USB car charger. Any hints ?

I'm looking for USB car charger for HD2 (US T-Mobile HD2) ... the one which has USB port in it where you put another USB cable. Here is what I'm looking for.

I'm NOT looking for something like this

Here is the problem ... I have one car charger like 1. And it says 5V 1000mA, but it DOES NOT charge my HD2 ! LED light on charger is green, LED light on HD2 is red, HD2 "Settings->Power" says "Charging", but it does not ! I use USB cable which came with HD2 from T-Mobile. I'm able to charge from USB WALL charger with this cable fine. I also tried different USB cable - it works with WALL charger and does not work with car charger
My question is ... USB car charger for HD2 ... what specs it has to have ?
What am I doing wrong here ?

Just a guess but there is a setting which stops the phone charging when connected to a pc via usb. Maybe it thinks its connected to a pc?
Goto settings --> about phone --> battery
and make sure "when phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a pc" is unchecked.
If that doesnt help my second guess would be that the usb charger is dead.
Just search for "car usb adapter" on ebay, loads come up.
According to spoon charge (download from these forums) my hd2 uses a max of 900mA when charging, so 1000mA should be fine.
Hope that helps.

yeh I got one and it's fine.
I got a spare too so if u ever need one ...

Do use a USB car charger with higher current capacity (say 2000mah). avoid cheap (chines) chargers, boasting high current capabilities.

I ordered the HTC C200 because messing with the battery just because I could save a few bucks is not worth it IMHO. I cost me like 15 Euros and if anything happens to my battery I can blame HTC themselves.
btw the C200 is like the one in the first picture!

that's the original HTC C200 I'm talking about, and regarding those cheap chargers you can order from china or somewhere can damage your precious phone, it's not that pricey!

Car Charger Mod
If anyone is still wondering why their aftermarket car charger doesn't charge their HD2 properly, the two centre points on the USB socket need to be soldered together.
I found the information on post 16 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670702&page=2

Now that I've been using this charger on my HD2 for a couple of days now, I thought I'd give an update - not all USB leads will charge your phone when it's running under load.
I tried a Nokia lead and while it charged the HD2 with bluetooth running, as soon as I started the GPS (tomtom) as well, the battery started to discharge.
Then I tried a Sony Ericsson mini USB lead (supplied with my X1) with a mini-USB to micro-USB converter lead from ebay, and my original HD2 lead. These charged the battery with bluetooth and GPS running together.
The Sony Ericsson X1 mini-USB lead is much thicker than the HD2 and Nokia leads.

USB OTG Cable host mode while charging anyone try this accessory?

I've searched and never seen an actual 'buyable' product linked on the forums so if this is a dup, I apologize.
Anyone try one of these and see if you can have your Nexus in host mode and charge at the same time?
Is the only option for the female Micro USB port to bring more charge to a usb device plugged in and not to bring charge
to the Nexus itself?
Two scenarios would make this ideal for me:
1.) using my usb xbox controller to play games yet still keeping my tablet charged
2.) using a usb thumb drive to play a movie while still keeping my table charged
I think this would be pretty cool if it worked but I don't know the technical details on if it can be done with our Nexus 7's:

Looks like it's meant for providing power to the USB device you connect (e.g.. external hard drive) instead of to the Nexus7...

The eBay description says it provides charging the the micro-USB port. Only way to know is to buy it and try it out

I have a OK Galaxy Tab in the dash of my car, and use the headset port for music, didn't want to upgrade without seeing one in person.
Hopefully some sort of dock solution will make Otg and charging possible and I can upgrade. Thanks!

OTG and Charging is mutually exclusive, the OTG cable triggers the USB controller to send power out to a device, not receive power.
the pogo docks on the bottom of the device are also impossible to charge from as the nexus 7 has only been given one charging circuit, and that is the same one that OTG disables.
The only way to achieve something like this would be a physical battery hack where you splice in a charging circuit direct to the battery, without frying the phone maybe some unidirectional resistors, so that it can be simultaneously charged whilst powering the device.
I'm 99% certain of this information, and this is not to say someone might hack a kernel together one day

you might be able to install one of them batteries you can just set it on a charging pad and it will charge

I have a ZAGG battery pack I'm planning on trying this with and I will report back I also have that same pad and I can get a fairly cheap charger to place on the matt as you say. Either way that wouldn't be very convenient, but I'll check it out

Wrong. https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/4c1c965b168bc4488ef66889e1c8933bc1b3de46 for an example on Galaxy S2/Note
As to whether the adapter linked is a proper OTG ACA (they're VERY hard to find) and whether the grouper supports OTG ACA is unknown. It's something a kernel developer can probably implement.

