Wall Charger for X1?

I need a Wall Charger for the X1 with a British 3 pin plug.
Also, it can't be that USB version

USB / AC charging detection?

How does this phone detect how are you charging it?
When it's being charged as "USB" it charges much slower than as "AC". I can see the current charing mode in *#*#4636#*#*.
Okay, the USB port has 500mA, it's understandable that it will charge slower than the original AC adapter that gives 1A. But in my car I have a Tomtom charger that gives 2A and it's detected as USB, so it charges slower than the original AC adapter...
¿Any ideas?

iirc it's the same behavior as other HTC smartphones. If pin 4 on the charger plug is shorted to ground, the phone will fast charge. If pin 4 is floating, it will pull 500mA. Search "htc magician pinout"

Thank you for so quick answer

What Micro USB cable that provide fast charging?

Hi,
I bought PowerGen 3.1A Wall Charger, when I use with original Micro USB cable that come with my Samsung Galaxy S4, the charging current is 1.9A, when I use with a generic USB cable, the charging current is only 700mA. (I have a way to test the charging current)
Does anyone know which Micro USB cable that carry fast current, such as 1.9A like original USB Cable that come with S4, or even better, carry up to 3.1A that this Wall charger provides?
Thanks All.

Faster charging is enabled in the kernel, not by a cable bro.

Hi,
you have to look for custom kernel with fast charging support. I am using faux123 with fauxclock app.

Do we see TRUE USB 3.0 speeds if charging in a car via cigarette lighter?

I've been wondering this for awhile now, but never have found an answer. I know that when these phones are hooked up to a wall outlet with the included Samsung charger and cable that came in the box, that it will be charging at the faster USB 3.0 speeds. My question is... Will we still be getting TRUE USB 3.0 charging speeds when we have the included Samsung USB 3.0 cable hooked up to an adapter in the car via the cigarette lighter? Or do we have to purchase a separate USB 3.0 car charging adapter in order to achieve TRUE USB 3.0 charging speeds while charging in the car?
Thanks!

no you will get very slow speed unless its usb 3 if you get ,galaxy charging current lite on google play you will see
on main charger i get 1250
samsung car charger 650
usb 2 on pc 450

USB... Has no relevance when using a charging only port. Only the max amps of the port is important. I built my own charger with a 3a usb, I get the 1.2amps. Read the max amps of your car charger, on the back.

Anyone have a UK charger?

Anyone know how this would be charged in the UK? Are there special USB-C chargers, would a shaver adaptor work with that 2 pin charger the phone comes with?
I already have a USB 3.1 hub with charging ports so using the cable on it's own should be fine just want a plug charger for in the work.

I live in the UK, my two prong adapter is plugged into a shaver/euro adapter and it works fine.

Thanks for that, just wondered if a shaving adaptor would be able to handle the power required but I suppose a shaver's power requirements are probably comparable to a phone

Go to Sainsburys. You can buy a European to UK adapter, rated at 10watts. Lot safer than shaver plugs

BTW I read yours has not come yet. Mine came with a separate box, I wasn't expecting with a proper UK charger in. I looked at the zuk official website and they have the fast charge ones for this - 5.3v +2amps. Or might be 3amps..the one that is in the box is not a fast charge. I got some plugs off Amazon that send power down the data usb wire. They just plug in line and help alot
