Guest joshaleejordan Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 i just purchased a bluetooth thing for my car that has a usb out to charge mp3 players and such. is there an app that allows me to charge my omnia with this. plugging it in doesn't do anything, and i'll run the battery down like crazy if i don't have it charging while i play music. the bluetooth thing takes up my ac out. on a side note, i flashed about 1000 cooked roms yesterday after some re-assurance from blazingwolf. those of you who are complete punks to new guys like me could use a lesson from one of the more predominant members of this board..... be nice.

Guest blazingwolf Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 the usb cable doesn't charge and really doesn't charge from the computer Hmm, not quite true. It will charge but it will not do so while using the device as it requires more power in than a USB port can provide. Typically if the devices is above 50% charge or so (this can be different for each laptop and device) and not being used then the USB port will charge the phone.

Guest joshaleejordan Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 ahhhhhh. that explains so much. the only way i've ever been able to get a charge from the computer is to make sure i've ended all tasks and the display is off. the "charge/plug" icon doesn't even turn on when i plug up to the device i just bought. oh well. guess i have to buy a lame ac splitter. thanks for the input guys.

Guest kingneptune Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Or buy a truck like mine with two cigarette lighter sockets :) Those splitters are ok though for what you need. My car stereo accepts Stereo Bluetooth though so I just leave the phone plugged into the 12v car charger. I have never notice the lack of charging from PC, mind you I've always used a desktop, maybe laptops don't supply the same amout of juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
