HTC Incredible 2 doesn't always charge...now dead

I've replaced the battery within the last 2 months. The phone will charge a few times but then does not charge and the battery dies. I just recently replaced the battery but I still have the same issues. I've tried different chargers and cords with the same outcome. Eventually it would decide to start charging again but now it's been dead for 2 days with no luck. I would have a flashing orange light that would go away. Sometimes a steady orange light that would go away. I've put the old battery back in the issue still remains. What is causing this and how do I fix it?

It sounds like an issue with your USB charging port. It could be dirty, loose, or defective.
I just bought this phone a few days ago, while I was reading the reviews I saw a lot of people mentioning the phone stops charging after a year or so. There is a repair part you can buy for about $7 that might fix it. Search "HTC Droid Incredible 2 Charging Port USB Dock Connector Repair Part" or click this link to view it on Amazon. Keep in mind, if you take your phone apart this will void your warranty. If you plan on replacing it, you should also take a look at a how-to video and make sure you have the necessary tools.
Hope this helps!

My mac book air doesn't always charge

my mac book air doesn't always charge. The charger doesn't always light up. Please advise.

unlikely your charger is bad, rather it sounds as if your IO BOARD may be defective, perform a SMC reset and re-verify same.
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
If same contact Apple for full in shop diagnostic and possible parts replacement.

Doesn't always charge

My wife and I both have iPod touch 5. I can plug hers ion and it connects and charges right away. I unplug hers and plug mine on and it doesn't always charge. In fact sometimes I have to press the actual connector up toward the screen before it will come on.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source if y have one
- 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.

When I connect my charger to my MacBook Air, it doesn't always charge..., When I connect my charger to my MacBook Air, it doesn't always charge...

While it isn't every time, there are many times that connecting the MagSafe adapter to my MacBook Air 13(late 2010) will not start it charging. There isn't always a green followed by an amber charging light. Sometimes, it is magnetically connected with no charging happening at all. No lights indicating anything.
A jostling of the connector usually gets things going. Could this have something to do with metal particles in the MagSafe port of the MBA?

SYMPTOPMS: Intermittent charging, magsafe light not lighting. Wiggling the magsafe adapter while connected to the laptop can make the light turn back and even make it turn off again.
APPLES SOLUTION FOR MY LAPTOP: I purchases a 2011 Macbook Air 13" and I was having the same issues. After taking the laptop to Apple they determined it's not the charger but the magsafe connector inside the laptop that was coming loose and affecting the charging capabilities. Check to see if you can move the magsafe connecter that's on your computer. IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE. The genius at Apple showed me how mine was moving around easily. If yours moves around, the part needs to be replaced or the screw inside the laptop that holds the magsafe connecter needs to be tighted. In my case, they replaced my entire laptop although the replacement is now showing the same symptoms again after 1 month of very careful use.
Good Luck!

My iPhone doesn't always charge and the back is cracked and is falling apart. Can I get it replaced or trade it in for a better one?

I dropped my iPhone and the back cracked. immediately after that, it wouldnt charge fuly or at all sometimes, i'm having the same problem now, and the back of my phone is falling off in pieces. I would like ti get it replaced or trade it in for a new, better one. is that possible?

Take it to Apple, with some money, and ask if it is eligible for an out of warranty replacement. They will not trade a new 4S for a busted 4. If you want a 4S you'll have to buy one.

R.I.P Desktop Charging Cradle for the HTC Incredible

Verizon, Is this true???
http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-incredible-desktop-charging-cradle.html
People want a desktop charging cradle for their phones. Why can one not be produced? A lot of us purchased the phones under the assumption that a dock was being produced. Are you going to allow Incredible owners to exchange their device for Droid X's? You can't get any manufacture to produce a dock that can charge? I really don't think people care THAT much if the home screen doesn't auto rotate. If the clock application is launched it works fine in landscape or you mean a dock that works in portrait isn't possible?????

no doubt!!!! check this one for another device:
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&cat=Cradles&skuno=80604
how difficult would it really be for them to just place the micro usb plug slightly lower to fit the inc? i love this cradle if the could duplicate it to fit the inc. it can't be that tough to do. and with minor tweaks you could lay it on it's side for landscape. it would be perfect....postrait AND landscape AND it has a slot underneath for an extra battery. the manufaturer would have a gold mine because they'd be the ONLY ones with anything to sell us!!!!

