Hi,

I just got this item from ebay: New USB Charger Converter Adapter for Samsung Galaxy P1000 Tab

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190706474031?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

it says in the specs that "Connects Samsung P1000 charging cable with 2.1A current output power adapter."

I tried with the tablet 8.9 and it really charges from the computer USB, unlike a without this converter that only keeps the charging.

Im using A1 kernel and Im just wondering if there is any risk? or someone have experience this kind of adapters earlier?

ERM. Doesn't the tab come with a 2.1amp out brick in the box?

Both my 10.1 and 8.9 came with the same 2.1amp brick.

If you want faster charging, you gotta find a kernel that supports fast charge. AFAIK, AOKP builds this in and can be swapped on and off in performance settings.

if you're charging from a standard .5A usb 2 port you won't charge any faster as this won't magically turn your .5A port to a 2.1A. what it will do is allow you to fast charge from a source that can output more power, like an aftermarket usb charger or possibly a usb 3.0 port.

I have it with me, and it does the magic, normal usb cable doesnt charge at all ( on a1 kernel 1.7.3) with this device in few minutes i see an increase in charge.

Im just a bit worried since i havent seen any of these around, if someone else have used them
