Hi guys,
I got a problem. I recently moved from the Netherlands to Curacao, and somewhere in the process I lost my wall charger for my Startrek.
I was planning on using the Startrek as a backup phone, but I hadn't used it in a while. It turns out to be dead. Well, I've had it before, when I just had to plug in the wall charger and wait about 5 minutes, then the red light, indicating the charging process, would come on.
Here's the problem: I have the USB cable, and no matter what I try, or how long I wait, I can't get it to turn on.
Does anybody what I can do? Or is there perhaps someone on the island that could help me out by lending me the wall charger for an hour?
Anxiously awaiting a reply,
Stijn
try to get a universal charger...
Is there one that fits?

I tried finding one, but none of the "universal" chargers have a plug for Startrek...
buy one on ebay.
And that's the question. Does the Verizon model work well? And by "well," I mean "fast."
I saw a Seido charger in another thread, but there's no way I'm waiting 12 hours for my extended battery to charge.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Multi-Purpose-Universal-Thonderbolt-Revolution/dp/B0058XCV7O
it charges my standard battery in about 2 hours. It even has a usb plug and a micro usb plug so that you can charge your phone while you charge your extra battery. it works with every (android phone) battery i've tried so far. it should work on your extended batteries also. its cheap too!
I've got two of these. Work great!

I also bought the Anker charger but it is a pain to line up the pins each time. I'm terrified I'll short out my expensive batteries!

Thank you. Just bought two for $8.50 total. Hell of a deal!
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Just picked up the Anker charger - beyond happy with it, but I doubt it will last the life of my phone. I was just happy to charge my standard and extended batteries at the same time.
The USB port did not seem to have a full charge pass-through, sort of like charging from a USB adapter in my car. Seems to provide a trickle charge.
Otherwise very happy to have it.
Thanks again guys, for the suggestions.

I have a charger very similar to the one suggested by SamXp. But I got the package deal that comes with a 1500mah battery included, made by HyperCel: (due to the rules I can't post links yet)
The battery was complete garbage IMO, it's not a solid "slab" like the OEM one. The part where the charging pins connect is separate from the cells and pretty much just wrapped in flexible plastic. Definitely not going to trust that in my phone.
I have a question though: I seem to have issues with the touchscreen responsiveness when I'm using USB output charging port. Anyone else seen this? The OEM charger (and my laptop's USB port) don't have this issue. It's annoying because I have to unplug my phone to shut off alarms, answer calls, etc. Does the anker charger have this problem? Could someone who owns one test for me? I've tried with both a generic micro usb cable and the oddly-shaped HTC OEM cable with the same results.

I'll test this as soon as I get the chance and report back to you.

It has a red charging light and when charging is complete that same light turns white. You will need a microUSB cable...

adapter?
is it the original wall charger and the usb data cable.?
i too had a problem with an ordinary usb data cable. it charges so sloow. like 1%/20 minutes.
better use the original accesories if its the original one and defective better return it for replacement.
It's probably a cabel problem. Charging occurs only when pins AC and Ground (1 and 5 AFAIK) are both connected, and often some of the pins stop working. If it's not a kernel of power supply problem (Which it probably isn't), it will be solved by simply changing the cable. Or if the cable works in usb charging, buy a new adapter (Make sure it's 5V before buying).
I had the original charger, then broke it...
I bought an USB to replace that(the connector was messed up)... but that charged slow, and discharge when using...(still on the original charger, but another cable)
For 2 months, I borrowed galaxy chargers, and any other friends with cables like mine, I asked them for the charger...
Then, I decided this must stop! I told my mom to find me a galaxy s charger (she was noob, doesn't know I can charge from non-lg cables)...
She found me one, and all fine...
But, before trying to buy one of those, go to a friend with a charger that fits Optimus one, and try it, if it charges faster, then buy a new charger

my mothers camera does not charge with a usb cable while when I put the cable in the camera the charge button is on.
I did not know there are still differences in USB cables ...

Our stock charger uses a wall "adapter" and an usb cable... it charges from usb, but the chargers that have no adapter (you can't remove the usb from it), charge lot better, I recommend using one of those... any samsung charger that "fits" in our phone is better than stock charger
In mine it charges rarely ! i had lg normal charger but it stops charging if i lift the cell nd use it! den took my moms samsung pop charger ..it worked fine for few weeks den again same problem arised :-S

I lost mine. I bought 2 for one deal from ebay (noname cables) and they wont charge 30% during al night. So i told them it's faulty and they sent 2 another one. still no charge so i bought an htc one wich seems a bit better, but still not like the original. My friends lg optimus 3d cable was charged it full from ~70% in about 30 mins. His another htc cable was worked fine.
C series serial number prime worked for three days now won't take a charge. Device will connect to pc or mac via cable, just won't take a charge. Any ideas for me?

there have been other threads about this. usually its the charger overheating and putting it in a ziplock in the freezer, resets it.
Mine did that too, just leave the charger and everything unplugged from the wall for a day. That fixed mine.

