I also noticed that if I reset while it was connected to the charger when it finished rebooting the OS determined that the battery was at 10% and gave me critically low battery warnings. At the time, the battery had no less than a 60% charge- probably more.
MAN am I glad to know I wasn't the only one to have this! Been running the WM6 ROM since Saturday and aside from a few hiccips IT ROCKS! MUCH faster, more stable, more functional etc.

But yesterday I was ready for the ole "PPC6700 MEETS BRICK FIREPLACE MODE". I must have tried for nearly an hour and a half to get any kind of charging to work. I tried 2 different mobile chargers (NON-OEM), the stock cradle, a zillion soft resets and even a HARD reset. Removed the battery-twice. Nothing worked.

I finally left the battery out for about 20 minutes, did a hard reset when it finally came back on (had a black screen for a L-O-N-G time--sweatin' a bricked phone) and got it to charge again. Wierd thing is it ALWAYS charged at home hooked up to my laptop (USB) but I wasn't home at the time.

Still don't know what the deal was, but glad I had (and used) SPB Backup. Didn't lose a thing. BTW SPB Backup fit great into the EXT_ROM2 space. ROM available space, 1107 KB; SPB size: 1047. Still got 60 KB left!
