    Battery actually discharges while connected to car dock and car power adapter

    Does this happen to anyone else? I live in a 4g area and my battery can't charge the phone fast enough to even keep up while using the navigation. What is the point then?! It is very frustrating. I love this phone but this one is really bothering me since I used to use my Droid all the time as a GPS nav. Is there a higher power car adapter I should be using?

    Same here, no issues charging while in the car....

    I had this happen due to an app consuming my battery faster than my phone could charge. I would recommend rebooting then keeping tabs on what is draining your batteries.

    Don't have thunderbolt but had the same issue w/ D1 while using goog nav/pandora simultaneously. Was 90% when plugged in, and 70% after my 2hr car ride. After subsequent updates to the OS/maps/nav I haven't had this issue as much... You may just need an update?

    Mine caught on fire through my car adapter.

    The Yugo just doesn't charge like it used to.

    Yes, you need 1000mah rated adapter.
