After using the XDA 1 since its release, I managed to get a SPV M1000. many advantages however Video and Camera are not very good !

Problem:
I charge from my sync when my desktop PC is on however as soon as I swich my desktop PC off the USB loses power ? and stops the charging. Is there a setting for this ? or is this normal ? my XDA 1 does charge from the USB when the desktop PC is off !

any ideas please

however Video and Camera are not very good !

no phone or webcams (cmos chip video )that i've seen is very good quality, suppose thats the price one pay for lower power comsuming and cheap production cost and smaller size

about the xda2 then at least my cradle have a connector where i can plug in the charger adaptor if i want to charge without having my computer on

unless orange use a different cradle which i doubt then you too can plug in that charger if it dident come with the device you can prob buy it or use any charger with the same connctor and power voltage

Stupid me !

after using the XDA 1 sync for so long, I forgot about the adapter being pugged in to the sync. However the handbook that came with it does not advise on charging so not entirely my stupidity.

thanks anyway

I think it depends on your PC's motherboard too. I have USB power to the cradle all the time, even when the PC is shut down. I don't use the power charger with the cradle ever - it's only for emergencies.

I agree. I have an abit Nf7-s motherboard and the usb port still delivers power when my computer is down

not if you pull the plug it dont :P
it all comes down to if the vsb 5volts standby
is connected to the usb
when there is an option in the bios to let keyboards turn on ones computer then it should work

if the usb is on a pci card like some of my usb2 cards is then it's up to the card
pretty sure mine dont
