Is something wrong?

I've downloaded a Texas Hold'em game and when I play it, my battery dies quicker than I can charge it. I use Taskiller to lighten the load on my battery. Currently I am charging it from the computer; Would it be better to charge from an outlet?

What happens when you uninstall for a day? Does the battery life last as long as expected? Give it a try and/or as a process of elimination, start removing installed apps one at a time just to see if one of these may be the culprit... else plan b

Ive read that charging from a computers usb port gives a less charge that straight from a wall plug.. And I thought the article said "it may actually weaken" the battery's life in time when the battery is "trained" to this method of charge over and agan? I could be totally incorrect...but, I only use computer charge when necessary.

It's not that the battery is running dry when I'm not doing anything, its when I'm playing the game. I can understand if its rough on the battery since its constantly using data, but I didn't think it would kill the battery while it's charging.

I had a feeling it was a weaker charge, thanks for the input!

I can confirm the weaker charge, my droid charges noticably slower when plugged into a computer vs outlet. I dont think anythis is wrong with anything, just the hardware can't keep up... ive had this happen to me too

I guess thats what I mean, its a slower charge...so. If its pugged into the computer f otr a short while, then still, it may not get a full charge..

But its a nice convenience should a wall outlet is too far away or is not available because they are all "plugged up"
