Until one day, after updating to PR 1.3, I came to realize that my phone is charging again
Somehow, flashing the firmware (both emmc and firmware) did not help, but updating OTA fixed it.
I have no idea why...
Anyways, my advise for you is to flash your device - I think something from extra-devel might have messed your system up (in my case, I think it was the power-kernel).
Hmmm... well that's hardly a solution
Some people just don't like Google to know what they're doing every second, and generally take part in one of the world's largest data-mining project
I think phones should have different ports for charging and data connectivity.... I used to have my N95, N80 and I never get this kind of charging problems....
I've always bought nokia phones, however nowadays I see great android, apple , blackberry phones. Maybe now it's time to change... until nokia releases meego phones, maybe N9.
I think my N900 has a hardware issue. Here in my country is very difficult to find spare or good technical service. So I think I must get a new phone...
I hope Meego could put nokia phones in the top of the list. It's going to be dificult to defeat android and apple mobile operative systems.
Thanks for your advice....

In the past when I've problem with the charging socket of other phones (it happened quite frequent to me I don't know why) I'd just reply on the external charger until I switch to next phone. Don't just throw away your N900 just because of such minor issue that can be worked around.

I could get an external charger and extra battery... It's cheaper than a new phone...
I could keep my n900 in this way until nokia releases first meego smartphone.... and in this time I could save enough money for this new phone!!!

sjgarciav, I either missed it or you didn't answer me - did you, or did you not try reflashing you phone (both firmware and emmc)?

I have reflashed firmware pr 1.3 and emmc twice!!!
Nothing happens both times (I used maemo flasher in windows)... I still have the problem...
So my conclusion is that I have a hardware issue... However why usb data connection works great... and usb wall charging connection is not recognized?... My charger is ok.. I used succesfully with other phones!!!
Thanks for you advices.

Is this the same charger you got bundled in the box with your N900 when you bought it?

In this case I ran out of ideas 
Anyways, I recommend you get an external charger, they don't cost a lot and they could temporary solve your problem, until you've found a better solution

Yes... It's the original nokia charger.
I had 1:1 the same problem as you, data works perfect always, charging from wall / car problematic - excluding the samsung charger which did work. I did although have to plug it 2 or 3 times several times.
