Hi - I purchased this and it causes the vbus_wakelock on all my Samsung phones when used to charge them. Is there a mod to fix this? Further on this - this problem is caused by not following the USB standard to make it compatible with Apple products, which require a non-standard USB pinout, I have found. Chargers which meet the USB standard do not cause the problem in Samsung and other android phones (but do not work with Apple products), Hi - I purchased this and it causes the vbus_wakelock on all my Samsung phones when used to charge them.

Sorry, not familiar with that problem. Don't know if this would help or not, but I found this** http://irclog.netripper.com/htc-linux/2010/2/18/ **which speaks to a "vbus-wakelock" at 00:16 but it is re: an HTC and not a Samsung.

If you read description this charger will not charge devices with charging current higher than 500mA.

Yes and mine workED perfectly. Emphasis on the ED. It just stopped working. I don't know why and both the company and Apple were kind of mum on how to get it back to work. I'd personally go with another brand.

I have seen several posts like this. I bought this as well and my first one didnt work. They sent me another one and it worked fine. Even now I sometimes have to plug and unplug a couple times before my macbook air recognizes it. I just think they are cheap and faulty. Either have them send you a replacement (they didnt want the other one returned) or try another product and send back for a refund.

Just received this unit the other day. Tried to use the ports (one at a time) for charging, both worked fine. I asked coz I saw the picture on 1 of the reviews, the location of the charging port at the mount can be a problem at some position/angle but since there are 2 port options for charging there should be no more issue BUT the drawback would be using a different cable (w/o the FM transmitter) rendering Traffic info feature disabled. For me it's fine to disable that feature coz like many others, I find those pop up advertisements annoying, haven't proven this feature's accuracy though.

We have never had a problem with this. Maybe try to unplug and re start? We only use it on our iPhone 4 and it seems to work well. Sorry.

I'm sorry, but I have never had that problem using this device and can't imagine what would cause that to happen. Works perfectly for me every time.

I'm not sure about the galaxy issue, I'm using an htc m9 and it's working fine. Regarding the light blinking, if the charger is conected to your phone and it's blinking it means that the charger's battery is drained, however if it's blinking while connected to a charger it means its charging. While charging a drained portable charger, the first led is going to blink until 25% of the battery is charged after that the led will remain on and the second led will blink, when it's 100% charged the 4 leds will remain let without blinking.

I've tried charging mine with normal microUSB because I thought I'd gotten a bad AC adapter and the normal microUSB's won't register as charging and didn't seem to raise the power at all. Luckily for me, it turned out the AC adapter just has an odd proprietary plug that needed to be pushed slightly harder to click into place the first time, so I'm able to charge, but yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to realize that it can't charge off of the same USB stuff all my other electronics use.

I have a BlackBerry which has the same connector but it doesn't seem like the charge is taking. In fact, when I do use this charger, the screen goes to a blank "Garmin" page and doesn't change until I disconnect it. It would have been awesome if we didn't have to buy ANOTHER charger, wouldn't it?

Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues. The only problem I've faced is that the battery seems to last a lot less now (understandable, given the fact that the cellphone is a little old now) Did you try using another charger, cable or even a computer? If so, and the problem persists, it could be: 1. the battery or 2. the actual port of the phone. For #1 I've seen some batteries not that expensive in Amazon, but again, if the problem is #2 you may want to look for a technician or start searching for another phone.These things are sturdy, but unfortunately, nothing nowadays is designed to last more than 2-3 years. I'm sorry if I can't be more helpful.Bye. Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues.

i am sorry. i meant if you use all ports the time to charge will "increase". it will require more time to charge. the charging is slow.

Belkin's charger appears to be not officially approved (certified) by Apple which allows for the low price (Apple charges a license fee for every device). Which means that any new update may disable it.

I have no problem with mine you have to use the USB out on the charger to the power connection on your device. If that's right try plugging it in and rebooting your device eith it attached Please let me know if that was a help or not. And if not I would say you have a defective jackery bar and exchange it

Sounds like a bad cable connection to me. Does it happen with other iPhones as well? What happens when you connect a lap top or other device? Could potentially be a ground issue as well but less likely .

Because this charger is compatible with Apple. To do so, they cannot follow the USB charging standard. So, if you have a phone that does, like any android phone, you have to have a special charge-only cable. I really wish that there were at least one high power charger available that did follow the standard.

I'm pretty sure Zotac is working on a revision to this board. There was a problem with the wake-on USB function on the original shipment. I'm sure most vendors are holding off until Zotac gets this fixed (or likely Zotac isn't shipping anymore until they fix it).
