An Alternative to using the Docking Station to Charge

[steryan]

For those not in the know you can use a Micro USB Cable Charger Lead Sync for Smartphones, Android, Tablets, etc. to charge your handheld, so those who do want it portable it truly is now, no need to take the Docking Station everywhere with you. 

I am not suggesting you do this but it does work, and I've not damaged my system thus far, see below:

I did a video on something similar = )

If you want to turn off the LCD while your charging (that backlight stays on 24/7) plug a pair headphones into the top AV out jack (this tricks the NGX into AV out mode and turns off the LCD).

The battery icon does not come on for me on the jailbreak firmware. Did they remove this. Just stays on the on games menu

The same here,but if you don´t press a button or anything then comes the battery icon after a long while

IN that video, he mentioned that it says to only use the supplied AC adapter.....well, thats true about ANY electronic device..they want you to use the adapter that it came with....or replace it with the same adapter if you needed to.....pretty much anything with that USB connector will work, I would imagine....some devices (such as tablets) won't charge via USB ports on computers, and i'm sure it has more to do with the OS than the hardware, but other devices (such as PS3 controllers, Wii U controller with the Nyko USB charger, phones, etc...) will charge via USB.....I have a portable battery pack with two USB ports...use it like an AC adapter at home but if I need emergency power, it works great, I can get a full phone charge out of it...its like 1800Mah so it would ALMOST charge the NGX if you turn the screen off (NGX is 2200Mah)
