anyone having problems with theirs? when I plug in my phone it slows down and is almost unresponsive. if I plug the micro USB cable that came with my phone into this charger it thinks it is plugged into the computer. it says it is a 1A charger so I don't know what the problem is. I am definitely sending it back but wasn't sure if I should order another. I only paid 20 bucks for the charger, cable, and car charger through att but wondering if I should just order the blackberry chargers off Amazon for cheaper.
I also have the same issue..

Hi,
I also have the same issue. Did anyone has any resolution or should I return the charger?
Thanks
Not sure if it was the same charger, but I had to return one I got from AT&T a couple days later as the touchscreen stopped responding properly while it was connected. Swipe would jump all around and it couldn't track my finger correctly. No issues with the stock charger and cable or any generic cables plugged into iPhone converters since.
Ok just checked the AT&T site, it was the Zero charger. That thing is junk.

Does anyone know of a wall charger that I can get from Amazon.com? I think I might have found one, but I want to make sure it works first. It only has one review, and it says it makes the screen stop functioning while charging.
http://www.amazon.com/Rapid-Travel-...9BKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287094538&sr=8-1
Has anyone purchase this or another one? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could link me to it.
Thanks.
I won't comment on the product you posted since I have no experience with it and don't want to give you any false info.
I use this charger with my Captivate:
http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Or..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1287110435&sr=1-1
It's a Blackberry wall charger without a detachable USB cable. You will have to slightly trim a little plastic off of the MicroUSB plug shoulder, but that takes all of 10 seconds and is going to be somewhat common with most MicroUSB plugs aside from the one you got with your phone. When my phone is plugged into the Blackberry wall charger, it is fully functional and screen is usable, for what it's worth...
I use a bunch of different chargers with my Captivate. I have the Blackberry one at home, I have a Monoprice charger combo at work, a Logitech MicroUSB charger for their mice that will also work with my phone, and random off-brand car chargers purchased at Fry's. All the above will charge my phone without ill effect. I'm sure whatever you buy will work...
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem..
Everytime I connect a car charger, it charges for a second then disconnects itself, the charger is still plugged in, and the engine is running. The red light on the charger is on too. I'm not saying this is a ROM problem or anything at all, but its the second charger I've had that does this, I don't suppose anybody knows a fix if it happens on other devices too?
Is this an official HTC charger?
I know it sounds silly, but most cheap unbranded car chargers cause all sorts of problems. It's usually that they don't short the two data pins, so that the phone thinks it's plugged into a PC. It will then only charge at half rate (500mA) in line with usb standards.
Also, the charger may not even be able to handle a 500mA output, which would suggest why your phones sees the charger, measures the output, sees it as insufficient, and stops the charging. Is there a sticker on the charger starting current output? They can still be misleading though.
An official HTC car charger (just like the mains wall charger) will have it's data pins sorted out. The phone will detect this, and switch to mains charging mode, and draw the full 1000mA. You may have noticed that your phone will charge twice as fast off a mains wall charger than it will from being plugged into a computers usb port.
Trust me I've thrown out about 3 of the cheap ones! Even charging at 500mA, your phone will still not be getting enough juice to do google maps navigation with GPS.
Hope I've helped.

It's a cheap eBay one, but I've bought from the company in the past...when I had an iPhone And it worked perfectly. The first charger had a label saying it's max was 500mA. That lasted about 20 minutes..Need it so much more recently because of my battery drain problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996938.
I had no idea HTC sold official ones (seems I lack common sense), will give them a go, at least then I'll get a decent warranty if it doesn't work...

If its a USB charger try a different USB lead. When my Desire arrived brand new the lead would only work properly when I bent the lead round the back of the phone otherwise it would start a charge (LED would light up red, phone says charging) but the battery % would never get any higher. Bought a new official HTC lead and problem solved.
Are there any risks to using a non-Samsung battery charger?
Tried an HTC charger the other day and phone wouldn't charge ("Battery Low" message starts blinking), so I pulled the plug on it quickly in case I might damage the battery.
Thanks.

