Correct way to charge your phone?

I was just wondering what the correct way to charge your phone is. I have an AT&T tilt. When the battery would get to like 3% I would just turn it off and then plug in my AC wall charger that came with it and leave it until it was fully charged. But I want to leave my phone on all the time so I dont miss calls, So when I leave it on while charging the phone gets pretty warm and the screen turns on by itself randomly. And when i plugged it in the other night before i went to bed (phone was still on whole night) in the morning I went to wake it up and it wouldnt. When i slid the keyboard out it lit up and everything so it was definitely on, but the screen wouldnt come on no matter what I did. Am i not suppose to be charging it while the phone is still on or leaving it plugged in for a long time after the battery has reached its full charge using the AC wall charger that came with it. Should I instead by one of those cradle chargers cuz dont they have a thing where once your battery is full, it will stop charging it? Any feedback would be really appreciated. Thank you.
hmm i dont really know bout u
but i've really never turned off my phone....the tytnII or any of my previous phones i would just leave it on day and nite and i go to bed i charge it or any time when i'm home if its low on battery

How are you charging it? Supplied wall charger or USB port?
The supplied wall charger will turn it on initially and it should then turn back to standby as set by your power settings. Make sure you don't have it set to ramain on when on external power.
USB charge connection to PC or laptop will keep polling the phone if Activesync is enabled and turn it on continuosly.
Some external chargers, such as the ones for the previous TyTyn (not TyTynII) required two pins connected to enable charging and if you are using one of those the TyTynII thinks a data connection is being made and randomly powers up.
It's been my experience to keep the battery on a charger whenever possible. Those batteries "like" to be topped off. I have killed a couple of batteries by running them down all the way and trying to bring them back to life. Li Ion batteries are not like NiCads
When I'm driving, it's plugged in. At home, it's on my desk charging. While I sleep, it's charging on my night stand.
I found charging when every possible, and keeping it topped off as much as possible will enable the battery to last longer for those times you can't get to a charger. This has been the case for all the HTC phones I've used.

Weird charging

So I've noticed my battery not always charging to 100%. And almost always when I leave it hooked up to the charger over night, it's only at 97-95%. So to get it to 100% I have to plug it out for a while and back in, and it very slowly charges to 100%. Why does this happen?

Samsung Wireless charger (wireless charging)

So i have noticed that with the Samsung wireless charger i got with my phone. That somehow the charger itself knows when the phone is fully charged or being charged.
Once the phone is fully charged the wireless charger stops charging. This is annoying because i put my phone on the wireless charger when i go to bed. Now when i wake up the phone is not at 100% because it stopped charging.
Also with my old LG wireless charger the phone does not want to work with it. It charges but the charge light on the charger is yellow indicating its slow charging.

Constant on and off wireless charger okay?

At my desk, I use a wireless charger - plugged in via nonfast charger so it's just a slow charge. But question is, I'm constantly putting it on and off the charger. Is this bad for the battery? Constant on and off charging throughout the day?

Question Wireless charging 9w

Hi, I have a question.. I bought Samsung wireless charger 9w and I charged the phone completely switched off and the charging time was approximately 4 hours.. Is it normal? Maybe the wireless charging not working in fast mode if the phone is powered of?? Thanks..
9w is really low power to charge a 5000mah battery sooner than that
of course its normal with a 9w charger ... thats damn slow
Another question, is it bad for the battery on the long run?
I usually charge overnight during sleep so I don't mind slow charging just curious about battery life. Thanks
Qi standard allows one to use even lower charging power than that 9W for safer overnight charging. Check the alignment of the charging coils for optimal result.
9W is not fast wireless charging, it is normal; 15W is fast wireless charging.
