Droid Incredible charging more after the phone is off?

Hi I have read a lot threads regarding battery life and issues but I decided to post here since Verizon responds to these posts. Whenever I charge my phone I unplug it after the light turns green and its fully charged, after reading one of the forums I tried charging till the light turned green then I turned off the phone and to my surprise the light changed from green to orange and the phone continued on charging for another 30 minutes until it turned green. Is there a problem with the battery or the phone software recognizing fully charge too early?

I would appreciate any advice

i'm not sure if it's an issue. i've done that though a couple times and did not notice any extended battery life? fyi....you can get 2 batteries and an external wall charger on ebay for $12 (total...it's one set). that's what i did and i just replace the battery each morning so i only have to charge all three batteries every 3rd night.

Hi I have actually noticed a difference because before after less than an hour the battery would read close to 90% but now its taking much longer, the reason for my post is that if the light is green when the phone is on and it says fully charged why can one charge for an extra 30 min when the phone is off? does this mean that the battery is not fully charged when the phone is on?

( P.S I am getting all day worth of work from the battery and wouldnt change this phone for anything :smileyhappy:

not sure...but i know what you're talkin about. i've not tracked it in small increments of time. i've only noticed that either way, i get just about 30 hours so i don't mess with it. i love it too and i know it'd be nice to get 2-3 days....but the people complaining about it expect too much imo. the phones are insane....and are going to require more juice than older ones that you may have got 2-3 out of. i'm happy with a full day!!

same here Who doesnt want a phone that can last 2-3 days without charging? I am happy with the battery life even though it could be better and i hope with an OTA they can improve it a a little. As long as i get a whole day with it im happy :smileyhappy:
