Hi guys
I bought a 5pin male to 5pin male charging cable for use while traveling.
It basically can charge android phones etc. from each others battery if you need emergency power.
I wont be using it a whole lot, but its useful if I run out of juice and can use someone elses phone to
briefly get power.
The cable is short, about 15cm.
The thing is my Tab S can accept the charge from any other smartphone using that cable, but CAN NOT
send power to those same devices.
However, when I used to smartphones side by side, they were able to give and take power.
Is there a setting or restriction not allowing Tab S users to charge other devices using this type of cable?
Of course I can accept a charge to my Tab S, so thats most important. But sometimes Id like
to be able to trickle charge my phone from my Tab S if desperately needed.
Thanks!
Since the cable has both ends identically, how the devices know which one should charge for another one?
Its a special male to male 5pin cable. The ends of the cable are marked regarding which charges etc

I'm interested in that, clever little idea. Any chance you could post a link of the cable?
Sorry I can't be of much help though, maybe the Tab S just doesn't deliver enough amps through the MicroUSB port to charge the device you're trying to charge. It's difficult to tell but I'd reckon it'd be a limitation of it's hardware rather than a software setting you can change.
Just buy an usb battery bank they are cheap enough now, buy an nice big one.

I might be crazy but it seems like only certain cables able to charge my phone under the USB charging moniker while others say AC POWER. I assume the cables that say AC POWER are charging my phone faster. Is there a way to tell which cable will have the higher power output? I am looking to buy one on amazon.
Thank you
p.s the one that came with the phone says AC POWER.

I've found that the cables I have that say 'LG' on them charge better.
I've used cables marked 'Samsung', 'Motorola', 'Sony Ericsson', and 'HTC'. All of them seem to have issues charging my Nitro.

It's not the cable that determines that. It's whether you connect to a power-only USB port (i.e., USB power adapter) or connect to a computer USB port (which will charge at a lower rate, but still works). Also, different USB adapters charge at different rates. The one that came with the phone charges at 1.2A. Computer USB ports are limited to 500mA (= 0.5A).
That said, I'd recommend a USB cable from Monoprice.

I've bought about 6 of these cables over the years. You can't beat the value here. The cables are thick and well insulated, USB 2.0 Certified Sync and Charge cables. I've never had any issue with them. They've been used for my Nexus One, my wife's Moto RAZR and of course for my current Nitro.

Can I get long cables, e.g. 3-5 meters?
okay so my charger for my xoom broke and im leaving for a trip tomorrow. i dont have time to wait to buy it off amazon, is there anyway i can charge the xoom without that charger? like over usb, or some ghetto style rig, i dont care. Can i take the pin off my old charger and attach it to another one with same output? HALP!
u cant charger it through usb cable and all u need the charger or the charging docking stating in order to charge sorry sir there is no other way bad luck

If you can get the pin off your old charger you can make it into a usb power plug by soldering the wires together and heatshrinking it. Basically the XOOM will work on any charger that outputs 5V DC, so technically you could charge via USB, but it be a lot slower by 2X I believe. USB is 600mha while the official XOOM charger is 1200mha.
Xoom doesnt have working usb charge Function ... only with original charger and dock power pins (two golden ones)
Xooms Hardware doesnt allow usb charge without Hardware Modifications!

I guess people these days don't either read correctly or don't give any thought to my posts. I been posting in various forums and they all tend to miss important details as of lately. I will state what I said again:
If you take the pin off your adapter and modify it to connect VIA USB IT WILL WORK, jeez I can't believe people can't even understand that. When I was talking about charging via USB, that is assumed that you have the modified cable you made.
SO therefore I was right, and you are talking crap.

Alright I will admit I was wrong on one thing, the adapter says 12V 1.5A, not 5V 1.2A, thought it was 5V since my usb car charger works. But anyways here is the damn proof that USB CHARGING IS POSSIBLE.

More than enough proof for you.
Your information should have been, If you take off the power adapter from the cable and modify a car charger to the end it would work..
If your information was post correctly there won't be any miss understand, by the way it is not a pin its a plug.
I'm not going to bother explaining every freakin context behind each words I say. My info more was than enough, unless you are some dim person and couldn't get my point. I clearly stated the fact that you had to solder and heatshrink the wires. Which I believe was more than a big enough "hint". Besides I brought my own adapter "plug" "pin" "tip or whatever you want to call it, so there was no need to modify a freakin car charger. Still can't read can you?

The USB only outputs 5V. The battery is 7.4 lithium poly which charges to 8.4V so can you see why this won't charge. By the way it is Write and not rite or right. Also there are a few mods that can be added to this tablet to make it run well. My solar panel will charge it up nicely when I'm at work or whatever.

The cable you bought is a data cable, 28awg cable. You need 24awg if you want it to charge like a normal cable.

Are you using an HTC OEM AC to USB charger? If you are not, then that might be why you are getting that slow charge message.

i've got this and it charges really well, takes about an hour to charge from ~50%.
however it could be a combination of this cable and the Anker 5Port 40w charger.
Finding it hard to get a cheap cable in the UK. Amazon UK is near £30. I have found this one which specifies 28/24 but is still quite expensive...anybody see any cheaper for 28/24awg...

