Yes it is safe to charge your phone via usb, not really sure if there is a way to change it to be exclusively usb kinda sounds pointless seeing how its done automatically.As mentioned previously the usb charge from your pc is 1/2 the amount as the wall charger, that is why i feel like I get a more crisp charge from my pc then the wall but that's just a matter of personal opinion and has been discussed on threads before. Personal now i only use usb when I'm to lazy to walk upstairs and get my phone charger or if I have been drinking and I'm about to pass out on the couch, lol...

The wall charge is very fast compared to USB. USB is my preferred way to charge due to the problems with the wall charge and discharging the battery to dead (see related thread on this topic). Rev A charge was a joke right? I cant see any interference with USB and the software on the phone.

P.s. Mobo, where can I get a tesla mini usb charger? I'd like to charge wirelessly, is it available through Ecare?

Thanks.. I didn't know for certain, but thought that it was. Also, you can charge using almost every USB port, as I have tried it several times successfully. Although, it doesn't seem to work properly with PS2...

New one for me. The phone completely discharged itself last night. No hookups to wall or usb and had at least 80-90% charge. Not sure what could have been running but could not have been much. Time to wipe the memory again and rebuild.

was your blue tooth on? or did you have a existing data connection going? either one of these will kill your phone pretty quickly...

Nope bluetooth or data not on. I think it was a gremlin... getting my "new touch" from vzw next week (cause of the crack issue) this will be my third phone from them. i will have to rebuild that one anyways...
