Charging the 9360

Hi
My Curve 9360 charges fine using the supplied mains charger and from my laptop's USB ports, but not from any third party USB wall chargers I have tried.
The wall chargers I have are 5v 500mA, which as I understand it, is the same output as a computer's USB port. I don't understand why I can't charge the phone using other 5v 500mA wall plugs?
Cheers,
Jamie

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

  • My Ipod Touch is giving a error message of 'This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' whenever I dock it in my Bose Sound Dock and refuses to play but will charge the device?? am screaming mad and want to be able to play audio thru using the 2

    my ipod touch will not play music thru the Bose sound dock and displays the message 'this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' how can I fix it?

    "This accessory is not supported" usually refers to an inability to charge the iPod, but the music should still play throguh the Bose dock. My iPod Touch works this way.
    However, when the Bose refuses to make any sound, I unplug it from mains power for one minute. Then plug it back in and try again. This always sorts out the sound issue, but of course, it still will not charg the Touch.
    What happens in your case?

  • Power Supply Isn't Charging the Battery

    This is a rather tricky issue. It's happened before, a few weeks ago, but it had seemed to work itself out and began functioning normally. As I was playing Neverwinter Nights today, the iBook went to sleep. I had the Power Supply plugged in whilst I was playing, assuming that it was charging the iBook. As it was going to sleep, I would try to wake it up only for it to sleep again after a few seconds. I managed to save and exit the game, and I noticed it's at 0%. So I unplug the adaptor and replug it. It continues to go to sleep, so I shut the iBook down.
    After a few hours of fiddling with it and checking for information online on my iMac, I managed to get it to charge to about 15%. At this point, I turned the iBook back on and tried to get it to continue charging, but it's slowly been working its way back down to 8% or so ever since.
    What's strange is that the 'ring' on the plug lights up as Orange, but it doesn't charge. I've noticed if I leave the iBook and Power Supply plug alone, the charge indicator will sporadically change between 'Battery Life Indicator' to 'Battery Charge Indicator'. It's not like it flickers between the two, but every few seconds or so, it will change from one to the other, but it still steadily drains the battery. I've tried resetting the PMU, but it doesn't seem to have done anything with the situation. I also tried to diagnose if my Power Supply is bad by reading Apple's information pages on it.
    One of the troubleshooting documents shows images of bent metal rings on the connector. I looked at mine, and the metal ring is separated at the tip ever so slightly, nowhere near as bad as in the images. I can't figure out what's wrong. Could anybody give me some help?

    I have the very same problem - you could try someone else's charger if possible
    did not work for me though
    If you get any luck could you forward the reply to [email protected]
    cheers

  • I am unable to open any app on my iphone. While i'm trying to open an app, it just shakes the screen and it does not get open and remains in the  same page. It worked fine until I charged the phone in my laptop. Please can anyone help me to recover it?

    I am not able to open any app on my iphone. While i'm trying to open an app it just shake the screen and it does not open and remains in the same screen. It worked fine until I charged the phone this evening. After that suddenly I'm facing this. Please can anyone help me to recover this issue? pls!

    This is covered in the basics section.
    A restore loses nothing.
    A restore does.  If you are using the iphone as designed, then everything should be on your computer.

    Hello warhogs17,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • My iphone 4s wont turn on,it wont even charge,when it does eventually start to charge the apple icon on the screen will appear for a few seconds then itll disappear, i have tried to do the soft/hard reset but nothing happens, can anyone help me please?

    My iphone 4s wont turn on,it wont even charge,when it does eventually start to charge the apple icon on the screen will appear for a few seconds then itll disappear, i have tried to do the soft/hard reset but nothing happens, can anyone help me please? do i have a dead iphone on my hands? isit worth me going into the apple store and seeing what they can do or isit pointless? please help!!!

    Try to backup and restore you device in itunes...restoring the device is like removing the iOS software off the device and re-add in a newer software, after you have restore you device, MAKE SURE YOU SET UP YOUR DEVICE LIKE A NEW DEVICE, DONT NOT RESTORE FROM BACKUP!!... give the device a chance to use the newer software and see if the issue still persisting, if the issue still on going then its would be a hardware issue.
    Call Apple Care and see if your device is still under warranty to get it replace

  • Re: Mifi and Charging - does this work for charging the iPad?

    I found the following post on here - but it is too old for me to reply directly to it - however, this was a very good post and it worked for me and I would really like to get in touch with mikebob to see if the same thing would work for charging the iPad - his ideas really work. And does he or anyone know how to charge the iPad from batteries?
    thanks a lot

    I finally managed to figure out the proper cabling to get the Verizon Mifi 2200 to charge using a generic USB charger. To recap the problem... The mifi device will only charge when using the supplied micro usb charger, or when connected to a computer USB port using the supplied micro USB cable. When connected to a computer, the device reverts to it's connected data mode, which turns off the wifi ssid broadcast and requires the Verizon access manager application to be launched. Most third party chargers will not work... including most 12V lighter to USB adapters, and most backup battery solutions.
    Here is what is going on... Per the USB specification, Pins 1 and 4 are 5V power and ground respectively. Pins 2 and 3 are data+ and data-. In most chargers, pins two and three are tied via a pullup resistor to the 5V line. If you measure the voltage on 2 and 3 you will see around 3V, equivalent to a logic high state. This has something to do with allowing the device being charged to identify whether it should be in a fast or slow charging mode. More importantly, it is what the Apple iPod expects to see . So, anyone wanting to build generic USB chargers will probably implement this way in order to tap into the single largest device market around. Unfortunately, the mifi does not like the logic high on pins 2 and 3. I haven't yet sorted out why, but when it sees logic high on pins two and three, it refuses to go into charging mode.
    The solution is to use a cable where pins 1 and 4 (5V and GND) are carried straight through. Pins 2 and 3 need to be disconnected from the charging source and shorted together at the Mifi end. If this was a miniUSB instead of a microUSB, it would be what is called a "charge only" cable. I have not found any vendors yet for a charge only microUSB cable so I went ahead and performed surgery on a standard microUSB cable. I took a standard USB cable, cut it and then connected it to a microUSB connector from an old Motorola bluetooth headset charger.   Interestingly, the microUSB connector from the Moto charger  already has pins 2 and 3 shorted together internally so all I had to do was connect 5V and ground and heat shrink tube the whole thing. With this cable I can charge the mifi from any generic USB port, including those on 12V lighter adapters, and rechargeable backup batteries. In addition, I can also connect the Mifi to my laptop to charge while continuing to access the Mifi via wifi. 
    Only word of caution...  You really need to connect the Mifi to your computer using the standard data cable on occasion, say once per month.  The reason is that it is only in this mode that you will receive notifications of S/W updates and/or the need to update your PRL. (preferred roaming list).