The other issue I've seen is poor contact in the USB socket on the wall adapter. I had to unplug the usb cable from the wall adapter. Then, look at the usb socket on the power adapter. The gold pins are the usb contacts. Directly opposite of them, there should be two silver prongs. I had to use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry both of them out a little further to ensure they did their job of firmly pushing the usb cable against the socket's usb contacts. Once I did, my TF201 was able to get charge from it, again.
If you decide to replace the wall charger, I believe Fry's and Office Depot stock the asus charger.
Same thing for me.. PC recognizes it as a media device, but will not charge with wall charger. Wall charger works with my HTC Phone, so it works.
I don't think it has anything to do with the latest update, since the Dock wont charge either, and there's no OS in that, right?
Just experienced this today. I have had it unplugged for about 10 hours now, we'll see if it charges.
I had the same issue few days after I got my prime. I connected my sgs to the charger and it worked. Then connected the prime and voila-works.

C1. There are some good suggestions here I need to try.
Wrap it in a towel and bang it against a table. That will fix it usually. Then get some pc heatsinks and some arctic silver adhesive and you can attach them to the charger to keep it from happening again.
The plug has two options, 5V (standard for USB?) and 15V. I used the plug on my old HTC phone (Ozone) and then plugged it back into my Prime and it worked. Thanks for the great tips guys.
Since the charger works in two modes, I wonder if some charges became confused and started dishing out 5V when they should be dishing out 15V. Thoughts?

Hi, I got the same problem. The charger indeed seems to be stuck in the 5V mode, since, when plugged in the tablet does get charged, even though it is not indicated, but very slowly. It is charging as if it is plugged in to a pc.
I tried plugging it into (old) phones, but I still can't seem to get it to switch back to the 15V mode.
The freezer didn't help either.
Any other suggestions?
I waited about 4-5 hours before plugging into my old phone. My other suggestion is to allow the phone to charge for a short bit (30 minutes) unplug and wait, then plug into your Prime.
I have a feeling that its a transistor toggle that isn't flipping at the correct voltage.
I've had the same problem yesterday. In my case the problem was with the charge socket on the keyboard itself. Some copper pins were deformed and that stopped the device charging. I took a magnifying glass(also for checking if any of the copper pins are bend) and a small tool to bend them back. After this it charged again. Hope this helps.
My charger suddenly stopped working from today. The Prime is detecting the connection as the screen turns ON but it is not charging. I charged my sensation using the same adapter and USB cable and it is working fine. Why can I not charge Prime via PC like phone? Is it possible? I am in India and not sure if the power adapter is easily available as Prime is not yet launched in India.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I've started to have this problem today, plug it in and it does come up with the charge icon but it doesn't charge - or doesn't seem to.
However I left it connected last night from midnight until 8am this morning and it went from 13% to 17% so it is charging VERY VERY slowly although the unit doesn't actual seem to think it is.
I have it plugged in to my phone right now and its working perfectly, I borrowed the charger to my g/f last night to charge her iphone and i'm thinking this might have done something to flip the voltage as since then it isn't working.
Anyone have any ideas on this??

But if the charger works fine when charging a phone it cant be the connection at fault..
It does seem to me that the power it is outputting has dropped especially the I managed to gain 5% over the course of a night where WIFI was off and screen was off even though the charge icon doesn't come up.
Is there a way of forcing the charger back in to 12v mode??
damnit... I had the same problems a few days ago and I thought it was in the cable instead of the charger... not realising the charger has to put out 15v instead of 5v.
Does this mean the Transformer won't charge with for example, my HTC charger?
I totally messed up my cable, because I thought it was broken... when I opened up the USB plug, I noticed the yellow wire was not connected anymore, but this didn't solve anything. Eventually I messed up the cable that bad, that I've ordered a new one from ebay... but when I read this... I should have just banged the charger a few times... shait.

Has anyone actually ever managed to fix this problem? I've just contacted ASUS about it to see what they say - hopefully they'll ship me out a new charger plug or something, what a useless charger!!
I was using the power bot qi charger for months and then one day it stopped connecting and didn't charge wirelessly anymore. Thought it was the charger so i bought the choe qi charger. It still doesn't connect. Could it be the phone?
I should also mention that I was able to get the power bot to connect when I squeezed up against the back of the phone but once I let go it would disconnect, but now that doesn't even work.
Everthing else on the phone work fine and I even did a full restore. Not sure what else to do. Anyone else have this issue or have suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your cable? Because I have a ChloeStadium or whatever qi wireless charger and lately when I charge my phone, it flickers charging. I don't know what it is but I rely on a turbo charger with high amps (2.4 ma at most) to fast charge my phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried every cable I could find with no luck. My thought now is that maybe the qi hardware in the phone has gone bad. I don't know what else to think it could be. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
I have the same issue with my Xperia Z3v. I tried several Qi chargers (including one at Verizon store) with no luck. I think that the Qi receiver in the phone has some problem. Any suggestions please?

Try the cable first to see if the cable went bad like I mentioned above. It's strange the cables are bad for me.

I've tried multiple cables and chargers with no luck. My only thought is the Qi hardware is bad.
I have the same problem. Wireless charging just stopped working. It might be when I rooted and flashed the phone.
