    Q: Why is charging of Motorola phones so slow on the travel charger?

    A: The standard travel charger packaged by Motorola with many current
    phones puts out insufficient power for fastest possible charging and for
    continuous use while charging.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    For example, charger SSW-0509 for the V551 puts out only 375 mA. The
    V551 detects this as a slow charger, and thus keeps the external display
    backlight off during charging. Worse, there's not enough current to
    keep up with use of the phone while charging, so while the phone is use,
    the battery will still be discharged even with the phone on the charger.
    With a fast charger the external display backlight is on during
    charging, and the phone can be used while the battery is charging.

    Motorola makes fast 1500 mA chargers that are compatible with these phones:
    * SPN4716* (where * might be "B" or "C"), also known as
    * NNTN4250 (nominally for Nextel, but also works with non-Nextel phones).
    These chargers are readily available from dealers and on eBay for under
    $15 (plus shipping).
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Motorola mini USB (EMU) chargers for RAZR, KRZR (with power output if known):
    * Wall "travel" (AC) charger (comes with the phone)
    + Motorola SPN5185/SPN5185A/SPN5185B/98604H: 550 mA (mid)
    + Motorola SPN5202/98605: 850 mA (fast)
    * Car (12V) charger
    + Motorola SYN1630/SYN0847/98603H/VC700
    * External rechargeable battery/charger
    + Motorola SPN5353/P790/98782H
    * (5 pin) mini USB cable to computer: 500 mA
    + Motorola SKN6371C
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    (For what it's worth, Motorola probably saves less than $1 in cost by
    packaging slower chargers instead of fast chargers with its phones.)

    Q: Where can I get USB modem drivers for Motorola cell phones?

    A: <http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/Handset_USB_Driver/>
    [registration required, but free]

    1. UNinstall any existing driver in Device Manager before installing this
    driver.

    2. Install this driver _before_ connecting cell phone.

    I recently switched from a D&G RAZ to a TMO G1, so I guess I can delete
    this group from my subscribed groups list. Besides having a better
    phone, I won't have to read this retard's bull**** every couple of
    weeks.

    Most Usenet readers have him filtered out. You don't need to read him
    unless you want to.

    It's obvious. He used to constantly quote Hoover Institution studies.
    Also, whenever he got caught lying, and was backed into a corner, he
    went on the defense with meaningless phrases like "Rubbish," Nonsense,"
    "Good Scramble," "Not True," etc.. Classic Republican.

    I'd call it "classic politician"!

    Politician: n. "a person who believes that the worst thing that could
    possibly happen to his country is the election of someone else to the
    office he is seeking!"

    Ah Contraire,

    In a recent thread in here called "Sprint Continues it Death Spiral", NavASS
    said "we" when referring to the Obammy folk. Here it is, cut and pasted:

    Nav-ass you ain't seen nothing yet! Kiss your 401k goodbye...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "That would be *US*, and *WE* did throw the rascals out."

    Now is that "Liberal-Speak" or what?!?

    He's one of yours. Like the weird cousin that nobody sees during The
    Holidays. You must accept him in your family. I promise we will not snicker
    - too hard, anyway...

    Case Closed.

    FAQ: Motorola charging on non-Motorola USB

    Q: Why won't my Motorola phone charge on my non-Motorola USB cable or
    charger?

    A: This is caused by the wrong cable or connection.

    The problem is that not all Mini-B USB cables and connections are the
    same -- some are 5-connection and some are 4-connection.

    The reason is that Standard-A USB has only 4 connections, whereas Mini-B
    USB has 5 connections, the extra connection being the device ID pin.
    Some Mini-B USB cables omit the 5th connection.

    Only 5-connection will work properly for Motorola charging (without a
    Motorola USB driver). A correct cable or connection is what's needed.

    --
    Very best wishes for the holiday season and for the coming new year,
    John
