C6 Can't charge via Micro USB

Idiotic
I guess thats gonna be 2 more chargers needed then... one for the car and one for the office. And when the phone is at the office, it needs to be plugged in at BOTH ends, one for charge, the other for sync.
I simply can't understand what the hell Nokia were thinking about with sticking a Micro USB connection on the phone and then not using it for charging!, especially since they have signed the EU memorandum agreeing to adopting the Micro USB charging standard by 2011.
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newsroom/cf/itemlongdetail.cfm?item_id=3241
Nokia like to profile themselves as green - way to go for adding to the thousands of tonnes of electronic waste thats thrown away in Europe each year...

You can probably guess that im not gonna press the little green star for that response!
The C101-D is simply shorter, and as Nokia website states "this lightweight cable enables you to quickly transfer data or charge your compatible device while on the go."
http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/memory-cards-and-cables/cables/nok... The C6-00 is listed at a compatible device, on the linked page. therefore it should charge.
I also have a C101 cable from a previous phone, it doesnt charge the C6 either.
I'm perfectly aware of what year it is, but given that every other Nokia model with Micro USB can also use this connection for charging, and given Nokias clear committment to Micro USB as a charging standard, its inexcusable that USB charging doesn't appear to work on the C6, especially with the lack of any clear information/documentation about this limitation.
I'm currently awaiting Nokia Customer Care rsponse on this, since in my view this is a serious defect. Let's see if it is something that can be fixed with a software upgrade or not.

Zen Micro - charging via 220V - USB char

Hello!
I'm trying to charge my Zen Micro (5Gb) via 220V-usb charger (mini usb jack), but it seems that player is not charging. When I use computer usb port it charges normally.
Is it a feature, and zen can not be charged via 220v-usb device or it is a bug?
nb: charger has 5v - I'v tested it by voltmeter.
Thank you all for help

For v2 (MTP/PlaysForSure) firmware, you're looking for version 2.20.05.
Third-party chargers only work with the Micro in "locked charging" mode, which is only available in the ..0 and 2.20.05 firmwares (.0.02 too, but it has another power-related bug and should be upgraded anyway), or with certain workarounds used with earlier firmwares such as enabling a small removable-disk partition, which worked for me with 2..02 firmware. (I didn't have to actually enable removable-disk mode, but IIRC others did.)
Otherwise, the firmware "reads" the connection thru the USB port and refuses to charge if it isn't an officially-supported connection--that is, either a PC with the proper drivers for your firmware, or an official Creative charger. "Locked charging" turns that off; it's officially for PCs without drivers installed, but it works with third-party chargers as well.

I can't open the micro usb cover in my smartwatch 2

I can't open the micro usb cover in my smartwatch 2.
Somebody can help me ?

It can be a bit tricky to open the USB-cover, but there is a small slit over the USB-cover where you can put in your nail and pull it out.
You could also use a paperclip to get out the cap a little so you can easily open it your finger, just be careful so you don't harm the gasket which is on the inside of the USB-cap.

ATV3 not connecting to iTunes via micro USB

So I have connected my micro USB to the ATV3 and Widows 8.1 installed driver software in order recognize, but it won't show in "This PC" or even in iTunes itself. I do have the power cord plugged into the ATV3 when trying to connect to PC. So why can't I see it?

I'm assuming you followed the specific power instructions here:
Restoring your Apple TV - Apple Support
If so, try again with any superfluous USB devices/hubs disconnected.
Also possible you have a power only microUSB cable that is used for charging but which does not tramsnit data.

Nokia C7 not charging over micro-USB?

Hi,
Just wanted to check if this was a feature of the phone in that you can only charge the Nokia C7 using the micro-usb socket when it is connected to a PC / Laptop? If you connect it to a USB adapter / car usb socket then it will not charge using this method.......even though my other non Nokia phones charge using this method?
Is this a hardware limitation or can they enable it with a software fix?

I don't think it has anything to do with cable length. I do not use the small usb cable that came with Nokia C7. I'm using a compatible usb cable that came with my Kodak camera. Its also is nearly two feet long but am able to charge my phone with it. Am able to say that its charging because the battery indicator cycles as it does with a charger.

Can Ideapad Lynx k3011 micro USB port use for data communication?

Can the Micro USB port on the tablet be used as communication device to achieve this?
Thanks,

Why won't my Apple TV show up in iTunes via micro-USB?

I turned on my Apple TV (2nd gen I think) last night and it wanted to update. After going through two updates, all I got on the screen was an iTunes logo and a USB cord. I re-started via the remote and all I got was the same thing. Then I couldn't get it to go to sleep, the light just blinked. Unplugged and left it alone for awhile, plugged it back in, same thing. Went out today and bought a micro-USB cord to hook it up to my Mac and Restore from iTunes. When plugged in, the light in front just flashes and the Apple TV doesn't show up in the sidebar in iTunes under "Devices". Now what?

Try a different micro USB cable. I was trying with one I bought from Staples... didn't work no matter what I tried. Then I tried one made by LG (for LG phones)--- worked instantly. ATV2 should be unplugged from the power cord, just the micro USB cable connected to the computer USB port. Then launch iTunes. Good luck!

Nokia 6700 - Charge from Micro USB?

Hi,
The 6700 manual confirms that the phone can be charged from both microUSB and the standard mini charge but what it doesn't say is that the only way to charge using the microUSB port is to connect the phone to a PC or Laptop. If you plug the USB cable into any other type of USB charge device, including USB charge adapters (such as the iPhone charger) or a standard car 12v socket > 5v USB adapter the phone issues an error confirming charge method is not accepted.
I thought the whole point of phone companies agreeing to the new microUSB standard was to permit charging using any USB port? It seems Nokia have limited the charge capabilities of this phone and it is a right pain.
Come on Nokia, please fix this with the next firmware update !!

