5v, 2a ac adapter. I wonder if it does support charging over usb?

 

[derelicte]

never mind. the user manual says it doesn't. dumb.

 

[derelicte]

there is a very interesting blank socket on the back side of the pcb...

 

[clockworx]

Sorry this is OT, but did anyone ever find Augen FCC docs? Did they have to file? I tried to search but had no idea how to do so.

hold the phone! that usi wifi chip has bt potential!

USB 2.0 provides 100mA up to 500mA per port. i.e. wiki : A host or hub Charging Downstream Port can supply a maximum of 1.5 A when communicating at low-bandwidth or full-bandwidth, a maximum of 900 mA when communicating at high-bandwidth, and as much current as the connector will safely handle when no communication is taking place; USB 2.0 standard-A connectors are rated at 1500 mA by default. A Dedicated Charging Port can supply a maximum of 1.8 A of current at 5.25 V. A portable device can draw up to 1.8 A from a Dedicated Charging Port. The Dedicated Charging Port shorts the D+ and D- pins with a resistance of at most 200Ω. So unless your computer has a labelled dedicated charging port, the PDN draws more power. With the provided charger they list full discharge to charge as 5 hours. Thats a fair bit of juice.

Augh! You gotta give us more info than that :-D

I believe it works on a pretty wide range of hardware, though.ASUS Ai Charger - Quick charge your iPod, iPhone and even iPad!

they could have charged it at .5a. or they could have variable charge rates ala apple.

Is this the same set I've been looking at, and posting, since June?

Crap, I had to go back and look at the pics again. This one is soldered on, right?

[lawman]

Waaaaaay back in June I was using what I think is this same link to show people the user manual (since updated). The battery size is clearly off, and this appears to be the spec for the black, not the white. I had the white, if I recall, but haven't been able to find that link since.

 

[manishgour]

I was checking the fcc url and in that the internal photos section. It has a pdf file, in that page A1-12. It shows the chip as WM-8350G. Search on the internet shows Power Management | WM8350 | Wolfson MicroelectronicsAccording to this page it says that the chip contains audio subsystem and supports microphone. Am I looking at correct WM-8350? If yes then why there is no microphone in PDN?

 

[derelicte]

2 reasons:1. cost2. this is supposed to be an ereader, not a phone.

 

[manishgour]

Alright.. But can it be modified to have a microphone

 

[Mike]

If the chip supports it, there's no reason why not. Android has support for audio input by default (being a phone OS it would be a bit silly if it didn't).
