About half the time I insert the phone into the base the phone will not charge. It always goes into dock mode though?

I haven't had any problem with charging. As for mode, I don't think anything changes, you just get the beep beep when connection is made.

I am not sure if its a defect in the base or not. Mine seats, goes into dock mode and charges every night. Wiggle it slightly side to side in dock to make sure it is seated properly. I've had this type of dock through a droid incredible,note 2, s3 and now s4 without problems. Best I can do. Good Luck.

Mine sometimes goes into dock mode, but mostly does not. It has started to charge, but only if I have the second battery in it.

I found that I have to gently tap on the top of the phone to get it to connect to the charger properly in order for it to charge

The same thing happened when I had mine. When I put the battery in my phone it only was at 80% and would never fully charger. That being said I returned it.

Hi, please make sure the mobile phone has been installed at the correct position. Then please pay attention to the gap between mobile and the charging cradle, it should be flat. I wish it will help you.

The only thing I can think of it that maybe the phone isn't aligned correctly with the plug inside of the charger. Make sure it is pushed completely into the phone.

Yep...just make sure that the phone is centered on the charging pad. If not the phone will keep disconnecting and reconnecting to the charge.

Check to see if there is a problem with the cable... if you have the dock try a different usb cable... if both a new cable and the dock fail and it will not charge with the usb cord separately then the unit is most likely broken and needs service by Sony

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

no, it doesn't go into a dock mode. What I like about it is that it works, charges the phone, while simultaneously, charging a spare battery. So what if the phone doesn't go into speakermode for an incoming call. You can still press the speaker button on the phone and talk as you normally would to anybody. For the price, it's right for me. Besides, this will become my 2nd phone as the long awaited Galaxy Note 2 has arrived at Sprint. Hope this helps.

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

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 haven't noticed that it reboots while its on the dock, but after i started to use the dock, i noticed my phone started to randomly reboot.

Nope. And btw my charger port just went out on the phone, I had to take it in to be fixed, and the store told me it was completely refurbished on the inside! So watch out for that. I've been having some charging problems lately!

It's possible, yeah. I thought the issue I was having with my phone not taking a charge was because of the batteries, so I replaced them, but that didn't fix it. If your phone is working, don't worry about it. If it won't take a charge, try replacing them. I ended up having to replace my handsets all together.

I've had this problem with mine. Try unplugging the charger and plugging it back in.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

My mother purchased us each one for Christmas. As of March 21st mine will only charge if the phone is horizontal and face-up, and even then sporadically at best. I routinely have to charge it in the morning after having been plugged in all night. I will be sending it back to this address seeking a fixed or replaced unit before it ceases to function all together.

Try charging again. Make sure you have charger hooked up right. Sometimes charger is bad.
