Recently bought this adapter from amazon, a mfg named +pwr. It makes your lower power (computer and non samsung ac adapter) usb ports look like full power ports. Using it removes the red X from the charging icon and also allows the device to draw the max power available on the port - it's not going to magically make a 1 amp usb port draw 2 amps - but it will allow the device to draw max instead of a lower rate due to low power charging mode.
I've tested this on my PC, in my car and on an older Samsung ac adapter.
Well worth the 5 bucks I'd say. I'm planning to get one for each of my charge points and leave them installed.

Just be careful. There are adapters out there that were of an older design, primarily for the issue with iOS devices. Those won't work (you'll still see the red x). The one from Amazon works (I've tested it) but I can't comment on others. I'd suggest making sure that it at least explicitly states newer Samsung devices to be safe.
I don't suppose anyone knows of anyone in the UK doing these ? They are quoting 6-8 weeks for delivery to UK.
I've done a quick search, but am wary of knock-offs as OP rightly warned about. Would like to get something like this that people have tried and tested, but would prefer not to have to wait 2 months to get it !
Its by the same company. Think itll be the same?

There's some resistors between the VBus+/GND and the shorted D+/D- lines that Samsung uses to make their chargers proprietary. See here.

Costco charger works
I bought my vibrant at Costco and it came with some accessories, tested the car charger, it works.
Buy a cigarette USB adapter. Buy a micro USB Galaxy S cable. Connect the two. That way it works AND is more versatile than just being stuck for that specific phone/purpose.
I bought a Griffin dual USB adapter and a cable from amazon. Both were ~15. The Griffin has 2 USB ports so I can use the other for something else. Even if both are plugged in, it still charges the phone, even under intense GPS usage.

It shouldn't. The hack is a HW one that shorts the data pins so the cable looks like a charging cable the current goes from 400 mA to 600 mA. Well within the supported range. The phone limits the current to ~600mA.

Agreed. The only reason there is a limit of 400mA is so you don't draw too much power from your USB and harm your computer. If you use a wall charger, it would charge at the full 600mA & all this is doing is making it so it doesn't get registered as a PC USB device.
bought a $6 one from frys but while it would charge the phones temp. would go up by 30 degrees and became super hot to the touch, needless to say I never used it again. It works great on my sons Ipod Touch though.
as I just posted a bunch of info here:

But this works:
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25177
Status: Dedicated charger, not USB device, which is good because...
Widget reading: 1100mah
Basically we need any 1amp charger that is detected as a charger (rather than a USB device) and our phones will pull its max charge of about 1100mah (according to the widget)
If you already have a charger that is detected as a USB device, you can short the data pins (2 middle contacts, use a tiny piece of foil if you want =D) in your USB cable and it will then be detected as a charging device and pull the 1100mah.
I would love it if we could compile a list of chargers (wall chargers, car chargers, and USB chargers) that are detected as car chargers out-of-the-box.

ah too bad, if the thing opens up easily, it might be fairly easy to connect the data pins (inside two pins of the 4 pins in the usb connect) and "convert it" to a dedicated charger.
Baught some cheap charger off ebay for like 5 bucks, made in china, looks like it should cost about 25 cents to make, doesn't work. Charges for 2 mins, then stops charging, then starts again, then stops, then starts then stops, just loops.
Used the costco charger, came with the phone, works good so far. But phone gets warm charging.
Also have a 40 dollar charger, works the best, no problems with it.
Posted this in another thread but this might be more appropriate:
Just use this charger by Samsung it is compatible with all Galaxy S phones according to Samsung and it is cheap $6.69! The widget shows and output of 1095 and these chargers support the Samsung rapid charging. Doesn't trigger the USB connection.

Sigh, If thats the case then by tab is going straight back to best buy in a week
The 7 inch tab stuff works fine on the 10.1. The usb adapter is backorder at samsung and does not appear anywhere else.
I went to my local Best Buy this weekend and saw a space for USB connection kit on the shelf. The sales guy couldn't find it in the internal system or on their website though. The SKU was 2837365 and he said it was an accessory previously discontinued for the 7" tab that is coming back for both. Not sure if anybody else saw this. I think I saw someone else posted they saw the same thing at another website forum too.

It does NOT have USB ports but does have a pass-through of the 30-min Samsung Connector they "claim" allows you to use the USB -or- HDMI adapters. I have neither to test this but I have the keyboard dock and there is only the 30-min and a headphone jack.

I've noticed that plugging into various USB wall chargers won't work. The only one that will work is the one that came with the tab. I am pretty sure this is because the Samsung one is a 2amp charger and all of my others are less than 1amp, 850mah specifically. If you can find a 2amp car charger then it should work fine. Otherwise, the charging indicator will show that it's connected to a charger but will have a red x on in it meaning that it's not charging or can't charge. I suppose anything too low can't charge the battery fast enough to make up for the battery drain

i don't think the amount coming in will equal the amount discharged. depends on the brightness of the screen and how much cpu you're using. mine was charging veeeerrry slowly while reading the steps to root and the screen on, other than that it was idle and still slowly charged.

