 The detection logic is done in software, one can bypass it. If the [[USB charger]] used is not signaling the phone its capacity to deliver 500 or 1000 mA, then one may use these scripts to force fast charge mode anyway. Please double check. Trying to draw 1A from an electric system rated lower will lead to overheating and physical damage.

-The behaviour is pretty much the same as described below for the Neo 1973. There's also a 1000 mA mode for the Openmoko-provided wall charger. Please note, that the sys-fs path changed slightly. It is now /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/
