Hello,
I've never used the stock charger but realising it may be the cause of some poor performance, I took it out of it's box, plug it and then.. Nothing happens?
Actually the charger was in my former i9100G box. But even if the G version had a different charger, it's still just an usb charger and something should happen! Can I open it to check the inside?

You could, hell, you can do whatever you want.
Now, what you should do is to check info on this regard, G variant is underclocked so it might need less juice from the power socket.
Low charge is good charge in my opinion but then again, what the hell do I know.
I'm pretty sure someone else already tried this, it has to be in the interbet sonewhere.

I've checked again, even though the charger model is SAME, the usb connector looks sightly different...
It could also be a fake charger! Writing on it is not clear as the i9100 charger.
Serial starts by DK, other starts by RT. Left is i9100, right is i9100G.

So return it to the seller, get a refund, buy one from someone reputable (And don't make multiple threads about the same issue, you should know a lot better than that given how long you've been here :-/)
Multiple thread..? Curious where you see that! Actually I wanted to post on the I9100G global thread but couldn't find it. Now I did

First of all Hello to you all!
This is my first post here so please have some patience with me .
So let's start...
A friend of mine had a XDA1. He droped it a few times and after a while he stoped using it. Now I saw it at his place and asked him about it. He said he couldn't remember if it workes or not because he hasn't used it for some time. Then he said I can have it.
The problem is that is only the XDA and nothing else. The accessories he gave to someone else and some maby he threw away, I don't now.
So now I have a XDA but I don't know if it works or not and have nothing to charge it with.
I tend to think that it doesn't work because the display looks funny on the inside. The exterior doesn't have anything but on the interior it looks crashed and has some white areas.
So my first questions are what charger to ask for at the store or at the service and if the display needs to be replaced is it worth it to change it?
Thank you for your patience to read my post and for you replies.
Here is a picture with the display:

well. i think you'll need to get a charger first. but i dont know if it will help much. that screen looks pretty messed up
Thanks for you reply.
I figured out that I need a charger, but what should I ask for? It must have a model number I think.
I Guess the Easyest way to get a Charger (and a Data Cable too) is to Use The Colorefull 4 Letter Internet Auction house (ebay) just use the Term XDA Charger and you will get what you are searching for.. I bought mine there to.. and got a Data Cable and a Charger with an USB Connector
it works Fine and if the Device is Broken you can sell it again there ;-)
hi,
i have an MDA Compact II of T-Mobile..
Previously it had German Windows Mobile 5 ROM, and I wanted to install an Spanish ROM..
Turned to be that the spanish one installed allright, but when i tourned the phone on it didn't... So i plugged it in and came to life but the battery was in 0%...
I let it plugged for half an hour but the charge didn't went up...
So i tried to install a new German Rom again but it doesn't allow me to do it because the battery is less than 50%...
I tried with several charmers but no one turned to solve my problem...
There is anything else that I can do??
Do you need mor information?? Tell me how to obtain it.. I'm preety new in this things...
Thanks
:/
There is a way,its a little bit extreme and i dont recommend it in any case but here it is if u like risking ur phones life: like battery flashing u need to connect ur phone directly to the cut off usb cable without battery,+to+,-to- all 4 wires, and the phone thinks that its backup power that ignores battery% but its still USB connected..I discovered that when i bought 3.6v instead 3.7v battery and it didnt want to start charging or start the phone if battery % below 6,so i did already explained and in the meantime little experimented. Its very low voltage on usb cables so it cant burn phone but u never know..
Like on picture connect usb wires to pins on phone those contacts go to..

Again,it worked for me but it doesnt mean that it will for you so..
Hope this helps..
Cheers
I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it

Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.
Hi, I have a TMobile Vibrant ROMed and rooted here, and it won't turn on. the soft keys do light up when its plugged in, but that's all it does. The battery is charged for sure because I do have an external battery charger that tells the charge of the battery.
This started happening about a couple days after I flashed AOKP, the odd thing is, prior I had CM7 flashed and it randomly bootlooped on me while using it (read: I was not installing roms/kernels, just regular day usage and it bootlooped)
This time with AOKP, it doesn't turn on at all! If anybody needs further information, I'll be on all day to provide it. Can anybody please help me?
UPDATE : I'm starting to think the screen is dead; I was able to flash stock somehow, and I can hear the unlock sound, but obviously nothing is on the display :/.
You probably already know that you can check for vital signs by plugging it into a PC and checking for a USB connection. You might even be able to get an adb login.
If the screen is dead, you could maybe use it as a... webcam? Wifi widget? Paper-weight? Or spare parts?
Good luck with it. It does sound like bad hardware.

Okay I have to admit that isn't worth the money.
Which one did you get though???
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
something like the first one.
but i really wonder WHY it does that!
I mean... i used the original Sony Wallcharger! 1.5A and just pluged it (with the sony cable) in the back of the charger!
Then the phone wen't out of battery and died... restartet after 5 minutes, and then i booted into the OS.
Thats the only reason i can imagine why it would charge so slowy. i mean.. i used exact that same wall charger via microUSB and it worked fast and fine!
i mean, how the hell would they limit the Ampere flowing trough the dock ? some included resistors?
If i have to much time i'll try and open it. but i could swear the cheapest way would be a simple (two...) from the microUSB port to the magnets. And this is chinaware! gotta be the cheapest way!
