  • HTC rezound will not hold charge while cable is plugged in. (*new battery*)

    I have had the rezound for over a year now and around christmas time I was having problems with my battery not charging properly. I recently bought a new battery thinking that the battery was bad. Well it still did the same thing. I would plug in the cable at night the orange light would come on and the lightning bolt would come on saying its charging. I would wake up the next morning and the battery would be in the yellow or even in the red. sometimes the phone would shut off completely. Then I found out that if I put my phone in "airplane mode" it would charge up or just stay at the percentage when i plugged in the cord. Ive tried multiple charging cords to see if that was the problem and its not. Now that i have been dealing with the situation for over half a month now putting it in "airplane mode" will not charge the phone anymore or hold the charge. Now I do not have insurance on the phone and the htc warranty is out of date as i said before that ive had the phone for only a year. The sales clerk at verizon said that if i can prove the phone is in working conditon (im able to send texts messages or call from the phone) that i am eligible for I believe what she said was a 2 week warranty to be able to get the phone fixed. Because she said what the problem sounds like is the charging port in the phone has gone bad. Now is this true? or is she just bullsh***ing me just to try to get more money out of me or is there something i can do to fix the port myself? please i really need help soon because i leave for basic training in the army Feb.4th. so i can get this phone fixed asap.

    The pram battery is dead and causing you to lose the date when it powers down. Your main battery is likely toasted as well. Until you get a usable battery, you won't know the condition of the charger, but if you are able to boot with the charger I would assume that its okay.

  • Battery problems. Plugged in, says charging, but is not actually charging

    I have an HP TouchSmart tm2 (have had it for a few years now). Everything works fine (for the most part) except the battery. I have it plugged in but it says "0% available (plugged in, charging)" but it's not actually charging. It's been this way for a few days. I have taken out the battery and then put it back in, but nothing changes.
    I know I am no longer under warranty, and since it works fine while it is plugged in, I am not about to spend a ton of money to have this problem fixed. It started (minorly) when I got the laptop back from HP (completely unrelated issue, while still under warranty) a little over a year ago. It wasn't  big issue so I didn't worry about. It's just annoying now. I am just wondering if the battery needs replaced (and if so, how much is that going to run) or if it is a bigger issue that I will just have to live with because I'm not going to put a lot of money into this computer. I was hoping to be able to use this one at work and my old Dell at home (the Dell doesn't hold charge anymore and the battery costs more than the laptop is worth), since this one was still holding charge at the beginning of the week. Now it won't even charge. I have left it plugged in and off over night and there was no change in the battery percentage... frustrating, kind of makes me want to avoid HP from now on...

  • Ipad not getting charged while connected to the laptop

    ipad not getting charged while connected to the laptop.

    It's no different from the iPad 1 in  that regard.  When connected to a computer via USB it should charge when sleeping only.   Hit the sleep button and leave it for a while to see if that works.   It's much slower charging that way than using the actual charger.
    Not all USB's are powered, or powered enough, so what the previous poster said could also be the case.

    You will need to contact the app developer if your having problems with a 3rd paty app.  See if they have a support forum.

  • My Iphone 5 won't charge while turned on.

    My iphone 5 won't charge at all while turned on. I have to turn off my phone in order to charge it. I can't really use my phone now because of the iPhone 5 battery life. I need help!

    You are going to have t take that to the apple store . Make a Genius Bar appointment and they will help you. Most likely they will give you a new phone. Hope this helps

  • IPhone 5 not fully charging

    Hi,
    iPhone 5 - recently noticed when plugged in overnight, it was not fully charging (maybe charging to 75-80% when I checked in morning).  Unplug and plug lightning connector back into phone, and leave it alone.  It will eventually charge all the way.  Anyone else seen this?

    Should also mention - let battery completely run down when I noticed this issue and then plugged it in to charge.  Still same behavior.

  • Iphone 4s not taking charge

    Left my iPhone 4s on the charger over night as usual. This morning...10% battery warning. Used a different charger, not working. Plugged into my iMac, iTunes not "seeing" it, nor is it being acknowledged on the desk top.
    Latest versions of all iOS, and Mac software are installed.
    Now what?

    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since it sounds like there is a hardware problem.

  • Iphone 5 not properly charging

    In the last few days I've come across this, and I'm not the only one either, my iPhone 5 doesn't charge properly.
    Every time I plug the charger in, it shows that it's charging and when I come back to it, it's not fully charged, but it shows it is.
    Other times too I plug the charger in and it doesn't charge but says it's full. I.E this morning I put it on charge with 15% and showed the icon on the battery that said it was full.
    Can anyone help me before I take a trip to the Genius Bar again?

  • My iphone will not completley charge

    My phone will not completely charge at home over night nor in the jeep while on charge? what do I do?

    Try recalibrating the battery meter... fully discharge (until it shuts off) and then fully recharge (don't unplug until 100%) to recalibrate the battery meter.  You may need to do this a few times.

  • Iphone will not fulling charge

    Over the past two weeks, I have noticed significant battery challenges; among the worst, the phone will not completely charge.  I plug it in to a wall charger at night (6-7 hours) and it only charges to 30 or 40% of the battery.  I have turned off location services in the privacy settings.  I close out the applications used at least 5 times daily, so I am trying to conserve battery power. 
    I cannot overcome the phone not properly charging.  I have used THREE different wall chargers (two different car chargers) and THREE different cords.  Nothing works.  My wife's iphone (also a 4S) charges just fine.
    Help, please.

    Given what you've tried/done, sounds like your battery is ready to take a hike. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

  • HT1476 My battery shows 100% than 5 min later it says 30% why does my iPhone 5 not stay charged for a long time

    My iPhone 5 will not stay charged it says it's 100% charged then 5 min later it says I have 30% battery life please help

    Off-brand cables and chargers are often a source of problems with iOS devices...always use genuine Apple cables and chargers as they meet the specs for the device.
    The best solution at this point would be to take the iPone, cable and charger to an Apple store genius bar and have all tested to see if there are faults in the components.

    Hi there beee19,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
