Sounds like a bad cable man

great, just checked walmart and they don't seem to sell them in stores, so I'm out a charger
Also check the USB port and make sure they're clean. Over time they get full of dust and dirt. But I would lean more towards it being a bad cable as strapped said.
Bad port or bad charger or bad battery. While the phone is on and plugged into AC power, remove the battery and see if it stays on.

Try actual electronics or computer stores like BestBuy, Radio Shack, MicroCenter, or any of those mom & pop stores that might be nearby.

Heya,
So when my girlfriend plugs her inspire into her laptop it says the phone is using too much voltage/current than what its being provided so it wont charge... Though when i am at her house and charge my vivid with her wall plug i feel like my phone charges a lot more slowly.. Could this be a cable problem for her or an electrical problem?
She lives in a older house so that made me wonder if it could be electrical or something...
I also just recently got it back from HTC because of a dead motherboard and i charged it at my house no problem...
The phone is running WCX Sense 3.5 1.5ghz ROM if that brings any light on the subject
Edit: was a cable/wall charger problem and is fixed
Make sure that you are using the original cable. Some USB cables do not work properly...try using a different one to see what happens

Thanks for your reply
I know for sure that cheap after market chargers (like Chinese ones I know for sure) can fry your phone because of a voltage problem lol

I have just tried to charge my tablet but it's not working, I have tweaked the prongs but still no joy.
Any suggestions before I phone ASUS or buy a new one which are expensive
Thanks

id blame the cable first, if you have already cleaned the plug and port. I would phone asus and see if you can sweet talk customer service into sending a new charging cord.

It's never the cable, always the charger.
This is a known issue and has been discussed to death hundreds of times. Buy a non Asus charger, spend 20 bucks, you won't regret it. enercell makes a real good 12v charger.

I'm a day one infuse user. Its been a great phone. But my issue is I recently adopted a little kitty and she runs around like normal little kitties do. Well she ran by and drug my infuse off my night stand and it must have landed on the plug while it was charging. (feels sloppy and bent) Surprisingly my phone still charges fine but I'm contemplating taking the phone apart and seeing what the issue is.
So my question is the phone worth taking apart and repairing the phone myself considering it still works/charges.
A little background. I'm semi technologically advanced. I'm a system administrator in an IT department. I have no issues with soldering on the insides of my phone Anyone else had this issue and repaired their plug.
If it has not been done I will be willing to take some photos and show how i did it.
You never actually stated the problem your experiencing...only that it has some dent/bent thing near the charger...

Plugging the charger into the charge port on the phone feels loose and sloppy. With the charger plugged in the cable is actually pointed down a little bit instead of a straight in shot.

Have you tried another charger? The tip of that charger could be what's bent and not fitting into the phone right.

Yes, I have multiple chargers laying around the house and at work.
You say the phone still charges, but will it connect to a computer and loads drivers??
Just a thought...

It is not the wall charger because I connected it to the PC and the same thing..

Try a new battery. Call att and see if they will send you a new one. Batteries don't last forever.

Are the three stock batteries. If you can, try the stock battery in another cell.

My Inspire does nor charge from pc or wall charger with a data capable cable if I leave all the radios on. In airplane mode it will or if I use a cable that has data disabled. When in usb charge mode, the phone will charge at 500 mA max, which may not be enough to power the phone and charge the battery .

have you tried a different micro-usb charger?
So a post was made because it won't charge ? O god I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
it might be the USB CABLE as i had the same problem..
my phone shows that it was charging with the orange LED light on, but the battery would'nt recharge. But after getting a new USB CABLE, it started charging.
so I suggest you to try/buy a new USB Cable
this site is quickly becoming a general user troubleshooting and help forum. maybe if people just called the phone manufacturer first most of thier problems would be fixed faster haha

I know for a fact that the USB cable is the problem because I used a WD MyPassport cable to charge my phone and it worked fine, but the original cable was showing all signs of charging when it was actually discharging it

Very true about the usb cable, also I've learned that sometimes the contacts inside of the charging port become very dirty and if you have a brush small enough you could potentially resolve the issue of it not charging....then there's also the problem with it possibly being the battery, my mother, sister, and fiancee all have or had issues with the batteries and had 2 of them replaced.

My friend threw her phone on charge for the whole night and woke up this morning to find her battery level low. This isn't the first time it happened either. What could cause this?

Try a different charger? Also, if the phone was charged by USB, use the wall charger instead. Some USB ports may cut power when the computer is asleep, etc. For instance, I usually connect my phone to my PC using the USB ports on my monitor (just because they are conveniently located). Those ports get shutdown when the computer goes to sleep, which I always forget.

Well she plugs into the wall, never the computer. And the charger she uses is the charger that came w/ the phone. If its the charger that could possibly be the issue then I'll tell her to get it swapped out at an at&t store but I really don't think that's the issue honestly

Chargers can definitely just crap out, even if new. MicroUSB chargers are pretty common, and I've used ones for other devices (like my Motorola Bluetooth headset) on my One X just fine. If you have another MicroUSB charger laying around, its worth checking (just to eliminate the charger as the cause) rather than having to run to the store.
Otherwise, its possible there is something wrong with the microUSB jack on the phone itself, or some other hardware or software problem with the phone. If the charger is not the problem, backup personal data and factory reset the phone. If the problem still occurs, I'd recommend getting a warranty replacement.

Can you confirm that there was a "lightning bolt" in the battery icon in the status bar? If it's charging, there should be a lightning bolt in it. Check when you plug in the charger and just before unplugging it. If the lighting bolt is missing then most likely there is no current going into the device to charge the battery. It could also be a bad battery if the charger is working fine.

Are you absolutely sure the power outlet was switched on? May seem like a silly question but I've done it before.

Yes there was definitely a lightning bolt when it was on. And is it possible to wipe the battery stats even if the phones not rooted?
