Default Charging issues

I've used 2 wall chargers and didn't work. I am now using the USB charger cable and phone charges. Can it be possible 2 wall units do not work with the phone now, just the USB cable?

Are you sure that the outlet has power? Is it an outlet that needs to be turned on with a light switch? I have a couple of those.

Just restart your phone. I have issues all the time where it says this source isn't charging my phone but works after a restart (alt+shift+del)

The power source is the same one I've been using and the USB cord is the only one working and I tried to reset the phone. But I have noticed the USB cord fits snug while the 2 wall chargers seem to be loose when plugged in.

Just buy one of those desktop chargers that you just sit the phone in and you will never have to use the usb plug on your phone ever again for charging.

I'd see if you can find an "official" Blackberry wall charger. Many wall chargers will work, but so many are cheap junk and won't. They need to have sufficient amperage to enable the charge function on your device.

My USB connection turned very fickle. I bought the dock and now it charges perfectly. Synching is still iffy thru USB port but at least it takes and holds a charge now.

It seems that the USB port is the weak link on most BBs. I've turned to using charging pods as the rule and save the USB connection for backups and other things taht require the direct connection.
