[SOLVED]Entropy: Got a charging question.

---

OK, first off I'm on infused v2.0.2 with bedwa's infusion kernel. I've been reading your threads and noticed what I think is a problem with my charge current. After I applied the /1.83 operator to current widget I only see a max of 475 mA on AC outlet power on a charger I bought. The charger is a Griffin charger that says 1A. The USB cable I'm using is the stock cable. When I use the stock charger I get ~250mA. What's happening here? I can get 1100mA on my car charger pre-operator in current widget which I'm thinking is roughly the 600mA max. Its an AT&T charger made for the aria (I think). Is something wrong with my phone? I think it charged the same on stock but not sure. What should I do?

Thanks for any help. You're the best I know when it comes to charging info.

475 mA means you're in USB charging mode.

Which is what will happen with any iDevice charger. iDevice chargers use resistors to set D+ and D- at either 2.0 volts each or 2.0 on one and 2.8 on the other. Our phone treats this as USB.

You need a cable (I think AT&T's dedicated charge-only cable will do this) that shorts D+ and D- together if you want to use an iPod/iPhone/iPad charger. (Exception - car dock hides the charger's D+ and D- and the ID resistor in the dock takes priority.)

250 mA on stock charger sounds odd unless the battery was almost full.

Hah. Duh! My battery was at ~95% and I plugged it up to the stock charger to see what the current was. That was my fault. I didn't think about the iDevice thing but I remember reading it now. I think that explains it.

Thanks!
