hey everyone! so I lost my original charger with quite good usb cable and now all chargers I have at home they charge max 800 mah (according to app "galaxy charging current")
anyone can suggest which charger to buy even if its not original but charges with good currency.
I looked up but are those from 6$ to 10$ worth buying? they say its original note 2 and OEM and stuff but is it true?
I would just buy a good third part charger and USB cable from companies like Anker and even Amazon Basics.

Look...I'm not rich, I'm a college student and I get payed part time. I need to go cheap and for that we look to ebay. Two things i need are batteries, and a usb car charger (a charger that can do all usb stuff).
Are these safe buys?
1000mAh Usb Car Charger
2 x 1600mAh batteries plus charger
I am aware those Touch Pro 2 batteries, but if they work then why should i care? Also is 1000mAh enough to charge the evo if i were saying playing music on mp3 or pandora? If not, can anyone recommend a good USB charger? I want to be able to charge my zune, psp and etc.
Should be fine with those. Just beware about the battery. Not sure if those batteries are legit HTC ones, because the fake HTC batteries tend not to perform as the say.
Here is a site that tested multiple tp2/n1/evo batteries.

Thank you for your reply, but when i go click the website my browser says "unable to connect". Any reason why?
*update works*, I don't see the batteries I'm buying on the list...
lol, if you look at the picture of the batteries, they say 1500mAh on them, but the seller has blurred it out a bit.. AFAIK HTC doesnt make a 1600mAh TP2 battery. I have some fake black TP2 HTC batteries that I got from eBay that say 1500mAh on them but have a part number for the 1100mAh batteries! They last about as long as an 1100 would too.... If you want a real OEM 1500 HTC battery thats cheap, this is the listing you want: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=230439043798&ff4=263602_263622#ht_1817wt_908
Also 1a is the most power an EVO will draw when charging, so that charger should be fine. Assuming it really is 1a and has the center pins grounded. I've ordered 3 1a chargers from eBay and 2 of them didn't have the center pins grounded-- so the EVO thinks its plugged into a computers USB port and only pulls .5a. I had to crack em up open and solder the center pins, something I wouldn't recommend most people trying. Here is a 2a charger that I can personally verify will charge your EVO at max speed: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Car-Charger...le-Nexus-One-/170523433174?pt=PDA_Accessories
I bought 4 of those 1500mah batteries & I've only received 2 of them thus far. One of them is on par with my EVO stock battery, the other . . . not so much.
There is an ebay seller....
named tuttoit selling 2 1500 batteries and a charger for 9.96 delivered. They have sold over 6700 of them. Tons of Evo owners in the feedback which is 99%.
I got mine today and I'm totally satisfied. Great deal! Performance on par with Stock on my phone.
i still have my extra oem hero battery so i havent needed to get a backup but i've seen them for as low as $25 and i went with the palm oem car charger at it is a 1000 mAh charger and everything else i found was only 500 mAh, i've had bad experience with $5 chargers, they always break 6-12 months later while oem ones work 5 years later, still using my htc chargers when i had my original kaiser.

Yes I agree! I bought from him as well, great batteries and the charger works great as well! a steal at 10 dollars shipped, batteried aren't AS good as the stock, but NEARLY. Here is a link, just click on his name and then his other products, should have multiple available:

The batteries you posted look a bit shady, at least with the guy i linked you, you have dozens of people who will account to you that they are good batteries. As for the car lighter charger, i would say go for it, but it doesn't come with a cord...so...yeah... Looks more legit than the other guy.

I saw this Belkin charger and says 5V and 1A charging capacity. I read that S3 maximum charging is 1A , so will this charger work ? or does 5V is not enough ? or go for 2A ?
Also does USB cable matter in charging ?
the usb cable makes all the difference.. ive used cheap ebay cables and they dont charge quite as good as oem or the mediabridge hi-speed i have.

I have just bought a couple of these cables:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FAAHT0E/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and one of these chargers:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
as my Belkin 1A wasn't really as adequate as it could have been.
The cables may be a bit over-kill (and a tad pricey, but I took up the 30 day free Amazon Prime trial so got free next day delivery), but as a combo they work admirably and can cope with charging my S3 and my Nexus 7 (which needs 2A) simultaneously.
Can you guys suggest a brand which is available all over world.. both listed items are not available in india. And Cant spend so much too
USB is digital (except for power). Anything a bit pricier than the cheapest cable will do.
Get a cable like this, with a charger that provides 2.1a out of a single port. If you're on a custom kernel that allows you to change incoming amperage, you don't need the dedicated cable.

Where do people get the idea that a USB cable is gonna make a difference for charging your phone??
I've used ebay, dollar store type cables my whole life and have never had a problem other than cheap build quality where the cable doesn't last very long. It still passed the same power or signal as any well known and overpriced branded cable.
I assume these people are the same suckers who buy $100 Monster HDMI cables that work the same as $10 ebay or monoprice stuff.
Be careful with those "mini" car chargers. The cheap price is daunting, but I bought a package that came with 2 with retractable USB cords for only 5 US dollars.
The adapter would not stay firmly in the car and pull out whenever I tried to extend the cord to plug in my phone, and my phone's battery decreased while plugged in...
While this could've been a car issue, I'd just use caution. Instead I purchased a regular sized one with a retractable USB built in for only 8 dollars, I'll link you if you're interested. Good luck!

