My TP2 charges perfectly off the port and charger.

Yes - I'm also seeing an extremely slow charge on mine. After being plugged into my PC for about 40 minutes it only went up about 10 %.

the usb ports on your pc will only push a max of 500ma, so once you consider what the phone used there isn't alot of current to charge the battery with. you can have the same problem with cheap chargers too.

You could be right but I'm charging with USB 3.0 which I believe is about 900ma. Anyone know what the charger that came with that? I believe that is nearly the same amount. I haven't kept exact time but I believe I've had it plugged in about 6 hours now and I'm at 77%. No phone calls since I plugged it in - only thing I've done is back up about 6 programs.

if its a 3.0 then it SHOULD be able to push 900mah max, but where or not it will is another story. stock charger is rated 5v @ 1A

Mine showed 100% but within a minute of disconnecting it from the charger it dropped to 87%

I had mine plugged in for an hour to my computer - same usb port that charged and charges my other sprint phone and my BT headset - both working fine with the new HTC usb cable - unfortunately my phone just gets really hot and after an hour plugged in was just as dead as when I plugged it in.

i downloaded the battery monitoring app, bought a new charger cable with gold plated ends and now it charges. before the new cable, sometimes while charging, the battery drainage would be much greater than the incoming power.

BTW, if you're charging your phone and using it heavily (bluetooth/wifi for example) your batter will die faster because heat has negative effects on it.
