Hello. Does anyone tried to use asus usb charger plus with sensation? I don't know how to make it charge faster. It charges as a regular usb port now (500ma).
You have to check if there is a short circue of USB connecter for data transfer.
If not, you may try to flash custom kernel which support fastcharge.

I'm using genuine HTC charger.
For original HTC charger kit, the D+ and D- of USB connector were shorted. In order to charge over 500ma, you need a good transfer wire. I've tried to use a cheap wire with original HTC charger, the charge current was limited in 500ma.
Basically, to obtain charge current over 500ma, there should be shorted circue in either charger or transfer wire of D+ and D-.

dont be mistake in the asus charging. only Asus AC power charging used 12v it'll be charging fast and quickest.
I got a charging for tf101 and I used it charging for any device, its incredible quick . full after 2 hours in used
I believe Asus USB charger plus is only valid for apple devices like iPhone and iPads. What it does is that it can charge those devices even when the computer is in deep sleep mode. It doesn't work with the sensation as I have tried it with my Asus laptop.
Correct me if I'm wrong as this is what I read on the web

You don't want to change voltage as that WILL fry your phone.
What you want is a higher current output (mA).
A computer usb won't do for this, so you'll want a wall charger. But you don't want too high of a current either. Just get one with a higher current than the stock charger.

Thanks for correcting me. The wall charger is what I guess I'm trying to avoid. I charge my phone via usb from my radio in my car but it takes far to long. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, that uses the usb spec which is 5V dc @ 500 mA. And there isn't a way to change that.
You'll have to get a dedicated charger of at least 1 A (or 1000 mA).

****ty, when i use the gps and charge it, its a wash. I guess im hiding a cig outlet in my dash somewhere. sounds like im doing a right up in the passat forum.
Newer Gigabyte boards offer USB ON/OFF charging, which offers slightly more than 1 A of current when the computer is off. But you can still use the port for charging.
My main concern is the usb connection in my car.

You can boost it, just use Ohm's law. Find the element(s) in the circuit and change them.

Well, I = V/R
A car's battery is 12 V. Use a multimeter and identify what circuit elements need to be changed and change them.

I'm pretty sure it's more than a resistor regulating the voltage at 5v. Also, it's not as simple as changing resistors, especially with surface mount devices. It would be MUCH easier to hard wire in a charger with at least 1A current output than mess with a usb connection that also could very well fry the deck.

It depends on your motherboard. My Asus has a feature on the USB 3.0 ports that charges about as fast as using the wall plug

mine will merely maintain the charge while im using the wifi hotspot and have it charging off the laptop. not worth it to mess with the wiring in your car. luckily, i have 12v and 110v in my car so i have options

Guys, what is the maximal output current? Will 1.5A fry the phone/battery? (HTC Sensation of course)

No.
The voltage is what will fry it.
A 1.5 amp charge won't deliver 1.5 amps all the time. That means it's capable of delivering 1.5 amps. The actual amperage is determined by the phone. The phone is only going to draw 1 amp.
What you want to make sure of is that the charger is a standard 5 Volt charger. The voltage is what the charger will deliver every time no matter what is plugged into it. If you have a charger fro a difference device that delivers 12 Volts, it will end your phone.

Yes...It really only works with its own stuff. Some have claimed to have it charge from usb when it was off but I have never tested it.
Are any other similar devices able to charge through usb? Netbooks or laptops? Usb was not designed to be a big power source. Some hard drives require two usb connectors for just a hard drive.

From what i have read in other threads it has to do with the voltage required and how Asus wired their plug.
Use USB 3.0 cables and it will work fine. Also use a USB 3.0 port on the pc for slow charging.
Usb 3 cable works fine here...

Is there any store (online or in Sydney) that sells a HTC charger (with an Australian plug)? I want to know this because I have looked on eBay for Nexus One USB chargers (the wall charger where you can detach the USB cable), but I only found US chargers.
Any Micro usb 1.5A charger will do
Ok thanks, I will have a look on eBay. Right now I am using an Apple charger which takes 5 hours.

