@move2leeds: whao! what an experience. Have you sent it to Nokia and were they able to fix it?

I took mine to Nokia Care today and they've collected it for fixing. Unfortunately, they told me I don't have warranty in Nigeria as I bought the phone from US (US warranty doesn't get down here).

I'm waiting for it to be returned working perfectly.

I am facing a similar problem. Though i have found a temporary solution to this. Wanted to describe my problem in a new thread when this thread popped up. (This thread dint show up in the power search though for some reason )

Here goes..

Connect the charger to the phone.
1.open xterm
2.type sudo gainroot
3.stop bme

it should end with waiting

4.start bme
within 10 seconds the charging notification will show. (Atleast thats what happens with mine)

Now the problem is after the battery is full and i remove the charger it still shows charging and the light keeps glowing untill i do a reboot.

Also charging works when i switch off the phone.

Does any one on the forum know what could be the problem with my phone.. Thanks a lot for helping in advance.

Any one has any idea about the problem stated above?

I have no exact idea, but am thinking a reflash may be something to try. You have shown the hardware is working to a great degree.

I did reflash the device. but the problem persists. Is there any way to test if the bq24150 chip is working fine?

Jeez! I thought this was supposed to be old news by now??

I'm having this dilemma right now....having a hard time charging it with 3 different chargers. It just won't charge at all. What to do?

Does it charge when switched off??

A leetle cryptic - are you saying one should search as this specific issue has an answer or .....

@Omkar: I spotted this link to a script. No idea if it will help you....http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=959112&postcount=1
