AC adapter reports as Charging (USB) - HTC Rezound

I've done some searching but couldn't find an answer to this. No matter what charger or cord I use (including stock) my Rezound reports as charging over USB. I noticed it after updating to the 2.01... OTA. Has anybody seen this before or have any ideas how to fix? I'll also note my Inc never had a problem with any of the chargers I have.

I have been through a handful of different types of wall chargers that claim "5v. 1A output" and ONLY the official HTC wall charger has worked for me: http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-u250-wall-adapter-usa.html
Do NOT buy the ones on ebay... they are fake and DO NOT WORK.
I've had a handful of ebay chargers pump out "AC Charging" but never more than 200ma, even though they look legit... the ones i bought from htcpedia (2 so far) have been flawless just like the one that came with it.

The issue is that even the official one that comes with the phone reports as USB charging.

Oh wow, ok then I agree you got a problem... sadly I'm unaware of a fix... hoping someone else comes along and knows!

Originally I assumed it was the charger because the first time I noticed I wasn't using the official charger, though my Incredible never had a problem with it. Then when I got home, same thing with the official charger. I may see if an RUU fixes it when I get home tonight.

I will say this, I have a 2 amp charger, that will charge the bionic at 1.5 ah, but for some reason all of my HTC devices only charge at between .25 ah, and .5 ah. This is using an Evo View, TB, and Rezound. Not one of them will charge faster. So I think it has something to do with how HTC's recognize whether or not it is USB charging. So I wouldn't say all the ebay/amazon ones are junk, they just don't work with our phones.

The plot thickens. Went to lock the bootloader and run the ruu and it isn't being recognized by the pc when plugged into the USB port.

Replace phone maybe?
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound

Yup has to be 1A an hour for the Rezzy.

I stopped by the local Verizon store today and played dumb since I'm unable to RUU and relock the bootloader and said I noticed it after the update. Since I recently got the phone it isn't too far fetched that I just updated. The Verizon rep said it was probably the update that caused the USB menu not to pop up and to use the settings menu to select disk drive. I'l just play along and stop by later saying it still isn't working. I am a little nervous about it though considering I have Amon RA and an unlocked bootloader and can't fix it without being able to connect to a pc.

Are you using the same cable for all of this? A bad cable (open data line) would cause everything you describe.

I've used multiple cables and tested against my old Incredible which works fine with all of them.

Sounds like the USB port on the phone died.

Drop the RUU into dropbox and then download it to your phone via dropbox and flash.

I had this happen on my droid incredible 2. The usb charge port was loose inside the phone. I ended replacing the port on the phone and now it shows charging as AC with the same charger as before. I was using the stock charger as well. I suspect with your phone the connector inside the phone has come a little loose. The USB type will charge fine just at a slower rate from what I saw with my phone.

i'd say it would be easier to take some needle nose pliers & stretch out the tip of the usb cable

Sorry I don't know of a way to tightening it without replacing the whole port. You may want to bring it in to Verizon if the port is loose.

HTC Express Charge/sync dock

Got mine today. Looks nice, comes with AC and USB cable. The View fits nicely into the cradle and dock mode kicks on automatically as advertised. My only ding for this unit is you can't sync and charge at the same time. Well, it charges off USB, but not the same as with AC power direct into the unit; it's much slower to pick up a full charge regardless of whether the USB cable is plugged directly into a computer or powered hub.
Overall a nice accessory that gets the View off it's back and frees up a little space on the desk or end table. 4 thumbsups
Edit: HTC needs to have the sh!t slapped out of them for using that stupid proprietary plug and socket design on this device. They munged up an otherwise totally awesome tab!
Where did you get it? How much? Is it the OEM white version?

The That Amost Dock Rocks!
I have the dock, I just hate having to take the unit out of its case all the time and then put it back in when I take it out of the dock. The proprietary connector does suck and sucks even more because you cannot get the cables from anywhere. They should have put two connectors on the dock, one for syncing and one for charging like they did for the dock that came with the 6700.
I got mine from Sprint for $49.95 retail (but I had a 30% off card from Sprint) and it is OEM,but its black.

That's why I was saying I wanted a dual connector like the 6700 had.
USB has a max of 0.5 A and the Charger 1.67 A so it takes about 3x longer
i just purchased this From the sprint store and got the error message that the device is using a later version of software. I have the HDMI MHL converter connected to this as well. Anyone else have this problem?

Atrix 4G No Longer Charging

I have an Atrix 4G from ATT and it is not charging. It doesn't matter if I am using a wall charger (both stock and after market) or a USB cable connected to the computer. The only thing that happens is that if I am connected to a wall charger and restart my phone, it will come back on immediately, or when I plug it up when it has been off, its light will light up green for about 3 seconds, then go off.
If anyone has had this issue or might know what is going on, please let me know.
Thanks
Is your phone rooted? Are you using a custom rom?
If so, try erasing battery history and a full charge.
If this doesn't work, I guess you could be in the need for a new battery...

