I need someone with a wing to test something for me, please.

I've got a wing with charging issues. I was wondering if someone with a wing could test something for me.

Will the wing run if it's plugged into the wall charger, and then has the battery removed?
Will the wing stay running in standby, plugged in, and has the battery removed, replaced, then is brought out of standby?

My wing recognizes when it's plugged in but instead of saying "charging" in power it just says A/C Only and continues to drain the battery. Also the red (Orange?) charging led does not light up. It's odd, and I would like some help with the above questions to try and ascertain what may be the problem.

Thanks!

Wall charger and then battery removed- Yes

Standby, plugin, battery removed/replaced, out of standby- yes

Its possible that your wall charger is not supplying enough power to the device to get it have a positive charge deficit on the battery drain. This might happen if the circuit is already full of other things or if you are plugging it into a power strip or surge protector.

Thank you very much for your time. I tried it in two outlets with nothing else in them and no dice. The charger is rated at 5v 1000ma so it shouldn't have trouble. Is the OEM charger made by delta?

It charges my other phones with a miniusb connector fine though, and I've tried two chargers on my wing. I think it's either the battery or something wrong with the phone.

One last thing, with the phone off and no battery in, will it start up when plugged in?

Thanks!

when i say that the wall is not supplying enough power, i'm saying that the cannot physically supply the kind of power that the wing needs to get charging. Its not really a matter of the charging unit or anything.

try (believe me this is a definitive test) going into a completely empty house and plugging your device in. If it doesnt charge, its probably hardware related.

By the way, it WILL start when plugged in. At least normally, i do believe.

Are any of the chargers you tried specifially made to charge the wing? I used to have a razr and figured that car charger would work since it has the same miniusb but it does not charge my phone.

Just a thought.

Turns out i was wrong
if you take out the battery while plugged in, the phone will turn off.

Therefore i assume i was wrong about everything else too.

But seriously, i have no idea why it wouldnt charge. Call'em up and you might get a free replacement. I did (not for this issue though)

Oh! That makes me feel a little better. I've got what I think is an oem charger (If anyone else has a oem one, see if it's made by delta, if not then the guy who sold this to me may have given me the wrong charger) but I don't understand why it wouldn't charge off my computer back when it was at 70% either.

I've got a new battery coming in, so if that doesn't fix it I'll call em up.

Try to charge the phone while it's off. If the orange light goes on, then it should be charging.
