This worked for me

I had this same problem with one of my phones.

I buy and sell HTC phones. One that I sold, the guy came back and told me it would only charge if the phone was off.

I know when I gave it to him it was working fine, because I had copied on a custom ROM and that all worked fine.

But when he returned it, the PC was not recognizing any device being connected and it wouldn't charge through a wall outlet unless the phone was off.

I checked all over the net and found lots of suggestions and ideas. The only thing that worked for me initially was..

If I turned off the phone and plugged it in to charge. Then turned it on leaving the charging cable plugged in. It would boot up charging and then continue to charge even if I removed the cable and plugged it back in.

But that would only work from a wall outlet. If I attempted to plug into the PC, the problem would start back and would only charge if the phone was off.

This problem has been here for weeks, but since I buy and sell phones I didn't really care about this one.. I just put it aside as a test phone.

Last night with the new ViperOne rom out.. I went to test again and figured I'd try searching for new ideas to fix the phone.

(lots of long story I know) :)

Anyway.. I found a post where a guy said he took it into his carrier and they used a small needle to clean the contacts.. but who the hell has time for that crap..

So I grabbed a can of electronic contact cleaner, turned off the phone, used my fingers to block the mic and speaker holes and sprayed the USB port a bit.

It was a quick dry solution, so in 5 seconds it was all dry again.. So powered up and plugged into the PC, but same result..

So I went back and did it with a bit more.. the can has one of those little red straws so you can focus the spray into a small space.. So I used that and really gave it a good spray with good force.. had it rebounding onto me and all.. But in the end.. the damn thing worked!

I now have it connected to my PC and am able to transfer files back and forth without any problems.

I'm going to spray it one more time just to be safe. But I was very pleased to see that this method worked for me.

So if someone else has a can of electronic contact cleaner around and could try it and see if they have the same luck it will be great to know that this is a definite option for some ppl.

I have the same problem, did this thing:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...ry-charger-reset-procedure-htc-one-m7-m8.html

And now it's this way (different roms):

Stock ROM (CWM Recovery) - still charges only when off.

Cyanogenmod 11 - charges when off, but when i turn it on and plug the charger - it charges while the screen is on. After the screen is off it immediately stops charging (ie. when you tap the screen not to let it go off - the phone keeps charging). Same thing happens when I connect the phone to computer (I can browse files, delete them, etc). Any help? Thanks. I have M7 International.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warpa:
How I solved this

Well, after reading it I think you should try this:

1. Try a different cable.

2. Try a different port on your PC.

3. Try another PC

4. Try a different AC charger

5. If none of these work then hard reset

If none of my steps work you might have to contact service. This is what I did when I had the issue and hopefully I think it could solve your problem. HTC cables aren't very good quality and I use a different brand of cable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapboi187:
All of this is unnecessary

I have found a solution to this. I am really happy since i am able to use my phone again.

Let me state what exactly i was going through.

I had to use the phone till it actually turned off completely consuming the whole battery and it was very frustrating because i had to deliberately use the phone till the phone shuts down and charge it. And once it started charging, it has a weird stupid way of charging. It shows that its charging and it goes off, comes back on and shows its charging, then it goes off... When it goes off the red light goes away...then comes back on.

I've read other threads and forums about people having the same issue. Others say they're not even able to connect their phones to the computer. You all should try connecting your phone to a computer and check if its able to transfer data.

If that happens, then you're saved. Because this really worked out for me.

Now, i'm not really sure what kind of bug this is, but here's how you fix this.

If you're able to transfer data to your phone, you must browse your phone on the computer and copy a file (or a couple of files - in my case i transferred a movie folder that had a couple files in it)

And guess what..i put it on charge and started charging like normal oh my god i was happy as hell :D:D

Thanks. I hope the same works for all of you, people have been saying you have to clean the charging port but not really ;)

Wireless Charging Pad

Ive been having these charging problems for the last couple of days.. phone was fine until then - can only charge when phone is turned off now .. tried everything!! very annoying..

