    Thanks, man!

    Will this also work with all MSI notebooks? Also, will it work with other brands similar to ASUS AI Charger?

    Too bad they can't make it work with devices other than the iPad. Phones need this, too, especially higher end ones.

    What do you mean? It was built specifficaly for ipad since those need more current than the rest. Phones you can mostly just plug in and charge :-??

    well, my galaxy nexus needs 1amp to charge it over 2 hours only (from 10%-100%). and i think the iphone(4 and 4s?) too. because the stock chargers charge at 1amp. default usb charges only 0.5amp which will take 3+ hours till fully charged. not needed but definitely more convenient. :)

    for everyone having trouble with icharger app, remember u have to enable the icharger function from the bios in order for it to work. that may be a reason why it doesnt work for some

    Does it work for you? Maybe things have changed but back then I did enable that option to allow icharger on s3 s5 states but it was still the same.

    yeah it works for me but i did this order of instalation. first disable icharger from bios, then boot and install aplication, the shut down and reenable function from bios, then boot again and it worked for me.

    Exactly. And forget about actually doing something on your phone while it's trying to charge. That just won't happen.

    The i-charger enabler from the bios, enables the laptop or a desktop pc to charge an iphone or ipad even in sleep mode through the usb3 port :) I use my laptop for charging my ipad 2 :) (laptop: MSI GT70 ONE)
