Guest BrideOfTheAtom Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hi. Was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem to me. I can't get my vivacity to charge via USB anymore. It will sit at around 2% but go no further or worse it will drain the battery quicker when it is plugged into the wall. Also if I try and turn on the phone plugged in but without the battery in it just keeps rebooting to the green android logo over and over again. I recently lost my original USB cable and bought a cheap one off the market, is it possible this is the cause? I've never really known a bad USB cable before! Any comments would be welcome!

Guest PsYcHoKiLLa Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I would blame the cable to be honest, Go somewhere like Maplin and get a replacement, at least then you have somewhere reputable to take it back if need be. It is a bit pricey to be honest, maybe http://www.maplin.co...sb-leads-383845 Or an HP one from PC World... http://www.pcworld.c...624654-pdt.html Slightly cheaper. Or even if you have one of those guys at a stall in a shopping centre that does phones, I know there's one near me and I'm guessing there will be one near you.

Guest BrideOfTheAtom Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah I might have to venture out tomorrow and see if I can acquire a new one. Might see if I can borrow my mates first just to verify that is the problem. I hope it is as I was getting quite excited about all the ICS action on the CM9 thread at the moment! UPDATE: So I borrowed a cable from my mate, phone charged, mystery solved! Edited April 5, 2012 by BrideOfTheAtom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fr0do Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I bought a cheap back up charging plug/ lead and that lasted about 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
