No option to charge over USB F40
« on: January 08, 2009, 08:46:34 PM »
There is now no option to charge over USB under Setting-->General settings-->System-->Battery.
I noticed this as my F40 battery was going down while connected to PC via USB.

I've actually been curious about this as well.

Despite its absence from the menu, my player still charges via USB.

That option never had any effect on anything but H300 and the hardware charges over USB, like it or not. The software has no control over how it charges and when.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to remember to draft a patch for the manuals about this after work.
