Have you tried charging it with the wall charger?
If your battery goes completely dead then it has to be charged via a mains adapter and not pc or car adapter USB.

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

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,
I'm getting some problems charging my Hero. As of last night, it's stopped taking any charge when connected to the mains (with the supplied USB cable and 3pin plug usb adaptors).... although when I connect it to my laptop, it seems to charge?!
It worked with both without issue until last night... although I do typically charge it at work via usb (except weekend, hence why I only noticed it last night).
Has anyone experienced a similar issue and know of any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Brian.
I've also tried both charging methods while the fone is switched off.... and it behaves the same way.
:-(
have you tried another charger? maybe an older style HTC MiniUSB charger (if you have one), cos it sounds like your charger's died.
Did you use the same cable for both methods (the supplied one with mains adaptor) if you did and it worked via pc/laptop then you would guess the mains adaptor has died.
I would say that your charger is dead. Power supplies on them blow sometimes, maybe from power surges, maybe they're just made poorly.
Try another charger.
Try unclipping and reclipping the pin plate. The interchangeable pins sometimes come loose.
Hi everyone, hope someone can advise.
I have a UK TG01 and it works ok but overnight it wont charge from the mains charger but it charges via usb.
I have tried different chargers and an old HTC mini usb charger with a mini to micro adapter fitted but its still the same.
I have the Mugen 1300Mha battery but its the same with the standard battery on all chargers.
I have cleaned out both the charger plug and the socket on my TG01 just in case of dust but no good it only charges via usb.
I have hard reset and flashed the standard UK Orange rom but this makes no difference.
Does anyone know whats going on? it was fine, no changes or software loaded and one day its fine and the next day it wont charge??
Any advice would be gratefully received, thanks for reading.
Faulty USB sockets i think try send it back to Toshiba for warranty repair.
Not sure about that as my TG01 does charge if I plug it into my laptop, this would suggest the socket is ok?
I believe that the charger is faulty, try a new micro usb charger, or try another socket

Agreed. As the TG01 is charging via USB, then there is most unlikely to be an issue with the uUSB socket on the phone.
To tell the TG01 to go into charging mode, the uUSB connector on the charger must have the two data pins shorted out. This is the equivalent effect to connecting to a host laptop or PC when connected via a USB sync and charge cable.
If you have a non-standard charger or are using an adapter from eg. mini-USB to uUSB it is very likely that this will not be implemented.
A few questions...
- Are you trying with the supplied Toshiba charger ?
- If so did it work OK with this before but not now ? [likely duff charger]
- If a 3rd part charger, again has it ever worked ? [if not then probably missing the required pin config]
Hope that is of some help.
Hi Kevin, its a genuine Toshiba charger and I have been using it since day one.
I took my charger into work today and tried a friends Nokia micro usb charger and that worked first time so duff charger.
No, I asked him to try my Toshiba charger and that also worked
So I assume my original charger possibly may not be 'shorting' correctly or presenting exactly the right resistance to the TG01 or possibly my TG01 is getting a little fussy about how it charges.
Anyway I have ordered a genuine Nokia charger from ebay and fingers crossed all should be well and thanks for all the advice everyone.
Hi,
I have HTC flyer, its charging very well on usb via pc, but not charging thru. charger.any solution available.
thanks in advance.
Double checked the charger (and wall outlet for that matter)? If its a USB plug try charging something else from it.
Hello guys, newbie have strange problem here..
My SGS2 won't charge using wall charger. But I can charge the phone using USB cable.
Anyone ever experience that? I have tried to wipe battery stats through CWM, but it has no effect.
Please give me hint to solve my problem..
Thanks in advance
what wall charger are you using? You using the cable and a computer but it will take forever.
Are you using the official wall charger that came with your phone?
I'm using official wall charger coming with the phone. I also have tried using other wall charger from other samsung phone type. same problem.
So I can only charge using my usb cable now..
this might sound obvious, but have you tried plugging the charger into a different wall socket?
try cleaning the pins on your phone. maybe you have a buildup of dusts or whatever.

Yes, I tried at home and office..
maybe you're right, it's dust problem.. I'll try to make it sure clean..
have you tried a different cable with the wall charger?
Thanks for all the replies. Turn out the problem is on the wall charger. Yes, I've tried with different wall charger (my brother's), turn out the charger also not functional. At that time, I thought my brother's charger works fine so I blame it on the battery.
And then I tried to charge using my friend charger and my phone is able to charge
So I think I'll buy new charger
