knop. I am not a profi with pda...

I used car charger. next day battery was almost dead. u put usual charger. not results. u put it through cradle, the same not result.I scared. then i tryed to put car charger,then wall charger,then car charger and wall charger again and it started !!!
i guess the problem is in pda power logic <program didn't switch different power from charger and stop receive a charger in general >
may be u have this problems bc in the wall power were shortly powered down <may be shortly it jump from 220 to 200 voltage>
u can also try to put it to 220 and 120 voltage wall power.
sorry if my english is awful. hope it will help u
Hello Guys..
I've same problem with you guys..
The last day i charge my Wallaby was 2 days ago, and this morning i try to re-charge it with USB but cannot recharge, i try the cradle but it doesn't recharge too.
I think the battery was good because my O2 was powered on and running normal, just cannot re-charge.
I try to remember what i have done before... then.. i remember..
Before i try to recharge, my friend was try to connect his Universal USB Cable for his HP IPAQ (I forget the series) to my Wallaby and his PC detect and try to Synch my Wallaby but the charging indicator doesn't lite.
I Think, Maybe.. something wrong with the electricity, amphere, voltage, or whatever that comes out from his Universal USB Cable.
I have been hard reset and go to boot loader to see the Battery test, but doesn;t help..
Any body can help us??

That´s the problem. Ipaq has other Pin layout, so you have damaged something in your device. I´m giessing, that the fuse is blowen away...
Stefan
Oh my..
My Wallaby was physically broken because the shortcircuit, right?
I affraid the money i must to spend to repair will be the same like i buy it (second hand)..
Nothing i can do but go to repair shop, right?
You can try fixing it yourself. You can check if the fuse is not working any more and you can replace it, if you´re kind in soldering....
Stefan
Hello LumpiStefan,
It was a long time no see.
Still use the wallaby with ROM cooked by your ROM Cooker until now.
I just wan to give my credit to you LumpiStefan.
Cheers.
same problem here....
Wallaby charging problem
Hi guys,
I have a charging problem too. I have a wallaby. when i put it onto cradle led turns to amber and then immediately to green. Settings > Power section says the battery full of 100%. But when put off it from cradle, 1 minute later, it goes off. I changed the battery with a new one. still same problem. I also checked two fuses located on both side of the main board. They are OK. No fuses blowned.
So, don't know what to do. it actually works very well but charging problem. I don't want to throw it away. any other external charging device is OK for me.
I need your helps. Thanks.

Hello all. This is my first post.
I've used my Wallaby for many years. Yesterday it doesn't start anymore and if I put it into the cradle no light is displayed.
Last change I did was to replace my GSM SIM card with a UMTS one; since that moment it doesn't work anymore.
You were talking about fuses... Where are they located exactly ? What kind of fuse are they ? How can I check if they're blowned ?
Moreover.. I've a backup of my Wallaby... eventually is there any emulator where I can resume/restore all my contacts ?
Thanks,
Marco
Looking for replacement Wallaby
If anybody is interested, I have a few Wallabys for sale.
May be cheaper than trying to replace broken screens or paying for repairs.

