Why don't all mini-usb chargers work with my Pre!?! Grumble, boo-hiss...

smkranz
I am a volunteer, and not an HP employee.
Palm OS ∙ webOS ∙ Android

Anyone know if the Pre expects some nonstandard charging voltage/current? I can't see how it would, given that it charges just fine from the USB ports on multiple computers I've tried, and I expect they put out the standard.
Still, I've had mediocre results with various chargers:
- Palm AC->USB charger that came with Pre, connected via cable: charges fast
- Palm AC->USB charger that came with Pre, connected to Touchstone: charges, a bit slower
- various computers: charges, but slowly
- Apple AC->USB charger from iPhone 3G: barely works if at all (I plugged in a dead phone, and it showed the red battery-depleted indicator for 15 minutes, then the phone powered on at 3% and said it wasn't charging; another time I left it plugged into this charger overnight, resulting in 40% charge)
- Monoprice 12V (car cigarette lighter) -> USB charger: won't charge a dead phone, will *barely* charge a phone that's powered on (if in airplane mode, the Pre gains about 10% an hour, if the radio is on, it loses battery charge)
So the only thing that works reliably and quickly is the Palm charger. Meanwhile I have a ton of old iPhone/iPod chargers, and these 12V car chargers, which I'd like to be able to use, but they barely work if at all.

  • Why don't non simplistic smart playlists work with my iTouch?

    I like listening to my podcasts in the order they were released.
    So I have a smart playlist that say:
    genre=podcast
    ignore these podcasts
    include only podcasts played < 1
    This smart playlist appears in the sync list but does not sync with my iTouch (2nd gen i think).
    Other smart playlists like
    rating >= *
    do sync.
    I thought this worked with my 2nd generation classic.
    What gives?

    Good questions, looks like the limiting number is just broken on iOS devices.  For the second, you'd have to try it out.  Do they update as songs are played?  And if they update do they download the new songs automatically or just put the "cloud" listing in the list?

  • HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

    Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred either.
    I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

    Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

    I have done this but it does not work with one of my albums and I dont know why??

    That would be it. Sometimes you can tweak the album & artist names enough for iTunes to download matching art from the store, or you could add a bonus track featuring 1 second of silence and attach artwork to that, or you could convert the files to Apple Lossless.

  • Why don't all the mailboxes illuminate when I'm trying to move/ save an email

    Why don't ALL mailboxes highlight when I'm trying to save something

    You can either leave it in the Inbox or move it to one of the non-greyed out folders. If you havn't got any non-greyed out ones then if your email account is an IMAP one then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create new folders there, and they should then appears in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.
    You can also, for example, copy-and-paste it into another app e.g. if it's plain text you could copy-and-paste it into Notes

  • Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

    The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

  • Why is the fb video call doesnt work with macbook?

    why is the fb video call doesnt work with macbook?

    Hi
    Just to correct GerdW - the vis of a polymorphic vi do not have to have the same output.
    Have a look at the vis I attached. I just pass a dbl to a polymorphic vi and get a dbl in one vi and a string in the other.
    The real problem is that the vi has to be set to the necessary type. If there are different inputs you just can wire them to the polymorphic vi, but this does not work with the outputs, so you have to set the type.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    Does the hp mini wireless mouse work with a mac?

    The only one that will work with OSX is the one you order with the Mac Pro from Apple. The others don't have the correct firmware for OSX.
    I've also noticed that the online store lets have an option for the QuadroFX 5800 to purchase with a Mac Pro
    No, it's the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600. That is the only way to get it. NVIDIA does not sell it directly.

  • Why don't I have reduce motion option with iOS 7.0.2 upgrade?

    Why don't I have reduce motion option with iOS 7.0.2 upgrade?  It is making me really dizzy and sick to my stomach similar to reading in the car (can't do that either).  I read to go into general settings, accessibility and click reduce motion....I do not have this option at all.  HELP!

    Seconded. Although my main problem w/ that zoom-out-as-app-loads effect is that I suspect it's the source of that annoying delay between app zooming open & UI being active/accepting input. When I switch between apps, after the zoom completes, there's 1-2 seconds where the app accepts no UI input at all. This seemed instantaneous in iOS 6.
    (Oh, off-topic, but the control center is devilishly hard to sweep up. most of the time I accidentally start Safari or Mail.)

  • Why wont my battery bacy up pack work with IOS 7

    Why wont my battery back up pack work with IOS 7?

    Spoke too soon. Here's a reply. From another user on here. It worked for me.
    I had the same problem after I upgraded to iOS 7 last night and saw that all of my different e-mail accounts merged into one under the "All Inboxes" view.  I resolved the problem by deleting just one of my e-mail accounts and adding it back again under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders.  Once I added the one account I deleted back under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders my inbox refreshed and showed all of my seperate e-mail accounts as it previously did before I upgraded to iOS 7.  Give it a try and let me know if that works for you as well. 

  • Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library?  The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

    Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library?  The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

    That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
    Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
    Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

  • Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen?

    Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen like Samsung Note? we really new one from apple design specially students.

    I do not understand?  You can readily use a stylus with an iPad now (I do) and there are many note taking apps that allow free form handwriting and drawing,  (TopNotes, Notebook+, Notes Plus to name just three I am familiar with).  There are also several apps that do handwriting recognition and convert your printed or written words to text (I have WritePad for that, works very well).
    What is that you think is lacking with an iPad now?