Charger doesn't always seem to connect to computer

Hi,
I am having problems with my charger for my MBP. The green/orange light on the charger cord where it connects to the computer doesn't always light up when it is plugged in. This also means that it isn't charging sometimes. I have to take it in and out a few times or push with slight force on it for the light to turn on and for the computer to charge. I have a case on my computer but this isn't the problem because I have tried plugging the charger in both ways/directions and both ways have this problem. This computer is only a year old so I am worried.
Thanks!

PB doesn't always start up/won't run on charged battery

I have a 15" aluminum PowerBook that I've slowly been bringing back to life after it had a full mug of coffee dumped into it. I cleaned everything out and it's working again, for the most part. However, there are a couple of unresolved problems. The biggest is the computer doesn't always start up. I've also noticed that it won't run on the battery alone, even though the battery is fully charged. When unplugging the computer, the screen goes dark but the computer is still making noise -- it's running to some extent. Any pointers on how to get things running again properly would be greatly appreciated.

If you're able to charge the battery while it's in the computer, and pushing the button on the back of the battery shows all the LEDs lighting up, that suggests that you have a logic board problem. There are only 4 components to the charging circuit: power adapter, DC-in card, battery, and logic board. If what you described is that you can hook the power adapter up and charge the battery completely in the computer, the only component left is the logic board.
While there aren't any tests I've found to test the charging circuit, have you run the Apple hardware test or either of the TechTool programs to test the system? Insert your original OS X disk that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label. Reboot holding the option key down, choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted choose the extended test. Does that give you any errors?

HT4060 I have to wiggle the plug to charge my iPad and it doesn't always work

What is the possible fix for my having to wiggle the connector to charge my iPad, and that doesn't always work?

That's not normal. You can try another cable. If the issue repeats, then it's something with your iPad. If your device is still under warranty, take it in and have it assessed. If they determine that it's a manufacturer's defect, they can replace it, but if they determine it's 'abuse or neglect' then they won't.
If your device isn't under warranty you may be eligible for an out of warranty replacement.

Updated Ipod to ios 6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow also wifi doesn't always connect

Updated my ipod touch to ios6 now apps close without warning and seems really slow to repsond. Also doesn't always connect to the Wifi never had any problems before upgrade

Try a hard reboot (hold home and power buttons down at the same time until your iPod reboots). If that doesn't work, do a restore in iTunes and do not restore from backup. You wqill lose your game data and settings, but your iPod should run better and work properly.

Bridge CS5 doesn't recognize my HTC Incredible 2 smartphone.

When I configure my HTC Incredible 2 smartphone to connect to my Windows 7 OS as another drive and plug it into a USB port, it recognizes the drive as a camera or card reader but produces the error message: "Failed to obtain thumbnails from the device. The device is not connected or is busy." The Get Photos button is also grayed out. When my smartphone is first connected to the PC it gives me an option to install drivers and asks to insert disk, but I do not recall getting a driver disk with the phone and, when I visit the HTC web site, I have no idea what download might address this particular issue. The bottom line is that without Bridge's recognitioon, its features are unavailable and I can only copy and paste when I want to download photos. Would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks for your suggestions. Changing the JPG file association to Photoshop
and using Adobe Photo Downloader, which Bridge does, made no difference.
Still get the same error message about failing to load the thumbnails which
terminates the download process as far as Bridge is concerned. I also talked
to someone at HTC and it appears to be a third party driver issue; i.e.
There is no driver addressing the issue I raised. I can manipulate the phone
s photo gallery like any other disk, so rather than customizing in the
download process, it will just take another step or two for Bridge to do its
magic after download. Thanks again.

Charging n85 by USB doesn't always work

When I connect my N85 to my PC using the USB cable, the phone doesn't start charging automatically. I have to unplug and plug again the cable 2-3 times to get it work.
Is there any issue about it?
I'm using Windows Vista, if it matters.
Thank you

are you using the CA-101 usb cable that came with the phone? or a generic micro-usb cable? and how is your phone configured to connect when the usb is plugged in? pc suite? or mass storage? i would get some similar bug at first w/ my n85... sometimes plugging it into computer would not connect usb.. it would just say "charging" and even sometimes when i plugged it into wall charger it would say "usb connected in pc suite mode" or whatever. but i changed it to mass storage mode and it hasnt made a mistake since. the drawback is that when you are in mass storage mode and you connect to pc... the phone is locked out from the memory card so any apps installed to mem card are not available as well as anything else saved on mem card (photos, music, etc.)

