Hello everyone! Probably everyone have seen an awesome video instruction about adding wireless charging option to lumia 800. Everything went great, but the device doesn't actually accept charge, it accepts charge every 2 seconds like led bulb on video. It obviously shouldn't be like that. Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Has anyone noticed a high pitched noise coming from their charger? I finally pinned down the sound today. It stops after unplugging/plugging in, but returns soon after.
Once and a While
it only happens to my charger once and a while , for me, I noticed if I leave it unplugged for about an hour it stops.. Idk what makes it happen tho..
It happens when you unplug it from the gpad.
It happens to me even when the Gtab is plugged in
I haven't written this in a long time and it will help bunches of folks:
Notice that the model number on the charger is MPA-630.
If you Google that you will find it is not too hard to find and not too
expensive if you need one. I believe it is commonly used with digital
picture frames.

My charger has been buzzing as well. It really bugs me. Im wondering if it has anything to due with the led light on the charger. I might try and take it apart tonight.
Since installing the GDR3 preview my phone does some really strange things when sitting on the wireless charger. It's gotten so bad lately that I have to put it in vibrate mode at night to keep from waking me.
When I first set it on the charging plate, it wakes up and dings just like it always has. However, a short time after, it will start doing that same thing over and over again. The last few days I'll take a look at it when I get up in the morning and it's got multiple apps running. This morning it was the Pro camera and picture apps. Yesterday it was Facebook and email. The day before that it was multiple settings pages...
Weirdness abounds!
Anyone else experiencing this?

When you put it on the charger place it so that the bottom end where the speakers are line up with the edge of the charger where the LED is. Also make sure it is centered from side to side. The last update turned down the sensitivity of the NFC system which is what the charger and phone use to talk with each other. If it is not lined up just right the phone does not think it is on the charger correctly and is warning you. It also apparently will chime now when it reaches full charge. I have not found out how to turn that feature off. I assume you can't. I think this is limited to the AT&T release of Amber only.

Interesting...I have noticed that it doesn't do it on the charging plate I have in my office, only at home. Of course, I have a Fatboy charging pillow and if MS did make the signal weaker, then that may explain it. I'm going to pull the charging plate (standard Nokia) out of the Fatboy and try it tonight.
I'll report back, thanks.
i not notice any strange behavior... have wireless chargers Nokia CR-200 and Nokia DT-900

But you are not running the official AT&T Amber update that was sent to our phones OTA. As I said I think this is just AT&T adding their usual BS to a ROM to make it theirs.
i'm also running GDR3 on my 920, but i've got this "problem" from the beginning with one of my chargers...
interesting, where did you get that information about the weaker NFC singal? And are you shure, it does'nt work the other way around? (that the charger sends the signal/power to activate the NFC chip/tag on the phone?! seems to make much more sense to me)
What wireless charger model? Some of wireless charger has NFC inside and can use it to launch the app.

Both are DT-900. Thinking about trying one of those models from eBay since they're larger than the Nokia.

DT-900 do not have NFC inside. But to make sure. Did you try to turn tap+send off before charging?
Hi everyone,
New G3 user here, absolutely love this phone. I got a Qi charging sticker (http://amzn.com/B00MMRWS5E) and charger (http://amzn.com/B00F1SHFJA) on Amazon and both seem to work great, except for one minor hiccup: when my phones reaches 100%, the charging will shut off completely. It does not appear to trickle-charge; I put my phone on the charger at night and when I wake up my battery is often somewhere in the 90-99% range and the Battery panel in settings shows it as being off charge for sometimes several hours. I've searched high and low on these forums and through Google, and come up empty.
This issue isn't really a big deal, except that it messes with the Tasker profile I have set up to pair to my Bluetooth stereo when wireless charging (for music alarm). I realize there are ways to tweak the profile to work around this anomaly, but I'd really like it to work this way and I can't shake the idea that something is borked with my phone.
Anyone else experienced this? Is this standard behavior for this phone? My next thought is to try another wireless charger (the Tylt looks pretty cool) and see if that has any impact on it.

I have no issue, put the phone on the charger at night and in the morning it still shows charging at 100%.. I would suggest trying a different charger, I got generic one on ebay, sticker and pad cost a total of $8 and it works great.

I ordered this one http://amzn.com/B00JA7HNZO, it'll be here Monday and I'll report back.
I got three of these for $8 each with free prime shipping a while back. they work fine on my lg g3 and my wifes samsung gs4

Testing wired charging tonight to rule out if this problem happens with wireless-only charging or any charging method. I'm starting to suspect my qi charger more and more, but this will tell us for sure.
Turned out my original Qi charged was faulty - new charger came today and everything works great! Phone charges to 100% and trickle-charges from there, and best of all it doesn't bork up my Tasker profile. All is well in the world.
Case closed.
EDIT:
Here's the one I got that caused this problem: http://amzn.com/B00F1SHFJA
And here's the one that does not cause the problem: http://amzn.com/B00JA7HNZO
I do not know how many of us have this problem, but I think many: when the phone charges using the original charger or when plugged into the USB port of a computer the screen will become very unresponsive, it will happen on JB, ICS and I think on GB too. I have had this problem for a long time now but I never figured out what was going on, like other people I thought it was a software bug or something, anyway the problem is extremely annoying.
The bad news is that the problem has no easy fix, it's not a software glitch, it's not a problem that can be fixed with another ROM or something, it's a hardware problem, a design flaw, Sony is to blame, they probably know about it, but didn't even try to fix it.
The good news is, is that the problem can be fixed by using another charger, but not any charger! You will need an 1 AMP charger and all will be fine. The problem is the intensity of the current that is used to charge the phone, you would think that a high intensity would be bad, but in this case it's good, strangely the screen behaves correctly at 1 AMP, but does not at 850mA (original charger) or 500mA(USB port).
Cool!!
Cool, man! You've really awesome!!
Thanks for the hint! Sorry, but I can't thank you today(limited to 8 thanks per day)
thanks for sharing this information bro.... already clicked the thanks button...
Hi,
few months ago we were on a holiday and my mom took her Lumia 920 as a camera. All was going well, but one day when she opened the app, the screen was dark. After closing and reopening it was super overexposed, almost white. After next restart it was dark again.
She got scared and tried to restart the phone, but after shutting down the phone didn't turn back on. We left it on a charger for quite a long time but it didn't take the charge. I didn't think much about it since the battery was almost dead anyway, kept it's charge only for a half of a day, so I ordered a new one with SIM card contacts that got stripped in an accident.
Today I changed the SIM contacts, everything seemed nice, replaced the battery with new one (old one has exactly 0V, which is a little bit alarming), assembled the phone and nothing. Won't turn on, and on USB charger with ampermeter it shows 0A drainage, so it doesn't charge at all.
What can I do to revive it? My mom loves it as a camera since it is small and has really great optics. Even if it won't come back, how can I restore the data that was inside? It has about 50 GB of photos so it would really suck to lose it.
Thanks for any ideas
Hi,
did you already reset by pressing on/off and vol-lower together for at least 20 seconds? You can do that also while trying to charge. It worked fine for my 920.
Best regards,
Joachim
Hi,
yes, I indees tried this method with no such luck.
Thank you for your reply though.

Hi there,
I know this is an old thread but I had a similar issue and it turned out that the cable going from the USB port to the motherboard was torn.
You can buy a replacement for just a few monies and fit it very easily if you still have the phone.
I hope this helps someone
