Re: Powered USB Hub Charge Problem
The issue is probably this, and I just learned it after midnight today, believe it or not. I was finally reading the pdf manual on my new Toshiba laptop, and discovered that this laptop could charge my phone while in Sleep mode, IF IT WAS HOOKED up to the USB port with the "lightning" symbol next to the USB symbol (I'm sure everyone else already knew that).
BUT it also said that if there was too much drain, and the threshold is LESS than it is when the computer is ON, then it will not work. It mentioned that some devices take too much power to work in the Sleep mode, but charge fine when the computer is on.
I tested my Toshiba, and the TP2 DID charge on that USB port when the computer was in Sleep. However, the combined drain from your TP2 AND the HUB may exceed the limit, and hence you get no charge.
Could that be the issue? Becuase the hub must create a little overhead amperage draw...........
