neat alternative battery charger..
has anyone tried the Kodak battery pack with their HD2?
http://shop.kodak.co.uk/store/ekconseu/en_GB/pd/Portable_Charger_KP100-C+2/productID.147432800
at 17 gbp with solar charger **(ok maybe not for the UK ) but has USb outlet and replaceable 2500mah AA batteries so could be a neat way of carrying a spare 5000mah around (and more with extra batteries) or if you're somewhere that has that funny glowing thing in the sky...
It may work well for travelling with and providing a recharge for the Hd2
I may get one later on the year to test it out.
** although it doesn't show it in the pictures there, the specifications show it comes with a solar cell, although the only image I can find is of the KS100 (not the kp100) so the solar part maybe a mistake on the kodak site.

Not tried that one but I bought the Philips SCE7640 a couple of weeks ago:

I haven't opened/used it yet, but seems to get some decent reviews.

I was under the impression that didn't come with a microUSB plug. Please let us know once you've used it? Thx...
It's on charge now, so will try it out when it's done. Although it doesn't come with a micro-usb tip, the unit has a full size usb socket so you can use the micro usb cable that comes supplied with the HD2, or an aftermarket cable.
Orange accessories had them on clearance for less than £24.

Saw that; now they're out of stock though. In mainlaind Europe they're over EUR 100!
Yeah,that's how much they were here in the UK too, but I guess they couldn't shift them at around £120.
I would keep an eye on play.com if I wanted to buy one, as I don't think they will sell many at this price and will reduce them:
www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...&_$ja=tsid:11518|cc:|prd:8111985|cat:Chargers
Ebay seems to be the cheapest at the moment, check out item number 290390746963 for £39 delivered free in the UK (nothing to do with me!)
It's charging the HD2 fine, as well as the Acer A150 netbook. I really bought it for the Acer netbook because it has the internal 3G card built in and when that's running it uses more power.
I have it charging a HTC Polaris now so we'll see how long it takes it to charge it from a flat battery,and how much power is left in the Philips power pack.
UPDATE: it took around 3 hours to fully charge the Polaris battery, and that's the same time it would normally take using the mains charger. I have 3 lights left on from the 4 lights of the capacity indicator of the Philips power supply

Hello Friends and greetings to all,
I used to have for my previous HTCs an independent cradle battery charger where I would place a battery in the morning and replace it the evening with the one in my device.
Hence I never suffered from powerlack.
Did you see in your surfing a new device for HTC HD2?
Thank you and have a nice holiday season.
I always switched batteries. I agree, it's the most comfortable recharging practice.
Anyway, I found a craddle/bat. charger here.

Can't agree more with you my friend, takes 3 minutes to do the whole operation, whereas with a broader battery, the spirit itself of your purchasing goal goes astray.
Thanks for your link, I will go for it.

Are there any issues with using non HTC produts? I've used non official products in the past and always had problems, ie they stop working after a while.
Has anyone actually got one? Is it any good?
cradle
I had 1 for my hd, loved it. So got 1 for hd2. Saw 1 with 3.5mm headphone jack, super for listening to tunes,& charging. But, Didn't realize that unless plugged into external speakers when charging ,say at nite, you won't hear phone ring, or message alerts? So, I just plug into reg. charger,so I can hear ring, its my only phone. Might be getting reg.1?
Edit; it does still work to charge spare battery.
Just had thought? If I take out the 3.5 male plug, it will work like I need it too! Right?
Can someone please suggest a decent portable charger that I can use to keep my HD2 running for 5 days without mains power?
At the moment I charge it once a day.
Either AA Powered or with a large internal battery
Thanks
Hi,
I've got this one:
dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.18883

