I then plugged it into the wall charger and it charged fine. I did unplug it before it was fully charged though, it still had a bit left to go. The light was green, however.

Then last night before bed I plugged it in to the wall to charge it. It wasn't very low, but I wanted to test it's behavior again at this point. I woke up this morning and the light was still amber and it hadn't charged past where it was.

I then looked around online and found posts from others having similar charging issues with their touch. It seems to be pretty finicky. It's almost like sometimes it doesn't engage and then if I unplug it and plug it back in then it starts charging properly.

Then another odd issue - today while charging (testing it again) the light turned green and stayed green for awhile and then suddenly it turned amber. I then unplugged it and plugged it back in and it turned green after a few seconds.

Has anyone else experiencing odd charging behavior with their touch? Has anyone else had their charging light go from green back to amber while charging?

I'm not sure what to make of it and/or if it's defective.

Same here - I thought it was a powered USB issue at first. Are you on 5.0.3 yet?