Also don't forget that the actual charger might suck
If you didn't already have a spare one lying around, where did you guys buy your wall chargers. I was looking at this one from Monoprice and was just wondering if they're are better or even cheaper options.

How do I know if my wall is discharged
Hi !
Yesterday i've bought Anker 7200 mah for Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm really happy with it. After the first battery charging i've realised i need one good and secure wall charger. I've tried to charge it with friend of mine stock S3 charger (1A) but its kind of pain. It tooks about 7hours 30min to charge it from 0 -100%. So i need one good wall charger. I was thinking to buy stock S3 or S4 charger because the kernel gives me the option to choose charging current. But the stock charger costs a lot - about 10-15 GBP. Then i was thinking to buy Family Sized Anker 40W , 5-port charger which have PowerIQ technology and automatically identify each connected device and gives it the fastest charging current. The maximum for one port it 2,4A. It cost 20 GBP now. (there is some kind of discount). I won't use 5 of the ports because it will be personal. But it is almost the price of the stock one.....
Can you give me some good ideas for good chargers?
Yours,
Ignatov

How about a universal charger? Maybe this would help you.
This is my first foray into Android and I love the Pixel 2. It's great and I want to make sure I treat it well. Do you trust 3rd party wall chargers or do you think there is a risk they are bootleg and could damage the phone? I got one off Amazon and it seems to be ok so far, but who knows - (as a new user I can't post a link to the Amazon listing apparently). It's called "Google Quick Fast Charger Gray- Adapter with TYPE C to C Wire for Pixel/XL/C" and came in a discreet package not from Google.
Thanks
Do you know what brand it is? While Amazon is a more reputable dealer than searching on e-Bay...they too are not immune to junk...chargers that don't offer protection...or could result in electrocution. Did you look at the buyer rating to see that they were verified purchases and not fake reviews? What is the wattage and what version of Quickcharge does it support...ideally you want Qualcomm Quickcharge 3.0 to maximize charge speed on this phone. I try to at least stick with more reputable brands...I bought an Anker charger from Amazon that supports both QuickCharge 3.0 and has spots for my wife's iPhone. No issues and quick charging.

Hi - Thanks for the advice. Not exactly sure the the tech specs on it. Here is what Amazon said: "Brand New Original By Google Quick Fast Charger 18W 1.8Amp with TYPE C Pin Color Gray"

IIRC,Google Pixels support USB Power Delivery standard, not Qualcomm Quick Charge. The charger that comes with the phone is a PD charger and you can tell this by the fact that it uses a type c connection at the charger and at the phone. It's supposed to be a safer, more universal standard for fast charging USB c devices.
PuffDaddy_d is correct...disregard my QC3 recommendation...although I do get pretty fast charging with it using a quality Type-A to Type-C cable (presumably because it is 18W). For optimum charging, recommendation for Pixel and Pixel 2 (including standard and XL) is USB-C PD standard. Disregard my charger recommendation although I would till recommend sticking to reviewing your brand...if the one you bought is the one by Google...then you're fine.
I don't think you can get fast charging on a Pixel phone with any USB A charger. I saw just Charging or Charging Slowly at the bottom of the screen on mine with USB A. I was super frustrated shopping on Amazon for chargers because there's just so many fake ones and I couldn't find a Benson list for good chargers. He had some charger criticisms on his Google+ page, but didn't make an Amazon list and searching on G+ makes my head hurt. I went with Monoprice specifically because they're certified; item 24424 for my car charger ($10) and I'm very happy with it. On the office charger, I haven't needed one, battery life has been good enough to not worry, but Monoprice has those at $17, item 24426 or 21674. None of the Monoprice chargers are bundled with a cable, so expect to add $5+ for one. My old Motorola Turbo QC2 wall charger and the iOrange QC3 car charger do no good for the Pixel 2 so I gave them to my dad. I know it probably looks like I'm shilling for Monoprice, but there's so much trash out there. Amazon really sucks at this. Walmart and Staples just plain don't have a real USB C cable in their stores, though Walmart does have a real Samsung USB A-C cable for the same price you'd pay for a two pack from Anker or Cable Matters on Amazon, and I think that's pretty OK for retail. The Nintendo stuff seems OK if you're in a pinch. Gamestop has a Hori car charger (15W, not Power Delivery, cable attached) for $20 and the Nintendo branded wall charger for $30 (39W, has Power Delivery, cable attached). There aren't always cell phone stores around when you're jammed up.

I'm currently using a Monoprice Charger also and a Cable Matters USB-C Charging Cable.
Better get one from this list:
