I have the same question... Right now I have my X5 attached to my PC at my office with the USB sync cable. I am trying to get it to charge (it says current status is Charging) but it's taking forever. Whenever I unplug and then plug the cable back into my Axim (doing this about a dozen times to troubleshoot this power issue) the power bar will diminish down to a certain point (in my case it started at 88% and after unplugging and plugging in the sync cable it finally leveled off at about 62% and right now it's up to 69% after being plugged in for about 20 minutes or so I guess). So I am just wondering if anyone is having this same issue and if this is normal. I have a program on my X5 called BatteryTimePlus (it's a free program) that displays it's self on the Today screen and monitors my battery power and memory usage and uptime after it has been unplugged from either your USB sync cable or cradle. I am wondering if this program could be causing an issue. Has anyone else had any experience with this power issue and this program...either/or/both???
