Charging using USB cable used for PC Sync

4 replies · 4,246 views · Started 09 May 2007

Is the N95 capable of recharging when it is connected to a laptop using USB cable that is used with the Nokia PC Sync software, or do I need a Nokia USB cable that is specific for recharging?

You need a seperate charger, and from my experience (using a 3rd party usb charger) the current from a USB port is a bit flakey meaning the phone will give the "not charging" message from time to time.

At work I've resorted to getting a second mains charger for this reaosn.

Would it be possible to get a cable that splits to connect to both USB and charging ports?

I havent seen any but dont see any reason why this wouldnt be possible.