Not quite as powerfull as some of the previous suggestion but recharges my HD2 2 and a bit times if Im not using it while on charge.
The tips and chargers are all cross compatible with their other products which I also use (powergorilla for my netbook) and its small enough to carry around!
I'll suggest an i-walk U20 5400mAh, it charges the HD2 about 4 1/2 times. perfect for long days out or when going camping etc. also has a powerful torch.
http://gadgetmix.com/index/u2o-iwalk-5400-universal-emergency-battery-charger-review/
Mine cost about £44, but it's totally worth it. I just don't trust those chargers running on 2xAA batteries
I bought this one plus a couple of AA size 2200mAh rechargeable battery, can be used for 4-5 days ouside

hmmmm i think this one really rules. thinking of getting one instead of the extended battery. so i can keep the good design as i dont need the power every day ...
I'm using a powergorilla for charging my 2 phones. a HD2 and a SE W800i
it lasts me 2 weeks
it is a big powerpack but also does the laptop more then once easily when needed. they have also a half size one the minigorilla
just google it.
£6.99 plus £1.39 shipping. Just over a week to get from Hong Kong, its a USB type charger with an indicated 5v output, includes a UK mains USB plug also rated at 5v and a sync/charge cable similar to the Samsung one.
Slightest criticism would be the plug that goes into the tab is slightly loose compared to the original, otherwise very good quality.

They will be very unlikely to be 2100mah , more likely 500-800mah , you cannot believe specifications labels from hong kong/china , The SGTAB needs a lot of power to charge correctly, I would be very weary of using them at all!

Meh, my eBay car charger works just fine.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Can you post a link to that charger? I've tried both the Duragadget and Scosche "2A" car chargers, and neither one fast-charges the Tab. The only thing that's worked for me is getting a 12V inverter and plugging the standard wall-wart into it.
Well, i had this experienced with my blackberry handheld. Using the 3rd party aka non genuine car charger and find out the IC charging it wont worked so it must be replaced with the new one.
could be the voltage standard is different with the genuine one...u might wanna considered again to using the non genuine part for an often usage might damage the handheld

Best accessories ever bought. Life is so much better! and What are they? Simply an extra battery - OEM version from amazon.com was about $6 - and a battery charger - from Amazon.com, was around $6.
These make life so much simpler, so much time worrying about a cable connected to my phone to charge it in all the places i may go in life in the past, is now spent knowing when my battery is low, I've got a 100% charged duplicate battery just waiting for me to swap 'em out. I just wanted to share, it really has made cellular life in general so much easier!

This little gizmo is genius. Basically makes ANYTHING bluetooth capable. At the end of it is a female 3.5mm jack. I use this to make my Car bluetooth. I have a male-male cable (one side plugged into the Aux on my Car, the other side plugged into the gizmo shown above). Turn it on and you got Bluetooth now. Its so damn small you can basically take it with you anywhere and make anything bluetooth.
Best part is its so damn cheap compared to its competitors. I got mine on eBay brand new for 12 bucks.....I don't think they sell these in retail stores. I looked around in retail stores and anything like this was well over $40 and WAY more bulky and bloated with useless bling-features.

Full disclosure, RAVPower provided me with this power bank for an honest and fair review. There are many portable battery packs out there, but RAVPower is one of the names I trust to provide a quality product every time. This battery pack is not the highest capacity on the market, but at 10050mAh it should get you several full charges and the rugged design makes it ideal for those on the go. It has one 2.4A port and another 1A port and can deliver a max of 3.4A, allowing you to charge two devices simultaneously. The pack itself also charges at up to 2A, so it recharges quicker than many packs out there which commonly use 1A. I have used this charger for about a month now, and through several charging cycles it has held up. I've been using it to charge my 2015 Kindle Fire 7", which has a 2980mAh battery, and I consistently get 3+ full charges out of it before the pack dies. The tablet has been drained to around 10% when it goes on, and usually on the 4th charge it gets me up to around 20-30% before the pack dies.
The rugged design of the power pack lets me throw it in my bag and if it gets dropped or handled a bit rough I'm not worried about damaging it. It is waterproof (IP66 rated) and dustproof when the port flap is closed, so spills aren't a concern either. The design adds a bit of bulk to the device, which is expected, but it is still small enough that I don't feel like I'm taking up valuable space in my bag. The built-in LED flashlight isn't the brightest, but I can see it being handy in emergencies. Two flat USB cables are included, one long and the other shorter. The included carabiner is a bit generic but will get the job done and allows you to clip it to your bag or belt if you desire. It also comes with a water bottle holder with compass, but lets be honest that's not why you're buying this.
Overall I'm very pleased with this battery pack. It delivers plenty of power, and the design let me not worry about damaging it. If you're looking for something small and discrete this probably isn't the bank for you, but otherwise I'd recommend this!
