My Diamond and TP both would charge from this four port POWERED USB HUB that I have. The hub puts out 1A of current (even though it is shared, it is able to put out an amp at an individual port).

My TP2 will only charge from this hub when the computer that the hub is attached to is powered on. This is very annoying. I have several gadgets that I charge off and on from this USB hub and I would like to avoid having tons of power supplies plugged in.

If I turn the computer on, the phone will charge. If the computer is off but the hub is still on all the time the TP2 won't charge.

Does anyone know of a way around this? Is there a registry hack/setting that would allow the phone to charge from a USB hub without the computer being on? I have tried a couple different 1% battery drivers. They don't seem to affect it. I've tried it without those drivers installed too. I have not tried the USB Fast Charge update yet, would like some feedback if anyone else has run into a similar problem.

I believe this problem is similar to charging your phone while your computer is in standby. My laptop puts out a lot of current at the USB ports, even in standby. I was able to fully charge my TP and Diamond phones from my laptop even when the system is in standby. I don't think I can charge the TP2 while the laptop is in standby.
