As every t68i user know, when charging t68i when it's off, system LED is red, and changes to green when charging is finished. When charging phone that is turned on, screensaver doesn't show. However i recently noticed that the "Big clock" appears when battery is full (at least in R6A- don't know about previous SW). That way u can quickly see if charging is over without touching the phone to activate backlight and check battery icon.

What's up all! I usually charge my phone with the power on...and when the battery meter stops cycling, i unplug it. now, yesterday i turned my phone off immediately after charging with the power on and plugged it in again. then, the battery meter started cycling again, and didn't stop for a while(like 15 minutes). leads me to think that maybe it got a little more juice...Whadda ya think????

i believe that when the battery indicator stops cycling, that means that the fast charging is complete. however, you get the last 2% or so under trickle charging.

i usually leave my phone plugged in for about another 20 - 30 minutes after the indicator stops cycling, and it seems that i get longer indicated standby time in the battery status calculator.

@shawO:
