So, I am going to make a custom charger and I want to use the internal charging port (under the battery cover). This port is used for wireless charging too.
Does anyone know what specifications this port requires? Does it want 5v like usb? Or does it want something more like the battery (3.8v)?
I would be thankful for any answers or ideas on where to find this information.

have anyone use this external battery pack for their samsung tab? Will it work for the tab 10.1? any recommendation on which to buy for our tab 10.1?
Thanks

I'm not sure if it will because I know for a fact that the USB AC adapter that ships with the iPad 2 does not work with the Samsung USB cable for charging (well, it kinda does, but its that slow trickle charge). I figure that the means that both companies use to get the extra juice flowing over the USB cable are different somehow.

It is. You can get a charging adapter off of DealExtreme, or make one yourself (read the "make your own cables" thread in Accessories, and look at the Universal Charging schematic)
I have a cigarette lighter USB adapter that kicks out 1500 mAhs, and it's enough to charge the Tab 10.1. Since this thing has more than that on tap, it's a fairly safe bet that it will be able to charge it as well.
..
thanks for the info guys. I did order charging adapter cable from dealextreme. I'm going to order this external battery pack and see. Should i get the 5000mAh or the 11000mAh?
Hello all,
Recently purchased a Galaxy S II coming from the first one, liking it alot.
Just wondering, does anyone know if Samsung modified the charger as they did with the original?
I'm not sure on the specifics of what they did, something along the lines of shorting out the data lines on the USB which would let the phone know it's a official charger and let it charge at full speed.
TL;DR can I use any USB charger to charge at full speed?
Thanks,
Spectre
My other android phone chargers (the one I have from my HTC Hero) charge as fast as the original actually!

You could use ANY Micro USB charger connector. However if you use a USB cable, it won't do at full speed charging.
The stock charger only outputs 700mA so with a stock kernel that lets the phone draw more (Its capped to like 650mA), upto 1A and a 1A charger it will charge a lot faster.
Gets a bit hotter while doing it though, nothing to be to worried about.
YMMV/not my fault if it explodes/etc
hi i just broke my charger .. and customer care is so far to buy new original one .. i am using the custom kernel
i know the charger provides the 650ma of current to the phone to charge but the USB data cable through the pc provides only 450ma and relatively charges the phone slowly
well there is a way to change the current to 650ma ..
i just want to ask that it i change usb current to 650ma it will harm battery ?? or my phone ??
it is same as charging with charger and usb providing same current ???
i should charge through the USB @650ma or not ?? thats all what i want ..
If anyone know the answers please share .. thanks

Increasing the USB charge current (stock val 450ma) (via supportive kernel like Dorimanx etc) is always risky, both for ur phone as well as ur Computer USB port

>THnaks for saving my Phone and my laptop so its better idea to buy a new charger ?
Hello,
Long time lurker, finally joined to post my first question as I am gathering info before buying my Z Ultra!
For convenience, I plan to charge using the magnetic connection rather than USB. The dock (DK30 and others) is convenient but not portable. I see compact magnetic cables/adapters- as a new member I can't post links, if you go to mobilefun and search sony magnetic you will see.
I could not find official Sony cables, to my knowledge they do not exist (unless you take apart a dock).
Now, I've read some comments to only use the charger that came with the phone for the docks (magnetic connection) and not, for example, USB port on a PC. Is it therefore not a good idea to use an external battery as the power source for magnetic charging? I'm referring to products from the Anker range which certainly would charge the ZU via direct USB. Is there really a different power source (AC outlet) requirement when using magnetic connection?
Thanks
Jess
600 views and not a single reply. Come on, I know somebody must have at least tried using external battery using the magnetic charger.
I'm trying to understand why it's OK to charge from a PC USB port over regular micro USB but not OK to do so over magnetic connection.
Well I actually use this option.
Purchased a magnetic cable usb (that actually came in original Sony box) and also purchased an external sony battery pack, and using them with no problems.
So dont know really what to tell you.

Efharisto Pavlos!
What battery pack are you using? I suspect warnings about the magnetic connector may be related to the current output. I think battery packs with higher output like 2A are better for magnetic charging.
Hey I am actually using the Sony CP-F1LAM its a 3500mha version.
Works well takes a little bit longer to charge but will fully charge ZU no problem.
Actually last night I had the battery on mains via miniUSB and the ZU on the battery all night, via the magnetic cable.
Nothing blew up, or even got warm or anything.
The particullar battery outputs 1.5v and has protection to not allow it to go any higher.
Also has all kinds of thermal mulfunction protections.

As the Huawei mate 10 pro has no wireless charging i've been looking for qi recievers for USB-C. Plenty of them. But i still haven't found what i am looking for(nice title for a song). One time i want wireless charging the other time i want charging by cable. Of course i can pull out the plug of the receiver but after a while this will definitely be broken and is also not handy when carrying the phone in the pocket. What i am looking for is a qi receiver wich is connected to the USB C port but also have an entrance for an USB -C Cable. Anyone knows if this exists?
I was once looking for a iPhone solution that didn't involved a thick case, and I came with the answer that a simple pass-through is not possible, some protetiction and routing circuit is needed...
So maybe aim for a case? But I also couldn't find anything.
So....
hey there, this is exactly what I am too looking for a qi coil that can be neatly tucked between the phone and the eternal protective case and has a usb c port which is also female so it can take in the usb charging without having to take anything apart, I imagine it to be not to difficult of a think if one had the parts to just modify something in existence. eg usb c and usb -c (female). If anyone finds anything, drop a shout!
