Hi,
Is there difference between a iPhone 3Gs, Sony Ericsson X1i and HTC HD2 chargers?
The cable will be the one from the HD2 box, but i have these three chargers.
Is it ok to use them all (office, home, room) without harming the phone especially the battery?
All of them will work

Hi,
I just bought a used HD2 without a charger. Seller told me the charger was not working and gave me only the USB cable. I am wondering if I can use my HD charger to charge the HD2. Of course, by swapping the cable.....
Anyone with a HD2 please post the part number/model number of their original HTC HD2 Charger so that I can check whether it is the same thing? Thanks all.....
Oh....Just downloaded a copy of the usual manual for HD2. It stated the original adaptor for HD2 is TC-P300 which is exactly the same as my HD's adaptor. So they are interchangable by swapping the USB cables!
its also the same as my brothers diamond charger
normally, you can use every usb charger.
if it doesnt work with your leo, it won't charge, but nothing should happen to your device.

Yup, it is exactly the same charger. (5 Volt 1Amp )
Same situation, changed from an HD to a HD2.
That's good! That mean any of those car cigarette lighter plug with USB output can be used with the appropriate USB cable to charge our HTC phone in the car? Don't need to buy the original car charger from HTC?
you can also charge your ipod with your hd2 chargers adapter.just connect the ipods' usb cable to the charger and plug in

i would say about 99,9% does it. maybe there are 1 or 2 out there, which dont work. but normally, all of them should work.

Yup, but check Tbattery. I have this tool in NRG rom and it shows you how much current goes, or comes, from your battery.
From what I believe is that there are 2 states and 2 modes.
The mode is actually the source to where your HD2 is connected to. This is either a standard USB port on your laptop or the other one a charger.
If it is connected to the standard USB port it will draw a max of 500mA which is the max a USB should be able to deliver.
The charger can provide 1 Amp which is 1000mA, which means half the charge time till full.
You have to know that there are actually 4 conductors on the 'big' USB connector. Ground, 5 Volt and D+ and D- (the actual data).
The HD2 knows that it is connected to the charger when D+ and D- are connected to eachother. (no harm done btw)
Now some carchargers can deliver 1 Amp but they don't have the D's shorted and the HD2 only pulls 500mA from it since it doesn't see it as a 'HTC' charger.
The state is determined on the batt's %
If it is below 90% I believe it charges at full Amps (depending on the mode) above it goes in slow charge.
Looks like nowaday, we just need an adaptor with a USB output and various USB cables to charge different phones. Not too long ago, we need to carry one charger for each phone. haha....
Thanks for all those who replied!
I use a Nokia N97 car charger and it works very well. I'm guessing a normal N97 power adapter could work as well to charge your HD2.
info & caution.
Any USB port should be able to charge your HD2 & micro USB is the new standard charging specification, so it should become really common over time.
However, be careful what else you plug in! I bought a 3.2mm to micro USB adapter. It was fine on a standard Nokia charger (which delivered about 4.5 volts), but another one which put out about 7 volts, blew my poor HD2 up :-(
I got it repaired though. They replaced the main board = new IMEI etc, which would have been expensive out of warranty! Lucky me, but being without my HD2 was kinda hell!
I have checked the voltage out of that car charger. A friend of mine tested it before too on his HD2. N97 has a bigger voltage battery (1500 mA). He had problems finding a decent car charger for his HD2. He eventually bought 2 non-original chargers for an N97 and HD2. He took the connector from the non-original HD2 car charger, he cut off the connector for the N97 and he put the HD2 connector (he is an electrician, do not try this if you don't know what you are doing). He advised me to buy an original N97 charger that should work. I did buy one original car charger and I am satisfied with it. My HD2 is still in one piece without any service calls. I am saying that a N97 car charger should work just fine on an HD2.

This might have happened to me? It would not charge with my 500 ma USB supplies (computer nor the AC USB power adapter. Nor would it charge with my AC USB power adapter of 1 amp.
So I used my HTC HD2 car charger, plugged into my AC-12 volt car charger outlet, and it charged ok.
Two weeks later, nothing. So waiting for an external HTC HD2 battery charger from an eBay supplier. Tried different HTC HD2 batteries & HTC HD2 USB cables. No luck yet.
Hello,
I´m looking for an additional adapter (to the HTC stock one).
I would like to ask if you had any experiences on using one of the latest Apple USB power adapters? They seem very thin (the EU versions for example).
The original HTC power adapter is OK, but I am looking for something more compact, like the Apple USB power adapter.
I have read the post about "Using HD charger to charge HD2?", but like to hear experiences especially about the Apple power adapter compatibility (specifications) with HTC HD2.
Thank you in advance!
my partners iphone 3gs charger, the one that looks like just a uk plug works just fine on my hd2
way overpriced to buy on their own though
any usb charger device should work with the hd2, least at the standard charge rate

Seems not many people have tested this combination?!
Thank you very much for the feedback "dexterslab"
Im using a nokia MicroUSB charger taken from my brothers N97.

