I know some of you are EE experts out there. I had two TILTs. I enjoy charging my first TILT with Motorola 5V 0.5A charger because I can also use that charger for my bluetooth headset as well as blackberrys; very convenient. I just got my second TILT and it won't recognize or charged by the motorola 0.5A charger. It can only be charged by the htc supplied 5V 1A charger or USB cable link to computer.
I am just wondering how come one TILT can be charged with a Motorola charger while another cannot.
The Motorola charger USB male plugin is a little thicker (fatter??) than the TILT factory charger. All you need to do is to squeeze the male plugin a little bit with a plier so it will contact the charging blade.
i wouldnt suggest it as they charge differently and possible long term damage to phone/battery
why why why ????

USB is USB. Amperage may be lower so it might take longer but you're not going to damage anything. The Moto charger has the same amperage as the USB ports on your PC.
This has been covered more times here than I can count.

Anyway. In Theory it should work. BUT, When were are talking about Electricity and $500 devices. I personally wouldn't mess around and spend the $20 to get a new HTC Charger.

So you failed 1st grade math?
If you are doing something like GPS, I probably wouldnt recommend a moto charger while doing that...
At times, I notice the power drain (in general) is more then the charger can handle, even without using GPS...
And the motorola charger will never recover a fully dead tilt

$25 chargers. $50 HDMI cables.

I really hope you don't spend $50 on HDMI cables. That is such a huge rip off. Check out monoprice.com for cables. There have been countless tests showing that the really pricey HDMI cables don't matter unless they are like 50ft long and trying to transfer 1440p video content. (There is almost nothing out there that will play or display 1440p video content except for the videophiles) I personally have a 1080p TV and display it with some cables purchased at monoprice for like $6 and compared them to ones bought for $20 and there is no visual difference.
EDIT
Oh and $25 for the HTC charger is ridiculous. Just open it up and you will see that the components are very similar if not the same as the Motorola chargers or others that charge using USB. Just make sure the output voltage is 5.0V. I have seen some Motorola chargers output 5.9V using the mini USB port. They components inside them are pretty simple and can do the job pretty efficiently.
That was the point I was making although I attempted to stay subtle. Best Buy, etc. sell TV's at a very low margin to compete but once you're in the store they try to sell you cables at ridiculous prices (Staples used to do this with USB cables if you bought a printer from them, probably still do).
Likewise at an AT&T store where they don't make much money selling subsidized cell phones they can get some nice margin selling "HTC" chargers for ridiculous prices. Apparently some people still believe they need them.

Yeah I've seen Best Buy trick many older people into buying $100 HDMI cables. I have been able to stop a few from buying them but some still buy them. They wasted a lot of their hard earned money. I have also seen the list from a Best Buy employee that left it out showing how much things cost for the store and how much they are sold. A lot of their cables are bought at $1 and sold to the consumer for about $15. Some the store bought for $5 and sold for $50+. If customers saw this they would know to shop elsewhere for these things.
You guys act like a business is evil for trying to make a profit.

I wouldn't bother with Moto chargers - I used to find with my old Orbit that if the amperage was too low it wouldn't recognise that it was charging at all (and probably wasn't). I use a ~$5 1A car charger -> USB adapter and a standard USB cable. How cheap do you want?!?
Chris
I have been using the Motorola charger on my TILT with the Mugen 3000mAH battery with no problem. I also use the USB port on my HP laptop with no problem.

Where can I buy more of the little adapter that you plug the USB cable in to, then plug the adapter into to your wall power outlet?
I'm planning on coupling it with this cable: monoprice!com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5459&seq=1&format=2
My Incredible charges MUCH faster when plugged in to a power outlet than it does when plugged in to USB.
I just bought two off of Ebay that I will be trying out. I will let you know if they work which ones they are. I do know that the one from Monoprice.com doesn't work well so I would avoid that one.
Ok I got a few of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...&_trkparms=algo=LVI&its=I&otn=2#ht_500wt_1182
"PLO" brand "Powerbug" - meant for GPS devices but they work perfect with the incredible. 5v, 1A, 5watt (same as stock HTC charger). I got two at $8 each so not bad. They are nice looking compared to the generic Monoprice usb charger.
EDIT ** Don't think these have as much power as the stock charger. Spare parts states "Charging (USB)" when using these, so it's like being plugged up to a computer. Still a good deal at $8
The usb to wall plugs from monoprice are no good. I ordered several before I knew better. None of them worked properly...or for Any longer than 20 minutes.

