Pretty sure some of you may have noticed that after 4.2.2, charge times seem to have improved. Right now my battery is 17% and using a battery pack with HTC cables and it shows AC instead of USB. Havent tried other 3rd party cables yet, though I suspect it'll be the same. Before, on 4.1.2, when connected to my battery pack it'll always show usb regardless of cable type.

Im on 4.1.2 still and also have a battery pack. It always says ac when using the cable that came with it, but usb when another cable is used, like the htc cord cable.
Can you test your htc cable from your htc cord and see if it says ac or usb? Hooking it to your power pack of course.
EDIT: nevermind you've tried htc cable lol. Thats good to know it can be used and charge as ac rather than usb on the battery pack. Id much rather use my htc cable on my power pack

This is my HTC cable that came packaged connected to the battery pack.
Edit: 4.2.2 seem to improve battery consumption for HTC one. Mines all stock non rooted......not yet.

Sweet, thanks for the info and pic. Cant wait to get 4.2.2 so I can start using my htc cable with my power pack. The one that comes with it, is a pain to use. Im also stock non-rooted. Having gotten around to rooting the one yet. Havent found the need to yet. Works great as it is

This is so far the highest I've seen it go..guessing it might go higher, I don't know..don't have the time to keep looking at it.
It can drop to 80+ range.
This is connected to the 2A output on my battery pack.

This is great news! I had to buy a new battery back just to get AC charging. Now I can use my old one.

Hey thanks! I already have a dock though.
In my post I asked what the charging output was for the HD dock.
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App
USB 2 is 500ma, USB 3 is 900ma, Moto charger has 850ma rating on it. If you have a USB 3.0 port you can use you'll get enough power from that. I use the 3.0 on my laptop at work, and it charges fine.
How can we find out the charging output of the multimedia dock?
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App
Do the differences matter much? Just one takes longer to charge then the other?

Yes one charges faster that's it. For heavy users like myself, getting the most juice as conveniently as possible is a plus.
I also like to charge my phone on the dock and keep my usb cable in the truck for playing music. I only want to do so if I can find out what the dock is putting out. When I need juice I need it as quickly as possible.

If your only getting 500mA your phone will take hours to charge and then only if your not running wifi, Bluetooth or gps. Use any of those and plugging it in will just prolong discharge but not actually charge it. With just GPS running I pull over 700mA. I'm really tempted to put a female end with resistors (to fool the phone into thinking it’s on AC power or it'll never pull more than 500mA) on a split wire usb mini cable for charging at work.
I finally used my brain and checked my chargers. Here's the specs
Standard charger: 850mA
HD multimedia dock: 1.2A

I think the dock is rated higher to power the usb ports. I bet it still only feeds 500 to the phone for charging. Looks like its back to the cable for charging!

Just an update. I think the dock charges as fast as the wall power adapter. Almost certain.

This is interesting as I have issues getting my Atrix to charge in the car dock. I have the ATT boxed car dock with ecomoto dual USB. It simply will not charge in the dock. Connected direct to the car charger and it's super fast to charge. Maybe the ecomoto isn't capable of charging the phone in the car dock.

Is using a different wall charger harmful? I was using my old palm pre wall charger for the first few days and it is rated at 1000mA.

Can you splice a USB cable and a charger together?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
It doesn't matter what you slice together as it will not take a charge via the usb port. So unless you got some magic spells and chants and perhaps some pixie dust. Then it isn't going to happen.

The reason why it's no is:
Any devices USB port only puts out 5 volts.
The A500 charging port requires 12 volts.
The A500 USB port doesn't charge the battery.
My girlfriends nook wont charge with any cable including the original after puting honeycomb on the sd card and idk what I did to it... could it be the connectore were using im using a griffon usb wall charger and her nook says discharging then when we plug it in it says not charging and I feel horrible cause I broke it it does go up in percentage but it says not charging... Is there any way to fix this its brand new and I dont have money to replace it plus It was a gift from her mom

Only the official Nook cable and charger will work for charging.
But the percentage goes up, and also it never came with a wall charger only the cable....

If it was new it came with a charger. If used, someone stiffed you. You can buy a charger and cable from B&N for $24.95. The charger and cable have additional charging pins from normal cables which is why other chargers will barely if at all charge it.
It was brand new but only has the cable she still has the box which only has a slot for the cable
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Both brand new and Barnes and Noble refurbished come complete with charger and cable. The charger is a small wall adapter with a USB socket that the cable plugs into. It can supply about 2A and over extra wires / pins which are in the official cable.
Check the box and if you didn't get the adapter then you should contact Barnes and Noble.
You can charge your nook with a compatible cell phone charger, but you have to plug in the nook, then turn it off and leave it alone for 8 hours or so to get a full charge.
Do check for the part the cord should plug into, to plug into the wall. Call 1-800-thebook if the cord breaks (which it will!) for a free replacement. The cords are cheaply made. I am on my 5th cord - all replaced for free.

Anybody else seeing that even if your phone is plugged in it will continue discharging if you are using it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Isn't this always the case? My understanding is that the phone is always powered by the battery and not the plug. If your using the phone and using more power than the charger is supplying then the phone will discharge accordingly. Could be wrong but that's always how I thought it worked.

What's your battery life like? You may have some issues with software maxing out the CPU.
Anyway, the One X battery can run out when using navigation software and on car charger (maybe 0.5A).

I ran into that when I was using a under rated charger or just plugged into a USB port. Official chargers (or equivalent) didn't have that problem it was slower if I was constantly using it while charging, but it did it.
Playing games, navigate, heavy tasks - looses percentage.

I believe this is correct. Whenever I used my Lumia 920 for gps+music on a cheap car charger, it would always discharge faster than it would charge. This is because 1) 12V-car/usb chargers charge at a slower rate than AC chargers and 2) some cheaper car chargers output even lower than normal USB charging rates.
Shopping for a new mobile/car charging solution for my Asus TF300T (gonna use for GPS.. tethered to my HTC One) and my HTC One, i ended up getting this multi-use charger. Initially, i was going to get this high power charger just for usb (which is the first charger on amazon i've seen to output 18 W / 3.6 A), but wanted a more unified solution that I could plug both my One and TF300t into. Because I'll be using the tablet for GPS+music, I can tuck the phone away charging at a tolerable rate. Oh, a direct 12v car charger to HTC One will charge the fastest if that's what you're looking for.
Im wondering if my battery life is normal, im pretty sure I remember before doing yhe mf9 update I had better than this. If it could be better, what would you suggest I do to make it better? Look at the attached pics
Also I was playing a game for a while but I'd still think it should last longer.

I've read threads about worse battery life on MF9, but that is certainly not the case for me. I've been on MF9 3-4 days now, and am for sure not seeing worse battery life. Perhaps a little better, but it's hard to tell. For sure not worse.
Stock rom, rooted, some bloatware disabled. Same setup I had on MDL.
Ahh. But another thing, it takes FOREVER to charge. It has probably been plugged in for 20-30 minutes and it is at 2 percent. I used it to call someone a couple times. But I dont understand why it wouldn't charge.
