ya, me too

yeah i noticed the same thing pestilent noticed. now i just turn the phone off and charge when i go to sleep. the battery seems to last a lot longer now

Thanks dude. ANyone else have any input to add? I'd really appreciate it.

I think optimized charging means that it will charge with a shorter time for your own convience. If you charge it with the phone off, it with charge with a standard time, meaning charging the batt to the max.

What's best? Charging the phone while it's off or while it's on.

When the phone's on and i connect it to the charger I get an "Optimized Charging" message on the screen. Yet when the phone's off I just get a "charging" message.

Have any owners found a difference between both methods? I mean does the battery last longer if the phone's off while it's charging?

I used the optimized charging method and the battery only lasted two days. I could have sworn it lasted longer when i charged it when it was off.

Thanks guys
