Don't know about other phones, but Apple's charger for the iPhone is 1A. In my experience (going on 4th battery), charging it with a larger charger can charge it up quicker, but will reduce overall battery life.
For example, charging it with the iPad charger (2.1 amp) can charge it quicker, but the battery gets noticeably warm and warm/hot=bad. It also seems to not last as long per charge.
I would guess this would go for any lithium rechargeable battery.
Ive not seen that at all. The regulator should be in the phone and not dependent on its power source since the designer has no clue what the USB current source is. The only time mine warms up is when charging with WAZE and my NAVIGON app running
