HP 1945 Major Problemos

Okay, I've had this thing for only about 8 months and it is giving me major issues.
The battery never seems to charge fully. As soon as you turn it on after being connected and synchronizing it all day (so it's charging), the battery is already down to like 85%.
In addition, it locks up constantly.
Any ideas guys?

Does it have a adapter so you can charge it plugged into the wall? If you use that method for charging does it do the same thing?

Yes, no matter what the method (directly into the wall or through the USB adapter), it never seems to get fully charged.
Actually, I had to do a hard reset and restore from backup and it's working somewhat better, but still no full charge.

Actually it's working great now.
I figured out it was probably the SciFi bar today screen plugin I had running. Once I removed that it starting working just fine. Weird.
I liked that too, but not as much as I like battery time.
