With my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) you could make the phone think it was connected with an AC charger by shortening the two middle usb pins. This would make the phone charge with 1000mA instead of 500mA.
But somehow HTC uses a different approach. I shortened the two middle pins of my car charger, but the phone still 'knows' it's on a usb charger. So the middle pin tric is not working on the HTC One. Does anybody know how to make the phone think it's on a AC charger, and therefore being charged with 1000mA instead of 500mA?
I'm using this charger: http://www.hamaholst.nl/NL/29207/ipad-gen1-2-3-mini-autolader-5v-21a.html
IMO it is a bit silly shorting out pins. But it's your device you can do what you like.

Just to be clear, I shortened the pins of the car charger, not the pins of the phone.
This has already been done with many other phones (shortening the two data pins) but on the One it does not work, the phone still says USB charging...
-oeps-
I took an AC charger apart, and guess what, the two middle usb pins are shortened!
So what else tells the phone whether it's on an AC or USB Charger???

That charger would charge at 1amp either way. If your battery charge is high, nothing you do short of enabling Fast Charge will charge more than 500mAh even on AC. That's just how the battery works. From 0% to about 80%, it charges at 1amp, and when it touches 80%, even on an AC charger from the wall it will drop to 500mAh.

Yeah I read that. But as long as my car charger is recognised as an usb charger instead of an ac charger, it will never charge with 1A, even if the battery level is below the 80%

Sometimes it's the cable that needs changing. I've had perfectly good USB cables that would only charge at 500mAh and couldn't transfer data. The thicker ones are usually good for full 1amp charging

Tried different cables. This is not a new thing, with the galaxy S2 it was the same story. Some car chargers are just recognised as usb chargers. And when the phone detects the usb charger/computer charge is switches to the 500mAh max charge

That's true. But to be honest, I don't really need the auto mode, just need the higher mA to charge my phone while navigating
Offcourse I can also buy the official HTC CC C220 for about 10 euro's, but I would like to use my pico charger instead of a large charger... But looks like it's not gonna work out
So I guess the solution to this is that you need a USB cable that tells your phone it's an AC charger..

Ive came across this cool car charger and I wanted to share it with my fellow streakers. Ive been using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-9586428-1608559?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product&a=B003JP7GN2 all in one car charger and I must say I love this thing. It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.
No ones willing to give this a try? Lol
It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.
comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.
I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.
Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

It's strange. I have a decent 24awg cable that charges other android phones/devices in the house just fine. When I use it with my Z, however, it charges very slowly.
I'm looking at ordering a few more cables to try out, as I need a slightly longer cable than the one supplied, due to socket/bedside table placement (I don't want extension cables trailing across the room!).

There is a Nokia Charger that has a very long cord. I love it. It is rated at 1200mAh but charges as fast as the bundled charger.
Im currently experiencing that problem. Before, USB is really fast...from close to empty to 100% in less than 2 hours...recently though, it sort of degrades.
Now, my dock charger is faster than my USB charger.
I tried other chargers and cables too(from SONY too and 1 LG) but it seems its not the charger.
It could be software bug or worse...the Micro USB socket is broken.
I'll try flashing clean fware first to eliminate software bug...I'll let you guys know.

