Default Charging issues

I'm loving my razr so far with the exception of some charging problems. Firstly I find that when using the phone when charging from the mains it is generally unresponsive and erratic.

Secondly my phone charged from a usb cable for the first hour or so and then it wouldn't charge anymore?

Thinking of sending my phone back in exchange for a galaxy nexus but I really do love this phone...

I noticed it was not charging on my buddy's pc yesterday (first time I've ever seen this), and when I plugged it into my charging dock later, it still didn't start charging. My battery was pretty low so I rebooted it and it started working again


Other than that I haven't had charging issues

I've now tried it out over the weekend with different cables and PC's, the results are erratic. It only sometimes charges via other cables. I can see from the charging status it is not getting as much voltage as it does when it charges normally.

On the plug/cable that came with it though it seems to always work. Maybe not a dealbreaker but irritating that I'll have to carry the same charger everywhere?

I am also having this same issue. I am currently using the charger and cable that the phone came with and it's not charging. I also multiple other chargers and cables all with the same specs and it's odd, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I have reboot the phone multiple times today and the phone just seems to stay at the same battery level while plugged in. The last two times this happened it seemed to correct itself eventually but it's getting quite annoying.
