USB OTG Used as a charger, it works! - Xperia Z1 General

Hello guys!
I'm using Xperia Z1 C6903 with LB (UB doesn't give me enough to lose all those camera features).
If you're a vaper (smoking e-cigarettes), then I have great news for you!
I'm using THIS e-cigarette and if you buy USB OTG cable you can use your phone as a power bank!
This is more than awesome! Just imagine, your e-cig runs out of power, you are on the move. All you have to do is to pull out usb-mini usb cable (for ecig) and USB OTG cable.
It looks like this:

and it is charging!
I don't know how well it works YET as I came up with this idea just today. I'll try with charging X10 Mini pro and I'll let you know if it works. I've seen some kernels (doomkernel) which has bumped USB power output.
I think more people should try it and let us all know what else they could charge with USB OTG.
I'll update this thread with the list of what can you charge (more or less) and with what kernel.
Stock kernel:
e-cigarette with USB pass-through - works great!
stereo Bluetooth headset (SBH50) - works great and doesn't use much of the phone battery to fully charge!
iPhone 4 - charges
Let me know what kernel are you running and what you could charge (if it actually charges sth, not just shows up charging) - I'll put it up regardless if it shows charging or if it's actually charging.

Well, If you're addicted and you can't smoke for a few hours and you don't have a strong will then charging your e-cig instead of buying cigarettes is a great idea. It's even better if you can charge that e-cig using YOUR PHONE!
It's nothing new that it outputs power, but it is new (for me at least) that you can actually charge stuff out of your phone. Z1 carries massive battery (3000 mAh), so you actually can use your phone as a charger with light phone usage.
Please don't quote the entire thread next time.

It must be easier to just give up....

Trust me, it isn't.
How about charging a phone or anything else using the Z1?

But I think OTG use small amount of current to powee up usb devices if you overload it it might cause a hardware failure or worth

I smoked 20 a day for 12 years, then was on roll ups for another 8 years.
One day I woke up and decided enough was enough, never touched another fag since, that was 6 years ago
Its easy, just sort your head out.

Well, it does use current high enough to charge stuff. It won't output higher current than the kernel cap. It's perfectly safe for the device. @gregbradley - good for you, I don't have a will that's strong enough to just quit it. Can we get back on topic now, please?

Haven't tried this yet on my Xperia phone but on my HTC One before I could charge another phone using OTG. Well I was attempting to mount a cheap tablet(with no microsd card and bluetooth) to my phone so I could copy some files and it didn't work but it charged the tablet instead

Interesting. I actually tried this with S4 and Galaxy S w/ CM11 and S4 told me that I can transfer photos, Galaxy S /w CM11 automatically mounted itself in MSC mode. Just like you would connect it to the PC.
That's actually interesting. Which tablet is it with what rom/kernel? I could try to modify OTG interface on the Z1 or disable data transfer on the device that's meant to be charged, so you could switch between charging/data transfer. I thought that's not possible to charge a phone with another.

I tried with a stereo Bluetooth headset (SBH50) and it charged without any problem. It just went from 72% to 68% in my z1's battery and the headset charged almost fully.

Heh that's pretty bad.. My only problem has been battery drain while running GPS and Pandora simultaneously in the car. The phone is capable of pulling more than 700mA when you utilize all of the hardware, so there is no way to keep a net positive charge current. Also when the battery gets too hot (above 45°C, I believe), the phone will stop charging to prevent the battery from exploding
Geez what kind of USB cables do you guys use? I dont even use the stock cable that Samsung gave me, i got a blackberry one. Works great. Rim isnt dead yet lol

I use the cheap long cables from Monoprice.. or the stock cable, or whatever I have laying around. I throw out the cables when they get flaky -- but my problem wasn't related to the cable like OP's was.

