Hi!
I've the charger can you see in the photos attached. I made a search on the web, but I haven't found any information about which device can use this charger.
What type of charger needs magician?
Do you think the charger in the photos below is fully compatible with magician?
Thanks!

Hi anyone can help me here,
I need to know what is the voltage and current for charging a xda2. I am looking at modifying a nokia phone car charger to charge my xda2. From what i have read, it the output 5V and 2A (i took this from the cradle) but can the current be lower than 2A to charge. Thanks.
I do not know how you could do this, but have you tried this?

It is a car charger and sync cable in one, so looks like good value..
5-6V, 500 mA should do it.
Just take care you use the correct polarity on the connector.
Car charger for XDA2
Why bother? Standard O2 USB sunc cable is only £12 from eXpansys and will charge the XDA from any powered USB port (eg your laptop/desktop) and you can buy generic cig lighter USB adapters for about £8. No risk, no hassle

Because there are always people who like to experiment.
And why throw something old away if it can be adapted for something new with minimal effort?
Good answer!!
Good answer!!
And you keep £20 in your pocket! 8)

Yes it can. All the old XDA stuff was only 1A. A USB port (powered without external power) is in the region of 500ma.
The only thing with lowering the current is that tha XDA2 is sensetive to discharge.i.e. less than 25% battery power and it wont charge via USB!!
Hope this helps.

Thanks all for the help. I think my only answer to not spending the dollar is more towards wire management. My current charger wire is retractable and when i am not using it, it retracts back and keep the dahboard clean & neat. As i charge my BT and also xda2 in my car, the number of wires sticking out is quite messy. Not sure if all has the same problem but it's just me wanting to be neat.

Hi Pete... Well... i don't think this is the case... pls look at this post
... i've got the solution to the non-charge bug... the XDA II will charge regardless of the battery level...
Best regards,
Does anybody know what the power output specification for car charging is for the Tilt? The wall charger puts out 5v and 1mA, but I haven't figured out what car charger is necessary. Internet sites all list different outputs including the 5v and 550mA which is the same for the Razr.
I don't want to use one that will damage the phone. Will the 550mA work but just not as fast, or can it damage the phone?
I have been trying to read other posts on this subject, but none are conclusive.
I just bought a car mount but it came with the 550mA charger and they are giving me a hard time about it.
I also notice that the usb port which charges the phone only puts out a maximum of 500mA. I just don't know much about electrical stuff and I am hoping to get some insight from you all.
All I know is that I am using Moto chargers for my phone and they're working.
I use Moto chargers and they work fine, just not as fast.
Thanks guys.
Is there any way to see if the unit is being fast or slow charged? It seems that the HTC charger uses an extra pin on the charger to enable fast charging and that MAY be why some aftermarket chargers (wall and car) do not seem to keep up with the battery discharge when running even if their plugged into a charger with sufficiant current capability. The HTC Wall caheger is rated as a 1 Amp charger. I have other chargers that use an external USB cable to connect, both rated as 1.5Amp (1500mA) chargers but seem to charge very slow. Soooooo I'm looking for the difference between the HTC charger and the aftemarket ones to see if I can make the ones I have work properly.
Thanks for any help

<edit> in Looking at the Mini USB spec I find 5 pins labeled 1-2-3-x-4 with 1being VCC (5v), 2 & 3 being Data + & - and 4 being Gnd. Does the Advantage use the X pin to enable fast charging? How? Does it provide a second 5v line to cause/enable the Advantage to fastcharge? I think I need to look at the wall charger mini USB pinouts.
After talking to Pocket PC Techs and looking around online, it looks like the x-pin (next to pin 4(gnd)) is shorted to pin 4 to provide the advantage with a sense line to tell it to fast charge. The also shuts off the data lines in the unit AFAICT. Still don't know what the current capability of "Fast Charge" is or how to ask the unit to query the port for status. USB ports are generaly limited to 500ma and the stock charger is 1000ma (1A) so it seems that to ensure the MAX charge, the cable connected needs to have the x pin and pin 4 shorted. This is usefull if you are NOT wanting to do a data transfer (car GPS, stand alone charging, etc).
Here is a link to the connector http://pinouts.ru/PDA/pda_miniusb_pinout.shtml
Anyone can add to this?

I just received the Lil Sync DUO Mini-5 Adapter from PPC tech and it works perfectly. I'm now getting a fast charge from my PC (no sync) and I'm able to charge my S705 bluetooth headset.
Interesting news on the pinouts. I've never heard of any utility that shows fast vs. slow charge.
I wonder if anyone has a utility that can sense a gnd on the x pin (next to gnd) of the input connector. Does anyone have a schematic of the advantage side of the input power/data connector. It would me that there might be a pullup on that line sothe unit see's it as a high untill pulled low by a ground applied tothe x pin.
here you have "hot to do it"

Please tell me i need "PPC Techs HTC Advantage Lil Sync Extended Cable + mini 5 DUO" ( http://www.expansys.com.gr/p.aspx?i=145972) or ONLY "PPC Techs HTC Advantage Lil Sync DUO Mini-5 USB Adapter" (http://www.expansys.com.gr/p.aspx?i=145975) ?
Done a brief search on here and cannot find the answer to my question.
I have a standard car charger which I used with my my XDA Orbit (Artemis) - i'm presuming I can use this with the Touch HD? Just that I read that the connector is slightly different on the THD....
I'm also quite tempted to get one of these CC-C100 models with the HTC logo at the top (i'm not vein, honest ). Would these would work too?
May sound like a stupid question with an obvious answer, as I know they all have the generic mini-USB connector, but just wanted clarification.
Thanks
I was wondering the same.
I picked up somewhere that the normally unused B pin of the 5 pin mini USB needs to be connected to ground to enable 2Amp charging. Othewise it may max out at 500mA. So many of the chargers sold as HTC compatible will work but will not charge full rate.
The nice one with the HTC logo do have a ExtUSB connector and are rated for 2000mA so should work full charge. I am waiting for my eBay order to come in to validate.
Any miniusb car charger should work. I bought a satnav car charger and it works fine.

Hi!
I have bought a new Anker 4.8A dual-port car charger. The one here: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-USB-4-8A-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK and it does not work in my skoda fabia ;/
The previous car charger of mine - the original samsung's one works flawlessly, the usb cable also isn't a problem, there are no issues with it.
I have no idea why it won't work, i was already moving the charger to the sides etc. in the socket and still nothing.
Any help would be appreciated
Sorry, mate, i COULD NOT RESIST:
Buy Porsche, your problem will gone
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
seriously this time: check if:
1. socket provides voltage (LED on charger, if present, should light up. If not present, check if lighter is getting hot);
2. check the charger fuse (unscrew the show ring, the center pin is usually fused);
3. check the cable (if can be separated from the charger) with your PC;
4. check if the charger works with another device (other phone, mp3 player etc)
5. check if the charger spec says that it provides at least 1000mAh output

Contact their customer service and see they'd exchange one for you. I've got a RavPower dual car charger. Not any problems so far.

Have you tried both ports, also in Apple port? I am not really sure, but i think apple chargers also have bridged their data pins as Samsung has for original charger recognition. If you connect your s4 in a standard charger without this bridge, it will only provide 850mA instead of 1900mA, even if the changer is 2400mA max current as yours.
Mmmmmmm, your issue, it doesn't charge at all or it doesn't recognize the charger, or it just charges slowly?
