N97 mini charging from flat using PC USB

Had quite an interesting experience:
My N97 mini was completely flat (battery).
When I try to charge it using my PC's USB port, the PC will try and identify it as a flash drive, but it will then bomb out - this is an endless cycle (the sound Windows makes when adding USB Flash drive and then removing it).
Using different USB ports has the same result. I am not sure whether charging occurs, but after 10min or so I am still unable to switch the phone on.
So I went to the device manager and I can see it reloading each time the N97 tries to register as a USB device. Then I went and looked at which port the N97 is connected to (open each USB root hub and look at the Power tab - ie refresh each time the new device found sound is played from Windows - the USB hub that will be connected to the phone will be indicated by "nokia usb flashing parent"). By disabling the applicable hub, the phone actually showed the Nokia logo on a white screen with the battery life indicator (non charging).
When I then re-enabled the USB Root Hub, the display remained on the phone and it started charging.
Without disabling the hub the phone would just continue to endlessly find and then discard the "flash drive".
I was using Windows XP SP3.
Nokia OVIsuite 2.2.0.241
I did manually terminate any Nokia processes prior to disabling the USB Root Hub (not sure how many tried to rerun again).
Finally it is charging again. Wasn't too keen on what happened, because I don't carry the charger with me when travelling abroad.
Hope someone finds this usefull.
Ciao

Hi all.
Went to bed with 5 bars of battery, woke up with a dead phone. Now I'm at work trying to charge via USB, but the screen won't light up. It'll buzz when I press the on button but nothing else happens. The little light beside the N97 Mini's USB port is on OK. My PC doesn't recognise the phone as a drive or anything.
Is it charging at all? Is my phone just dead and this isn't a battery problem?:-(
Thanks!

  • N97 Mini Charger Problem

    Hi there,
    I want to know if anyone else have the same problem as I?
    I bought the phone about 3 weeks now, and been through all the crashes, frustrations and pulling my hair out. I am pretty much over that stage already.
    But here comes my next problem that is very close for me to actually throw it out of my apartment.
    The phone charger that comes with the phone DOESN'T WORK!
    It never worked from the start, and I had to use the USB charger from my computer to N97 Mini.
    Okay, so that may be a solution. However, I am travelling abroad for a conference soon. How am I suppose to bring my computer along with USB charger and everything if I was to travel light -___-
    For those people who is going ot suggest, try and plug the USB charger to other computer. Here is the problem. I've tried my entire office computers after office hour. ONLY 1 computer manage to charge for 1 hr before it 'automatically' disconnects. The rest only recognize the PC suit and Mass memory... but NOT the charging *arghhhhh*
    Any solutions?

    you can buy a charger like mine when i lost my n97 mini charger all you do is get a port thing where you insert your computer cable into a usb port thing then at the end there is a port where there is to put it in the eletric look at the picture attached.

  • Connecting my ipad mini to my camera using the USB camera kit error message 'device is to powerful' keeps popping up.

    I am trying to connect my iPad mini to my Samsung camera using the USB camera kit, I keep getting the error message ' device to powerful'. Is there anyway to fix this or do I need to take it back?? The shop assistant in Currys assured me it should work and it wasn't cheap at £25 for a tiny wire! I have read other posts concerning this but they are dated quite a while ago so just wondered what the newest advice was concerning this. Thanks

    The camera is drawing too much power for your iPad. This can happen on cameras which charge their batteries using the USB connection. Make sure that you have the camera set to the correct settings for picture transfer - check the documentation that came with the camera.
    Note that you can return the USB kit and get the SD card adaptor or get a powered USB hub if you can't get the camera to work any other way.

  • Charging from Mains using USB Cable

    Hi,
    I've not been able to get my classic to charge from the mains using a plug with USB socket and the cable that came with my Ipod. The same thing works for my TomTom and Garmin.
    I've only ever been able to charge from my PC, Klipsch dock and the dock in my car.
    Help! I'm going on holiday soon, and won't have a computer to charge it from!

    The problem is that I want to be able to charge when on holiday, and even the official Apple travel charger is a glorified USB charger. As far as I'm aware, USB has a standard 5v output, and should work no matter what adaptor I have plugged into the mains as long as I use the dock -> USB adaptor included with my ipod?

  • HT1476 My Iphone5 wont charge from the mains or USB. What should I do?

    I got my Iphone5 as a christmas present and already it will not charge. I tried charging it from the mains and USB port, so I decided to buy a new cable. Even now with the new cable my phone still will not charge! What can I do about this?

    You should make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and have it evaluated.

