Do a forum search in the 'wizard' subsection. Are you using a genuine HTC mains charger? You may have to 'jump start' the battery with bare wires. Again, covered many times here so have a look about.

Use a wall charger and plug it. Leave it for a few minutes, it will start to charge up.

Errr, no, not always - like I said, a common fault posted about to death on the internet where the wizard battery needs a minimum amount of charge to start charging - meaning the battery cell has to be 'jump' started by connecting directly to a low voltage. Again, like I said, a search for the term 'battery' in the wizard forum yields many, many results, such as: http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-wizard-w...ttery-charging/ http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-wizard-w...wn-by-accident/ http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-wizard-w...-start-anymore/ etc etc QUOTE(ndwolf @ Jul 23 2007, 01:48) Take a lot at: http://www.golod.com/2006/06/cingular-8125-battery-woes/ It works for me too, PLEASE REMEMBER THE PHONE WILL NOT CHARGE UNTIL WINDOWS MOBILE IS TURNED ON AND WORKING, so give your battery enought boost using the JEFF - FRANKENSTAIN USB CUT CABLE METHOD, you can use whatever cable with MALE USB CONNECTOR AT ONE SIDE, simply cut the cable and get RED AND BLACK wires connected to battery + and - connectors (RED TO +)(BLACK TO -), hold for 3 minutes, be careful not circuit red and black cables beacuse you can harm your computer. After doing this method, i noticed it happened to me before but thanks god it worked before leaving the phone connected about 6 hours to my office computer, seem the sun tha came accross the window heated the battery and charged it (have you tried to charge AA and AAA batteries this way?), i don´t know if i were lucky that time but definitively this weekend i have not the same luck. NEVER LEAVE THE BATTERY DRAIN OUT ON HTC 8125 PHONE, BECAUSE IT WONT CHARGE BACK FROM THE PHONE YOU HAVE TO USE THIS JEFF-FRANKENSTAIN METHOD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY, ALSO NEVER TURN OFF THE PHONE TO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WONT WORK or CHARGE. HTC should ship with their phones this new cutted down cable to avoid us several problems and issues…it will be important to Jeff to patent this method because it really works and saves users to buy 1 or 2 or 3 extra batteries….Jeff maybe you should gain lots of money selling htc a bulk of this cables….. Hope this helps. M.S |

Well, I've had this happening to me in the past and the wall charger has always worked for me a few times when the battery was totally flat.

It's unlikely the battery was totally flat as such, Li-ion batteries have over and under voltage protection built into them, unless you are using a dodgy battery from china like the infamous exploding nokia clones.
Attempting to drain a Li-ion past it's undervoltage set point can damage the capacitace of the cell drastically shortening the working life. It's always best to keep the battery topped up unlike the old Ni-cd which needed to be discharged to the poor memory effect. -------------------- 3 mobile where the words "customer" and "service" only exists in the dictionary

With a HTC Wizard that is notorious for this issue? Then the battery had enough charge to start charging and wasn't completley dead. Like I said, a common fault posted about to death on the internet found with a quick search - where the mains adapter is no help and other action is needed. M.S |
