Anyway to get a Hyperion dock to fast charge?

---

Hey all,

I have tried powering my dock with the Samsung wall charger (The square black one) that came with the phone, if I direct connect the USB cable to my phone, it fast charges but if I connect via my Hyperion dock it slow charges.

Before I start damaging the dock, is there a way to force fast charging without shorting pins?

Thanks!

It might be the pin configuration in the dock considering it has to also double as a USB dock....

Tried 2 different power sources. The OE that shipped that states 1.5A and an HP Touchpad one that states 2.0A. Plugged directly into the phone, the Hyperion only sends 453mah whereas the HP sends 1003mah of charge. Plugged both into the dock and the 453 is what comes out to the phone. Even while charging the extra battery only 453mah output. So it seems like the dock is to blame.... :(

The easiest way to do what you want without making a change in your docking is to get one of those short usb standard jack to standard socket. They are like a little extension that mainly come bundled with thumbdrives so they are easy to connect to crammed USB ports. You can open that extension (don't snip it) along the cable to exposed d the inside conductor wires. You will have 5 conductors, the shield (either a silver braided sleeve or a plastic like silver sleeve), red (+5), black (volt gnd), green (-data) and white (+data) (sometimes they replace the white for yellow). After exposing the conductors peel a little bit of the two data cables, short them together (don't snip them), put some black electrical tape around them to shield them then do the same for the larger cut you did. When you connect this cable to your charger then to the docking the two data cables short will signal the phone to go on fast charging. Make sure you do have a charger rated for at least 1.5 amps. Don't use this cable if you are doing anything that requires communication with the phone as this will not allow any data to flow to the phone. Use only when fast charging is required.

You can also look for a USB cable that has tabs holding the connector ends together. These are easier to work with, even if you're using a micro-USB cable. Pop the tabs with a needle and separate the two halfs of the plastic casing. The wires are already separated and soldered to the connector. You can short the wires there and reconnect the two plastic halfs.