It probably is a 24awg cable. Not because of the charger since the the current would be limited by the thickness of the cable. Like I said, it's a simple case of buying the correct cable. OP your phone will charge slow with a DATA cable which is usually 28/28AWG. You need 24/28AWG (24 for 5V and 28AWG for data transfer). A good google search will find you these quite easily. Amazon is probably best bet
To be honest..
I probably wouldnt bother with thicker cables. I mean it will help but only a small amount. Install a Kernal like elementalX to enable the qualcomm fast-charge feature that HTC suppresses stock.
22 AWG okay for charging ?

No, they make a lot of difference. What he bought, is a USB cable initially, one which probably wasn't advertised as a 'charging cable' more a data cable. So they have a much thinner wire because 5v is not going through. Your average USB charging cable provided for mobile phones is 24AWG, with 28AWG cable for data, 'data only cables' off ebay are 28AWG and 28AWG (higher the number, thinner the wire), these take hours to fully charge a phone
fastcharge
If you are rooted, kernels like ElementalX and TeamSeven gives you the ability to activate USB fastcharge. Might help you if you experience slow charging
Just wanted to know what are specs for the charger/cable. I can get tons of aftermarket chargers for my ip4 at a buck or two at the most from asian sellers from asia. am I right that I simply need a 2a charger, with a mini usb cable at the end? just looking into getting extra for when they decide to release it to the public.

Anyone tried to trace pinout yet? IIRC, I read somewhere 2 of the pins in the cable were shorted, signaling to the OP that it was to take quick charge. I'll try to find that. The same article / post discussed temp sensor limiting amount of charge since the OP would get hot. Not as quick as true fast charge, but faster than standard.
edit: found it: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/vooc-charging-seems-to-be-working.12639/ by one of XDA's well known devs, @graffixnyc - Thanks Patrick!

I have a question. If you use the OPO charger, but plug a usb extender into it(and the OPO cable goes into a usb female at the end of the extender cable), does does having that non-OPO cable in the chain slow things down? Mine does seem to charge slow, but I've honestly never connected the OPO cable directly from the charger to the phone to compare. I honestly don't understand how anyone could use it like that (or any other cable coming with a phone). Not even long enough to stretch from an outlet to a table top if the outlet is right next to the table. My Dell Venue 8 Pro cable is amazing(ly ridiculous). It's maybe a foot long. I guess they expect us to charge our devices on the floor? With the DV8P case the cable would barely even reach the floor!
i can confirm that using the OPO wall charger with a 3rd party usb cable does result in a slower charge time. I tried 2 different cables-- both were of different gauges and lengths-- both resulted in different charge times and were all at least 2-3x slower then the OPO cable. anybody with knowledge as to what kind of cable OPO is using and where we can buy longer versions?

I can also confirm slower charging using the stock charger with aftermarket cable. But most of my cables are cheaper, is it possible that the gauge of the wire inside the cable is higher on opo cable? Allowing more amps through?
Also, @effluent , if using an aftermarket cable slows things down, I'm assuming putting an extension in the middle will have very similar negative impacts.

You want a charger cable that won't fail.... Stop buying them online. I've bought them everywhere online and they just can't compete with the usb/charger cable from tmobile.... Maybe be the same for other service providers. Plus you get 30 days to refund or exchange.... So you know after a month if it's worth it which it is.... Those teeth won't sit down and ruin the quality of the charge like 90 percent of the cables online.

You just have to find the right cable. I went through this same thing with my galaxy s5. I got the application "galaxy charging current" and compared the milliamps of all my cables. Some would only do 4-500 ma. Some would do 1800ma. It just depends on the cable. I'm using the cable I got with a ps4 right now, and it will do 1800, and it's 4 feet long.

Try a fast-charge cable, it has the correct pinout (shorted pins) for fast charging.
www<DOT>amazon.co.uk/dp/B0088HTYUE
And you can't overcharge, it's the phone that demands the current, not the charger that pushes the current through the phone. The phone's charging circuit protects the phone for overcharging and handshakes the right charging current with the connected charger. Charging Android is quiet a complex thing...

I don't fully understand why, but I've read that due to our phone using USB-C for charging, that I should probably just use the OEM cable and charger my phone came with. I have an LG G5 charger and cable laying around, but the specs are slightly different than the 10's. Would it damage my phone to use that as a spare charger? Also, can somebody give me a simple explanation why USB-C is delicate for quick charging?

i would check the output voltage, htc can accept ~5volt ~9volt and ~12volt.
if you have a good usb-a to usb-c cable (stock or somethink like aukey (NOT ANKER)) i would feel comfortable becouse the phone and the charger communicate with eachother on what voltage to charge.

To be even more precise, on just one model ID of their PowerLine USB C cables, the rest of their PowerLine USB C cables are fine.
Anker’s Powerline 3.1 Gen2 cable has a flaw that causes it to “remember” the charging voltage for a laptop that it’s plugged into, then accidentally provide that higher voltage to a phone unless it’s unplugged from the more powerful charging base. This can overload your phone and destroy it.