I also bought this. Arrived in 3 weeks from China, but free shipping, or $0.01.
They seem very good. There is some hard to read text (even in English) on the plastic part that tells you the top port is for iPad (2.1A) and the bottom is for others (1A). I've put a photo below of the guts. Seems it's definitely more than just some cheap resistors and a fuse.
I tried it in my vehicle and you still get the red X with a OEM cable with the device powered on, but NOT if you use an adapter plug found on eBay.
Do yourself a favor and order 3-4 of each. =)

Nope - you need a 2A charger, but any old 2A charger won't do. Most are designed for the iPad, which uses resistive voltage dividers in the charger to signal the presence of a dumb charger. Specifically the iPad looks for 2.0 volts on one of the data pins and 2.8 on the other.
The Tab expects D+ and D- to be shorted together and somewhere around 1.2-1.24 volts.
It IS possible to make iPad chargers (confirmed on Scosche reVIVE II) work as follows:
Bridge D+ and D- with a solder blob.
Remove the resistor that was the upper part of the 2.8v voltage divider (i.e. between the data pin and +5v).
At this point the charger should output around 1.2 volts on D+ and D-.
This may be old news but I found this MHL adapter for like $15 on amazon and it put a full HD mirror of my phone to my 73" TV that looked great!
Oh and it can allow charging of the phone at the same time.

Youtube Clip
I am an idiot that cant seem to get the youtube video link to work but I have a video of it
They have tons online ranging from $4.99 to $15.99. Some have charging ports, some don't.
Can you do a test to see if your battery slowly depletes while using it AND a charging cable? Some say that even when charging the same time, the Nexus screen and video out eats too much power for the USB charger to keep up with.
So as a test, could you hook it up with power and output to your TV for like an hour (maybe a movie) and see if the battery % is less, the same, or more then before you started.
There's a Thanks in it! Plus I'm thinking of buying one but there aren't enough tests to prove it's the USB Wall Charger, MLH Adapter, or phone that is the problem.
Also - That link is absolutely atrocious.
sorry about the youtube link. I tried a bunch of different things, all failed. Mine does have the charging port. I will test the charging functionality tonight. I tell you what, the one Youtube video that I watched with it looked great and I haven't found anything that isnt mirrored yet
I will say this, I picked this one because it was one of the ones being used at the MHL booth at CES
Can you supply a link to it on amazon please? Thanks.

I ran into this with the 700mA BlackBerry charger by my home theater, but I used a generic 1000mA charger with no problems (search Amazon for B005F9W6DU to find my model). I believe that the stock Samsung charger is also 700mA.
EDIT: Just for kicks I hooked my phone up to my HP power supply via a cannibalized USB cable. I measured just shy of 1000mA when plugged in directly. When plugged into the MHL adapter I was just north of 400mA. I'll have to explore more, but what I don't understand is how I was able to play a movie and not lose any charge at that charge rate. I suspect the voltage of the cheap-o USB adapter may be a bit on the high side, allowing a faster charge over the same current (with a non-zero risk) but that would require investigation.
Yea I think this is the cause of the confusion. The standard charger is slow. Seems it can't keep up with charging while using the phone. I have TONS of chargers because I'm an IT admin that services hotels. They always have a box of left over goodies behind the front desk (good tip to know). They are always happy to get rid of that crap. I always find some awesome universal chargers, backup batteries, laptop chargers, cell phone accessories, etc left behind by guests.
Good to know it'll work with the right equipment.

More good advice. I have a pair of APC UPB10 batteries because I can't stand the thought of buying spare batteries (and custom chargers) for every phone and Bluetooth device I own. With 10,000mAH it's enough to last me when I'm away from a power source, plus with the GN I don't need to worry about spare batteries making NFC more painful to use.

I ran into this with the 700mA BlackBerry charger by my home theater, but I used a generic 1000mA charger with no problems (search Amazon for B005F9W6DU to find my model). I believe that the stock Samsung charger is also 700mA.
EDIT: Just for kicks I hooked my phone up to my HP power supply via a cannibalized USB cable. I measured just shy of 1000mA when plugged in directly. When plugged into the MHL adapter I was just north of 400mA. I'll have to explore more, but what I don't understand is how I was able to play a movie and not lose any charge at that charge rate. I suspect the voltage of the cheap-o USB adapter may be a bit on the high side, allowing a faster charge over the same current (with a non-zero risk) but that would require investigation.

