Like I said a couple posts back, I DO NOT use my computer to charge my phone. USB 2 ports put out 5 volts and USB 1 ports only put out half of that. If you are going to charge by USB ( and I do understand that that is the only way that many people can charge) make sure that you use a powered USB hub.
If you can't use or don't have access to a powered hub, you can use a USB "Y" cable - a usb cable that plugs into two ports on your computer. One port acts as power/data and the other supplies power. WOrks good if you are running on a laptop that is running in powersaver mode where USB voltage is reduced to save energy on the laptop.
If at all possible, use your AC adapter to charge your phone.
