really slow battery charging (via USB and wall...)

---

Obviously worse with the USB charging. Barely charging at all that way, in fact. But even with the wall charging, it is very very slow -- anyone else having this problem? Any known fixes?

Yes I agree it is slow... Very slow.
My Photon was very fast charging up, it was incredible.

Guys... The original epic charges super slow. The epic touch 4g charges way faster than the original epic even with a bigger battery.

That's how it is for me as well. Its much faster than the Epic. I don't know how it compares to the Photon.

Samsung smartphones are generally slow charging. My Nexus S 4g takes 4 to 6 hours to charge. Head on over to Samsung Galaxy S2 forum and you will hear the same complaints. Previous models, and I think Epic Touch are too, built to limit charge rate to 650 ma max. It may limit the charge rate even further if the phone is being used while charging.
This was the info I was able to dig up while researching the cause of my slow charging Nexus S.

Photon charged about 5x faster than my epic... So gs2 should be slower than photon..

Isn't the charging rate partially a function of the kernel? I could swear that one of the devs at SDX tweaked a kernel for the Moment, and one of his tweaks was "Increased power draw from USB for quicker charging."

Best way is chrage at nite time

Yes, but IIRC no one was successful at manipulating for the OG epic, not sure if it was galaxy related or not. Hopefully we'll have a dev who can make it happen on this device.
