Sorry hit the button before I was done.
There have been many threads about micro USB cables that did not charge or did not charge fast.
I have a different problem.
Because of all the complaints about the battery, I bought a ProPorta 3600 as battery backup.
The charging cable that comes with it (retractable) does not seem to also work as a sync cable. Thought I would try it and there was no obvious connection between the Desire and the PC.
Any thoughts??
As for battery, with my normal use I never yet have drained the battery in one day. Charge it every night.
