Some guy in a different forum said that his 750 charged even with WM5. He said that you didnt hear the charging soud nor did you see the charging battery icon but that his charge gradualy went up. I havent noticed this myself though....

I can confirm that my WM5 750v does charge using the USB sync cable. No noise, no charging light, but it does charge.

Works on my WM6 ROM.

it doesn't ,because i put it on charger all night,battery 30%!

mat gues is that USB cable give it enough power not to discharge while conected but not to charge so if ur treo is inactive while on usb cable it will charge slowly

but if e-mail get deliwered over GPRS/EDGE etc, Alarms going off incoming text meseges coming and other things that force device to activate it will not charge.

maybe turning off Phone bit of treo (holding red button) will help charging through USB !!

P.S am not shure about these its just my idea !!!!

[travisb]

Yes, have to admit it is slow.

On WM5 I have seen my Treo charge on USB when connected to some computers but not others. On WM6 it works on all of my computers.
Don't some USB hosts have an optional higher voltage line, but not all do? Maybe WM5 requires the higher voltage, but WM6 works on either?
I don't really know what I'm talking about (yet) but I know I did see my Treo750 charge on USB on WM5 in some cases.

Tried this for myself. WM5 ATT Treo 750. Plugged it in to USB with a 75% charge. Phone off and active sync turned off. 100% charged in the morning although there were no indicators that it was charging.
Windows XP (SP2) desktop computer. USB 2.0

If it's like every other HTC device made in the last 10 years, there's no reason it shouldn't charge via USB, albeit slowly
