My understanding of non-optimsed is that it doesn't increase the battery % it just maintain.
USB charging do non-optimised, so when using you phone usb e.g. as a modem you don't run out of battery but doesn't necessary charge the phone.

I don't think that is it as you can use usb to charge your phone to max. It's about the charger I think.

I've wondered about this.. supposed feature myself.
And I find the discription given by ericsson themselvs regarding the feature quite peculiar having noticed a few things;
[quote]SE or Ericsson then said optimised charging is the charging process in which your battery is charged at the right pace and charging stopped automatically soon as the battery is full.[endquote]
I use a retail USB cable for my k310i and I always get optimized charging!
What makes me dislike this medium however is that its using USB power to charge! - the usb port exudes 6v / 12v.
The battery problems phones have nowadays are rooted with their chargers. Without going into the technicalities....
SOOO many providers issue "fast travel chargers", which have higher VOLTAGES, but lower current. This will yeild a FASTER charge time, BUT, less usage (standy/call) from the battery!.
The ORIGINAL chargers, use LESS voltage, and suitable current. This will see them taking LONGER to charge, but the batter will support the phone for LONGER, AND, will live longer over the years. - the former mentioned also reduces battery cycles.
my Issue:
I've found that charging with the USB cable - sees my battery lasting significantly less (TRIEDThat short article above about the bar showing full when Bat % = 90+ is also quite true.
I've started using a lil 12v batt (believe it or not, 12v) to drain my bat to NOTHING after every battery death, before charging. It helps

Usb cable cannot charge your phone as the regular charger does. The USB ports have lower voltage and the electicity is not that good as the one of the charger. So I wouldn't recommend charging the phone on the PC always.
USB charging is good to help you in life or death situation.. When you are in desperate need of energy to power up your phone battery. For everyday life usage, the charger is unreplaceable imho.

My K800i does the same. Even though when i press volume keys on side it tells me charging 100% if i unplug it then plug back in it then starts charging again. But to be honest some of my old Nokia phones did the same.

Well If I got you right, you mean that the phone is charging even if you put it on charget with full battery???
That's a bit normal for some phones imo. In fact My W800 used to do that all the time, while it wasn't the case with my K800 or the P1 I'm using at the moment.
