So i've made a charger using a 4 cell AA pack. Previously, I successfully charged my phone doing so with my Samsung SGH-F480, I was proud. Now that I have the Omnia HD, this means new data cable.
So, I strip the wires leaving white and red on the data cable, red as positive and white as negative (I think) I test it out plugging it into the computer ONLY using white and red, leaving blue and green out. It charges. When I put it to my battery pack which would be 6V, it has no effect. If I how ever put the wires the opposite way, the phone dies (yes I know I shouldn't do this).
How is this so? It works with the SGH-F480 but not with the Omnia HD?

Ok I just tried it using my SGH-F480 and it charge (but it says 'insert memory card' but still, charging.
Why is my Omnia HD not charging but is using computer?
