Touch Pro Only Charges When Connected to PC

FAST5 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-25-2009, 10:55 AM

Hey guys, okay, this has me baffled.

My CDMA TP2 (running EnergyRom) will only charge when it is connected to the PC. When I connect it to the wall, the "Connect to a PC" menu comes up and asks if I want to connect via ActiveSync, Disk Transfer, etc.

IT WILL NOT CHARGE THE PHONE FROM THE WALL.

I am using the correct charger, and nothing is wrong with the cable, apparently since it does charge from the PC.

I also noticed that if I soft reset while connected to the wall, the orange charge light will come on for a minute or so, up until the phone completely boots and then it goes away, and does not charge.

Gotta be a software issue of some kind...

Hard reset twice...

PLEASE HELP!

Try a different ROM.

Thanks guys, flashed to MightyROM and the problem is still there.

Perhaps this is not software-related? I did read through some other thread and it mentioned there being a cab for this sort of thing.

Any other constructive advice?

Have you tried different a charger?
Sounds elementary but sometimes that's what's missed.
Like taking Jamarcus out of the game. lol. Right Havox?

Sounds like hardware.
One of my 6 Touch Pros stopped charging. I took it in to the spirnt store and they tried telling me it was MY fault and that I would have to pay a 100 deductible. I told them it wasn't my fault that their chinese made phone was made cheaply. The girl said that was not the case so... I asked her to explain the keyboard issue everyone was experiencing. lol.
I explained that I have had MANY phones and that this had not happened.
I argued and went through 4 different people till one of the managers charged my account the deductible and gave me a loyal customer credit on my account (wash).
I left the store with a nice shiny refurb in hand.
p.

Good luck.
