[Q] Charging over USB through PC

---

Hello,

I am new here and have found some answers but no solution for this problem, so I try again by a new thread (sorry if I missed an answer)

I want to charge my tab through the usb connection to my pc or in my car and not only through the AC-adapter.

In the development discussion is this theme going on (page 101):

1|u0

I don't kmow why this error, I am root, but anyway, I changed this value directly using root explorer and a text editor and it works for me, now I have enabled usb and non-samsung-charger charging.

Thanks a lot!

You are using Terminal Emulator ? If yes then no need to write adb shell, just su first then echo 1 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/force_usb_charging

I followed this instruction by Using the Terminal Emulator. Changing to "1" works fine until I restart my tab, than its back to "0" and I do have to change it again.

How can I keep the wanted setting to "1" ?

Thanks for help in advance

CM10 and 10.1 Jellybean come with USB charging already enabled. Wonder why yours doesn't work. Anyway you may need to change your kernel first before activating the feature. I heard A1 kernel works great, I use Pershoot kernels in both JB 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 which I interchange depending on what I need to do. Both have the feature. I also use stock ICS but I never bothered with the feature there.

John,

Thanks for your help.

Changed the kernel to the A1 1.8.4. P4 G3 and its working again.

I had the Kernel 3.1.10 from CM from somewhere in Januari on it and somewhere it went wrong with that one.

The A1 is doing what I needed.

Thanks

Peter

problem not solved

Today I updatet to the nightly 28-02 and noticed that charging over usb connection is not working. The kernel is back to 3.1.10-cyanogenmod+root@pershoot-ubuntu#4 Wed jan 16 05:31:00EST 2013 and guess what:

Charging through a usb connection to PC is disabled.

So I have to change the Kernel back to the A1 again.

kernel changed

---

Changed the Kernel to A1 version: 3.1.10_A1_V1.8.4. Daniel@Daniel3 #283 Sun Dec 23 16.02.03 EST 2012.

USB charging is working!

So I presume that in the Pershoots Nightly the Kernel is disabling usb charging. Or is there another way to activate the usb-charging?

Peter

Did a full wipe and installed the cm10.1 - 20130301 Nightly. Same issue. Had to install the A1 kernel again.

Updated to todays version 05/03/2013. Noticed that the Kernel has been updated to: 3.1.10-cyanogenmod+root@pershoot-ubuntu#4 SunMar 3 19:35:46 EST 2013.

No charging over usb connection.

Changed to A1 and charging is working.

you have to activate it.

the instructions are right above you. must be root.

i had it enabled automatically (for a short time), but this cauised issues with certain tabs in the suite (the touchscreen would go bonkers) when plugged in and booting, so i removed it. its also safer not to have it on by default, because not all pcs can supply a consistent voltage output. if the power going to the battery is waivering, it could potentially cause issue.

samsung did not have this enabled at all (probably for that very reason).

Thanks

Pershoot,

Thank you for your reply. The solution of activating as I copied above is only working until the next reboot.

I now understand why you did not activate this, and I will take good notice of your advice. Nevertheless it is rather strange that I do not experience any problem using the A1 kernel.

Greatings,

Peter

dont forget, thousands of people and their tabs have to be attenuated for with any changes done. it may work for you and your tab, but that doesn't mean it will work out for anyone else and their tabs.

there's a lot of variance there.
