I just noticed when using a flash drive on my tablet.

Once I start using the flash drive, the pogo charger stops drawing power. I start losing power at about 900mA as reported from Android Tuner.

After I unmount and disconnect the flash drive, the tablet still refuses to charge the tablet.

Once I power down the tablet and reboot it, the pogo charger will start charging as normal. (+1.4mA just watching the battery monitor)

The tablet is running AOSP+, GApps, and KTManta. All of them were the latest versions.

Wondering if there's anybody else out there that uses USB OTG that can confirm/deny that the pogo stops charging when using a flash drive.

I noticed the same. If you plug in an otg cable with flash drive the pogo cable stops charging, even though it shows "Charging AC" in Settings -> Battery. If I pull out the otg cable it will start charging again.

I don't believe the charging while using USB OTG is a software issue. The manufacturer stated a safety feature was present to prevent damage from charging through the USB port and pogo pins at the same time. I'm assuming this safety feature is present in the AC chip in the cable, but I could be wrong.

It can't be because you can plug into your PC using at the same with no change.

I ordered mine January 10th, it was shipped the 14th, and I think I got it today 23th as I had a notification on the box. I will confirm tomorrow. Nine days from Korea to Texas is not bad at all. I can't wait to get it tomorrow! I've been consuming the whole battery every single day since I hit this thing (yes... I'm addicted...), I hit this cable and an USB extension cord. I hope this does the trick...

Just received my cable today to the UK. Took about two weeks exactly to arrive, haven't had a chance to try it out yet... charged fully last night.

Precondition to sell on Amzaon is stock availability. Our US agent has received stocks for shipping for orders

Thank you again. it's a race to see if the one I ordered via your website on 1/11 or the one I just ordered off Amazon will get here first.
I can use both, home and work.

Thanks!

Charging at 2A works. I don't thing anyone has shared a chart yet, so here is one. I this is with the pogo cable attached to the stock charger.

    So are there any places currently selling these?

    Not sure I got this from the eBay seller in South Korea that had his ad taken down.

    You got it really fast !

    Where are you located?

    How fast is the chargeing

    Thanks!!!,

    Yeah I was surprised too! the seller had an option for express shipping when I paid for $10 more, I didn't have a problem spending a few bucks more.

    I haven't used it enough yet to notice any faster charging, it went from 70% to 98% in a little less than 2 hours.

    I searched high and low and finally found an adapter that puts out 2.1A on each of two outlets - concurrently. Excellent quality. Same spec on each channel as oem charger on its single outlet. Great fit and finish too. Can support two high demand devices at once.

    I've been using it with the Pogo cable, and it is perfect. Link:

    It's here!

    Just wanted to let everyone know I got my Pogo Cable today!

    It is in my opinion extremely high quality build. I have so far used it with my wall charger and my car charger and it works fantastic.

    If I didn't know better I'd say was an OEM from Samsung or Google.

    I know I know post pictures..........

    OK I'll get some made and post them very soon.

    Just out of interest, has anyone actually measured what current the nexus actually draws from the charger?

    I've just spliced in my ammeter and with the battery showing 45% its currently drawing 0.59A and this is with the stock charger and whilst typing this. If I put the nexus into standby then it drops to 0.50A

    I'll do some further testing this week charging from 0-100% this week and let you know what I find.

    Btw this is using the USB port.
