Hi Stephen, Thanks for that clarification and apologies to Evan for the mis-information.
Best wishes, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Stephen Giggar Sent: 01 September 2010 18:15 To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] [UCE] Re: charging N86 with USB cable Again to people the n86 doesn't use a mini USB cable. It uses a micro USB plug. A mini plug is to big. So if you are going to tell someone what type of cable to look for. It is a micro and not mini as far as the end that goes in the phone.

I have never used it to charge the phone as I have always used the charger that came with the phone. But I, like you, had assumed that it would be possible to use the IPod-type charger as well, particularly, perhaps, when travelling. What I have noticed is that the mini USB plug on the N86 is quite fragile (much more delicate-feeling than mini USB's on other devices I have come across). Even when using the charger supplied with the N86 my phone occasionally doesn't start charging and I have to reconnect the cable. My thought is that, when using the data cable with the IPod-type plug, you might have to be quite careful that it is properly seated. Just a thought. Best wishes, Brian. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Evan Silver Sent: 31 August 2010 00:06 To: 'Talks Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Talks] [UCE] Re: charging N86 with USB cable Yes. That is exactly the kind of charger I am talking about. I understand that it is recommended to use the charger that is included in the phone package. I am wondering however, if these types of generic USB AC wall adapters can deliver either a lesser voltage or a greater voltage than would a standard USB port of a computer. I thought the USB standard is a standard that would need to be adhered to in order to work with a variety of devices. Thanks again.

The problem still could be as many people have suggested of not the correct charging rate for the phone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Evan Silver" <e...@evansilver.com> To: "'Talks Mailing List'" <talks@talksusers.com> Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 4:35 AM Subject: Re: [Talks] charging N86 with USB cable What I would like to emphasize in my situation, is that I am indeed using the included Nokia micro USB data/sync cable; This is the same exact cable I use to connect my phone to a USB port of my PC for both charging and synchronizing with PC suite. The only difference is that I would like to occasionally use an after-market AC adapter which simply has a USB port to plug in the Nokia Data/sync cable to charge the phone. This is useful as a secondary charging method when I travel, and I do not want to bring a bunch of adapters. I can just bring the appropriate cables and the one single AC wall wart with the USB port. I was undr the impression that this is a very common method for charging devices which use a USB port to charge from a computer; instead we just cut out the computer as a middle-man and plug straight into the electrical outlet in the wall. Like I said, this works just fine with my iPod and Book Sense. Thanks again for any ideas. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Hussein Patwa Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 5:54 PM To: 'Talks Mailing List' Subject: Re: [Talks] charging N86 with USB cable I'll grant that this is one area where the iPhone has it right - no separate charger, just a cable which either plugs into the charger or the computer. But yes, I concur that using the included accessories is the best policy. Under or over volting the phone can and will have undesirable results. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
