USB car charger. Any hints ? - HD2 Accessories

I'm looking for USB car charger for HD2 (US T-Mobile HD2) ... the one which has USB port in it where you put another USB cable. Here is what I'm looking for.

Here is the problem ... I have one car charger like 1. And it says 5V 1000mA, but it DOES NOT charge my HD2 ! LED light on charger is green, LED light on HD2 is red, HD2 "Settings->Power" says "Charging", but it does not ! I use USB cable which came with HD2 from T-Mobile. I'm able to charge from USB WALL charger with this cable fine. I also tried different USB cable - it works with WALL charger and does not work with car charger
My question is ... USB car charger for HD2 ... what specs it has to have ?
What am I doing wrong here ?

Just a guess but there is a setting which stops the phone charging when connected to a pc via usb. Maybe it thinks its connected to a pc?
Goto settings --> about phone --> battery
and make sure "when phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a pc" is unchecked.
If that doesnt help my second guess would be that the usb charger is dead.
Just search for "car usb adapter" on ebay, loads come up.
According to spoon charge (download from these forums) my hd2 uses a max of 900mA when charging, so 1000mA should be fine.
Hope that helps.

yeh I got one and it's fine.
I got a spare too so if u ever need one ...

Do use a USB car charger with higher current capacity (say 2000mah). avoid cheap (chines) chargers, boasting high current capabilities.

I ordered the HTC C200 because messing with the battery just because I could save a few bucks is not worth it IMHO. I cost me like 15 Euros and if anything happens to my battery I can blame HTC themselves.
btw the C200 is like the one in the first picture!

that's the original HTC C200 I'm talking about, and regarding those cheap chargers you can order from china or somewhere can damage your precious phone, it's not that pricey!

Car Charger Mod
If anyone is still wondering why their aftermarket car charger doesn't charge their HD2 properly, the two centre points on the USB socket need to be soldered together.
I found the information on post 16 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670702&page=2

Now that I've been using this charger on my HD2 for a couple of days now, I thought I'd give an update - not all USB leads will charge your phone when it's running under load.
I tried a Nokia lead and while it charged the HD2 with bluetooth running, as soon as I started the GPS (tomtom) as well, the battery started to discharge.
Then I tried a Sony Ericsson mini USB lead (supplied with my X1) with a mini-USB to micro-USB converter lead from ebay, and my original HD2 lead. These charged the battery with bluetooth and GPS running together.
The Sony Ericsson X1 mini-USB lead is much thicker than the HD2 and Nokia leads.

spec me a car charger!

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before, but i couldnt find anything! I'm basically looking for a car charger to charge my HD2 in the car. I've looked on ebay but they all seem rather cheap? are these ok to use?
Anything with a micro USB plug would do, as long as it has 1000mA output. Motorola has one that will work well with HD2.
Alternatively, you could buy a DC to USB adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and then use a micro USB cable to connect your phone. Again, make sure the adapter is rated 1000mA. My advice, stay away from cheap ebay stuff when purchasing power supplies. Not worth risking your phone's battery or worst just to save a few dollars imho.
Example of a result of using cheap chargers in the car ...

Could i just buy one of these and use the usb to micro usb cable that came with the hd2?

i just ordered one of these 2 amp ones from amazon uk.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/ULTIMATEADDONS-AMP-Car-Charger-Smartphone/dp/B002WT0XP4
A bit dramatic aren't we...
If you want one which should be reliable:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-cc-c200-micro-usb-car-charger-p22081.htm
I would stay away from the cheap ones too. Not because of risks to phone or car (in practice both should be fine), just because they probably wont last as long.
Belkin are a big brand and should be fine (although I have had a belkin mains adapter fail with my touch pro). Yes, It would work with your htc micro usb cable (thats why they put a usb socket on!).
I like that idea, perfect for the car, or when traveling in rentals or other peoples cars.

That is exactly the one I am using! Loving the tiny size, too
Get one now!
Free Man, the BalckBerry charger should work well, too.
Correct me if I am wrong but when you charge the phone via the computer's USB port, as far as i know, the max output you can take is 500mAh. So I guess it is fine even with 500mAh car chargers..
Well, yes it is OK to charge with 500mA, but then how much time have you got? I have tested a few chargers rated 500 mA and got the message that it needs more juice while shooting a video in the car... I guess if time is not an issue and the phone just sits there idle, a 500mA charger will be OK. However, if you use it for navigation it will struggle to keep topping up your battery.
motorola p513
it is ok this car charger? i found that it is an 5V @ 850 mA. If it is not enough i will cancel the order.
Go with a 1A (1000Ma) Output. That is what the original charger is. I used a Blackberry charger at .5A and it would take 24H to charge a dead battery while the phone is turned on.
For those of us going from a Nokia small pin to HD2 with Nokia car chargers already, this looks good. Jumper
there is a kensington car charger that is nice and small too, with a tapered end which is more likely to fit compared to the square end belkin version (see amazon reviews), but the charge output is only 700mA not a 1000mA. See here

Do not use these kind of chargers (Kill battery)

