Hey guys, need URGENT HELP on charging! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, recently bought an Onda V811 Quad Core android tablet (a Chinese tablet).
2-3 days ago i could charge through USB cable plugged into a laptop and a AC adapter to charge on the wall.
But the next day i couldn't charge, i tried plugging the USB in the laptop and the wall charger and it still didn't charge.
My tablet still has 11% of battery left, My tablet works fine, everything works fine smooth and brilliant, it's just the fact that i cannot charge through my USB cable anymore. idk why =(.
I could turn it on and everything is functional, except battery charging.
I also tried hard reset and factory reseting, that didn't work either.
is anyone here at XDA an expert at tablet repairs/fixing? that can help me?
That would be much appreciated. Thank you

1) Try a new microusb cable
2) Try another USB port from laptop
3) Reboot the tablet, and if the problem still there, try at least, off-mode charging
Well, finally , if you does not resolve the problem, seems that you have an hardware ,,error,, (short..), so go to a service.

Well, i have just tried everything you listed, doesn't work, i guess its either the battery is dead or the port has something wrong or wires wrong.
B ut then again, if the battery is dead, how come i can still use my tablet with its 10% now left?

Well i do know that it isn't the chargers fault, since i am using a charger from Xperia SP phone, it chargers perfectly on my phone, but when i plug it into the tablet, it doesn't charge. And i also tried using the normal tablet charger, but still no use. Can't charge at all :'(

FINAL SOLUTION (Before service)

Now i understeand that the problem it`s coming from the tablet, more exacty from the charger microusb port.
Solution: Buy an universal battery charger from an elecetonics store, and everything would be ok.
Something like that:

Here you go: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...um-battery-3-7v-4500mah/315565_898803195.html
But it seems like will be hard for instalation, because it have wires with it. So i think it will replaced on tablet`s hardware.
If you does not know what are you do, call an Onda Service. Helped you?
P.S. : This product does not exist on ebay store.

Well, you just put the battery in, then connect it to a wall socket, and wait until an LED flashes.
BUT this solution won`t work for you because, it seems that your battery it`s integrated in tablet`s hardware.

No sense in wasting any money. The usb port on the tab is probably bad,or the voltage regulation part. I will assume the port is the same for both USB and Wall Charge? If so, there's a hardware malfunction on the tablet.
If you can not return it for an exchange or the warranty is expired, then you could possibly open the tablet and look for any type of loose connection near the USB port.
Does the PC still recognize it when you plug in the USB?

The PC doesn't recognize it at all, and the port is used for both the USB and Wall Charge.
So you assume that it is hardware malfunction, so would it be the ports fault or the battery with the wires connected to the motherboard's fault?

Could be either. The port itself is bad, or a connection to the port. Without opening it up, you wouldn't know. Either way, if its under warranty, I would return it,

Oh i opened it up before and checked, but i didn't unscrew the motherboard since the ports were upside down, so i couldn't check whether the port or the battery was wrong.

Can i use a regular mini USB to update my G!?

Hi I lost my G1 cable and I wanted to know if I could use a regular mini USB to update my G1 without having issues?
Yes, you can.
Make sure the miniusb cable you are using has a ferrite core/bead on it. Some folks with poorly shielded computer innards have experienced data corruption on cables without ferrites. If your miniusb cable doesn't have one, look around the house for a computer cable with a core that you can remove.

