Hey guys
First, I hope I'm asking at the right forum. I searched at xda and it seems to be closest that fits. If there is a need to transfer it to different forum please do or let me know there to.
Than, I have a big problem and I do hope you can help me with- my Cube-i7-Book don't charge not by the Wall charger nor by the Usb-c charger.
I read a lot about the coube-I7-book and just before they started talking about the new one I bought it (+original keyboard). It arrived and I start using it about 3 moons ago.
1. Last moons I bought a Aukey fast USB desk charger (charge other devises ) and try to charge my cube-I7-book with the USB-c cable I got with my LG smartphone. It looks like the charger is connected but it doesn't charge (I try again and again).
2. Last night my cube-I7-book buttery was very low. I connected it to the wall charger as I always do and went to sleep. In the morning I took a look at the cubeI7-book. I was surprise to see it was still charging. I let it to continue charging. At the evening I checked again. It got 61% and stop charging. I re connect it to the charger and to a different wall socket - there was no reaction. I restart the cubeI7 book -nothing.
3. Could the problem is in the wall charger? If so what different charger l have to look for in order to check?
4. If it's not the charger, what can it be and what can I do to make it work? It is a new device and I really want it to work.
5. What about the USB-c charging? Why isn't it working? Can I do something about it?
Thank you for your help,
Did you manage to fix your problem. I have the same issue. Did you try to use a macbook usb-c charger, instead of a phone usb-c charger?
Only just seeing this, sounds odd. USB charging works well for me (although sometimes I need to unplug and replug the cable if charging doesn't start right away). You need to make sure that your USB c charger provides "power delivery " and in particular, I think, 12v charging, maybe 9v is also OK, but the standard 5v that some USB chargers provide is definitely not enough.
You may have a look at the forum on techtablets.com, there's a subforum for the i7 book with wire a few people active.

Not sure if this is right part of forum, but here it goes.
I am having an issue with the charging of my O2 XDA Mini.
If my battery dies, with still a small bit of power left in it (enough to get splash screen) and I go to charge it works fine no problem. Now over the wkend my phone died on my and I left it till this afternoon when I tried to turn on, it wouldnt turn on at all (not even splash) because obviously the battery is completely dead. Now when I go to plug it in, it wont charge, from USB cradle, the little orange light to say that its charging doesnt even come on.
Last time this happened I eventually got it to work via a friends socket (plug) charger, rather than USB, charger. Is there any reason for this or anyway that it can be fixed that even when the battery is completely dead I can charge it from my USB cradle.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thank you in advance

Sorry to bump this, but does anyone have any idea. I beleve the cause of this is due to the fact the USB power from the PC isnt enough to get the charging process started, is there anyway to get this done via the cradle.
Thanks

You'll need to use a charger that plugs into a wall socket I'm afraid. This happened to me once & that was the only way I could get it to work. If you search on Google, you'll find methods that involve a stripped down usb cable, but a wall charger is definately easier.
Good luck.
Should any usb based wall charger work?
I have a Motorolla one and Ive tried that but that didnt work.
I know for a fact that when I use my friends one it works and will charge, but he aint round for another 2 weeks

You cannot charge a totally flat battery through usb cable using PC,cuz it only supplies 0.5(500)amp,whereas to get the dead battery back into charging,it requires a supply charge of 1.0(1000)amp,secondly you can only charge the phone via usb if it's working normal and not when it's dead,as you cannot boot into OS.
Therefore,it'll only start to charge with a 'Wall Charger' which only supplies 1.0 amp,your friend's Wall (Mains) charger must be suppling a 1.0 amp charge.You cannot even charge it with the Motorola usb charger cuz it also supplies only 0.5 amp.So try to get a Wall (Mains) charger to get it start charging.
OR,
Yes! you can Jump start the battery using Motorola charger,but you'll have to sacrifice the motorola charger to do it,as you'll have to cut off the usb plug of the charger cable end and attach the 'Red' wire to the '+' (Possitive) connector of the battery and black wire to the '-' (Negative) connector of the battery and give Shock Charge to the battery for 10 seconds,repeat this for 4/5 times,it'll give the battery a jump start and will increase the 'Pulse' level of the battery,after that put it in the phone and check if it loads up,if it does then you can charge it via usb cable connected with PC.
Good luck
BTW ! there's an excellent thread regarding charging to avoide the battery to go flat and saving from getting into this situation,it wud be very info for you,check it also :-

