Perhaps your best solution would be to use the phone as a phone, and
purchase a separate GPS unit to use for navigation.
Yeah. Maybe. I get your point.
But, I think that there is something *wrong* that I can diagnose and fix.
1. It could be rogue apps sucking power.
2. The battery tests good - but it could be the battery.
3. The charger needs to be tested to see what current it supplies.
4. It could be a design flaw
I'm sure there are lots of potential reasons, but, what I'm going
to do is try to measure the actual current in the USB cable.
For that, I plan to sacrifice a cable and hook up some test leads.
