I had a simliar experience.

First day with the N900 it charged with the wall charger. Then back and forth the wall charger would work one charging session, then not another (the USB cable to connect to a laptop or desktop consistently worked, just not the wall charger). I used the same outlet each time so it's not that. The sessions where the wall charger failed, the N900's screen DID light up upon plugging the wall charger, but the battery wouldn't charge (no usual "charging" banner across the screen, and the battery indicator bars didn't rise as it normally does as it's charging).

I was close to sending a refund request to exchange the product but decided to look around in this forum first. I didn't find any similar experiences here but since then my wall charger has worked fine (knock on wood). That's less than two weeks of owning this device.

Maybe you should exchange it for a working product.

I have had the same problem now for 2 days.
I can charge the phone with both the USB cable and the USB adapter (the one you use to connect to an older wall charger). But charging does not work with the direct wall charging.

I guess this is a software bug. Anyone know if this has been acknowledged by Nokia?

I'd guess it was a faulty wall charger actually. Have you tested with another charger, or tested the charger with another device?

Nope. I've tried with different wall charges (which work with other phones) _and_ I've tested that if I just use an old charger (barrel charge) and the USB adapter (that came with the phone) the phone *will* charge normally.

I'm inclined to think that it is SW bug because the USB charging is working with both Laptop+USB and old charger + USB adapter.

Anyone else seen this?

Kinda. My DC-10 car charger exhibits a bit randomness. Replugging it eventually makes phone charge.

When i use a cheap charger (At my dads house) I have to replug it in a few times to get it to work. And when i use my Exs Moto Cliq Charger, same problem.

Rip battery out,

Hold power button for 30 seconds (Jst like a bios reset.)

Wip charger back in, give it 5 minutes juice or leave it the rest of the day,

Power it up, it should be that easy!

Yes, I have seen that banner when connecting it through USB cable to the laptop.

My phone was fine since I got it. Only recently has it been acting up (iE not charging or harge for a bit then stop and start again) and tonight when i got back home fom work i charged my phone only to realize it wasn't charging. (using both the wall charger and the one connecting to the PC.

I have noticed that when i connect to charge, the USB is a bit loose/wobbly but hasn't been much of a problem till now. I'm contacting nokia tomorrow to see what my options are for warranty repair work and try out my friends charger to see if it works.
