How do I get an original charger for the N5X? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ordered mine from a store in the UK. Everything is great only that I use an adapter for the wall charger and it's bulky and uncomfortable. Also, there are some plugs in my home that aren't charging my phone for some reason. I figured I need an original charger, but I can't find one. We have different wall plugs in Europe.
I love the fast charging and I don't want to give that up.
My charger says: Model MSCN04UR
Input: 100/240V 50/60Hz 0.5A
Output: 5.0V ==- 3.0A
Any ideas on what I can order?

I live in the UK and when I go there, I see chargers with UK plugs... That's why I suggested checking there...
EDIT: check the attachment

He bought his phone in the UK but lives in mainland Europe. He wants an original Nexus charger with a European (not UK) type plug.

Same like me. I want a google's type a to c charger.

Try an adapter. I've got these. I know they make your setup bulky but they work fine w/ US plugs.

A question to U.S. Americans with the unlocked (european) Touch Pro2's

Non of the Touch Pro2's I've seen sell with a U.S. charger or atleast they don't say so. Where did you guys buy your U.S. house charger for your Touch Pro2?

it charges by USB in your laptop or desktop, and the same charger you use with your X1 will work on the TP2, it is a very common charger, you can get it anywhere.
Check the markings on the TP2 charger. If the input says:
100-240V​
then you have a worldwide/multi-voltage charger (like those used by notebooks) and all you need then is an plug adapter to plug into your wall socket - it will adjust to US voltage automatically.
PS. My TP2 charger supports multiple voltages, as are all chargers that came with older HP/O2/Dopod/HTC PDAs/phones I own.
I found these at ebay. Are these the one you are talking about? These ( charger & Cable) are the same that came in the HTC box.
You can buy them in the HTC store: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179160

i wonder why htc doesn't have an official store in US ..
Doesnt it use a standard HTC mini-usb, so wouldnt a Tilt/Fuze (touch pro) charger work with it? Might be able to find that in a cell shop or Best Buy.
your right. I use my fuze wall charger and my old razr car charger. It's just the mini usb plug
Any old HTC chargers you have will work fine. RAZR chargers not too well. The HTC chargers output 1A while the RAZR chargers I believe are less than 500mA. They will charge the phone, but slowly.
Many chargers use the standard mini USB (type A) plug alright, but, unlike a standard USB port on a computer which churns out 500mA, they often generate more power for speedier charging - all Dopod/HTC chargers I have generate a 5V, 1A output. I don't have RAZR, so that's an exception
But, I think what poetryrocksalot is asking originally is that (and correct me if I'm wrong) he is worried the charger out-of-the-box won't work with US mains voltage since Europeans operate at a higher voltage than their friends across the Atlantic - it should work fine if the charger is a multi-voltage one.
are the plugs even the same?

No, but you can always use a simple plug adapter for that - on sale for less than US$3 where I am.

yea but then you have to plug more crap in, and remember the adapter when you travel lol. Oh well. Least there are plenty of online placed to buy the U.S. wall chargers.
I agree. If one doesn't travel beyond US or Canada, getting a US wall charger is more aesthetically pleasing in the long run.
mines came with a universal adaptor that allowed me to plug in here in the US... however, I can only get 2G... which means I'm sending it back to Hong Kong, where I got it from
I use this one with my European Universal
Anyway is a great tool to have for travelers!

The NAM 3g bands haven't been released in a Touch Pro 2. Once the AT&T and T-Mobile versions come out, you should be able to buy an unlocked one with the NAM 3g.

There is nothing wrong with the phone. It doesn't support US 3G networks, at least not yet.

HTC AC Adapter

Anyone know how to get my hands on a second HTC-brand AC Adapter for the EVO that plugs into N/A wall outlet? (MODEL TC U250)
Would like to know this as well since it works reliably and is high power.
I like the HTC branded one too for it's power and size but here is a really good travel charger to consider.
http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlin...ID=PGU3838R_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
It has a battery built in so it can also function as a backup battery when you're traveling and need a quick charge. With a 25% off for being a premier customer it's $29.99.

