Super Long Charging Time & Short Battery Life?

When I went to the office, the phone was at 30%, plugged in my esteem at 9am. It reached 100% at 5PM. IS it really that long for esteem to charge. Now my phone is at 73% (11PM PST).

1. I have an extended battery.
2. I used the outlet charger (not PC charging)
 
I've noticed that if the screen is on, or I'm browsing while charging it doesn't move much. It takes me about 2-4 hours to get a full charge on my stock battery. I can only imagine the extendrd battery also extends charging time. try turning off mobile data, using wifi or if possible turn the phone off and let it get a good deep charge.
 
it takes quite a bit of time if you are charging with the phone ON.


i try to charge it in the morning when i can leave it OFF for a few hours.

i bought the extended battery -- but since i won't be able to use my Trident case with the extended battery, i decided to get the desk charger and one more OEM standard battery....since you can have a battery on the desk charger charging up all the time, and just switch batteries.

i love the phone.....this much power and capability needs a lot of battery!


i remember being unhappy with the last extended battery i had -- it made the phone so much more bulky and unpleasant to carry......learned my lesson.....gonna stick with the slim, stock OEM battery!