Thanks Entropy512, I can see it working on other devices, that gives me hope... I might rig something up myself now, I've wanted to take a cheap usb keyboard plastic leather cover, and build in an extra battery, card reader and usb hub, now this might be theoretically possible

I can confirm that simply splicing a standard OTG cable into the port and plugging in a power cord will not work. I thought I'd utilize the empty socket from where the rear camera was supposed to go, and try to fit the OTG-to-microSD set-up inside of the Nexus. I bought a salvaged USB/headphone port from a damaged Nexus off of Ebay for $1 and the smallest microSD adapter I could find. With the use of a ribbon cable from an old laptop, some trimming, and some REALLY careful soldering I was able to make it work... sorta. Stickmount sees the card and everything runs great, until you plug in a power cord. Then, it disables the microSD adapter, and even though Stickmount says it's there, no files are visible. Also, the Nexus won't charge with this arrangement.
It might work with a different set up, but simply mimicking the OTG cable will not allow a Stickmounted volume and when the charger is plugged in.
(BTW - To make everything fit, I had to use a Dremel to grind away some of the mid-frame area around the rear camera space. It's a tight fit, but keep in mind that until you have a spare mid-frame, like I do, you'll obviously void your warranty.)

Same here, only I went a step further and added a 36k resistor from the ID line to ground and that didn't do anything either.

Hope all your work ends in success.
I would like to put this device as a car Entertainment system later. But charging and USB otg is a must.
NEXUS 7

It's a nice method to use in a couple of years your old Nexus 7 as a seedbox

ANY way to charge 2012 nexus 7 wirelessly?

Do you guys know if there is any way to charge our tablet wirelessly? Is Qi charger the only way? And it's not supported for the 1st gen, am I correct?
I really hate wires...

You have to mod to add a Qi wireless charging coil or a palm touchstone coil to charge wirelessly.
Or you can buy a pogo dock and use it to charge, it's close enough to wireless.
Beamed from my Grouper

There's no such thing as wireless charging, you still need the wires (going to the desktop part of the charger) and when you use that method you don't have any choice where you put the device when it's on charge.
If you just plug a cable into the device you can plonk it down anywhere the cable will reach.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Nexus-7-hack-adds-wireless-charging-voids-warranty_id37573

The short answer is of course no. Personally, I would try to opts away from attempting any mods like this; wireless charging is still; in it's infancy and is "a generation newer" than this Nexus 7 version.

WTF!!

I can't decide if you are just trolling or if you really are clueless.
In case you're serious, learn some basic physics before you shout your mouth off.
Right now - today - the only way to 'wirelessly' charge a device is to have an induction coil in it and put it right next to another induction coil which is connected BY WIRE to the mains. So while it's handy to be able to do that you can't just set it down anywhere and expect it to charge.
If it were possible to set up charging from a telephone mast miles away you would be dead from cancer (from the radiation) or cooked long before the device was charged up.
Take your own advice.

Hi, simple math problem here. The cost of a nexus 7 1st gen (around USD 130.00 used on ebay), plus getting a coil from another device (USD 25.00 if you dont have it) maybe a broken palm pre or a touchpad on ebay, also a touchstone charger (maybe USD 25.00 on ebay) (you could also get a QI coil from another device, but then you will need the QI charger, and thats more money), That's USD 180.00, plus the shipping and the trouble of doing the mod and maybe breaking the damn thing. Let's say USD 200.00, the new nexus is USD 229.00 (IS IT WORTH IT).

You are wrong. You can wireless charge your phone (if it's capable of doing it) from the QI charger to the phone itself.
We know the QI charger must be connected in order to give power, but YES you can wireless charge your phone. I personally like to plug the damn thing, but is nice to just place your phone on the QI and let it charge by doing nothing else.

You've missed my point, sure there's no wire connecting the phone and the charger but you still have to put the phone physically 'on' the charger plate. I have a HP Touchpad and Touchstone and it's great to be able to just sit it down on the TS to charge but if I'm sitting on the sofa using it and it's low battery I have to stop using it and put it back on the TS charge it up, or plug a cable into it. In the real world you can call it wireless if you like but it's still got to be connected.

