    hey ya'll... I was wondering if any one else is having this issue..

    I bought one of those (generic) micro bluetooth modules off ebay, and stuck w/just using it via usb (I don't want to void the warranty by doing the internal bluetooth mod). However, I have found that if I have it plugged in, and then put the aao on standby, it still provides power to the bluetooth adapter even though the computer is 'off' (standby). And by "the bluetooth adapter being on", I mean that the blue light in the adapter is still blinking, as it does when the laptop is on.

    however, if when it's in standby and then I unplug/replug it in - it will not turn back on (blue light flashing).

    anyone else experiencing the same thing? perhaps the bios update would fix it? (I'm going to update it anyway, shortly, so I'll letcha'll know if it does..)

    my AAO does same to my phone - it continues charging it if my phone is connected before the AAO goes into standby, seems like if any usb devices are connected it keeps the usbs powered

    what if you unplug your phone, once it's in standby, and plug it back in? does it continue to charge?
