    Your Mainboard and device are simply working USB compliant. USB 2.0 devices are allowed to draw a maximum of 0.5 A. For more power you need an USB 3 device (0.9 A) or even better one that supports USB-PD.

  • @Robert Yes. Yet I would consider the offical wall charger USB compliant aswell and it can deliver up to 2 Amps. This is why I am asking if there is maybe a way using a special cable or USB hub.

    Is don't thing the wall charger will help you as usually devices detect that they are connected to a charger by the not connected data cables. Only then the 0.5A restriction is ignored. So you can't have both, USB data connection and increased current at the same time.

  • If this is true then there is no solution to my problem, right? And what about the "USB Y Cables" that are beeing sold. Are those just snake oil?

    If it would ignore the standard then you would not have a problem. Especially in combination with the self-powered USB hub would have solved your problem if it would ignore the USB standard.
