Have you tried a different port?

Either the ps3 doesn't put out enough mAh for the phone to register as a charger or your ps3 is racist towards any device that is not Sony brand...

Iv tryed both ports and yea possibly Sony wont allow my mobile to charge but thanks for the help

Just tried with my ps3 and my 920 would not charge. Tried on my 360 and started charging right away. My guess is that the ps3 does not put out enough mA for the phone to register that it is being charged. The ps3 controller operates with 300mA which is quite a bit less than our phones and probably charges with a lot less than our phones do as well...

I will see if it works in my PS3 I think it charge one of my older phones before.
