I'm in another country (Israel) using someone elses XP computer. I've blown one travel charger
and have been charging my phone with my wife's laptop, but she's away for a few days and I'm now using a regular desktop. I can't get my Apache to charge, much less sync [I couldn't get it to sync with the laptop either, but I didn't really care, as long as it would charge] and I'm a little anxious. I went to connections and 'USB to PC' isn't there!
Also, every time the device sleeps, I get a warning that my battery is low and then critically low. When I go to check and turn the device on, battery levels are fine. Related? Fixable?
Any suggestions?
