Dear all,

I have a major issue with my N9 64GB regarding flashing and charging. I can compare my device against a "working" device and see different behaviour between both.

1. Charging

Steps to verify this:

- Device is ready (you see application icons, you are connected to wifi and GSM)
- Shutdown the device by holding the power button for a few secs. The device shows the Nokia logo, the led stays turned on until it has been shut down
- I plug in the original charger. The defective device shows the Nokia logo and starts up (no USB icon shown) whereas the second working device shows at the same situation a small USB logo (upper right corner) which vanishs after a few secs and then starts charging (ACT_DEAD). This is the correct behaviour (as as it is for my N900, too).

- On the defective device I had a look at the cmdline options after start up (which should not happen, see above). The bootreason was sw_rst (Software reset, however at /var/lib/dfme/stats/* I do not get any application that caused the reboot)

My guess is now that when I plug in the A/C charger on the defective device a kernel oops causes a sw_rst which restarts the device and boots it up (this is supposed to be the default behaviour on sw_rst reason).

2. Charger connected to device when it is booted

When MeeGo is booted up and I connect the wall charger to the defective device it shows me a popup to use it as mass storage or sync it up. On the working device this popup never ever shows up when the wall charager is connected.

3. Flashing impossible!

Due to this weired charging and booting issue I can not get the device into flashing mode. On the other hand I am not really sure if flashing would solve this issue since I didnt modify the device at all (just a few apps and additional maps). My idea was to re-flash kernel and nolo, but I failed, because of the charing issue I wanted to solve this way

So it seems to be some hardware / software error that causes this trouble. What I read here a TMO some of us have the same problem and would never ever be able to flash the device in case they need a fresh Meego setup. This failure might be because of hardware tolerance and the usb/charging kernel driver, so I am not sure how this can ever be fixed?

Thanks for your help!

I used to get the pop-up for mass storage and sync sometimes when I plug the charger, but in my case, the USB port had dust or something in it... and cleaning it solved the issue for me...

Yea.. my device is rather new so I hope there is hopefully no dust or whatever inside. I am really wondering if this is a USB hardware issue? Well, thanks anyway, I will have a closer look at the usb connector and blow some air inside