I have already had a new battery sent to me from Motorola, as with my old one, it would not charge and it had got to the point where it would not boot. The phone was bought from someone else and I don't know the history of the phone, but I don't believe it is rooted.
Thanks for your reply.
Have you tried a different cable? I realize you said you've tried just the USB, and two different wall chargers, but was it all with the same USB cable? I had the same issue, but it was the fault of the USB cable I was using.
I have tried several different cables, all of which I know are working (at least with my primary phone, HTC Aria). I have used three different USB Cables, both on the computer and with a USB Wall Adapter, and two wall chargers.
Also, I have wondered if it is a bad USB port, but I just have doubts if that is the cause. Could this be the reason, or does anyone else have any suggestions?
Thanks again for ALL the help so far, and any help that can be provided.
My USB wallcharger went bad. Got a new one off eBay (OEM) and everything works fine now.

Aria Cord
I've tried using cords ment for the Aria and Inspire/Desire with my Atrix and they never work right. Occasionally they'll work for a few min but i almost always have to go get my "Atrix" cord to do anything including charging at times. Oh, boyfriend just looked it up... it's the HTC wall plug that wont charge Motorola phones, not the cord fault. This might still help
*edit*
I'm not sure if what he read is really accurate. I remember having more issues with his cords (HTC) then what he just read.

I have looked at getting a new OEM charger, but I borrowed a charger from a friend, and this charger had a green tag on it that said EcoMoto, and I guessed that it was an OEM (but please correct me if I am wrong), and it still didn't work with the phone.
Thanks for all the replys.
I have gotten an external battery charger and I have gotten the battery charged to 100%. I have then tried with another USB cable, which still hasn't worked. I am looking at, as I have stated before, replacing the MicroUSB port. Does anyone think that this might be the reason for my issue, and does anyone has any tips for replacing the USB port?
Thanks for all the replays that I have gotten so far and any tips/suggestions that can be given to me.

Need a new sync cable

My usb sync cable started charging my phone extremely slow and sometimes ejects my phone from the pc randomly. I need to get a new one and I would prefer a Sammy original (even though this lasted me about 5 months.
Where online can I order it? Amazon has too many different sellers, I would like some first hand knowledge from someone who bought one

Buy Samsung Original cable
If your charging adapter works then you can use any cable to charge your phone, i always do and it charges normally but should be a 5V adapter.
BUT for syncing you need the original Samsung USB cable because other cables will not work for this purpose. This is the only way frnd

Sometimes I charge or connect with an Nokia cable..
But actually, I don't use stock charger.. It takes forever to charge
The stock cable is really poor. Most people report slow charging performance due to USB Charger stability detection.
Yeah at first it used to say charging via Usb that's when I realised it's started giving trouble. I'm using my old Xperia cable that belongs to my mom now, so I still need to purchase a new one. Anyone with a link?

Omg you need a link for a data cable? I've tried several ones, from other phones, unbranded, and so on I've never had a problem.
Or go on Samsung web site and choose one.
Google is your friend.

Tips on charging port replacement.

Hey there xda'ers!
I just picked up a Titan 4G for $30 :laugh: I always wanted one, I'm using an S3 right now and I plan on switching back and forth at my leisure.
The problem with the Titan is the charger port is VERY finicky. You have to really push the micro USB in and get it in just right for it to charge.
I found replacement ones on eBay for around $7ish. Has anyone replaced one before? Do you guys have any tips?
Thanks to all in advance!
Anyone?

have you checked there's no fluff in the original one? mine sometimes looks like it's charging, (ie light comes on red), but never gets charged. this usually means there's fluff inside the usb port and a good hard blow, (pardon the expression), sorts it out...

Sadly, the previous owner must have forced a mini usb into the jack or something, since all the pins are bent in. Or, it may have been dropped on the charger port while plugged in. All in all, the phone is in great shape for what I paid for it, as I always had a fascination with WP7.
I got a quote for $60-$70 to have the new USB port installed since it has to be soldered.
Even still, I plan on keeping it and ordering a back up battery charger from eBay since the phone is easily a 8/10 condition wise and I have already unlocked it :good:

[Q] How do I know if my USB cable support ADB and fastboot.

Bought my Droid DNA used. No cable. Got a Verizon wireless cable.
I'd like to root but, but before I do I would like to know if my cable supports ADB and fastboot (Moonshine.io warns that I must have this cable).

setup adb/fastboot and see if it detects your device
If the serial number isn't in the htc system you can call them and say your charger is broken and they send out a free one. Every serial number gets 1.

Tried it - it would have worked if I had the original cord to exchange. I could have tried lying to them and saying that I would have sent the cord in after they sent me one - but with all that sneaking around it seems simpler to go on Amazon and just purchase the damn cord.

I got mine replaced and they told me to "dispose of the defective charger when you have confirmed the replacement is working in a proper environment". I just gave them my serial number and had no issue. My charger really broke though the one mine came with made a lot of noise in the wall I said that I was concerned it was a fire hazard and it probably was and the rep was nice and said yeah stop using that we will ship you one for free. They don't want your defective materials. I also got my sim tray replaced and so did my brother and they said dispose of the defective material in the proper environment to both of us. Maybe you got a bad rep?

Yeah yo. My rep is way bad. Really though I am going to send the phone in to have the battery replaced while it is still under warranty (isn't holding a very long charge as it is). Maybe they will send me a replacement charger and cable out of the kindness of their hearts.
I bet the battery got this way by using a car charger or some non OEM charger. Universal my ass.
