I used to be able to charge my x51v using a usb cable while it's on. After I upgrade the rom from WM5 17 to WM6 A03 RTM, I found it couldn't work anymore. Even though the power light is still yellow while it's in use. The battery indicator keeps lowering the percentage.

Something must have been changed from WM5 to WM6. Can anyone help to resolve the issue? I need it when I am using my GPS.

I have a similar issue, well, I figured out that it won´t charge when the device is on, it only charges if there is a 5.4 Vcc power supply. USB is only 5vcc, the light is on, but not charging. :mad:
I measured with an amperimeter to understand what was going on. When my axim is off and charging, there is some current, but if it is turned on, the current stops suddenly. :eek:
Another funny thing is that if the device is charging in computer USB port, and the battery is low (50%), the device won't turn on! :confused: I have to unplug the cord to wake up the axim...
BTW if you plug a 5.4vcc it will charge normally, turn on, turn off, everything...
I don´t believe that it´s a wm6 issue, but if you points it, we should ask for somebody with wm5 to run some tests.
