The 6800 charges as fast as on usb as it did plugged in. so why can't the 6850(TP)? That is one thing I missed about my mogol.

HTC just wants to make things difficult after all this thread wouldn't be here if it weren't for them so technically you should think them for doing stupid sh1t.

My 6800 never charged fast on usb. what would usually happen is that it would show a higher percentage of battery power, but it would discharge quickly while in use.

I've used my old 6800 to tether all the time and it would say the battery was charged as with the TP i would disconnect from my PC and it would say 1/4 battery left, after 2 hours. Damn HTC..

im pretty sure this is true. as when you install the cab and right before you turn it on it warns you it could break your usb port.

Well this is true if you don't have a DC powered USB hub. Most USB ports (especially on laptops) will allow up to 500 mA drain per root. 1A will certainly push the limit of this limit and possibly cause damage to the port. In most desktops, this limit is around 800 mA.

Using a powered hub allows all the current from the DC adapter rather than the USB port while allowing transparent communication with the computer.

Same here... My mogul took forever to charge on USB! Even on an aftermarket 1A USB charger.

With the nuebattery this thing charges fast on any PC I've tried it. Pulls the 800-900ma off my aftermarket chargers at my office and car with no issues. Love it.
