Post by: cowcow on May 26, 2004, 01:22:52 pm: another question, is it neccessary to charge the C860 for 24Hr for the first time? or is 4HR enough? I am using the 5500 charger as I cannot use the default C860 100HZ charger

Post by: macwiz on May 26, 2004, 01:54:58 pm: I was told 16 hours. But the 5500 charger has a higher amperage, so the orange light went out sooner than that. I also find trickle charge from USB never fully charges

The AC charger will work directly into the Z. You do not have use the sync cable.

English roms and flash instructions are available here on the Zaurus user group site. My guess would be for you to try the cacko rom for the 860.

Yes, I bought one from shirtpocket.co.uk
It was about Â£8. Well worth it.

Post by: Stubear on May 26, 2004, 09:24:34 pm: The reason you need to charge the 5500 for 24 hours is to charge the internal battery that keeps the data on the 5500 while it is powered off. The Cxx0 series use flash storage and don\'t have this internal battery - so they don\'t need 24 hours charging
