N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
Hi,
N900 says 'charging' when connected to AC, and the battery icon is alive (goes up and down), but battery is not charged. When I take another battery, same thing happens... WTF... Paai |

Re: N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
have u installed advance power ?, if so try uninstalling it (do a reboot also) plug in the charger/usb ..check whether it says some thing like "not charging ..insufficient current"

Re: N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
I had the same issue a while ago.
I had to jiggle the connector to make it really charge. It turns out my phone's USB connector was failing me and a month later got loose and detached itself from the phone. I sent it back to Nokia and they sent me a new phone. I hope this is not the case with you though. |

Hi
This is precisely the same problem I am facing from the last 2 days in my N900. Were you able to resolve the issue?? Cheers Quote:

Re: N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
I had the same issue, i sent mine in and they sent it back after upgrading to PR1.3 and re-flashing it...it works 100% now. So, maybe try a re-flash?

Re: N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
The output voltage from the charger may be insufficient. This happened to me with my AC wall charger, so I replaced it with a 5V 250mAH charger, it takes a little over 5 hours to charge due to the low mAH, 1320/250=a little over 5 hours, but I read it's better to charge slow than fast, and it feels like I get better battery.
Off topic a bit, anyway, if the voltage output is lowered due to damage, which is totally possible over time with normal use, the N900 may think it's charging when it really isnt. It's worth a shot cause it's a quick, $8 solution. |
Re: N900 says 'charging', but does not charge
I recalled reading this thread sometime back, and just last night my N900 did it to me. I had it on 'charging' the whole night but the battery was not changed at all! The orange light was blinking and when I check the BatteryGraph, looks like nothing suspicious (including zero charging).
I tried again this morning and it was working as normal. D@mn weird. By the way, has anyone found out the true cause of this charging issue? I don't have Kernels or Advance power apps installed. |
