522GW and rear facing camera

[UBF]

Hi Folks,

Before i bin this ...... i've got a rear camera on my 522, the little plug in one and all it does is crash the main unit / flatten the battery and never seems to work properly.

Am i missing something with this?

Tried all manner of factory resets / charging options / firmware updates and nothing resolves it. Works perfectly without this connected!

Although after tinkering i suspect the issue is thus;

1. Battery is too small.
2. Default settings do not enable auto power off
3. Side Camera requires more power draw than the unit can provide when charging up from flat due to point 2.
4. Camera then freezes because it uses more power to run the dual cameras than it can obtain via USB.

I'll test this tonight but if this is the case, that's an utter nonsense.
