Can anyone confirm that we need a 10 pin usb cable?but i think you cannot sync with a regular usb cable..the one that comes with your phone has 10 pins and the regular usb is 5 pins..will still charge tho.
I just plugged my eris into my computer USB last night to try to recharge it, and now it won't recharge at all, even with the adapter that came with it.

Jimbo
does your computer sleep after a while? mine does
2 things
1. when i plug the wifes storm into the pc at night, the pc goes to sleep, it actually drains the life out of the storm to the point it has to be on the real charger for like 15 minutes for it to come on
2. a usb charge is not a real charge but a conditioning/trickle charge. it may take a LONG time to get a full charge from the usb to pc setup.
leave your phone on the wall charger for a while, it'll wake up
i was doubtful myself, but yes indeed, a std 5 pin mini usb will not sync, just charge.
My wife and I each have an Eris, so I got three sets of these from Amazon. They all work fine, and now we don't have to worry about charging, as we have chargers for all vehicles, work, home etc. At about $2 per cable (including shipping) it's hard to go wrong.
Also when we bought our phones the Verizon rep told us a Motorola Razor (my wife's previous phone) charger will work for an Eris, but it won't charge as fast. Ok to use as a back up, but not as a primary charger.
