heat + power drain in wifi adhoc?

I'm sharing my internet via wmrouter and even though the phone is plugged in, the battery drains. This doesn't happen of the bat but one thing I find in common is the cellphone gets hot. So I am guessing the heat is prevent current to flow to my phone thus not charge?

or is it the fact that wifi + internet + apps uses more energy then the phone charges(which i doubt)

If by plugged in, you mean to your laptop, you're actually correct. The USB charge is a slow trickle charge, and more than likely you're draining your battery faster than it's being charged.

Actually, I am charging from the power, not from a laptop :/

Only things I found in common when it starts loosing power is the phone getting pretty hot and the power charge light blinks instead of glows.

I also set lcd to minimum brightness cause I know that drains a lot of energy. So only things are internet, wifi, and the wmrouter app (which starts internet connection sharing)

Re: heat + power drain in wifi adhoc?

if your led blinks while charging your mogul is overheating. try keeping the keyboard open to help dissapate the heat.

Oh I see by adding more surface area and making it a tad cooler..k thanks I'll try that.

I kinda thought heating maybe the case (aside from the phone being hot and all) since when I have it upright or downright...downright seems to last longer( probably cause there is a hole over there)..though didn't know the mogul had an indication of over heating :/

But is it suppose to do that though? like is it the phone running a constant process or the wifi or internet or combination of both causing the over heating? Usually in cases like computers there are fans and heat exhausts or so to ensure it doesn't over heat...

To avoid this problem when using WMWifirouter, I remove the case, open the keyboard and prop up the device so that there is maximum airflow on the device.

Re: heat + power drain in wifi adhoc?

You could be damaging your battery by getting it too hot. Be very careful, if a battery gets too hot for too long the acid inside will start to evaporate causing the battery to bulge. At that point the battery will never hold a good charge and if continued, the battery can explode. I've done a test with exploding a phone battery and I'll tell you this, if that battery goes while it's in your pocket, good luck walking again.

well where it overheats it isn't in my pocket..but I am worried that it can cause it to fry. Not only the the battey but phone itself..but then what to do in this case, not to use wifi? :/

for wifi to cause overheating is kinda silly >.>
