Is there any one here have a problem in charging his T68i
Me and two of my friends have difficuilty when charging the unit. When you plug it on the charger it is not charging directly. You need to play around with the outlet to get charging, and some time it lose the connection with the charger without any reason. I found this problem also in some other forums but I need to know if there any solution you got. I tried to pull out these two connectors in the charger by a small pen and the charger now is working much better than before. but still not 100%.

I used to have this problem with my R320s and sometimes with my T68i, not just with charging but also using my MP3 player. I though the MP3 Player/charger was faulty, until i got my T300, and had no problems.

But i managed to find a solution.

Turn OFF the phone, and remove the battery (IMPORTANT) get a sharp pointed pencil eraser/rubber, and try and rub the contacts on the bottom of the phone clean. This should improve the conectivity.

If that doesnt work, or you cannot clean it effectively, get a soft pencil, and sharpen it to a point. Run the pencil along each of the contacts at the bottom, gently (not too hard, or you may damage the contacts). This is why i said to said to switch off and remove the battery, to avoid accident short curcuiting the phone. With a blower or soft cloth, remove any excess carbon "dust" from the area. see if it works. I foiund this works always for me, and not just on ericssons.

Please be carefull using this method, because any excess carbon dust may cause the phoen to short cuircuit.

Yes!
What janahan says is true. I did that before. That has been worked to me. But why we get such connectivity problem. Please note that the problem not from the phone connection only. When I pull ot these two connectors from my charger I got more connectivity stablility. This means that we have problems in both mobile and charger.
