My C902 has certainly seen better times.

Recently i've noticed that the phone won't take a charge via the wall charger. If i wiggle the adapter it will flash between charging and not. Naturally I assumed it was either the charger or dirty contacts. So i cleaned the contacts and no help.

Today I noticed that the USB cable is also being touchy. It will literally only work in phone or media transfer mode if the cable is angled in one specific way. Strangely mass storage mode is just fine...

I even tried a third party adapter, and while it wasn't as touchy, it still disconnected when wiggled the tiniest bit.

This phone has seen the opposite of heavy use. I'm on paygo, so i rarely use it for much of anything, and it's shy of 9months old.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thoughts if this would be under warranty? or even who i would be best to contact?

This is the common problem on Fast Port on SonyEricsson. I’ve faced the same problem and that’s why I got rid of it. Not only in C902, I had same problem others SonyEricsson too, those used Fast port. It should be under warranty.

Yep. All SE have it. Usually I check after a minut or so if it's still charging.

Clean your fasport. I had problems like you do and then I gently swiped it with a toothbrush, now it works like a charm. Today I recharged my C902 it without a problem,

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Those tricks aren’t work in all scenario. At-least not in my case.
