Check your wall Adapter...Use an alternative one if available else get it to the service centre and analyze it...

Check the outlet as well, make sure everything, which isnt much, it connected properly.

I've faced the problem once... and the only thing that can help (for me) is sending it to the local SE care center. They had the problem fixed in about 5 days
Good luck

Vario is *suddenly* dead! I didn't upgrade anything.

Hi,
Suddenly my Vario died. I was not upgrading anything at all. I was just using it or maybe I was charging it during this time. Now I can't turn it on and when I connect the USB cable with power nothing happens. Not even the charging LED lights up.
Any ideas?
Did your battery completely die? Where you installing/and or modifying anything on the device? We needs some more info brother!

Feel free to ask more questions
Battery: maybe it did died, as I have not been using the phone for a while (couple of months).
No, I didn't do even any software installation. Just normal usage. I don't remember if I was charging it while it died or not.
Well, sounds to me like your battery may just be dead, not regular dead mind you, but drained. Try this first, connect your Wizard to either the original wall charger that came with it, and let it charge for a while, or find another miniUSB charger(like from another phone or bluetooth headset or the like) with AT LEAST 1A of OUTPUT. Anything less will not be able to charge the battery. Try that first, then let me know what happens!

I'm glad you found a solution.
My first inclination was to respond, "Yeah, and my wife says she has no idea how she got syphilis, either," but comedy doesn't fix broken phones...
BUT MAKES LAUGH SOMETIMEs
Hope you can get a new charger to get elecroshocks everytime to your wizard...
And Myrddin hope you can get some condoms

Tilt Wont Charge

i plug in my wall charger,the led light indicating that its charging turns ON.
after 5 seconds the led turns off and starts blinking
COLOR AMBER
ACTIVESYNC works
any clues?
someone please help
the only way i can charge is in BOOTLOADER MODE
which overheats my battery making me putting a fan infront of the phone
Plus its useless in bootloader mode so i am frequently changing the sims to diff. phones

I have this problem all the time. Ever since I started using 6.5 ROMs. Three of Abu's, and damn near all of TPC's gave my phone this problem. I tried some of Josh's and my wall charger started charging my phone again. I have six batteries and tried them all and two different wall chargers before I found out it was the ROM. Changing Hard SPL and radios didn't work. After I flash I test to see if it will charge. My phone just can't handle everything the chefs throw in there.
I have the same problem. my phone no charge any more than 30%, but the display indicate 100%. I have 3 new Batteries and i have the same finish.

[Q] tytn ii battery issue

hi guys,
when i power on my kaiser (with the stock rom) and the phone gets to the welcome screen i can hear a dead battery sound and the phone powers itself off. tried hard reset, flashing a new rom, changing radio, buying a new battery, charging battery using charger wires..nothing seems to work . If i flash a new rom like wm 6.5 the phone shows me radio version, protocol version and rom version ( R G D ), the light dim's and the phone shuts down.
when i connect the charger a yellow led turns on..i left the phone charging for one whole day but the light is still yellow
any solutions? thanx in advance
go look for the exe file called powerdetect.exe this is a small program listed in the TytN II service manual that is used to check the battrey health. I suspect the batt needs to be replaced.
the battery is ok. i've tried with several batteries and the result is the same
What charger are you using? Motorola v9 charger wont do. I had similar power off issue when starting up a unused unit. Only able to charge with original charger 5v 1000ma. OR try charging it through the PC USB port. If you have a notebook, just leave it in sleep mode for overnight charging
I've got a similar problem but usually when i make or accept calls the phone switches off
My phone is a Kaiser 130 which runs on 5 volts but the battery i got with it (bought it on ebay) is Kais 160 which runs at 3.7 volts???? Also the mains charger i got with phone is a 5v.
I just did a power test using the program below till the battery was dead and then plugged into my laptop to recharge and within 2 mins battery is up to 72%???
can anyone who has a Kaiser 130 from new tell me the original battery voltage and code please
power detect download is here if anyone wants to download

every kaiser has a 3.7 volts battery..are you sure the phone turns off when you make or receive a call? My guess is that only the screen turns off (sleep mode - same as pressing the red button) because your ear can touch the screen and acces random menus etc

That´s the problem
are you sure? ..'cause i spent a lot of money on a new original battery later to find out that the problem isn't from my battery..don't want to do the same with the flex cable..i found one around 40 €
which flex cable are you talking about? Do you have a second unit that you can do a part swap to see if it is actually the cable issue?

the main flex cable, which connect the two parts. Unfortunately i don't have a second unit..
Hi Giany,
had a battery problem not the same as yours by the sounds of it but solved it by installing the orange shipped rom which comes with radio.
might be worth a try.
good luck

already tried with no result. thanks for the answer
I have the same issue... .-(
The phone just switches off completely with any hint of longer usage (phone call longer than 1 min or so, garmin mobile xt barely makes to searching of satellites). I use original stock ROM.
Unused (no phone calls) it can last for two days. I have tested it with brand new/unused prepaid sim.
I took it to authorized HTC service center, but unfortunately they do not support it any more due to lack of parts.
Anybody else have this issue? Or clue to what might be wrong. I really love this phone…

ok..so i disconnected the flex cable from the mainboard and I connected the speaker and the battery. I powered on the phone, waited for like 30 seconds and i heard the dead battery sound..could it be a short-circuit on the mainboard or this is normal?

Hi,
I have the same problem. Do you know how to fix it?
Tks,

Same / Similar Problem
I have the same (or at least quite similar) problem here. Only with me, I think it's the micro USB port that needs changing. There is two visible cracks which maybe stopping the flow of electricity.
When I plug it into a charger, either wall or to my PC, it turns on fine, and can stay on aslong as it's plugged in. (sort of makes it like a desktop then, doesn't it ). The problem is that it doesn't charge.
I am using ahmed fikry's 6.5 Kaiser ROM but do not seem to have had any problem with it so far. I also run Ubuntu and Android through HaRet.
replacing the flex cable worked for me..i found one at about 30€. Hope this helps

Are you using the original charger that came with the device?
I have this problem with one of our non-original chargers. The screen does not respond as normal. Can't answer calls etc.
Try a different charger, original if possible. If it is the original one for sure then you may have something faulty with the pins, cable etc. If you don't have spare, ask around as the microusb chargers are pretty common these days and I'm sure someone won;t mind you testing to see if it is that.
Failing that, it might be your actual pin connections perhaps... make sure it's nice and clean in there.

I agree that this definitely sounds like a hardware problem. Does it do the same when you trickle charge the phone from the PC?

Xperia Z Stopped Charging

Today my girlfriend's Xperia Z stopped charging completely and eventually ran out of battery as of now its just a brick
I've tried using multiple cables but none are working and ive also bought a Docking Station for the device so ill guess ill have to wait for that to arrive...
When you fiddle around with the cable the LED does light up at times.. and if you manage to get it in that right spot and keep it there,
The LED just flashes very fast and doesnt seem to actually give it any charge at all, Still cant power it on, Nor does it overheat.
Just wondering if anyone else has experianced this problem and has fixed it in anyway as the Docking Station is not always the most pratical way to charge for her.
If the last resort is sending it off to be fixed, does anyone know how much it will cost (£) or even if it can be fixed?
Its not waterproof anymore either since the rubber seals have started to deteriate over time which is not great..
But that is not the cause of the phone to stop charging. Just another problem.
Thanks in advance

Yeah it probably is, i've bought a replacement USB Port cheap so i will try and replace it when it gets here and hopefully that will fix it
Just a little dissapointing as the phone is less than a year old D:
I still have 6 year old phones that still work great makes me wonder about these new ones that break all the time
