Re: Battery drain while charging in car

I originally thought it might have to do with the old version of Bonsai (3.0) that I had but I upgraded to 4.1.1 and the problem still exists. Has anyone else had this problem? It is extremely limiting to not be able to charge my phone in the car. I don't have anything running on the phone while charging. This only happens while charging in the car.

Thanks,

If your battery gets hot it will stop charging altogether for safety reasons..whats your car charger rated at? also try putting it on a metal surface and see if it still gets hot..
