Hello, guys.
Well, I have MiniCM7-2.2.0 on my X10 Mini Pro, and the rom is perfect, except for one issue: the phone is not charging anymore.
It's been some days since I plug the cable on the phone and it does not recognize it. Them, I have to reboot the phone, with the cable pluged, for it to be able to charge. Sometimes, even rebooting it won't fix the problem, and I stay with the battery off until it magically star working, after a thousand times.
What can I do?
I have searched the forum, but found no similar threads.
Sorry for my bad english. Hope you can help me.
ok first things first, change your rom and kernel, and if that doesnt work change your cable, and if that doesnt work it is your usb port that is stuffed for your phone, because i have exact same problem, dont keep trying because it will make your usb port smoke, literally it has happened to me ! if none of those work, you'll have to buy a external charger about 4 bucks off ebay hope i helped

I've tried with 3 or 4 different cables, and the problem continues.
Let me try re-installing the kernel and rom and see if that works.
If doesn't work, I don't know what i'm going to do, 'cause there is another issue, besides the charging problem: the memory card. I can only access the files through the usb cable. How will I move the files on the memory card?
Anyway, thanks for the help!
Urghh maybe your USB charging port got a problem?

Seems like the USB port for my X10 is not working. Last night I found myself having to wiggle the usb cord a bit to get the phone to detect but now it just won't detect at all. I've tried restarting, taking the battery out, using different cords, connecting to a power outlet and to my computer to no avail. Anyway to fix it? My immediate guess is to just take the phone apart and resolder the USB port but I'm not sure. Any input or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Same here USB dead not charging neither communicates with pc
I'm having the same problem with my SGS, after updating to froyo. Very frustrating

Send it for repairs.
same problem here
I have the same problem, cant charge/connect since 2 days. Didnt do anything wrong with the cables....
solutions are welcome, sending for repair can always be done, but i prefer another solution, so i dont have to miss my phone for weeks.
Today I wanted to charge my phone via USB. But now it is discharging. Why ? I'm using another microUSB cable, not original one. Phone says charging(USB) but i've lost 40% so far.
Mine does this too - I've found turning it off, letting it charge for a bit in the off state, then turning it back on again gets it to charge properly again
I have read many threads around the web, and there seems to be many errors concerning charging errors with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
In my case it was the usb micro cable it self.
Day 1
I received the mob.
Charged it to full, using usb cable and AC/DC/USB-adapter, while i was turned on.
Day 2
Checked out the mob until there was only 15% left on the battery indicator.
Trying to charge just like day1...faliure...nothing happens :-(
Trying to charge via PC...faliure...nothing happens :-(
Trying to charge just like day1 with mob turned off...succes...it is charging
I let it charge to the next day.
Day 3.
Morning...i can see it has stopped charging...it must be full ?
I turn on the mob.
Nope only 46% ??? Damn.
I try charging while on, via adapter and PC...faliure :-(
I leave it on the table for about 2 hours and then come back.
I plug out the cable and...hmmm...the micro connector is a bit warm...hmmm
The mob i cold all over...it might be the cable thats faulty
I get my HTC HD2 usb micro cable...plug it in...and plug it to adapter
Succes Its charging...also via PC.
It seems:
The standard SE micro usb cable (that we are warned, only to use) is faulty.
I have read that many, have got their mob back from service repair, and i still dosent work ? Time after time.
It must be because, the service repair center is using their own micro usb cable, and there by not discovering what the real error is....the standard cable following the mini is defekt.
I have written to SE in Denmark...im waiting for their answer...if they are wise, then they are going to check their hole stock of cables
Well i got an answer fro SE
Guess what the answer was ???
"We have never had errors like that in our service department!"
I know the are lying, or just ignoring errors, because my daugthers friend had the exact same problem...witch SE couldent repair (2 attempts).
Posetive thing:
SE offered to change my micro usb cable to a new 1 (faulty one i guess)
I wrote back to SE:
I do not need a new cable since i have 3 working noname micro usb cables!
And explained the hold shabang 1 more time, telling them that the repair center would not catch the error unless, they used the exact same cable as the costumer!.
Since then i havent heard from SE
Conclusion:
SE doesnt give a damn about their costumers problems
Consequence:
I dont wanna buy an SE cellphone ever again!!! (this phone was for my daughter).
From now on i stick to HTC...ive got at HTC HD2 and i just LOOOOOOVE IT
PS. The micro usb cable for my HD2 works perfect with the mini pro. No charging errors at all
hello...
Well guys i was with the same problem... the mobile was discharging when connected to USB port... so i just changed the USB port and it begun to charge!!!!!
SOmetimes the USB port has no power to charge so u may change it...
for me it worked well.
good luck
I have this problems, since few days ago.
And after a search in many web pages, the solutions didn´t appear, I don´t know, if this a issue whit the usb cable or the usb slot in the phone, I really try differents things, turn on while push the camera button, or the - vol button, sometimes work, but is really a pain in the a...
if someboby already find a solution lets us know.

