Guest mhanbury Posted January 19, 2005 Report Posted January 19, 2005 Does anyone know where I can get a working USB Charge/Synch cable for the Blue Angel, apparently most show that they are charging but that does not appear to be the case, or is id because USB can't provide enough current to charge the Blue Angel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15819 :D

This implying USB has sufficient power to charge blue angel. Your saying what you want is a cable LIKE the cradle, but without the actual cradle portion on it?

Thats right, just a USB cable that I can keep in my bag that will at least charge the Blue Angel. I can synch via infra red, or as a bonus charge and synch at the same time. Do you know where I can get one that definately charges rahter than just pretending to do so? Cheers

Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well a quick look on expansys showed me this http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=1...&asource=116684 USB cables only have 4 wires in them, I'd have thought if the wiring were right for synching it'd be right for charging. I take it your bag isnt big enough to carry around your cradle? (Mine fits in latop bag OK, but I have a laptop rucksack type bag instead of breifcase type bag)
Guest mhanbury Posted January 22, 2005 Report Posted January 22, 2005 Yeah, unfortunately I've got the briefcase type and lots of other work stuff in it so was really looking for just a cable if possible!
Guest Dade Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 I have been told that there is no definitive answer to this problem. Its down to the USB standards. Apparantly the USB standard specifies that a PC can supply a maximum of 500mA through the USB interface. To charge the M2000 requires considerably more power especially as the devices all run with the backlight on when they are on activesync. Ive also heard that some PC's dont exactly fit the USB standard so will therefore charge the M2000. I suppose this makes sense to a degree as I have a charge and sync cable that work perfectly on my home PC with an Abit motherboard but doesnt charge with my office PC which is a Dell.
Guest nigidivitch Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 (edited) USB cable would be good as I don't want to have to buy another cradle for my pc at work... Edited January 24, 2005 by nigidivitch
Guest mhanbury Posted January 24, 2005 Report Posted January 24, 2005 Can you get the USB charge cables that have the double USB plugs so they can be plugged into two usb ports on the pc, like the one's you get with 2.5" USB portable hard drive caddies. That should address the power issue?
Guest sazoo Posted January 26, 2005 Report Posted January 26, 2005 I dont know if this helps or not, but someone on another thread in another forum has discovered that their old XDA original sync cable works with their new one... if you happened to have one lying around it might be worth a try. (Forget where I read it now, but I think it might have been in the "First 3 days with my Sx66" thread at HoFo)
