Re: Charging the Touch Pro - weird behavior

Try using your mogul or touch oem charger - it will make a world of difference in both charging speed and topping off... The included charger not charging in rapid mode is one of my biggest complaints...

You can really see the difference if you install nuepower as it will tell you the power draw off the charger.
It is true that the included charger only charges at normal usb power (400mA)

Most of the time it IS temp related. When I use WMWifiRouter and charge it at the same time, the phone will not charge and will die. I have to take the battery cover off and open the keyboard to keep it cool. This works wonders for me. It doesn't shut off then.

I'm also using a Walmart charger for mine. I tried both my old touch and current walmart charger. They both heat the device up when I'm using it heavily.
