<div dir="ltr">Also to note: <br><br>I found the Freerunner not charging (actually it was discharging because it was on) when it was attached to a USB port on the dock station of a laptop.

1) Openmoko does NOT recommend to do this, nor is it usually necessary when<br>
using the OM-charger or a standard powered host at PC.<br>
It's a hack for non-OM wallchargers only.<br>
2) there already is such an app. Please search the wiki for it!<br>
