T715 won't recharge?

[#1]

When I plug in my T715 (purchased in May), it won't recharge anymore.  At first, it will act as if I have just unplugged the charger, then say 'charging' once I've unplugged it!  I managed to get it plugged in and say 'charging' last night but the display still reads as a low battery signal.  I know people have had problems with the way the charger plugs in, but i've been super careful to always remove it as described in the manual!

What should I do?  I'm on vacation in PEI and there is no FIDO store here.  I desperately need my phone though.

Thanks.

The only thing I think it would be is the fastport which is a hardware related problem and would need to be seen by someone in a repair centre.

same thing happened to me.  this phone is defective and sony ericsson needs to do something about it.  i sent mine in for repair and it works now, but clearly with all the people experiencing the same issue, there is something wrong.  i remove it as the manual describes as well and have had no issues for 5 months now.  heres hoping it stays that way.

Thankfully it's not so bad as all that.  I removed the battery again, the sim card too, and put everything back.  It works fine...for now!  Then I was off internet for awhile, but thanks for the input.

I think the connectors are terrible- the wires are so delicate and the recommended angled removal is pretty dodgy.

I had the same problem, its a design flaw. You can work around it by charging your phone over a USB cable. Also do not drain the battery till it reaches red area or phone shuts down. Connect it to a charger as soon as it starts low battery audio alarms. You may buy a third party battery charger that allows you charge the battery away off the phone. Finally get another phone!
