Hello, I just got the Bionic and I love it. About a week ago it stopped charging in my pc via usb, I can access the files on the SD card, but it does not charge. It charges fine when connected to a wall charger. The charge symbol lights up and it looks like it is charging. Thanks for your Help.
 
The USB port only supplies 500mAh, whereas your wall charger supplies 850mAh. You are probably using the phone too much while it is plugged into the USB on the PC.

Also, if you have a poor connection with the data cable and the phone, the current drops even lower. The Micro B ports are VERY finicky and particular. Over time they will wear out quite quickly. I've had my phone since release and I don't ever try to use the phone while it it connected to a charger anymore.
