Guest xeno1 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Sounds to me like it's not the batteries. It sounds like it's the charging port that went bad. If you have a t-mobile dealer nearby you might see if they can test it. Does it still sync? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using a Razr charger and it doesn't charge? D'Oh Use an MDA charger and you might fiond, as if my magic, all of a sudden it works What made you think a Razr charger would work? just because it's mini USB? It plugs in therefore it should work? If you'd mentioned the fact that you weren't using a real charger in the first place maybe you would have got an answer quicker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeno1 Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Even if the razor charger doesn't work, which I would think it would as long as it has the right voltage although I wouldn't garantee that since I've never tried it, your MDA should still charge itself while it's being synced. If it's not doing that, then there's probably a problem with the mini usb port on the phone itself. A t-mobile dealer should be able to verify that pretty easily and let you know what to do from there. I don't know if you have any warranty left or not or how much they'll charge you for repairing it, but you can get a desktop charger that has a spare battery charger compartment for around $30 it think. that might be the cheapest and easiest fix especially since you said that you already have 2 batteries that way you can just keep one in the charger and not worry about charging one in the phone at all. Here's a link to a desktop charger I found on ebay so you can see what I'm talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/For-T-Mobile-MDA-Twin-...tem250096218686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mcwarre Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 which I would think it would as long as it has the right voltage Nope. You'll find that with these devices it is the current output that matters. A charger may output the correct voltage but it needs sufficient current to charge properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mcwarre Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Dont tell me what and what i can write ...i never use bad language....so if u cant handle it...Mind Ur Own Buisness..... ;) Firstly, get your facts right. I didn't tell you what you could and couldn't write - I was rather polite. You should try it you might learn something. Secondly, this is an open forum and if you are going to be aggressive and attempt to tell me what to do at least spell business correctly. Please read this prior to responding.

A charger may output the correct voltage but it needs sufficient current to charge properly Actually that's true. I was basing that on the assumption that since the razr charger also charges blackberry batteries that it would have a reasonably equivalent output amperage but I just looked up the specifications and the output amperage is only half what the MDA's chargers output is. That means sergioakakobe that while your razor charger is probably charging your battery to a certain extent it wont charge it to where it will be useable for any length of time and could possibly harm your phone. If you did get it to start charging with the razr charger then it should charge with the sync cable too and that would charge it correctly. As for the language and attitude comment mcwarre, I completely agree, with the exception that confucious should have been included in that statement too especially concidering this was sergioakakobe's first post. This is probably his first PPC and didn't know any better. And, sergioakakobe, now that I just reloaded the page and saw your last post there, I'm pretty sure mcwarre was just kidding around with that comment in the first place (notice the ;) at the end of the statement). This is a place for people to ask questions and get answers. I've been coming here for about a year now and have read probably thousands of posts and with the exception of cofucious's post to you (which I can't actually blame you for being a little upset about) I have never seen anyone flame anyone else. I hope you don't plan on being one of the first to start flaming because you won't get a lot of help from people or worse yet you could end up with help that puts your phone out of commission for quite a while. There's a lot of people around here that know exactly what to do to make your phone stop working if they want to. Take it easy and don't take thing's so seriously and you'll get a lot of help from people around here when you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I was basing my posts on the fact that the internal wiring of the cables on SPVs - certainly up to and including the C500 where it was discussed in some depth, was different to that odf most other phones. USB cables from other phonnes did not work with C500's and the charger from my Universal did not work with a Razr last time I tried it about a year ago. AFAIK nothing has changed but if you have got a Razr charger working with your phone obviously something has and my stupidity knows no bounds. It is nice to know that you know longer have to wire the two pins together on a "standard" USB to Mini USB cable in order to get them to charge and that varios and/or razr chargers are so different now to a year ago that they actually work together. Plase accept my humble appologies fro being so stupid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeno1 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hopefully I didn't offend you too much confucious. I just thought it was a little mean the way you answered sergioakakobe first ever post. To be honest, like I said, I didn't know if the razr charger would work or not and I had never read anywhere that the wiring for the chargers were different. When I first got my MDA I did go and buy a razr/blackberry car charger with the thinking that since they had the same plug it would charge my phone too since that was the way all the chargers worked for all my other phones but until 20 min ago I had never even taken it out of the package. When I read your last post though (which by the way was way more informative) I decided to take the car charger out of the package and see what was up. What I found was that when I plugged it in the orange charge light does come on as if it is charging and the battery screen also says that it's charging. Now whether it is really charging or not I don't know because I didn't leave it on there long enough to find out. It's cold and rainy outside right now and I didn't feel like sitting in my car long enough to find out and I definitely didn't want my phone to sit outside by itself in my car where it could just walk away.

Guest Confucious Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 It was Monday morning, I was in a rush and not in a good mood, I probably could have been a bit kinder and deserve the flames. For a bit more info on USB see: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=115090&st=20 and http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=115098 As USB is used for data and charging it's not as straightforward as a normal charger. There have been many other threads on the subject but these seem to cover most of the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeno1 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Thanks. I'll have to take a look at those. I can definitely understand not being in a good mood on your way to work, that's where I'm headed right now. It'd be nice not to have to work for a living.

Guest xeno1 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Wow, that was quite a bit of reading there. There was on guy on the last page of the first post you sent me to that said his wife's razr charger worked on his C500. I guess the question is that would my MDA tell me that it was charging even though it wasn't when I connected it to the razr car charger that I have? Actually it's not that big of a deal because I have a DC to AC converter in my car for just this kind of thing and all I'd have to do is throw my mains charger in my car and that would solve that problem right there.

Guest Confucious Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 There have been other posts on the subject - I thought those 2 were enough to start with - lol I didn't think they did work and I know that when i tried my O2Exec charger (which is the same as my C500/550/600 chargers) in a mates Razr last year it didn't work. But the guy who made the first post says the razr charger works in his phone, so I must be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeno1 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I'll have to try it out one of these days when I have time and see if it does or if it's just tricking my MDA in to thinking it's charging which sounds like that's probably the case. I think there was one guy in the second post you sent me to that said his would do that and after 5 min or so it would show that it was full and then drain back to nothing within a few minutes.
