seems like noone can tell me if something special inside the mini-USB plug.

i realy cant charge. Very nice device, but i cant make it charging up whit cables. :(

guys, from up there, say that nothing special about the charging cables, but i trust what i see not what i read.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rhapdog:
Perhaps there is a problem with your USB port on the device? USB charging has standards, and all devices that need power from a USB port have the same power pin configuration. Otherwise, they can't call it a USB connection. It would have to be called a proprietary connection, and they would have to change the plug size/dimensions and pins.

If there isn't a problem with your battery (which is the most likely source of your problem), then it may be a loose connection on your USB connector. This happens with a number of devices.

If a sync cable connects to the PC but will not charge the battery, then you definitely have an unusual pin detachment of some sort, or a bad battery.

SOLVED: HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125) Dead Battery Wont Charge

Hi - Too bad for the OP that asked questions but did not listen to this brilliant post.

I have confirmed that a variation of this method works perfectly! I have an old Cingular 8125 that I have been trying to charge for over a year using various USB chargers and NONE would charge the device.

The reason that this may happen is that the original charger has an output of 1 full amp which is much higher than most chargers. The voltage is the same but you need a charger that can handle such a strong current draw.

Nearly all USB chargers can only handle around 250milliamps - 500milliamps which is about half the power needed to breathe life into a fully discharged battery.

The best solution is to NEVER let the battery fully discharge.

Here are the details of what I did:

1. Find the best match charger of 5-6 DC Volts and ability to put out as close to one amp (1000mA) as possible. I chose an old Sanyo SCP-07ADT that is rated at DC 5.4V at 800mA. The plug can be any type, no need to be USB.

2. Cut the connector off the end of the cable and strip the outer black part up about an inch and then strip the positive and negative (red / black respectively) wires up about a millimeter, just enough to have bare metal ends to touch to a small area.

3. Take your battery out of the phone, look at the back of battery for the + and - marks which correlate to one of the metal connection points on your battery, this is where you will "touch" or "attach" the bare ends of the wires.

4. Plug the charger in making sure not to short your bare leads. Before you do this double check that the OUTPUT of your charger is indeed DC voltage so that you don't hurt yourself. You do not want AC output and it can be dangerous.

Then touch the bare end of the red wire to positive of battery, and black wire to negative terminal of your battery. I held them with my fingers while surfing the web for about five or ten minutes. I had no idea if anything was happening or not but it "felt" like the battery might have gotten just a bit warmer.

5. Unplug the home-made bare wire charger and put battery in your phone. Quickly attach a USB charger or just plug into a USB cable of your computer. I pushed it in and nothing happened at first but finally I heard the standard "bleep" when you plug a USB device in. I knew that I made progress because it never beeped before it took about 30 seconds and several "bleeps" of connecting/disconnecting from USB but eventually the charge light stayed on!

It's been about 30 minutes and I'm up to about 50% charge and been using the phone heavily while charging.

So, in summary... never let your battery discharge below 5% or you can only charge it with an OEM cable rated at 1amp (rare). IF you let it discharge to "dead" then charge for 5-10 minutes with the "wire" method and then charge normally!

Thanks to Dozzen for the original idea!! :)

Wizard that won't charge

When my Wizard/HTC 8125 goes dead my cure for the battery is to use a 9 volt charger with the wires stripped back also. But, my method is a bit different. I place a standard Christmas Tree light bulb (the newer small ones)in series with the charger wires. Observe the correct polarity. The battery is labeled + and - so that part is easy. By using the small light bulb you are doing 2 things. 1.You can see the slight glow from the bulb and know that proper connection is made. 2. You are limiting the charging current to the battery.

If you get really creative like I did you can solder a couple of small nails or in my case a set of red and black probes to the setup and the points on these nails/probes make for much easier connections. Note.... This method may take a few minutes longer but, is much easier on the battery.

In my experience once the battery is below a certain level NO charger that I plug in will work. I just purchased a used 8125 from eBay and brought it back to life most successfully with this method.

hy there my htc wizard battery whos dead so i charched with a cable with + and - the phone starts but when i try to connect to a usb or a adaptor it doesnt charge anymore it show me the charge icon on the baterry but it doesnt charge the usb works fine it's sync to my pc but it doesnt charge anymore... what sould i do?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] semaj1919:
So it seems no one touched on what really matters here.

A design flaw, in my opinion. The HTC Wizard cannot recharge via USB unless there is enough power to turn on. The reason is because it requires the OS to charge.

So, what many people already posted are very creative ways to charge your 8125. The easiest and cheapest way, in my opinion, is to use AA batteries.

1) Take two AA batteries and tape together so they are in series. Imagine it like this... [- AA battery #1 +][- AA battery #2 +]

2) Use two wires and tape one to each side of the AA's (one on the + side and another on the other battery's - side since the - of the first battery is connected to the + of the second).

--w-i-r-e--[- AA battery #1 +][- AA battery #2 +]--w-i-r-e--

3) Connect the positive (+) wire to the positive (+) side of the phone. By this I mean the 6 metal pieces that stick out to contact the phone battery. I did it by wrapping the wire around the top most one (or second top most, it's been over a year since I've done this.).

4) Connect the negative (-) wire to the negative (-) side of the phone. Again, bottom most or second bottom most (see #3).

5) Insert phone battery while the wires are still in and connected to the two AAs.

