I thought I was imagining this with my Bionic, but I would get in the car and pop it into the Moto Windshield Mount/Dock with the battery at say 30%. I'd search for a location, drive there using Navigation app and when I got there I might still be at 30% or only at 40% after an hour of being plugged into the cigarette adapted thru the car dock. What??
So I read the list of Bionic Issues posted here Tips Official known Bionic problems reported from Verizon - Android Forums and I see this:
"....o 9/22/11 Google Maps & Car Chargers:
If using Google Maps with the Satellite layer enabled, a car charger will not fully charge the XT875.
Action: No work around required.
Resolution: No resolution required, working as designed and approved by Verizon Wireless. ...."
WHAT? WHAT? Come on seriously, you can't charge your Bionic when you are driving around if you decide to use Google Maps with Satellites??? And Verizon says that's '...working as designed...' and there's '...No resolution required...'


That is not OK to me, that's a major use case for the phone. Does that torque anybody else?? (And I have 2 standard batteries and the extended, but still....I can't charge in the car and navigate? WTF.
