Kindle not charging - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I have a kindle fire HD 7 and when I charge it it shows charging but it's not getting any percentage up! What could I do?

I've had USB<->micro cables stop working. First swap that with one you know works. Also try changing the USB power plug. If nothing fixes it, contact Amazon.

Not sure the question. Your Fire HD came with a cable and a plug. You insert USB connector into the side of the plug and then plug into the wall, right?

Anybody using HDMI out??

I bought the official HTC adaptor for this and I can't get it to work.
I plugged power into it, used a brand new HDMI cable and nothing works at all.
The first time I plugged it in, an icon came on up top saying HDMI out but nothing showed on the TV screen.
Now, when i plug it in the phone starts charging but nothing else happens at all.

There are a couple members with the MHL adapter. You might just have a faulty accessory because to my knowledge none of them have issues.
MHL adapters do not work on their own, you have to plug a micro USB cable into the side to power it.

Yep, I'm using the HTC mhl adapter and it works, but a USB cable has to be plugged from the wall to the adapter.

Here's the one I'm using.
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-mhl-adapter.html
Probably find a cheaper one out there, but this one worked for me.
Just out of curiosity, what would be the purpose/need to hook HDMI up to your phone? (And no, I am not being snarky or a d*ck, just curious as to what it's used for...)

That's the same one I have (and that's where I got it)
I have an AC power cord plugged into it and it charges the phone just fine but it only recognized the HDMI cable once and now it does nothing but charge the phone.

You can plug the phone into an HDTV and show pictures or play movies at their full resolution on the screen. This phone can probably play HD video better than my (aging) laptop can.

Not sure if you tried disconnecting all of the cables and reconnecting them, but I'd give that a shot if you haven't already. A battery pull may not hurt either. Could also be a bad adapter or phone. Saw a few similar issues in the accessories section.

Did you choose the output in whatever application you are playing the source from? In the standard sense player, for example, there is a button that says output right next to the beats logo. I have heard that the option "TV" appears there when you are connected via HDMI or wifi to a televison.
For me, as soon as I plug in the adapter to the phone an hdmi icon appears in the notification section and the display shows up on the tv.

Yea, mine did that the very first time I plugged it in but it hasn't done it since.
The adaptor has to be defective, I have read a good percentage of them do not work correctly.
~John
I'm using the cheapest one Amazon sells and it works great. I remember seeing someone else had a defective phone. You may be in the same boat. I'd try another adapter and if that doesn't work I would return the phone(exchange)

This is somewhat counter-intuitive, but the Samsung MHL adapter works extremely well. Oddly enough it works better on the Rezound than it does on the Infuse or Epic Touch 4G.
All that to say, yeah, you probably have a bad adapter.
Here's an MHL adapter people posted about using successfully in the accessories forum:

I don't know how much yours was but I know monoprice has great prices on their stuff.

I am also using the one from monoprice. It works like a champ no problems and is only $15. Highly recommend it!
Mine was getting the HDMI logo at the top but no output I was useing the USB OWM rezound wall plug that came with he phone. Well I used a better one i had here and now HDMI out works great... It just will not work with the HTC rezound wall plug power.. even works off of my PC's usb power just not the OEM one.

HDMI Adapter: Am I doing something wrong or is it broken?

I just got an HDMI Adapter for my Canadian Galaxy Tab 10.1 running ICS. Device is not rooted and is running whatever software version is pushed from Samsung. For some reason, I cannot get the adapter to work at all. I've tried different HDMI cables, different TVs and I also tried it on my friend's Rogers Galaxy Tab 10.1, all to no avail. The tablet definitely recognizes the adapter, because when I plug it in, it launches the TuneIn Radio app for some reason, and when I unplug it, all the icons and widgets redraw themselves. I also can't see anything in the settings that deal with the HDMI connection. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Although I don't have and HDMI adapter cable, I do know that power cable and plug must be used in conjunction. There should be an slot in the HDMI adapter to connect the power cable.
Click Thanks button if this helps.

Thanks! Plugging it in and restarting it did the trick.
In case anyone is contemplating a purchase of the adapter, I do not recommend it. You need to have it plugged into a power source and you need to reboot the device every time you want to use it. Also the resolution is absolutely garbage, my moto razr outputs much better quality and works simply by plugging in the cable.

Hmm , if there is a program through which to get better resolution and it seems to me that it has not yet perfected the Samsung tab ?

Hi. I have the same problems that you described. To Summarize:
· When connecting only the adapter, it just redraws the screen. After that, I connect the HDMI Cable and nothing happens.
· When connecting the charge cable or power adapter to the HDMI adapter before inserting it to the tablet, same as the first case.
· When connecting the charge cable and HDMI cable before inserting it to the tablet, same as the first case.
· When connecting the charge cable and HDMI cable and restaring the tablet after inserting it to the tablet, no signal is received by the tv.
I'm using a P5110, ¿is your model a P5113?

