That's the only thing I find weird myslef. The phone takes ages to charge from the computer. You might want to charge it from the wall charger.

Or if you insist you can turn of the phone and charge it while the phone is off. Or underclock your CPU so it could take less time to charge while phone Is on.

Are you using your phone (streaming something, leaving the screen on) while it is connected via USB? Many wall chargers are 1 amp while USB is only .5 amp.

Yeah it doesn't charge at all tho maybe because its draining more then its charging?

I hate how long it takes to charge via USB. I try to give of a chance, but I give up and end up plugging it to the wall :/

That was my thought as well, if you are just trying to stream music, you may want to turn the screen off, this may be the tipping point.

Turn off 4g when your charging your phone and it will charge quicker.

Coincidentally, I was charging my GNex at the office today. The OEM charger is 1amp, I am using a 780 Ma charger from my OK Droid. I wasn't streaming anything, just had the screen on and I went from about 40% to 26% in an hour. I turned the screen off and I went from 26% to 86% in an hour and a half. Its kind of ironic as I wasn't actually trying to do a test for this thread.