I thought this was just an xperia problem in general. With most.chargers I cant use the phone or it will still drain, and finding the right.combinationof cable and wallwart has been a matter of trial and error. I have an hp block with 2.5 amps output, that combined with a sturdy lg cable is the only mix that charges at a reasonable speed and lets me use the phone at all without continuing to decrease batttery. I had the same issue on several stock firmwares and 2 custom roms, so I donth think its an issue with monx rom.
Also: there is nothing special about the branded charger that came with it, it comes down to output and a quality cable. The stock.charger was **** for me as well, I took it apart and there is no chip or special hardware in it or anything, its just a cheap charger with staneard 1.5 amps out and a decent usb cable.
i used the charger from galaxy s4 ( 2A) to charge my xperia z ultra but it didn't charge it faster than the sony stock charger ( 1.5A). Weird. it seems that the phone doesn't allow more amps to be transfered. thats ashame cause if you use the phone while charging it doesn't charge almost at all. the consumption is higher than the charge rate
I know this topic is old, but I'm experiencing the same problem and haven't found any way out, and I think there's no point in starting a new thread while this one hasn't been locked. Has anybody figured out the reason and/or any solution?
About midnight, I connected my Xperia to the charger. It still had about 15% of battery then. And at 7am I realized it had only 65%. So, it took 7 hours to charge it about 50%. Does it really have to last that long? More than a half a day to recharge the battery fully, providing I wouldn't use the phone at all?
Currently, I use a Nokia charger, which gives 5.0V/1200mA (at least they say so and I have no way to verify it), but using the original one, with the cord it was supplied with, changes nearly nothing. Using a USB port of my computer instead of any charger doesn't help at all.
I currently use CM 12.1, but I had used stock ROM and had experienced the same problem then.
Any ideas, please? This is really driving me insane.
I have the same problem. It's not problem of battery for sure. Battery drain normalny, just can't charge. Sometimes I can charge my phone in 2h but typically it's about 10 hours....
Edit: in accubattery app I can See that electric current when charging is jumping from - 700mA to +800mA :|
for everybody who have problem with charging, I have some suggestion.
First, do a clean install of your desired ROM that have fast charge ability on the kernel (like RR or Linegae OS) and turn on the fast charge option. If your kernel doesn't have this ability, no problem. Just do a clean install to make sure everything is good.
Second, buy a high quality original Sony charger. Mine is UCH10 5.0V/1800mA.
Last, use high quality USB cable that has short and thick cable.
With this, my device took 1.5 hour charging time from 4% to 95%. But device get more heat during charge.
Hope this tips help you guys.
Sorry if my english is bad.
Hi all,
Can anyone point me to a known car charger which fast charges the G2? (Preferably not a $30 charger)

It's my understanding that you can make one by shorting the data pins in a USB cable, but just remember to never, ever use that USB cable on a PC or else you'll damage the port.
I, too, am frustrated by LG's attempt to thwart fast-charge via normal USB cables. Once we have custom kernels, this will likely be resolved. I used leankernel on my GNex and had a fast-charge widget that would let me go from 0 to 100% in about 45 minutes.

This makes some sense as my previous phone was a GNex running CyanogenMod with Franco Kernel. 3/4 of my previously working "fast" chargers only slow charge my G2.
Strangely, when using LG's USB cable plugged into my laptop's USB allows fast charging.
I use a Palm car charger, it's the best one I've ever found, and they can usually be found for around $10. It will fast charge the G2, tested and confirmed.
Okay, I take it back, it doesn't stay on fast charging. After a minute, the slow charge notification pops up. But this is the fastest car charger that I've ever found, and I looked around for a while.
The G2 is capable of an even faster fast charge than what we are used to, and that's why other home chargers also show slow charge. It's not really slow, just not as fast as it could be.

I bought this at Walgreen and seems to charge just as good as at home. 10 bucks the blue led is a little much at night tho..

Yes, you are correct. But it seems that they are going "the extra mile" to make it more difficult...
For example, when I use my GNex USB adapter, it says "slow charge"... When I use an Apple wall charger, "slow charge". Unless I use LG's cable. I can't get fast charge to work with anything at all unless I am using LG's cable. Even then, it may or may not work with the non-LG adapter.
Can't wait for a kernel that has fast charge enabled. With the wireless storage feature of this phone, there's no reason to use MTP anymore, IMO.
So is it the cable or the 1.8a "base" that enables us to fast charge?

I'm 90% sure this has to do with the cable. Most premium USB cables are 24awg/28awg (power/data). The LG OEM cable is 20awg/28awg, and I'm guessing the phone detects the voltage drop in order to determine slow vs fast charge. FWIW, going from 20awg to 24awg yields an increase in resistance of 2.5x. I may be off base on this being the underlying cause, but I cannot think of any reason why I can fast charge on my 2.1A car charger only with the OEM cable, just like with the OEM wall charger. I'm going to hunt for a 20/28 USB cable to test this theory. In another thread, I said I was able to fast charge with regular USB cables on my car charger but I couldn't replicate it today. Phone would slow charge in all instances of USB cables, modified or not, on my 2.1A car charger.
yes, the cable is a difference.
other cables only show as slow charge with the same adapter.
now where to find these lg usb cables

Yep...I know. I'm just saying that the phone doesn't popup that notification saying that it's slow-charging when I use that charger.
Hello.
I dont know why but the last 3 days my phone charges extremely slow.
I dont know if its the hardware of the software.
I did not make a major change in the phone or something.I dont know why it charges so slow.
Charging rate is : 1% in 4 and a half minutes....
I cant figure out why.
I was in a trip and i got the charger with me (The output was rated 220 volts so no problem with the charger)
BUT the cable may be damaged.
Softwarewise i have no idea what i did to affect the charging .
It may be a bug or a calibration issue.Because sometimes for example it climbs from 29 or 28 % to 30
Please tell me what you think thank you.

