Hello,
I've been using my Onyx i86+ for a while now and everything is working as expected. However, I noticed that charging via my laptop's USB port is a very slow process. I have three different USB adapters rated at 0.5A, 1A and 2A. All are rated at 5V. I first decided to use the 0.5A adapter and charged the i86 to 100%. I didn't use the the i86 that day. The next day I noticed that the battery was about half way which was weird because I used to notice only about 5% drop when its in standby mode. At the time, I assumed I had forgotten the i86 on and so the LEDs drained the battery.
Two days ago, I decided to use the 1A adapter and charged it fully. A few hours later, the charge was down to 90% even when it was in standby mode. I went to work, returned home and saw the charge at 60%.
I've taken a couple of screenshots. What is going on ??
