hmmm.. odd that you have to turn it off 1st..

could be the cord.. r u using the stock one that came with it, or an aftermarket non branded charger?? if its non branded, could be it doesnt have enough output to actually charge your handset while apps are running, which would explain why it only works after you turn off, then turn on..

could be your usb port.. theres been plenty of people with port issues.. you MFG warranty or your insurance can get that fixed free of charge im sure..


...lastly, mind filling in your device info??? itll help ya out in the longrun, people wont have to ask you device, carrier, etc...
