Hi,
I have a strange active sync problem on my charmer. I bought the charmer bricked, he stucked in boot screen. In bootloader mode I can establish an usb connection and can flash any new charmer firmware.
Unfortunately the Charmer does not establish an usb connection in normal mode. I have tried AKU 2.0, 3.3 in several languages without any effect and tested on 4 different pc's. The only way to make an usb connection is in bootloader mode. This ist *not* an active sync problem, because the physical usb connection does not work.
Also my charmer is not able to activate bluetooth; in any firmware and with any stack. Every time after some seconds I get a "hardware error".
Are this known problems an is there a way to fix this problems? I searched the whole forum but did not find a similar problem.
Regards
Andreas
Solution
Hi again,
for those who may get the same problem, here the solution:
1) Bluetooth
When disassembling the charmer, you will see two plugs on the mainboard: one for the display and one for the button-pad. When reassembling, the small ribbon cable from the keypad will be pressed against the frame between front and back cover. Thereby the plug will be pushed up a little bit and does not fit correct. Charmer works well, only Bluetooth will not work. Tried several times and every time the same problem.
Solution: I glued a small isolating washer on top of the plug. When assembling the frame, the metal shield in the frame presses the plug correctly into the socket.
2) USB problem
I had an USB-cable, working well with an external 2,5" HDD, but did not work with my charmer. Yesterday I got another USB cable, and USB connection worked fine. I dont't know why (with first cable) USB connection works in bootloader mode, but not in normal mode, but with the other cable the Charmer works in both modes. Seems as if there are several wirings on USB-to-mini-USB cables.
Maybe my experience will help someone in the future...
Regards
Andreas

I get a rather frustrating mesaage when I connect my O2 Exec via the USB port. It takes about 3 time before the connection with the comp finally happen.
The message is - 'USB Device not recognised' ' One of the USB devices has malfunctioned ........'.
Does anybody else have this problem and can anybody help?
Yep
I get the same problem but only with one PC. It happens on either USB port and is not helped by adding a USB hub. As such i am investigating the problem as if it is PC based.
Is this with ActiveSync or CardExport? Either way try rebooting PC first, wait for it to finish loading Windows. Power off your Universal, connect cable to Universal and PC then power on Universal. Seems to work okay for me. If you are using CardExport, remember you can't change modes while connected.

I have an O2 xda mini and that connects first time every time.
Found it strange that the Exec did not do same!
I have this on one PC - make sure the XDA is turned off first. Then plug the USB cable in and it should power up by itself and get recognised by the PC.
Also make sure you are using the very latest ActivSync (4.1 I believe).
Thanks lads - connect the cable while the Exec was off and it cobnnects first time. Good stuff!!
Why is that?
I think its the phone not the pc that is at fault, as i had a usb car charger and a usb power charger, both using a standard usb lead and the same fault applies, obviously just charging, AS wouldnt happen would it lol.
me missus just got a wizard and none of these faults occur on it
I concur that the plugging in USB while Uni is switched off is much more successful. Can I check with you guys - can you activesync by USB while bluetooth is on? I've not been successful with that.

Hello,
Its been few months now that I have this issue, and wasn't able to solve it yet
Every time I connect my TyTN/ Hermes on the USB port of my laptop it causes a n immediate reboot. Even when the Laptop starts again when the usb ports are reactivated (the Hermes is still plugged-in) it reboots again and again ...
This is very inconvenient (...) I would say because I can neither Sync (Activesync 4.5) nor recharge my TyTN through the USB port. Even if I disable communications on activesync it does the same ...
Any ideas? anyone had similar issues?
Thanks a lot

