Q. I just received my new 4g phone and was quickly disappointed when I realized that it will not charge. I put the battery inside, plug it up to the wall only to see the battery display for a brief second, then it turns back off. It repeats this process until there is no power going into it. Can anyone help me with this?
A. the spot were you connect your charger is messed up. They fix it for free though
is it safe to use my black berry phone wall charger to charge my samsung continuum galaxy s phone?
Q.
A. Hi Theodore:
The short answer is "yes", as long as the Blackberry model you refer to uses a Micro-USB connector the same size as your Samsung's. (There are several "Mini-USB" shapes [my Blackberry uses "Mini-" not "Micro-"], and the even-smaller "Micro-USB" which the Galaxy S-series requires.)
See the illustrated Wikipedia article covering both types of small USB connectors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_1.1#Mini_and_Micro_connectors
With the small-devices industry migrating over to the Micro-USB standard connector, even the European Union has mandated that all Micro-USB devices be able to use a "Common External Power Supply" or EPS (see the Wikipedia article on this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_External_Power_Supply ).
New Y!A Contributor "Judy Zhu" is slightly off-base in her Answer: a few "smart phones" can query what device is connected to their USB ports, including the name-brand charger they were designed for (I had a Motorola/Verizon model that would "complain" about other chargers) but the +5VDC USB charging voltage is an industry standard, and a different charger won't damage your Samsung.
The only other difference between USB chargers are those (like Apple's iPod and iPhone chargers) that have smart-chips to know how to properly trickle-charge the special Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries that they use (70-80% full charge rate for about 2hrs, then trickle-charge another 2hr 'til fully-charged). Samsung has their own "quick charging" technology that allows rapid charging while the phone is "on".
You can also charge most mini-USB phones while plugged (or "sync'ed") into a running computer USB port (power-down the phone for best charging).
hope this helps,
