Car chargers

Does anyone know of a car charger that fits in perfectly in the cig lighter in the car. All Incar chargers I have ever bought never fit in perfectly and with the slightest amount of touch lose power until I push it in again.
I want a nice snug fit just the the cig lighter has with its own lighter thing. I absiolutely hate the give/movement these incar chargers have.
Any ideas?

Hey there, i bought an adapter and just use my usb cable that came with the phone..
Its a tight fit with just a little movement. Never looses the connection, have had no problems

Belkin Micro USB charger
I use it with this http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD2&skuno=82268. The Belkin Micro charger can be bought from much anywhere and it works very well.

car charger
I use Igo chargers, never had problem, just buy new tip when you change phone. Don't have to carry charger for every phone. They have multi charger kit, comes with home,car, &tip, & retractable cord. Love it, they fit snug, with led lite. Quig

i got one of these for 3 bucks on sale. and for the price it friggin rules!!!

I use a dual USB car charger from Griffin Technology known as the powerjolt.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerjolt-dual-universal
No other car charger fits my cigarette lighter slot as well. I think this is quite tight but can still pop out. My high tech solution is to stick a bit of card in there with the cahrger. It works perfectly and doesn't need to be wedged in very far to create a rock solid connection.

Works well, snug fit too.

The leo ´s plastic parts are covered by some kinda smooth coating. I wonder if it takes damage if you use car holders (especially the brodit one - I think I might buy this one). What do you guys say? Has anyone experiences with this?

is 500mA enough to charge the phone + use navigation or play music?

I bought this one at walmart on our way out of town one day to run my HD2 and my daughters iPhone 3G...My HD2 always overheats when I use it (the LED flashes orange and green after about 15-20 minutes) Even if I dont have anything else plugged into it.
Mine may be an isolated issue (though I dont see how)...but I dont know if I would recommend this...as overheating the battery often cannot be good in the long run.

Does this sit flush on the top of the lighter jack?...that would be the perfect solution so I could unplug the cable but leave the adapter in and still be able to close the ashtray (change drawer) lid.
...Have you had any power or overheating issues?...(see my post above)
It looks like the price in your link has gone up to 12.99...but a quick google search gave me a price of 5.99+free shipping

HD7 Desk Docks/Cradles

Extended one (with additional Battery slot) £15

They don't look bad but best to get one that has the micro-usb AND a headphone plug - that way you can attach it to your Hi-Fi, pc etc to pump the sound from!
If not then these ones from Brando look nice:
$18 + $3 P&P
$17 + $3 P&P (various colours available!)
I have always found Brando excellent and have used him for years now - I have just got the reflection free screen protector for my HD7 and it makes it easier to see outside and much smoother to the touch!

yeah good point, i don't think i've spotted one with a headphone socket yet... I wonder if we'll see docking stations with built in speakers anytime soon....

Fingers crossed - always annoys me the iPoo gets docks galore but HTC phones don't even though they have great audio capabilities!

I've bought this one: http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1230
It has well working line-out and it can charge a second battery. It looks and feels great.
BUT my PC does not recognize my HD7 in the cradle. It can be charged via USB but not synced

The description says it charges and syncs. Did you contact the company for a replacement or fix? Maybe you got a bad unit

I had a Kidigi cradle for my touch pro - you have to have the MINI-usb power adapter plugged in AND the MICRO-usb supplied with your phone plugged in to the PC for it to sync.... that way it charges and syncs at same time.

Thanks for the hint. I tried that, but it doesn't work either. Syncing via WLAN works fine.
I wrote to the support of the shop where I bought it, but I haven't got any reply so far.

I just bought one of these.
I had the equivalent for my HD2, and it's really excellent. It's got everything I need - spare battery charging bay, power connector, USB to PC connector, audio connector - the full set. A good price too.

Buyed THIS ONE yesterday.
When it will arrive I'll post my opinions and, hope, some photos.
Bye, Marco.

Wow some of those are quite nice looking.

These both look good.
I was looking at one just the other day. Still not sure which to go with.

Yeah I really like the look of that charger, does someone have a trusted site for the States? I wanna buy one, but I just don't know about some of these sites.
And the sites that do look decent, are always in the UK! What gives?!
Can someone hit me back with a link for State side website that you've personally bought from before, and that the company does exist somewhere.
Thanks yall!

Do any of these docks/cradles work with a case on?
I have the PixelSkin case for my HD7. Will my phone with the case on fit in any of these docks/cradles?

Good Day,
I presently own both the hd2 and hd7, and am not able to dock either phone while in their cases...Due to the chargers fitting so well as to promote
stability while charging. (Of course it may depend on which cradle you own/purchase.) I have 2 different style cradles, and both give the same results.
I hope this helps.

Good Day,
I have purchased 2 different style cradles...1 from mygadgetgarage (hd2/hd7) (ebay) and the other from talkietech (hd2) (also ebay). Both sites treated me excellent. Fast shipping/Great prices.

i just bought a slip in real leather case by HTC. Good thing is you can just pull up your phone without using fingers to squeeze through the side when you need to pull out the phone.

Magnetic charger from other Xperia devices?

Hi,
I recently bought a magnetic charger on eBay, and it said it was for 'Xperia devices', but it didnt connect properly with my Z2 Tablet. Do people know whether the tablet has a different connection to the other xperia devices? And if so, is there a magnetic charger for the tablet that I can buy? I'm just not able to afford the dock.
Thanks for your thoughts.

This one actually works well.

I second jismail's recommendation. It works pretty well, though the magnet is not super strong and might cause a loss of charging connection if you move the tablet around.

