Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / ATT Wireless / July 2008Motorola cell phones FAQ
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. > Q: Why is charging of Motorola phones so slow on the travel charger? Hey John - your timer is off. You just posted this bullshit a few days ago.

No one - I mean NO ONE give a flying f.ck about some antiquated charger for a pos phone - get a LIFE!

Since he never contributes anything useful I've just set a filter in Outlook Express to ignore his posts - makes life a little better. The only way I see them now is when someone else (ahem!) comments and doesn't delete the thing. > The poor guy is a one trick pony starved for attention.

No one - > I mean NO ONE give a flying f.ck about some antiquated charger for a pos > phone - get a LIFE! <spam snipped> There was no need to quote the entire spam you are objecting to! Since he seems to feel that he MUST post this drivel every few weeks, it's probably useless to complain about it. Kill-file it if you have such a facility, otherwise just ignore it!

No doubt he set his news reader to automatically send out those monthly posts. Of course most of us are only treated to these posts when one of the few Usenet users that hasn't kill-filed him posts a follow-up. Just be thankful that that's the extent of his nonsense these days. Maybe he got tired of losing every debate about every subject related to cellular phones, GSM, digital photography, etc. The extent of his lack of knowledge extends across many different subjects. |
