I have had the 3125 for about a month now and love it. Today I plugged the phone into my PC via USB and synched my contacts / calender as I always do. Everything worked fine. Then I noticed I had a low battery message on the phone. Sure enough the phone eventually died while it was connected to my PC via USB?

Anybody know why the charging function would stop working over USB? It was able to synch and communicate fine. It just won't charge. I don't have my DC charger with me right now.

Are you using any of the tweak programs that has a setting that disables USB charging?

I belive that there is a setting on the phone that will do that without any tweaks as well. I would just look around in the settings and make sure nothing like that is triggered. I would start looking in ActiveSync settings first. My phone isn't accessable at the moment or else I would be able to give some better direction.

Does it still charge via A/C?

Well I never did figure out what caused this to happen. I taking the battery out and putting it back in and charging. Nothing.

Finally, I rebooted my PC. When it came back up I reattached the 3125, and it started charging. It also charges fine over AC. I just didn't have my AC adapter with me yesterday.
