Hey folks,
I'm using my Xperia X1i in the USA. It came with an international charger, but I was wondering if I could use ANY wall charger with the mini-b USB output. Will it work? Can it fry my phone? Thanks!
yeah it'll be fine
Yep, worked well for me.

Just curious, as i've just bought a European Nike, and it comes only with a 2 pin charger. Will the Polaris charger be the same? Or will i fry my Nike?
thanks in advance!
Every new HTC device uses standard mini-USB ports for charging and syncing.
So to answer your question, yes, it will work.
I had a similar question a while back. The replies might be of interest!

I think any USb charger from any other cellphone manufacturer should work, the only difference would be for some is the charging time.
Hi guys: Somethings wanted to share with you guys. never never put your phone to the car charger before you start the car. It happened to my HTC HD2 T9193 now it can not be charged or data xfer. the orange led not light up also there is no ac icon instead of battery icon on the display. now I have to use swapping battery instead of charge it. if you see this post your are a lucky guy to know this experience . by the way, anybody knows how much will cost to repair and where?
To play devil's advocate. How do you know what exactly caused your damage to your HD2? Did it happen the first time you connected it up that way?
that's the same problem some people had with the HTC tytn 2 when using cheap chargers from ebay...
Apperantly theres something missing to stop the car from pulling power from your HD2 while it's connected to the charger.

...but: was it an original one, from HTC itself?
Yeah unless I have been lucky for so many years (knock on wood), it has to be a cheap or faulty charger because I hve llway had my phone changing when I am in the car. I have always used carrier sold charger's or a USB adapter and USB Cable. I do however remember reading about this a few devices ago.

Um... The incredible has a micro-usb port. You can't shove a mini in there.
And the answer is yes and NO. The charge voltage is always the same but different phones use different methods to get signaled for charging. For instance the iphone uses 2.7V across pins 2,3 to signal and 5V across 1,4 as I recall.
You won't do damage using the wrong one though. It just won't work and you'll scratch your head.

His question still asked if he could use a mini usb charger for this phone, and no, he cant. The incred uses a micro-usb port, where a mini will just not fit.

Umm, no he asked "Does anyone know if all mini usb car chargers are the same voltage? Can i use any mini usb cig charger i have?" and larsdennert's answer was a direct answer to that exact question.
so this thing is a micro usb like the blackberry? gonna buy a big pack of usb cables for it and I don't wanna buy the wrong ones.

the cable you should buy would then be USB A to micro B. Monoprice is sold out- I ended up buying from Amazon, but the shipping was a bit ridiculous
I just ended up getting a charger from wal-mart that was labeled for a Motorola, but it works fine since it is a micro USB
I have alot of motorola mini usb chargers... I bought a micro usb adapter for 6 bucks from radio shack... it charges and works as far as I can tell... only thing I notice is that the motorola is 5v-550mA not 5v-1A ... I dontk know if this will have any long term effect on the batteries... I think it just makes it charge slower
I don't know the difference between micro and mini, but I hope I can use the car charger I recently purchased for my Touch Pro for my new D.I.
I tried using the BB brand car charger and I got a message on my Dinc that I this manufacture was not compatible with the Dinc. WTF?
I've had no problems using any car charger that allows either changing tips (igo) or has a USB port so you plug the correct cable in. I even have an Apple car charger that works as long as I use the correct USB cable.
But now a slightly different question....
I notice the Incredible WALL charger says 5v at 1A, and my WALL chargers for Apple are 5v .5 A, so I assume the Apple charger works for Incredible, only slower charge, but is it same to use the Incredible Charger for the Incredible? I hate traveling with a zillion chargers.
I have a brace of chargers for my Samsung BlackJack and BlackJack 2 that I was hopin got use for my new Telstra HD2 that arrives tomorow. Does anyone know if they will work?
I bought the phone off ebay so if I plug in the wrong thing an dtoast it I'm in deep trouble.
Thanks in advance for your help.

What are the ratings on the Samsung charger?
Is it a micro-USB plug on it?
I don't know the ratings right now. I'm at work but will look them up and post them here when I get home. They had micro-USD jacks on them. Come to think of it I probably have some data cables lying around that I can use too!
Thanks for your help!

chargers of samsung blackjack 1, 2 & Omnia1 will not work with the HTC HD2
But charger & USB sync cable of the Samsung Omnia2 will work 100%, Im using both the Omnia2 and Telstra HD2 right now.
This is truly weird. I can now only charge my Verizon Droid Turbo with a USB port on the computer or the charger from a Google Nexus 7 tablet or the car charger. No other charger works including the one that came with the phone. Turbo charging stopped working months ago, but I really didn't care because I didn't need it.
Anybody heard of anything like this?
Bring the charger that came with the phone (and phone) of course to Verizon. They should be able to replace it.
Appreciate the quick response
I will to that but I really want to know how this could have stopped charging on all the chargers it was working with just 2 days ago. These same chargers work with anything but this one phone.

I'm guessing one is charging via data connection, the rest knows it's charge mode?
I have exact issue. My phone actually drains s few percentage points while on the charger. If I plug into charger at night at 40%, my morning it is 3%. Assuming charger or cord was bad, I used old Droid Max cord. That worked for a few days, then not. Same with car charger. Now I am using Bose Sound link charger. Any ideas?
