If you tether your mogul to your laptop how do you....

Ok, I got PdaNet works great. But, what if my battery is low on the Mogul when I do this. Will the tether cord plugged into the USB on the laptop charge the phone as it is running as a modem also? Thanks

Yes, it will charge - but between use and the slower charging rate of USB I have not seen it "charge" the phone much - more or less just keep it from draining.

Thanks, that helps.

I woudl use BT to teather it and then just plug in the pwr adapter

I use WMWifiRouter all the time with mogul plugged in on the other side of my desk. Works great too.

IMO is the best way to connect using your phone...

I do this too. I haven't tried it since the new version, but before you could put it to sleep in use, my mogul would overheat and the battery would stop charging. Haven't tried it with the newest version though.

it will charge my phone but takes about 4 hours to get a 50% increased battery reading, slow but it will do it, one thing that may help is to make sure all unnecessary apps are turned off while you are on line.

Dumb question but....
If you use the Wifi methods OR pdanet.. do they know and charge you if you have unlimited vision for the phone?

Wifi turns this phone into a nice handwarmer
