weird problem - HTC Incredible S

hi guyz
today while charging my incs i think the current was a bit stronger than usual because the charger started smoking a bit
but i can still charge the phone with it but there is a prob
while charging now i turn on the screen but there is no response from screen
in other words the touch is NOT working while charging
p.s : i cant get another charger because i'm in syria
any help :crying:

Are you using the charger the phone came with? (the HTC one)

Just use the usb cable part of the changer with a computer? Any usb port and cable will do.

[Q] What kind of charger for HTC Incredible S?

Hi, I wan't to ask about the actual specification charger required for HTC Incredible S? I've been purchased the HTC regular charger with this specs:
Input: (100-240c.a 50-60Hz 0.15A) 10-20VA
Output: (5Vc.c 0.5A)
But unfortunately my touch screen not responsive and also goes crazy some times (the UI scrolled by itself). Is there any special charger for every different HTC devises? Now I'm using iPhone 4 charger and it work greats! I'm afraid misused type of charger can broke my phone.
Please help! Thanks.

Faced the same with cheap erzatz chargers, use branded chargers of 1000mah minimum (htc,blackberry,apple) they all work
Nb: they will not break your phone, its just annoying and battery might charge slow or not completely

Do not use cheap charger as it will cause the screen become unresponsive.

Iphone one should be perfectly fine though, try to stay away from cheap ones
I agree ,have had problems wth cheap chargers, you get what you pay for.

..So THATS why my screen has been weird sometimes, thanks guys!
Try direct USB charging from PC but never use cheap chargers at all. Charging from direct USB from PC is slow though but can be negotiate.

Extreme battery drain

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

[Q] Vivid Charging problem.

I have a htc vivid and the original wire is just about shot and I have to wiggle it into place to get it to charge and sometimes when I go into the secret menu it only says "charging via usb" and it charges slower and with the screen on and using the phone while charging it can get REAL hot, to the point of it not being able to touch or hold in my hand, I tried 4 other micro usb cables and only one of them seem to work in my vivid but won't charge as "ac" just as Usb like the original wire that came from the phone, I borrowed a buddy's cable and same exact thing, what should I do, I just have my vivid until the htc one comes out, and I can't relay on the phone, I can charge it overnight and wake up to only a 34% battery and when I do get it to 100% (very rare) it dyes faster than usual and especially since Wildchid's Sense 4.1 beta gets GREAT battery life...
What do I need to do? buy a new cable, buy a new charger port, anyone who could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Start with a new cable... I used a crap cable and found just before a battery gives up... the orange led will flash real fast... scared the hell out me
I was plugged in and losing...

Help! My phone isn't charging.

One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

Sorry, that was my only work around. I think you need to get the hardware repaired.

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre

HTC One slow charging

I've started a 'slow charging' symbol coming up on notification bar sometimes now and am charging.
I use an cheap usb cable with the original htc plug socket.
Anyone else noticed this ??

Never seen that and I've charged using many different cables. You say it's a cheap cable? Trash it and use something decent, not too long either.
Any cheap cable will cause that message to come up. The phone slows charging so it doesn't damage the battery.
