Best USB charger ? MacWay Novodio USB !

Hello,
I think I have found the best USB charger !! small and apparently efficient
Here it is: http://www.macway.com/fr/product/11...ur-secteur-usb-compatible-ipod-et-iphone.html
Has someone already tried this USB charger with a HTC device ? does it charged it quickly ?
Does it become hot when charging ? just a little like the default included HTC charger or more ?
Chris

No replies !!!
so any way I have decided to buy it..
I bought it 2 days ago, I have tested it, it works perfectly: quick charging of the PocketPC, and it is not becoming hot like all the USB charger I had previously. I definitively recommend this product to the HTC Kaiser community
Chris

So does it charge our Kaisers as fast as the HTC's original wall charger? Because that wall charger is 1000ma vs 500ma of original USB specs.

Yes, and I have tried already 2 others chargers, and I was not satisfied. This one is excellent, as fast as the default charger.

Which Charger?

Hi everybody
Unfortunately I lost my charger for my XDA neo.
The thing is, that I do have two other USB-chargers for other devices but I am not sure if I can use them with my XDA neo.
Charger 1 (originally for a BenQ MP3 player):
Input: 100-240V ~50/60Hz 0.05A
Output: 4.2V - 110mA
Charger 2 (originally for a GPS device):
Input: 100-240VAC 50/60Hz 0.2A
Output: +5.3V - 0.5A
I think the sticker on my XDA neo says 5VDC - 1A and on the battery it says 3.7VDC - 1200mAh.
Does anybody know if I can use one of the chargers or would I damage my device or battery?
Cheers for your answers!

Well i bought this. 4 dollar and it works....
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.2381
Its a usb charger for european use.
And it works like a charm
details of the adapter are
Model sysb51a
Input: 100-240v
OUTPUT: DC5.0V
1000MA +-5%
i think u have to try but always be carefull with charging equipment.

do it matter?
i never looked @ volts or anything else...my o2, brother moto rokr, sister moto razr & sometime, brother old lg phone...all of us share the same charger....

[Q] Alternate Charger

HI there,
This may seem like a silly question, but just wanted to check. I broke my wall charger, but I have an old charger for a Blackberry 8250. Can I use that to charge my HD2?
Thanks,
David

anything that offers a usb type output should be fine. Ive used several generic ones, a BB one, some garmin ones, no prob.

Thanks for the reply. Was just worried about the current output, as I checked the voltage output was the same, but current was different. Will it affect the charge time?
David

Yap. It will. As of my know, wildfire, hd7 etc have 1 amp charger. So hd2 will have same( i dont have og charger, as i bought an used hd2). And will charge the batt in 1- 1.30 hrs. So if u have a low amp charger u have to wait more. I dont recoment using a charger with more than 1amp. Coz it may damage the charging section of the main board. 700ma charger is what i got and its a blackberry one. I use it with no problms, only little more waiting for fill up.
send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2

Hmm thought the usb cable unplugged from the wall charger so it could be used on a computer. At any rate I have noticed that my Kindle charger works great on my Defy.

I used the charger of an HP Touchpad with 2000 mAh instead of the 800mAh of the Defy charger and would say it charges much faster. Unfortunatelly i "had to" sell the HP Touchpad with its charger and i am looking for another good USB-Charger. In the past i bought one from ebay for not much more than 1€ but it only has 500mAh i am thinking about this one "from HTC" with 1mAh
ebay.com/itm/170738630232[/url]
This one is listed with 2100mAh: ebay.com/itm/170767447174

I believe that you think on output current. That is mA, not mAh. And ofc that it chargers faster, just like you eat faster with bigger spoon

hello cickvoa,
you are right, it is mA, because milliampere per hour (mAh) is for battery's capacity and not for output currents. i hope everyone knows what i mean.
on the other hand i guess that the charging unit is also a factor the charging speed depends on. is it possible that a too high output current could damage the phone?
is anyone able to suggest a good charger with a current >= 1000 mA?
regards ladiko

It is not possible do damage charging unit, cause it will take current that needs. For example: USB on PCs is 5V/500mA (500mA is MAX current that source (USB) gives), and when you plug mouse it takes only 100mA. So, charger with 2A output is MAX, and defy takes less current

Galaxy Note without original charger

Hello to everyone!
I have one simple question: do I risk something if I charge the Note with another charger than the original one?