zabardast_1 ,
You are the Guru ~
sorry couldnt reply to you before now, zabardast_1 thank you so much.
Thats great will have a look tonight and see what I can do
Here is a simple way of solving the problem, go and buy a charger, they cost next to nothing.
I just recently bought a wall charger since I lost the original one a while back. I've been charging via USB this whole time (maybe 6-8 months now). Anyway, when I charge with the wall charger, it'll say 100% and the green light would turn on (instead of the orange/amber for charging) so I assume that it's done. As soon as I unplug it, it drops maybe like 20-30%.
Is this a problem with the charger? Or the battery itself? I don't think it's battery since I've never had this problem when I would charge via USB. Could it be that my phone's just not used to being charged with a wall charger? Maybe because it's being charged faster with the wall charger that it's "used to" with USB? Any thoughts would be great.
No there's nothing wrong with your phone,if it gets charged via usb,then its fine.Fault is with your new wall charger,is it compatible with your phones specifications ? is it the original recommended or from other third party manufacturer ?. Wall charger must output a charge of 1.0 amp to fully get the pda battery,less then 1.0 amp will not charge the battery. Check this out,ok
Cheers!
Hey everyone.
I figure we could chat on what method you prefer on charging your wizard.
Do you charge always by USB?
Do you only use a wall charger?
A combination of both?
And why? Is there a benefit for using a certain method?
I try to always charge with the wall charger.
I use usb at work - when I need to, but find that it is more of a flash charge, that does not last nearly as long as the wall charger.
Just my 2 cents
Really I heard someone saying charging with a USB saturates the chemicals better?
not sure though.
as with any chemical, the longer the "cure" time, the longer it lasts.
My wall charger charges it too quick and it dies quicker. USB seems to last longer. Also, I have been using a wall plug usb adapter for a long time (the kind you stick into the outlet and plug a usb cord into it) I never had an issue. it wasn't untill i used the original wall charger that I started to have some problems (like I bought a brand new battery and brought it in from the cold (winter) pluged it into my phone; kept my phone off and charged it. apparently the batt got so hot that the plastic covering cracked. the stupid thing was that the batt was not room temp... but I'm afraid my wall charger is deffinately retired. I had the old batt for over 2 years, maybe even 3 and so far it has held up pretty well with usb charging.
Still holds up pretty well if I use usb.
Note: on the wiki they say that the Wizard last about 11hrs on a full charge. that is a blatant lie! I have had it last about 2 days (like the nights I didn't go home) the batt never dropped lower than 30% ever!!! untill I flashed it to a different rom
I posted a fix I think works for me on Merlin's Slim rom 6.1 ver2
It consists of registry settings and and a cab file that should adress your power issues. have fun lookins
I like charging with charge
It takes longer time to charge by usb than using wall charegr

i charge it overnight with the wall charger.
however, since i have started to play on it at work, i bought a wind up usb cable, hacked the wires inside to only leave the power connections, and i bring that to work to recharge it on the computer. call me paranoid, but since the tech support guys jump in and mess with the computer remotely i dont want any chance of them digging thru my phone
and if i have to have to charge it in the car, i have an old fm transmitter you can plug a flash drive into and it will play mp3s...so i plug my phone in there instead and viola el cheapo car usb charger
What lasts longer?
Hello everyone. I just want to start off saying that this is NOT a question about USB charging. I know about the trickle charge/lack of voltage stipulations. This is about the factory A/C adapter and USB cord I got with my transformer.
About 80% of the time I plug in my tablet to the A/C adapter, literally nothing happens. The screen doesn't turn on while in sleep mode like normal, the battery in the bottom corner doesn't change to a little lightning bolt, and most disturbingly, my tablet will not charge. The weirdest part is that it connects to the computer through USB no problem. I can move files and such, but no charging. Any ideas?
the charger construction is marginal at best and may need to be wiggled to get a good connection. also the usb connector an be plugged into the charger incorrectly. remember the usb connectot on the supplied cord does not comply s
with the usb spec. Also chev
ch the country ac side adapter ther are also unreliable
My cable went screwy and now it only trickle charges, regardless of what it's plugged into. I've got an RMA for it, but since I have to send them the cable to get a replacement, I'll have a paperweight for a few days at least.
Are you sure yours isn't trickle charging? There wouldn't be a lightning bolt, but I does charge.....very slowly.
Unplug the AC adapter from the wall for about 20 minutes. Plug it back in. Plug in TF.
Charging now?
unplugging it for a while seems to work better than anything. I'm pretty sure there isn't any trickling going on.
You can also try using the charger for your phone if the plug is a USB type. There have been a lot of problems with these charges documented in other threads.
Unplugging it definitely isn't a solution for me. When it first started happening I could do that and after a little while it would start working properly again, but now, it has charged at normal rates in about 3 weeks. I'm going to send it in with the RMA, but I have no idea what the turn-around time is. I'm going to be without any way to charge for that time, which pisses me off just a little bit.
Hi I've got a problem with my phone. If I connect it to the PC using orginal USB cable it charging, transfering data and so. But if I connect the phone to the wall charger it don't charge only screen wake up but no charging on battery icon. The wall charger is orginal too. I've tried changing ROMs.
This problem is really anoying so if You can, please help me.
You write you use the original charger, but do you also use the original USB cable? It matters, cheap USB cables do not work on the Defy :-(
seems some problem in wall socket adaptor

Got to check that out, cause I've been wondering why I can charge my Defy+ in some wall chargers, some computers, and so far no car chargers. Would be great if the cables are the cause. Thanks
I use the orginal usb cable too

There's nothing wrong with your phone, ROM, or USB cable, but your wall charger is broken.
Just get your charger replaced. That's what warranties are for.
The Defy doesn't really care about USB cables. If it's switched off it will charge anyway, so the ROM doesn't matter either. But it's very picky about the current and voltage stability of the charger. That's why many 3rd party chargers don't work no matter what cable you plug into it.
I was in non-official phones service and they check charging on another adaptors but i think they were not original. Anyway as i remember when lastly phone was charging it was a storm and on the next day it wasn't working but i'm not sure.
I know this thread is old but i didn't find solution to this problem, soooo:
The answer is = turn off debugging over USB

So why when I turn it on i have problems with charging?
Bug?
if u use External charger u must charge ur phone with mcgyver for 10 min.
after that use the External charger.
becaz ur battery so low.
Charging Issue
I got the same problem from the day i bought the mobile... The service center people told its charger issue and need to replace the charger. So Changed the wall charger under warranty. It took around 2 months to get my charger back. But the things are same. It sometime charge. Sometimes the screen will on and didnt charge. I tried changing different Versions. Same thing. Even the service center people have no idea about it....
Could you check if the micro-usb connector of the phone or that of the cable is clean, dirt and dust reduces or prevents transfer rate of electricity.
