About LinkBacksIs it normal for a bionic to drain faster than it charges with heavy 4g tether usage on wall charger and USB charger.

11-13-2012 03:54 PMYeah that's pretty much how it goes unfortunately. Start with a fresh battery especially USB tethering it drops like a rock with only 500mA to work with.

11-13-2012 04:01 PMAnyone know if I could just use a factory cable without a battery for tethering instead? I feel like I'm going to murder my battery using tether as much as I'm going to.

I think that would be the only way to do it. A factory cable supplies power even when the phone is powered off so theoretically it should work. You are talking about the TBH cables right? Originally Posted by neveragon

11-13-2012 05:57 PMUsually when i wifi tether i am plugged in with a car charger. It seems to break even between discharge and charge. Also, the phone gets hot as hell.

11-15-2012 11:34 AMOne suggestion, if you're just using the Bionic for tethering, why not actually under-clock the phone to 800 Mhz or less since you don't really need processing speed and this usually helps with the battery drain and heat issues. I've done this quite a few times on different ROMs and it does make a difference. Just a thought from the peanut gallery! Originally Posted by DerekWeber
