Second RIM phone with inop battery charger

I have a Blackberry Torch with an inoperable battery charger. This appears to be a common problem because I have an older 8820 model with the same problem.
Is it better to just give in and buy an iphone, or can RIM fix the problem?

We've now established what charger(s) you're using but we don't know what you're plugging the charger(s) in to: Wall outlet, USB charger or car charger. Believe it or not, that answer will determine how we proceed with this thread.
I feel I'm not getting through to you with the correct questions so I'll leave this thread to another member to answer.
Cheers.

Since the ios7 update has anyone lost ability to charge phone with external battery back! And is there going to be an update to correct this?

Modular747 is a troll with very little real knowledge of the iPhone charging systems (as evidenced by his uninformed comments in other threads).
It could very well be iOS 7 refusing to charge from "non-authorized" accessories. We have done A/B tests with the same accessory (in this case cables) with iOS6 and iOS7 and have seen the cable work with iOS6, then not work (i.e. not charge) with iOS 7. Same device, same cable. Only change was the OS.
Keep the pressure on Apple, folks. It is not OK to make working accessories unusable with a software update.

I charged my iPhone with an iPad charger in Bali, indonesia with an adapter. The phone's screen is now blank white. I cannot turn the phone off or get anything to happen. What can I do?

Try resetting it: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

HT1476 Problems with iphone4S battery charger

My iphone 4 is showing the connect to power to charge symbol while it is plugged in and supposed to be charging and the power outlet is switched on. The battery is very low and it does not appear to want to charge?

Make sure the cable is ok and all connections tight. Else you may need to turn off/turn on the phone or reset it. Do so while it still has a wee bit of life left in it.

HT1483 has anyone had issues with the battery charging then dying with in 15 minutes thanks

Hello friends wondering if anyone has charging issues where the ipod 4 charges and seems to die after 15 minutes. thanks

Well i feel in this case you need to upgrade the firmware of your router. You can Download frjmware.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Also make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP automatically, disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer before trying to access the setup page...

Use nano with battery charger after battery has died?

Hello
I am wondering if it is possible to use the nano with the battery charger plugged into it after the battery in it has been used up? Because the battery seems to decay pretty fast and my primary reason to have the nano is as an input to my amp...
Thank you.

yes this ok to do. I do this all the time when I am listening to tunes at home. It saves the battery from discharging as quick

HT1476 Battery Charge Fluctuating

I noticed last night that my battery was at 1% even though my phone was on charge.
I attached it to my pc and after about half an hour the phone had picked up charge again and was at 87%.
It was fully charged when I left home this morning and then at work I've noticed it was on 57% so I've put it on charge. Checked it about half hour later and it was still on 57%.
I've done the whole turn off and on again and now it's gone from 57% to 97% in seconds and just now now gone to 100%.
Is it just the icon, or am I on borrowed time with the battery charging?

Hey there LizzyBee,
It sounds like the battery indicator is inconsistently reporting the battery charged percentage. In researching troubleshooting for you I found this Featured Discussion that may help your situation out as well:
My IPad doesn't charge 100%

This solved my question by Philly_Phan on Jun 21, 2012 4:43 PM
It's probably the battery indicator, not the battery itself. Run it down until it shuts down automatically. Ignore any low battery alerts that appear. Then, charge it overnight with the 10W charger. That should clear things for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Iphone4 wont turn on/recover with full battery please someone help??

Hi everyone, i've had my iphone 4 for just over a year now, i dropped it months ago accidently and got a few cracks on the back of the phone. The new issues now are the home button at the bottom doesn't work very well at all anymore and about a centimeter in height and all along the bottom of the screen doesn't register on the touch screen at all. And now today i've gone to use my phone with FULL battery and it doesn't turn on at all, or attempt to charge itself when i plug it in. So i tried connecting it upto itunes to recover my phone and nothing is working, can someone help me please??

Take it to Apple, or an Apple Authorized Sevice Provider. There is no way for you to "sort out" a hardware problem unless you are a trained techician with access to test equipment.

Help me choose a phone with Whatsapp (it ain't eas...

