If you sit close to a wallsocket while you talk, you can just leave your phone plugged in.

If you mean some magical way to charge a battery by using it and not charging it, no.

ohh well when i have it plugged in to a wallsocket it doesnt show that it is charging

really? Are you sure the battery icon isn't moving? If the phone is on it doesn't really say its charging. Just the battery icon animates. And part of the juice goes to powering the phone so the battery doesn't charge as fast.

As far as I've heard, the phone doesn't charge when you're talking, but it just gets enough power from the wall to keep it on while you talk. When you hang up, it starts to charge.

Any battery isn't charged on a cdma phone due to the graet power consumption of the phones. You have to buy a new extended battery of 1,500 MAh or play less on it.
Good luck!

Or you could get a car charger and charge it while on the run.

Does this work on the Xcursion/KX160 as well?

All Kyocera phones display this trait; the phone will not charge while it's in an active call, because Kyocera believes this to be damaging to the battery. Whether it's true or not, I couldn't say, but all of their phones are designed this way, and it's not a flaw, per se.

I have heard about 3rd party chargers (home, car) that can bypass this circuit protection and charge the phone whilst talking, but I'm personally a bit iffy when it comes to 3rd party anything nowadays, and haven't looked into it, myself. But it might be worth some Google searching...

yeh that sucks, but as long as it's plugged in, it wont die on you while your talking!
