My phone charger broke and now it connects to the phone with a lot of difficulty, so I can hardly charge the phone. Do you happen to have any link to original charger where I can buy?
Here-
Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson...?ie=UTF8&qid=1344437610&sr=8-1&keywords=ep800
eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-So...ccessories&hash=item19ce80b4d1#ht_1477wt_1154
Just go down to any nearest Sony Ericsson service center, there you can get original charger..

When you use a charger for another device you must be sure that the Output Amperes are equal or less than the ones of the original charger
of your device because you will propably damage your device!!

no they are not all same
samsung provides 850mA current while our charger has 1A.
as our battery is 1200mAh we can give max 1.2A current to it (considering 1C discharge)
so i recommend to use any USB charger with 5V and 1A rating. apple chargers also use the same.
also buy a good company charger. dont use any china charger as they lack in overvoltage protection and all (i am not offending any chinese people in xda ).
and our PC USB port provides 5V 500mA, so we can use it also but it will take time to charge phone.
press thanks if helped.

every phone has built in charging IC and it provides high current with fast charging and when battery is about to charge full it reduces current and charges device normally so that there will not be any overcharging.
and our battery is LiPo not LiIon so we have advantages over more current draw and fast charging. also we can charge battery at ny time, it is not needed to charge it when battery is about to die to extend its life like in other batteries.
so you do not need to worry.
and my W8 original greenheart charger rating is 5V 1A

Quite wrong there.The only thing that will happen is that the phone will take longer to charge if the mAmperes are less than the original chargers.If they are more it wont have any problem or it may even charge faster depending on the internal charge controller.
Just so you keep it in mind, the mAmps a charger states, is the MAXIMUM it can provide, not the mAmps it FORCES into the device.Every device drains as much power as it is configured to drain when it was built.
Its the OUTPUT voltage you must be careful at, though every charger the last 8 years outputs 5-7 volts which is fine. :laugh:
@above
True.. The phone will only draw the power it requires even if the charger has a higher rating..

Nonsense is not a very polite word, i d prefer inaccurate.
In this case both statements are wrong.There is no manufacturer constrain when using smartphones and chargers, as long as they both have the same plug (aka micro usb).
The chargers are not actually chargers, they are power supplies.As stated above each phone only takes the amount of power its charge controller IC dictates it to.So there is no better life with samsung charger nor SE for SE phones and not combining with other devices.
Use whatever charger you can find (as long as it is of some brand) and it will do the trick.If it says many mAs(like 1000 or more) good for, you, faster charge if the phone allows it, if it says less mAs you ll just have to wait more, but the battery wont get damaged, whatever charger you use!

Why dont you grab a 70Ah charger and try and tell us your results then? :good:
In the meantime read carefully what i posted. i stated :' if the phone allows it". Meaning you can put a 2Ah charger but unless the phones charge controller allows it you cant charge in that rate.Ofc you shouldnt charge Lithium batteries with more than 1C in the first place but thats another story.
Finally i ve converted old cellphone chargers i had in a shelf to have USB output and they all work great, though they charge slower since they are 500mAh rated.