I would recommend quality ac adapters. Also, look for ones pushing at least 1A, if not 2.1A. The regular 450mAh chargers just won't cut it with the Note 2.
More than you want to know about chargers in one nice blog!
I've used a T-Mobile branded wall charger with a newegg micro usb cable and it seems to work fine. I've also used a usb car charger with the same newegg cable and no issues.
hopefully not, since the one that came form the tmobile note ii is horrible, literally falls out with a simple touch of the phone
Hello,
I'm trying to find a car charger that will work right with my One. So far I've tried two different 2-USB port car chargers and both 2.1A chargers and I've gotten an error of "Slow Charging" on my one. I've tried various chargers I had from before when I had an iPhone and they are giving me the same warning. Is there a charger that is known to work well with the One?
Thanks,
Tim
Try using a different USB cable as some of them have different pin configurations. I am using http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-Output-Simul-Port-Charger-Built-/dp/B0080AWCTY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1373316550&sr=8-4&keywords=anker+car+charger this Anker car charger and I have never got any messages. Although every charger does charge the One slowly. If you leave the screen on and use the phone (like ingress or navigation) the phone looses charge while charging.
Hi, i'm using this one for myself
Two USB ports and charges pretty fast
Also works at home

I just went through this as well and have solved it by buying the HTC vehicle charger. You can check your phone charging in the car by going into "Settings" and then to "Power". When the phone is plugged in it will indicate charging either by USB (slow) or AC which is faster.
I have several car chargers including 2.1 amp models and every single one would only go to USB charging mode. Another quick way to tell if you're in USB charge mode is that the screen will turn on when you plug in the charge cable. In AC charge mode the screen stays blank when you plug in.
I picked up the HTC single port USB charger online at Amazon for around $10 bucks. Plugged it in with my existing USB cable and boom, AC mode. Model of the charger I believe is C200 (pn 25531) and it comes with a coiled charger cord as well. They also have a dual port charger which is the C300 but I haven't tested that one.
I also feel a little more comfortable using the HTC charger as I know it's tested and sanctioned by HTC. Not that I haven't used a lot of really good in-car USB chargers by other manufacturers but in this case, the HTC charger is doing the job and was inexpensive. Cheers!
Thanks for the info, I'll check it out. I like having two USB ports, but it's pretty rare I charge both my Blackberry and One at the same time so I'll probably just get the single port. I see it on Amazon for less than $6, whereas the dual port is $25!

You're using the two port one? I just didn't want to pay so much extra to have a two port charger when I can get the one port for so cheap. Also, I did just discover that while running ARHD GE I don't get the error, so it seems to only be the Sense related error, but either way I ordered the HTC charger from Amazon, thanks!

I use Avantek. This little guy did an excellent job. With its combination of power ports and USB plugs it works perfectly for everything from iPads to radar detector. Charges my phone as fast as my home charger and always gives full charge to my One when I'm using the navigation app. FYI I found it on Amazon.
I buy from Amazon
Only have had my phone for 3 months but I have only used the HTC charger and cable one time. The charger got extremely hot when I charged my phone, since that first time I have used a samsung galaxy tab charger and samsung galaxy tab 6' usb cable. I have a 2.1 amp dual charger from pepboys in my truck. Phone charges quickly and does not overheat or any of the other issues i've heard of on here. I just chalk it up as samsung having good chargers and usb cables.
See my post regarding fast charging for specifics on the electrical damage in a car and the value of having a good charger:

Is a fast USB car charger harmful?
On that note. Monoprice.com offers great chargers at a great price. Guaranteed to charge at stock speeds. Great internal parts and quality control at near eBay pricing. I've bought many many of their products over the years and never has it once failed in me.
Alternatively, and unpractically, buy stock chargers.

The best car charger that I've found is from TechMatte. They have a black one and a white one, and I use the black one. It charges pretty quickly, and was only $8 to purchase, which was not bad at all for a high quality charger.
Looking for some help with the official Nexus Wireless Charger, which my husband uses (used) with his Nexus 5.
My husband was moving his bedside table and forgot to unplug the wireless charger from the wall first. He ended up bending the pins and they can't be fixed. The USB cord and the actual QI Portion of the charger itself are fine, they work when they're plugged into my wireless charger, it's just the wall outlet that needs to be replaced.
We've tried plugging it into the myriad of other wall adapters we have that have come with other devices, but they all result in that little red light coming on which indicates inadequate power.
I've just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Google. They used to sell just the charger accessory but it's no longer available for purchase and they don't have any more in stock, and the charger was purchased JUST over a year ago so the limited warranty is shot on it.
I'm assuming we are probably screwed and will have to just suck up the cost of buying another, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any wall outlet adapters that would work as a replacement.
Thanks in advance.

I would use the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo.../hands-best-fastest-cheapest-nexus-5-t2729066
I used it with mine and it worked fine. The main thing on the Nexus Charger is it wants 2A of current. I'd say about 80% of those you'll run across will usually output 700mA-1A far less than needed. That one above will be good and if the same accident happens again they're not that expensive to replace.
