Charger/USB cable port cover problem

Charger/USB cable port cover gum is damaged and cover cannot be closed, what should i do?

You could try to either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care and have your device inspected http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
or buy new flaps from amazon or ebay for example and replace them yourself

My Z1's USB cable port cover/vent is slightly dented, what do I do? is it still waterproof?

When I had just got my z1 phone I must have done something by accident when trying to open my USB port cover as now the end of it leading to the memory card slot cover has a slight dent in it making it look a bit wonky and open at the end if I turn the phone on its side, is this top area of it crucial as in could water get through it if I put it in water? (The phone is waterproof as long as all vents are shut).
I've taken it to my Vodafone shop where i bought it but hey couldn't help they just said it could go into repair but that will cost a lot. So my questions are - Is it going to be okay and will still work fine underwater (as I noticed there's some block thing underneath the cover that goes over the hole of the USB port, what could I do to fix it (sensible answers)? and are there any phone cases for Z1 that would cover this part of the phone? (In the UK and can you name the kind please)
Would be big inconvenience if there's no way to get it fixed as in a week I'm going on holidays and wanted to use the phone there for swimming pool etc (main reason I got it was for the waterproof factor) , thank you so much if you can help

as far as you dont sure about water proffing better dont risk your phone
however you can contact sony here for information about repair or its cost

Charger & USB cable replacement

I have the original 8G iphone and the wall charger and USB charger that came with it is not working anymore. It won't charge my phone and my computer doesn't reconize the USB cable. Does the warranty cover charger replacements or what can i do?

Hey msgracie,
As tokatta said, the iPhones hardware warranty covers the iPhone accessories, as long as the issue was not caused by accidental damage or abuse. Here is a copy of the warranty: http://images.apple.com/legal/warranty/docs/070808iphoneWarranty.pdf
You can request repair online here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
You can also make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Palm V connecting with sync/charge usb cable to OS X Tiger 10.4.4

I recently bought a very nifty cable that lets my palm v charge and sync with my mac through USB. Sweet, no more bulky charging base, outlet use, or need for a serial anything. =)
But I cant get it to work.
On the package I was supposed to go to
http://shop.brando.com.hk/p5usbsynccharger.php and download the driver.
I am used to windows machines so this seemed normal.
I downloaded this
http://shop.brando.com.hk/files/p5usb_mac_osx10.1.x.zip
Even though I have 10.4.4
So a couple of questions,
First: from examing the package contents can anyone tell me what files I would need to delete if I wanted to revert to pre installation?
Second: I guess I expected my Palm to show up as a disk on my desktop. I have iSync and Palms software for Mac tiger and Palm V (same program) but I am not able to sync (maybe I just dont know what I am doing in the program and this is where I am spending most of my efforts)
My fears are: that palms program would have worked fine with this cable and I didnt need to download this package and by loading it have screwed up palms communication skills. And that I will never get to use this thing.
Sadly I am realizing it will never mesh with iCal no matter what I do.
Boo Hoo
Help appreciated =)

According to your post you downloaded 10.1.x.zip. Linked a little further down the page is another driver labeled 'Newest Mac driver'. It's not the same file you have listed. It's a .sit file which means you'll need Stuffit (if you don't already have it) to expand the file. So, for starters it would probably help to get the current most driver. Additionally there was another link on that page which has help notes. If you haven't already done so then check here to see if there's anything that may assist you. I have a Palm and have no trouble using the Palm Desktop software, even after upgrading to 10.4.4. I too use a USB cable to sync and charge the unit.
Regarding iSync, your model Palm is not on the supported list. You'll most likely need to download Missing Sync to try getting it working with iSync. Also, the Palm never shows up on the desktop as a drive, at least not for me. Please post back with your progress.

Why will my usb cable to charge my ipod touch on my laptop not work?!?!?

Then I plug my USB cable into two of my USB ports it says it does not recognize my charger USB cable. But then when I put it in my other one it recognizes it!!! What happened?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Perhaps the USB port is damaged somehow. Does any other device have a problem with the same USB port?
By the way, this is a worldwide forum, not a chat room. Therfore, if you post something, don't expect a reply within five minutes. (That's how long it took before you posted again to ask "does anyone know".) That's just unreasonable!

