Re: Cab that tricks Phone into thinking its charging via Charger vs USB

Well this is true if you don't have a DC powered USB hub. Most USB ports (especially on laptops) will allow up to 500 mA drain per root. 1A will certainly push the limit of this limit and possibly cause damage to the port. In most desktops, this limit is around 800 mA.

Using a powered hub allows all the current from the DC adapter rather than the USB port while allowing transparent communication with the computer.
