There the "bMaxPower" file contained a setting of "500mA". So maybe the problem really is, that the phone somehow has to be told that you really want to charge with maximum charge current or something like that. (I guess the windows driver hopefully does that...) On the other hand the 500mA might simply be not very much ? with best regards Ingo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
