Fake charger? - One (M8) Accessories

I bought a spare TC P900-EU charger for my One M8 (European version) from an eBay seller. The text on it is arranged a bit differently from my TC P900-EU charger that came with the phone.
Here's a picture showing the original charger on the left, and the spare one on the right:

The HTC logo on the other side of the charger is also just a bit bigger on the eBay one.
Do these differences mean the one on the right is fake? Can there be different designs of the same charger?

NOT the same charger

As the HTC part # clearly shows in the pictures, the charger on the left has a part # of "79H00129-00M" and the one on the right has a part # of "79H00126-00M."
Since they both have the same model number (TC P900-EU), they should be interchangeable (and to the average consumer, "the same thing") however manufacturers will often revise a product for various reasons (reliability, durability, obsolescence, lower manufacturing cost, etc) and when this occurs you will see the actual PART number or revision # change.

Charge two phones with one charger?

Anyone know if there is any sort of splitter device, that will allow me to use one charger to charge two phones with miniUSB sockets?
Need to charge a Magic and Touch Dual but have limited plug sockets.
Thanks
Not exactly what I was looking for but these seem to do the job.

A couple of similar products can be found on ebay.
I'm a bit wary of USB plugs, as I have had a cheap one explode next to me. No injury sustained but I was lucky, any closer and I would be pulling plastic pieces out of the side of my head.
The search continues ...
Yea iGo. They sell universal chargers and a dual splitter. Its very cheap.
motorola had a dual mini usb splitter sold as an accessory. its designed to let you charge a phone and one of their bt headsets that also used mini usb.
However, i think its a switching unit, it supplies power to the phone side (they're labeled) first until its full, then switches to the other side.

[Q] Charging Issues

I've been having issues with my new Xperia Z not charging at all from any charger whilst it is under any kind of load. This includes browsing the web with Chrome, or more importantly, using GPS and Google Maps. I've tried many chargers, both car and wall ones, official and 3rd party, which work perfectly with my old Nexus 4, that will charge briefly, then allow the phone to actively discharge until I cease any activity on it.
I returned one yesterday for a replacement just in case it was a hardware fault, but this one does exactly the same thing!

Is this "expected behaviour" for this phone, or am I doing something really wrong here? I did briefly have an HTC One before I took it back and exchanged it for this Xperia Z, and this one didn't seem to have an issue charging whilst in use, but it did take upwards of 5 hours to charge even when turned off.
If this is expected behaviour for the XZ, then I'm either going to have to call Customer Services at Carphone Warehouse for a return authorisation code (since it's already been exchanged once, and you're only allowed one change with a sim-free device) or if they refuse, sell it on Ebay.

I don't think is fake.. My phone looks same
Like the amaunt of screws how much of them is there
Looking at my phone two of the screws on my phone are at a different place then the ones in your image. The left one on top is slightly deeper than the one in the image. The one near the NFC contact or whatever is it is on the left sight is not down there on my phone, it's right beside the battery left.
But does that mean it's fake? I really don't know. Should have asked for the serial number instead
I have IMEI but they could easy find one print itt out and stick it ok
Thats why i censored it
i was not talking about the IMEI but if you have the IMEI number check that
It turns out its real but it is i9300 not i9305

Don't buy the fast wireless charger with S/N RF7J30ZK36BCIS

It's working and it has built fan, but it's fake, not original not genuine!
I have bought one from Gumtree because I assumed it's used one, and never check until today, I bought another one today, it's free from samsung pre-order.
Totally different, bad quality, the fake one looks like very older, can be scratched easily.

How about a side by side picture? Help us spot the differences?
The pictures are from G+, but same as mine,
The fake one doesn't have the QUICK START GUIDE, just a paper in the box, looks like used even brand new

Battery replacement

Hi, I had a little accident with my maze recently. Now I need to replace phone's battery but the problem is I don't know what battery to use. I've searched through loads of batteries and the voltage which is 3.85 does match the capacity which is close to 4000mAh is okay too, but the battery connectors don't seem to be exact. Anyway I hope someone can help me and possibly future users aswell!
Can you post the information on the body of your Maze Alpha battery? It would be helpful to post images of the battery and the connector.
same problem
hi, ive got the same problem, and have to remove the battery but can't source a new one, the battery is 6.5 mm wide, 8.6 mm long and 4 mm thick, i've attached links to photos of the connecter, thanks in advance for any help
