Hi Torsten, The neo doesn't seem to detect that a USB cable supplied 500 mA of power unless it can network with the PC on the other end of the cable via USB. I know I've connected the neo to a Windows machine w/o the networking set up and watched the battery die.
You can force fast charge on the neo with 'echo -n "fast_cccv" > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008/chgmode' You would have to do that (manually or via a script as I did) each time after you plug the neo into a USB plug. I have also written a python script that monitors in the background for slow charge and pops up a gui asking if you want to switch to fast charge mode. I don't have it 100% the way I want it. I will post it to the wiki when I get it using less CPU and dealing with screen lock properly, or before if I get a demand for it.
