EDIT : Oh Thank God, SOFTWARE SOLVED WITH XDADev_BatFix.CAB
Gentleman,

I know I'm reviving an oldie. And please dont post here that you did x whatever to your cable or you bought x whatever charger... The solution is well known and documented in that regard.


I am interested in knowing if there is a software fix for this as many have pointed out some ROMS do not have this issue. I do not want to tear apart a bunch of cables and I also want to be able to charge of a generic usb or someone elses USB charger if a modified cable is not available. . Plus mine sits in a cradle so that really doesn't help me. A software fix would be much more elegant.

Thoughts? Has this been addressed already?

Thank you,
E.

I found this cab file fix, but only for WM5.

I had the same problem with a USB car charger made in China,5V 1A,plugging the original HTC data cable in that charger would not charge the phone when it was on(only when the phone was off the charging led was red).Checking the Battery Options I found that activating the option "Charge the battery when connected to computer" solved the problem.

follow the correct procedure from CHARMER WM6 WWE ROM post[/URL]:

Battery fix - enables USB charging:
1) download the fix attached
2) at least soft reset your device (i have performed HR to have clean system for valid testing results)
3) install the patch - DO NOT MAKE SOFT RESET!!!
4) press and hold power button until message "Device will be off..." appears
5) tap OK to turn the device off
6) power on your tytn, it should work normally since this - at least mine does

That problem still exist in newer versions as well.
