I don't suggest leaving your phone in the car. Especially in warm weather. Not good for the guts of the phone
Also for security. Ppl love to steal phones

There are some folks (like me, before I retired) that go to work in a security environment where they have 18 year olds with machine guns to make sure you don't bring your phone into the facility. I've been known to leave mine in the car under these circumstances

On the plus side, those same 18 year olds are guarding your parked car with your phone in it!

Sounds familiar. I keep it in the center console, out of the sun. Its fine. Been doing it for almost a year. Not much I can do about it either way, its either that or leave it home and have no phone.

I think that anyone who has a nearly full phone and gets an uncharged brick by morning must either have a defective phone, very bad signal, or has some heavy usage.

It's not about keeping up a charge. It's about why a phone should brick when it runs out of juice. Mine doesn't. It shouldn't. If anyone's does, it's broken.

I think Phil was trying to say that it ran out of batteries by morning, not that it bricked when it ran out of batteries.

Well, okay. Maybe so. But of course, it shouldn't do that either. Mine doesn't. But...

His phone must've had a rouge app that continued draining his battery. I've never had this happen to my phone.

This is interesting, since it happens to me all the time. I guess my Thunderbolt is defective.

So tell me, why wouldn't you keep your phone on charge overnight anyway?
Not disagreeing, just trying to understand something.