Hi everyone.
I recently got the Xperia Z and noticed the original charger packs a 1500mAh speed (which got me confused because I thought AMP referred to charging speed), but anyhow. I also bought a power bank (external backup battery) and the thing has 2 ports, 5V 1AMP and another 5V 2.1AMP. So I was wondering if the Z can take the 2.1AMP speed without damaging the battery. What do you guys think?
Thanks.
You won't harm it instantly no. Over time, yes.
The battery lives better if you charge it slowly, I charge mine with 500mA when I go to bed. I'd use the 2ma if you were really rushed.
My Stock charger is 1800mA btw. (Dock)
The phone will automatically limit the charging current (amperage), so the battery won't be charged too fast even if you use a 2A charger. I do not know at what amperage the XZ limits the current, but I suppose it's somewhere around the 1500mA of the standard charger.
On the other hand, charging with very low currents may also damage the battery. I read somewhere that prolonged use of a charger with less capacity than around 0.5c (c=the capacity of the battery; 2330mA) might be bad for the battery. Therefore it isn't recommended to only use the USB port of your computer (500mA).
So, for repeated use over long periods of time, a charger with a capacity of over 1165mA (0.5c) is recommended.
Well I don't know what to believe anymore :x
You can safely charge with almost any trusted-brand MicroUSB charger. As long as it's not broken or a cheap chinese knock-off or anything like that. It will output only as much as the phone will accept.
EDIT: 2.1AMP (as you state it) is 2100mA (milliamperes). That's it's current output. It does not refer to "speed" per se, but a battery will charge faster with a higher output charger. A 1000mAh battery will charge from 0 to 100% in one hour if you use a 1000mA charger. Or in half an hour with a 2000mA charger. That's the theory.
In reality, phones and batteries will have safety circuits that limit the charging current so that the battery won't get damaged. It simply will not charge faster than what's safe. If, say, our XZ is limited at 1500mA, then it won't let in more than 1500mA. No matter if the charger is rated at 1500mA or 2000mA. The phone will, however, accept less than 1500mA, but when the current sinks below a certain limit, the phone won't charge at all. That lower limit might be somewhere around 400mA. If your computer's USB port gives out considerably less than 500mA (which is the norm), then there might be something wrong with the port and the phone won't accept it.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S II won't charge at any higher than 700mA. No matter if you connect it to a 700mA or a 2000mA charger, it will only take 700mA and that's it. The stock SGSII wall charger is 750mA.
The XZ, having a bigger battery, will charge at higher than that. I'm guessing 1400-1500mA because the stock charger is 1500mA.

Awesome then, thanks a lot for your help
Let's face it. It's always best to go with the original charger. If you use a non standard charger the best practise is to use one that has a similar amperage. That said, my Power Bank case puts out 1amp via the dock pins, so... And it's made for the Xperia.

Ride it like you downhill it.
This might be the stupidest question i have ever asked in XDA forum but..... I really want to know the answer to make sure it won't do anything bad to my Z1.
I used galaxy note 2 charging adapter which is a bit stronger than the original z1 charger (1500mA Vs 2000mA) and found out that charging time difference is quite noticeable. i guess 500mA difference is huge.
Since I read few news that people were experiencing fire or explosion while they were charging (or something, which i don't know if it's 100percent true) i want to know if putting too much power is bad for the Z1.
the charge for z1 is 2A. You can plugin 3A, but it wont take that extra, can only accept max 2A.
Generally speaking having extra 1A wwill heat up device but wont cause fire, unless you put in 1000A then it will explode

Use whichever charger you have. Using a 2A charger will of course decrease charge time. Using a 3A charger will do nothing for you, because phone only accepts 2A if I remember correctly.

Using a 1000A or 3A charger will not make a difference. Phone will not heat up more than using a 2A charger. The phone will draw those 2A and nothing more. Unless there's a custom kernel parameter we can change to increase charging current.

That is correct. Stock supplied charger is 1.5A, at least in the scandinavian countries.
I charge my Z1 with N7 charger (2.0) and everything is O.K.
Just like guys said - Z1 can use up to 2.0 and it's perfectly safe to use it but make sure charger is good, if you use junk for 1$ you could damage your device.
If we gave 1000$ for device we can pay 10$ more for good charger.
Sent from my Z1
I only ever use the 1.5A factory charger if I'm leaving it overnight. Its too slow otherwise so I also use a 2A charger from my Asus transformer
Hey you who pretend to know it all, let me clarify
You are saying the official charge is 1.5, but also say it take 2a as well, let me ask you, why do you think the phone can only overcharge up to 2 a and not to 3a as you were denying me?
My charger say it is 2a, it is official, dont being rude and frankly deny other opinion, at least try "from my poimt of view"
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
U might have a real special packaging as it usually comes with only 1.5mA
Also snapdragon 800 supports quickcharge 3.0 which allows chargers up to 4.0mA
These chargers will release in 2014

The phone can handle it but the 1a is the suggested and anything more can damage the hardware. I have a rapid charger that will charge my battery to full in about 30 min from 0. It works on the stock kernel so it is not a custom kernel option. And the fast charge is a pc USB setting if you read the discripition.