Charging problem!!!! (FIXED)

I am having chatting issues. This just started happening when I woke up this morning. I forget if the micro USB is supposed to click when you plug it in the phone to start to charge. When I plug my phone in, I don't get any indication that the cable is locked in. Also if I move the cable ever so slightly. The phone will stop chatging. The USB cable feels like its gonna come out if I move the phone in any way.
I don't have any spare micro USB cable so I wanted to know if you guys are think this is a hardwarw problem or possibly if just the cable is messed up. Im hoping its the latter because I am not trying to replace my phone.
Also have any of you guys had this problem? Thanks
This isn't a question and answer forum.
Could be the cable. Different cables fit in differently. I personally use my kindle fire hd cable cuz it clicks in snugly with my htc charger.

USB cable does not work for data transfers (charges ok)

Just got the Nexus 9 a couple of days ago, charged it, but when I connected it to the computer, nothing, it's not detected at all. Tried both a Mac and Windows laptop.
I tried a different cable and it works fine with that, just not with the stock HTC cable.
What's going on here? Busted cable? I assume it's not a charge only cable, that wouldn't make much sense. Could it be that the cable doesn't like the USB3 ports?
are yo on modified kernel with fast charge enabled? if so, please disable it.

No, just stock rooted. As I said, other cables work fine, but not the stock HTC cable, so it is the cable, not the tablet or the computers/drivers, etc.
ahh I'm sorry i missed that. anyway, surely it was a faulty cable.

I'm more curious if anyone else has run into something similar, incompatibilities between a cable and a USB3 port.

Just in case you haven't tried this...When connected to your computer, tap on the USB notification on your Nexus. You will then get more options, one of which is "Transfer Files".

I know. It makes no difference, the tablet simply doesn't show up. As I said above, I know how to use other cables and they work And yes, not a fan that M defaults to charging only every time and have to manually put it in MTP mode.

No luck needed, just a different 99c cable
Just to bring closure to this thread, I contacted HTC and they finally sent me a replacement charger and cable even though I only asked for the cable (not because I didn't already have a pile of USB cables around but because I was curious whether there was something wrong with the HTC cable I received with my N9 or just an incompatibility). The new cable I received works fine for both data and charging. So the cable that came in the box was bad. But to my surprise the new charger I got also works much better, it chargers faster (I have a USB dongle that I can measure the charging current with). The original charger was capable to only charge the N9 but not other devices which I found weird.
So something went really wrong with the included charger and cable. How can it be that you have both a bad charger and cable in the same box? I can see one being bad, but both? Makes me wonder what I should expect from the tablet itself ... Doesn't look like quality is top priority at HTC, no wonder the company is not doing well at all.

V30 otg problems

Recently picked up the v30 and purchased an otg cable to be able to hook my printer to my phone for work (did this on my g4 no problem). First plug shows up and when i plug it in, the phones usb status goes to "power supply" (like im trying to charge another device, not charge my v30). If i changs it to any other option, a second later it changes back to power supply. I thought this was strange as nothing was even plugged into the otg cable. Returned it and got another one of a different brand , same problem. Got a specific cord thats usb c on one end, printer plug on the other side. Same exact thing. All of these cables worked fine on my buddies Motorola, so at this point, i can only assume its the phone. I have tried plugging multiple devices to the otg cables, even getting a usb to micro usb to try my old otg cable and all had the same problem. Verizon sent a brand new phone to me thinking my cable port was bad. It did the same thing as well. If anyone else has run into this issue or has any advice, that would be much appreciated. My work printer is old and the wifi direct sucks to hook up constantly and it likes to disconnect in the middle of printing.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been having the same issues. I am trying to use the OTG adapter for my Meridian DAC. Ordered through Amazon 2 times, with different sellers claiming compatibility. But no luck.
And to concur with you, I get the identical issue where it switches momentarily to my selection, then Immediately goes to Power supply.

Regarding connecting a external DAC to the V30 I currently have that working with my V30 and my FIIO Kunlun E18. The cable used is below. I know that it's not the same thing that you are talking about because it's not exactly an OTG adapter but it works for my purposes. Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info.
Do I need to change anything in the settings?
Or is it basically plug and play?

It's plug and play but when the DAC is connected it asks you if you want to set a default app to the USB device. Be sure to select NO and just cancel out if window. I was selecting yes when I had USB pro music app installed and it prevented me from hearing anything from LG music player, YouTube,and other 3rd party apps.

I'm also facing the same issue with an otg adapter, exact same symptoms.
Is there any solution other than buying specific otg adapters like the ones listed above?
I've also noticed that my V30 is very picky when it comes to usb connection. I have an usb c flash drive, and if it moves in the slightest, the connection just drops. It also happens with some usb cables that I've tried to use to connect the phone with my pc.
