have you gotten your phone to work yet? I'm having the same problem and took to retailer they said it has 1yr warranty & they can give me another one for $20 plus tax and that these phones have that problem. but I want to get mine fixed instead of getting a refurb phone and not knowing what problems it had. I was soooo loving my phone.

Have you tried any other chargers?

They tend to get breaks in the usb wide with heavy use or if you tend to wrap them up.

no its the connector i got it ripped apart but there is this red paint like stuff all over the connections for the usb port any one know how to get that stuff off

im thinking of taking out the proscessor that is in there and putting something with a bit more kick maybe even put qualcomm's snapdragon processor in it

yeah, the red stuff yields to nothing. i have used a stubbed (broken) xacto to carefully scrape it off.

if it's the same stuff in the razrv3.

@ drake
u can alway get a Huawei Ascend external Battery Charger
and an extra battery , that way u can switch

 

[danaj]

this is may be a little simple, but i had this problem, and all I had to do was restart the phone, and it started charging again.

 

[drake53545]

yeah i have en external battery charger and im getting an extra battery but stil its kinda nice to not have to be near an outlet all the time

I've been having charging problems for the last 2 weeks with my Metro PCS Android. It takes forever to charge, I have to position it a certain way so it can charge, and when I take it off the charger it's fully charged but, in 4 hours it's completely dead. Like right now it's dead. It's been on the charger since 4:00 pm and I went to check it 9:30 pm the phone won't even come on. I have alot of business to tend to and this the only phone I have. What can I do to stop from having this problem?

I have seen a lot of people complaining about the charging port malfunctioning. You may want to take it back to the store and have them check it.

yep its a system defect, saw a video on youtube also when i guy phone was like that and when he unplug his phone it still says charging on the screen, take it back to the and get a fresh one, dont forget if you have a flash rom on it, or its rootted, flash it back to stock before taking it in.
