Car chargers

Does anyone know of a car charger that fits in perfectly in the cig lighter in the car. All Incar chargers I have ever bought never fit in perfectly and with the slightest amount of touch lose power until I push it in again.
I want a nice snug fit just the the cig lighter has with its own lighter thing. I absiolutely hate the give/movement these incar chargers have.
Any ideas?

Hey there, i bought an adapter and just use my usb cable that came with the phone..
Its a tight fit with just a little movement. Never looses the connection, have had no problems

Belkin Micro USB charger
I use it with this http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD2&skuno=82268. The Belkin Micro charger can be bought from much anywhere and it works very well.

car charger
I use Igo chargers, never had problem, just buy new tip when you change phone. Don't have to carry charger for every phone. They have multi charger kit, comes with home,car, &tip, & retractable cord. Love it, they fit snug, with led lite. Quig

i got one of these for 3 bucks on sale. and for the price it friggin rules!!!

I use a dual USB car charger from Griffin Technology known as the powerjolt.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerjolt-dual-universal
No other car charger fits my cigarette lighter slot as well. I think this is quite tight but can still pop out. My high tech solution is to stick a bit of card in there with the cahrger. It works perfectly and doesn't need to be wedged in very far to create a rock solid connection.

Works well, snug fit too.

The leo ´s plastic parts are covered by some kinda smooth coating. I wonder if it takes damage if you use car holders (especially the brodit one - I think I might buy this one). What do you guys say? Has anyone experiences with this?

is 500mA enough to charge the phone + use navigation or play music?

I bought this one at walmart on our way out of town one day to run my HD2 and my daughters iPhone 3G...My HD2 always overheats when I use it (the LED flashes orange and green after about 15-20 minutes) Even if I dont have anything else plugged into it.
Mine may be an isolated issue (though I dont see how)...but I dont know if I would recommend this...as overheating the battery often cannot be good in the long run.

Does this sit flush on the top of the lighter jack?...that would be the perfect solution so I could unplug the cable but leave the adapter in and still be able to close the ashtray (change drawer) lid.
...Have you had any power or overheating issues?...(see my post above)
It looks like the price in your link has gone up to 12.99...but a quick google search gave me a price of 5.99+free shipping

HD7 Desk Docks/Cradles

A couple of Desk Docks popping up around the web recently, anyone got one and can give a brief review?
Cheaper one £9

Extended one (with additional Battery slot) £15

They don't look bad but best to get one that has the micro-usb AND a headphone plug - that way you can attach it to your Hi-Fi, pc etc to pump the sound from!
If not then these ones from Brando look nice:
$18 + $3 P&P
$17 + $3 P&P (various colours available!)
I have always found Brando excellent and have used him for years now - I have just got the reflection free screen protector for my HD7 and it makes it easier to see outside and much smoother to the touch!

yeah good point, i don't think i've spotted one with a headphone socket yet... I wonder if we'll see docking stations with built in speakers anytime soon....

Fingers crossed - always annoys me the iPoo gets docks galore but HTC phones don't even though they have great audio capabilities!

I've bought this one: http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1230
It has well working line-out and it can charge a second battery. It looks and feels great.
BUT my PC does not recognize my HD7 in the cradle. It can be charged via USB but not synced

The description says it charges and syncs. Did you contact the company for a replacement or fix? Maybe you got a bad unit

I had a Kidigi cradle for my touch pro - you have to have the MINI-usb power adapter plugged in AND the MICRO-usb supplied with your phone plugged in to the PC for it to sync.... that way it charges and syncs at same time.

Thanks for the hint. I tried that, but it doesn't work either. Syncing via WLAN works fine.
I wrote to the support of the shop where I bought it, but I haven't got any reply so far.

I just bought one of these.
I had the equivalent for my HD2, and it's really excellent. It's got everything I need - spare battery charging bay, power connector, USB to PC connector, audio connector - the full set. A good price too.

Buyed THIS ONE yesterday.
When it will arrive I'll post my opinions and, hope, some photos.
Bye, Marco.

Wow some of those are quite nice looking.

These both look good.
I was looking at one just the other day. Still not sure which to go with.

Yeah I really like the look of that charger, does someone have a trusted site for the States? I wanna buy one, but I just don't know about some of these sites.
And the sites that do look decent, are always in the UK! What gives?!
Can someone hit me back with a link for State side website that you've personally bought from before, and that the company does exist somewhere.
Thanks yall!

Do any of these docks/cradles work with a case on?
I have the PixelSkin case for my HD7. Will my phone with the case on fit in any of these docks/cradles?

Good Day,
I presently own both the hd2 and hd7, and am not able to dock either phone while in their cases...Due to the chargers fitting so well as to promote
stability while charging. (Of course it may depend on which cradle you own/purchase.) I have 2 different style cradles, and both give the same results.
I hope this helps.

Good Day,
I have purchased 2 different style cradles...1 from mygadgetgarage (hd2/hd7) (ebay) and the other from talkietech (hd2) (also ebay). Both sites treated me excellent. Fast shipping/Great prices.

i just bought a slip in real leather case by HTC. Good thing is you can just pull up your phone without using fingers to squeeze through the side when you need to pull out the phone.

Magnetic charger from other Xperia devices?

