    Droid Bionic charger no longer works properly

    April 6, 2012; edited on the April 8 The Bionic could be on its way out. I've got to be realistic and prepare for that possibility. All of this turmoil may be ruining the phone's touchscreen. What do I mean by turmoil? Having to not use the Motorola-branded charger. See, I'd always used...

    Droid Bionic charger no longer works properly

    I'm a webOS refugee myself. And had similar problems (to what I'm having now) with my Pre. Took hours today, but Verizon did a fine job of making things right.

Still waiting for my new charger to come, which was under warranty and, thusly, free of charge. Prior to this dead-charger incident, the phone never took more...

    Talked to Verizon Wireless this afternoon. And, just as Dave said, they're sending out a whole new charger, for free. Should be here in two days. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk

    Droid Bionic charger no longer works properly

    1) Establishing a pattern of hardware failure, so that I won't have to remember when such and such happened 2) My Verizon store is 42 miles from here, not so easy to drop by for replacement parts 3) At this point, I'm not exactly sure of the cause. But it is likely that the AC/DC converter...
