Sprint just rolled out 2.3.3 Gingerbread android. While the update ran without obvious errors or problems.

Many customers soon realized their phones won’t charge! I personally noticed this when I arrived at work and plugged my phone into a USB charging port and saw the battery would not charge. Then plugging into a “live” PC USB port would usually trigger the “USB Storage” message on the phone, did not trigger this, instead the PC tried to install drivers for the phone.

Now the only way the phone will charge is with a wall charger, so no car charging or PC charging any longer. From what I hear some people are unable to charge their phones at all, even using the wall charger. Serious issue!

I was able to get the phone to charge on the PC port only by going to LG mobile website and having to install the phone drivers manually.

Sprint, please release an update ASAP to fix this charging issue!
