Hi there,
I noticed that every fortnight or so, my battery would stop charging at all. Does anyone know the reasons for this? For example, I always leave my phone charging at night when i go to sleep. Sometimes, when i wake up in the morning, i discover that the battery has not charged at all, and i am left with about 13% to last me throughout the day.
This is most often caused by the cable. The best option in such cases is to buy a new one. Don't worry, they are cheap, and many phones have the exact same cable, you may even have another one at home.
And if you don't remove the picture from your signature, a moderator will do it for you, you may even get banned.

Are you using the wall charger or is the cable plugged into a computer?
Most operating systems have power saving features that will turn off USB ports when not in use (for example, when your phone isn't pushing data).
If it's a wall charger, check for any buzzing while it's plugged in. This could indicate a defective charger. Though, like the cable, the charger itself isn't all that expensive, either.

Its a wall charger, the default one which comes with the O1

A healthy charger should make a high-pitched squeal when you put your ear to it. If it's defective, it'll sound like a lower-pitched buzzing or a humming.
A quick way to rule out the battery and phone would be to try charging it with another USB device and see if it charges regularly.
Luckily, the batteries for the O1 are cheap and abundant, and the charger can be had from anywhere.
I've got a 2.1 amp car charger and a cable with the pins crossed. Tablet identifies it as (AC) charging... just tried it out and it dropped a percent even being plugged in.

I need a car charger that will do the same. What does the charger that came with it output? Mine was from cowboom and didn't come with one.
Also - my HP touchpad charger can't keep up either.
All I have it doing is playing slacker radio music and the screen on.
I am just pissed because I've dumped money into this stupid charging issue and now with a 2.1 amp charger AND usb cable meant for charging the flyer still can't charge with it's screen on.
How in the helllll are you supposed to use the gps on a long trip with it.. Starting to think this was a bad purchase.

Starting to think people just whine and cannot hit the search button or take the time to read things we wrote months ago.
The stock charger puts out 9v @ 1.2 amps and has a special HTC charging plug on the Flyer end. No standard USB wall or auto charger in the world does that. Use a 120v inverter with the HTC wall wart for God's sake.
And learn how to use the carefully written content already in the Forums before whining and cursing on the forum. That's what we waste our precious time for, trying you help you helpless creatures.

I think HTC has an OEM car charger for like $20-$30.
I agree, it's highly annoying. I was looking yesterday for a right angle cable, but so far, I haven't found one that will still charge this tablet.

Yea, I found a site and ordered the OEM cable - I hope it works because if it doesn't.. this thing is going on ebay and I'll find another solution.
I also have been looking for a right angle cable, but now that you MUST use the htc charger and their weird connector, I'm giving up on that.
Please report back your findings.
I run airplane mode and listen to music through bluetooth from my flyer. My standard charger has been keeping it charged but I haven't run GPS tests with the screen on. I'm sure once I start getting into using GPS with the View I'll be looking for a new car charger as well.
You can get the OEM car charger from Sprint.
Sadly, I don't see Best Buy offering any accesories for the Flyer (including spare chargers/car chargers) so I'm probably going to buy a charger or two from Sprint at some point.

Fascinating... Now I do agree that it wasn't stated very well, I do have to pause here and laugh at your previous claims. A question is a question. I myself have experienced this issue, I just never thought about posting about it. Learned the hard way that if I want to charge it completely, the screen and all apps have to be off because they consume more power.
But you, my, you are a fascinating spectacle I will never quite understand. It almost seems, and please correct me if I am wrong, that you get a pleasure out of making those you perceive as lesser intelligent feel stupid. Also want to redefine "you" as quite a few people on this forum. Remember that people have to learn from somewhere, so please aid them.
So here is something I would like you to take from this before you apply the ever so interesting label troll to this... statement of recent activities. If someone has a question, even if they haven't researched it, then post a link. Because people like me have the misfortune of Googleing threads like this and I receive comments from people like "you" that make the entire experience unpleasant and a true waste of my time.
I also truly wish someone would sticky this post, because these forums are riddled with people like the previously mentioned.

I know how you feel. I think some people have had luck with cutting the cable on the OEM charger and transplanting a regular MicroUSB end, but I just hate the thought of hacking up an expensive OEM charger.
This issue, combined with the crappy support from HTC and the seemingly impossible development of ICS has me strongly considering just getting a different tablet. I bought it primarily to use in the car, but also because of the pen function, but now the pens don't seem to be going back down in price, so I haven't bought one. I just don't like the idea of having to keep pouring into this stupid thing. My plan is to wait it out until Google releases the Nexus tablet, and see how I feel then.
Well, there are several on Amazon. This one is reasonable, but has not yet been rated.

The pictures show a standard MicroUSB tip, so I'm assuming that's just another generic charger. I hate it when vendors do that...they have that junk on eBay, too. I'm sure it works just fine as a regular charger, but I doubt it will work properly for the View.

From everything I've read this will NOT allow you to actually charge the battery while you are using the flyer to do anything.
I want FULL brightness, playing music, using the gps... and still being able to charge.
Anything less than that and it's Aidos to the flyer and OEM charger.

Did you only order a OEM cable, or did you order the actual OEM car charger? I ask because I've used the OEM cable with a 2.1A car charger, and it was unable to charge the device while it was in moderate to heavy use. The charging process via a wall outlet is also incredibly slow if you use the OEM cable with a USB wall charger (versus using the OEM charger which is one piece rather than a USB cable that separates from the charger). The actual OEM car charger should a difference since the OEM wall charger does.

