All charging issues solved

This may have already been talked about but I too am having certain charging issues with this phone. as well as battery life issues.

The stock wall charger/usb cable stopped charging phone in ac outlet after the 2nd day I had the phone.

Well I just figured out today that for whatever reason a dedicated ac charger to micro usb from another phone immediately started to charge my phone. So it seemed that eliminating the usb cable from the equation fixed the wall charging issue.

Before I figured that out I purchased an external charger off ebay. I havn't got it yet so can't say how well it works but heres the link. eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

an figured external means battery gona have to be out of the phone so I purchased this beast of a spare battery which is almost 3x stock battery capacity. This battery lasts all day and I been using the music player like 6-7 hrs a day, with txting an surfin the web. Im very happy with it. Heres the link eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Plus it not bad idea to have fully charged spare battery on hand if it dies unexpectedly. Now I got this all figured out now i just have to get the damn thing to b recognized by my computer.
 
that battery looks very nice. A mA rating that should have come stock. I'll pick one of these bad boys along with the external charger. Thanks for the heads up =)
 
I'd just like to add that I just recieved the external charger today. Took lil over 2 weeks to get here. I put stock battery in it, seemed to charge it pretty fast.

However I went to put the extended battery mentioned above and it will not work. It has to do with the side the pins are on inside the phone that connect to battery. The stock battery charges bc it is in the external charger flipped upside down from the way it would sit in the admire back. I.e. with the extended batter flipped upside down the pins are like a battery with up in the air. So i'm considering either slightly modifying the charger or just killing myself bc it don't seem to matter what accessory I buy for this phone it just doesn't quite work as intended. Close but not entirely.

Just run some high quality wire to the correct terminals. Shouldn't be an issue.
