First time Charge your phone using wall charger and completely discharge it and next time charge using usb cable connected to your pc/laptop. Post your results . My battery lasts 30-40% more when I charge using usb connected to laptop.

Weird your computer usb has a much lower voltage output and will take much longer to charge, as the battery will still have the same mAh rating when charged fully it shouldn't have any impact

Hi
X10 is my first touch cell phone.
When battery is 30% i put it on charging it start Discharging till 0% and then phone go to shutdown. After sometime it start but take too long to charge 30% of the battery.
Is it normal for X10..???
Please help me if anyone know about this.
Thanks
Are you charging via usb or by ac adapter? usb charging does not seem to provide enough juice to charge the battery.

from my experience with mine is up to 10% or 15% im not sure. theres a blinking red then after that its solid green..but charging is really slow on this
im usb charging at play around with it and its actually draining battery
not sure if this is normal but thats what im experience and most of the aftermarket charger out there doesnt work very well with this device
You need a charger with at least 850mA capacity to be able to charge the phone normally. USB charging from computer is slow as it is just 500mA and if you are using the phone for heavy stuff like watching video it may actually lower battery percentage instead topping it up.
Most aftermarket generic USB chargers are 500-550mA especially car adapters, some are even lower.. Make sure you get properly rated charger for this phone to avoid any issues.
My Galaxy S, takes far too long for charge completely ؟
Today was the battery level of 19%, Connect the device charger, and after 5 hours and her grandmother, reached 93%
also the phone became very hot
Yes, I am also wondering about that. It takes about 6 hours to get from 5% to 100%. It is fine for me, since I charge the battery in the night, but sometimes there are situations where you want to get your phone charged quickly.
My previous iPhone 3G took about 1,5-2 hrs for complete charging.
I can't offer any advice as to why, but my phone charges from 30% to full in about 2 hours if I use the mains charger, but takes about 3-4 hours if I plug it into the computer USB port. The other thing, my phone doesn't get hot, only slightly warm.
I thought the same when I first got the phone.Have owned an iPhone for the last 3 years and that chrged up pretty quickly using the USB charger, in fact the Wall Charger is still sealed,never used.
But using the wall charger with the SGS really makes a difference.I would say under two hours from empty to full.

the usb port on a computer can only deliver i think 0.25amps where as a typical wall charger can do 1-2amps which is alot more. There it always charges quicker with a wall-plug-charger.
Sorry, i am from denmark, therefore my native language is not english
mine charges from 10% to 100% in arround 3 hours using the original charger...
I had the same problem initially, just do a few full battery cycles (2-3) and it should go away. If not, it may be faulty - how's the battery life?

Are you using USB or AC charger?
AC Charger gives you shorter charging time because of the higher amp input.
my SGS takes around 2 hrs from less than 10% battery in balance to full charge via AC charger.
The stock wall plug charger rated only 700miliamp, if you need fast charging you need to get a charger rated min 1amp, I use my old n97 charger to charge sgs, take about 2hr fr.black out condition, the charger rated 1.2amp output

Ampere rating is a max spec, the phone will pull as much as it needs. So you gain nothing from using a higher rated charger.

The problem is there are still
Today i got this message
" bttray temperature too high or low "
When I do I charge the phone
Yes it will pull >1amp rather than .7amp

Anyone else notice that when the mytouch is plugged in and charging, it drains and results in a lower battery level while using apps and games? I understand that some of the charge goes towards running the game, but to actually be draining the battery while it's plugged in? My old hd2 never seemed to do this.
FWIW, I usually get about a thirty
Ma drain while the phone is idle, whereas with my hd2 would get a 6ma drain, and I typically have them both under the same settings. Strange!

Even under the most intense usage, the battery should always charge while plugged in. If your battery level actually decreases while plugged in, I'd say you have a bad charger or battery.
That's what I'm thinking. The charger I'm using right now is a rocketfish micro usb adapter attached too a mini usb cable, plugged into my keyboard at work. Again, my hd2 used the same set up and charger and never had this issue. Perhaps not coincidentally, the computer never reads the phone as a device and never has.