I wondered if a wireless charging pad would work? ive been looking on eBay and seen some on there - i was thinking maybe its my charging port, i know these aren't expensive to replace but i really dont want to be 'attempting' to open up my M7 to replace this.. this lead me to the idea of trying a wireless charging pad -

Has anyone tried these pads?

Thanks,

Craig
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdwardMillen:
I've just had this happen on my phone, a HTC One M7 running Android 5.0.2 (but luckily and thanks to this thread, it now seems to be fixed, about 20 minutes later).

In my case it started while I was on a phone call - speaker mode kept randomly turning on (almost deafening me each time), followed immediately by the "Complete action with" dialog opening with the options of "Daydream" and "Gentle Alarm" (another app I have installed). It was the exact same sequence of events every time, along with the screen rotating even though I have auto-rotate turned off, and even on the homescreen and upside down (and when I tried restarting the phone, even the plain white screen with HTC logo in the middle rotated to upside down!)

Restarting didn't help - it started again as soon as I tried to make a phone call again, and then after another restart without trying to do anything, the screen kept turning on by itself and opening the "Complete action with" dialog again.

At least in my case, the issue was definitely the USB port. I wouldn't even have thought of it as I hadn't had any issues with charging (but hadn't yet tried to charge it since this craziness started), and I also wasn't getting relating to USB host mode or car mode (but I think I might have turned car mode off a while ago). After reading through this thread, I tried plugging it in and found that indeed, it wouldn't charge. So I tried wiggling the cable about a bit, then unplugging and plugging it in again, and then it started charging (and the MicroUSB plug actually felt like it clicked into place slightly better than the first time). And at the same time, all the issues stopped.

So I think it must have been caused by some debris that got into the USB port somehow, and I've just blasted it with some compressed air too for good measure.

Hey all,

My brother in law has a similar problem, however the phone seems to be completely bricked. It won't turn on, won't charge, and does not respond to any button combinations held for any amount of time. I've tried cleaning out the USB port, and tried multiple USB cables, no luck.

His phone is out of warranty and uninsured, and the AT&T store told him that they can't help him unless he's at least insured.

Any advice?

[Hardware Hacking General] Regal's Photon Q:
Hi everyone,

My Photon Q was probably about 30% charge when I last checked with it on. An hour or 2 later it was a little warm and was off. So I went to charge it using the car charger with 500mah charge rate. I came back about an hour later and the phone was really hot and no charging screen so I unplugged it. The green led light is lit when the phone is plugged in.

I tried holding the power button and volume down button, but it won't boot. If I have the usb charging cable plugged in from a PC or charger adapter when pressing those buttons, the green light will flicker off for a fraction of a second.

I then proceeded to dismantling the phone as I suspect a battery issue and the one in this phone is stupidly non-removable. After taking the back cover off, I tested the battery posts and received 0 volts. I still don't know if the battery caused the drain or if there's a short in the phone. I then took off the inside cover that holds the battery in. A few T5 screws later and the battery was removed. I connected the battery to some AA batteries in series to see if I could get a charge. A few hours later I got it up to 3 volts which held for several hours. So I connected it to a few more AA batteries in series to try and raise the voltage. I got it up to 3.67 volts and the battery is listed at 3.7 volts.

A day later and the voltage is still at 3.67 volts so I put the battery in the phone. I went to try and power it on, but nothing. I then connected it to a usb cord and received the slow flashing red led light a couple times before switching to green. The battery started getting warm again connected to the usb charger. After 20 minutes it was approaching hot so I unplugged the USB. The battery read 3.54 volts. 30 minutes later, 0 volts again.

Does anyone know what the actual voltage range is for this phone, as my old Samsung M320 is also 3.7 volts, but when testing the battery I get 4.10 volts? I heard it's pretty specific on minimum voltage. Any ideas for a temporary battery or way to boot the phone before spending $50 on a replacement battery and then find out there's a short in the phone. Is there another key combination to boot the phone, I'm trying to boot it to at least get my pictures and other data off it.

