I've run into an issue with my V that I'm wondering if others can replicate, or not, as the case may be. I was awakened this morning to the sound of my V stuck in a reboot loop with a discharged battery, even though I'd had it plugged into my laptop all night via the data cable. I checked the USB ports and they were all powered as normal.
I read elsewhere that the OEM charger is rated at 700mah (it is), and a normal USB port is only 500mah. Which makes me wonder if the V can only be charged with a "real" charger, which for me, as someone that travels a lot, is a pain....I hate carrying a whole strip full of chargers. The Intercept I have seems okay with a data cable charge. When I plugged the V into a car charger this afternoon, it came right back up to 100% in a hurry.
This reminds me of some USB portable hard drives, DVD burners and some PCMCIA cards that required the power of a second USB port to operate properly. But I've never seen, and can't find, any sort of twin USB to single Micro USB cable out there...they usually go as splitters in the opposite direction.