I know but Sony's is designed thick so it handles the 850mah that's a pretty big load and when i used another cheapo cable out of ebay it charged bery slow.(I ordered the same cheapo because it broke and it was pretty nice to have a 2m cable)
If there is a lesson to be learnt: other than casing or screen protectors (non-electronics components of the device), I don't buy [cheap] electronics stuff off ebay - one usually gets what one pays for.
I got a 3-pin plug with USB connector labelled at 5V to charge my radio (good thing I did not use it for a device) a few months ago off ebay - my radio was fried

Not the cable but the 3 pin plugs which connects (USB) to micro-usb on the radio. The cable is the same one which I charge by plugging into the computer.
Same principle as our phone - charge by plugging into the computer or use the same cable connected to a 2 or 3 pins which is then plug into AC.
These pin plugs needs to charge at 5V (as computer). The one I bought was advertised as 5V but obviously it was not.
I then bought another radio and found an old phone AC charger - works faultlessly.

The cable has nothing to do with the voltage :/ the transformer outputs the voltage and current needed to charge the device so you might your radio fried by a crappy transformer.

think you misunderstood - NOT the cable. It's the 3 pin plug:

Ohhh yeah i got it now when you said 3 pin cable i thought of a micro usb without the data + and - cables
Ever since I bought my SP I had it underclocked at 1566Mhz and Airplane Mode whenever it charges
and no problem at all

Underclocking would be a good idea but airplane mode wont benifit me since ill lose incoming call.As for the charging issue it was solved by getting Greenify to kill certain apps that used so much juice that would not let the phone to charge
Oh I forgot to consider the fact you guys run on Bloated ROMs my bad
Anyways hope I helped
Can anyone please tell, what type of charging/data cable we get with Galaxy Note 8 (stock charging cable)? Is it Type C USB 2.0? Coz i want to get one spare charging cable for my phone to us it in car with anker car charger. I have found one online of Tronsmart, Type C cable, USB 2.0. Will it be okay or should i go for USB type 3.0, since as per GsmArena, note 8 port supports usb type C 3.1. I only need cable for charging, not for (fast) data transfer, so will usb type C 2.0 be okay? Or should i get usb 3.0?
Thanks!

For charging, it doesn't matter. USB 2.0 or 3.0 doesn't make the phone charge faster or slower, it only affects data transfer speeds. Getting a Type-C USB 2.0 will still be compatible with fast charging, I believe.
Also, as far as I know, it's USB 3.0 cable that comes with the device, because my transfer rates are ridiculously fast over a USB 3.0 port.

Thanks for ur reply.
What i have heard, samsung stock charging cable is 2.0, not sure tho. Recently i have purchased tronsmart Type C cable 2.0 as a spare cable. And it is thicker than stock samsung charging/data cable (see the attached image). It also shows same charging time as stock cable.
I will use it as a spare cable for charging in car with anker QC 3.0 charger.

Thickness does not always translate to higher performance.

Yeah, but was just showing how thick it was compared to stock cable. Anyway, so far it is performing nice. I only use it with car charger (whenever needed, and i don't need to charge my phone in car on daily basis, normally i charge my phone to full in morning before leaving for office, and it easily takes me for one full day), otherwise i charge my phone with stock charger and cable.

I am sure the Samsung Stock cable is USB 2.0
im using braided usb type C cables/less risk for pinch points.

Yes, Anker is a good brand. One of the best. But since it was costly and i only needed a spare cable to use in car (and that too not very often), so went for a cheap one, but of good quality.
Tho i have anker car charger with QC 3.0 fast charging.

more reliable than the stock cables that seem fragile.
