Hi everyone!

I wanted to tell you something that's been really bothering me the last couple of days.

I was using my phone as usuall, and then at night, i left it on Stand by mode, charging, and, the next morning, the battery was totally dead. I wasn't able to charge it on my wall plug, because it wasn't getting any electricity! and then i charged it via USB on my computer and it worked perfectly.
Later that day, i tried to charge it with my wall charger and i couldn't, so i asked one of my workmates to borrow his charger and it worked perfectly!
So today, i went and bought a new charger, and instead of charging, it keeps consuming more of my battery!!!!!!
I'm freaaking out!!!

Can you tell me what the heck is happening to my phone???

THANKS!

Make sure you get a real HTC U250. HTC might send you a replacement if you call them and ask sweetly. Anything that is a proper AC charger, 5W or more, 1A (1000mA) or more should do. I found -- perplexing though it is -- that the supplied HTC cable. T500, charges better than other no-name cables.

While you're charging, go to Settings | Power ... it should say "Charging (AC)." If is says otherwise, e.g. "Charging (USB)" while plugged into a wall charger, the charger isn't a proper fast-charge charger.