So... After being a smartphone lLumia dood for a loong time i am now ditching smartphones all together. I dont use facebook anymore and i want a nice slim candybar phone with long battery life, no touch, dual sim and whatsapp. Thats all i want. Simple? No!
My Main sim is 3G so the phone need to support this (because most 2g phones won't use EDGE/GPRS data on 3g cards as it is now).
I thought at first that i could use the Asha 206, but no. It is only 2g.
I would have loved the Nokia 225, but it does not support whatsapp. Why!!!?????
220 was also an option, but here again no 3G
210 was also an option but it is not available in my country and its crazy expensive for what you get.
HELP ANYONE?

Both the Nokia 225 and Nokia 210 do not offer 3G either. Did you consider a Nokia 208, Nokia 301, or Nokia 515? However, WhatsApp is limited in those ‘Nokia Series 40’ based phones, for example smilies+text. Furthermore, you are not going to get any long battery life either – WhatsApp = always online.

T520: Slice battery charging thresholds stuck

I bought a T520 (4240) a few months ago and, like most people around here had the same issues with pulsing fans and, on applying BIOS 1.28, CPU throttling issues. I'm not sure if the latter one is fixed properly yet, but I also have a problem with the battery charging thresholds that has me stumped.
I have the 55++ and 27++ 9-cell main and "slice" batteries. For a while I let them charge up to 100% whenever connected to AC, but then I read that a 100% charge level is not recommended for day-to-day operation.
I use Fedora 15 Linux 99.9% of the time on my T520. I wanted to set the battery charge thresholds to avoid the 100% charge level, but the "tp_smapi" Linux driver doesn't work for the T520 (yet). I read somewhere that if I were to set the charge thresholds with the Lenovo Power Manager in Windows 7, that they would work in Linux as long as the laptop was not completely powered down when switching from Windows to Linux (i.e., use a warm boot). Well, it worked. In fact it worked really well: I could even power down and remove the batteries and something, somewhere would still remember that I wanted to start charging the slice battery when it dropped below 35% and stop charging it at 80%, even when running Fedora 15.
Having used the machine for a few weeks, I found that I used it on battery power a lot and liked to "top up" the batteries over night. The 35/80 thresholds didn't really suit my working pattern. So, back in the Power Manageer in Windows, I changed the battery thresholds from 35/80 to 50/88 for both batteries (55++ and 27++). On booting back to Linux, I noted that the main battery would respect the new levels, but he slice battery was still stuck on 35/80. Back in Windows, I tried changing the levels in different ways, but the slice battery refused to charge to more than 80%, even under Windows, no matter what I did. It seems that my first change from the default (is it 96/100?) to 35/80 has gotten stuck somewhere and I cannot change it again.
I even notice in the Power Manager that the slice battery constantly toggles between charging and not charging when under AC power if I set the threshold to 85/90. Because the 80% level where the battery is stuck is lower than 85% (my new "start" threshold), charging kicks in, but it immediately stops again, as it won't go over 80%, then, of course, it starts again and stops again, and so on.
How do I fully reset the charge thresholds on the slice battery so I can exceed 80% charge?

I had kind of given up on this, but thank you KooMaster for your confirmation that I am not alone with this issue. I don't think this is a problem with the Lenovo or Windows software, as this happens to me when running Linux without either of those. My guess is that the problem is in the embedded controller (EC) firmware. It is responsible for charging the batteries and enforcing the charging thresholds (that's why they still work even when the machine is turned off).
It probably makes sense to charge each battery to 80% first, as it likely only takes half of the overall charge time to get to that level (the last 20% taking as long again). That way, we get both batteries to a useful charge level as fast as possible. However, based on your observations, it seems that someone in Lenovo forgot to tell the EC to check that the main battery has reached its upper charge threshold, not that it has reached 100%, before topping the slice battery up to its upper charging threshold.
Can someone in Lenovo please comment on this issue, as I raised it over seven months ago now and I haven't heard a single word from any of you about it? "KooMaster" has confirmed the problem on a different model with different batteries, so it seems highly likely that a quick check of the (shared?) EC firmware code and a patch will resolve this quite quickly.
(I updated my BIOS and EC firmware today and it made no difference to my problem.)

Using Canon battery charger LC-E8E in Europe

I have a new Canon EOS Rebel T5i with a Battery Charger LC-E8E. Can I use this battery charger in Europe - England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Croatia (using the necessary conversion plugs) or do I need a transformer with the charger?

Your charger is rated for 240V at 50Hz, the prevailing standard in Europe, so you should not need a transformer.
