Removing the battery just proves that the current limiter is working properly on your computer (or the internal sense circuit detects a real USB port and throttles the power to prevent USB port shut down).
Try your test with a 1A+ charger, |
um, i tried it with a 2A charger, so there was no issue of current limiting as far as the charger was concerned. and with the phone having no SIM card (ergo no cell data) and the screen on 25%, it was by no means a power hog, not even close.

you said ALL devices behave like that, and i proved you wrong, and now you're arguing that since your specific devices worked like that then ALL devices on the planet work like that?
it's cool - you made a blanket comment that was incorrect. accept it and carry on
