My dad's X10 is giving a strange charging problem.
Suddenly it stopped charging via official charger and with USB too but my X10 charges fine with the same charger so no problem in charger.
Now the strange part it that I had an old nokia usb wire lying around. To my surprise the phone charges properly using it via USB.
So what is the problem with? Only sending it for repair is the choice?
thanks
possibly the battery mate, or maybe a loose usb, the usb cables for x10's are crazy, iv been through 3 so far, they wont charge my phone, but they charge my wifes xperia mini pro sk17i no problem at all, i think there is a slight size difference between mine and her port and also check the "springy metal grabbers" on the micro usb which end you plug into phone lol hope this helps

I have two official chargers tried both. Doesnt work but my x10 charges fine lol
Try this...
Dude maybe the usb port of your dad's X10 is broken/damaged/loose. If the "tongue" inside the USB port is tilted down, try using a thin and small "negative" screwdriver to position the "tongue" of the USB port in the center of the port, maybe that could help in charging the USB. There's also another way, try using another usb cable, I've been using alot of cables for my X10, even use some nokia cables for it since it also has microUSB. If it still doesnt work, try using a universal charger where everytime you charge, you need to remove your battery off the X10 and insert it in the universal charger. Hope this helps.

Thats a good tip but take care with the universal battery chargers they kill batteries if left to charge too long

Anyone know if the the HTC Wizard needs the 4-pin or the 5-pin USB Mini-B cable for syncing & charging from a PC?
I'm using my SONY camera's USB cable, and it has 5 pins visible inside. Dunno if it's using all 5, but there you go

Thank you very much. That's what I needed to know before I went out and bought some cables.
Yeah, it got 5 pins inside, for sure!
I have my original cable attached to my computer at work where I am right now, so it was easy to check
You can get a retractable USB-A to USB Mini 5-pin (the cable the Wizard needs) here:

I had one for my Treo and I still have all the attachments (wall plug and cigarette plug) so they will fit right into that.
I am not sure if the phone can take advantage of USB 2 so the second link might not be worth the money.
Starting to have problems with my USB Connector i think!
Basically, if i plug it in, nothing happens, doesn't charge!
If i wiggle it around and hold it in a set place, it starts to work/charge.
Im guessing this means there is a problem with the USB port on the mainboard of the phone?
Hell yeah, seems to happen alot in x10. That's what happened to me, then it fried my battery and wouldn't connect at all to charger or PC. Had to send it off for repair, luckily still under warranty tho. They fixed it, I now take real care when connecting.

Think it could actually be my charger!
Just tried my brothers Blackberry charger, same connection. Plugged in works fine, no waggling needed at all!
Im guessing maybe the connection on the inside of the cahrger is dying or, the hole in the charger has gotton a little too big and doesn't fit snugly in the X10 anymore!
Be carefully using blackberry charger, runs different volt/amp and wont do your battery much good in long run. Get a new Sony charger.

Yeah, was just to test!
Ordered myself a new EC-700 Genuine cable off ebay
ya i had a simler issue with my x10 i used
org sony charger adapter + sony usb cable
moto usb + sony charger
blackberry mini usb with micro adapter + sony charger
allso tryed a iphone usb wall adapter (but that was after i found my micro port to be not responding to anything)
a blackberry usb with micro adapter
an a blackberry wallk charger with micro adapter
sum how sum way my micro usb port got fryed an i had to send my phone back to att to get a new one thank god it happend 35 days in to the 90 day warnty

Do you have the model number?
I'll check when I get back home.

I'm curious as well. I thought that something was wrong with my phones USB port as I have to wiggle it around before it connects (very loose connection). tried plugging my phone in with other cables (blackberry and arc) and it stayed connected fine. Friend of mine plugged her phone in using my cable and it did the same thing as it does with mine. It's reassuring to know it's not the phone as that would be expensive to fix, the cable on the other hand is cheaper If you find one let me know.
Sorry, I seem to have lost the little tag on the USB cable that shows the model number.
Hi,
I have "datacable by OTB" which also charges my nokia for a few bugs from EBay. Every cable with mini- (micro-?) usb should do.
Ralf
Asked my friend, Model Number is EC600L
Ye any micro USB cable will work.
Some people prefer OEM
It's a feature! micro USB was intentionally designed so that the cable will wear out rather than the jack.
On another thread it was suggested that biting on the end of the cable tightens the cable allowing it to connect. I seem to have revitalized my old original cable though I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth.

If you really want a model number I recently bought an OEM cable for a spare for work etc its labelled CA-101
As above though its a standard micro usb cable ...
(used this cable recently to flash and then reflash my x10i after killing my phone with various patching and the cable works great lol!)
Note I also use a Nokia mains charger for my spare work charger as that's all the guy had on his stall and it works just fine
I have the Nokia CA-101. ill check the OEM one when I get home. but I like the Nokia OEM one. it's longer :3

I am using an BB micro-USB cable as my alternative cable which cost me MYR10 around 3USD. Bought from a local Computer shop. Mobile phone shop sell at higher price.
Notice that the stock cable charge my phone bat. will reach @ 40'c while the BB micro-USB cable will above 40'c. Maybe due to the stock cable having 'resistor' locate near the both end of the cable meanwhile the BB micro-USB cable don't have.
Hi everyone I just have a question, Is my USB Broken? My USB Data connect doesn't work unless I just keep have to changing the position, Sometime if i put it down it only charges , no USB debugging or anything, When I put more force I get the whole mounting SD and I could use flahtool, but my Charger works flawlessly... It has always chargede my phone .. Is it my USB side not working, or is it just my cable ?
Try a different cable. If it works, great problem solved. If not, most likely a broken usb port.

I got nearly the same Problem: my cable at home fits perfect (I can even shake my phone) - but if I use the cable I have at work it always reconnects only if I switch a Song of touch the screen - so I bei it is the cable

Same
Sometimes i accidently drop the phone while charging and that may cause problems with usb cable as internal cables may be damaged- now everytime i move the cable it resets the connection with computer...
My poor X10! Will look after it from now on!
I had the same issue and thought my USB port was bad however when I plugged in my bluetooth charger (also micro USB) it charged my phone.. I bit down a little bit on my usb** cable end to give it a tighter connection and voila.. works perfect now.
** I am not responsible for any broken teeth or accidentally swallowed USB cables, nor am I responsible in general
It turns out the micro-USB standard was designed in such a way as to put the parts that tend to wear out quickly in the cable rather than the device connector. This was done to maximize the number of connects/disconnects possible in the lifetime of the jack. This probably explains why cables stop working over time in some cases. (Perhaps the x10 is particularly sensitive)

Great suggestion! I seem to have revitalized my original cable (for charging anyhow, haven't tried connecting to the computer) with this technique. I substituted a pair of needle nose pliers for my teeth, though.

try using a different USB cable, or else try to clean the place where usb connects the phone port. Some dust or sticky material might create hindrance.
Hello
I have a big problem with my Razr, my usb connector of my razr is broken.
I can not charge it anymore, it is not caused by usb cable because I tried with differents.
Someone know if we can buy new usb connector and replace it ?
Thanks you.

Is the connector on the phone "physically" broken, or does it just not charge?
It just doesn't charge.
But the connector is damaged for sure.
Just as a temp solution you Cern use battery charges (connecting their probes directly to the bat. + -)

I tried to do that yesterday but it didnt work.
I cut an usb cable and I put the red and black wires only on screw (
I did not have a screwdriver )
