i recall seeing this problem on this forum. You are not the only one facing this problem. Either try using different chargers or different computers. If not your phone can not use 5.0 without having problems best bet back down to 4.7.
I just started having the same problem. When I first loaded 5.0 on my Storm I had excellent battery life. As of yesterday, it is barely even taking a charge with the phone shut off!!! When I charge my Storm with it powered up, I get an intermittent charge. If I wiggle the mini usb plug it intermittently starts charging so it looks like a loose connection. Brought it to the Verizon store and they said the same thing. However, with the phone shut off, the service light shows that it is consistently charging with no intermittent charge or disruption. It's easy for someone to say that it is a loose connection in the usb, HOWEVER a brand new Strom 2 was doing the exact same thing in the store, so I am not so sure at this time that this is a hardware problem. I am beginning to think that this is related to 5.0 in some way. Anyone else have any info or experience??? I am going to try a new battery to see what happens, but this is acting very suspicious. I can't even charge my Storm at this point.
I have the issue when I put it in the cradle at night there's no charging bolt then a few min later I get the usb error if I do a batt pull it works fine until later again. I also had this issue with the cig light charger in the car..
I had the same problem. Brought it back to Verizon and replaced it for a new one since it was within 30 days. This is my 1st blackberry and already had to replace the storm once! Hope this is not a bad sign!
I started getting this problem with my car charger. I don't put my phone on the wall charger as I have a batter charger on it and just rotate my batteries in and out of it. Off to read the fixes and see if it helps me out. I'll let you know!
Well, unfortunately no such luck....still won't charge. And I tried it on my wall charger and it won't charge either. Luckily I have the battery charger and two batteries!!! I'm considering downgrading...too many issues with this new upgrade!
This usb issue started with the first leak of 5.0 for Storm1. It is not on 4.7. My Storm 2 with 5.0.0.320 had the same issue until I installed the calfix.exe link in this thread. When first installed and after the automatic reboot it did not fix it; but after the next battery pull I have not had the problem since then and my connection and the phone being recognized under my computer is instant, where there use to be a 15-20 second delay. So it did fix the usb issue for me on my Storm2.
I'm having issues charging also. Twice in the past couple weeks this has happened to me while using the wall charger. The last time I didn't notice and awoke to find out it hadn't charged. I plugged it in with a USB cable at work at it charged fine. Tonight I plugged it in with a wall charger and was getting the error. I unplugged and plugged in a few times and it finally started taking a charge.
How do you run the download? Do you plug in phone to desktop manager then run program?

Same problem with mine. The same day I upgraded to 5 it started telling me about insuffecient voltage on the car charger, or no bolt/charge at all.
If I pull batt it works that one time, but not the next day.
On the upside, my battery life is MUCH better now.
