Hi I just bought on Amazon a EU AC Adapter for Kindle:
http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1329821708&sr=1-2-catcorr
I would like to use it with my kindle fire. But I am confuses a little bit.
On the original Kindle Fire Power Adapter I read this details:
Original US AC Adapter:
AC Input 100 - 240V~, 50-60 Hz, 0,3 A
DC Output : 5V , 1.8 A
Amazon EU AC Adapter
Inuput: 100 - 240V~0.15A 50/60Hz
Output: 5.0V , 0.85A
Now my Question is can I user the EU AC Adapter with my kindle fire? It has a little bit other specifications: But it is used with a USB Cable and not a direct AC Adapter. Is this the reason why the specifications is different?
I don't want to kill my kindle fire because of Charging it with the wrong adapter and I realy have no idea with this electric specifications. Can anyone tell me if I can use the Amazon EU AC Adapter with my kindle fire ?
Im pretty sure you can, I dont know a lot about it either, but I use a EU blackberry charger with these specifications and have had no problems:
Input: 100 - 240V~0.150A 50/60Hz
Output: 5.0V , 0.700A
I just bought a plug adapter and keep using the USA charger

It will work fine. It will just take longer to charge the Kindle because it has a lower output current capacity. (0.85A versus 1.8A)
You really want at least 1.8 A of output to charge the KF in a reasonable time. I'm a big fan of the Belkin F8Z630 charger. I've bought several of them, and been very pleased. They're not cheap, probably because they're marketed for iPad users, and they come with the useless iPad USB cable (just toss it, or give it to any iPad user on the street). But performance is fantastic--they deliver a solid 2.1 A at 5 Vdc, they can handle any input 100-240 Vac (basically worldwide usage), and they have a nice rotating plug feature that is handy in some tight spots. Works great for charging the KF quickly. I used one extensively on a European trip last month (with a simple U.S.-European plug adapter, of course).
Ad why not use ad/dc adapter that came with Kindle Fire? You need only US/Euro plug converter and it is miserably cheep.

Nope, you'll be fine. It'll just charge faster.
Great! thanks

Bought official Samsung galaxy S3 MHL Adapter from Best Buy... Finally a brick and mortar store had them. Some initial impressions below. Will update if I find anything new. Rooted s3 on stock ROM and interface.
S3 charger with BB cable and on 1080p Panasonic Plasma TV: Worked fine but only showed in 75% of screen (surrounded by black bars above and below). Did not test for lag.
iLuv 3 port charger with BB cable on 760p Panasonic Plasma TV: Worked in fullscreen on TV. S3 slowly lost power watching crackle, Tmobile 3G+, wifi off, plugged in 1amp port, no other devices plugged into charger. Tried same with S3 stock charger and BB cable and phone charges under same conditions.
Update: I bought a Kensington Absolute Power 2 port USB charger to charge an Asus Vivotab Smart and the S3. The charger comes with an adapter for charging tablets at up to 2.1 amps. With adapter, the S3 read around 2000mA which I am afraid would damage the phone,so I plugged it in without the adapter (per instructions). Without the included adapter the phone read around 700mA.
Again, I tried the the Samsung S3 OEM MHL adapter with the Kensington 2.1a USB charger (no adapter) and the phone slowly lost power. I tried this with both the S3 stock USB wire and a Belkin charger+data wire. I tried again with the stock S3 charger (1amp) through the MHL adapter and it charged the phone while viewing. Same Crackle episode, same 3g+ internet,same TV.
I am afraid of trying this setup with the tablet adapter for the charger, as I am afraid it will damage the phone. As a side note, I am using a 3500mAh battery from seidio.
Update: Tried the 2amp charger listed above with adapter. Interesting conclusion... besides having a strong enough power supply, you still need the OEM Samsung charging cable to charge and use MHL adapter at the same time.
In other words, the S3 charging cable with the Samsung S3 MHL adapter will charge the phone. Other cables resulted in a slow loss of power.
Update: Bought a Samsung universal charger listing 0.7 amps. Using the Samsung universal charger cable with 1. the 0.7 amp Samsung wall adapter, the 1.0 Samsung original S3 wall adapter, and Kensington 2.0 amp wall adapter all resulted in charging the S3 while using the MLH adapter with my TV.
In other words, the phone still charged using the Samsung branded 0.7 amp charger cable.
You may know this adapter, but I found this one extremely cheap and it has a good quality (1080p).
Links:
Amazon UK £4.87 HDMI Cable not included. (not sure about charger)
Amazon USA $12.99 Build in HDMI and USB 2.0 charger (6.5 feet/2 meter)
Specs:
MHL for 1080p output
HDMI out
USB charger (I think you need to keep the charger connected, otherwise it won't work. You can also plug it in on pc usb port)
Micro USB (goes to phone)
Not sure if this is a question for this forum but feel there will be a fair few experts on here who may know the answer.
Will a 4K firestick work by plugging it directly into a 2.1a 5v wall socket outlet with USB port?
Looking to buy a LAP 1-Gang SP 13A Switched Socket + 2.1A 2-Outlet USB From Screwfix
From what I’ve read, people have been powering their firesticks on TV USB ports with some success. Some have reported that less than 1 amp power on older or smaller TV’s would under power it. My concern with the wall socket may be too much power?

you will be fine using that. The amp rating is for the load it can handle. for example if you put a hub on it, you could power 4 devices that require .5 amps each. I believe the firestick 4k requires 1.5 amps (it may work on less but could cause issues)
Great. I was concerned the socket would be too much for it and perhaps overheat it or something and I plan on not using the plug Firestick plug (brick) which is fused
All Fire TV Sticks have a power adapter capable of delivering 1 amp of electricity. Of course, that doesn't imply a Fire TV Stick needs that much power to function, but it can theoretically draw that much power from the supplied power adapter.
So you may take advantage of that. Because if you put a hub on it, you can power four devices that each require 0.5 amp. In addition, this firestick needs a 1.5 amp power supply.
I'm looking for a charging dock/stand (wired or wireless) that will let me plug a mouse and keyboard into it to use for gaming. Anyone know of one and can share a link?

So if I understand this right your after a charging doc for your S20FE, that has USB passthrough to allow you to plug kb/mouse into that?
The Dex pad might do what I think your after -

Or failing that, there seems to be a number of charging hubs on amazon -

Do you think something like this would work?

Intended for MacBooks but I think it "should" do the job.
I don't think the charger itself is included, but you should be able to power it with a Samsung usb-c charger you already have. I'd recommend the 25 watt one they sell for $20 now.
I have one these coming soon...

not that the OP is still asking but I'll report back if the HDMI works allowing improved murdering of people with a wired controller.
just realised this doesn't have a power supply input.
I got this Baseus dock and althought the plastics feel kinda cheap, it gets the job done and have a great Dex experience.
