I got a used wizard today,it is a few weeks old I also got a cradle with it.
I pluged in the cradle to the USB port and the charger to power, after playing with it for 1-2 hours I placed the wizard on the cradle to charge and after a few mins i noticed that it was over heating. I removed it from the cradle right away and noticed that the battery was droping 1% every minute or so. After it was down to 27% i removed the charger and left only the usb connection and placed the wizard on the cradle again. it was charging fine, when it was up to 90% removed it from the cradle and again was droping fast.
When it was down to around 25-30% of the battery I did a soft reset and since then I can never get it to start again also the red charging light does not show.
What the heck is wrong with it? I also get a light burning smell from the bottom of the wizard where the connector is located.
Any help?
I need your lights guys.
Don't like the sound of the light burning smell, that sounds like an electrical fault. It looks like your battery has died and the wizard battery setup is well known to do this. You need to plug it into the official mains charger (not the usb one) as this has an output of 1A, enough to kick start the wizard battery into life and start the charging. You need to wait a short while though before the light comes on. If this fails try to get a new battery and try that. Any more light burning smells and it needs to go back to the supplier.
I would suggest that you send it back to replace/repair. The rapid dropping of the battery power suggest that it is using power somewhere (illegally). I've heard cases of battery caught on fire, etc. and I won't suggest you to use it anymore until you sort out the 'burning' smell.
First of all thanks for your replys.
I pluged the charger on it and the red charging light came on after a while.
charged for over 6 hours and its still red? I think after been charged should change to green? right?
anyways after all that still doesnt want to turn on. I got it to start a couple of times but only to the point that shows the splash screen with the rom numbers and then it turns back off.
Should I give it a smash across the room on the wall? done that with some other things and worked just kiding.
Forgot to add that up to the point when i did the soft reset the device was working fine except the charge drop. Soft reset was done while it was working ( turned on)..... if thats any help.

That ain't gonna do jack sh1t to it. If it can't start to get into bootloader, it can't flash....and it's not a flash issue.
Usually the red light means power but not charging - happens to my qtek 9100 when I let it get too flat and I have to remove and insert the battery while the mains adaptor is attached - others have to 'jump start' the battery by directly connecting to a PSU - I wouldn't do this with yours.
From what you have said it sounds like a short somewhere. Any signs of water damage? Warranty? What Wizard do you have and what country are you in?

I got the wiza 200 O2 xda mini S from a guy in UK from ebay. The idiot sold me a cradle for it with an adaptor that says 12V on it (Like an idiot that I am i just noticed that) but then again how am I supposed to think that he gave me an adaptor that its not made for it when it says on the back of it "for Imate - Kjam". Do you guys think thats what burned the **** out of the unit ?
dont forget that some times turns on shows the ROMS numbers and turns off.
No water damage... I think its on warranty... I live in Greece.
Might not be the cradle - it could be it steps down internally to 5v. Use a meter and check what it outputs to the phone. Warranty with XDA's are 2 years to the *original* purchaser. As they are only supplied with an airtime agreement then that isn't you.
Richard
have you tried changing batteries to a new one? Seriously, thats the easiest thing you could do right now and you could actually get results.
Ok this is what I did.
Removed the baterry from the device,
got a 12V 1 Amp power supply that I had lying around and give it a few shots connecting it to the battery giving it an electro shock.
(If you're going to try this be very carefull.<<<< DONT LEAVE the power supply connected to the battery>>>> just give it a few shots 1 second on and off.
That was it.
It started working, device turned on and now its charging (I think) yellow light is on.
I'm going to leave it on for a few hours and see what happens.
Wish me good luck. I'll let you know soon.
ok... this is what happend.
Battery is drained and its not charging due to a blown fust on the main board.
I open the phone and placed and solder a little wire over the fuse.
Still does not charge. ^%$#%$#$^%$*
Before I replaced the fuse or should i say short it the yellow light would come on for a few min and then red again. Now when I charge the battery with another external power supply the pda comes on for a few mins and then dies again. ( no charging light whatsoever).
Does anyone know where to get a mainboard for it and about how much it costs?
Asking for help again.

Hey man, sorry to hear about that.
The best you can do is to claim your money from ebay.
You probably killed it when you pluged in the 12V PSU. That's 230% of the normal Volts! Otherwise sell it for parts.
I'm in the process of claiming the money back from the IDIOT that sold it to me.
Lets see if that part of Ebay works as good.

Doubt it. Did you ask the seller for help before opening the phone and voiding the original warranty on the device?

