If your battery is charging, please list the carrier you use, the rom you use, wether you plug into a wall or a USB, wether or not you changed backlight settings to run android with suspend, and anything else relevent to the situation.
Some people claim that Android charging does not work, some say it does. Personally, I would always unplug not even thinking that my battery might have been taking the charge. One day, I opened up the battery monitor and payed attention. Using the battery meter over a course of maybe 15 mins or so with a charge source plugged in, does you battery level increase? If so, post the hardware/software conditions here so we can see if this is something others that need it may be able to obtain.
To see this screen, open battery monitor to be sure the upper left corner of your screen says 100, then slide the top taskbar down to reveal the moitor. Possibly the developers can use this info... and pos it's just useless, but Here is mine.
Unplugged
Plugged in
Some time later
Note that this is a reference. Your best bet is to open the battery monitor, check your battery boltage and then put the phone down for 10 minutes. If you have a phone capable of charging, battery voltage should have increased after 10 minutes... rather than decrease. Those reporting charging capability also seem to have the graphic of a plugged in device showing "fully charged" on the phone when it is charging.
Please do not ask "WHY" your phone won't charge. Nobody knows the tie yet. That is the purpose of this thread. Some do and some don't. That's just the way it is right now. Thanks
