Slow Charging Problem

[dslayton]

Is anyone else's Charge slow to charge? My phone has been on the charger for 2 and a half hours ...untouched, and has only charger up 30 percent (from 24 to 54 percent). Is this normal? Or should I be making a trip to my local VZW?

Any phone that shows no progress on charging definitely has an issue. I would take it off the charger and plug it back in and then see what it does. I would definitely take it back if it continues.

I'm curious how you are charging it. Mine is very quick to charge when using the wall outlet, but slow when on a USB to computer.

I am charging it from the wall outlet. I am using the same charger that I used with my Droid 2. Do you guys think it makes a difference that Im not using the one that came with it?

Use the one that the phone came with. I used my BB charger on my phone and it would say 100% but it was never even close to a full charge.

I noticed mine was charging VERY slowly so I took it out of its case. It was very warm. So now I am charging it on a cool surface and it is going much faster. Still not like my original Droid fast, but faster than before.

Depending on the voltage/current rating of the droid 2 charger, it can make a huge difference. You should only use chargers properly rated for your device. To be safe, just use the Charge charger (lol).

Are you using the stock Samsung charger? The little black cube? I noticed that the first time I used mine I did not plug my USB cable in all the way, and it recognized it as a regular USB cable, not an AC adapter, and charged VERY slowly. You may wanna check the connection to the little power cube.

I was wondering about this and while I'm using the Charge's cable, I do charge it from computer USB. I'll try wall outlet and see if it makes a difference.
