I've had my W800i plugged into the USB data cable to the PC (which also works as a charger for the phone. I check the "Phone Status" in the settings and it says 88% for the battery. So I leave it plugged in for longer (even overnight) and the battery is still at 88%. It doesn't seem to go above that. Does anyone know why this is? I can't seem to charge it passed 88%. |

This seems to be a fairly common symptom for K750/W800s. Personally I gave up on using USB charge for my K750 - incredibly slow and, like you've experienced, it frequently stuck around 80-90%. It's no real issue with the awesome battery life though, I listen to a good deal of mp3s, watch video, play games, etc etc and still only need to do a charge (with the AC adaptor) every three days

Okay, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one with this issue. So using the outlet charger should take it all the way up to 100% right? |

I think USB charging is crap anyway. Had my PSP charging overnight while it was switched off on USB with the charging light on. Said 42% charged, next morning it said 39% charged. Useless if you ask me. |

It appears that to make pretty much anything charge on USB you have to be doing things on yur computer. I dont know why but it seems to work.

I have found that my W800i only charges on the USB cable when it's plugged into my laptop where the drivers are installed. I will install drivers on another computer where it didn't charge previously. |
