Motorola Q?

Post by jngnyc »

Hi all,

Stumbled on this board just today, wondering if anybody had any information about building a Mintyboost for a phone that requires drivers to charge?

I have a motorola q... ANY info would be greatly appreciated, even simple info!

Not looking for any answers here, just info to point me in the right direction, doesn't even have to be about the Q.

Pointers on charging smart phones? charging via the mini b male usb connector?

Thanks everyone!

So after a bit of digging around... i found this

http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-A-N/ra ... nout.shtml

it seems to require a driver as well if charging via a usb cable to the computer...

The note on that page suggests that I can bypass that by shorting the pins on the connector to force it to think it's in a car charger mode (thus not needing a driver).


Thoughts? Comments?
