Has anyone tried plugging the POGO into a USB on their computer and using it for data transmission and not just power?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Magnectic Pogo Cable ? MagNector

Sent from my Nexus 10 using Android Central Forums

I'm hesitant to buy the Pogo cable through this website, because the webite's not secure.

Finally received the cable that I ordered on December 25. A late Christmas present? It comes as a registered letter so yo have to sign for it in person.

It works great with the Poetic hard back case which has a cut out at the pogo connector.

I can't comment on charging speed. I bought it to save on wear on the USB connector and because it disconnects easily if the charging cord is accidental pulled or has side force applied.

Thinking of purchasing this...what other advantages is there other than a faster charge?

It is NOT, I repeat, NOT going to charge any faster using the 3rd party POGO adapter people are buying.It is just a different way of connecting your existing charger, its only a plug. Unless and until we get the actual POGO charger shown in this original post (i.e. one that uses the other pins to charge at a higher current / voltage), the 2 amp charger your Nexus 10 came with is the best you can do.

If for some reason you want to connect your existing charger using the POGO pins, by all means buy the 3rd party adapter, but if you're looking for a faster charge, save your money!

So this is what your testing has shown? I would be interested in seeing your numbers to compare against others.

You can purchase there using PayPal to help with your security concerns.

I ordered this because I wanted a secondary location for charging my N10. I did not realize that it was just the cable and did not include the power brick. Boy, do I feel stupid. :-[
What do I look for in getting a power brick to plug this in to? Any recommendations?

 

[anonuk]

That's because it isn't a charger, just a plug that you use with the charger the N10 came with. It might be more durable than the micro usb connector though...

Eh? I've never had a USB socket fail in all my years. What a waste of money.

I have news for you it is charge faster !
I have the cable . I have tested.

And what real pogo cable are you talking about ? And why don't you just wait for that your self!,

If you took the time to actually read my post instead of just firing off a wise a$$ answer you would notice the word "secondary" as in
"to have a second charging station". Since my device only came with one power brick your reply is less than helpful.

But hey, thanks for the effort.

Mine shipped on January 7th and still hasn't arrived. When I look at tracking it indicates the United Kingdom as destination country, but I live in the United States. Not expecting it anytime soon.