I had the same problem charging in car. if using usb to charge it charges at 300mah but a/c charges at 600mah. so if you are using usb and have an extra cable you can short the green and white wires(going to phone) and this will trick it into thinking its on a/c. have not had any problems since doing this. i can go on a 6 hour drive with gps and music streaming and still arive fully charged.
I would like to see pictures if you have some.
I've seen this symptom with a bad flash. Something was using a ton of charge. More than my charger could put out. Hence, battery drain when plugged in.

i do not have pictures. i use heat shrink on my wires so i cant take apart to get any but if i can find another cable i will modify it and take some. it is a simple modification. just carefully cut the black casing from around wires(anywhere along cable, remove about 2 inches) without cutting wires inside. you should have 4 wires(black ground, red 5v+, white data -, green data +) cut the white and green wires then splice them together(the ends going to phone) seal it back up and your good to go. this is just simulating plugging into your a/c adapter. all the adapter is doing is converting a/c to 5v d/c and shorting data wires to tell phone its plugged into wall. usb is already running at 5v d/c so you just have to provide your own way of shorting data. you can ohm out your cable if you like to verify. 4 pins on conector 2 center ones are for data. they are open until you plug into a/c adapter at which point you will get short.
The cable did the same thing on my girlfriend's phone, too. Phone thinks it's charging, therefor no deep sleep, and it just discharges. It may be the cable/charger combo, thogh, but I KNOW the cable is certainly fault; I tried it with other chargers.

I actually had the charger port on my phone stop working, but Android still showed it was charging. I tried multiple combinations of cords and chargers, only to take it into Sprint for a replacement.
When it first started, it only seemed to happen on certain cords and in certain positions, but eventually, it stopped charging altogether.

Hmm, this seems to be happening to my girlfriend's HTC Evo. Did you have the Sprint insurance? And was the phone still under warranty?
My samsung cable failed within the 1st month. Its really the worst cable ever made on this planet.

Energizer Wiimote Inductive Charger?

Just wondering if anybody has tried, specifically, the Energizer inductive charger for Wii Remotes? It has slots for 2 Wii remotes and uses Qi. I picked one up at Gamestop for $11.99 used ($20 new), and if it does work, this would probably be the cheapest charger out there. Just wanted some feedback to hopefully help others. I'll report back once my phone arrives.
UPDATE - got my phone today and can confirm the Wii "Qi" charger does not seem to work. I will disassemble it over the holidays and see if I can do anything with it, since it is useless now anyway! I note that someone in this thread got it to charge, so I am going to try placing both inductive parts in the centre and see if that does it!
I'm interested in this too..,

I have the four remote version of that pad sitting next to my Wii right now. When Google finally decides to send me my N4 (Play Store status: Complete, order date changed to the 17th, and received BOE) I will test it out and let you know.
Once you get your nexus update please if it does indeed work I'll buy one

This is interesting. Please update if it works when you receive your Nexus 4.
Any update? Thanks.
I just got my phone today, and have the wiimote charger, but I'm stuck at work for another 2 hours...
When I get home I'll try it out and see how it goes.

Thank you. Please let us know the result.
I just got my phone yesterday too. Very interested if it works.
It didn't seem to work for me. :crying:
I made sure the wiimotes still charged properly on the pad, so I know it's not the pad. The phone definitely stuck to the pad w/ magnets like it's supposed to, but then it just sat there. The pad didn't blink in recognition of a device being present, and no screen-on or charging indication on the phone at all.
So much for using this pre-existing solution for inductive charging!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who tried this. I actually bought one of these to try with my Droid DNA, I plan on getting a Nexus 4 as my second phone (currently a Galaxy Nexus) as soon as I'm able to and I thought this would be great. Good thing is now I got a nice charger for my wii remotes.
I still wonder if there is some kind of simple hack that would make it work.
I didn't think the wiimote charger was Qi. Its more like a power mat which doesn't work either with Qi wireless charging.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
It is Qi, it sould work.
IT WORKS... sort of
So here it is, I found the sweet spot. :victory:
Line it up with the wiimote indention and leave about 1in at the top and about 1/3in at the bottom.
The catch?
It only stays charging while the phone is completely powered off. Leaving the phone on seems to cause it to charge intermittently... to the point that it only slows down the power drain and doesn't really charge it.
This is more than likely going beside my bed as I'm assuming that even with the power off it's going to charge ridiculously slowly.