Really? I've always heard that the phone knows only to pull 1A from the available amperage. I've always heard that using something less than 1a can damage the cord and possibly the charger itself.
Also: Using fast charge can seriously degrade your battery over time. Better to only use it when in a pinch.

Wrong So Wrong
Fact with stock kernel htc one m7 charges nearly 20 mins quicker
there are pro's and cons to this unless used at the right time in the right situation
sick of people saying it will harm it or that it is there to use only 1a
first of all the stock charger allows 500ma of charging and 500ma for the phones consumption whilst charging
when turned off it should only charge at 700ma
a flaw that was left on purpose by htc for monetary gain
holding fast charge and even full charge capabilities back widens the gap between the m7 and the m8
making people want to buy the m8 charger or better the m8
here's why and how they hold it back on it's full speed charging with !!!!!!!the stock HTC charger
Here is the explanation
The best way I have ever heard it put is like this
Where current is water
Imagine a water barrel that is being filled up at a rate of 1 liter an hour
The barrel has a over flow pipe aka battery if this pipe is only wide enough for half a liter an hour and you turn the tap filling the barrel to 10 liter an hour how much is the over flow receiving still half a liter.
So here is the big if and but
If you are using a 2.1a 5.1v ipad charger
Whilst gaming you have the CPU GPU and battery making heat and thus degrading Battery life and performance
If you turn the m7 off or have all apps closed and phone idle then this is far better than gaming with the stock m7 charger
as heat is the NO1. killer for battery depletion
As for comments about voltage of other chargers are irrelevant as the circuit in the phone limits voltage with a simple I/0 circuit if voltage is either under or over pre set parameters it will do nothing as it won't allow any flow of current at all
Unless lots bigger (BANG)
How is the current limited
Self explanatory as the charger states what it is built to supply
Conclusion is simple amps are limited by the charger plug or USB port
Voltage is not limited but safe gaurded by the phone so if your phone registers a charge with a 5.3v plug then it is fine as long as you use it sensibly
Apps are highly unreliable as they are a close prediction at best
And don't correctly include what is used by the phone
Also some current will be being stored all the time in capacitors
Fact the m7 charges quicker with higher ampage application measuring ampage will not be accurate.
The only accurate way is to time it from empty turned off
And blind people who say HTC know best do not understand the workings of any multinational corporation
By holding the fast charge back widens the gap between the m7 and m8 meaning more people will go and buy the m8 fast charger or even better the m8

Yes, it means that that charger will deliver power at 9 V (at 1.67 A) to the phone.
As for how it decides which voltage/current to use, it'll be as a function of the battery's charge level, temperature, and probably some other factors, but that's getting into some very specific settings for the phone/charger system by that point.

I agree that it might be damaging to the battery (but obviously not extremely damaging). Why else would there be the option to switch off fast charging? I've switched mine off anyway because I have no use for it as my phone charges overnight and makes no difference how quickly it gets to 100%.

I personally thought the option to disable Fast Charging was Samsungs' way of reminding us, or letting the uninformed know, that it can do it.
The generally accepted rule amongst radio control hobbyists is that provided the battery is well made, it's not the current that'll kill a battery - it's overcharging it (over 4.2V per cell on a LiPo). Provided that the charging circuit is good (and I have no doubt it is of a high quality) we shouldn't see any degradation in battery life when used with the fast charge process.
Others may chime in with more info, but that's how I understand it.

l believe the fast charge is safe for the battery as it charges it at 1C (=1hr charge) which is actually not so fast.
Here is my tip: I have an old charger to charge overnight and use the mote 4 charger only for fast charging during the day (I leave it in my bag). I'm actually lookingfor a way to make a fast charging battery bank.
So here is my question again: has anyone tried supplying 9V to the phone ?
best device in charging
its charging up the whole battery in about an hour, i really like that and the battery gives me a full day
So far right now i can talk for about an hour and play games for about an hour and leave it on overnight and all day and still have 82% left. I'm super impressed!

