I have a Qtek 9100 (Wizard clone) and I noticed that my battery is completely drained from my device. I can't find my AC adapter but I have my USB cable to my PC but that won't start recharing it. I recently saw a post that if your battery is completely dead, the USB cable connected to the phone cannot recharge it as it must atleast have 1000mW to charge it? I have tried to find some specs and I want to know exactly what kind of AC adapter I need for that phone? a 5v 2000mW mini USB adapter or something? Not sure what I need. Any ideas?
here is one that u can use
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-AUDIOVOX-AC...7092790QQihZ017QQcategoryZ11168QQcmdZViewItem
that is the one i have for my wizard
input: 100-240v/~0.2A 50-60Hz
output: 5V
Thanks Malik05,
I saw the specs on it and it does 5V-1A output. I was looking for a dealer in Canada and it seems that most cell phone stores only have AC adapters that ONLY do 0.2-0.5A which I tried and doesn't work. I couldn't find anyone selling a 5V-1A AC adapter.

there ya go, it should do the trick, if not, then try going to a tmobile store...but that eBay link should do it...
Do you guys think there is anything special to the charger? When its fully drained, my iPod charger with a mini-USB cable doesn't work either (output is listed as 5V 1.0A).
the only thing special between the wizard charger is that it needs a full 1A, not .5A when the battery is at absolute zero...as for the iPod, i dont discuss apple products, it will turn into a debate hehe...
Thanks for the link to the new dealer Malik05 but he only ships within the US. ( Not Canada ). I saw one other place that might sell an adapter on ebay but the shipping was like $28 for an ac adapter. I am getting abit worried that even an Ipod charger that DOES supply 5V-1A doesn't even charger the phone when it's batteries are completely dead. It doesn't give me much confidence that any other adapter will work. Do you have another ebay link to purchase one that will work?
iPod dosnt have the same connectors as the wizard, what exactly are you talking about?
Sorry if I caused some confusion, I'll try to clarify some things.
I'm having the same problem charging my wizard since I lost my AC adapter over the weekend. I do, however, have the charger from my iPod (which is just an AC adapter with a female USB connector). With this iPod charger and a mini-USB data cable, I used to be able to charge the phone, that is until now. The only difference I can think of, is because the phone's battery is now fully drained.
The iPod charger is listed as 5v, 1.0A and still charges my iPod (using the iPod's dock connector cable).
o okay...i just thought that ipod chargers had their own standard, but anyway..you may need the original wizard charger...becacuse ive seen this problem with Motorola phones, some RAZR phones will not charge unless it is a motorla branded charger...
I'm looking for cables for charging and syncing my titan without the stupid adapters that come with it. I hate the combined plug for the headphones adn mini-usb. I don't want to have to tote around the adapter. Does anybody know where I can find these? I'd like a car charger, a sync cable, and maybe a wall plug charger. All depends on the price for what and how much I buy.
no adapter needed
You can directly plug the charger into the phone, the only reason the adapter has an odd shape is to keep you from plugging it into other usb devices.
I use my car charger from my 6700 with no problem.
I thought the same as you, then figured out you can plug mini usb directly into phone.
wow, I feel a little stupid right now, but just a little bit because that wasn't exactly obvious. I'm really happy about that now though. That means the only real point of frustration is having to use two adapters to get to normal headphones or buy a new adapter. I'm just happy I can car charge and use a normal synce cable with no adapter. Thanks man, that's a big help.
I wouldnt charge my mogul in the car cause its so much easier to weaken your batter when charging inside a car

Can you explain this? I'm an electrical engineer, so I should understand any reasoning that you know of for this. I would think that all the charger is is a DC plug with a regulator to keep it from going over the rated 3.7 volts. Is the current higher than the wall plug? I don't get how this would work?

Only thing I could think of is that it charges at a higher amperage and that in turn makes the battery hotter. I compared my HTC wall charger with the USB car adapter I use and they have the same current and voltage.
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.
DN41
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.
DN41
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.
Hi everybody, I am looking for a car charger for my HD2. I would like to ask if you think that a 1000mah one would damage the phone?
I have found some on eBay and I was considering buying it.
Please let me know what you think.
The standard mains power adaptor that comes with the phone is 1000mA so no it won't damage it.
Even a 5000mA won't, the phone will draw as much current as it needs.
Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of buying the charger and a car mount, so that I have my GPS needs for this years vacation, but I already had bad experience with a car charger that was not able to charge my wife's HTC Diamond when using GPS, that is why I want to buy a good one.
Try these: They work perfectly for me. The charger is a Motorola original charger.

