3. Plug phone in (OEM AC outlet USB charger).
4. Turn Bluetooth on.
5. Start call (I call another cell at night, so can just leave them both connected for the test).
6. Turn speaker on.
7. 30-45 minutes in, and the phone is no longer charging.

To add insult to injury, the phone still registers the USB connection (I have diff brightness set for external power, and I can tell by the dimming when unplugging the cable), but just does not charge.

Phone will just run down the battery at this point.

When I've taken it in the middle of the drain, and placed it on an ice pack, it flips to "charging" ~15 seconds later.

What are the manufacture dates on both these phones? Please hit ##786# and let us know...