That probably has to do with the USB cable and not the charger. If I remember right, you have to short out the data leads of the usb cable for it to charge faster. The reason behind this is USB is not able to output the same amount of power as a regular charger, so when the phone detects the USB connection, it automatically does a slower charge. Whenyou short out the data connections, it prevents the phone from recognizing it as a USB charger.
Reading the manual, it says after charging the first time, that the tablet can be charged by USB if there is enough power through the USB port. I put an extension between the Asus adapter and the proprietary cord, and it won't charge unless directly connected to the adapter. I have USB 3 port on my computer that gives out higher than standard power, and I have a USB port in my car, and this tablet won't charge on anything except a direct single asus wire connection to the Asus adapter. Is this correct? It seems that I may have a defective tablet.
Are there any other people having this issue.
USB 3.0

The USB extension also needs to be USB 3.0. Is the one you're using?
The extension was to the power outlet in the wall.
I wonder if the Asus chord is made for USB 3 then?
Sent from my brain to my hand to XDA
Is your extension just a USB extension or a powered USB extension? Maybe it carries data but not power? Can you charge other devices with the extension (and do they actually charge at a decent rate)?
Yes! I charge my htc sensation on it all the time. But I more than that, I am trying to find out if others are able to charge via the Asus proprietary USB cord to another source such as a computer or car etc.....
as opposed to using the wall power adapter from Asus

I also can't get the tf700 to charge with any adapter other than the supplied charger. I've tried 500mA, 1A and 1.9A (from a Nook color) USB chargers and none work.

I am quite certain that it says in the user manual that it is possible to charge via USB, i don't have it with me at work, but can someone verify this.... it could be a major issue for some, and needs to be addressed. I know that the battery power at full charge is not going to last all day for me, and being able to charge via USB is really important since i am in sales so i do not have access to an electrical outlet, but i do have a USB port in my car.

I'll add my personal experience to this...
When I got the tablet I put in a basic USB extension cable between the tablet cable and the outlet adapter. I didn't notice for an hour or so that it wasn't saying it was "charging".
Except...in that hour the battery hadn't gone at all.
And with the screen off and left to its own devices it will charge to 100%.
So I guess the point is this, it may not say its charging but it is getting power. If you're using it as like an overnight charging thing, it should work just fine.
Doesn't the manual say that you need to power it off before changing over USB?

I'll have to check this out, but I hope one doesn't need to have to restart a tablet, just to change the power source. Kind of a pain

So maybe it is charging a little, even though it says it isn't. I think I will try this out and leave it for a few hours or overnight as a test.

So I plugged into the USB port and the power level was at 78%, I left it plugged in for about 5 hours and when i rechecked, it read 97%. The whole time it read as Not charging. This is good news, I really need that feature. It is interesting that it reads as Not charging, this must be a software error.

Well as long as the power supplied is 5V (the usb standard) and under 1.2 amp (the output of the factory wall adaptor) you should be safe not burning out your phone. If you are just asking about a usb to micro usb cable then it shouldn't matter since the cable should supply the right voltage anyways.

The phone will only take the amps that it needs. I would get a 2A+ charger to be on the safe side.

This is one of the reasons I bought the oem charger. Had the ac/usb issue. Changed wires and still does that. Used my gnex charger and it didn't give me problems. So I said it must be the charger itself. Bought the new one and now I'm confident when plugging my phone in. No more issues on the ac/usb charging thing

at least you narrowed it down fast to the wire. in my case after swapping just the wires it was still the same. then when i used the original n4 charger on my gnex, my gnex suddenly had the ac/usb charging issue. my problem with not getting another charger was i sometimes charge both phones at the same time so i needed one more. good thing a couple of searches led me to the buychina site and now all works well.
I am very interested in this topic as I believe I'm going to need a new USB > MicroUSB cable. My cat accidentally knocked off my N4 while it was charging using the original cable/charger. While it seems the charger itself is okay, the cable is what I am worried about. The end seems slightly bent and, while it will plug into the N4 (which will report charging) it doesn't go as "easily". From visual inspection I think the problem is with the cable's microUSB end; I really hope that the N4's socket itself is not bent/damaged in anyway, but I cannot see any visual signs thereof.
I was really hoping to pick up another OEM charging kit, but it appears that (assuming they are legit ) that one can only find them on Taobao/ChinaBuy as linked above? I was hoping Amazon would have them. With this in mind, will there be anything specific to look for finding another "USB to MicroUSB cable" from Amazon to use with the existing, undamaged OEM charger? Thanks.
I'm no expert but I believe there shouldn't be any issue of you get a different cable. I've used an HTC, Samsung and Asus calls with the LG charger and there aren't any issues. If it's just the cable you need, go with Amazon. It'll be faster

Great, thanks. It seems logical that all "USB A > MicroUSB B" cables should be capable of the same thing, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something that would say, impair my ability to use this cable for not only charging with the OEM wall charger, but charging from my PC's USB ports, connecting to said PC via USB Debugging for rooting/flashing etc...

DUDE!!!! The 12V charger can KILL your phone.. The phone is designed for 5volts..
As long as the charger supplies 5 volts it is okay... even a 10 amp charger will work fine (if availiable ).. The current is controlled by the device (nexus 4 in this case).. It will draw how much current it requires.. Voltage on the other hand is decided by the charger.... 12volts will fry the device...