I went away for xmass, and the last thing I did before leaving (this is stupid i know) was to upgrade my XDAII to 2003SE 2.02 rom.
I brought only my USB charge cable because i didnt want to carry too much.
Now, when I plugged it in to charge on my PC it said charging and the light came on as usual. However, it seems it wasnt charging. I left it overnight expecting to have a charged unit, only to find it completely dead the next day.
Now, when I plug it in, the charge light comes on RED for about 2 minutes, then the unit comes on from a hard reset and shows both charge levels at ZERO.
It stays on for about 10 minutes pretending to charge, but only the backup battery charges, the main one doesnt charge at all. Then it goes off totally and the light goes red again.
If I turn the unit off while it goes red straigh away and wont come back on.
After a few minutes it comes back on and pretends to charge again. The Backup battery reached "100 %" but the main battery will not charge. its still at 0% and wont charge.
Ive connected it to a 5v2amp psu as it requires but this was via a powered usb charger so using the same lead, not the official cradle.
Im worried there is something wrong but dont have access to the cradle.
Has anyone else ever had experiance of a total discharge state on an XDAII ?
UPDATE
I travelled 50 miles today to get to the nearest charge cradle for an XDA2, put my battery in and it charged fine. I put it back in the XDA and it worked. However, when I got home I plugged it into the USB charge lead, and it came on and said charging again, with the yellow light and all seemed well. I left if for a bit and the battery was then dead again with no charge and back to showing the red light. it wont come on at all now.
This is the same lead i used previously and the only change is the 2003SE rom, has anyone else had a problem charging after doing this rom upgrade? Can I revert back to 172 ? how? help please.
Please help. IM screwed unless I can find a solution, has anyone got any idea?
Dude, I have the same problem on my 1.72 version. I have (of course) dropped by xda2 several times on the floor, but it works charging from the cradle (which again has a adapter connected to it) but not from my brand new USB sync+Charge cable. I have also tried another cable and even on a different PC. Only thing that happens, is that it says it is charging, but nooooo... it's all flat after a little while. It's as if the cable uses my XDA power to change the PC instead of the other way around
It's funny. So now I have to drag that big-ass charger along with me to work every day instead of that neat little USB cable.
Life is unfair!
As for your problems, I can only say that you're not alone.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I havent ever dropped mine, ive taken good care of it, so I dont think that is the cause. It does sound like the same issue however, I dont have my cradle here to test it though, just a usb sync+charge cable.
Does it work with the charge adaptor and psu alone? I mean the little thing that goes on the end of the mains psu to connect directly to the XDA without the cradle. How about on the cradle without the PSU plugged in?
I think this may be a hardware fault that needs repair, so its off back to o2 for mine if it is, you may find they would repair yours too.
Anyone else got an idea?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4330
With my charger alone, it charges perfectly. In the Cradle with the charger connected, it works too. I havn't tried to use the cradle alone using only the USB cable to the PC.
I think I might bring it to the repair-dudes when it's so trashed that it is not working at all Until then, i will keep on using it.
I have exactly the same problem. i am not sure if it was because of the upgrade, but this is what happened to me, I upgraded to 1.72wwe from the factory 1.66wwe and it was working fine when I noticed that sometimes when it was charging after pulling out the plug, the unit will display 0% charge from the external battery and then after plugging it again the power is at 100%, It happened twice and was ok again, I presumed it was just a glitch from the system and promptly dismissed it as such. After a week, it was hardresetting everytime i got it out of the plug. I brought it to the service center and they replaced the battery (it was under warranty) It was working fine then I upgraded to 2003se the unit was ok for about 3 days then i noticed that the unit was loosing charge and hardresetting everytime. I brought it to the service center again and they said they replaced the motherboard this time and was back to 1.66wwe. So far its ok and working fine.
friends,
i have pdaviet 4.0.0.0.3a on my o2 neo n the weird thing is with wm6 it doesnt charge with the same charger i used to use when my o2 was using wm5?! can anyone please explain me this problem? i plug in the charger, the orange led lights up showing that it is charging, even the battery status icon changes to charging mode, but there is no charging happening or well battery status shows that the battery is dieing more than charging.. why? what to do? please please help.. do i need something else or what?
thanks a lott..
1. Did you follow the ROM flashing procedure Step 1 and Step 2 faithfully?
2. Is this charger the original charger came with the phone?
Try that one first and see. You will find not all chargers alike, especially where there are USB 1.0 and 2.0 specifications.
Or, you have taken some shorcuts to install your 4.0.0.0.3.
yesss i have.. not once but several times.. in the attempt to get my charger workingg.. but its not.. i dunno what to do.. pls help..
downgrade to wm5 and test the charger,it is simple
I have the same problem (i use PDAVIET 4.0.0.4)
I has tried with an adaptator and with connection pda->pc, but not work!
have you tried xda-dev batfix
see bottom of post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1166781&postcount=1
seemed to help mine with the charging issue. On the other hand, maybe it wasn't that. Your mileage may vary.
There seems to be a problem with charging in WM6 with others than the original wall-charger.
When i charge at a different PC or generic USB-charger setting the device off (pressing power-button for severeal seconds) will allow charging in off-mode.
my charger used to work with wm5 properly.. with wm6 on my device, i have to rely on my laptop to charge my phone and that can be a pain in the butt sometimes.. one weird thing i noticed is if i want my wall charger to work, i first plug my o2 into laptop for few mins and then plug my wall charger into my o2 n it starts charging.. but what if i go somewhere where i dont have laptop access.. then what?! the wall charger was an idea that did not require me to rely on the laptop but in my case there is no function of wall charger without laptop..
as for the recommendations, i will try xda-battfix thingg.. thank you very very very much for all your support..

I have same problem with the latest PDAVIET 4.0.0.0.5 .... I tried xda-batfix but did not solve the problem.... any solution?
Jarel
i was stuck up like this too and was't able to charge even going back to wm5 nvid rom so i found this solution:
step 1 .) format with wm5 nvid rom on wm5towm6 upgrade page
step 2.) download http://rapidshare.com/files/47536071/PV_4.0.0.0.5b_Cross.zip ,or refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321832 topic > ROM WM6 for Prophet
PDAViet 4.0.0.0.5b Cross (simple upgrade)
step 3.) stick to this rom for sometime like me untill i would find something new else continue experimenting and help me too but i think for now this is perfect for me i dont want cube but i have cross with touch flo and stable battery charging (its enough for me.)
I have the same/similar problem with my charmer with WM6...
For the reason and a kind of solution/workaround see my post here:

I can not believe this topic is up again !!try Crystal or Touch v7 or even transformer 1.1 they don't have any problem with charger! because they use the right drivers.
Hope it helped.

