Re: Charger issues

I had a similar issue with USB charging shortly after flashing to 6.5 as well. Not only was my battery life much shorter, but plugging USB into my laptop also drained the battery rather than charged it (and it worked fine before the flash).

I have 2 different cables, the one that came with the phone, and an aftermarket one (originally sold for use with a Blackberry). Both had the same issue. Didn't matter if laptop was plugged to power or not. Charged fine if the phone was turned off.

Someone had suggested in another thread that flashing the phone without a fully charged battery could have caused the battery drain. This could have been the case with me. All I know is that after I let my battery drain to the point where the phone shut off, then charged it fully before I used it again, battery life is back to normal. So is the ability to charge via USB.

I have also turned off the bluetooth. I haven't tested it yet, turning it back on to see if things change, but I will do that today and report back if it seemed to make a difference.