6) Let the power flow for 30 seconds or so and then try turning your phone on. This part is the important part because you cannot use a USB to mini-USB connected to your computer to charge the phone unless the operating system can function. Meaning, it needs to be turned on first.

7) Once the phone is on, plug in the mini-USB part and connect it to a computer. I'd recommend getting at least 5% battery before disconnecting the AAs, seeing as you need to be able to start up your phone long enough for the OS to boot. Once the OS boots, you can fully charge it through a normal USB to mini-USB connection on any computer.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaquestion:
I've been scouring the forums in hopes of a fix for my problem (the G1 Q&A and the Android Development forums). In my searches I have found 10-20 people who have had this similar problem, specifically, a force close whenever I (we) attempt to use the camera.

I'm %90 positive this is a software issue. I have had this phone (my 3rd one) for a few months now, and never have I had any issues with the camera, i actually use the video cam fairly often. Anyways...I decided a while back to root and flash Cyanogen's latest ROM, with the latest radio (posted a few days ago) and the Death SPL. Once i completed this, I was met with an instant force close when attempting to use my camera.

I have actually wiped and installed Cyanogen's ROM 2x, (the 2 latest versions), I have also installed KingKlick latest ROM, neither of these, coupled with countless different configurations has solved the problem. I have attached a small snippet of the last log I pulled. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaquestion:
I also forgot to mention (and this might be completely wrong), I did restore the 1.5 image from the SPL, rebooted the phone, and the camera still didn't work, it didn't force close, just hung like it was trying to boot. I have also used the latest Super D ROM and I'm experiencing the same issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaquestion:
With my minimal knowledge, only one thing in the log jumped out at me, or, should I say I only saw one thing that I understood.

"X: /dev/msm_camera/control0 open failed: No such file or directory!"

Please help, this is a major deal for a number of people, every time it's posted, people just seem to ignore it.

Download Camera Magik from the market. If the problem is software related, then using a different camera app could be the solution. I like camera magik because is takes better pictures at low lights then the stock and the ability to zoom, but you can try any other app. Another suggestion is trying a sense based rom and using HTC camera. GL
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaquestion:
I guess I should have said Kernel based as opposed to software based. I tried Camera Magic as well as one other new type of photo software, Camera Magic FC's, the other one opens, but, the camera never turns on.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Do you have any other apps that use camera(i.e barcode scanner, shopsavy)? You may have to uninstall and re-install. Did you wipe in-between roms? Try clearing your rotation settings from recovery, that may sort it out (I know it's a long shot). Other then that, email whoever's rom you're using directly with that log, they may be able to help you a lot faster then any of us regular folks can :-)

Good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havikx:
try a complete super duper wipe.

start from rc29, nonrooted. see if the camera works. if it does, start the root-rom process and check at certain intervals. if it doesnt work when your not rooted and on the stock original firmware, then its gotta be the phone. did it ever work before? i know you said this is your 3rd phone. has it ever worked on this particular phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thaquestion:
First off, the camera/video has worked on all 3 of my phones, the 1st one had to be replaced because the keyboard went out, and, the 2nd one just kept randomly rebooting, the 3rd hasn't had any problems what so ever until my first root, which was Stock 2 Cyanogen.

So, I went back to RC29 unrooted and experienced a different problem. The camera didn't FC, but, it hung indefinitely at a black screen (kind of a dark grey). Unfortunately, for some reason the system option to force update to cupcake wasn't available, so, after 5hrs of waiting, I went back to root SuperD.

Hi,

i use htc for business, i have an application for my job sheet and the customer must sign on this application.

Do you think that is possible use a capacitive pen for sign ?

I look that the capacitive pen is large, like a finger, is there a capacitive pen equal to resistive pen ?

Thanks

[HD2 General] testato:
thanks for your answer.

yes, i know this type, but it is large, very large. If you try sign with this pen is it impossible to do because the signature is very large.

I ask for a real little pen like the resistive one.

nobody know if exist slim capacitive pen ?

Firstly, I don't know the technicalities involved, but...

Could you make a finger cap with a small nib on the end? Whether it's something you really want to make a customer wear, but it might offer you an option...

I want to change the Miri WM 6.5 back to the name of WM 6.1, I mean just the name, not the ROM itself.

The reason being this is not recognise by my service provider and I can't use some of the services for this reason.

hello everybody, i just flashed my ba with the wm 6,1+manila from d-two.

everithing works fine but i want to change the popup keyboard to one that i can use with my fingers.

also my eyes are very bad so i need everithing bigger, the icons, the text under the icons all the letters.

i tried sk tools but it doesnt change everithing.

i would need everiting a lot bigger, lets say as big so it just fits the screen, including the popup menus, the start list and everithing else.

is there a way?

thanks a lot
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
you cannot change the standard soft keyboard in that way, you need to install another soft keyboard. you find several ones in the "read first" link in my signature, they are all finger friendly, small in size and free, also there are screenshots provided which give you a good feeling of the general looks and feel of it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] webrush:
thx a lot, but now i still have the prob that the device is nearly unreadable for my eyes, so i still have to make everithing bigger and with more kontrast, lets say black background, bigger fonts and white fonts....

any suggestions?

Quite propable, that they won't do it. The same behaviour has been with other german t-mobile branded phones - too much hassle to properly test patches etc, with no real possibilities that it would bring money in.