I use an original Nokia N97 car charger and I never had any problems. I suggest you do the same, they are a little more expensive than the other ones, but a car charger has to be able to give enough juice to the phone while running. A friend of mine uses a similar charger for his HD2, he even tried a charger with several normal USB ports and they can't supply enough power for the phone.
Thank you all for the replies. I have seen both chargers, and the Nokia N97 one is even cheaper on Amazon. I will probably go with the Motorola one, as it seems to have enough power for the HD2. I was able to find out that its maximum output is 950mah, which is not bad for a cell phone charger.
Looks also like a more durable one, and if the manufacturers won't change the port soon, might be able to get it to charge my future phones as well.
Now for a car mount, I will probably go with the Exomount, as I have read some very nice things about it, plus it is universal, so I'll be able to have it hold much more than this phone.
Hope this thread helps someone with the same questions as I had.
Micro usb is the agreed standard amongst most mobile phone manufacturers to reduce wastage in having to produce umpteen different power adaptors, plus it reduces manufacturing costs.

amen to that , I was tiered of having so many different charges at home. At least at that time Nokia ruled the world (mobile world I mean), and most of them were Nokia chargers, hehe
But I prefer the micro usb norm. I just hope they will not invent a mini micro usb in the new devices. My xperia x1 and touch pro use a mini usb, which was the standard at that time
What is the max that the HD2 can get from the car charger?
I have a 500ma car charger, but when using the GPS it doesn't really charge, it seems that it only gives the same amount as the drain. (few days ago when I had 64% I connected the charger and drove for another hour or so, GPS always active, upon arrival battery was 63%)
will a 1000ma charger "charge" the battery during long drives?
I have a Brodit Active holder it works very well.
With GPS and Navigon on still charging.
I cannot put a link Serch for Brodit active holder HD2

yes that will do the job,
if it does not, solder the 2 inner terminals together and that will make your phone think it plugged into the mains charger
i bought a cheap 1amp usb charger from deal extreme and did the above
Be careful with the soldering. If the charger can't supply 1A, it might damage the phone /car/charger.

I bought what i thought were a couple higher quality universal chargers. They charge my razr fast but won't charge my nexus 7 at all. I have one of the chargers pulled apart but before I do any soldering I want to make sure -- if I cross the 2 data points will it work?
Well I couldn't wait 10 minutes so I tried. Answer: no. Wtf?
Can anyone tell me how to hack these chargers to make them work? Is there a resistor I need to remove?
Isn't it more likely to be a software thing?
With my samsung Tab 7.7 i couldn't charge it using my ipad charger until a Dev modded the software on the tablet.
are they 2Amp chargers? most universal chargers are only 1Amp
Well whatever the problem is, I want to charge my tablet in more than one place, I want to charge it faster than the 16 hours generic chargers are taking, and I don't want to pay $30 for OEM chargers.
If your tablet is taking 16 hours to fully charge, return it. I can drain mine after heavy use of the day and its still fully charged in under 6 hours.

@soldeus: There's nothing wrong with my tablet. The OEM charger works fine and some of my generic chargers work, they just don't have the current. (See below)
@vivan: They are 1A chargers, but they should still work. They don't charge at all. The 500ma Blackberry charger I'm using here at work will charge it in about 8 hours.
Ironically the move to almost-universal micro usb chargers has made the market for them even worse. Now, instead of having to buy a new charger every time you buy a new phone, you have to buy a dozen different chargers till you find one that actually works. Like I said, I didn't try to cheap out. I got a high quality charger.

The OEM charger is 2A for a reason. Because the tablet uses more power, it needs more current to charge at a fast pace.
Your generic 1A chargers are probably just enough to keep the tablet powered on, without draining (or charging) the battery.
If you can find a 2A universal charger, it should work just like the OEM one.

No, my 1A chargers are doing NOTHING at all. I plug it in and the charging icon doesn't come on. Reviews have tested these chargers at about 950ma and as I said, my 500ma Blackberry charger isn't too bad.. It's not lack of power, it's something else.
My guess is it has whatever resistor it needs to make it an "ipad" charger. And the vast majority of 2A chargers will, too.
So.. back to my original question: what do I need to do to make this charger charge my tablet? I KNOW it's possible. I just need to find the guy who can tell me how.
I also need a charger for my car, my usb power adapter in the car does not work, need to know what car charger will work as this tablet is supposed to be my car stereo replacement, sucks having to bring your stereo in to charge it and hope it lasts till you get done work
I bought the Scosche dual 10 Watt car charger, isn't here yet though. It does say it wont charge the Samsung tablets, maybe due to the proprietary cord because apparently there is a cord that works with them. It's not a specific ipad charger and does say it works with Android devices and tablets.
On a side note, what's the best way to determine what your N7 is actually charging at?
Both of my generic chargers won't work either, a 2.1A generic iPad charger, and a 1A standard USB charger. Considering it WILL charge off a 500ma USB port, it's not a current/amperage issue, it's a software/proprietary hardware issue.

the cost isn't so much the issue, its the actually working part. do they have one with an angled micro usb so i can mount the tablet in the car properly or preferably a usb adapter one where i can use my own cord
For $30 you could order a handful of different ones on ebay or monoprice and find something that works. But I want a dual charger.

I won't say 100% but I would bet the probability is very high. For the 1A charging they all seemed to play the same game with the voltage on the data lines. Not sure you'll get 2A but you'll at least get 1A.
Edit... maybe not, see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781680
I have a philips as351 audio dock that pushes 2A out of the micro-usb charger and the usb port on the back and neither will charge the N7. Bummer because it looks so nice on the dock to