yasou christoforos,
what happens when you plug in other USB devices, like a portable storage device or a mouse or something? Something could be wrong with your motherboard or hopefully just the OS. What model laptop is it?
Hello, I have a G4 wiza200, which had a broken USB port. I bought a replacement female jack and replaced the faulty one. Everything seems to be ok, there appear to be no short circuits and the Wizard will charge when connected either to the charger or cradled. The problem is that it's not discovered from the PC and it only charges when connected. I have no way to flash the rom or unlock the SIM lock.
Anyone any ides what the problem may be or of a possible solution?
Thanks
Edit: I forgot to mention that I don't have the original cable and I'm using the one I got with my N95 but I guess that's probably irrelevant as it is just a USB --> Mini USB cable.
Check if all the connectors are soldered properly ,charging doesn't confirm that it'll establish connectivity also,maybe the connectors for connectivity is not having a proper connection.There are perhaps five connectors,check with volt meter to confirm connection or get the phone in bootloaders (multicolor screen) connect to pc via usb cable and check if small usb appears in the bootloaders,if it appears it'll confirm establishing connectivity and you can flash a rom,but if it doesn't show it means there's a connection problem,either with the mini usb port or the usb cable.
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply. I have managed to SIM unlock it by sending the enableRapi.cab to the phone and installing it and using lokiwiz over bluetooth. I will go get another USB jack tomorrow and replace it again. Hopefully the problem is there and not one of the tiny ICs.
Believe it or not, it was the cable. I used the cable of a GPS device and it worked. The wizard has now officially returned from the dead
Yeah, I believe the nokia mini usb is a four prong, and ours is a five prong.
Glad to see you got it all fixed up
Now on to flashing some roms.......
enjoy
Thanks mate, I already have. Meanwhile I have discovered that G4s have their own RUU. I'm now running TNT's touchflo version of WM6.1, I have flashed the radio and the splash screens.
Hi,
Is anyone aware of issues with USB connections to this phone?
It is intermitent when using USB earphones or removing to use handset for calls.
Summary of problems:
USB earphones works
USB don't work
Handset only works on speaker, cannot change
USB connection to PC does not work
There is no consistency to the error.
Thanks in advance.
Should be in general, as this is not a development issue.
Checked the pins on your phone? All correct and not bent?
Pins all fine, I would say they look in order.
Cheers,
(had a lot of trouble signing up to the site to begin with as it hung on confirmation and then trouble posting a thread. Seems to be Ok today though. No more developer threads from me)
1-Try another cable
2-Try another computer
3-Change options in Settings>Connections> usb to pc
4-Change the phone
He has tried his usb cable and his headphones usb converter. Whilst its unlikely both are broken, it is a possibility I over looked. I = Fail
May also be worth giving it a quick go over with compressed air, make sure no dust etc has got in which possibly may also be causing the issue, but I guess you would have noticed that when you checked the pins.
Hey everyone, I recently got hold of a HP iPAQ 614c from a friend, and was playing with it. I've had it about a week and so far it's been a lot of fun to play with. Downloaded and used the WM6.1 Manila and then WM6.5 Manila (v0.5) from this forum, and all was working super.
Now a day or so ago, I noticed my phone just totally stopped recognising the USB cable connected to it, and I need some advice as to what to do. It's not detecting the USB either in A/C charge mode, or when connected to my laptop, the laptop isn't detecting it as a device at all.
There is nothing wrong with either battery (a normal and a high capacity, both were working and charging fine before).
I've tried replacing, downgrading and re-upgrading the ROMs, and nothing seems to be working. I've also tried twiddling the cable connection to see if I can get it to respond (even temporarily, which would suggest a lose or damaged connection).
Luckily with the high capacity battery, I got about a week to fix it (if it's fixable) so long as I keep the wi-fi disabled.
Now what I want to know from you guys is if you think it's one of the following scenarios:
1. The USB interface on the phone is damaged (either from being knocked or dropped).
2. The cable has become damaged.
3. I've fudged something inside by using the unofficial ROMs.
And what, if anything I can do about it.
Much appreciated any help.
are you using the original charger?
HP614c recognizes the original charger and informs you about charging in other cases you need to turn on USB charging in system
if you have no response from USB it may be a damaged usb interface eg. the connector or charging IC or USB interface IC.
did you try on other PC/USB port or/and other cable
also check in device manager of PC for any suspicious looking USB devices
