Could someone with a car dock please measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5 of the micro usb plug on the dock please?

I got an XDA II from my dad, it had to charger. So, I got one off of eBay for all of £3.50. Within 10mins of it been connected it blew up?!?! I am being deadly serious, it actually did.
So, after getting my money back etc, they did not want their old unit back. So, I thought i may aswell put this to some use while my new charger (from a diffferent place) was delivered. So, I snipped the connector with some wire attached, rigged it up to a USB connector (As below) and there we have a nice DIY USB Charger.
The pinouts are as follows:
- (GND) Pin 4 on the USB
Pins 16,17,18 on XDA Connector
+ Pin 1 on the USB
Pins 20,21,22 on the XDA Connector
Its charging away quite nicely now, but I shall report back on the actual rate of charge because from what I gather the output of a USB is 100mA whereas the charger had an output of 200mA.
Hope you find this useful
no usb provide 500mA to share for all usb devices connected to the port
unless a powered usb hub is used in which case every port in the hub provide 500mA
Ah, Its going through a USB 1.1 hub... which has no external power.
Though, today.. my replacement arrives. Thanks for the help though, the information about the web is a bit vague.
Hi
I have noticed that when using a car charger that worked on my older htc phone it heats up the jade and then it eventualy locks i have to hit the reset button or pull the battery.
has anyone else found this or know of a way round it, I like my old one as it has about a 2m cable whish reaches exactly where i need it to.
has anyone else seen a car charger like this that works with the jade?
cheers
Tom
I have a charger from an old O2 phone and it's working fine. I had no problems with car charger so far.
I looked on the mains charger i had with the device and it says output is 5V, I think the car charger is giving out 12V as I think it's just a straight through usb light socket so i wouldn't imagine it's stepping down that much, only problem is i don't like the chargers with curly cables i want a straight cable or a charger that just has a usb socket on it.
any idea where i could find that?
I have another option of adding another lighter socket on the dash of the car near where the phone is but i don't really like drilling holes in the car if i don't have to!
ok a quick google and i have found a 4 usb port 5v car charger so fingers crossed that will sort my problem out.
it's quite cool as it has surge and over load protection for each port so if one shorts out the others carry on working.
Hi,
I already bought 2 car charger kits but non of them fit, they all have a mini USB and not the special one the Jade needs.
Can anyone give me a LINK for a proper car charger, cause on eBay they sell all the mini USB crab which obviously doesn't work!
Thanks!

Whats wrong with the mini usb ones? Thats what I use.
Anyone know if a car charger is available? I use my soon-to-be-sold G-Tablet in my car all day for work and I need a charger.
The Transformer uses a Usb to dock connector cable along with a power adapter so any cig lighter usb charger should work. I will check mine and post back.
The problem is that a normal 12v to USB charger usually charges with [email protected] (1A if you find a special one) and the Transformer needs [email protected] So it wont charge if the screen is turned on.
I just want to make sure I am clear on the whole 5V, 5V+ charging. Is it true if you can some how provide 12V over USB (yes this is sort of a hack) you can get reasonably decent charging rates? I ask because I'm in the market for a large portable battery pack (in the 10Ah 3.7V range). Some of them provide 12V output to a DC barrel plug.
Someone in the original Transformer prime suggest buying a DC plug to female USB plug adapter off eBay. They sell multiple sizes of these, so I figured that if I can find the right size adapter for the DC plug, the battery pack should be able to charge my Prime? The only problem is if I pull a brain fart and accidentally plug my phone in that
Somewhere in the forum is a thread about DIY chargers ....maybe under accessories.....gives the pins for USB3 connection, and maybe USB2....The ASUS connection is USB3....different power pins from usb2
I bought an original docking station from Dell with HDMI, Mini USB and Line out... but it came with no power cable... Some one can clarify wich is the voltage and current rating for this docking station?
The dock should be able to use the Streak's data cable, plugged into the AC adapter, since the dock will.charge the unit.