Great info. Did you have 'DayDream' mode turned off in display settings? This mode turns on display when charging, uses alot of power and can cause overheating when inductive charging. I am using the Energizer Qi charger and have "DayDream' turned off and it works well. The standard Qi spec has 19v power supply. What are the specs on the Energizer Wii power supply.
Output is 2.8v 480mA. I tried taking it apart and messing with it too - no dice on a decent charge.

Slow charging? get a better cable(with proof)

Yesterday I just bought a new 8000mah power bank(ProMini 8000), which has 2.1A output but I still not very satisfy with the charge speed compare to the stock Note 2 lte charger.
So I did some experiments, found out charge speed have A LOT to do with the quality of cables! Going to share the result with you guys.
here are the tests
1. First is "Note 2 LTE stock charger + Note 2 LTE stock USB cable"

1.8A, not bad!
2. "The new power bank(ProMini 8000) + The USB cable came with the package"
1A...meh
3. "ProMini 8000 + Note 2 LTE stock usb cable"
WOAH!! 1.5A, lower than the stock charger but really not that bad!
4. "Note 2 LTE stock charger +My old Galaxy Note 1 stock USB cable"
1A, So what material is the Note 2 USB cable made of? Uranium? Even Note 1 stock USB cable can't compete
5. "Note 2 LTE stock charger + some home depot generic micro-USB to USB cable"
0.6A Well, you get what you pay for..
Honestly, I didn't expect USB cable quality make this much of a difference.
I guess the Note 2 USB cable used some higher gauge wires?
Anyway I am going out to get some more Note 2 stock cable tomorrow, for the power bank and maybe other computers.
Great info. (although thought might mention this is note 1 forum!)

Yeah man I was going to post on Note 2 forum but accidently I posted in here.

Important is the thickness of the cable I think...

Good find.. Actually i too facing the slow charging issue.. Will get a new charging cable now

I don't think it has anything to do with cable.
Try this,
1. Plug the adapter to power socket,
2. Plug the usb cable to adapter,
3. Open battery setting in your device (note 1 or 2). Before plugging the usb to your phone it should show unplugged
4. Plug the usb cable to device. It should show either AC or USB plugged.
5. UNPLUG and plug the cable until you get what you want, AC (fast) or USB (slow) charging.
I would say that our device keep it balanced between fast and slow charging to extend battery life.
Give it a try and tell me what happen.

I believe its more about the Charger it self, should always use original charger never the less.

Is it true?

Can someone post pic of the factory LG USB cable?

I swear I am using the cable that came with the phone but fast charge isn't working.... Always says I'm charging in slow mode...
Looking specifically for a close up pic of the two ends of the cable so I can visually verify I have the right one...
Thanks!
Do you use the cable with the original LG Charger ?
The LG Charger is 1,8A output.
The commons chargers and USB on computers are 1A output.
SO if you plug in your cable to a computer or other charger, it's normal.

from the D802, but really just try another cable to the charger if it makes any difference.
Hmmm, that is definitely different than what I believe to be the cable that came with my G2. Not sure how to tell what version of us, but it's Verizon.
But yes I have tried many combinations of cables with the LG charger and none of them are fast charging. Using CurrentWidget and a couple other battery monitoring apps, I've also found that I get a much higher amperage draw from the charger that came with my galaxy s3. Anywhere from 200mA - 400mA, whereas I only get 50mA-150mA with the cable in this pic and the 1.8mA LG charger. But still all of then state that they are Slow Charging.
Can someone tell me if this is the stock LG USB cable?
Does it matter if we use the fat g2 USB vs regular one like above picture?

You would be surprised how many times an USB cable matters, and then again when it doesn't.
For example a chromecast USB cable which I accidentally got, did not charge my phone almost at all and not DATA connection was possible. But that was a clear error and I do not think that cable should be used with anything but with the Chromecast being nicely shielded and all.
ASUS in my country uses same cables as the one pictured above (Still does not mean that his is not original LG). But if you get a normal connection on the computer same goes for AC , USB charging in places where they should be, use whatever cables you want.
Stay away rather from too generic, skinny unbranded ones from chinese pages. (Even though from them I always buy iPhone cables . BUt who would pay 15 bucks instead of 1 and they served my wife well)
So far ASUS, HTC, Samsung , LG, and Nokia cables did there job mixing across my devices.
Verizon stock cable.