  • IMovie 10.0.5 crashes into millions of colored pixels when I add v/o narrative using Pages to read script from and using a USB mic attached to my iMac. I am running Mavericks OS X10.9.4

    Hi, I have been editing a project for a week and over the past 2 days iMovie 10.0.5 has crashed into millions of colored pixels about 6 times. I am working on a 27" iMac running OS X 10.9.4 with 6GB of Ram, plenty of space on start up disc (217 GB's)  The crash seems to coincide with any effort to use an external USB mic plugged in to record a narrative. I can record the voice over but a few minutes later I get some awful audio scrubbing sounds and then it pixelates. Why is this happening and how can I work around this to record a voiceover please? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nervous to continue if my work is going to ultimately be lost. My project is currently about seventeen mins and includes, video clips from 2 different cameras (both Canon) a music track from iTunes and some still images (jpegs.)

    Thanks Erik,
    If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
    As an aside....
    I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...)  were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

  • N97(mini) charging problem

    MY MOBILE NOKIA N8(MINI) IS UN ABLE TO CHARGE PROPERLY.. I JUST BOUGHT IT AND AFTER TWO DAYS IT IS NOW WORKING PROPERLY .. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM SHALL I CHANGE BATTERY OR I SHALL SEND IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER . THE PHONE DOES OT CHARGE PROPERLY .. 

    N8 mini? Nokia does not make a phone called the N8 mini.
    It's possible that you may have a counterfeit phone that does not contain Nokia made parts. On the N8 that nokia makes the battery cannot be removed by the user without voiding the warranty.
    If you want to check if it's a genuine nokia take it to a Nokia service centre. If the phone is genuine they will be able to help you.

  • Since updating my iPod to iOS 5.0.1 my docking station will not charge my iPod or play my music. I can charge my iPod using a USB plug or my laptop. Can anyone help please?

    Having updated my iPod 3rd Generation to iOS 5.0.1 my Philips docking speaker is unable to charge or play my music. It recognizes it for a second then unrecognizes it, then recognizes it, then unrecognizes it. It is like it is having a hissy fit everytime I plug my iPod into it. My iPod beeps when I initially connect it to the speaker but then it disconnects itself after about 2 seconds. This has only started happening since updating to iOS 5.0.1 last night. Please help!!!!!

    Have you tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothng will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring from backup
    - Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod
    Have you also contaced Philips?

  • W4 Windows tablet - any way to charge while also using the USB port?

    I have an Acer W4 tablet with Windows 8 and I want to keep a USB printer and the USB charger attached to the tablet at the same time, but since it only has one USB port I cannot seem to make this work. I have tried an external, AC-powered USB hub which also charges attached USB devices, but it seems like the tablet won't charge when the USB port is in "host" mode, which it needs to be to talk to the printer. Anyone have a workaroud (hardware or software) for this problem? Thanks

  • 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.
    Help I'm trapped in a sig factory.

  • How do I charge my MBP on airplane using their USB outlets?

    Hello everyone,
    I have to make a lot of work-related trips mostly flying within Asia or from Asia to Africa (and return).
    While I am aware of the MagSafe Airline Adapter, I have actually never seen the required outlet anywhere close to my seat (well, loads of Ethiopian Airlines flights ;-)). However, I have noticed that more and more airlines provide an USB outlet next to the little TV screen in front of you.
    Charging my iphone using the USB outlet is no problem, but now I am wondering how I could charge my MBP with this USB outlet, too.
    Is there something that could connect the MagSafe Airline Adapter to an USB outlet or is there a different solution altogether?
    Cheers!

    Hey Fish,
    I came here looking for answers, too, as I am also a frequent (economy) flyer and have been getting frustrated by the lack of electrical outlets on planes (or worse, non-working!). As your question went unanswered, I searched a bit more and found this:

    That was my question, too, as I only ever manage to see USB ports in arm rests. So for now we are apparently SOL. Sorry to break it to you.

  • HT5868 My iphone 5 with ios 7 stopped promting me to "trust this computer" and wont charge from USB ports now

    My iphone 5 with ios 7 stopped promting me to "trust this computer" 1 day ago after doing it everytime i plugged it in to a USB port on my work laptop. It will now no longer charge from any of the USB ports. The USB ports work fine on the laptop for other devices and my phone will prompt me and charge at any other computer in my office. I possibly hit do not trust by accident which may have caused this. I reset all settings on the phone and rebooted my laptop and none of this fixed the issue. Phone syncs and charges fine at home and there were no issues with my work laptop up until 2 days ago with prompts or charging. Any ideas??
