oh man good advice...ive actually always just used the USB to charge when im at work and it usually works fine but today has been horrible...i am using it while its charging maybe thats why.....
im not doing any damage to my phone by charging thru USB rite?
i mean i will bring in my extra charger tommorrow but jhust curious.
You will not damage you phone by dong this. It just may not charge fully.
"Tests have shown" that charging with the original wall charger, charges faster and gives you better battery life than by any other method.
Look at the label on the charger and check the outpu current. My old 8310 had a charger that delivered 500mA (0,5Amps) - the same as a USB port at 5 volts. My new 8900's charger says it delivers 700mA which is more than a USB port is supposed to deliver. Even so my 8900 charges well enough on my beat up old Dell laptop.
Perhaps you can check the label on you Bold's charger to see what the output current rating is.
It won't hurt it. I didn't have an issue for along time, then one day pulled it off the cable and it had barely charged. Switched to the wall charger that night.
Most desktop pcs, the usb ports on the rear output more than the usb ports on the front. Some are primary sockets onboard to the motherboard while others are secondary that do not produce much power.
