I'm using the tilt as an HSDPA modem for my PC, but doing this drains the battery of my tilt. Is there a way that I can charge my tilt while using it as a modem? Maybe I have to tweak a setting, hopefully nothing is wrong or unusual.

Google tilt audio cable. Some sites sell an accesory which has two mini usb's and a stereo jack on it. This should do it. Plug your sync cable in with your charger cable. Or try two sync cables maybe one will charge.

Bottom of the screen - there's an option "When the device is turned on, Do not charge the battery when connected to the PC"
Make sure thats unchecked

I tried using the stereo headphone adapter with 2 usbs in several configurations, but I could not get it to work. I did discover that my tilt only stops charging when it is receiving or transmitting large volumes of data, such as streaming video or downloading a large file. If the connection is then idle for a little while, the tilt will start charging again. I also made sure that "When the device is turned on, Do not charge the battery when connected to the PC" was unchecked in the advanced power settings. If I can't figure this out, then I probably just have to be conservative about my bandwidth usage.