I'm pretty sure I saw some on Amazon
I found a kit for the iPod and iPhone that provides a 5V/1A car and home charger that allows the device to work properly (no wonkiness with the screen). They're both USB plugs and then you plug in a microUSB cable that you've provided (it comes with an iPod cord). The phone doesn't unfortunately recognize them as anything but USB BUT they are higher current so they should charge faster than the typical devices.
It's made by Philips and says "Fast charging at home & in the car" on the front. The part number is DLM2264/17.
This is the same thing on Philips' website (though on this link it's branded DLO and the one I bought is not).
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=DLM2264D/17&scy=us&slg=en
I believe it was $35. I found it at Staples.
i was looking for one too and found this seller on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HTC-Desire-O...Accessories&hash=item255c9d25ac#ht_2798wt_733
they are OEM HTC models and dirt cheap (US $9 inc. shipping). just placed an order!
Enjoy waiting on that ac adapter for a month.
I've gotten two from Florida, took three days:

i9250 oem phone charger

Can anyone tell me the exact model number for the simple USB wall charger?
I had it for the GSII.
Looking to buy off ebay.
Mine came with a different charger that needs converter. Picture below...
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120869020359?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT#ht_1116wt_905
because my Gnex shipped with an European plug and US adapter (which I hate carrying around). It is OEM and you get the wall plug and USB cable as well.
does it really matter what usb wall adapter is used? I bought a generic one that can double as a car adapter for when I need it in the car and it works fine for me when plugged into the wall.
what if the charger overheats the $600 dollar phone and it catches on fire then destroys your $500,000 house...
Better 7 dollar charger than -500,600 loss....hmmmm?
they sold out and now I cant find any wall charger like that, the only wall charger similar is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YCORR0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1SALXWWS9Y6O
But the usb cable is suk !!

That's the only reason I haven't bought that one yet. It's the same USB cable that came with the Nexus S, but I want the same one that came with the Galaxy Nexus, but with a US adapter like that one.
Is there a place to get the same charger that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (without the Verizon stickers)? I've searched everywhere, but can't seem to find anything official.

No idea which ships with Verizon version but Amazon has the little OEM 1.0A US charger which is what I got. It works great. I just use the Motorola micro usb cables. My GSM Nexus came with a travel adapter but with UK blades only. I ordered a replacement from Clove but it was missing the other blades too. Either Clove misrepresented the description because it claimed to have multiple blades you can switch out or Samsung packaged mine wrong so I got a refund.

Charger Replacement Suggestions?

In need a of a new charger for my S3, any suggestions of a cheap and quick charging chargers?
Looking on amazon i keep finding ones with horrible reviews.
Thinking about grabbing these from Monoprice:

I wonder if you'd want the USB Wall Charger 2.1A - Black. I can't tell from the description if the one you linked is only going to deliver .5A to the phone.
This Wall Charger has two USB A female ports, one on each side, and provides a total of 1A of charging power.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if you only plug a cable into one side is it going to send the full 1A through that cable or is it only going to send .5A which would be a slower charge. The SG3 is listed in the description for the 2.1A charger.
Monoprice cables are great. I use them with my chargers. I don't have the premium ones though. I bought this one: 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable
I'd love to hear what other users have to say.
I bought the premium cable from monoprice, and it works great.

US Wall Charger

I just ordered a Z1C from Clove.
I was looking for a wall charger, and found this one on ebay.
Will this work? I'm not sure what the right amps or volts are supposed to be.
Thanks in advance.

should be fine, as it's converting to usb. if a usb connection is made to a charger with more amps than the device needs, it just doesn't take the extra. too powerful a charger is not a problem.
Another option would be to buy a UK to US power plug adapter. They're only a couple bucks on eBay and you could use your OEM charger.