I don-t know, but I think no.
I charged many time my note with htc charger and gs2 charger.
Ciao

I almosr never use the original charger. I use the charger that came with the bluetooth headset and everything is fine

It doesn't matter what kind of charger you have. The only thing you must look at is the voltage of the source (5V DC) and it must be a micro usb plug

im using my old htc hd2 charger as the samsung one seems to have packed up and isnt charging properly

The easiest way to charge your Note is of course via a USB>Micro USB cord plugged into a laptop or PC (where you are guaranteed the voltage is correct), however if you are using a generic or knock off wall wart charger than provides a micro USB connector there is some small chance that it will not charge your Note.. look for the charging icon and if its not charging, toss the charger and get another.
There is no specific risk to the device, provided that it (the charger) has a micro-usb intended for charging generic devices..its just that some modern portable devices have a stricter requirement (tighter tolerance) for charging voltage and simply will not charge outside that voltage range.. my BB9930 does exactly this..

Since all micro/mini usb chargers have the same voltage, and vary only in the power output - the only problem you could face is slow charging, or no charging at all if the charger doesn't have enough juice. But it certainly won't harm the phone.

I'm using my old Nokia N900 charger without problems

I'm using an old HTC mains-to-USB and a Nokia microUSB cable...

My stock charger has a slight squeal, so I usually use the charger for my BB Curve 9300. Does totally fine.

My Note was purchased from expansys UK but shipped in from mainland Europe. As it was to be sold in the UK, expansys had to supply a UK adapter rather than an EU one ...I received an HTC adapter with my phone. At first, I was worried, but discovered that it works beautifully with my Note. Charges faster than generic Samsung chargers too! You should be fine using another standard charger

For the first 3 weeks I was using a blackberry (original) Bold II charger.
I noticed charge time was too long. And maybe even battery life was shorter.
Im not 100% sure about the second statement but the first is confirmed.
When I started using the Note charger it was faster. Not super fast compared to iPhone or iPad but faster than using the Bold charger.

I never use my samy charger..Im using my DHD charger..no problem at all..

Tested three microusb from my "old" htc hd2, two original nokia microusb, and a sony ericsson original microusb.
HTC and Nokia dont work. Can't charge and no data connection.... I only can charge and data connect with the samsung and the sony ericsson microusb cables. I cant understand!!!
(the nokia cable also cant work with hd2!!)
microusb is an standard???
HTC minijack stereo earphone dont work with samsung, also dont work the nokia earphone...
minijack stereo is an standard???

Most modern USB chargers should be fine (I use my old iPhone charger for the Note, for example.) Watch the power output though - some tablet chargers are rated at 2A+ and that could overdrive your charging circuit and cause damage. If you make sure your charger is about 1A (and 5V, obviously) then you should be fine.

Make sure it gives you 1A of output and you are fine!

Well emuX said it all!
1A of output and 5V and you are fine!

Actually the charging current is limited by internal resistance of the battery, so the battery effectively "accepts" charge. Charging current is not "pushed" in by the charger...
obviously a charger from say a BB is likely to be current limited and so longer charging times would be expected, but an iPad charger will work fine.

I am even using a charger meant for my old HTC hehe, powerful enough adapter

I wouldnt worry too much, I charge my note with my iPhone charger purely because the USB port faces a different way so I can actually fit it on my plug extensions without loseing 2 sockets.
Pretty much anything with an output of 5Vdc and a minimum of 1A will do just fine.
