Micro USB Charging Phone from PC

Hi there msouhlas

The pc charging works, but you have to remember that it the pc an some usb chargers, only put out 500 mah, this can be easily overcome by the phones power demands depending on what your doing.

If you shut down Active sync, then shut screen off, an check a hour later, you'll see it building a charger more rapidly off of the pc.

I seen this behavoir streaming BT audio in my truck an plugged into usb charger there, but if i shut off the screen an un-needed programs running in background while i stream, i gain more charge then lose.

Though the wal-wart charger puts out 1ah(1000mah) of power an can provide power, charge some at same time.

She's a little devil alright.

I noticed this on mine as well, but I actually started turning off the screen when I connected it to the computer. With my tilt it would charge really slow, but it would still charge. I have my phone to keep the light on when plugged in, but that will actually drain the power even while plugged in. It's not as fast as if were unplugged, but still...

I actually get better charging using my "e-sata/sleep and charge usb" port on my laptop, so use that if you have one.

Sure does sound like a bad connector.

Though, i'm wondering if, the CP wasn't pinned during every attempt at a A/S connection, an that will easily overpower the charge rate of the PC.

Plugged in wal-wart, no A/S locking the CP up, so no problem...


Just pondering aloud.

The dragon, the central processor,sorry,  the one on the phone is what i was refering to.

That's not really an indicator of usage percentage, though task manager shows it.

Use the default Wm Task Manager, and view process's and usage there...

Though, i suspect its hooped anyways, can try for curiousity i guess.

SO the CP wasn't pinned, interesting.

Even better, will be once you have a new one in your hands and it WORKS