Got it and agree it works, but, at least to me, it seems really pricey. Not compared to a dock, but ounce for ounce, it must be about the price of gold.

To those of you who bought the magnector from amazon, has anyone got this message? I bought the full cable version and I'm using the wall adapter from Sony, but I get this message.

I have to say the magnetic charger is flakey, but I can't determine if it's the magnector or the power source or just the outer drain of the Z2T - probably a combination of all three. To start, the magnector actually pulled the Z2T circuit connection out of its body, so I have to get Sony to look at that (guess my waterproof feature is gone ). It's hard to get good contact and occasionally loses contact when sitting undisturbed. Even my 2.1A charger doesn't provide enough juice to charge unless it's shut down completely. Love the tablet, but charging is problematic.

I have the magnector and have never gotten this message. I agree, though, the charging is slow. Don't know if it's any slower than the conventional way.

I agree that the magnetic coupler is weak, but I've not found it to be flaky. I have to leave my Z2T flat and undisturbed on a surface to ensure that magnector and the tablet stay connected. Sorry to hear about the the magnector pulling out the Z2T circuitry. I'll have to check mine to see if I have this issue.

My connection is pretty strong, I can hold the tablet and it doesn't move. Wondering if I should contact amazon and have it exchanged.

[Q] magnetic charge cable

Aloha comunity,
i bought a magnetic charger cable from ebay but it does not snap correctly in place and it's a pain in the *** to connect it correctly.
since i use a case I cannot use the docking station.
Is there any cable you can recommend?
Thanks and greetings

I bought four different cheap ones from ebay. Four different styles... 3 cables and 1 usb micro adapter.
They are all complete garbage. One of them is usable as long as I don't touch or bump the phone at all while it's connected.
I've heard good things about the magnector cable but they are way more expensive. I'll stick with micro usb and the flap for the time being.

magnector is 15€ which is okay. it's a pitty that sony doesn't send one with the phone :/
charging via the usb-connector isn't an long-term option for me since i need to diasemble the case every time and heard that the flap may break or become leaky.
any other suggestions? otherwise i will buy a magnector tomorrow.
thanks and greetings

Magnector x2 is where it's at. It fits my new Devilcase with minimal plastic cutting.

Agree... Magnector x2 is worth the price. I have one since day one with my Z3c.
You can't be disappointed with it...
[emoji6]

Magnector x2 is a premium quality magnet charger but expensive.... 15€ .... and COMPATIBLE only with 3-4 covers
I SUGGEST:
2 of this 15€ ......and work well in EVERY COVER

NOT FOR THE SAME QUALITY.... i have 12 cases from ebay/amazon/other store.... not same quality!

Magnector for the win (X2 adapter or cable)
I have tried various adapters and cables and BY FAR the best ones are these:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3GK3YI
The X2 adapter is fantastic if you want to carry it with you or plug it into existing microUSB cables, but their cable (in the same listing) is just as great, and a nice, flexible cable. I'm using the Magnector X cable in the car since that's easier to snap on and keep my phone in place. Unlike most magnetic connectors, these have a lil curve that fits perfectly with the side of the phone, preventing it from sliding off as easily, and the magnets are the strongest I've encountered so far.

Hmmm, maybe. All I can say is that one of the four ebay cables I bought terminates in a connector that looks identical to the one in your image. I mean completely identical. It's also the best out of the four I bought and the only one that I actually find usable. The connection is still pretty loose though.
I'll try to find the link to the auction... [edit] here it is

100% neodymium magnet....the same to the others more blasonate connectors, at the end same force.
The problem is the more thickness of the connector.... but you can use on 100% of cases on web....same strong force but a little bit instable....I use my mag connection at home near my bed, I don't need brutal force for stay in charge...without remove my covers :good:

Review of the CHOETECH Essentials Pack

Hey everyone. I wanted to give a quick review of 3 items that came in a package to me this week from CHOETECH.

- 3Pack USB C to USB 3.0 Nylon Braid cable(1M*2+2M):
- 6 ports QC 3.0 charging station
- Stand fast wireless charger​
*** Just as an FYI. I tested all of these with my S8+. I ordered my Note 8, but like everyone else... Its on the way.
We can start with the Nylon Cable. Quality of it is great. Its actually braided and does work with fast charging. I have noticed there are a few aftermarket USB-C cords that do not support this regardless of the power brick used. I tried this with my Samsung power brick and the CHOETECH Desktop charger.
What I really liked is that this is a thick cord. Everything on this actually feels like quality.
On to the Charging Station... This one makes me happy. At work, my desk has all of my cables hidden for my multiple monitors, docking station and phone line. I do have two desktop plugs but I use one for my extra laptop and the other has to be shared for my 2 tablets and 2 phones. I brought the charging station to work and it did not disappoint.
There are 2 designated ports that allow for 3.0 charging. I have one tablet and one phone that use that. When plugged in at the same time, both said fast charging enabled. Here are the specs on this one.
Even though for some, this may not be a big deal, I actually like the stand. I don't have a place to hide this 6 USB brick, so it still looked presentable. Best part, this came with a USB-C cord. VERY cool.
Finally the Wireless Stand. I didn't get to play with this one as much as I wanted to but it was awesome. I had it on my charger for less that 20 min and had 30% juice from 15% up to 45%.
Even though I was fortunate enough to receive these from CHOETECH, I will always give my honest review on these. You're definitely getting your money's worth on these three items. Now if my Note 8 can arrive, I will update my photos with that phone.
