Disconnects from AC Power

Annoying problem with Sprint Mogul. Even though physically connected to AC power, it starts running off battery when the device reaches 100% charge apparently when using BT.

Here's the scenario. Get to work with Mogul at something less than 100% battery. Plug it in to AC power and it starts charging. Enable BT and begin listening via BT headset to streaming audio over EVDO on Win Media Player. Plan is to listen for extended period while plugged in to AC power so battery does not drain.

A while later (sometime after having reached 100% charge) notice that Mogul is running off battery (i.e. still connected via AC adapter and battery light blinking) and has dropped big time in battery level (since backlight is set to 100% brightness when plugged in to AC power).

Disconnecting AC power and immediately reconnecting and it does not begin charging.

After this happened 3 or 4 times I suspected BT for some reason. So I disconnected AC power, disabled BT, reconnected AC power and then it started charging again from AC power.

This does not happen when powered via USB.

Anyone else seeing this problem with BT and AC power?
