Does anyone else have problems charging their i90 phone? The car charger
works great. My first home charger (that came with the phone) kept coming
up on the phone with a "incompatible charger" message. I replaced it and
now it will work sometimes, and other times I'll let it charge all night and
it will still leave me with one "bar" and an almost dead battery. Anyone
have any ideas? Thanks.

I use both the charging cord that came with the i90c and a non-Moto desk
charger that charges both the phone and an extra battery and they both work
fine.

One thing I've noticed- the connection doesn't always seem to be solid
between the phone and the charger. I've had to make sure that the phone was
actually charging.

Check to make sure that the port doesn't have any dirt build up on it.

Been there, done that- this is more a case of the physical connection having
a little play in it. It appears to be a design spec problem, as it is a
common complaint among the 300+ i90 users at work.

Update your phone software. There is a patch for this. You can
also try and clean the contacts on the bottom of the phone, but I think
this was more of a firware issue.

remove your battery and get a Q-Tip with some rubbing alcohol and go over
the connectors and get a tooth brush and brush the connectors a few times.

desktop charger does help.
