Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 It doesn't rain - it pours !!! Phone not charging through USB - ok I thought - charge it from wall socket, still no joy. Changed USB lead - still no joy !!! Any ideas or will I have to return the phone - hope not, every Argos near me (Manchester) sold out - nearest one with 1 in stock is either Prescot or Bell Vale in Liverpool !!!
Guest v1pEr Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 If it doesn't charge when device is turned off I'd hurry to install stock rom before your juice runs out
Guest wrtease Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 you might use a nokia battery as a last resort ,have heard they work somewhere. just till you get sorted out.
Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 It stays at 4% when the cable is in and the socket swiched on - Is there a definitive stock rom here on the forum ? Thanks in advance If it doesn't charge when device is turned off I'd hurry to install stock rom before your juice runs out

Thanks in advance I had a problem with this, turned out to be the charger itself, using one from a broken blade I inherited. Sent from my ZTE Skate using Tapatalk
Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks but doesn't matter if I plug it into charger or USB port of PC it says 4% charging but doesn't actually charge ! Have tried reflashing with 2.5 and pulled battery out etc. but still the same !!! I had a problem with this, turned out to be the charger itself, using one from a broken blade I inherited.

Guest PedroVader Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Have you tried a different cable, the stock ones are really poor quality, when I use the PC I've got a really good quality Sony ericcson one. Sent from my ZTE Skate using Tapatalk
Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Yeah, tried that - same result. Looks like the Mrs will have to go and visit her parents tonight and make a slight detour to Prescot !!!

Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Tch ! Typical - bloody thing started charging again now right after the Mrs agreed ! Not sure I want to keep it now as the same thing happened yesterday ! Yeah, tried that - same result.

Guest dragonxpress Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 And stopped again now that I have reflashed to Atomic 3c !!! Anybody else have this issue ? Tch !

Guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 It could be the battey itself that is faulty. You can pick one up on ebay for around 10 pounds.
Guest dragonxpress Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Got fed up in the end, rang local Argos asking if they would get me the one from the Prescot store but they tell me they have a brnde new one on display and that I could just get it swapped - was round like a whippet and result ! Just in the process of unlocking and installing Atomic 3c Happy days ! It could be the battey itself that is faulty. You can pick one up on ebay for around 10 pounds.
Guest tilal6991 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Good to see it all worked out in the end.