It sure does, however, if you take a look at the picture, its simply a USB slot that the mini-usb cable plugs into, which means that any USB cable could work as the OP asked about. I'd say this would work well. However, I grabbed http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerduouniversal and it works great and I can just move my cable from my car to my house and have power everywhere.
don't buy aftermarket USB A/C adapters unless it's just for an overnight charge. You can't use the screen when using an aftermarket adapter. It's quite annoying. every single touch screen phone I have had has this problem.

Yes I bought two and both of them work fine. Not sure if they charge as fast or not as the STOCK charger, but they are rated the exact same. The only thing I don't like about them is they have a blue light around the USB port. I found those at $8 each which is a lot better than paying $30 each somewhere else. I found these in another thread and the person was finding them even cheaper at some discount store I had never heard of. I'll leave one at work, one out in the garage or somewhere. The HTC charger will stay in the bedroom.

That's not true. While the monoprice wall charger DID have a screen issue, the screen works perfectly fine with these chargers. And I used all kinds of chargers with my previous HTC Touch and never had a screen issue.

I have several aftermarket USB AC heads that work just fine with the Incredible. All of them purchased some time ago.
I've been using my old iphone power blocks without any problems, though its only been a couple days if charging.
Depending on the price, you may be able to snag some fairly cheap with all of the companies that make cheap iphone/ipod accessories. Unfortunately I have enough power blocks so I don't have a need to buy/test any others.
I would be curious about other peoples experiences though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
I have some Ipod AC adapters as well. I was thinking they'd be safe to use since lower amp for the Incredible... but what of the reverse? Can you use the Incredible AC wall block safely on other devices? It's 1A instead of the .5A for Iphone/Ipod.
I'm trying to travel with less charges!
Having looked at a number of UK websites, only one said a USB cable came with the charger. I had been planning on buying an OEM 2 amp charger. Then I saw Clove were saying it came with a spare USB cable so the price of £24.99 didn't seem so bad any more. Got it on Friday and, yes, it did have a USB cable in the pack.
Tried it in my car runing Co-Pilot sat nav and my battery indicator showed that the charge was still going up so I am very pleasedwith it.
Only slightly disappointing thing is that the charger has only one output whereas some of the OEM ones have two, one 2 amp and one 1 amp. However, I tried it with my charger splitter and it still showed the charge was going up.
most cheap usb car charges have a screwable top; just take out the glass fuse and replace it with a 2amp/2000mA fuse which you can get at autozone, radio shack,home depot....pretty much anywhere
Really? if i just change the glass fuse i can use any usb car charge?
Is not dangerous for the electric impiant of the car?
No You can't. It is not the fuse that decides how much current the charger can give.
The fuse just protects the charger from blowing if something fails.
The regulator used in the charger sets the charging current.
true you can buy a regulator at radio shack. i've seen the 7805 for about a buck 50.
Ok, tnx guy!

There are generic 2A USB cigarette lighter / car chargers on eBay for a third of the price. Worth trying too
Would you mind posting a pic of the charger?
I just bought Samsungs Car Adapter kit (ECA-P10CBECSTD) from local store, 27.90€.
It comes with cigarette lighter 12/24V usb adapter, 2 Amps 5V output, and a proprietary Samsung Tab usb cable.
A little pricey, ok, but now I have a second usb cable and a car adapter with enough output amps without fuss.

Amazon UK are selling the Samsung car charger for £20.83. Pretty good deal with free delivery.
[edit]
Or there's this one also on Amazon for 99p (+£4.50 delivery!) which apparently can charge the Tab. You still need to add in the cost of the proprietary Samsung USB cable though to match the official car charger features, so not much of a bargain really...

No, what I'm saying is why is it not listed..... and if anyone is considering purchasing one I would recommend they save themselves any issues by first contacting the seller to ascertain if the cable is indeed part of the deal.