HTC Incredible 4G LTE will not Power Up!

     I have had this phone since July 2012. Sometime around August 2013 I started having trouble with the phone turning off randomly. This phone has NEVER been dropped or gotten wet. In fact, I baby it since I dropped my old Blackberry and shattered the screen. I bought a protective case and screen cover for the HTC. Shortly after it began randomly turning off it would no longer charge using the Mini-USB Charge Port. I bought two replacement batteries that came with an external charger. Using the external charger, the phone worked for a short time. After about two weeks I had the same Shut Off problem again until I rigged it by leaving off the battery cover and sticking a penny in there to make sure the battery was making good contact with the phone's points. I figured maybe it had a bad/loose connection. Although it was very inconvenient, it worked for about two months (if I laid it on the table) and allowed me to save my pictures at least. Then one day it just would not turn on anymore, even using my penny "trick". I am sure the two 3rd party batteries and HTC battery is good because when I put them on the charger for a few hours the light turns from red to blue, indicating a full charge.
     Since Verizon Customer Support could not help me other than suggesting I spend $400 on a replacement, I am about to replace the Mini-USB Charging Port to see if this works. I am trying this because it doesn't register any power at all with the battery or the cord plugged in. I would rather try a $2to $3 fix than a $400-$600 replacement. Has anybody else tried this? Are there any Repair Manuals available or Parts Lists? I am about to remove and replace the Mini-USB Charging Port from the phone using a YouTube Video for guidance. Although the video is for an Incredible 2 there are only minor differences. I found a replacement Port that requires soldering on the internet for under $2. The whole piece with ribbon and screw mount that doesn't involve soldering is available for under $3. Before I open the phone, order the part, and get out the soldering iron I want to make sure there are no known issues or fixes. At what point is HTC responsible for selling a faulty product?
     I notice there are multiple posts about the HTC Incredibles' power problem with no answers other than, "Try a Hard Reset" or "Delete the last app you installed" by VZW Staff. Then the topic gets Locked for some reason! One post had over 10,000 views! As other people have replied, you can't reset or delete what you cant Power On.
     Does anybody have any suggestions other than a Class Action Suit? My "New Every Two" isn't up until July 2014, I've been using an old LG flipper for a few months and it is very annoying considering the amount of texts I send! I've been with Verizon for over ten years now and I am unable to find ANY loyalty from Verizon! I can get no love even though it's well over $10,000 I have spent with this company! Makes me think a little harder on where MY loyalties lie.

Did you ever get your phone to power on? I've had this issue off and on for months. Of course Verizon cannot help. What is the trick to get the phone to charge and come back on? The battery is new and the phone was working fine as long as I did not allow it to die, but it died today before I could place it on the charger. And as always, it hasn't come back on.

HTC Incredible 2 or Droid 3???

Hello all. I've just come from being an AT&T customer for abour 4 years and I am finally done. I have an HTC incredible 2 right now and it's great. But I'm not totally sold as of yet. I messed around with the Droid 3 in the store and wanted it, but they didn't have it in the store and said it had to be ordered. Is there anyone here that has owned both and prefer one over the other? This decision is literally keeping me up at night because I want it to be a phone I can stick with until I'm upgrade worthy. Also, I just came from having a Droid Charge. GREAT PHONE, SUCKY BATTERY LIFE and 4G isn't everywhere so it's always looking for a CDMA connection and it drains the crap out of my battery.
Things that influence my decision:
Data speeds and reliability
OS stability and flexibility
Camera quality and sound of videos (I found the sound in my Dinc 2 is horrible)
And most of all....battery drain and reliable remedies for it.
Note, i previously owned an iphone 4 on AT&T. Great phone, but can be a bit strick at times.
So any input PLEASE.

If you need a keyboard, D3 is a good phone. I don't know anything about the DI2 so I can't compare. That said, the D3 isn't without problems, battery life being one:
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/55243?tstart=30
Motorola said they're aware of the problem and we're expecting a fix soon based on a few rumors.
With the D3, I have not noticed data speed better or worse than my OG Droid or DX. The D3 has less problems than I've had without phones but isn't bug free. The biggest problem for me is battery life right now. The camera has a bug where close photos have a blue tint.
Checkout the motorola forums for the D3 and most of these are discussed in detail.
