Charging Goofyness

[jmfolcik]

Try this, Power off the phone with it plugged into a charger.
It'll boot the charging screen. Hold the power again to boot it back up, leaving it still plugged into charger.

Once it finishes booting mine constantly flickers between charging and not charging, whenever I boot it up with it connected to the charger, until I just pull the usb cable and then plug it back in again.

Would like to have others try it, to see if its a software glitch.

Mine charges just fine. Sounds like you may have a screwy phone

Does your phone have any other anomalies? Is this annoying enough for you to return?

I found it doesn't happen with every charger, I have a 5V 1A charger that I like to use that does this. Hooked up a little samsung one and it didn't do it, so it must just be something goofy in the smarts of the other charger (its an apple one)

Who out there uses a different than stock charger and what kind? I was very unhappy with it, it seemed very slow the first day so I abandoned using it, but if it was just in my head I could try it again.

Apple stuff can be a bit weird. I use different chargers from other phones with no issue