thank you for your helpful message t.siddharth
i had the same problem with my phone, initially i replaced the cable then i sent the phone for repair twice as the first time it was not fixed.
6 months later the charging fault reoccurs, so i took phone apart myself and found that the mini usb socket had come away from the pcb.
The problem:
I can't get into download mode, when turn off the phone and connect it to USB or WALL charger it automatically boot the phone instead of show the battery charging image
The PC doesn't recognize it (tried many drivers), nothing happens its like I've never plugged it in!!! no messages, no icons NOTHING it just charge
What I've tried:
3 different usb cables
3 different PC (all usb ports)
3 Different galaxy s
Debuggin mode on/off thing
A lot of drivers
Also disassembled the phone to see if something as wrong with the usb port and everything seems in order.
Specs:
Stock 2.1-update1
T959UVKA2
Kernel 2.6.29
ECLAIR.UVKA2
Update 07/21/2012
using the sd card adapter mounted a update.zip called Overstock (It'll have a lock screen loop) but fortunately I comes with CWM and i had a ROM called [ROM][2.2 Froyo][Stock] T959UVKB5 [Deodexed w/Lockscreens+Power Menu] .It has a power menu where I can acces to the download mode but the problems stated above persist.
i cant believe this a hardware problem because it charge normally but this's going me crazy
HEEELP PLEASE!!
Because of this I cant even odin soo I dont know what to do
Early I opened the phone again to check usb port and connections, everything seems to be ok... Installed a ICS ROM called SLIM and have the same problem sooo it has to me a hardware problem T_T but there are no usb port pins loose!!! if nobody have something to add I officially give up here...

I'm not sure what else you can do. For me personally the only usb data cable that works for me is the one from the Tmobile store. I have 2 cables from amazon.com and my old usb cable. None of them work for some reason but they do work with my friends vibrant (weird). If a cable from tmobile doesn't work then the data pins on your usb port could be damaged while your charging pins are still ok( this happens). Tmobile has a 30 day return policy on the $15 usb cable so give that a try if you haven't already. If you end up having to replace your usb port I recommend www.mobiletechvideos.com, lots of users have had success with them in the past.

Any chance you could be more specific?
I am in the same boat friend, and I'm not even remotely sure how to go about cleaning a usb port @[email protected]
Hey guys,
Suddenly today my USB stopped working (only charge, no mass storage). So i thought that the device might be bricked so I tried following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265
But USB is not even recognized in FASTBOOT, so I dunno where to start. I'm thinking that it might be a hardware problem.
My problem is identical to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678512
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Bump
It once happen to me but afterwards I findout that it was a problem with my data cable.
I hope it might help you.

Happened to me too. Had to replace the USB board.
I have the same problem, searched the same forums but it did not work... tried with another laptop, tried with two other data cables, but still not working... I feel it must be a hardware problem...
Now for flashing ROMs, I remove my SD card and plug it directly into the laptop to save the ROM...

You may try and clean the USB-port on the Legend. It does accumulate quite a bit of dust over time and may prevent good contact.
I got a replacement unit after 15 months because of a broken camera and noticed that the usb cable fit much tighter and went in quite a bit deeper than on my old Legend.
A needle should work just fine. =)
Hey all,
I thought my USB port was broken given that it didn't charge and I couldn't connect it to the PC.
So I bought a nice one and replaced it.... no dice. Still doesn't work. However, the odd thing is, I also bought a USB jig and that does work. Anyone got any clue what could be going on?
Cheers
Maybe the wrong USB board, there's a couple of different ones, best way to work it out is match up with the one already in the phone. Search for similar threads in Q&A over the past few mths; there's been detailed discussions (and pics from memory) of which board is which.
Check on this thread.....

As you said that even after replacing the port.... it didnt work. And it worked out after you connected it to your new USB jig. This means that there might be a problem with the original USB wire which comes with phone when you Buy it. It might even be a problem with the Connectivity Board in the phone as it must have been damaged. I'm not really sure about this but it might even be a problem with software... Maybe you should have tried to atleast wipe the whole system... maybe then you would get to know more about the problem.
Cheers
heh, yeah, I did check that and ordered a 2.2, but they sent me a 2.3.
However, I stuck my old 2.2 one back in, and tried it with the jig, and the jig works :S
So no my USB doesn't work, but the USB jig does... that's really got me confused
EDIT: Yeah, I did think about software, so I tried to install a different ROM and then I got scared and thought I bricked the phone (it didn't like that wrong USB version was there I guess). I'll see how that goes.
I tried a different cable. The weird thing is it sort of slowly died, and I had to stick the cable in at a weird angle and stuff, so that's why I thought it was the USB port.
As I understand it, there are 5 (?) connectors in the socket. Each connector when paired with the common or ground contact (probably the shielding on the outside of the socket) will perform a different task (that's probably an over simplification of the sockets functionality.........but you get the idea)....eg/ data transfer in, data transfer out, charging, jig resetting, usb docking, usb otg.....that sort of thing.
When you get the situation you're in, it simply means that the relevant connector for the required task is damaged or worn out.....but that doesn't mean that ALL the connectors are affected.... ..that is why some functions work while others don't.......