I have tried this and it does charge but the charging rate is quite slow. The HTC charger charges my HD2 much faster...

Blackberry curve and Bold both work well as does my old Nokia 6500c and the newer Samsung's also work well

HD2 doesn't recognize iPhone charger as a AC charger (wall charger).
Just need to modify the cable I made special cable and has no problems with the Iphone or other chargers. Just need to shorten data pins/wires on the cable.
Thank you all
Thank you all for the feedback!
As I understand, the original HTC data cable in combination with an Apple power adapter may charge at native speeds ...
Best regards
Hi, I wan't to ask about the actual specification charger required for HTC Incredible S? I've been purchased the HTC regular charger with this specs:
Input: (100-240c.a 50-60Hz 0.15A) 10-20VA
Output: (5Vc.c 0.5A)
But unfortunately my touch screen not responsive and also goes crazy some times (the UI scrolled by itself). Is there any special charger for every different HTC devises? Now I'm using iPhone 4 charger and it work greats! I'm afraid misused type of charger can broke my phone.
Please help! Thanks.

Faced the same with cheap erzatz chargers, use branded chargers of 1000mah minimum (htc,blackberry,apple) they all work
Nb: they will not break your phone, its just annoying and battery might charge slow or not completely
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Do not use cheap charger as it will cause the screen become unresponsive.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S
Thanks all. So if I still using iPhone charger it will not harm my phone rite?
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA
Shouldn't, but im using the HTC one
Iphone one should be perfectly fine though, try to stay away from cheap ones
I agree ,have had problems wth cheap chargers, you get what you pay for.

..So THATS why my screen has been weird sometimes, thanks guys!
Try direct USB charging from PC but never use cheap chargers at all. Charging from direct USB from PC is slow though but can be negotiate.
Much to my amazement I discovered that the charger for my new Sony RX100 pocket camera also charges the Nexus 7!
I don't know about you, but the assortment of connections, adapters, power cables and chargers can be intimidating to keep straight.
Maybe there are others that would work too, but the accident of plugging in the wrong charger amazed me.
Nexus 7 just uses a standard microUSB cable so any cable from a modern device made by a company that isn't obsessed with proprietary chargers should work.
You're right on, I agree
Pawnty -
It's not that simple. While MicroUSB is indeed standard, not all cables will work on all devices. A friend of mine has a Nexus 7, and it is very picky about what cables and power sources it will charge from. I just got a Sony HX20V and am running into the same problem. It will not charge if I use the iGo AC charger that I have been using for my phones for the last 2 years, my retractable USB-MicroUSB cable, or my AT&T-branded car charger. So far, it has only charged with the cables that came with my Captivate and Galaxy Nexus, plugged into a computer or their corresponding AC adaptor.
Hello I am from the UK, I got the M8 at a great deal and it came today. However there is a problem with the HTC charger not being suitable for UK plugs, i.e they dont fit. However I got given an adapter for it unbranded, as a white plug with a USB slot for the HTC USB cable.
Now my worry is, from my knowledge you should only use chargers of the same brand as other chargers can do damage over time. Using the white plug given, it is not HTC branded, although the cable is still from HTC. But is this bad for my phone? That am not using a HTC branded charger? I want to charge it before it is powered on but I also don't want to use a dodgy charger.
Hard to say. If its some off-brand, cheap charger, it can have some defect that can conceivably damage the phone.
But if its decent quality, I interchange my MicroUSB chargers all the time (Samsung, HTC, etc.). Maybe technically not the best thing to do. But I haven't noticed any ill effects; and I'm willing to accept the consequences on the off chance something happens.
Worth buying the original IMHO.

Mine was shipped from Hong Kong so came with an English plug but I currently live in Australia. It shipped with a UK to AUS adaptor and this has been working fine. I think that's the cheaper option then buying a whole new charger.

I only say this because I did this.. i got my HTC ONE M8 and thought the plug didnt fit but the earth prong expanded (i havent had a new phone since htc one x .. apparently this is the new design on phones as my friend with S5 laughed at me when i said the plug confused me for a while lol)
well some cheap non brand chargers can harm your device battery. there are a lot of complains like this. so if you even want to change your charger i recommend buying the original HTC charger or same quality charger of other brands.