You can remove those things? I thought they were attached to the wire. I've just been using random junky usb cables with no beads on 'em and I haven't had any problems. I just checked the cord that came with the G1 and that doesn't even have a bead on it.
yeah hes saying, some people, so more often than not you dont need one, its for people who like to be extra safe especially if they end up bricking the device from corrupted data.
one thing that i have heard is that adb will not work if you are using a regular cable, there are a few extra wires and connectors in the usb cable for the G1, it is also a different shape than that of a regular mini usb connector. but for daily use, or just moviing files you shouldn't have any problems
Err, I have several mini USB's, I usually randomly grab one when I work with my G1, I have never had a problem with using ABD or any other type of problem. Also, I'm 99% positive the stock USB cable is no different then any other cable.

and i am 100% positive it is different from 99% of other mini USB cables. look at the input for the cable on your g1 and compare it to the mini USB port on anything else you have laying around your house and you will notice there is a difference

Yes, The input is strange, The HTC Shadow is the exact same way. Do realize, the stock USB's "Head", the metal pin, is not the perfect match for the slot on the Dream, it's a basic mini USB. Although, The included stock headphone/ear piece's connector, does in fact fit the input in the exact manor.
I think it's just the "head shape" that is different. I hvn't had any problems with other USBs.
Yes, currently I am using a Blackberry USB cable, and ADB and all functions work properly. In the past, I've used the original G1 cable, one for a Canon digital camera and one for an HTC Vogue, ADB works for all of them. Most of all, USB stands for Universal Serial Bus.. so I assume they are all the same.

It's an ExtUSB port, which is a HTC variant of the mini usb plug that has additional pins for audio. However the usb data lines are physically and electrically identical to standard usb, so for all intents and purposes unless you are using a special ExtUSB headset, it is plain mini usb. The supplied cable is a standard mini usb, so any other mini usb cable will work. Do heed my earlier warning to use a cable with a ferrite though.
I have about 30 different mini usb cables sitting around the house and i have probably used all of them once to or twice well doing playing with my HTC devices
Actually, that ferrite theory might explain things for me... I am experiencing some strange behavior when I use cables without the ferrite bead - the G1 will act as it's charging, but I don't get the "mount" option, i.e. it doesn't detect that it's actually connected to my computer. This happens both when directly connected to the computer USB port, and via a USB hub. I'm pretty sure that when I use a cable with the ferrite bead it also detects the computer and I'm able to data mount it.
Also, when using a cable without the bead, I have noticed that although the G1 says it's charging, it either doesn't or it charges really, really slowly, cause I could check by pressing power or menu once that it says charging - 76%, then turn off the display, then check again like half an hour later and it's still at 76%.
So I would actually say yes: the USB cable matters big time.
But of course, this is all based on my personal experience.

i plugged up an old desktop to retrieve some stuff the other day and realized that it didn't have usb2.0 and would not let the phone stay mounted. so just a caution if thats an issue.

strange, that's a similar thing that happens when not using enough voltage (the battery issue). I have a homemade battery powered usb charger, but it's only 4.5v as opposed to 5v. This causes strange issues with my g1 and my girlfriends. do you have lots of things drawing power (LED lights, lit up SATA cables, tons of usb stuff etc) because that can cause instability with your computer and sometimes undervolting usb things.
Ferrite beads more have to do with interference which doesnt seem like issue. Although i'd certainly use a cable with a ferrite bead when flashing or issuing commands via adb, flashboot etc.

I use that and no problem occurred.HTC cable have 2 side for connection and send or receive or power supply,but usb 2 mini have one side only.
can I use this cable without problem and damaging device?
Yes -- I've been doing that for years.
If the plug end physically fits, it will work fine. I've tried a couple mini USB cables that didn't fit, due to the way the HTC Ext-USB port is shaped straight on one side, like you mentioned.
CORRECTION: I think I just wasn't pushing the connector in hard enough. I have a couple mini-USB cables that came with various devices (a multi-card reader and a digital camera), and they take a little more effort to push the connector into the port on the phone. I didn't realize this at first, since I was afraid to damage the pins in the port. But they fit fine (just take a bit more effort than the OEM cable), and both transmit data and charge the phone properly.
I connect usb2 Cable and trasnfered data successfully.
but when I try to charge with usb 2 cable,device dont charge and only charge led be turn on.any body charge with usb cable?
Charging via USB is at a much lower rate. It can take 3-5 times longer to charge the phone that way.
I've only ever used the USB2 to transfer data/charge my phone since I had my Wing which was a good 3-4 years ago lol.
Hello everybody,
i have tried to use the mini usb with my TP2 and only works for charging.
when conect it to pc, it just start to charging, i have installed active sync but pc doest detect device,
Any advice?