Not a good idea IMO as now the blame is on you as previously he may have been able to get warranty service from the original vendor.
Richard
I did ask.
He is not the original buyer.
what was I suposed to do.... track back 2-3 buyers to find the original... send it to him so he can have it repaired? Anyway it was out of warranty because of the burned fuse that says that some other charger was used with it.
I had a similar thing happen but fortunately not as bad as yours. Twice now my battery has mysteriously drained completely. The last time when I tried to turn the unit on, it flashed the boot screen for a couple of seconds then poof, no more juice. When I plugged it into the USB port, nothing, no lights, no charge, no recognition from Activesync, I thought the unit was fried. I use Tmobile and got to admit they did send me a replacement fairly quickly. Before I packed up my unit I thought maybe I should plug it in using the wall charger and presto, it came on and is working fine. I have no idea what causes this but do know that if the battery is completely discharged the USB port can not over come this to put a charge on.
Same thing happened to me, kind of strange though. The charge was perhaps 70% to the best of my knowledge. I flashed it with Mr. Clean ROM and booted it up.. it came in fine into WM5, then it started the installation of the 3 progs or whatever comes with Mr. Clean.. after the second finished the unit just died *poff*. Screen blank, no responce to power buttons or any other buttons for that matter.
I've tried taking out the battery for different intervals of time, no luck. I've tried using the AC charger, no luck. No lights, sounds, telepathy or matrix ****.. it just lies there like a dummy phone.. hmm what to do. Bought it from a guy in UK (im in sweden) on eBay, don't think I will have much luck there.. even though it's brand new...
Any thouhgts?
I have had this problem - I bought a replacement battery and all is now fine. Another thread in this group states that the battery cannot charge without the OS up - so if the battery is completely discharged then it is impossible to charge through the phone. The only solution seems to be somehow to charge the battery directly - as appears to have been done earlier in this thread.

p.s. if anyone knows of another way to do it I'd be interested to hear as I'd like to revive my old battery and keep it as a spare
My Neo all of a sudden went blank since saturday.It so happened..
I wanted to make a call, I removed my NEO from POCKET and It just showed the GREEN LED BLINKKING the POWER button dint responded at all..
I had to reset the NEO and now its not showing any thing
Does not respond to the wall charger nor any LED only thing happen is the phone gets heated on Charging(as usual as it did earlier)
Does any one know the trick of stripping the wall charger and than short the pins ...
Which is the 1st Pin from bottom or from top..
Or ANY OTHER ADVICE PLS HELP ME!!
Where could be the problem as this problem had occured earlier also i remember it was 07/07/07 and I was in office and same the neo went BLANK.

Hope my NEO is back to life soon !!
Is it really nothing to worry about or shall I start looking for a new phone

I had kept it to charge for the entire night yesterday,thatz around 7~6hrs
the LED does not turn GREEN at all..
I will try to remove the BATT for whole night today..
Any other trick meanwhile,
Also does any one know why does this happen firstly.
Is it because the processor just goes to DEEP SLEEP below 50MHz or there is a problem with IPL or some other stuipid thing
Mine is a G4.and had last installed the PDAViet Touch Flo v5
Any one els who can advice me on this.
Any one had the same error earlier!!
Well you might as well try with other battery. If the old one is not charging it might be dead... Have you tried measuring it?

I just dont understand what is the problem has any one els faced such a problem
Rip-prophet??
I just had a word with a service guy where I had given it for repairs!!
He informed me the problem has got notihng to do with the software aspect.
He confirmed its a hardware [email protected]@
Can any one recommed me where can I get the phone repaired in India>>Mumbai..
I Think I will buy a CHEAP nokia now as I dont have enough money to spend again on a expensive phone like this one!!
I feel that the processor has gone in a deep sleep any ways to retrive it to 195Mhz...
Or is it the problem with the IPL/SPL
pls HELP and pray for My PROPHET for its LONG LIFE
Its been almost 15days now and still my neo is not working..
The repaires guy told me that may be something is gone wrong mainly because I had dropped the phone from my hand some 5~10days back before it went DEAD.
Can u guys tell me how manny of u have LOST their PDA phone s after it failed to repair..with the reason for the failure like short circuit or just like mine!!
Can any one help me with the service manual for prophet
I dont know how true is this ...
What if i m not able to get it repaired at all here in Mumbai>>INDIA..
Any one can help me with the board of neo or some solution in repairs..
I feel that the PDA manufacturers must atleast make the phones RIGID or shock proof just like nokia..so it can take some jerk!!and we dont have to LOOSE our valuable phones..
I m afraid but I dont think I shall ever buy a PDA phone again...mainly because its too much expensive for their limited LIFE SPAN just like in my case..
Hey Mate,
When I first got my prophet, it did the same thing, no lights, nothing. I had the battery replaced with an NON-OFFICIAL prophet battery (i.e, A cheap unbranded one), and it went - it's running perfectly now too with WM6

