Snapped off one of the plastic tabs on my Gear S charging cradle. I'm always careful putting it on the watch. Now it won't stay on to charge. Going to try to get a new one tomorrow. Be careful!

Charging cradle - Gear S broken
I have the exact same problem. The clip on the charging cradle broke. I am also very careful with my devices and was unaware that it broke until it couldn't clip on one day.
Samsung will not honour warrantee on this because they say it is 'physical damage' . I am vehemently arguing that this did not break through any careless handling. The unit is very flimsy.
They MUST replace it. I am waiting a response from them.
I had the watch for barely a month now. How many of these crappy cradles will I have to go through???

This happened to a few people over at androidcentral.com as well. Same answer: Samsung won't honor the warranty, and they had to buy a new charger, which doesn't come cheap. I am super careful now, but feel it's only a matter of time until they all break
I also broke one of the clips on the charging cradle. I was not aware of any kind of warranty, but I have my own solution.
Basically, I attach the charging cradle to the Gear S and slide everything onto an empty vitamin bottle. This keeps the charging cradle attached and I have not had any problems so far. I will post a picture of this when I recharge my Gear S tonight.
Just happed to me...I use the gear s as a standalone device on t-mobile...called them and they are replacing the charger for free. I should e getti it Friday and will let you guys know. Btw Has anyone tried to glue the broken plastic part back on and reconnected it?

Make sure they send you the actual cradle. Others were told they'd get a replacement and were shipped the wall wart instead.

T-Mobile sent me a wall wart without the cradle. T-Mobile doesn't carry a replacement charger.
You may want to call and confirm before it arrives.

My cradle is still OK, but ever since I started hearing about this issue, I am dread having to charge my Gear S.
To all those that have broken their cradles. . . .
Just wondering what technique you use for attaching the watch to the cradle?
Do you centre it then press in the middle or do you locate one tab then press on the opposite tab?
I always use the, one tab then opposite, technique and it seems to work well with no issues so far.

Attach at the bottom then snap the top. Mine is broken. Pops off from the top. The top tab is cracked.

I was just thinking that it would be helpful if all of you with broken cradles could post pictures. That's undisputable proof - and once online, it will never go away.
I am also just curious to see what they look like, as I have an idea of what is breaking off, but have never seen the defect myself (yet).

It's not even "broken off" the tab is just not working anymore.
It's going to happen to everyone's. It's obviously the way it is built. I'll have to do a video because you can't tell it's broken by just looking at it.

My atrix won't power on (dropped in water); I have had it in dried rice, placed in a zip bag, and sun dried....before all that I immediately removed the battery and shook out whatever water i could. I've waited a full day but still no luck; if I remove the battery and plug in to PC with battery removed I get green LED but other than that I get nothing (for example if I switch to wall charger immediately the LED goes out). If at worst case I need a replacement, how difficult would it be to have this done without the AT&T purchase receipt (I'm not an AT&T customer)? I purchased the item on eBay a little over a month ago. I've read in forums to unroot before attempting return but that's not gonna happen (lol). My girlfriend hates that I even got an atrix so she's kinda happy this happened...a little off topic here, but I really love my atrix so can someone please help me out?!

Well, no help cuz no solution is available. Your phone is screwed and if it fell into water, the water seals must be screwed up as well and guarantee is void.
Think about it
Well the green LED comes on when plugged into USB like I said...but other than that nothing...I can't find the OEM charger adapter of all the times to be lost. I guess since other threads were successful in revival I would have hoped I would get lucky. Thank you for your reply.
They will know it's been in water by the sensors. They will also know you didn't buy from them. Best bet is insurance if you have it, but I think you are out of luck.

i jumped in the river about 2 weeks ago and completely forgot i had my atrix in my pocket. i would say it was about a good 5 mins underwater. Water damage sign appeared on atrix as well as battery. (red dot). i did the rice thing too..but nothing. unless you're insured..which i was..theres nothing you can do. sorry for your loss.

Actually I sat and thought about it and there's the fingerprint and camera to also take into consideration, as well has other functionalities just didn't post. I'm in between studying Windows Server 2008 , watching TV, and just randomly doing other things. Thanks to you all for your help though. I may just try to find an atrix with just a broken screen or just forget about it all together. I've only had the phone for 3 weeks but stuff happens, consider it $500 down the drain .
Disassemble it, take a look at it, remove the corrosion manually. Use a heatgun on the components, but dont overheat it. Afterwards put together and check if battery still has power with a multimeter. Reassemble and plug into wall charger. See what happens

I say this is your best bet. Try this, or get someone with some electronics knowledge to take a look.
It beats just tossing it.
Either that or put it up on ebay and try to recoup some money. someone with a broken screen, or camera might want to buy it for parts.
So I've always been really carfull plugging in my charger. Never had an Issue. I get a Wifi Flyer for my wife for Christmas and she has already broken the charging port. It appears that the internal tab has been pushed into the devise so it won't engage the charger. Anyone experience this?
My plan is to take it apart and attempt to repair the port. Haven't found the right driver yet to get the screws off the back. It appears to be a star bit and a 1.27mm hex won't work.
Anyways after the case is off, I'm guessing it will take a little soldering to put it back in place as I'm not hopefull it just popped out and can be pushed back. Any Advice would be welcome.

There is a dock, but of course the plug will be the same, probably harder to align then the cable.

Call HTC and send it back for warranty repair. My Flyer had a damaged LCD and we sent it to HTC and they repaired it for free.
I bought mine "open box" from Tech4Less in November, it was originally from Best Buy. It is worth a shot in my opinion. I figured mine was a long shot since I had no proof when and where I bought it from, but they fixed it anyways!

It was xmas gift from her grandmother and of course her grandmother cant find the reciept and paid cash for it. I called geek squad and they said theres nothin they can do because theres no reciept and we dont have bestbuys insurance. They told me to call htc and see what they can do. Also is there maybe a power mat for tablets like there is for phones?

Power Mat requires access to the charge port, or to replace the battery door. So that's not going to help you in this case. Calling HTC is your best bet.
Had a problem like this. The Tab inside the charging port was pushed in too far. I took the case off, and pushed the tab back out then reset the two positioning tabs to hold the connection tab in the correct position. If those two positioning tabs are not depressed deep enough the connection tab can be pushed in out of place and no connection is made.
Im not mechanically incline enough to do that lol.....i called htc and told em the story there sent me out a package with a return shipping package. Apparently this is a common issue. They said as long as theres no physical damage or water damage it shouldnt be an issue. The case has been in an otterbox since day one

Flash back to stock?
Does it still connect to your computer? If it's not charging & not connecting, your charging port is probably broken. You could probably manage with an external battery charger & a couple of batteries you can charge & rotate, like these-
Try blowing the port out with compressed air? Otherwise, yeah, you're looking at a replacement phone.

Same thing happened to a 'friend'. That part is very easy to change out. I don't know if you can buy it by itself though. What I 'heard' you can do is buy a new note from BB switch the charging ports and return it. Just make sure the battery is charged when u return it.

Yeah. I tried around 3 or 4 chargers (car, oem, etc.), and none worked. I got home last night... Plugged it into my computer with a cable I had left at my computer, and it was charged in the morning.
Maybe I can give it some more time to make sure it wasn't something just disrupting the pin connections.

The exact same thing happened to me. My Note stopped charging completely. As previously stated, you can get an external battery charger but your best bet might be a replacement phone.
From what I was told by a local phone repair shop, its not an easy fix. I'm not sure how correct that is.
However, AT&T replaced mine and it was quite an easy process.

If so, did you go through AT&T or Samsung? If I go into an AT&T store, will they be able to give me a replacement right there? If not, will they at least be able to start the repair process?

I claimed a warranty exchange. Went to AT&T and they gave me the warranty number. I don't think I've ever had a phone swapped in-store even though I have insurance.

That's a good short term fix, but it's inconvenient and by the time you get that wall charger you'll have a new phone via warranty exchange.

