Re: Omnia crashing home computer when syncing

It may be an issue with using Vista at home and XP at work, but I never had this problem with my XV6900 on these two computers.
Mine does this if I use the charging cradle. Does not if connected only to USB. It will happen every time. The only workaround I have found is to: (With Power to the Cradle)
1. Disconnect charging cradle from computer USB.
2. Plug charging cradle into Omnia.
3. Reconnect charging cradle to computer USB.
If I leave both the Cradle connected to both Power and Computer USB it will crash immediately upon connecting to the Omnia--Every time.

Must be some kind of feedback loop when connected this way that blows the Opto-isolator on the USB circuit.
