XDA IIs USB charger not working

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have recently purchased a USB Sync charger for my XDA IIs. After connecting it to my PC's USB port and the IIs I realised that it the phone was actually NOT charging although the display showed "Charging". In fact, the battery was discharging.

A quick search on the web revealed that this was a problem present in the XDa II (but later fixed by an update).

Could anyone confirm whether this problem is present in the XDa IIs as well ?

Also, is there any solution available ? Thanks :)

I have the same problem I have two usb charger/sync cables and an adapter for the Car so you can charge from the car no combination of any of these works with my MDA III.

Yet the MDA does show charging but as you say is discharging WHAT A PAIN a solution would be great but as for the USB port on your PC and or Laptop it is likely to be the fact that there isnt sufficent current on the port.

Has anyone tried one of the following charge/snnch cables on the Blue Angel?

Judging by the image, the usb sync charger on that page is similar to the one I have and mine isn't working.

FYI, If charging from a laptop, some laptops won't charge anything over USB unless they're on mains power themselves.

Did everyone try similar tests with Desktops?

Are there any USB cables that just charge the Blue Angel and actually charge it up! Could synch via infra red. Just wanted a USB change cable to keep in the laptop bag.

Just disable USB sync in ActiveSync (File/Connection Settings) on the PC; it'll still charge.

Yes but do these usb cables really charge and does anyone know where I can get a working one in the UK?

I exchanged the non-functional usb charger with one branded "Martin Fields USB Sync Charger for XDA II" and it finally works. :D

Hi,

My Veripart USB Hotsync Charger Cable O2 Xda II/Qtek work fine on my Qtek9090 (sync and charge).
I bought it here: www.pdashop.nl.

Succes,
