So here's my issue: I have an extra battery kit, and lately I have noticed that, when a battery is charging, after a while, the craddle would go from a steady red light to a flashing orange light. Upon inspection, there's a ticking sound coming from the wall charger.
Do you think I need to replace it?
Here's the audio
P.S. The sound you hear is with the charger not plugged in
bump
Well.. With any hardware issue. If you try a different wall charger does the same thing happen?

I just used the usb adapter for the first time today and when I plug the usb cable into the phone the adapter makes this high-pitch frequency sound. It's similar to the mosquito ringtone that teens love so much. It stops when the phone is done charging. Does anybody else have this problem?
I noticed this yesterday, but it was only when the Incredible was fully charged.
I'm cycling the battery right now, so when I plug it in again...I'll get back to this thread.
anyone else experiencing a problem with car chargers? my phone charges fine off of wall and usb charging but as soon as i plug in my car charger is lights up, 2 secs later light goes off and after that it just keeps doing it with wall and usb. i have to reboot my phone and/or pull my batter out......anyone have a solution for this?
The car charger probably can't supply enough amps or it is under/over volts causing the charge circuit to freak out.
Also noticed this behavior if phone is too hot. Refuses to charge with flashing orange light until temperature falls below a certain threshold... Seems to be around 100 degrees.

Bump!
Noticed this twice in the last couple of weeks. My wall chargers (supplied, aftermarket, Zune, etc) all work fine, as does charging from any USB port.
Car charger, on the other hand, both a Sprint/HTC aftermarket and a Walmart special, seem to have some troubles.
The EVO registers as charging, shows the charging icon, and admits to charging (AC). However, the charge never increases, and using the phone will actually decrease the charge. Left plugged in, the phone will totally discharge and automatically power off. All while the amber charging light is solidly on.
EVO: Rooted stock 2.2 with netarchy's latest BFS kernel.
Car: 2008 Nissan Maxima. Voltage fairly steady on the 12v receptacles.
What gives!
Have you tried car charging it on different kernels?
Could it be that the car doesn't provide clean, consistant power? With usb, power goes through a vreg circuit (the psu, the mobo), on a wall charger, there is a vreg circuit within the adapter that would compensate for fluctuations in AC voltage.
If I'm not mistaken, the car-to-usb adaptors are little more than a resistor circuit to cut the voltage down. The 12V provided by a car will always fluctuate, so maybe the simple resistor circuit doesn't provide adequate compensation.
Just my $0.02
My Desire has already connected to the AC but it had done nothing after an overnight charged. Any solution for this? The LED is on when it connected to the AC.
Same here since a few days
anyone with a solution?
If it is refusing to charge, maybe a dead battery or something like that? If so talk to HTC about it. Could be something else but very much unlikely.
Usb and car charger seem to work fortunately. Probably a broken ac adaptor . Strange because the orange charging led is lit while plugged in however it's not charging. Whrn I plugged in an old cigarette to usb charger in my car which resulted in amessage from the phonr cmplaining that there is not enough current. Not the case with the ac adaptor. Charging led is on but using battery instead of charging
Hi,
I've dropped my phone while charging and after that I could not charge it. What happened was that the two hooks on the mini-USB port were ripped off and the contact was imperfect. I replaced the USB-miniUSB cable and it worked, I've had no problems since. I hope that your problem is as easy as this.
I noticed that my Nexus charger makes noise when it's in the wall with my phone unplugged.
The sqeaky sound goes away when i plug in my phone.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
I'm going back to the store tomorrow for a replacement.

You actually ever came across a charger that never does any noise?

well, every charger i had was silent or at least never make a big noise like the cheap samsung one..a little noise can be normal for a charger, but hey the samsung one does a very high frequency noise..
never happened with other charger, because usually it is plugged near my bed..the first night i plugged the samsung charger i noticed it soon..
anyway it seems to happen with about every samsung wall traver charger of every phone..btw i "solved" by just plug the charger when i have to charge the phone..
I have the exact same issue. I have a socket with an on/off switch on my night stand table that I switch on/off when I need to use the charger. It's mostly to get rid of the high pitched noise though. And yes it disappears when you plug your phone in.
Mine even makes a 'discharging' squeak noise when I pull it right out of the wall socket after letting it squeak for a while. It's probably the capacitors inside charging/discharging. No harm, but annoying.

Pretty much what I'm getting, I plug my charger in and the notification LED just blinks once then turns off
Doesn't even start charging, do I need a new charger/data cable?
EDIT: It was my charging cable, now using an AC Adapter to charge my phone x)
Sounds like my charger.. Mine wont charge unless the cable is actually straight.. >.< And proper level, not curved.
Before you do anything else, try use another charger, ie a BlackBerry charger to see if its not your battery/port's broken.
