I'm totally in love with my Optimus Elite, but I'm running into one issue:
I often use Navigation while listening to podcasts in the car, and I noticed that even while on the charger, my battery will slowly go down. On a recent 5 hour drive my phone actually rebooted because the battery got too low.
I use a 2 amp car charger specially made for androids, and I've tested on my workbench that my phone is actually pulling 1 amp or 5 watts from that charger while charging. The phone also says that it is in wall charger mode (not usb) under the battery menu. I typically have bluetooth on in case of calls, but turn wifi off in the car. Of course the screen stays on with the navigation.
Is this normal? Is there a setting to allow my phone to pull more juice? Navigating and podcasting are my favorite things to do on this phone, it really bums me out that they might not be possible on long trips.