USB charging does not supply enough amperage to charge the battery and carry a moderate CPU load.
You will also notice that it takes longer to charge on USB. I use a dock setup in my car, which registers as USB charging, it only slows the drain when I actively use GPS.

I had wondered about that, since I knew USB provides less amps than a wall charger, but I guess I've never put enough drain on my phone while plugged into USB because it always continues to increase the charge.
So I realized that if I charge my phone using the USB ports on my laptop, the phones batter lasts much longer than if I charged it through the power outlet in the wall.
I didn't take any screenshots because I didn't think of it at the time, but through the laptop I got about 2 days and 14 hours with moderate use and I had 18% battery left.
Through the wall charger, I get about 18 hours with moderate use.
Can anyone else confirm?
Not sure, but i do feel that it charge slower on the USB port of my laptop. Maybe it have something to do with your theory.
Centranly!
USB port can give max 500mA but the wall charger can supply with 700mA (+40%!!!)
I have a charge-only cable that charges over my MBP's USB faster than any AC adapter I've tried. Charges last about the same regardless of power source though...

USB 2.0 will provide up to 500mA while USB 3.0 can provide 800mA. Stock Atrix wall charger I have is 850mA.
How do you verify what mA you're using? Is there a good tool for that?

IIRC, these are minimum specs for the standards. Could be wrong, but I believe that true output varies card to card/port to port.

I've heard this theory before, but didn't see noticeable difference on my phone to back this claim.
I do agree with OP that charging the phone connected to a laptop USB port would give longer battery life. I have noticed this on several occasions already. I also agree the charge process would be much slower. With my phone, with 5% charge or less, the battery icon randomly doesn't animate while being charged.
That a side, I'm also sure something is broken in Atrix design, be it hardware, battery, or both but something is not right. I can't even charge my phone from a power point with the supplied cable and the plug [UK].
I know Motorola won't admit neither fix this problem in Gingerbread but might do, quietly, in ICS. One other possibility I can think of is that the supplied plugs are the culprit.
Today i charged the phone from my laptop, and im not feeling any difference at all. Its discharging at my usual pace. :/

Furthermore to my previous post, I have finally found the opportunity to test my phone with a Blackberry charger and it started charging the phone from the power point. That means the Motorola UK plugs I have are broken.
I'm arranging to purchase a Blackberry charger now. Don't want waste my time and money with Motorola anymore.
hello would like to know which is more convenient to charge the battery on or off the Atrix and benefits of each loading mode
Thx

Atrix on and sleep/idle wont charge as fast as of because of things running CPU load.
Atrix with no wifi, and bt on, and normal sync. Its taking mv's per second vs off where its able to gain the same charge rate while off. ( bare minimum resources used)
if you want to know what is better for your phone, I think it's the same.
As Ciloteille said, if your phone is on, it will take more time to load, that all for me
It's better for battery to charge slowly using USB from PC. Also, for battery is better to reduce heat. For example if you charge and play games, processor and batter will produce more heat.

Can u explain any on why its better to charge of a PC USB? Is the lower voltage producing less heat the reason or is the slower charge more efficient for another reason?

Basically for every battery is better to charge slowly because chemical process is less aggressive and in the same time produce less heat. PC USB can not provide enough current as charger.
I recommend to read this article How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries .
PC USB is 5volt correct? Were as most wall charger or car charger is 12 volt?

PC USB is 5V but charger is also about 5V. Difference is that PC USB 2.0 can provide 500mA and chargers more. For example Motorola charger provide 5,1V and 850mA. That's way charger charge battery faster. Some charger could provide 1000mA or more.

Ya that what i was just looking at. Basically what i am gathering from your info and that article is most chargers are designed to fill the battery fast, but what you reall want to do is a slow almost trickel charge like with a car battery were a low steady voltage and amperage is applied
Chargers are designed for fast charging just because users wish to charge battery faster is possible. They don't care about battery. Anyway modern battery will last longer than ordinary possession of the phone.
mmmmm and then I noticed that when you charge the battery with the phone off, it will download more slowly than when I load it on

Mine does that if i turn the phone off, but if i let it runn all they way dead i can fully charg it and the phone never turns on until i do so
