Phone will not charge!

Starting last night my phone will not charge using the home charger. I don't know why or what caused it to stop working. I plugged it into my car charger to see if it would charge and it did. I don't know if it is just my phone or not but the home charger is very loose when plugged into my phone. the car charger is not like this. Anyone else have this issue or is my phone possibly messed up? Only had the phone about a month and a half now!

It is one of two things:

- The connection between the phone and the charger.
- The Power source itself

If you are using your home charger then substitute another USB to mini-USB cable instead of the one you are using right now and test to make sure it is not just the power source. If you still have power problems after substituting the cable then it is definitely the power source.

Try to charge using your PC instead in this case.

Try a different usb cable hooked into the home adapter, maybe it's just the home charger, especially if the car charger is working, I'd lean towards the home charger versus the phone if the car charger works fine.

Are you using the charger Verizon provided? I had this happen a few times using that particular one and it turned out that the piece with the prongs on it (the metal tabs that go into the wall socket) was not seated all the way into the base (the piece with the cable that goes into the phone).

Are you certain that your electrical bill was paid? Just trying to cover all the bases, nomesayin?
