my charging cradle won't work and I wanted to see if anyone else's worked

Mine works fine, but I had also purchased the one that the ac adaptor plugs directly into the device, and the AC adaptor was bad. If you have a multi-tester, make sure the ac adaptor is working.

No problem with mine, but it might not be your cradle. They had a batch of units that shipped with faulty batteries. I bought two of these radios - in one, the battery only charged enough for about 18 hours of use. The battery in the other unit didn't charge at all. Midland sent out free replacement batteries. Contact Midland at 816-241-8500.

My charging cradle works but the incredibly stupid battery icon never changes (by design, I have read).

I called Midland and they shipped another battery for mine. My charger was working when I received mine but the battery was not.

my Cradle Doesn't Work Ether. You Have To Plug Into The Radio Directly. The Cradle Is Junk. Just A Place To Hold The radio. Good News It Does Get Emergency Calls.

yes, my cradle works. the rechargeable battery that came with my unit would not hold a charge so the seller said to call midland, they are sending me a new battery. call midland, if it is still under warranty they might send you another one.

Can not really answer you on that ine. I would probably either try another charging unit to see if that was the problem or else send it back, I did find that the batter life is not what I had hoped it would be as it seemed to last about 3 hours but not much longer. That was/is my one disappointment with the unit...Barbara

Good luck. Mine failed twice at the plug where the charging USB cord plugs in. It came apart, and I could no longer charge the unit.

Both of mine were loose but still charged. Now both chargers no longer work. Anyone bought a replacement charged? If so, which one?

Have you tried the reset button? It's a little pin hole on the bottom. Also as weird as it may sound I've removed and replaced the SD card when having various issues with mine including not taking a charge or coming on and things worked fine after that. Makes no sense to me but that has worked. Goes with out saying but are you sure the charger is still working?

My phone charges when I plug it in via the cradle. (iPhone 3GS). Not sure why yours won't.

Mine works great. You may have a defective charger. I would exchange the item for another one

When you turn the ear speaker to fit the charging cradle,it's off. In other words, turn the speaker ninety degrees and it,s off. Good luck.

I had problems with mine not charging- the 15% power light kept blinking no matter how long it was charged and despite the light that indicated it WAS charging going off; I ultimately returned it. A few other people seem to have some similar problems.

Yes, I have. I mainly use it for my phone and I've noticed that it shuts off automatically and stops charging. Despite having (presumably) charged all night. I'm getting ready to return it.

I have the same problem with mine. Had them both for quite a while now. Since i have 4 controllers, i have 2 charging docks. It only happens on the bottom charging station. Not sure why but it does. Finding the sweet spot is no longer worth it. Sorry i can't tell you more, hopefully soon i can find out why.

I got the same thing at first just turned it wasn't snapped all the way down into the cradle. Pull it out and snap it back in once.

The charging port remains open, I can't speak about true cradle I've wondered about that too.

Bad phone or bad cradle. Ours disconnects when you return it to the cradle. Does the phone charge on the cradle okay?

The charging light in mine actually didn't work, so I tried turn it. Since in had a battery in it I cound send it through the mail. I contacted AMAZON and they sent me a new. The new one works perfect....

There is a tiny button on the bottom of the charging base that you could try pushing in with a pencil or pen to reset it. Not sure what to do if that doesn't work )-: It would be so nice if they had live support instead of just email.
