I had it charging but it still drains the battery. Does anyone have a direct link to people claiming a solution, maybe turning off certain features etc?

Our new apartment won't have internet ran to it for another month so I'm just looking to see if I HAVE to use the USB to PC tethering, while running a crossover cable from my PC to my standard wireless router so that my wife can share the connection with me.

Hi Vumpler.. Heres the reason.. The phone is constantly connected to your data service, while at the sametime running the Wifi equipment and trying to charge the battery at the sametime. All of this work is probably overheating your device. Once the cpu reaches a certain temperature thats it it will automatically cut off charging since that causes the most heat.

Only thing ou can do is keep the back cover off of the device and blow a fan on it. Even that wont help I bet but you can try. I noticed the same issue while on vacation. Touch your device and see how hot it gets. theres an icon too that will pop up to tell you its stopped charging due to the heat.
