Charge Battery through USB without Loading Software?

Hi All,
Anyone who can please assist; would appreciate it. Have been trying to investigate whether a Blackberry Battery can be charged via USB (Connected to a PC or Laptop) without having the Blackberry Desktop Software loaded.
Currently I have the Blackberry 8900 but even with the previous versions; I have never been able to charge my phone without having the Software loaded. Unfortunately my laptop is loaded with Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 2 and when loading the Software it seems to mess with the speed and sometimes ends Outlook and gives me a Blue ERROR screen which then I have to switch off my PC and then switch on after 5 minutes only. This sometimes happens 3 times in one day?
Please advise, anyone, anyone!!!!

Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.

Since it didn't ask it me for the phone I'm using when downloading or installing I assume that it's a single set of drivers for all bb phones.
Yes.

I may be jumping the gun, but once this is sorted will I also be able to connect from pc to phone via bluetooth as a mass storage device, or for that will i need the software?
I can't recall exactly...I always use the full DTM software as that enables so many things (including backup of your BB...a highly important thing to do).

Charging Battery through USB (zen mic

So here's my story.
I'm in Europe traveling with my Micro and i'm at my cousin's place on his computer. My Laptop is dead along with my zen. I've been trying to charge it and it's not working.. It turns on and it shows a Battery symbol with a lightning bolt through it. What does that mean? After a half hour I unplugged it and it doesn't turn on. But it doesn't say "docked" either. Is that because it wasn't registered on this computer?
Please Help!

It charged for about 8 or so hours yesterday and countinues not to even turn on.. The lighting bolt just flashing on and off. I was able to charge it for a few minutes before my laptop died and it at least turned on.. The screen stays lite but the battery just still blinks with the lighting bolt.

I have a Power Shot SD4500 IS and after battery is fully charged battery runs down without any use.

I have a Power Shot SD4500 IS and after charging battery then placing in camera and within a day the battery is dead. I have tried replacing with a new battery and have the same problem. Any suggestions?
The last time (2 years ago) I had a problem with my previous ELPH I was told it was less expensive to replace the camera than to repair, but after buying 2 in 5 years with limited use, this is getting old.
HELP

Pharmboy007,
I would like to ask a couple questions to see if I can determine what is causing the issue.
How long is the camera sitting before you are using it and finding out that the battery is no longer charged?
Does this happen with other batteries, or just the one battery?

Cooling Fan Noise Through USB And Recording Software

Anyone know how to keep the cooling fan from making a pop in recording software and through the USB port while hooked to an interface and pa system. The pop comes when the fan turns on or off.
Thanks for any help

Fixed my own problem... if anyone else has this issue and sees this all I had to do was update to ML 10.8.3 and it took care of what ever bug was in the system.

How to power/charge Ipod through USB?

I have tried plugging my Ipod into the USB port on my Pavilion dv7 but it does not charge.
I am using Windows 7 and have checked the basic power options in the control panel but I was unable to find anything related to power options on the USB ports.

Is the laptop running while you do this? Which version of the dv7 do you have? Not all laptops have an always on usb port and if yours does you usually have to select that option in the BIOS not in Windows.

Just a question about charging through USB. Should only take seconds to answ

Hello everyone.
I have a Zen Micro 5Gb with MTP 2.20.05 Firmware.
How exactly do I charge it through USB? Do I have to lock it before I plug it in or not? Do I turn off the switch manually to save more power and what is the screen meant to look like while charging?
Thanks.

When manually turning off the Zen Micro via the little switch, there is nothing on the screen. Does that mean it has compltely shut down? Same as the automatic dle shutdown?
It has gone to standby mode. In standby mode it's simply quicker to restart the player, and it will resume where you were last playing.
Also I heard something that happens after 4hrs?
With the ..0 and 2.20.05 firmware the standby period is 4 hours. After 4 hours the player completely shuts down and will take longer to start up, and restart from the beginning of the last track.
With earlier firmware the standby period is 24 hours, but this was causing a noticeable drain on the battery.

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding your Shift key down when booting. Also, try holding the eject key down when booting to eject the DVD. If you plug a mouse in and hold the clicker down when booting, that should eject the DVD.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Charging through USB - load on PSU quest

I have never used anything which charges through USB before, and tbh, would not have bought the zen micro had I known it didnt come with an adaptor (i'm very suspicious of the whole charging through USB thing)
So I guess I want some reassurance. I have a 600w PSU, hooked up to a DFI lanParty UltraB, g Ram, 9800PRO gfx card (which has it's own molex connector from the PSU), audigy2, 2 internal HD's, 2 CD/DVD dri'ves and my case is a Lian Li fishtank, with UV spotlights, air pump, blue and UV cold cathodes and I use an air extractor to cool my gfx card.
So - is the Zen in any danger of overloading my PSU and frying my system? Other USB devices I have - Saitek Eclipse KB, Logitech G5 mouse, Wacom Graphire3, Iomega external powered harddisk and Griffin Powermate.
is it a risk or am I being paranoid?

plec: The USB standard allows for a 500mA current (small) to be supplied to any device using a USB port. The Micro or any player that charges via USB will only use that amount to charge as well as sharing with the data connection. You can dedicate all that 500mA to charging the player if you use the latest ..0 or 2.20.05 firmware, then slide the power button to lock the player before connecting to the PC.
Don't panic, it's not going to overload your PC as the current drain is USB standard and small.

I have a macbook pro and aphotosmartD110 wireless printer. I was told that if I install the printer software on my computer, it will no longer print wirelessly. Is that true and how do I scan wirelessly without loading in the software?

I have a macbook pro and a photosmart D110 printer. I was told that if I load the software for the printer onto my mac that it will no longer print wierlessly. Is that true and how can I scan wirelessly without loading the software? Also, can I just connect my mac to the printer with a cable and scan or do I need that software loaded onto the mac? Thanks for all help!

If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

HT4060 My I pad 2 is not charging throuh USB Power Adapter but it is chrging from computer through USB (with sign of no charging). Would you please give any solution for that?

I have facing problem of charging my I pad through USB power adapter. It is not giving any response when connected to power adapter. When it is connected with USB port of computer it is charging with sign of "not charging" and it takes long time to cahrge. please help me to sove my problem.

I have no idea why the iPad would not be charging with another power adapter but will charge thought the USB port on your computer. Try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
If that doesn't help, I think that the next thing that I would try would be to reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this, all device settings will have to be re-entered and tha does take some time to do.
