I've also seen posts here where someone made an adapter he could put between the charger (cable) and device.

Personally I'd just prefer it if they rewrote the the firmware to assume standard USB current if connected to a charger that cannot negotiate, but that might be in violation with the new microUSB charger standards. Since that's not going to happen, I'd look through eBay for a special microUSB charger cable that is specified like the previous post suggests.