I recently purchased a MDA off of ebay. I was used but when i recived it it was in good cosmetic condition. I turned the phone on and used it for a short while, then the battery was low so i put it on a charger and left it for a while.
I come back and it is dead. I get another battery and use it for a short while and try charging it but not luck. I also noticed, when the phone was actually on, was that I couldn't hear people when they called me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am feeling kinda sick about using ebay now
Thanks
Leon
My suggestion wud be to return it back and ask for refund or replacement,it's a faulty phone.
Cheers!
I had the same problem using Motorolla charging! I only changed battery and charge now only using USB
I was on my friends account for the first post, but i tried using a USB cable but it was on the first battery. Ill try that when i get out of class. I contacted the seller and she seemed to have a good attutide about settleing this problem and asked me what i wanted to do.
Im going to run by a t mobile store and talk to them and see if there is anything they can do.
Hello
I have a problem with my HD. For some reason i don't know i cannot charge it while the phone its still on.The only way i can charge it its when i switch it off.i tried changing the rom to wm 6.5 and 6.1 again but nothing.
if someone knows please help me.
thank you
I have the same problem. very weird.
Have you tried to reset the phone (shut down and power up again) while it's still plugged to the loader?
That helped with my old phone but i'm not sure if it helps in this case.
greetz

Is that using the charger or from the PC?
If it's the latter, ensure that Settings/System/Power option "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" is deselected.
You are a lifesaver!
This shoould REALLY be a F.A.Q.
I would also like a word with whoever came up with the function. When would you ever want your NOT to charge your mobile?

Still no charging
I too am having problem with no charing. I have had this problem twice now.
First time (as phone is not under warranty in Australia) I took it to local repair who said they couldn't fix it... long story short it went back to china, came back fixed... or so I thought.
It did the exact same thing, battery died in few hours, then when on charge it would sometimes show steady orange LED on power button for 5-10 seconds then go off and never charge, or two it would blink orange and green for some time and not charge. Now it wont turn on and is only showing orange light for 5-10 seconds.
Also, I read around and found that there is different miniUSB cables, some don't charge and some do, would like the great knowledge of this forum to fill me in on this rumor.
Really weird
It is really weird. I had the same problem. If I put the phone on charge either with charger or with USB cable on PC the charge light blink on orange and green and the phone not charge the battery.And this happens for 2 days. I went on another computer I plug the phone in the USB and curiously it begin to charge (orange light) and fully charged the battery. It also charge on mains. It is really weird I am still investigating this.....

Hello, I have the same problem, I tried different usb cables and diferente chargers, I olso tried to charge with the PC and nothing. I starts by showing a orange light them goes to a blinking orange and green, and don't charge.
I found this page http://www.htcrepairparts.com but I don't know what is the problem of the phone, só I don't know what part I have to buy.
If is the motherboard I think that is too expensive and is better to buy a new phone.
Please help me.
I bought a charger from a web site for my Htc HD2 and I can olso charge the battery of my Htc Touch HD, now I can sync with pc but it still won't charge.
Mybe it's a problem with the rom.
The OS is 5.2.29022 (29022.5.3.12)
The Manila is 2.5.20212114.0
The rom is 04.jul.2011 wwe
The rom date 11/20/09
The radio is 1.13.25.24
The protocol is 52.62.25.34u
Some times shows an error saying that is missing a file.
If some one have an answare please tell me.
At this moment the only problem is that I have to remove the battery of the phone to charge it up.
The battery and the phone are OK, but won't charge.
then charger problem. You probably cant charge a HD with a HD2 charger...

It's not a charger problem, because on de pc won't charge either.
And yes we can charge the hd with the hd2 charger and the oposit way too.
The only diferent thing is the cable, the charger is the same.
I thing that is a problem of the rom.
The error is showed when I power on the phone, and it's .net compact framework error.
I changed the wm 6.1 to a wm6.5 cookey rom.
The BsB tweeks olso reports an error, missing files.
Should I change the rom?
look, if you cant charge, you rather find a solution quick, or you kill the battery and then need to buy a new one to use the phone. but did you try another cable? keep changing ROMs till one works...

