Re: Charging via USB
wierd, I think I charge my phone more with my usb cable cuz it is also easier to install apps and other crap onto my sd card....
I am wishing I had a card that was bigger than 2gb....heh for $16 I guess it was a deal

Re: Charging via USB
ActiveSync isn't required to charge the device. Make sure it's a USB 2.0 port you're plugging into. Try plugging into the back of the computer.

Re: Charging via USB
It's just strange that it's SO picky. Not that activesync is necessary, but that is a PITA (Pain in the ...) but that using a cable from a 2.5" notebook USB drive causes the Q to get totally pissy ("that's not an authorized cable!") when all that I was looking to do was to get the thing charged. It's really hard to use when it's got less than 10% power left and you're no where near a "activesync" equipped pc and the charger is 15 miles away and there are 100 USB connectors in the room. (he works at a lan center).

Re: Charging via USB
I donno I guess, I use the standard cord that came with my phone itself. But yeah, really frustrating isn't it. My guess is its along the lines of what explicit had to say, with the usb port not being 2.0. If it is an older computer....could be an issue

Re: Charging via USB
I thought I'd read in the docs that without activesync it can power the phone but not charge the phone but we're finding that it's really picky about ports. The general references I've seen show it pulling 850ma which is certainly over USB spec unless it's a "Charging USB" port which, I thought, said it was allowed 1 A.
Yet USB ports that power my treo 700wx (which really appears to be a serious power sucker) are refused by the picky moto Q... |

Re: Charging via USB
I only have ActiveSync on my laptop, but haven't had any problems charging on any other computer. But I have noticed that the Q9c is a finicky phone...
