Only some chargers work, same for USB cables.some only work in certain positions. A local place well fix it for $90.00 think that is a good deal?

It's a delicate job, so it'll be worth some $$$. Don't know how much.
On the other hand, you can probably buy a phone with broken screen for less, and just mix the parts into one phone, if you're technically inclined.

I've had the sane problem. What I did I called tmobile up told them my phone won't go on and they sent me a new one. That was about a year ago and they never charged me for it.
I thought this when used. That probably will not work for me.

Don't spend more $$ than you have to !!
My personal MyTouch 4G stopped charging from one minute to the other a few months ago. I found a place in Texas that charges $ 49.99 to fix the charging port issue. I think that $ 90.00 is a little bit much. You pay via PayPal, you send the phone to them (make sure you insure it, it's worth the money in case the package gets lost), they fix it within 48 hours and send the fixed phone back to you and they'll provide you with a tracking number as well. Worked like a charm for me, my phone is up and running without any problems since. Please PM me if you need their website

Is it me ? I am an IT consultant, I have been into electronics my whole life,
well since 7th grade,i`m 45+ yrs old and treat everything with respect....
How could my 5-6 week old HTC EVO already have charging issues ? when i got home tonight I plugged in the factory HTC usb charger and heard a click.....
well guess what no the little "Charging" light does`nt come on unless I wrap the wire under the phone, this will not be good in the car....
Bringing it to a Sprint store is not an option as i`m not on a plan,i`m one of the
other customers
is there a repair center ? or should i buck up another 60 bucks for a charging mat

It's called hardware failure, it happens to all electronics...

I really dont see how you can be complaining then, since you dont even pay for service...
If I'm correct $35 should cover any repair when you don't have insurance.

Yep, pay the $35 and then ask to add TEP...or not, depending on your perspective, it may or may not be worth it.
or you can always fix it yourself.

Thank you for the information, I looked into the charging mat and that is not an option as it too utilizes the micro usb jack,and with the new back on the phone that it requires makes my Seidio Innocase Holster Case Combo useless...It seems the charging mat people don't have a holster available (yet??) Anyways if i position the phone just right its taking a charge, but still , poor design for sure on HTC`s part here...I will look into having it repaired or order a jack and attempt tit myself I guess....Happy Holidays to all
i have been so busy using and enjoying my evo that i dont have to come around to xda much these days but i have come to say something that maybe most of you already knew.
short version: i damaged my usb port on my evo and it sometimes would not charge and sprint is giving me a new phone for free.
this is not going to cost me a dime, the tech said it was a known issue and he ordered me a new phone and said it should be in a few days.
he said if there wasn't a known issue i would have had to pay $35 for a new phone. i thought i had a $50 dollar deductible, then they upped it to 100, not down to $35, but i guess i will take free.
i dont undersstand all the warranty options but i guess this time i didnt have too, being that they are going to swap it out for me for free.
i am rooted and running cm7, i flashed back to a stock nanadroid back up before i walked in. is there anyway that this rooting business can back fire on me?
on a side note, can anyone think of anyway to turn this new evo into a 3d phone?
If you didn't run s-on tool they will know your phone was rooted, but no big deal its not software related issues. Just so you know you just lost root, warranty phones come preloaded with 2.3.3 (same thing happened to me now im waiting for root). And your phone will be a refurbished one unless you are still in the first 30 days. As for the cost usb port failure is considered a manufacturers defect and that's why it's free. 35 dollars are for repairs that are your fault but not severe. 100 applies to loss or theft or severe damage.

darn it, i didnt know about the root issue!
thanks for the bad news lol
I recently had the usb port break, and traded in for a 3d. Guess I probably could have held on and waited for the galaxy s ii, but I didn't think they would cover my phone as I had it for just over a year, and traded in. Probably could have made more money selling my 4g on cl too.
I can not get my Bravo with MIUI to charge. All was going well until it just stopped charging one night and when thebattery drained that was it. No LED's turn on when plugged in or anything at all.
Is this a software or hardware issue?
Should I send this back to AT&T since I have warranty or should I try to fix this some other way?
Hey, I've had a problem like this before and the only thing left for me to do was to get a replacement. I didn't have insurance because I didn't really think about it much. BUT I was in the 90 day warranty period(thankfully). So I received my replacement phone. Which Is the same one.

I just got my Bravo back from Motorola warranty service for a borked USB port. Only took 9 months of plugging/unplugging until the port would not hold the cable connector, and (of course) would not charge or sync. Got it back in about a week, and I am much more careful with it now. BTW, I got my Bravo on Amazon with a contract extension, so AT&T was not interested in helping since I didn't buy the phone from them. If you did, they may make good on it. Otherwise, they'll probably point you to Motorola (whose first question when I called was "Where did you buy the phone?")
It's going bad and I hear Sprint is charging 100 bucks to fix, this is bullcrap... I don't have TEP either.... what's gonna happen? Whatever happen to having a durable ass phone that just works for 2 years? I bought this in December NIB
It happens. Cord mighta pulled on it to hard or what not. A lot of us been there. With tep its 100 for replace from insurance. Without, just depends on sprint store. Might get customer friendly store to take care of it for you. But otherwise, might wanna look into Craigslist or ebay.

or buy a cheap external wall charger and use that instead of plugging it in
Sprint chat told me they'll waive it off if I bill to account.
The bill to account ends on the 2nd right?
Also I need to unroot?
..... Sorry made a mistake
I was having same problem got a universal from radio shack and it turned out the conecter had just worn down new one worked perfect

This phone was recently flashed to cricket and then the charging port came all the way out...Is there anything I can do with it anymore or am I better off just selling it?
You wouldn't sell it with a secretly broken charging port, would you?
And if you have asurion, I believe that's not a sprint thing, as T-mo and others use it also.

You really have 2 options..
1. Take to a cell repair shop. However they will probably want 100 to 150 bucks to fix it.
2. Check Cragislist. You can probably find one there for 150 or less.
Or get an external charger for your battery. Get two batteries so you can have one on the charger, one in the phone.
