Did you set USB charge current to 500mA? If device which you are connecting can't ennumerate USB connection, Neo will charge with only 100mA - and running system eats something about 200mA. -- Sebastian Krzyszkowiak dos _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
