Re: Improve Battery Perfomance on HTC EVO 4G from Sprint
USB charging vs Wall/car charging.

When I allow the my Evo to slowly charge on the USB connection, the discharge rate is noticeably slower then when charging it with the wall charger.

I am not sure if its because of the slow "trickle" like charging vs the fast charge of a wallcharger. I noticed that while running the command to find out what type of display i had, one of the specs was "slowcharge" or something like that when the USB was plugged in. All I know is that slow charge = slow discharge, and fast charge = fast discharge.

If HTC/Sprint is putting out a software fix next week, I am willing to bet its something in the firmware/software to slow down the charging while on the 12V wall/car charging vs the 5V usb charging.