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

  • 2 Power adapters...one glows amber to charge the other stays green??

    Hello,
    I have 2 power adapters for my ibook, the one that came with it originally & one I bought as an extra. They are both 45W apple ones. I have had problems with my ibook powering up & after replacing the dc-in board to no avail I have been told it's the logic board that needs replacing.
    I have just got a replacement logic board which I am yet to fit. As it stands at the moment I have replaced the dc-in board but still won't charge the battery?
    Also when I use the adapter that came with my ibook the light on the adapter glows green. When I plug the extra adapter in it glows amber but doesnt charge the battery?
    I am just confused as to why one adapter glows green & the other glows amber with the same battery in?
    I am also concerned to know if it would have been possible for the replacement adapter to have caused the logic board failure in the first place? As I am replacing the logic board soon I don't want the same mistake to happen again!
    Anyone help??

    All-right Master Meister, one last throw of the dice for me...
    Do you have a friend or relative who knows how to use a multi-meter? If so, get them to check the voltage + current flow from the adapters when connected to the mains (iBook unattached).
    Please do not try this yourself if you are unfamiliar with multi-meters; you could electrocute yourself or irreparably damage your equipment.
    If you are reasonably competent with basic electronics, hook up a 12V car battery to one side of the charger and a 3V torch (with batteries removed) to the other side. If the bulb lights, this will tell you if the adapter is working.
    I mean no disrespect: this is a potentially dangerous experiment and if you don't feel you are up to it, then don't try.
    Instead, take the adapters to your local electronics store and pay them to check them for you.

  • I got my iPhone stolen at a party, the next day my friend gave me back my iPhone 4s and he said that it was jailbroken. Now it will not turn on. When i plug it in to a charger, the apple logo appears for about ten second, then connect to iTunes stays on.

    Hello, i have a question on my iphone 4s. I went to a party a few days ago and it had gotten stolen. The next day my friend said that he had found it and it was jaibroken? The phone was on 1 % when i had recieved it. It then died and i plugged it in to the charger. When i plugged it in the apple logo appeared as if it was starting but, it wasnt. The apple logo appeared for about ten seconds and then the screen went black. After that, the connect to itunes screen popped up and will not go away. So now when i take it off of the charger the screen just stays black and wont turn on? I tried connecting it to itunes and restoring it. But it wont even show my phone any more on the side of itunes. I tried restoring it and an error had occured (2001). I have looked up on youtube how to fix this problem and non of them have helped or worked. Its my only phone and i cant even text my girlfriend which bothers me terribly!! Please help me ASAP!!

    You're on your own.  Good luck.

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • TA44551 Just recently my ipod nano's battery seemed to stop working? I plug it into a charger, the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What's going on? How can I fix it?

    Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.

    Yes.  The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement.  This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

    You can Google "iPod battery replacement" for third party service centers.

  • My iPhone 4 is no longer chargeable. Whenever I connect it to the charge, the charging icon appears on screen but even if you leave it for a night the icon will remain on the screen but there will be zero percent. I tried five different charges and plugs

    my iPhone 4 is no longer chargeable. Whenever I connect it to the charge, the charging icon appears on screen but even if I leave it for a night on charge the charge icon will remain on the screen but there will be zero percent of battery. I tried five different charges and plugs [ one in the apple store], same result. Any suggestions please?

  • Hello. I recently bought an Iphone 5S. I tried to charge it with the original charger that came with the phone and it doesn´t work...The cable is good, I´m charging the phone via my PC. I read many answers posted here but no one helped me. Thanks in

    Hello. I have a new Iphone 5S and the charger taht came with the phone doesn´t charge my Iphone. The cable is good because I´m charging the phone via my PC. I tried every recomendation posted here but none helped me...I live in Argentina and we don´t have local support here, I would´ve ask for a new one but it´s not an option here. Does anyone know what can I do? Thanks in advance. Regards.

    I live in China as well and my iPhone5s is the model A1530 I bougth outside China. I have the same problem as Nikatnight with the iPhone while the iPad Air (wifi only) is working like a charm. It must be definitely something related to the carrier since I was abroad few days ago and everything worked well.
    If you pay attention at the source of your maps, you'll discover they are provided by AutoNavi instead of TomTom and make them appear in chinese with their own border interpretation. Queries are only acceppted in Chinese (p.e. if I type in english "Los Angeles International Airport"  it replies it cannot locate it)
    I suppose everything will be fine when you'll be out of censorship....
    Perhaps iOS  Apple Maps are absolutely useless for expatriate in China.
    Use Google Maps instead
    BTW, I'm surprised how much Apple might prostrate towards hard power Governments.... No matter what, money are always on top!
