    Help Battery not trickle charging? Can I leave it charging overnight?

    Help Will messages still be "received" if the phone is off?

    In my new dorm, the cell service is shit. As a result, it is not uncommon for me to lose 40-50 percent of my battery overnight just from searching for service (all radios turned off).