hi all,
i have problems with my ipaq rw 6828.
it only charge when i turned off the device. but when i turned on the device it will stop charging and can't connet to ActiveSync either.
i have done anything (soft reset, hard reset, repair bootloader, change the rom ) but still can't get out from this problem.
can anyone help me please or at least show me the thread similar like this if there's any...
big thanks,
IPAQ dosn't charge
Most probably you have damaged your usb connector. This model dosn't charge without signal. For a permanent comfortable solution, you should get the bottom connector changed from a good repair shop. You can charge for now by connecting charger first, clicking on charging icon on top, then click on usb charging, click slow charge and click ok. then repeat the steps and click on fast charge and click ok. (looks tedious but is quick) . I have been charging my mobile like this for a year now. You know going to service center is a time consuming process. Also I will have to do for a day without my mobile which is nearly impossible. I backup my contacts on memory card for backup purpose and activesync wont work, but thats ok.
Yesterday something strange happenend to my HD2. (Artemis V24)
I forgotten to charge the battery and the battery was toltal empty.
After charging the phone the phone started like a start for the first time.
I had to make all settings again.
During the day I had to reset my phone serveral times, because the phone freezed.
Later that day i flashed the ROM to Artemis V26.1 but the phone kept freezing.
I did a hard reset and now the phon doesn't start any more.
The white screen with HTC with the red numbers are shown and after that my screen becomes black/gray striped.
What is wrong with my phone ? How can i solve this problem.
Hopefully someone can help me !
Thanks in advance !
black/grey stripped?
could you share a picture with us pls?
maybe your hw is damaged...
if so, revert you spl to you stockspl (normally 1.42.00000) and your stock rom..then you can send it to htc or bring it to your shop.

After an empty battery ? Is that possible ?
its just a guess...but what is impossible?
maybe its just a bad fortune

I have two batteries fror my HD2 and have discovered that batteries can do strange things. For example, one of my two batteries WILL NOT charge from a car charger (the charge light goes off, red, green in a continuous cycle and the battery continues to drain). I've tried several different car chargers, same problem. The other battery charges fine from a car charger. Both batteries charge fine from AC and USB.
My point is, maybe it is worth trying another battery before sending for repair. Perhaps the battery has not been able to properly regain charge after going flat. Replacements can be bought cheap on ebay.
Another possibility is to charge via a different method. I had an Asus PDA that wouldn't restart after going flat (just endlessly reset itself). Charging it from a USB cable connected to a computer instead of from the AC charger fixed the problem (must have been slightly different output voltages).
Hello guys!
My TG01 is fully bricked. The lqst thing that I did with the TG01 was to delete 2 SMS and after 30 minutes when I wanted to make a call the phone was completely dead. It does not power on and even when I put the chrarger the orange does not light up. The last time that I flashed my TG01 was in August with ffboy clean 6.5. Ok of course i have played a lot with the linux kernel and i have tested different things. The last thing that i was doing with the linux was the bluetooth driver hence it was like a week that i did not do any hacking so i find it really hard that the phone is bricked by the linux kernel.
I will try the TG downloader with the USB drivers to see if it will come back to life. Either way yesterday I bought an HD2 and I put android inside it is amazing and really even windows mobile works well on HD2.
If the phone is fully bricked i will stop ToshDroid, sorry guys !!!
Cheers,
Endri
PS: I anybody has recovered his phone with the same problem as mine, please give a hint
Hello,
If you haven't got the orange led when is in charged, I think pearhaps the battery is dead ...
Can you test with another (or test the battery)?
For me it's not a software problem .. it's hardware ... So TG downloader can't do anything ...
I hope you can repair it !
I've encountered similar problem before.
When it was on charger after I hold power button, the charger led dissappeared for a moment and nothing happened.
Try charging it for a longer while, but first:
1)remove the battery
2)put it back inside
3)don't press ANYTHING
4)plug the charger again.
Apparently there is a bug which causes big energy drain when the phone is "bricked" so the charging procedure takes a while.
5)after few hours try turning it on again and report in this thread; I think we can figure something out
Also if you have a HD2 charger, try that with your TG01
This happened to me, I had been using my TG01 for nearly a year then I switch my phone off to charge overnight and plug into my TG01 and nothing happens. I turned off and on, removed battery, sim card etc but no good.
I borrowed a HD2 charger from a friend and that works fine and my TG01 charger works with a friends Nokia so I got myself a HD2 charger off EBay and I use this all the time.
So give it a go, one day out of the blue my TG01 refuses to charge and I know the charger works etc but I have to use HD2 charger.

I had exactly same problem!
Nothing worked from the forum, it stayed like a brick whatever I did. However, I did notice faint white light on the screen, but no red/orange light on top, no vibration nothing!
Sent it to Toshiba Workshop - seems they had to load some sort of 'boot loader file' :S Din't give me much details, but I guess if you can grab a 'boot loader' from somewhere, that's all it might need - Just a guess from experience!
hi endrix,
you doing here a really good job, thank you.
"If the phone is fully bricked i will stop ToshDroid, sorry guys !!!"
why stop, make a break and send your tg01 to repair
best regards, miro
Hi Endrix, what's happen with your phone ? Have you solve the problem ?
