Phone not getting charge

Postby baileygrib » Sat May 12, 2012 11:05 am

When i use my mintyboost with my droid incredible 2, the phone says that it is charging, but its battery level still drops when plugged in. I tried replacing the AA batteries a few times, tried different cables, and tried different settings on my phone as well(brightness, wallpapers live/not live etc.)
Please help fix the problem or have any suggestions!
Thanks!

What kind of batteries are you using? Check the sticky FAQ at the top of this forum for battery recommendations.
Also, it is best to charge with the phone turned off. Some phones assume they are on a wall-wart charger with an endless supply of power and disable all power-saving.
