I have been monitoring the charging amp for the powerbank via Samsung Note 2 2amp charger.

It seems although the pb can receive 2amp input, my chargers only goes on average 5.0x voltage with 0.66~0.69 amp instead.

The PB is cold throughout and it took almost 8.5 hours to full charge a 10.4k pb (manual listed 5.5 hours for 2amp, 10 hours for 1amp).

I'm trying to ramp up the charging amp....then one of my charger did ramp up over 0.7 to 0.8 amp. Charging is noticeable faster (2 pb charge at same time) but the battery is also warmer while the other 0.6++ amp charging battery is cold. So I guess in order to preserve battery life, I can live with lower amp charge.

Still wondering why both my Note 2 2amp charger cannot reach even 1 amp here (S4 and MI3 can reach over 1amp from the same charger).

Its because the charger is stupid.

There's a fix for stupid charger.

Get a cable that D+ and D- is shorted.

They called it DUMB charger cable using DUMB USB Spec.

You can try your nearest Low Yat Plaza.

Or you just modify yourself. Remove the D+/D- and short it using resistor.

If you guys are worried, try get a USB cable which supports 2A & with built in fuses.

The "fuse" is similar to the one at your laptop cableĀ  laugh.gif

We're talking about high charging current. Fuse is for protection for over current. So its not really helping.
2A cable must also be shorted in D+ and D-. 2A cable will supply 0.5A only if charger is stupid.

I already got Piston 2.1. Found it VERY GOOD when used with MI3 with its customized Piston audio setting.

However when used in S4, its sounds hollow although both the bass and clarity is quite balanced. My 2 sony iem that cost RM199 still sounds better at other phones other than MI3.

So IMO, don't expect Piston 2 to perform miracle. It is no better than mid end IEM but becoz of its price with its "good" audio, its being hailed as excellent iem (more like value for money).

Then you should customize your setting in S4.

corning glass scratch proof, can use without screen protector without worries, at least that's what im doing biggrin.gif

No proof its corning. But still scratch resistant I supposed. But since Xiaomi selling screen protector, better install 1 on ur screen.

hi sifus,

ive recently bought 10400mah powerbank from a guy.
but the writing at the back of the unit stated "mi.com" instead of "xiaomi.com".
how do i know whether it is original or not?

it came with the standard paperbox but what if it was swapped with a fake one?

thanks.

Buy from a guy = fake
Buy from mi = ori