YOAH!!! Thats insane!
I know that the amperage on the charger is huge in its speed.
I used many custom Roms and kernels in the past on other phones with fast charge. I used several chargers and always charged much quicker with higher amperage outputs. Some were as low as 300 MA to as high as 1.2A. This is why the amperage is so high on this phones charger. The voltage is needed to push the charge quicker. Good luck finding high A charger at 9v.
My 1.2A charger i use as backup is much faster then the 500/700ma ones I have but they are all 5v and can't compete with fast charge.
Sent from my *ROOTED* Note 4 SM-N910W8
I'm also looking for a power bank that would be able to charge at
- 5V 2A,
- 5.5V (Galaxy Tab S)
- 9V (Note 4).
- with 2x18650
- able to charge itself fast too;
- charge-through (charging a device while changing itself).
i now have this ENB model, but it does not deliver 2A to Tab S (and charges at 5V not 5.5).
And it charges itself with 1A even from 2A-capable power supply.

I notice something that the note 4 does not charge fast after I installed S-View cover (original one), although an indication appeared that it is using the fast charging function.
I guessed it assume that the cover is open and charge slower. However, if I removed the S-View it charge noticeably faster.
Do you think this a bug in firmware ??
Thank you,
The so-called USB fast chargers query the device to be charged. Devices capable of fast charging at 9V DC have additional circuitry in their USB ports that the charger can detect. If the charger doesn't detect the circuitry, it falls back to 5V DC mode, like any other USB charger. Assuming the fast charger is functioning correctly, it should not over-charge an older phone or tablet that doesn't support fast charging; it will simply take as long as the original "dumb" USB charger did.
Hello! I m using a generic 2.5 mAh 5.0v Charger is it going to hurt my Battery or Mobile OR not????
You can use any micro usb charger, kernel will limit the current.
i'm using "generic" (connectIT) dual usb 2.1/3.1A charger without problem...
btw edit the thread name - charger is spelled wrong (just to help other people with searching in the future)
from the first day on my purchases using g2, more than a year.
It's common sense that higher current = more heat = faster li-ion/lipo degeneration. If you occasionally need a 2+mAh charge, it won't really hurt your battery too much. However, for everyday charging, stick with ~1mah in order to preserve your battery. I personally use an 1mah(5w) iphone charger because it's got the cleanest output out of all the readily available chargers. In my car I have a 2.1mah charger in case I need a quick top up.
Fyi, the phone will only draw a max of ~2mah regardless of what charger you use.

But as stated above kernal will limit the current???
yes the kernel will limit the charging current its ok to stick to any 5v DC charger

Yes, the phone will only draw as much current as it's designed to. You could hook it up to a 50a charger if you wanted and it would still draw less than the 2a limit regardless. The only thing that's important is the voltage which happens to be 5v on nearly all modern phones.

Hard to believe a word from you considering you can't even get the current unit right. It's amp aka A. Not mAh, which is both wrong in unit and scale (that's milliamp * hour, that's for capacity).
A typical USB BC compliant charger can supply up to 5V 1.5A, of course there are 5V 2/2.1A chargers around.
The charger only limits the maximum power a device can draw, it has nothing to do with the actual charging process if the device can't draw more than said maximum.
As for you your other baseless claims, typical Li-ion based batteries can at least charge at 1C, that is 1000mA=1A (of course this is actual charging current, which is approximately 1.2x the supplied current on a 5V charger) for a 1000mAh battery, 2A for 2000mAh battery and so forth. There's NO such thing as occasional "2+mAh" is safe. 1C is always safe and that actual number is tied to your battery capacity (5V2.5A would be perfectly safe for a 3000mAh/3.8V battery even if the phone actually took that current).

This is what happens when people can't even read right the charger label.
