HTC One X crashes when charged on lower current charger

[deltaforce]

Hello folks,

As I learned always that charging battery slower is best bet to last battery longer so I started charging my HTC One X on wall USB charger attached to a surge protector (Belkin, the one I use). AFAIK, the current of these USB ports is 500mA.

I never had any problem in the past but recently, I noticed that the phone crashes when I charge on these USB ports. The charging LED is either red or green depending on charging status but after I unplug and press the on/off switch to wake up the phone, nothing happens and the LED remains lit.

Only way I can wake up the phone is to shut it down by keeping on/off switch pressed and then starting the phone. As soon as the phone starts, it tells me to send the error report to HTC.

Anybody has idea what is going on here?

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I would do a backup (see Carbon backup and SMS Backup+, free, check your contacts on Gmail web and backup your internal storage to your PC) and then do a factory data reset.

Your only concerns for damage for the setup you describe is if it's out of the voltage tolerance or a shorting usb cable. So, replace the cable.

If it's not damaged, the factory data reset may help.

If it is damaged you'll be thankful for the backups soon enough.

Do you have any spare usb ports on your computer?

Those are 500 mA and usually safe. See if it varies using that.

But no kidding on the backup, honest.

Are you talking about this app for back up?
