[Tip] Charge your phone with your Xoom

[SPIDERTECH]

Here is the one I picked up that is working pretty nicely.

I've heard people saying the adapter would be a bad idea for the xoom and one should go with the cable. The adapter with a usb cable plugged in seems like it would put undue stress on the xoom's micro usb port.

Do you notice any issue with that using the adapter? I was looking to get one for this very purpose as well as being able to also use an external flash drive.

I haven't noticed anything, the adapter is pretty light I don't feel it would cause any issues.

Haven't found a Micro to Micro cable yet.

confirmed working. just got the adapter and my phone started charging.

now to find a micro to micro cable instead... less strain is good.

Found a cable, at least I think this would be it: http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/1786116-cable-micro-usb-b-m-m-2m-ak67401-2-r.html

Trying to order though it says it is backordered with an expected ship date of May 30.

moto has released their camera connection kit which is an OTG style pigtail usb. purchase that and then plug in your usb charge cable for the phone and your set. i have this cable and it works just fine. funny the evo even recognizes the xoom as a host device.. cant do anything with it though.. (yet).

This isn't working for me when I connect my incredible, neither device recognizes the connection. Do I need usb debugging or anything else enabled?

Edit: wifi only

I've tired charging a thunderbolt and an incredible and neither device recognizes or is charged by the xoom. What could be causing this?