I think you didn't read my posts or you didn't understand it, because I said that I bought a new charger for the HTC HD2, it's a universal charger and I have to take the battery of the phone to charge it.
I maneged to charge the batery of the HTC Touch HD with the same charger, the only problem is that I must take the battery of the phone to charge it.
The problem with the HTC touch HD is that when I put it to charge plugged to the pc or to the electrical supply he won't charge, the led starts orange and then goes to a blinking orange and green, and don't charge.
Now do you think it could be a rom problem?
oh sorry for that, my fault but how do you charge the battery without the phone, do you have a dock or anything? Cause Im not really understanding...

I have a docking station for HTC HD2, now I bought a new charger, this is the web site of the charger http://www.yiboyuan.net/products.aspx
And this are the images of the charger with the two baterrys.
MY phone died the other night and wouldn't charge. It blinks red when plugged in and will blink numerous times when you press power. Sometime when its plugged in and i press power it will only blink red once.
Its rooted with 024. Im screwed eh?
Also im with Rogers in Canada
I vaguely remember having this sort of problem before.
What was happening was the cable wasn't working properly for some reason, and my phone wasn't drawing enough power to charge. Therefore it not working, and the red flashing light. It wasn't actually charging.
Is it plugged in to charge via AC or USB? It might not be drawing enough power if it is charging through USB.
If it is charging though AC, have you left it to charge overnight? If a Li-ion battery enters a state of deep discharge, it may take a while for it to charge enough for the phone to be able to power on. This shouldn't be the case though, the battery should have failsafes to prevent this from happening.
If neither of these things do anything, I'd try either swapping the wall adaptor and/or the usb cable or the phone battery itself, and if those things work, you're out of luck.
Hope that helps.
Have tried two wall chargers different outlet and my two pcs. left it overnight twice. Im screwed lol

Tell Rogers that one of their Sales Reps burnt the phone while trying to show you how to charge it
Im going to take it back to walmart it is only 3 week old
I had the same issue with mine... it completely died out and would not start charging. Found it weird the phone couldn't be charged while being powered off (my old KRZR could do it)....
Anyway, I called up Rogers and told them the situation and they exchanged it with a new one. I don't let the phone go below 5% now in fear of it not being able to charge if it the battery is completely drained XD
was your phone rooted?
No... it was on the original firmware and all...
For some reason I forgot you rooted it when you replied. Rogers might not want to exchange it... Wal-Mart on the other hand will probably not even look at it and just exchange it.
Other option could be to buy a new battery?
it actually looks as if the usb port itself is chipped.
ok, i had the same problem with my old SE phones.
everytime i tried to charge it, it did not charge. other phones were charging thru same cable.
the problem in the OS.
what i did is upgraded thru SEUS.
try to plug it to PC thru USB cable without battery. then go thru procedure as u would go for upgrade and then put the battery back.
it might not work if your battery complitely dead, thought worth a try
Yea, cant connect to seus
your batter yshould be fine. it's just dead.
dont buy any battery just yet. i would replace the phone if i were u. without spending extra bucks.
this is the quickets solution i can think of.
however, for the future reference i will buy me extra battery just in case
good luck
Just had it turn on and it said less than 2% remaining connect to charger. It was connected. This happened before and it just shuts off.
yeah mine would open from time to time but instantly shut down also. Seems like it didn't have enough time to detect it was plugged in...
try returning it
This may sound weird but it worked for me. Try taking out the memory card and leave it out and plugging it in.
Yea. I tried every combination. Brought it to walmart qndvthey gave me a new one. 30 day replacment woo. Im nervous to root now
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
same problem... no solution ?
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I found this topic is describing the same problem I have. I bought an x10 mini pro (U20a) unlocked and it doesnt turn on with my service provider SIM, but if I try another service provider SIM card or without SIM card, it turns on normally. It's the same behavior, cause it wont charge either. Other users are reporting the same problem in SE support forums and it is related to X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro. It seems to be related to software since a factory reset or a repair using PC Companion solves the problem partially, but for some users the problem starts again when their batteries dries out and want to charge their phones. In case anyone find a solution that really works, please post it here.
Sent from my Motorola Milestone using XDA App
I'm disappointed because I have the exact same problem, but I'm outside of AT&T's 30-day return period (and they're being typical idiots about the issue). They have no replacement batteries (of course) so I've had to request one directly from SonyEricsson, which will take 5 business days to deliver. (!) Hopefully, this will resolve the issue; however, before you returned your phone to Walmart, I noticed that you thought you had a problem with a chipped mini-USB port. Do you know if that was part of the problem?