I did not missed your point, you were just to hard with him!!! JAJAJAJA, it's called wireless since there's no cable from the cradle to the phone, and of course it has to be connected to something, take care!!!.

[PROBLEM] Extremely slow charging.

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.

try experimenting with different cables and adapters to determine of the problem is the phone or the charger

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.

USB port and screen problem.

I just got a Nexus 6 (my friend sold it to me for less than 200 bucks, I bought it because I know it's in good conditions since he takes well care of his stuff) and I realized that the USB port it's a "little" different because when I try to connect a USB cable, it doesn't fully fits and it gets disconnected very easily.
I'd like to know if this is a common thing about Nexus 6 and if there's a "special" USB cable that I should use. My fried didn't give the stock charger because he lost it, instead he gave three covers.
Currently I charge the N6 with my Z2 USB and charger.
So please tell me, do I need to buy a special USB and charger that fully fits in the USB port?
Also, I noticed another thing, and the bottom of the screen I (barely) see a little line that is a bit (just a bit) more bright than the rest of the screen.
Is this an "issue" of the Nexus 6?
I gave to say that I changed the ROM, modified DPI, reduced navigation bar size and other things, but I really doubt that's the problem.
I'll attach some pictures so you can understand those issues.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks is advance.

For the charging port issue. No, its not common nexus 6 problem. And you got it from your friend so maybe the cable he used as it wasn't stock messed up the port and now its damaged.
And for the brighter nav bar and status bar too most probably. Its burn in common amoled issue. You can say that its common with nexus 6 screens. Mine has some pretty bad burn in on nav and notification bar too. I bought a used device too. Got it with burn in. Luckily its not getting bad than it already is. Been using it for over 2 months now. So id say get your port fixed and enjoy this beautiful phone. Cheers

What kind of problem could the USB port have? I don't understand how it could get damaged by using another USB cable.

I said maybe. Because there no specific cable for nexus 6 and i tried different chargers, other than stock. All worked fine.

I had the same feeling since I got my N6 new in February last year, you can wiggle the usb cord side to side and it sometimes feels like it catches while it's offcenter. I haven't found a specific cable that doesn't do it I've tried an old Moto Razr cord, N7 cord, N5 cord, N6 cord, Samsung 5th gen cord, PS4 controller cord, random cord with a little chrome dot on it all wiggly. Very shoddy compared to my Nexus 5 I had before. I figured it'd break eventually but is hasn't thankfully *Knock on wood*

So you still have this issue?

I just got a Nexus 6 (my friend sold it to me for less than 200 bucks, I bought it because I know it's in good conditions since he takes well care of his stuff) and I realized that the USB port it's a "little" different because when I try to connect a USB cable, it doesn't fully fits and it gets disconnected very easily.
I'd like to know if this is a common thing about Nexus 6 and if there's a "special" USB cable that I should use. My fried didn't give the stock charger because he lost it, instead he gave three covers.
Currently I charge the N6 with my Z2 USB and charger.
So please tell me, do I need to buy a special USB and charger that fully fits in the USB port?
Also, I noticed another thing, and the bottom of the screen I (barely) see a little line that is a bit (just a bit) more bright than the rest of the screen.
Is this an "issue" of the Nexus 6?
I gave to say that I changed the ROM, modified DPI, reduced navigation bar size and other things, but I really doubt that's the problem.
I'll attach some pictures so you can understand those issues.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks is advance.

I read once that a dirty USB port (dust, fabric buildup, etc.) can cause this problem with the cable.
I would suggest you clean it thoroughly (maybe with a plastic or wood toothpick to avoid damaging it)

I have the same problem with my USB port , I got my Nexus 6 about a year ago, and even the stock cable is loose, cleaning the port does help a bit. I have not found a solution.

TYVM this video helped me fix my loose port

mine wiggle side to side but charge ok, should I bother by it? try insert scotch tape and fish nothing out, looks clean,
are all Nexus 6 usb port wiggle side to side?

Just to give another perspective. My Nexus 6 started to have USB port problem last couple of months. Didn't drop it and used only the USB cable that comes with the phone most of the time. Long story short. Eventually things gotten worse, tried every remedy I can find in the internet but nothing works. Gave up when it won't charge even when I tilt the cable to the side, went to get the USB port replaced around $50. Now I can use all the cables i bought when new cable would only charge fine for a few days.
