Hi everybody,
I am looking for a magnetic micro usb adapter / cable for my Windows Yoga Book.
What i want is to protect the micro usb port: instead of plugging and unplugging the cables to charge and to synchro data with a magnetic micro usb always plugged in.
But up to now, I haven't found any magnetic micro usb that is able to synchro data on my WINDOWS Yoga Book. It charges OK, but no Data possible.
Has anyone tried or found anything ?
Thanks

Just got my A500. It has a lot of cool ports, including the proprietary charging plug. On other devices it is possible to use the micro USB cable to connect to the PC and to charge the device via a wall charger.
So my question is this. Can I use a micro-usb charger to charge my A500 via the micro-usb slot?
Not on the A500. Takes too much juice to charge the big batteries. You have to charge through the plug .

Has anybody tried this: 1. Setup a powered USB hub plugged into the Micro OTG cable 2. hack the cable from right after the OTG cable to where it plugs into the hub, so that the voltage pins are exposed 3. solder in the voltage pins to a usb connector so you can plug in a normal charger [5V 2A] 4. check to see if you can use the USB hub and charge at the same time
I currently have a Asus transformer TF101 and the primary use is watching clips off a 500GB usb HDD. I really, really want to get a N7 and sell my TF101, but if charging & simultaneous host mode is not possible, I would be slightly hesitant to buy it, because I would be eating up the battery much faster than I would like.
Hello guys, recently my micro usb port is not working properly, the pc's can't detect it(tried 4, mac,windows and linux os's) so is not the computer, changed 3 cables, so is not the cable, something must be wrong with the micro usb port, it can charge(usb, wall power) with no problem, but the phone is not detect by pcs, adb, etc, any idea what could be the problem? how can it be charging and the usb debbuging protocol or whatever isn't working, can I screw the transfer usb protocol? but the charge protocol in the same micro usb port could be still working, thanks in advice!

I had the same problem as you, it was impossible to make any computer to recognize the phone. Moreover it charged very slow, the phone thought that it was always plugged to the computer even if it was connected to the wall charger.
I did a factory reset, but the problem persisted. I called Google and they sent my a new phone, which now works perfect.

If your connect both your pogo cable and your mico usb cable to your pc they won't charge at the same time. Drivers at the kernel level detect that both are connected to the tablet and only let one charge to prevent power draw overload. In this case it would charge from the pogo charger as it can recognize that the pogo charger is delivering a safe amount of power while simultaneously cutting down on charging time. You can however connect your pogo charger and have the tablet charge while the micro usb cable is connected to transfer files to and from your tablet, use adb etc. Let me know if you still have questions.

I would double check that comment. I have a pogo plug and OTG cable with Ethernet adapter or SD card reader attached. The icon that indicates the device is charging shows BUT it is not actually charging. I confirmed this under both Android 4.3.x and 4.2.2

Very interesting, the point I mentioned above is as least theoretically what is supposed to happen when plugging on both charging sources. Just to clarify your device doesn't charge at all when you have the pgoo plug and OTG cable with Ethernet adapter or SD card reader attached?

In theory yes but Google didn't include it in the Android rom. A developer for the old Nexus 7 did add the capability but never for the Nexus 10. I doubt very much that the next version of the Nexus 10 will include a pogo plug connection.
Hi
Now that Note 3 has a USB 3.0 charging port, is there a way to use the old Micro USB cable just for charging?
I have Note 2 & have four chargers with Micro USB cable for Home, Office, Travel & Car.
If I upgrade, all this will go waste. So I want to know if I can use these cabls for chargin purpose for N3.
Also is there a converter for Micro USB to USB 3.0 for charging purpose etc?
Pl do share options for me
Thanks

Search and you shall find your answer. It's backward compatible as mentioned in the other threads.

It`s a dual port.You can use your old cables with it.
You will notice that the USB 3.0 cable seems to consist of two connected parts - there's a reason for this, and that's because it does consist of two connected parts!
Regular MicroUSB cables can be inserted in the "wider" part of the USB 3.0 port.

Female micro-USB 3.0 connectors have always fit male micro-USB 2.0 cables just fine. Anyone who's owned a 2.5" USB 3.0 external HDD could've told you that years ago. The extra pins fit beside the existing 2.0 pins. It's the only way that makes sense.