Thanks!
This is all well and good but you still haven't specified which company makes the one you have or supplied a link to it.
How do you turn on video out? I plugged it in and it doesnt work right off....

Samsung in-box AC charger is 1A. Their DC car charger is .7A. I picked up the Samsung OEM MHL (actual Samsung, not a fake) dongle with the OEM Samsung charger, it still drains a bit when in use. Since it's just a bit, the phone naturally gets blazing hot.
The official MHL outputs at 720p (having used two different MHL kits, it seems that's the phone's output most of the time), unless I'm playing a 1080i/p movie, where it switches output to 1080p. Does the one you have do the same or does it up-convert to 1080p all the time?
Can anybody confirm that this is a worthy purchase?

The cable works. If you have a use of connecting your phone to the TV, then its worth it. If not, then it isn't. You can check plenty of videos on YouTube to see the cable in action with our phone.
Did anyone try flash videos directly from a website? Youtube and videos from file work fine but when I try playing a flash video through a site, the video keeps flickering. I told the seller and got another one shipped. Same thing though. Wondering if I got two bad products or if this just happens with flash.
can we get a link to the amazon one OP?
Got monoprice one......loses signal every time i move :////
Just for reference..."Full HD" is 1080p, not 720p. This thing doesn't output Full HD.
Having had a wireless charging phone for the past 4 years, I feel that moving to a phone without one will be a bit of a pain. Since the HTC 10 doesn't have wireless charging, I'm looking for a dock to put bedside that will -hopefully- allow me to easily pop it on for charge overnight, etc.
Has anyone come across anything good? Bonus points if it also supports QC3.0
look to lg g5 dock it is very ?

Using an QC 2 dock from iProtect with my M9. They are simple but solid and working as expected. They already launched a USB C dock with QC 3 as well. Will give it a try as soon as I received my 10. Hope it helps.

That iProtect dock looks nice.
But I'm personally going to wait for the docks that are made for the HTC 10, you know a hole on the bottom for the woofer speaker and so on
Neither have I ever liked these universal docks, just seems so flimsy and I aim to keep the USB port on my phones undamaged as long as I possibly can.
An example of a phone+dock combination I absolutely loved, which would be the original Note with Samsung's own Desktop Dock.

It's just so nice to have accessories that fit your device like a glove. I could easily place that phone on the dock without even looking and with one hand. And take it off with just one hand, of course I had to use my third finger to slightly push against the dock while grabbing the phone with my thumb/index/middle finger but other than that it was just so nice.
Same applies to the official car dock I used with my Note back then.. Oh them memories.
Haven't had that kind of experience with my One M7 which is sad since otherwise I've just loved this phone.
Shame that the official accessories have pretty much died and replaced with universal junk.
I mean like with my One M7, I tried three different docks made by a third party "for the M7" (run of the mill chinese designs which are slightly tweaked and regurgitated for each new phone) which were basically what was available at the time
1) USB port isn't aligned properly
2) doesn't fit the phone properly, rocks side to side and front to back
3) this one was just bearable but decided to break after a week or two of use, the internal USB failed so it wouldn't charge anymore.
Fun! So I gave up, whatever. Don't want to waste any more money on crap products.. At times like these I wish I'd have a 3D printer so I could design my own...
How safe is this iProtect dock with all these USB-C Charging shenanigans? Any chance of frying the device?

As far as I can tell it is save as it utilizes an IQ technology as well.

Lisa from Mobiletechreview mentioned the Microsoft Lumia dock works with the HTC 10, meaning the HTC 10 can charge while screen mirroring, connecting to peripherals such as hard drives, etc. This is pretty awesome and has pushed me toward jumping to get the HTC 10. HTC 10 might be the closest android fans get to a desktop replacement phone. If only it could run full Chrome, it could be a chromebook/desktop replacement.

I would probably be worthwhile to check out some of Benson Leung's reviews.

Some of those docks to not meet the spec, so be careful.
Do they support fast charging for HTC 10?
Keep us posted! Subscribed here to stay current.
Anyone have any updates?

Check out also the lambda dock. To be on the save side, you simply use the cable supplied with the phone.

Slow charge or regular charge? I guess it's meant to do it overnight. Maybe it can be modded to fit our quick charge cables

with a 3.0 charger plug charges fast so my mistake.
How about scaling on those mirrored screens? I have tried MHL cable with my fullhd Sony Z2 with a fullhd monitor and it just mirrors the screen. It is not smart enought to get things smaller on a larger screen ie. the icons are huge on monitor, remote desktop is too small on mobile screen and so is on the monitor, it should instead be scaled properly. Does anyone know will usb 3.0/3.1 connection will be smarter or that is the problem with android? Look at this for example http://www.winbeta.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/HP-Elite-x3-Dock.jpg I am not MS fan or I want to buy MS phone but this scales as it should.
