At night when I am going to go to bed and charge my phone, it sometimes takes forever to actually start charging. When i plug it in, it wont say anything or sometimes it will say Unable to Charge. Oh and the really annoying part is when you plug the charger in and the phone will say unable to charge but will go to charging right away but in reality is NOT CHARGING AT ALL. that really pisses me off. Is this just my phone?? Is it because of the manul flash i did months ago? I am thinkin about flashing it back to the verizon firmware and just returning the phone and getting a new one for manufacturer's problems. Its been only 1 year though and i have 2 year contract. I hope i woudl be able to do it. ANd its not just cause of this charging probl...

Clean the contacts with a Q-tip and alchohol.

If youcan't recharge.... I certinly wouldn't try a re-flash.... might die in the process.

I would try fastfinger's suggestion. Won't hurt and I have seen dirty contacts on the change port several time cause this. Also, clean the contacts on the charger.