This is odd, because Nokia lists their AC-10 microUSB mains charger as compatible. I had thought the device rejects any current above the trickle charge from a standard PC USB cord, but if it works with the Nokia microUSB charger, it should accept higher currents (1200mAH). In which case the Nokia charger must be "talking" to the phone over USB to give it approval.
On the other hand, the manual doesn't mention support for USB mains chargers at all, so maybe including the AC-10 on the peripherals list is a goof.
Hopefully this doesn't extend to Nokia's other USB-charging phones, I have plenty of generic USB chargers around.

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another vga slot. Is there an adapter I can get for vga to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

Creative Zen Touch. At what point does it charge via the USB cab

Hello,
I've had a Creative Zen Juke box for a couple of weeks now. I need to give it a charge but I don't have my power cable to hand. I do however have my USB sync cable.
So apparently I can charge the device from the USB port.
So I've plugged it in and Then it syncs. But while the player is "on" it doesn't charge. So I shut it down but it won't let me as the screen shows as docked.
So I unplug the USB cable to release the dock and plug it back in and it docks so it won't charge.
I'm going round in circles at the moment.
How can I charge my player through the usb cable? Without it docking?
Thanks
Chris

Thanks for the quick reply.
I've tried locking it and that doesn't do any good. Hmmmm.
Basically If I turn off the player and then plug in the USB cable connected to the PC, the player turns itself on and starts docking at which point I cannot turn it off.
Its swings and round abouts. I can't seem to keep the thing turned off when its connected. I managed to keep it off for about 5 minutes earlier and the icon appeared showing it was charging. But all on its own it started up and started to dock, without me doing anything.
I have since reset the player and will have stern words for it if this bad behaviour continues.
Cheers
Chris

Only ipod mini can be charged with supplied usb cable? ..Really?

I just read in fine print in an obscure part of support site that only the ipod mini can be charged with the "supplied" cable? Is this true? No, come on really? But, I...I,I,I just paid 500 clams for the top of the line shiznit and it doesn't come with any kind of charger? Is apple gonna send me back to the store? No way,I thought apple was down for the little guy...I gotta go buy an A/C charger? 30 more duckets?

welcome to the forums!
your ipod doesnt need a power ac cable. Every time you connect ur ipod to your pc, it should start charging the batterie auto matically. Just leave your pc on all night long with the ipod connected, and in the morning your good to go!

The light on my apple tv is blinking furiously. i've held down the menu button, plugged and unplugged it, and just tried restoring it via micro usb. but the restore downloads then says it can't finish because it can't write to the disc. lost lost

Hi lostinmedford,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that the light is quickly flashing on your Apple TV and you are unable to restore it. According to the attached article, you are working through the correct steps by trying to reset and restore the Apple TV. In this situation, if the restore did not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to have the Apple TV evaluated for service by using the link in the attached article.
Apple TV: About the status light - Apple Support
Flashes quickly
Having issues. Try restarting or waking your Apple TV. If your Apple TV does not start up properly, you might need to reset the Apple TV or restore it to factory settings. See Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Restoring your Apple TV. If this does not resolve the issue, refer to the Service FAQ for additional assistance.
Best regards,
Joe

Micro usb doesn't work!!! (no charging, no pc connecting, ecc)

Hi!My micro usb connection deosn't work on my z3 compact!If I connect the phone to charge it, nothing happens (I've already tryed to change usb cable and also to connect it to a car charger...nothing!!!)And if I try to connect the phone to my pc, it doesn't work!!! How can I solve it? I tryed a factory reset and nothing changed...Can you help me, please???

Hello,
I have almost the same with my phone. It's been 3 days and I've tried everything that came to my mind!
First, the phone (Xperia Z3 Compact) was ok, then I noticed I'm low on battery (about 3%), I tried to charge it, connected to charger via micro usb port. Nothing happened, (like it has never been attached at all!) I did it several times, tested the charger and cable on other phones, worked properly on them.then I tested with several chargers and cables, and tried to charge it with my laptop, even when connecting to the laptop (on Windows), it's like nothing even detected, nothing at all, and on the phone nothing changes (no charging, no data connection, etc.).
Then I tried to restart the OS to see if it solves the problem, but due to the battery-low situation, I couldn't boot it back on! (the battery icon kept coming on the screen). The thing is, on the state before initiating to load the OS (Only the battery icon, big(!) on the screen), it SEEMED to be charging (the charger LED turned on and connecting and disconnecting the cable made difference!). but everytime after several seconds, the SONY logo appeared, and then the smaller battery icon with a 1% text appeared, then the LED turned off and it seemed to be not charging. (I tried it several times, even with 3-vibrate resets, etc. no change)
But when I tried to load it in the Fastboot mode or Flash mode, my laptop detected it without problem. (And did some getvar commands via fastboot, no problem in that state). then I provided a magnetic charger, and charged the phone without problem with that to 100%. But still, in the Android OS, USB does not work at all, no charging via usb, no data mode, no usb detection AT ALL.
Long story short, I even tried these:
Resetting completely to factory settings,Wiping cache partition,Flashing (via flashtool) the stock ROM.
and I even flashed the phone with a third party ROM! Still no usb charging/detection! The USB only works in Flash and Fastboot mode!
What do I do?!
