Hi Raul and list, As you say in the below message, it's certainly been my experience that I'm unable to recharge the battery from the USB port if it's gone completely flat. I'm just wondering, is this clearly documented in the manual, and did I just miss it? I wish I'd known this earlier, as at first I wasted quite a bit of time trying to recharge using USB, wondering why none of the resets would work, etc, before finally discovering that the wall adapter would resolve the issue. I'm not saying that this is a problem, I just think it would be good if people were made aware of it.