Thanks a lot in advance

Matt
[Hardware Hacking General] Regal's Photon Q:
Not the battery, seems to be an electrical short but where

I bought a new battery for the phone which had a 0 volt charge when I received it. I tried putting it in the phone as is to use the phone charger to charge it, but got nothing. So I charged it using 2, then 3 and then 4 AA batteries in series to get it up to 3.7 volts. I then put the battery in the phone and noticed the 2 large chips and the chip centered above them located by the camera get a little hot. I tried with the charger connected and not connected, but same thing. Power button doesn't turn the phone on. Just the green led lit when the USB power cable is attached. So now it seems there must be a short in the phone. Anyone know where I can look to check for a short, blown resistor or something in this phone? Or at least where the rom chip is located so maybe I can turn it into a usb drive to get my data at the least.

And sorry about the double post. I didn't receive any replies in the other section and I really need to get some data off the phone. Seemed the hardware section would be the place to check. Tree fell on the house and pictures before the tree was removed were taken with the phone which of course ironically stopped working right after. :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cameron213:
I am needing help setting live wallpapers on my lockscreen. I am running Jedi-x 16 Rom with Perseus-alpha35 kernel. Prior to installing the custom Rom everything worked fine. This is what happens: I long press on the screen, select "Set Wallpaper" then "Home and Lockscreen" then click on Live Wallpapers, then I get a message stating "TouchWiz Home has stopped." If I try setting it via Settings I get the message that "Settings has stopped." Now if I only chose to set a live wallpaper on my homescreen, it works fine and I am able to do so.

I have tried numerous times to remove LiveWallpapersPicker and reinstall different versions by using Root Explorer, moving the apk file to /system/app, changing the permissions rwx-r-r and rebooting.

Has anyone else ran into similar situations with custom Roms or have any advice for finding a solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Maybe try setting just for home screen possibly might fix your problem!!

Not too sure if you, can run a LW on the lockscreen!!:confused:

If I'm wrong then someone can correct me on that comment!!

I don't use live wallpapers because they use to much battery anyway! :what:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cameron213:
What I would like to happen is have the LW set for both the lockscreen and homescreen. It is currently set for the home screen. Live wallpapers can be set on the lockscreen. Prior to installing this Rom and kernel I had one set.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Oh ok. Well what might be stopping it from your response. Sounds like it's the kernel causing it not to work like it was B4!:mad:

Thanks. I don't why Google with each update take off functions from map.

One of the most stupid thing is that I am forced to turn on my WiFi to use map while i am outside with no wifi and my 4g data is working well. why on earth it can't just use the damn GPS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PENKO956:
flash in recovery like just like a rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] treetop777:
LOL - It DOES use you GPS chip. The problem is the map is downloaded dynamically depending on where you go so you have to have wifi or data active for it to download the maps.

Check youtube on how to cache the map data for destination and you will NOT need wifi or data if you don't deviate from that route.

Now, if you're one of those who enjoy looking at the pointer follow you around while you drive then yes, you always need wifi or data on. But it's always using the GPS to place you on the map.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Netuser:
You didn't understood what I meant. I know that it need internet to download Map, but the thing i was referring to is that you cant use the damn map even if you are outside with 3G/4G data activated. It absolutely force you to activate wifi even if you don't connect to wifi. The most stupid thing i ever seen. This thing waste my battery for nothing as my wifi keep searching for wifi points.

Workaround

You can use My Maps then navigate with Google Map with this kludgy workaround:

1) Open http://maps.google.com from stock browser, making sure you're logged-in to Google in on the browser

2) Click on the drop down arrow on the top right, then select "My Places"

3) Select one of your maps

4) Select a place

5) Tap on the place pin

6) Tap on the place information (either floating or on the bottom), then select Google Map for navigation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] treetop777:
Sorry to harp on this but you might learn something. I just tested with my phone (Droid X2). I turned-off wifi from settings, 3G came on. Then i opened Google maps, it said that to better locate me i should turn-on wifi - i hit "SKIP" and after a few seconds it showed my exact location (using the GPS chip in the phone). Then i switched to navigation and entered a destination, it gave me directions (on the map) no problem. this is all happening with wifi OFF. Oh, this is with maps 6.14.4

So either I'm lucky or you are doing something wrong. Maybe clearing data will give you the option to "skip" turning-on wifi.
