LG VX-8100
8100 Charging Cord
I just got the 8100 and am a bit confused about the charger that came with it. The manual says that you plug the round end of the charger into the phone and the other end into the AC outlet (obviously). But the cord that came with my 8100 does have a round end, it has a flat end. To charge the phone I have to take out the little rubber piece on the bottom and plug the cord into the phone there. Did mine come with the wrong cord? It would be a pain to have to take out that little rubber thing on the phone every time I want to charge the phone. (The over/under on me losing it is 3 days!)
(By the way, I have a feeling I might be missing something obvious here, so please be kind!)
Thanks for the help.

No. just plug the cord into bottom of phone. You don't need that rubber piece. I tossed mine.

Your charger is correct. It is flat. It does plug into the bottom where the rubber piece is, and yes, you do have to remove it when you want to charge-no other way. Some people choose to throw out the rubber piece, so they don't have to mess with it every time, but I like to have it in there to protect that open charging port, so I just put mine back in every morning when I take my phone off the charger. No big deal. At least it has a little raised part on it that makes it easy to remove. My last phone (SAMSUNG SCH-A670) had a flat rubber piece that you had to pry out with something to remove it! It bothered me so much that I bought a desktop charging cradle for it so I wouldn't have to try and remove it everytime, but the 8100 doesn'...
