Question [Question] - If the phone is in MAGLDR Menu and Usb is connected to the power?

Shouldn't the orange light be on?

Also if the phone is off shouldn't the orange light be also on?
(with the power charge usb on)

When in MAGLDR you will NOT see the power led.

If you let your phone totally die and can't start it boot to MADLDR and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to charge first.


Couldn't tell you about the last question. If USB is plugged in on my HD2 the phone will not power off, only reboot.

I will try to answer your last question with my HD2 running XBmod. When the phone is off and I connect it to charger, it will turn on at once, and then charge. It's not likely that with magldr you can charge the phone while it's off.

Somebody says in another thread which I cannot remember, that magldr does not allow turn-off-charging. Please correct me if I mess something here.

Hello,

Well it seems that my phone USB port is a bit loose or something like that..

Since the cable only charges it in a certain position.

Also I used a usb cable from a an LG phone and it's not good at all...
Didn't charge the battery, and yes the light of charge is on...

Like in the car when I plug it, the charging is almost nothing...
This also happens with usb charge on the pc...

But this is what I notice...
I'm not using the usb cable from htc.

The USB cable can be important regarding to charge. I have a Nokia Micro USB cable and another one just standard and nameless, maybe from BlackBerry og Samsung.

The nokia one with my HTC charger giver only around 50 mah when charging, observed by using HTC Battery Tool. It takes a whole night to charge battery full, and some times even still not full when I get up on the morning. And if I use the phone while charging, Battery Tool even shows that my phone is consuming battery.

The nameless one charge my phone with 500-800 mah and it takes exactly 2 hours to charge a battery from 30% remaining power to full. So I never use the Nokia one to charge my phone.

DONATE TO ME
I had a similar issue, I cant be bothered pulling the cable apart but I suspect that a generic 2 wire usb "charging" cable wont cut the mustard, it possibly needs to be a 4 wire connection, all be it it only needs two of them to charge

as for your other questions, its all to do with MAGLDR

if the phone is OFF and you plug it in it "should" charge yes, but it wont if you have MAGLDR installed
If the phone is in MAGLDR or the bootloader for that matter, it will charge, all be it the light wont come on.

what isn't clear is if in bootloader or MAGLDR the device is capable of autocut off, ie, turning the charge to trickle charge once full, so my advice is that when charging in bootloader or magldr, only do it for 20 min or so then boot to your OS and continue the charge from there.

Well I now have adocking station to recharge the battery, got also a new battery...

The battery recharging is solved...
But the usb on my phone is ****ed up... since I need to "bend" the phone a bit for the light to turn on, but it only charges at Battery Current 250 - 300....

Ah well it's not a perfect world...

It sucks a bit that WP7 consumes the battery so fast...

Just don't bend it anymore or the USB will fall off the board. Data connection may become impossible to repair depending on the damage. And you will have yourself a permanent windows phone.