OK well I've just ordered one so we'll soon see . The picture on Amazon looks almost identical to the one on Clove. Here's hoping they're the same otherwise I've bought the world's most expensive charger .
Guys, just so you know, you can get very cheap 2A chargers on ebay. The cable problem is still impossible to solve, but I'm sure Hong Kong people are working on it, so it might be best to wait a month and order a cheap replacement cable, rather then paying ridiculous amount of money for Samsung's original cable.
I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...b43hTuXib7JjWUKJhg%3D&viewitem=#ht_1776wt_959
Came in today, and I swear the sync cable it came with is identical to the one my Tab came with, right down to the Samsung logo.
Car charger itself is a 5.0v/2000mA, looks well built, fused, and comes in a very nice retail package.
Considering the cable alone is $29 from my carrier, it's a hell of a deal. I basically bought a cable for $23 and got a car charger for free.
Hey croak that cellet charger doesnt work. it has the charging symbol crossed out... I guess you need to do usb2usb soldering mod to use any 5v2A charger. I saw the thread on here...

maybe it doesn't, but your way of thinking is flawed, and greedy.
charging cradle is using standard micro usb connection. 99% of the cables/chargers will work with it. everyone own a few at least, they come with nearly every device. micro usb is present on more than 90% of devices. you charge everything with one cable. yet you are trying to get the original charger - for no reason.

I guess I wasn't around whenever you were crowned "knower of all things usb and resale", strange though considering you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. First of all having the original box and original contents along with any item being resold greatly increases the overall chance of it selling, it reduces the amount of time it takes to sell, and most importantly items sold with their original box and contents on average bring in 15% - 30% MORE MONEY than the exact same items being sold without the original box and contents. So wow, just wow, it actually does make a difference whether you want to believe it or not. But I guess whenever you sell something of yours you just give it away for practically nothing because otherwise you'd be greedy right? Let me know whenever you're ready to sell your Gear because I'd be happy to give you $20 bucks for it! Secondly, just because a different cable might fit into the port doesn't mean that it'll work the same way. You're "any old cable will do" theory is kind of ridiculous considering cables by themselves have different resistances which alone could cause longer charge times and faster battery drain, and each adapter has it's own voltage and amp outputs which can also effect different devices in different ways. It's funny how none of those things ever crossed your mind yet somehow you're an authority on the subject. LOL Wow just wow!

Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.

Thanks for the heads up. Most aftermarket chargers like Belkin are garbage. You'd think that at $30+ it would be top notch, but they're actually made to be as cheap as possible by mediocre engineers so they end up being exceedingly terrible. Not only do they not measure up to spec but the output voltage is unstable and has a TON of noise. It's obviously always preferable to go with a good oem charger when possible. Unfortunately they're somewhat hard to find separately without actually buying something and if you do find one for sale they're are a lot of fakes out there so it can be risky.
By far best chargers that are easily attainable are the apple usb chargers. After comparing the apple usb chargers(both 5w and 12w) and a bunch of other usb chargers(both oem and aftermarket) I have using an oscilloscope at work, the apple chargers have the cleanest output by a wide margin. Just be sure to buy them from a major retailer. It's not worth risking getting a fake because at that point you might as well use the belkin.
Additionally, the original 2014 moto x charger and kindle 5w and 9w changers are also very good.
While I prefer the 1A/5w chargers to extend the life of the battery, you can also get the 9w-12w ones which will charge faster if that's something you need. Be sure to use a quality cable too.
edit:
This guy did something similar to what I did but actually took the time to document it. It's very informative and shows how much quality can vary between different chargers.

You can probably find the same/similar thing on ebay for under $2. But you have to keep in mind that not all usb chargers are created equal, especially these cheap aftermarket ones. While it may charge your devices, the quality of the power it delvers may or may not be good. Not to mention that it might not be made to even minimal safety standards - for both you and the device. Even though the charger you recommend may very well be fantastic, it is of unknown quality. Given that the vast majority of all aftermarket usb chargers are substandard, it can be reasonably assumed that this one isn't an anomaly.
I recommended the apple charger because it's known to be of very good quality and it's easy to find.

The author compares a genuine ipad charger with a fake one. Assuming that the majority of aftermarket chargers are built to the same standard(or worse) as the fake, it amazes me that anyone would even consider using one let alone pay for it. What is the logic in saving a couple bucks and potentially risking several hundred? I would rather spend $20 once and have piece of mind in knowing that I have the best.
you are right, but i've just gave you a link to the pretty cheap charger that works well with G2 and as i've said - it charges my tablet as well...
i don't just buy random stuff on ebay... i always do a little research before buying anything - especially buyer comments & reviews...
and alzashop also doesn't sell crap...
btw ConnectIT brand does a bunch of IT gadgets, usb chargers are just a drop in the ocean...
Try using Dorimanx kernel and set the Force charge on (1600+ mah) and try the charger again
I had the same issue when I bought an Oem HTC one M9 charger but only charged at 300 mah sometimes
I used dorimanx and now it charges at around 1800+ mah