Hi,
I recently bought a magnetic charger on eBay, and it said it was for 'Xperia devices', but it didnt connect properly with my Z2 Tablet. Do people know whether the tablet has a different connection to the other xperia devices? And if so, is there a magnetic charger for the tablet that I can buy? I'm just not able to afford the dock.
Thanks for your thoughts.

This one actually works well.

I second jismail's recommendation. It works pretty well, though the magnet is not super strong and might cause a loss of charging connection if you move the tablet around.

Got it and agree it works, but, at least to me, it seems really pricey. Not compared to a dock, but ounce for ounce, it must be about the price of gold.

To those of you who bought the magnector from amazon, has anyone got this message? I bought the full cable version and I'm using the wall adapter from Sony, but I get this message.

I have to say the magnetic charger is flakey, but I can't determine if it's the magnector or the power source or just the outer drain of the Z2T - probably a combination of all three. To start, the magnector actually pulled the Z2T circuit connection out of its body, so I have to get Sony to look at that (guess my waterproof feature is gone ). It's hard to get good contact and occasionally loses contact when sitting undisturbed. Even my 2.1A charger doesn't provide enough juice to charge unless it's shut down completely. Love the tablet, but charging is problematic.

I have the magnector and have never gotten this message. I agree, though, the charging is slow. Don't know if it's any slower than the conventional way.

I agree that the magnetic coupler is weak, but I've not found it to be flaky. I have to leave my Z2T flat and undisturbed on a surface to ensure that magnector and the tablet stay connected. Sorry to hear about the the magnector pulling out the Z2T circuitry. I'll have to check mine to see if I have this issue.

My connection is pretty strong, I can hold the tablet and it doesn't move. Wondering if I should contact amazon and have it exchanged.

Magneric Charger

HI does any body know by experience of any good and I mean very good magnetic charger that could work with the Z3TC and the Z ultra. some of the magnetic chargers I have own have a weak magnet and it wont stay while i'm using it-it comes off while i'm playing. if you have own a very good one let us know

I am also interested about that. What about the Sony model DK48?

ok it looks good but i'm interested on a cable I already have a cradle. because i'm want it to use it while i'm playing

Magnetic Charger
I got the Magnetic Charger yesterday it is the DK39.
It works as well as you would think.... but 34 euro is a joke for a piece of plastic with no cable included.
A generic version for 10 euro would be just the same.
I think Sony should actually include it with the device as it is designed to use it.

I have an old Z1 mag charger, not the official one. Poor fit. I also have one for a Z3 Compact phone died Z3TC might fit with one of the slimmer adapters, but back of dock not high enough to offer decent support. Not going to cough up for official dock for Z3TC but wondering if this would work (note high back). http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A26BQ5MCC4RYES
I am currently using this mag charging cable which has a decent magnet unlike some of the others: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnector-X...r=1-1&keywords=xperia+magnetic+charging+cable

Today I tried magnectorX that I got previously for me Z3 C and it works great on the Z3TC
I have tried some other brands and magnector X is the highest quality I've tried

I had one when i had my sony z ultra so it should work i hope.

On eBay, they sell the generic Z2 Tablet docks as a Z3TC compatible dock too. Anyone have any experience using the Z2T dock with the Z3TC?

Whilst the magnet is not super strong, it is enough strong enough to deal with small movement of the phone. Never had cause to complain or curse it.

Be careful with pulling it. The glue on the magnetic port is not that strong and it can broke due to the strong magnet of magnector

Review of the CHOETECH Essentials Pack

Hey everyone. I wanted to give a quick review of 3 items that came in a package to me this week from CHOETECH.

- 3Pack USB C to USB 3.0 Nylon Braid cable(1M*2+2M):
- 6 ports QC 3.0 charging station
- Stand fast wireless charger​
*** Just as an FYI. I tested all of these with my S8+. I ordered my Note 8, but like everyone else... Its on the way.
We can start with the Nylon Cable. Quality of it is great. Its actually braided and does work with fast charging. I have noticed there are a few aftermarket USB-C cords that do not support this regardless of the power brick used. I tried this with my Samsung power brick and the CHOETECH Desktop charger.
What I really liked is that this is a thick cord. Everything on this actually feels like quality.
On to the Charging Station... This one makes me happy. At work, my desk has all of my cables hidden for my multiple monitors, docking station and phone line. I do have two desktop plugs but I use one for my extra laptop and the other has to be shared for my 2 tablets and 2 phones. I brought the charging station to work and it did not disappoint.
There are 2 designated ports that allow for 3.0 charging. I have one tablet and one phone that use that. When plugged in at the same time, both said fast charging enabled. Here are the specs on this one.
Even though for some, this may not be a big deal, I actually like the stand. I don't have a place to hide this 6 USB brick, so it still looked presentable. Best part, this came with a USB-C cord. VERY cool.
Finally the Wireless Stand. I didn't get to play with this one as much as I wanted to but it was awesome. I had it on my charger for less that 20 min and had 30% juice from 15% up to 45%.
Even though I was fortunate enough to receive these from CHOETECH, I will always give my honest review on these. You're definitely getting your money's worth on these three items. Now if my Note 8 can arrive, I will update my photos with that phone.
