Re: come on now!

Reprod in post #4 seems to be right. The 100% to 90% seems to be the fastest drop. Iv done some web surfing for 30 minutes and only lost about 6% battery. The drastic drop makes it seem as though the battery only charges to 90%. Very annoying!

Re: come on now!

This is common and has been the issue posted on most phone threads on these forums.

See the phone / charger doesn't trickle charge. It fully charges and stops.

So let's say it took two hours to fully charge since you plugged it in. That means from the moment it stopped charging until you unplugged your phone, it was using the battery.

Best method would be to unplug and plug it back in before you leave for the day to top it off.

Hope that helps,