Hi!
Bought this charger ages ago, started charging my batteries nowadays, and they got broken.
I might have left them on too long, not sure. After charging them a couple of times they gave false temperature/drain data to the phone.
For example:
With fully charged battery, phone displayed random % details like 1%, or 40%, etc.
With fully chardged battery flash in winmo didn't want to turn on, coz battery was low the phone thought
some Android roms failed to boot with the broken batteries. They were fine with a new one.
Sometimes they work ok.
With 15%, plugged in the original charger for 1 sec, after disconnect battery seemed to be on 100% for a couple of minutes and started counting down pretty fast, like a couple of % a minute
I "lost" an original default battery and an original htc extended battery :-(
So here is something to avoid. Got it from China.

thanks for the advice, I was just about to buy one
Was using them in my HTC Legend for a while, didn't notice any side effects.
Haven't got one for the HD2 yet.
The problem affected 2 htc batteries, shortly after I started using the charger. Maybe it is only me who has a defective charger. Maybe I left them on the charger too long (max12hours), but that shouldn't be a problem.To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time I had problems with cheap accessories from China in the last couple of years.
The quality of these products are often appalling.
Had a similar charger for my xperia x1, had no problems though...
I think its just only you with a defective charger, i have used this kind of charger for all my 4 batteris for about 6 months now and there is nothing wrong with it. Buy a new charger The charger stops charging the battery when the led turns blue so it works fine here
and it charges fully batteri for about 1-2 hours , it takes loonger with charging via phone
i've been using this type of charger for a while
(on both a stock battery & the replacement it came with).
i haven't had any issues with it to date
That thing looks like one of those cheap ass Chinese chargers that will break anything it's connected to. I know from experience - I had an external Molex (HDD) connector that caught fire while plugged in - NEVER again. That thing probably has NO overcharge control.

yes it has
Most likely the OP got a bad one
I have been using various Chinese chargers for the past several years (with various phones). I just finished charging my spare with one of them. They do have overvoltage circuits, and they would not sell ones that don't - they want to sell more of them, and having them catch fire or explode is not good business.
But quality control can have one slip through sometimes, and of course there is little recourse when this happens - the company is in China!
EDIT: I should also point out that there are no options. I don't think there are US, Japanese, or TW made models, though I haven't made a detailed search.
EDIT EDIT: Except for the boxwave charger, which has both a desktop holder and a spare battery charger. But even then I don't know where boxwave has them made - probably China...

i'm using this now and so far no problems at all. i think there's a problem with your charger.
The charger eventually died. No lights or anything.
Thanks for the advice
I've just bought one of these chargers from e bay.it was from a UK seller . And I also got 2 batteries ,
Will let you know what happens
I got two (probably just a defective batch) and for some reason they discharged my batteries rather than charging them. I just thought that was kinda odd. If anyone else has any recommendations for an alternative external charger I'm all ears as my previous HD2's usb port broke off from wear and I'd like to prevent that from happening again.
I have the same charger and i have used it for over a yeah and i still get 1 day of full battery use like always
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Those of you with working chargers, where'd you get them from?
I bought the same type: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250796662523 (beware that these have US power socket)
The charger and one of the two batteries are working pretty well here. The other battery was discharged very fast. I think the charger stops charging before it's full. Anyway, for that price it doesn't really matter.
I've been using an identical one for over a year and haven't had any problems. Sounds like you got a defective unit.
There are disadvantages I've noticed though - they only charge to 99% (according to phone stats) and, unless I'm imagining it, the battery drains faster from 99-15% and then slowly 'til it gets down to 1% compared to a regular mains charge.
Also the USB output trickle-charges and takes forever to fully charge the battery in the phone. Only good for overnight.
I've got 3 batteries - 2 stock HTC's and one cheap Chinese one as I often find myself in situations where I'm going to need to use the phone for more than a few hours of heavy use - so a charger like this is worth it for me!
Same problems
Same charger from ebay. Killed about 5 batteries (had 5 total in rotation and didn't narrow it down to the charger until now....)
STAY AWAY!
Thanks for sharing your important things. if you did not share with me about this then i will buy this type charger. no no. :silly: i want to use USB charger.. if anyone reply me ? is it good for me ?

It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.
No ones willing to give this a try? Lol
It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.
comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.
I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

Take your USB cable, plug it into the adapter, take the adapter plug it into the cigarette lighter of your car and magically you have a car charger. Amazing how that works huh?

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.
Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

[PROBLEM] Extremely slow charging.

Hello.
I dont know why but the last 3 days my phone charges extremely slow.
I dont know if its the hardware of the software.
I did not make a major change in the phone or something.I dont know why it charges so slow.
Charging rate is : 1% in 4 and a half minutes....
I cant figure out why.
I was in a trip and i got the charger with me (The output was rated 220 volts so no problem with the charger)
BUT the cable may be damaged.
Softwarewise i have no idea what i did to affect the charging .
It may be a bug or a calibration issue.Because sometimes for example it climbs from 29 or 28 % to 30
Please tell me what you think thank you.
try experimenting with different cables and adapters to determine of the problem is the phone or the charger

I know but Sony's is designed thick so it handles the 850mah that's a pretty big load and when i used another cheapo cable out of ebay it charged bery slow.(I ordered the same cheapo because it broke and it was pretty nice to have a 2m cable)
If there is a lesson to be learnt: other than casing or screen protectors (non-electronics components of the device), I don't buy [cheap] electronics stuff off ebay - one usually gets what one pays for.
I got a 3-pin plug with USB connector labelled at 5V to charge my radio (good thing I did not use it for a device) a few months ago off ebay - my radio was fried

Not the cable but the 3 pin plugs which connects (USB) to micro-usb on the radio. The cable is the same one which I charge by plugging into the computer.
Same principle as our phone - charge by plugging into the computer or use the same cable connected to a 2 or 3 pins which is then plug into AC.
These pin plugs needs to charge at 5V (as computer). The one I bought was advertised as 5V but obviously it was not.
I then bought another radio and found an old phone AC charger - works faultlessly.

The cable has nothing to do with the voltage :/ the transformer outputs the voltage and current needed to charge the device so you might your radio fried by a crappy transformer.

Underclocking would be a good idea but airplane mode wont benifit me since ill lose incoming call.As for the charging issue it was solved by getting Greenify to kill certain apps that used so much juice that would not let the phone to charge

Powermod Quick Charge 2.0 Certified D/C In-Vehicle Car USB Charger
Both chargers are as fast as advertised over my stock HTC A/C charger that came with the phone and my Rockfish car charger I've been using since my HTC Vivid days.
They both came in nice retail packaging and the Powermod car charger comes with a nice (but short) USB cable. The Tenergy wall charger has an LED on it and it is blue when an non QC 2.0 device is plugged in and turns green when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in. Unfortunately the car charger doesn't have this feature. It has a blue light that rings the device but only indicates that it has power. It doesn't change color when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in.
I have found that both of these chargers will not charge my Asus Transformer TF201. I find this strange because I've used other USB style wall chargers with my Asus data cable (the transformer has a proprietary changing port connector) that worked just fine. Still doing research on that one but I'll not be using these to charge my tablet. I just wanted to point this out as some of these QC manufactures say they are backwards compatible with most devices. YMMV.
I've been using both for about 3 weeks and am very happy with the performance of both units.
Below is data from a series of comparison tests to show how much faster the Qualcomm QC 2.0 chargers are over stock type chargers. The data in the HTC vs. Tenergy charger is an average of 4 charges per device. The HTC vs. Tenergy temperature comparison chart is through one full charge cycle from below 20% to 100%. As you can see the QC 2.0 does charge at a higher temperature. I also took the temperature while charging on QC 2.0 with my DotView case on and at 50% the temperature on the back of the case was 91.4 F. I have taken my phone temperature after heavy gaming and the back has actually gotten hotter just playing games than at any time during the charging cycle with QC2.0. I used a IR handheld thermogun we use at work.
The Powermod and Rockfish data is from my commute to and from work that is on average 30 minutes. There are 4 charge cycles for each devise over a 30 minute period.
Conclusion:
The performance of both units is great compared to stock. Since I can already get a full day worth of battery with between 15 and 20% left after a typical day both these chargers just make life easier. If you have to go somewhere but still have 30 minutes before you leave you can "top off" your battery before leaving if you are low. Example, you realize you have less than 10% battery but have some time before you have to leave. Plug you QC 2.0 charger in and get to at least 50% in that time. I feel much better walking out the door with 50% than 10%. With the car charger you can keep your battery "topped off" between destinations. Time will tell on the longevity of the phone battery and the chargers themselves.
I hope you've found this helpful.
I recommend both of these units.:good:
Images do not work here...
OP,
Some links would be nice. I rarely ever have any issues with running out of power like you have stated. I usually charge while i'm at my desk at work all day, and when I sleep at night, and I never have had an issue with an empty battery. I'm sure some people do have trouble with that; like those who spend all day on the phone, but I'd like to see which products you are talking about, OP.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure this and this is what OP has in mind, but I could be wrong.
Actually I'm not sure why my pictures are not showing up. I have my pictures set to public. I'll move them and try another location as soon as I get to work.
I see the pictures.........anyone else see them?
Pictures are working now. And holy cow..that's some impressive work Thanks for taking the time to test it all!
Thanks for the input.
I have the Tenergy wall charger and I have been pleased with the results. I will probably buy the same car charger you have next.
Glad everyone seeing the data now. I put this together because of all the questions on QC 2.0 that past few months.
BTW - I do crap like this all the time at work so it really wasn't that much work other than gathering the data. The charts etc took less than an hour to create after I had all the data I wanted.
Cheers mate!
Great data indeed

Interesting! Thank you for sharing the links!
Thanks for your input M8!
Nice review,thanks!
I bought the car charger and it is not turning green when I plug my phone into it. Do I need to do something different?

The car charger doesn't indicate if it's charging at QC 2.0 specs. Only the wall charger does that. The only way you can tell that the car charger is doing it's QC 2.0 is by the battery level or using an inline USB current meter that will show the charge rate.
Sorry for the confusion, I'll update my review.
