USB Charging - Is this normal
 

I connected my Touch to MS ActiveSync to Sync with my PC, but via that USB cable, my phone start to charge? Is this normal? thnx advance.

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

yes that is a alternative to charging from your wall charger

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Yep, this is a cable that both sends and recieves data, as well as power to your device. It is usually faster (I think) then your OEM Charger that came with your device. However, leaving your device connected to your computer can sometimes cause problems, so just make sure your device doesn't slow down after staying plugged in all the time. I don't have your device to say for sure, but often software will start to cause problems (really it is just bugs, that need to get fixed) so see if it impacts your performance any. You are probably fine, but before replacing your device, check that.

Thanks both of u guys. I have Sprint HTC Touch. I just noticed that I can charge it via USB cable just as via wall charger, very interesting.

This is just awesome!!

Can this be charged via Bluetooth?

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

No its cannot be charged via Bluetooth, it needs the physical cable connection...

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

nope but you can set up a wireless tether for your laptop via bt...but the charge on the activesync is a bit slower then the wall...

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Just for the record, the oem charger is about double the speed of the usb charge. From a dead battery to full my phone charges around 1.5h on wall charger, and around 3h on usb

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

yes, usb max current is 500mah, the oem wall charger is 1000mah.

math is your friend.

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

so our phones don't charge via Rev. A either??

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Is there anyways to switch the charging option via USB (if you prefer to)?
Also, is it safe to charge the phone via USB?

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Yes it is safe to charge your phone via usb, not really sure if there is a way to change it to be exclusively usb kinda sounds pointless seeing how its done automatically.As mentioned previously the usb charge from your pc is 1/2 the amount as the wall charger, that is why i feel like I get a more crisp charge from my pc then the wall but that's just a matter of personal opinion and has been discussed on threads before. Personal now i only use usb when I'm to lazy to walk upstairs and get my phone charger or if I have been drinking and I'm about to pass out on the couch, lol...

Hi Have a Tesla charger for my sprint and am able to charge wirelessly :O

Mobo

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

The wall charge is very fast compared to USB. USB is my preferred way to charge due to the problems with the wall charge and discharging the battery to dead (see related thread on this topic). Rev A charge was a joke right? I cant see any interference with USB and the software on the phone.

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

yes. rev a was a joke. lol.

P.s. Mobo, where can I get a tesla mini usb charger? I'd like to charge wirelessly, is it available through Ecare?
:-P

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Thanks.. I didn't know for certain, but thought that it was. Also, you can charge using almost every USB port, as I have tried it several times successfully. Although, it doesn't seem to work properly with PS2...

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

New one for me. The phone completely discharged itself last night. No hookups to wall or usb and had at least 80-90% charge. Not sure what could have been running but could not have been much. Time to wipe the memory again and rebuild.

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

was your blue tooth on? or did you have a existing data connection going? either one of these will kill your phone pretty quickly...

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Nope bluetooth or data not on. I think it was a gremlin... getting my "new touch" from vzw next week (cause of the crack issue) this will be my third phone from them. i will have to rebuild that one anyways...

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

those dang htc gremlins...lol

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

What?? via REV A?? I dont understand what you mean.

oops, sorry! missed the "it was a joke" post

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

This thread made me laugh.

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

it should it was for entertainment purposes only...LOL

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

you mean there is no tesla charger? that one actually sounds like it might work one day. of course you probably cant have wet hair around it or ever have children in the future....

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

children in the future? or an always charged winmo phone??

that's not a real hard decision for most ppl here...
did you forget what site you were on? :-P haha

Re: USB Charging - Is this normal
 

Sure, just remember to keep your activesync cable connected. There's a bug that prevents wireless charging unless you have the usb cable connected. At least that's my experience :scratch:

:mrgreen:
