That's exactly what happens with mine, but for me, the problem started after I did the ROM update . . . and now, there's a new wrinkle to this mysterious problem: this morning when I removed the AC adapter from charging overnight, the amber light stayed on even though the device was powered off. I had to do a soft reset to get it to stop. Weird. :?

I have also seen this problem on my 5455. This has got to be a bug in the new ROM. I have also noticed that since the ROM Upgrade, the device doesn't always see that it has been given AC power, and won't start charging like it did before the upgrade.

Green is alarm. But it doesn't make sense to me. For me, the best way to go is the way my old E-125 was working:

Orange = charging
Green = fully charged
Blinking red = alarm

That was easy to understand and not annoying like the orange blinking light I get when my Ipaq is charging. Oh well. Another good thing I had to give up for a much better form factor...

I've had this happen with my 5450 a few times. I've even had it happen to a 5450 that I just performed a hard reset on. No calendar info in the device but the light was flashing. A soft reset took care of it but it was strange.
