Has anyone tried to charge this from a wall charger? How does it work afterwards? Any difference in charge time between comp and wall?

I've charged it from the wall. I find the unit quite "funky" the lights stay red, you can't tell if charging is complete. The charge doesn't last long enough for emergency's. Just a weird little unit. I don't know if mine ever worked correctly. I've pretty much written it off as a "my bad."

Mine came with a wall charger that uses a USB interface. You can use the same cable to plug it into a PC. When you plug in the USB, it will automatically ask if you are charging the unit or plugging it into a PC.

Yes, I think user "Bala" is correct! You jus tneed to use it with a wall-charger! I had this not very pleasant discovery made after purchase.But if connected to a wall-charger - works like a charm! And charges the pone pretty fast!

We don't charge it with a wall charger, but a universal wall charger should work with this product.

It comes with the USB cord to charge via computer. Wall charger is available from company - free with Amazon review. I hope that is what you meant by your question.

are you using wall plug or a strip? always use wall plug for charging. i had same problem. and so i put the charger plug in wall and it will charge. now it takes about i think 10 hours to recharge the walkie. try that if that doesnt work be sure that the plug is in the charger part of walkie and it all the way inserted.

I am a little confused because I read that the only way to charge it is through USB. Does it come with any sort of wall charger or any adapter to plug the charger with that mini plug into the usb port?

Mine charges fully, but takes a considerable time to full charge. I use wall charger and it shuts off and holds its charge very well.

The unit does not come with a wall charger, but you can charge it using the USB cable plugged into any computer or use a charger such as mini USB cell phone or MP3 player charger.

I charge it in my car but I have charged it with a wall charger. Takes a couple hours and off you go

I haven't had any problem other than the wall charger is a bit slow. Especially if you've got your phone hooked up to the USB port on the bottom.

I've never charged it by plugging it into the wall, only the computer. Oh wait - I take that back. You just take the USB adapter that comes with it and plug it into a wall plug with a USB port. I do this if listening to it while hooked up to speakers so it stays charged.

It doesn't come with a wall charger. My daughter's boyfriend plugs it in via usb to his computer. He loves it!

I always plug it into a wall charger to charge it, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. However, you would think the charging light would come on either way, so it may very well be defective.

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

It charges via a USB cable (supplied with case) that you connect to your computer. I have found that most phone chargers with the same cable that can connect to a computer or 110v wall charger will work with the wall charger as well.
