I find that very confusing--it's hard to imagine a phone that draws more than a laptop, and I've not had a problem plugging in my laptop to the 77W power outlets.
Very true. The AC adapter issue sounds like a hardware problem to me. If the common denominator is the phone (can't charge from this plane, can't charge from that AC adapter, doesn't matter which cable I use, etc.) then I'd start looking there...