IPod Video - USB Cable connector area is broken

It appears that our USB cable got dented, and then when we went to plug it into the iPod that it damaged the port where you plug in the USB cable. We sent the iPod in to Apple (it's under warranty) and they simply sent it back to us in the same shape. They didn't even tell us "it will cost you $x if you want us to fix it". They want us to buy a new one. Which makes little sense.
I'm looking at online repair tutorials but I don't see any tutorial for the USB cable port. No manual shows that section of the iPod. Am I right in thinking that this port is an integral part of the motherboard, so what I am doing is replacing the $99 motherboard of the unit? I realize once I do that it's out of warranty, but heck, it's broken right now and Apple isn't even offering to fix it for a fee ... they want us to go buy a brand new one.
This is a fourth generation video iPod

I think the topic starter means iPod 3G not the second generation iPhone 3G.
But sorry, I don't know. I never used the new USB-cable for the iPod 3G, I always used Firewire.

Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6 months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
If so, am I doing anything wrong?

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee
Cheers, Gerd

USB cable to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Can I use the USB cable (that is part of my charger) to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Check the car documentation ,some will support charging but many specifically will not supply a charging current
if not use a USB plug for the vehicle 12 v charge socket ( or lighter plug in old world )

Hi my iPad 2 charger the one with the USB port and a USB cable doesn't work anymore I've changed fuses even tried a different cable no luck HELP!!!

HEEEELLLLLPPPP MEEE I'm going crazy!

Sounds like you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings.
See this Apple document:

You will need to use the "Micro USB Cable" to restore it to factory settings.
See the article shown above.
You must unplug the power cord before connecting the ATV to your computer....

Can no longer charge Nano with the USB cable

My iPod Nano (1st gen) won't charge via the USB cable any more. It will sync if there is enough battery life when I hook it up to the USB cable. However, if I leave it hooked up, it gets drained of all it's battery life. Fortunately I have a wall charger and a car charger and both of them will charge the Nano. It's a lot more convenient for me to charge it via my computer, but that's not possible any more. Is my Nano dying or is it possible the USB cable is damaged? If it's damaged, how can it sync but not charge? Why can I charge with other power sources but not the cable? Unfortunately, I don't have another iPod cable to test if the cable is damaged. If my Nano is dying, can you give me a rough estimate as to how long it will be before it stops charging all together. (I need to prepare my spouse for the upcoming iPod Touch purchase that will appear on credit card.)
Thanks.........Julie

Here's my own trial and error analysis of my problem. I hooked my iPod up to my old G4 PowerBook and tried to charge it from there. It didn't charge but it also didn't lose any more power that I could tell. I then hooked it up to my MacBook's first USB slot. I heard that the first slot has more power than the 2nd slot due to the way the 2 USB ports are configured. Unfortunately, the iPod appeared to have lost some power, i.e. the USB port drained some of the power from the iPod.
I'm guessing I need to take it in to have my USB ports checked out. I prefer to take it to an Apple store with a Genius bar that is 3 hours away instead of to our "local" Apple repair shop that is an hour away. I have Apple Care and I believe my local shop will still charge me for time.
Thanks for the suggestions. Until I find a day when I can take the long drive, I'll just charge my iPod from with a wall charger. I'm grateful the iPod syncs and I have an alternate way to charge.

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

N97 charging through usb cable in-car

using the nokia usb cable to charge the phone when connected to pc works fine. no problems at all. decided to use the same cable to charge whilst in the car, through a 3 way splitter which has a 5v usb port. nothing. no charging took place. I can get a charge for my DS using it's cable in the usb port, but not the nokia. What am I missing? is it that the nokia demands more juice to get a charge going, or what? I'm confused. Can anyone help with this?

Step one: pull out the battery Step two: Short the terminals of battery. SImply licking the golden connectors would do so. You would feel salty taste Step three: reinsert the battery and let it charge Magic just happened

My BlackBerry PlayBook won't charge when connected to the computer via the micro-USB to USB cable

Can anybody help me? I don't know why but lately, when I try to plug my BlackBerry PlayBook into my Windows 7 laptop using the micro-USB to USB cable, it connects to my computer without any problems but it won't charge. Instead, I get a notification in the top left corner saying "Unable to charge battery with connected sorce". I have four USB ports and I'm positive that they work just fine because I plugged in some of the USBs I own into each of those four ports and they recognized the USBs without any issues. Does anybody know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

The notification is by design and was added to clarify that USB charging is not to be relied upon as a main method of charging. Instead RIM's good intention has caused confusion.
USB (by design) can not provide the amount of power the device needs while it's being used. Technically, it is still trickle charging but the screen has to be off (and I'd turn off Wi-Fi too) since they are high power draining items. I have verified that the PlayBook does indeed still charge but it takes much, much longer than plugging it into a wall charger or rapid charger. In a crunch it will work but the computer has to be on the entire time. A full charge would take many hours.
