I was wondering if anyone can be of help to me cos when i use the usb/ wall charger to charge the phone and after i have disconnected from the pc or the wall socket, the battery will still be charging. What could be the possible cause, is it the charger/usb fault or the usb port is broken....

News flash.
I am still without a phone.
I have requested that my N900 should be changed with an E7, but I have not heard from Nokia since.
Also, for you that need a replacement phone to sell to buy something new, know that the replacement device, in the EU anyway, has 2 years guarantee from Nokia. And that you should request something like a receipt for the replacement phone and a 2-year guarantee. (I turned into a law scholar for godamn nokia...)
i was very mad, i called to nokia and asked "how i now suppose to code or do things with phone with Symbian lol, and how i go to partys without FM-Transmitter/spotify combination.. so they said they cant do anything about it.
There is no n900 there available anymore, and PCB also not available, so be careful with usb port. Only solution is sell E7 and get second hand n900 (like i done).. but how long there is N900:s...

Hi there,
my USB port also broke of.
I managed to solder a replacement port on the PCB. Now I have some problems, that the N900 will not always recognise when I plug the wall charger in. In that case, it will not charge.
What is even more strange: IF it is charging, it will not recognize when plug the wall charger OFF - it keeps thinking to be charging.
Rebooting helps then, so I can live with that. But still, very strange..
Any idea, whats going on there?

After experimenting, I can now give a slightly more detailed description of the behaviour:
1.) When booting with wall charger, the phone does charge. When I unplug the wall charger it will STILL indicate that it is charging. It will NOT recognize being plugged to PC via USB.
2.) When booting unplugged, it will act normally, that is, it will recognize being plugged into a PC. Mass storage mode works, PC suite I cannot tell at the moment. However, it will NOT recognize the wall charger being plugged in, it does not appear to be charging.
btw ... is this the correct thread for such a more technical question?

We have warned everyone and you just do not listen
The usb port WILL break no matter what you do or how carefull you are as it is only a matter of time so PLEASE PLEASE get inside of it and solder the jacket of the usb port re the instructions which are VERY clear to understand.

I will check the connections again, however, I do not believe that it will help.
1.) Phone does charge, when plugged into wall charger while booting, so GND and +5V are ok
2.) If booting unplugged, I can transfer files in mass storage mode, so Data+ and Data- are ok.
Thats why, I would think it is something more complicated.
Sorry, if I miss something obvious.
