I just got a 700wx off ebay plugged it in and everything seemed to be working just fine. i left it alone for about 7hr to charge when i came back to check on it the battery was only 43% charged has any one had this problem if so what is the fix? I have searched this forum, googled it and check several other windows mobile and palm forums with no luck. Im hoping its just a battery but im afraid there is smothering wrong with the phone.

Re: Slow Charging

Could be either the charger, or as you suggested, the battery. I think the only way you'll know is if you try another charger or battery.

Yeah that's what I was thinking when i first got my phone the battery was flat dead i did some research and found people having the same problem when they let there battery completely die the fix for it was to tune off the radios, then plug it in and let it set for 24+ hours and it will slowly charge. i did that yesterday and so far today it seems to be charging like all my other wm phones. I think the phone senses a very low charge and goes into a trickle charge.