Go to Settings>System>Power, and make sure the option is unchecked: "When phone is on, do not charge when connected to PC".
Ok, tank you redpoint73, i have unchecked this option.
i just ordered the original data cable, which is supposed to have 11 pins,
I dont see how a standard mini usb with 4 pins can do the job of the 11 pins
Any USB-mini cable should work for data transfer and charging. There should have been one included with your phone, and it should have come with a wall charger as well.
There are retractable cables you can use. I purchased several from here:
http://www.itrimming.com/pcabusbx0007.html
They are a little delicate though. If you're rough with it, the end of the cable closest to the plug will fray. The site also has some great universal USB car chargers.

If you had to install Active Sync I assume your on Windows XP. Make sure you have installed the htc drivers.

It doesn't do the same job, the extra pins are for composite video output, left, right and ground for audio, microphone, and possibly FM antenna. Four pins of the standard USB cable are all that is required for data transfer, even though it (USB) has five pins on the phone end.
You may have, as I did a failed USB interface. Check the phone on another computer to be sure it is not an issue with the computer and/or its software. All you have to do is verify the computer senses the phone, you don't need to sync them.
Two quick things...
I have one USB cable for a card reader that does not work for WMDC/disk mode, but charges the phone just fine. It works with the card reader OK, but no data on the phone basically. If you have problems with one cable, unless it is known to work on other WinMo/HTC devices, I'd definitely not always assume the phone is at fault until you've tried a different lead.
I've heard a lot of people say that charging via USB is a lot slower than via an AC mains charger. However, using SpoonCharge, the mA figures look the same for me on my phone - charging via mains charger never goes above "medium". This holds true with the original AC charger my UK (new, sealed and boxed) TP2 came with, as well as a TyTn II, Hurricane and Typhoon charger, and a non-HTC MP4 player charger - nothing goes above medium.

I have measured the current used to charge.
There are a few things.
1) Most PC USB ports are limited to 500ma., that is the standard. Try to pull more, and they usually do an auto shutdown or some form of limiting.
2) Any plain USB cable, or the factory HTC cable when on a PC port, leaves a charge rate pin floating. With that pin floating, the HTC device charges at a max of 500ma. Again, this is by design to not overload the PC port.
3) The factory charger, pulls one of the extra USB pins down. That tells the device that it can charge at up to 1000ma., twice as fast.
4) So, if you plug into an official charger versus a USB port, the charge rate is about double. BUT, you need to factor in the processor activity. If the PC USB is keeping the phone active, then the charge will take even longer.
I use my HTC on my motorcycle as a GPS. I have built a charger on the motorcycle and have used a switch in that 'fast charge' control line to lower the charge rate, or raise the charge rate. (long story, the phone and my regulator gets hot).
I have a pinout somewhere. A Google serach will find it.

Eee Pad USB Cable

I tried to find a spare USB cable for the Eee Pad and no luck. It makes me nervous to have a proprietary format cable without a spare.
Considering how difficult is to the get an Eee Pad, I wonder how to get the cable...
Thanks!

You are right. Things always how up once the supply gets going... I wish they did not have a proprietary cable. I understand why they did it but...
I'm a little disappointed they didn't just use MicroUSB.... then and again, I don't think any of the tablets on the market currently do?

An OEM that releases a device that uses a proprietary cable to supply the device with power IMHO has a responsibility to see to it that customers can readily purchase replacement cables. People do lose/break things and without a way to charge the TF it's an expensive paper weight. I hope Asus is listening & will rectify this situation quickly, I'd love to purchase a backup cable.
I would like to have another one so I can have one at home and one at work. I forgot the cable at home today and now can't connect it to my computer here at work.

Problem with the galaxy tab is it uses a connector that is very similar to Apples connector except that the pin backplane is reversed, which wouldn't be hard to change for manufacturers of non-licensed Apple connectors
http://fatmixx.com/tag/pdmi/
While Asus's cable connector is probably made in house and proprietary
so who knows how long it will take for others to make knockoffs of the connectors
It would have been nice if Asus included a micousb connector on the transformer at least for charging and data sync
I created a folder on my Windows PC desktop and 'shared' it, then in ES Lan added a new server using the IP address of my PC.

Definitely hoping they'll release the official cables soon or allow 3rd party to make them. Kinda sucks when my cable broke and no other ways to charge the darn thing.
Really having a hard time only having one cable, and especially since it is a cheap feeling one to start with

somewhat insane to not have even power cords available at launch. Shame on your asus.

Thats what i thought too, but i need to charge it in my car, and it wont charge with any of my cigarette lighter USB chargers because it uses the damn special charger from Asus
Either i wait for a car charger or just buy another charging pack and hook it up to a power inverter in my car
I really wish they would have just used a standard USB connector instead of a USB 3.0 one

[GSM/CDMA] How to flash via RSD when you read "Cannot program" or "Battery LOW"

[GSM/CDMA] How to flash via RSD when you read "Cannot program" or "Battery LOW"
Welcome to Eternity Project!
What are these things?
The Motorola FactoryCable is simply skipping the battery and making your phone to take the necessary current for powering it up from your PC's USB.
Note that it won't charge your battery. It will SKIP IT.
On a device with removable battery, if you remove the batt, it will still powerup with that cable.
Why should I have one?
- "Cannot program" or " Battery Low" when you try to flash via RSD. The Factory Cable eliminates this problem.
- The device won't powerup or charge: if it works with a Factory Cable, then it's a battery problem. If not, your device is a paperweight.
- If anyone finds other uses for it, I'll write 'em here
-----Factory Cable:-----
You need:
1. An USB cable to break, or an USB to MicroUSB adapter (~2$) to break.
2. A brain
3. Soldering iron (if you don't find another method for fixing the cable.....)
4. A brain.
5. Pieces of rigid copper or aluminium (copper preferred)

Guide for a 3-in-1 cable:
1. Solder rigid copper wires on PIN 1, 4 and 5.
2. Drill 3 holes in your USB to MicroUSB adapter for making the rigid wires to pass through.
3. Connect PIN4 to PIN1 (externally ) for FACTORY CABLE or PIN4 to PIN5 for OTG CABLE (for USB HUBs and USBHost functionalities). Don't connect anything for normal USB cable for USBSync/ADB etc.
Enjoy!

this maybe is a goos solution
pic fore more help
You can anyway use the Factory Cable even if your battery is in your phone.
You don't need to remove it for using the factory cable.
I'm sure this works, But:
Just fully charge it, there's a reason you're not allowed to update when running on empty, you may brick it, and without firmware you can't charge the battery.
i get the point that a little DIY is always adventurous and fun but whats the big deal to charge the device before flashing a rom?
This is for a phone that can't boot the kernel for charging the battery.
You saved me
Uhhhhh,
i used Your scheme and everything is correct,
i just programmed the phone while battery was low and bricked it, but with your cable averything was fine..................you saved my phone...
thanks
I remember doing this for my Defy and actually fried the Battery after doing it for more than 4-5mins.
I dont know if this setup is an improvment over that but I think one needs to be careful. Before, we ended up with a hot over charged battery and had to buy a new one. Later we got hold of an external battery charger (that was a removable battery of course).
I hope some accessory like that exists on eBay for us to just order it incase phone goes dead. We might be able to just open screws, pop out the battery and put it into a charger

