Guest phrozen_lad Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 hi guys,is there anyway of charging through usb if the phone is unable to switch on? ive left the wall charger at home an i dont get back until 3weeks!!! the phone wont switch on because the batterys that flat,all i have on me is the usb cable.

Guest ricardo the fish Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 You should be able to charge from a USB with the phone off. But you may have to have activesync installed on the relevant computer. Can't check this myself, but my C550 charges from my PCs USB when the phone is off. Hope this helps.

Guest pd.ryder Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Ricardo is right - 550 should accept a charge via USB from any PC. If it does ar*e about, d/l ActiveSync from the MS website - any version should do the trick (I can't see why it should need it if the phone is 'off' because it won't need to 'see' the device but I guess Bill Gates is the only one who can answer than one properly ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotphil Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Will it not matter if the USB socket is powered or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Mine charges fine from an unpowered USB. It takes longer than using the mains charger but that's because the current is limited from the USB socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
