• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

USB charger flickering

Recently installed a new charger port and when iPhone is plugged in it goes on and off of charge over and over.. the connections are good and the charge cord is good? The light that’s reads the battery level is solid all the time so shouldn’t that flicker too?
 
Have you tried charging another cellphone? It seems to me that the USB port is not providing enough amperage. DC-DC converters can have these kinds of problems if they are not of decent quality.
 
well thats a bummer. There's only 3 components in the mix. Not to hard. Pin 1 and 5 should show 5 volts. Pin 5 being the active.
Things to check are polarity to the USB, Dodgy/cheap 12 to 5 volts DC conversion. Rated at 2 amps max although the iphone will still charge at 500mA.
And some non genuine lightning cables throw errors, displayed on the phone itself.
Without pics makes it hard