@chaihg
I've used it with my ATRIX and never experienced something like that.
Perhaps, your cable was bad and shortcircuited something else or your battery was already bad ... or the DEFY simply reacts different.
But anyway the battery circuits are stopping the charging process when it is fully charged, so probably your battery was bad.
EDIT : THANKS
You save the life of my phone !!!!
BUT :
How can I charge the phone now ?
The phone boot very well in android, but battery bar stay red
If I plug in a normal usb cable, it was a White front LED, but the phone don't want to boot
If I boot with Volume UP +Down + Power, the dot disapear 5 sec and come back again
EDIT :
I found a way : I use the Car charger for charge it, with this way, it charging
But, can't charge now in normal Usb.... with the computer, in Charging only mod, or in Storage mod, he don't wan't to charge....
.... after 5 reboots, work's again oO
I don(t understand, but it work's
ok. I really have never solder'd anything in my life, and dont have any friends that know how to do it as well.. Is there anyone willing to do it and send one my way, ill pay of course. please help a fellow friend in need.. Im stuck.
or factory cable : http://shop.teamblackhat.info/
would love to. but out of stock.
Heh, if you were in Italy I could have made one for you.. but shipping costs would be too high for a $3 cable..
doh. yeah that would probably cost a bit. thanks though

I'm in the same situation. I'd buy one from someone.
Thanks kholk, after many tries now the factory cable is working for me xD
But it's look so ugly lol
My XT910S is dead anyway, no korean sbf file to rescue it
Just to let some people, sometimes even if you have a full battery that doesn't mean anything. It helps to ensure the flash goes well yes. Even with a full battery its possible that you flash and for what ever reasons the phone reports "Low Battery" even knowing it had a full charge. This was my case tonight, sense I was sure where I placed my original OEM Motorola cable. I decided to make one. Lol i was about to post a thread my self already seen this one though. Here is some pics of what my home made one looked like.
By the way the only cable I had spare of was a Samsung Micro, lol i must say they really in cased this puppy in a shield and bunch of rubber.

Samsung galaxy s6 edge charging port problem

Hello..
I have Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge that is almost 2 yrs old. I have come across a point where my device refuse to connect to any USB device vta OTG cable or recognise PC. It also charges extremly slow (roughly takes 8 hrs to charge completely).
I have tried all the tricks that i can find on the internet and even got my battery replaced but nothing happned and it is still the same. Now this has turn me into huge problem. I suspect the charging port have some issues with it. If not then what could be the cause of the problem ?
Please help me out of this disaster
Thank you

I have the same problem.Changing the charging port wont help you.I changed charging port witg generic one(not OEM) and then I changed again with OEM one but still not working.I took some measurments on the charging port flex assembly and all 3(original from the phone,generic board and OEM board) measure the same uninterupted connections and voltages.I had succes(sort of)...i took the original flex out of the phone,cleaned it with IPA alcohol and shoved small screwdriver inside the port and lifted up little tab with contacts...it looks like mess and then i connected some **** allowmost broken cable inside and it was charging fast...but still it would say Cable charging instead of Fast charging and it would charge in about 2h from 0-100%.Over time the port fell apart and now I am back on slow charging and even the batery life is worse now.When connected to PC it says Unknown USB.I'll keep you updated if I find the solution...so visit this thread occasionally.Sorry for my English...its not the best.

EDIT:
I found solution in clangms. its a Spanish forum, So basically if your having same problem u need to check 2 diodes that u can see in this image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your the ones that changed usb port too, and keep getting same error when conecting to pc, this is the solution, check continuous in the diode, if one of them has continuously with grownd, change it, or in the fact only remove it, u are going to gain again, fast charge and USB recognition in the PC and Odin..
sorry my english, here is the original thread..
https://www.clangsm.com/forum/index.php?&showtopic=439670
Thanks for clangsm for the solution..
use a wireless charging pad .. 0 to 100 in 2,5 hours ..
