USB charges at lower amps and therefore if there is damand by the CPU then you can get this message but it is usualy because of maxing everything out.

If you get it as well with the wall charger, have you tried a different Nokia charger? Just windering if the is failing.

If it is not either of thoughs then may be you device has a problem.

In X Terminal type:
Code:
lshal -m
Then plug the charger in, you should have an output something like this:
Code:
Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
18:24:56.502: usb_device_1d6b_2_musb_hdrc property usb_device.vbus = 1 (0x1)
18:24:56.686: bme property maemo.charger.connection_status = 'connected'
18:24:56.693: bme property maemo.charger.type = 'unknown'
18:24:56.701: bme property maemo.rechargeable.positive_rate = true
18:24:57.253: bme property battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false
18:24:57.277: bme property battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true
18:24:57.374: bme property battery.remaining_time = 7200 (0x1c20)
18:24:57.433: bme property maemo.rechargeable.charging_status = 'on'
18:24:57.528: bme property maemo.charger.type = 'wall charger'
Does it say 'wall charger' ^

After charging for a bit a charging status update should appear:
Code:
18:25:15.246: bme property battery.voltage.current = 3975 (0xf87)
18:25:15.289: bme property battery.reporting.current = 788 (0x314)
