Have you seen this Motorola Technical Bulletin?

My point is that it is NOT necessarily that simple. That even if the charger is rated to provide adequate current, the phone may not accept its maximum current draw. If the current flow rates I observed remained consistent throughout the charge process, the DX and Bionic would charge about 13% slower on the HTC charger (assuming the entire current is used for charging the battery). Probably not a significant problem for most people but for power users that may rely on small bump charges on their drive to work/home to get them through the day, it might be critical. Could be even more important for people who use battery intensive applications while driving/charging. If the running apps draw 500mA then that may only leave 250mA available to charge the battery. 100mA less than that is a 40% difference. That would probably be significant to a lot more people...

All but one of my chargers are labelled with their output amperage, so I can choose either a more powerful one or not. The bionic charger is rated at 850 ma. My MiFi charger is 1.05 A. I have another that isn't rated, but it works. I have others that aren't handy at the moment for me to check their output, but they all work. Plugging into my PC is almost a waste of time as the USB output isn't enough to keep up with the phone's current requirements.
 
Assuming there aren't any conditions that cause the phone to accept more current, both the bionic and the dx only pulled 750mA max regardless of the charger's rated output. My testing included a 1A and two 2.1A car chargers. I also tested the OE motorola asked htc chargers. None of the phones I tested reached the charger's rated output with the exception of a 750mA motorola charger which its as much as the phones appear to take.
 
I agree nothomg is perfect, mine seems mostly fine but i do have the connectivity problem for mine if I go to my parents house there is very little coverage and i loose my data abilities, then when I travel back to where i do have service I have to toggle airplane mode to get data back.
 
Forgot my charger at home, went to store to get a new one, just a cheap one from walmart and it will charge the phone but touchscreen does not work while it is plugged in, but i did find out my wifes Blackberry plug works fine.
 
There is no issue on SD. it works as designed. I've been saying this for awhile. Also most bugs u all have isn't a bug. Designed and approved by vzw. I'm still rocking my day one device no issues. No fb no headphone whine. I have my memory swapped so I don't have that issue I already new about hand of issue
What's with the blind love affair with Verizon?

What they have done with the SD card is downright stupid and small minded on the part of Verizon. Of course, most people do realize it is not impossible to reach the storage capacity of a phone.
 
How do you do a memory swap?
