I think it is because it is getting hot, and the phone will not charge a hot battery. OR is it possible the USB port is not providing enough power???

This happens after about an hour or 2. I have tried several Roms, same problem.

Anyone else having this problem?
While it's true that a standard USB port doesn't have enough current to handle this phone under use, is it possible you have disabled charging while tethering?

Also, if you have multiple USB locations on your laptop (I'm assuming you're using a laptop), use the single port, not one of the dual ports. The single port often supplies more current than the doubled ports.