I have the same problem with my 3 month old note (At&t i717). No pressure pull or anything was done to the phones USB port in fact it happened in the middle of the night while charging, it just stopped charging on its own. It's stock rom never rooted 2.3.6. Picked up the phone this morning was about 50% i didnt pay too much attention, got in the car and plugged in and noticed it is not charging. I thought its my trusty Chinese charger but it was not, came back home tried home charger the laptop plus USB cable and non worked. I am using original home charger and samsung USB cable. Cleaning the port did nothing. Rebooting few times and pulling the battery out did not help either.
And then the strangest thing happened. While it was plugged in (without me even touching it) after 20 minutes of being plugged in suddenly it made its DING sound and started charging. It has been charging everywhere since then, that was a few hours ago. I am worried it may do this again. It is definitely a software issue to me. I didn't touch the phone and started recharging all on its own!
I bought this note off Craigslist and its only about 3 months old and still under warranty but I don't have the receipt so Samsung says f/u. Very pissed at Samsungs poor customer service, really rude people in the Philippines at customer service, when I told them I bought the phone on Craigslist used, they acted like I have stolen their family jewels and did not want to talk to me. They came up with lame BS excuses like warranty doesn't transfer to second owner (it does, it's mandatory in the USA magnuson moss act ). HTC in contrast has always services my used phones without receipt using the IMEI they check and know it's still under warranty. They place a temporary charge on the card but they have never charged me anything and have promptly repaired my phones multiple times over the past couple of years.
I've replaced my phone twice under a try warranty. It was super easy and the second time they sent me a brand new device. Also have your charger replaced as well, it a warranty issue also.

Did you get the LG one? If so, supposedly the thing beeps super loudly every time the charger turns on according to the Amazon.com reviews.
You are supposed to be able to take it apart and remove the speaker from the board.
I just ordered 2 for $35 ea from there... hoping for the best.

I did, but I don't mind the beep. It doesn't seem that loud to me.

Great. I'm curious if the beep happens every time the charger kicks on (I believe it shuts off automatically when the phone is fully charged) or if it's just one "beep" when the phone is set down on it.
Either way, I'll probably be disconnecting the speaker since I will use one bedside (don't want to wake the sig other) and one at work and don't want to bother my coworkers either.

When you set it down. The beep is to tell you it's placed correctly on the mat.

Right on.. I'll be able to tell that by the lightning symbol in the battery icon too.
Beep be damned! lol
I'm planning on getting the Energizer one.

Looks like a good choice, although more $ and out of stock apparently (for now).

I just picked up a wireless charging pad from my VZW store.
I love it!
I can now just set my phone on the nightstand next to the bed and not have to worry about plugging it in.
Thank you HTC for finally making this built in, and not an option!

i was on the fence yesterday about getting it, and picked it up today and i am so glad i did. i especially like how firm of a grip it has. i still think i may pick up the energizer one from amazon so i can have one at home and one at the office
I'm thinking of picking up the LG pad (and ripping the speaker out) to put on my desk. I can't think of anything more convenient that just putting the phone down and it charging up. I'll probably continue to use a charger at night for now. I'm not really crazy about the LG pad, and you know there'll be more options out there soon. I'd rather hold off and get one that's maybe more stylish, or slimmer (and no beep!) before I invest in a second pad.
I'd like to see a USB powered pad if possible, so I could toss it in my bag and take it to work with me (no free outlets at my desk so I currently charge my phone through the USB port).
I just ordered the nokia charger from verizons website, it is compatible with DNA.
Long Term Use
I have read that wireless charging causes the battery to get warmer than corded charging. I wonder since this is a non-replaceable battery will that effect the overall life of the battery. Is anyone else worried about long term use of a charging pad. I love the idea but wonder if it will cause issues later on.

What I'm worried about is the constant charging and discharging that will happen when we're forced to charge it over night, at work, and then in the car.

The phone has to be on the pad for it to charge.

so it wont work an inch above at all?
I didn't see it answered anywhere, but if you go with the wireless charger will you be able to keep a slim case on it? I don't want to put an otterbox on it or anything since it is already a pretty big phone, but I would like to put one of those slim form-fitting cases on it.
