V551 display on while charging.

My wife and I have the same model (V551).

When the travel charger is plugged in her 551 display(external) lights up.

Mine does not.

Anyone know if this is an anomaly or is there a setting that causes it?

Thanks,
Alex

Both 551's here exhibit the same bahaviour, so I'd like to know also.

It is normal on some flexes from what I read. And ROC, why would he have to
get a new cell?

You didn't say what chargers you were using. In my experience with
Motorola phones, this behavior depends on the output of the charger.

If it is a low or mid-range charger, the display goes out after a little
while. If it is a high-output charger, the display stays on througout.

Both chargers are Motorola.

Plugged into any charger hers stays lighted during entire charge.

Mine does not. Nor does another that a family has.

No biggie...just curious.

Are they both the same firmware version? There is a firmware update
that addresses a few things, including the light staying on, plus bad
battery life.

My V551 behaves the same. I think it has to do with the charger plug not
making a good contact with the phone. The display light should go off after
few seconds. If the light does not go off then disconnect the power cord
and plug it back in the phone.

Here is the probable answer:

With most Motorola GSM phones, when a slow or midrate charger is plugged in,
the lights time out.
When a fast rate charger or car charger is used (1 hour rate), the lights
stay on due to the higher current capability.

You can tell the difference. If you have two chargers (wall type) and one
has a much heavier cable, then its a fast rate charger. The slow rate
chargers have very thin twin lead.

This could be the answer, Andre but it doesn't mention "when plugged in" to
charger.

I'll check it out....Thanks.

Been there....done that.

The phone is charging OK...But light remains on.

Think Andre may have the answer.
