LG rumor battery won't charge?

[bhoomm]

4 days ago i got a lime green LG rumor, with full battery. When i tried charging it with the supplied travel charger, a lightening icon comes on the battery together with blinking red lights and beeps, irregular pattern, but the battery does not charge. From 3 bars it came to 2 and today one bar.
Today i got a low battery warning while plugged onto the charger, and the phone went off. I checked the charger with a voltmeter, 4.18 volts so the charger works. The port also works, as on removing the battery i checked the terminals, they too have 4.18 V. So i guess for some reason the battery will not charge. I'll take it to the store today, hopefully they can resolve this.

Anyone with this issue ?

Many people are complaining about this same thing. Apparently it is an LG DESIGN DEFECT where one of the charging pins on the main board breaks off. LG offers a 1 year warranty on the LG Rumor, but according to other people they are REFUSING to honor their warranty commitments. I suggest filing an FTC complaint against LG if this is the case for you. For more info:

I have the same problem with two different LG Rumor phones. Sprint did replace my phones but I'm not sure if they will replace this third phone. I want a new phone.

I have a LG rumor and it won't charge unless you put the cord in a wierd position so i don't know. My mom told me we will go check if it is the charge and if it isn't then i am defintly getting a new fone cause i have 3 friends that have the same fone and it broke on them. like the screen went all white or my one had the same problem as me!!!! i hope that i can just get a new fone... i don't recomend this fone 2 anyone!!!
