USB Hub from Jeda and Taptes

[SEndicott]

The promises that they'll be shipping soon are comical at this point.

I follow a game that is currently in the Alpha development state. It has been in Alpha for over six years so far. Granted it is a very ambitious project, but one of the jokes surrounding it is that the word "soon" is trademarked by them. So everytime someone says "Soon" in a post, they also apply the TM symbol behind it.

I am beginning to put Jeda in that same category. I am convinced that I'll get my MY Hub Soon (TM). I ordered mine in April.

I received an email from Taptes yesterday saying that my hub was shipping. At least, as of now, a label has been created. Who knows how long the shipping will be from China? Movement though.

Either dysfunctional, incompetent or outright fraudulent - I ordered a hub for my MY back in June and prepaid - despite several email reminders nothing but unkept promises to ship in first week of September. Totally radio silent on my last reminder. At this point I don't think I will receive the hub and consider the prepayment lost. I will file a case with BBB - just stay away from these guys.

Well, my Taptes Hub has been tracked to JFK yesterday so hopefully in the next week or so if it is released by custom.

My Taptes hub is in country, though I know not where. Trying to clear customs. Some day soon I suspect.

update, it’s in NY. Nice.

Got my Taptes USB hub today. The casing is slightly too large making it a tough squeeze on the sides, and the USB pins that attach to the car's USB-C and USB-A ports do not appear to be perfectly aligned. I gave up trying to install it into the car after struggling for quite a while.

I found it a little too snug and the port locations the tiniest bit off also. So I kept maneuvering and adjusting, until the usp port finally went in and the usb-c followed. It was a challenge, but worth the effort. Just keep trying. If you have a dremel, gently sanding the sides a tiny bit would probably make it much simpler, but it is that friction that holds it in place. Good luck.

With my note 8, I only found the usb c used for the stock charging pad is fast charging. The other usb c and usb a were regular speed.

Is one of the ports direct pass through to usb c?

Not sure. How do I check?

 

[srk67]

Not sure. How do I check?

No idea? Basically do you only get the full usb c power on one of the usb c ports?

Just got the taptes one today. Only took a minute to install. It’s tight for sure but I guess that makes sense to reduce chances of rattling or coming loose. Everything worked perfectly.

Appears that way. Only the usb C port for the charging pad showed fast charge.

Just installed Taptes. Fitment is tight! took me about 3 mins mostly taking time to lining up the ports. Works great, I like!

Well that was a pain in the ass to install but I really like it now that the Taptes is installed. Going to cancel my Jeda tired of waiting for them.