Well, you're likely to be disappointed I believe, and it's no fault of the View or the chargers. Expecting to be able to have the screen on with full brightness, to be playing music, and to use the GPS all simultaneously is a tall order for absolutely any device. Under those circumstances, any phone or tablet will likely not be able to charge when connected to a vehicle charger. At the absolute best, you might maintain the charge level or lose just a small amount. But to actually increase the charge while doing all of that (especially having the screen on at full brightness continuously) is very, very unlikely with any device or any vehicle charger.

You sure you linked to the right thing? The View's OEM chargers have a 9V output, while normal USB chargers only do 5V. The Amazon link doesn't seem to say anything about voltage as far as I can see.

All you have to see is the picture of the standard microUSB tip to know that the charger in the link will not adequately charge the View while under moderate use. HTC uses a modified microUSB port that allows for faster charging of their devices. Standard microUSB cables and chargers can be used with the View, but they don't supply the same level of charge. All the charger in that link would do for the View is charge it very slowly if it wasn't in use at all.

Try to visualize what you are asking for there. Think about the charging port location, the charging port door.
Then the answer will come to you.
BTW if someone has designed this, surely it must stick out like a spare pr*ck ?
Hes talking about a normal case with a back up battery on it. Its plugs in to the charging port. You charge the case. Once fully charged you put it on to your phone and you press the button once your battery is low. It then charges the phone from the stored current.
Theres many for iphones and blackberrys.
@op unfortunately there is none for any android device. The only type is like a micro usb adaptor you connect when you required. Theyre available on amazon for about 5 bucks. Just search for portable micro usb battery charger

I know what he's talking about, when it's from top to bottom, like the iPhone thats fine, but for it to work with the xperiaS it's going to have to connect from the side. It also has a USB port door, should this be removed each time? To have a USB connector on the side is going to make the whole thing very wide..
Yeah for that kind of case thing I agree its not practical. But even those portable chargers I spoke about. Theyre not that big they more practical but I dont **** charging my phone with anything but the original charger. Or any electronic for that matter

I believe the OP is referring to something portable. A "power bank" being a battery...
I don't think it's exactly what you mean, as from your post I picture (in my feeble mind..) a battery pack with a built-in QI charger coil. But, just to experiment and test something, I plugged my Nexus 4 wireless charger cable into my portable battery pack and it works just fine. The Nexus 4 charger may not be ideal for a car, since it doesn't lay flat, but I think the flat charger they sell at Verizon (an LG?) has a micro USB connector as well. If so, it may very well work with any of the battery packs which have a USB charging output.
Keep us posted on what you find.

Ew, I can't believe you guys are actually telling people to break their phones. I'm sorry your covers snapped off, clearly you're all very bitter about it. But let us, whose phones haven't broken and still look sexy, try and enjoy that fact.
I think the OP is looking for something like the mophie with built in Qi charging. I don't think anything exists that does that. I supposed you could hack something together so that a Qi pad connects to the power pack's USB port. It wouldn't be pretty but it'd work. The efficiency of the process though would be pretty painful (charging the pack = loss, wireless charging = loss, heat = loss).

Has anyone had success getting wireless charging to work on the 6T? Before you start, I know, it's not built in. I mean with one of those little cards you plug into the bottom and slip between the phone and case. I have a 10w capable charging pad I'd like to use. The receiver I got doesn't seem to go in far enough. When plugged in to my old 3T, it will charge wirelessly and it doesn't go all the way into the phone unlike the 6T. I noticed that with the official OP charging cable there is a little click when inserting when then and only then it will charge. I can't get the receiver in far enough before bottoming out to get that click. Or would current output not be high enough on the receiver for the phone to recognize?

This phone can pretty much be charged once a day with the way most of us are using it. Having it slowly charge over night with wireless charging may be less straining in the battery. I'm tempted but so far I just charge to around 80% at night before bed and unplug overnight.
I was looking at that one on Amazon. Seems like the gold one on there may be better?
My question is, if you have to plug the wireless charging card into your USB C port anyway, does that defeat the entire purpose? Not dissing it or anything, that's very subjective, but.....

Just remove cable. No big deal I have done this. Plus I don't use the dongle only Bluetooth headphones.
The reason that I use a wireless charging receiver pad plugged into my usb-c is because I've seen more than one of them go bad on other phones.
Besides the power button, the next most likely part of a phone to fail is its charge port. Likely because of sheer mechanical wear and tear on both these components. Which is why I use gestures to turn on and off my display, and that wireless receiver.
However, it's not without drawbacks:
- I'm not sure that having something perpetually plugged in doesn't stress the port much less than taking something in and out. But I figure it does.
- It's a pain to use the port for anything else, like otg drives or wired headphones or adb
- dash charging is WAY faster than wireless

Does it work if I have the terminal with the original red case?
Lack of wireless charging is my only real gripe with the 6T. This sounds like a good solution if you never plan to use the USB port. I like the quick wired charging but having the option for wireless would be a good feature. How hard could it have been for OnePlus to add? Is the back case metal? It looks like glass to me.
Just easier for me to plug in my USB-C slow charger. Not sure what the advantage is to doing this. If you put it between the back of the phone and a case, I get it. Just plugging it into a USB-C wireless receiver seems like a waste of 15 -20 bucks for zero gain. At least for me.
I bought this one so I can still charge it if needed. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNW32V4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
