I cannot get my new treo to charge through the usb cable. I cannot find the setting to turn that on. Should it charge through usb????
PLease Help...
No, it cannot be charged using the standard cable that was included in the package. But you can buy a 3rd party cable that has the right connector. Maybe something like this:

Went to the Palm store and tried their cable that's supposed to sync and charge. It doesn't work with the Treo 750. However, the Palm branded cable did sync and charge with the Treo 680. Can anyone recommend a USB cable that's sure to work with the 750 cable to synchronize and charge the phone when connected? Thanks!
i've got an unbranded sync & charge cable which works fine - just check out ebay. i've also got a palm cradle and a "just mobile" cradle both of which sync & charge just fine.

Can u tried to check/uncheck in
[Start]--[Settings]--[Connections]--[USB to PC]
and reconnect to PC again with your cable.
If still unable to, pls let me know.

I've got the palm cradle too and sync and charge without problems.
Thanks guys, for all the responses. Looking more for a cable. I have USB cigarette charger and a laptop so it'd be easier to just lug around one thing when travelling and eliminate the bulk of the cradle.
Seidio retractable
I have a Seidio retractable sync & charge cable. Ran into it in a shop on Detroit airport. Works perfect and is very small and easy to carry around. According to the package description it was not for the 750, it only mentioned the older PalmOS based models, but it works perfect.

Thanks, psimoons. So that means that the Seido cable charges & syncs with the Treo 750?
The Pocket PC Techs sync-charge cables for the Treo 650/700/750v also work very well. ppctechs.com
Just look on ebay for a USB sync/charge retractable cable. They are cheap on eBay. The noname brand one that I got works great with my 750v, and is actually very good quality.
Hi, i am planning to upgrade my imate ppc to WM5. I read the upgrade documents of c_shekhar and he has mentioned we need to have the cradle adapter connected but I dont have the connector. Can I still upgrade my ppc, kindly let me know.

Hi there
I did mine with a Sync cable only.
Went 100%. I Had no problems.
I think the only reason why there should be power with th cradle, is if the PPC's battery went flat during a ROM upgrade, it can be disasterous.
But you shouldnt have a problem!
Cheers
also being powered by the pc power could disappear if the pc crashed (or if connected to a unpowered hub along with other devices stealing some of the 500mA that a usb port can max provide)
but if the cradle have the connection to the psu too the chances you can carry on after the pc reboots are bigger
I was concerned about this too - but went ahead anyway with a USB sync cable which i got off ebay, connected to a powered USB hub.
It takes half an hour approx and I had no problems
I have just bought an imate 9502 with a broken charger port (usb plug) inside someone has tried to fix it by linking the pins from the usb port to the pcb but have failed so bad that they have completely f*ct where the pins soilder to the pcb, i was hoping someone with a 9502 would be willing enough to open theres and take some macro photos of the usb port so that i can attempt to trace back where the tracks go and fix my phone.
Any help would be great thx.
P.s in the meantime does aybody know where i can get an external battery charger?
I ended up fixing it by removing the old usb plug and replacing it with a new one and than tracing back the power wires on the pcb than i bit of trial nd error but in the end found them, soildered some tiny copper wires back to the new plug and it now charges perfect
Only downside is that the usb still doesen't work so no sync with the pc at all
which usb plug did you need and where did you get it from?
it would help alot as i am also thinking of doing this to mine
Hello,
Problem: then i connect my Wizard via USB cable it shows no signs of any connection at all, but battery is charging. I still can sync via bluetooth and IR and it works just fine, but USB is totally dead. Maybe my wizards usb slot is broken ? Any suggestions what to do ?

Have you tried another cable?
I have a P3600 (Trinity) with a mini USB socket. Every now and again, the charging light comes on but the USB fails. I reckon the socket or cable end is getting a bit worn/tired out, and only the +5v and ground contacts actually connect. The two centre data lines don't, hence the Activesync error, but the phone is still charging Fiddling with the socket or just pressing it down toward the back of the phone will make it work.
If this doesn't work, maybe the socket has completely had it.
Update to this: Feb 25:- The USB connection has now failed completely. Charges the battery, but ActiveSync cannot connect, other phones are fine using the same cable. No amount of fiddling will get it to work. The device is now assigned to the ever growing pile of electroscrap used as demo machines. Now on a company hand-me-down MWg Zinc II. Not an HTC device, I know, but I won't be leaving the forum.

Hello. Can someone please take a photo of the connecting end of the data cable for the 750v and post it to me?
Also, will the phone charge from the USB port?
I just bought a second have 750v and it doesn't come with a cable, and I only really need a USB one if it will charge.
I've had many Treo's before, but I don't think I have any cables anymore, and I can't remember which they used...
Thanks, Chris
yes you can charge with usb cable
usb cable available online stores
