I wrote this before
here and
here, but apparently, people can't read. Your phone doesn't have AI, it is a simple algorythm that controls the charging.
There are two different charging modes. One controlled by an algorythm when the handset is on and the other limited only by the strength of the charging unit when the handset is off.
The algorythm method is termed "optomized charging" by Sony Ericsson and is designed to protect the battery in the handset by not allowing an "overcharge". It provides protection by reducing the voltage differential between the battery and the charger as the battery approaches its peak design voltage.
With the handset is turned off, the charger simply continues to try to elevate the voltage in the battery until it's in parity with the charger. That process, continued too long, will overheat and damage the battery.
Sony Ericsson technical support advises not to let the handset charge overnight when the handset is turned off . The resultant overcharge condition shortens battery life considerably. If you do elect to charge the handset's battery while the phone is turned off, limit charging time to 3 hours.
And yes, the battery indicator, showing a full charge when the handset is turned on, will once again show that the battery is charging when the phone is turned off because it is charging, it's overcharging.

when i take my battery out of my phone it looses time. but if i put it in and leave it off, it "remebers" the time for next time i switch it on. Does this mean it uses battery power when its switched off?
