Does anyone able to use USB Hub while charging the phone? I have a Type C USB Hub with charging port. The connected USB devices became disconnected once I plug in the charger at the hub. They became connected again once I removed the charger from the hub. Is this an issue with the hub itself or does it have to with software on the phone? My Pocofone F1 are able to use the USB devices while still being charge so I don't think the hub is the problem. Can anyone confirm?

Who here uses a USB hub to charge their t9193? I tried this on a Belkin USB hub without success (light indicator doesn't turn on). Is there a speciic way to make it charge through a USB hub or is mine just not compatible?
Does your HD2 charge from a PC USB port properly? A lot of times, USB hubs will need a 12v DC power source to create the 5v power required for USB devices. (Wall wart to the mini circular plug end found on laptops, etc) If your hub doesn't have that input, I'd find one that does. I bet that's your issue.
On a good powered usb hub maybe, but it will still
be less power than the wall charger and will not charge your battery as well.

My USB hub is powered by an AC adapter to the wall. I'm thinking it may be the voltage that doesn't work w/ the hd2 then..
So my USB Hub says
input 100 - 240V~0.8A 47-63Hz
output 5V 2.6A
That is probably spread over all the ports on the hub.
What else is plugged into the hub? Un-plug them and try to charge. Many hubs will say that and not come with the extra power supply. It is extra. Does yours have the power supply?
Yes, it has a physical power supply and when I tried it, nothing else was plugged in except the power supply to wall.
I setup a self-powered USB2.0 hub which has a 2.5AMP power adapter. I used a dual male (split) to single female USB cable and plugged the TAB USB cable into that.
This same dual cable & hub works fine to power an external USB hard-drive which won't work with just a single cable for power. I would think with 2+ AMPS it should charge the TAB "normally" (with no "x" on the battery indicator) but it does not, the "x" remains. All other devices have been removed from the hub.
Anyone else been able to get a normal charge off a PC or USB hub with a split cable? It's such a pain to have to put the TAB on the wall charger then switch it back to the PC.
when the screen is off the device charges, despite what the battery display says.

Correction, it trickle charges. Very slowly.

I understand that but I was under the obviously incorrect impression that if you used a double male USB to single female USB cable you would get a normal charge since there is more power available. Is the charge rate dependent on the TAB seeing power on a specific pin of the cable telling it that a charger is connected and not a cable to the PC? I'm connected to a self-powered hub with a big 2.5amp power supply and nothing else connected to it.
I'm on CM 10.2, so it could be a bug with that.
At work I have a usb 3.0 hub, which will charge devices at 1A, twice USB 2.0. But if you hook the tablet up to the hub the tablet will display that it's charging, but for some reason it really isn't. It displayed charging for an hour and lost 5% while screen off.
Go and enable USB Debugging and all the sudden the hub will light up and charge at 1A.
kinda dumb, but it works.
First, my apologies if this isn't the proper place for this thread. Please point me in the right direction.
I have an in-dash Nexus 7 solution using an OTG cable and a powered USB hub. My issue is the damn USB devices connected to the hub suck the life out of the N7 when power is turned off to the hub and OTG connected charger. I attempted to mitigate this by splicing a 1N4001 diode on the power side of the OTG cable but not luck. The N7 charges properly but the USB devices still show power when the power is turned off to the USB hub.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In short, I have an unrooted sprint s6e+. I plugged my usb dac in today and while I got great audio out of it, it wouldnt charge while connected to the audio device (usb otg cable with a charger connected, verified the charger works) is there anything I can enable without root to charge on the host cable? If not, has anyone tried wireless charging while in host mode? And does it work?
Doesn't seem like anyone else was wondering, but no... Cannot wireless charge in host mode either...
