It sounds odd that the Prophet won't take the chargers it used to have with WM5 while the hardware remains the identical.
Could it be that WM6 has a higher current requirement so other ordinary mini USB chargers won't work?
I haven't really upgraded mine to WM6 if the charging problem happens so often that I need to soft reset or do other tricks.
Could anyone please advise:
1. The original Dopod/iMate (1000mA) chargers works fine without any trick?
2. Only the generic chargers need a soft reset/other tricks to get it work? If so, what's the voltage & current of the adapter?
3. I know it probably won't work well with car chargers. But anyone tries a 1000mA or even a 2000mA car chargers? I know most in the market are 500/850mA.
Thanks guys for all your inputs.
You cant charge your device with more then ~800mAh. Not the Charging Adapter limit it ... its the Device! The Charging Controller cant charge faster.
The WM6 Charging Problem ... uhm ... i think its a Rom Problem too?? The most WM6 Prophets have Wizard Roms. The Rom have a charging Patch. This Patch must setup the Charging Controller?? I am not realy sure how it works, but you cant charge faster your batterie in the device. If you have the Desk Charger ... they can :->
Is this what you also call a Wallaby?? need assistance. My qtek 1010 is not charging is there any other way I can charge the battery? An Ipaq 12v adapter was put into it by mistake I was told it was dead but I reset a couple of times and now it's working but it doesn't charge.
thanks.........bigdin
Charging Problems
I had the same problem with my old Wallaby (Qtek 1010). I had to hard reset the device and re-setup it to get it to charge again.
Could be that the fuse is blown up.....

dear all, i bought a car to usb adapter recently, hoping to use it to charge my atom exec when driving. but sad to say, it doesnt charge my atom exec at all. but it works with my ipod n other usb devices.
does anyone hv any idea why car to usb adapter cant charge my atom exec?
thks alot in advance!!!
cheers
Hi,
I find that by turning the phone on and then connecting the usb, it works ok. the led should turn red (atom exec) if it is working. If I just plug the phone into the usb car charger it does not work.
cheers, Richard
(i think this thread is in the wrong forum, should be accessories)
I had the same problem with my Atom. I think you need the car charger to output 1A as I have tried a couple with 500ma and it would not charge.
by default, all other USB charger could not charge the O2 because they are NOT designed to charge a WINCE. Have you ecer notice that even you plug in your WINCE devices to a USB cable connected to your PC without installing a correct driver, it won't charge your WINCE?
thks all for e replies...
i had discovered the reason behind why the usb charger is not working for pda phones. its bcos the voltage is too low to charge the pda phones.
now i had bought another usb charger with a higher voltage n it works!!! so for those who want to charge their pda phones using usb charger when driving, pls rem to get RAPID usb charger. only these RAPID usb charger works with pda phones.
enjoy!!!
cheers
1. Turn off your hermes.
2. Plug car charger to hermes.
3. Turn hermes on. Phone is now charging.
This works everytime for me.
Place this on sticky?
My hermes charges off a el-cheapo USB charger I bought for my Orange C500 years ago... without turning on/off
Lucky you. But to many of us, our hermes do not charge but the way I describe, works for me on all those cooked Rom.
Hm. I just plug mine in too, and it has a cooked ROM....
this works for me on AC charger. Also sometimes works after going into and out of standby a few times.
same here. i just plug mine and im good to go..
Ditto. I think you might have a problem with your charger or phone.
hi guys,
don't know if you've seen it or not, but the car charging problems were explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277742
It's to do with the 4th and 5th pins in the plug of the standard car chargers.
Thanks to PhilipZ and tadzio for figuring it out
They've saved me from the annoyance of constantly having to restart the unit while plugged in.
I PLUg it in then do a soft reset and if u use the speaker phone option u have to do it again i used cooked rom also the phone has a fu_ked problem with the car charger
I've yet to find a USB source that DOESN'T charge my 8525...

USB from PC / Laptop (duh)
USB from Playstation 2 and 3
USB from cable box
USB from HP Printer
USB from iPod adapter
USB from Razr charger
USB from blackberry charger
USB from HTC Charger
USB from Razr Car charger
I think the only USB I haven't tried is on my Nintendo Wii.
Hermes charging from car charger
I have a similar problem with my Arkon, powered car cradle, it charges if the screen is blanked off but if I try and watch my satnav it turns the charger off. I'll try turning off the Hermes before connecting the charger and let you know
I have x01ht, i plug charger on 220V AC to charge my Phone. My phone and battery is very hot( about 40 degree). Then i plug charger on 110V AC to charge my Phone and battery isn't hot. Now i understand why my phone is hot when i plug charger on 220V AC
i have this problem with an ebay car charger, if you dont restart the device before plugging it in it wont work.
ive seen the fix for it just too lazy to change it.
Weird Car Charger Problem
I'm running an i-Mate JasJam with Schaps 3.60a, and after reading all the posts about problems with power output and USB pin configurations, thought I would play it safe and buy the 'official' i-Mate car charger.
However, when I first used the car charger, it wouldn't charge. Then I found that after a soft reset, the charger worked perfectly but as soon as I had synched with my PC, the car charger stopped working again.
My view is that this is a software problem and my workaround has been to use bluetooth for synching, and the USB for charging only. I have been using this configuration for the last few weeks, with no problems either on the mains charger, or in the car.
Cheers
yea same here i just plug in and go

I found out by accident that there is a modular car charger that works with HTC just fine. The beauty of this charger is that it has a modular design: the plug (body) itself that goes into your car socket (12V) and a standard USB cable that plugs on one end to the body and on the other end - to the phone.
It works without any problems on my T-mobile Dash, Cingular 8525 and HTC Artemis. The other important positive moment - it's just about $5 at the internet stores. For example here: http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/usb-charger.html
There is no reason why a car charger would not power your Hermes. The Hermes does not recognize the difference between a wall charger and a car charger (there is NO difference).
car charger, Arkon cradle and hermes
Hi, well I can happily report that I can now use my satnav on my hermes, as long as I remember to turn off the device before plugging in the Arkon cradle and car charger, I'm a happy bunny now

Got the same problem. Every so often my jasjam will refuse to charge from the car charger and will need a soft reset. When it gets into that state it will:
Charge from the car charger while the display is OFF
Not charge from a car charger while the display is ON
Charge from a wall charger with the display on OR off
After a soft reset all is back to normal...
Hi,
My qtek 2020 don't charge width the car charger adapter or with an USB cable.
At this moment it only charges in the cradle.
Does anybody knows why?
Regards
Mário
bad connector?