Pagot - YEESS! I acutally used my Chromecast USB cable (which I'll be returned on Monday btw cause, well its just not that cool) ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I didn't think anything of it plugged it in and immediately walked away. Little did I realize, it was one of those cables that, 5 seconds after plugging in, reports that you should unplug it immediately to avoid damaging the phone!!!
I didn't see the message until the next morning and saw that my phone didn't get charged that night. And for about 2 days, I had VERY strange charging issues.. (see this post) I think they've gone away now, except that my fast charge isn't working.. But, back to the original purpose of this post, Im hoping that is USB cable related..
Anyway, it was the wierdest this, for about 2 days, certain chargers and USB cables that have always worked on this phone, didn't. The first day nothing but plugging into my computer would register any charge.. By that night most chargers worked but some wouldn't provide more than 50mA, and now, all of them seem to be working again..
SOOO, moral of the story is that in incorrect USB cable CAN damage your phone! At least temporarily.. Still doesn't make any sense to me how though.. Perhaps some protect feature kicked in and caused the symptoms I saw, but all I know is that my phone wouldn't charge anymore after using that Chromecast cable...

There is a thread in the G2 Accessories forum discussing compatible cables.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460881

So called fast wireless charging

So, i buy the Huawei expensive wireless charger, £60 UKP, very expensive
Sit the phone on it, 2 hrs 10, well that's feeble
Unplug it, use same cable it used but in phone, 1 hr 43.
Riiiight. What a waste of money

Agreed. It's been the same for 4-5 years.
I have original samsung fast wireless charger. and it wont fast charge anymore since last big update, takes near 3 hours for full charge :/ (fast wireless charge is toggled on in settings)
i suggest you monitor the power during wireless charging. it won't hit 15W from the start. and probably when it's near full charge, not sure how near, it won't hit 15W too.
i hv a usb device with an oled screen that will show the power, btw
and make sure your wireless charger is connected to the correct adapter. make sure the usb c cable is rated to support high wattage too.
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
If you wanted a phone for fast charging you should have gone with the OP6T. Wireless charging will never (maybe in the future, there is a possibility) be as fast as cable charging. Also, I would recommend for wireless charging to use the samsung products, other charges or other cables from other companies can have an effect on your battery. Huawei does not make chargers for Samsung phone, so they do not take into account the specs and how the battery voltages are.
Yes, the charger is compatible, but not build for that reason, the same as Airpods are not build for Samsung and Galaxy buds are not build for iPhone.
This is just my opinion, there is no reason to create a post to complaint about this, but what the heck we are entitled to say anything, just keep that in mind.
It's a forum, we can say what we want within the rules .
There is a lint, and a big point, may stop someone else wasting their money and that's a perfectly good reason to share
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
the point of wireless charging is so that right before you sleep, with lights turned off, all you need to do is rest your phone on it.
you probably would sleep 8 hours, dare i say slow charging would have been better for this.
in office, if you are often not at your desk, sit on the desk 15min then went off somewhere for a moment, probably faster/turbo/super wireless charging would have helped.
if you are a field engineer, probably wired power bank will help.

1: peak power is only delivered between 40-80% or whenever the voltage is judged healthy
2: wireless chargers throttle themselves for temperature management
3: you'll only achieve better results with compatible chargers from the same vendor
4: wireless charging is impractical for most people, inefficient and all but "wireless"
Buy a nice thick Anker USB C 3.1 gen 2 cable and stop worrying about gimmicks, I get close to 3amp on screen off and that's connected to my motherboard, the benefits of the fastest power and data delivery at the same time.
Soooo, i dont have the setting for fast wireless charge. Wonder why not.

Sure it is, I never said you were not supposed to post, the same as my post where I also indicate, that it is better to go for products develop by the manufacturer of the phone. One saving you the cost of damaging your phone. 2. Saving you the cost to then after buying something from another company wasting double because you need to buy the appropriate charger or cable to your phone.

I don't have that option, I do on the Galaxy S10 plus I have to send back because the LTE doesn't work but on this one it's just not there. It option should be above 'Bixby Routines'
