Hi, anyone good experience with a specific brand of car charger? Ali or ebay link would be nice.
What 'search words' would result in the best charger?
'Fast charging' might help as a word? Or Qi?
Almost a month late but any car charger that spits out 2A (2000mA) or more should be okay.

1000mA also works fine - I have old HTC czarter with such specs and there are no probs with it.

You are absolutely right that a 1000mA also works fine. It's just that a 2000mA charges the YotaPhone a lot quicker. So when buying a new one I would always advice a 2000mA.
I bought this piece of equipment:
BlitzWolf® Qualcomm Certified Quick Charger QC 3.0 33W USB Type C BW-C8 Car Charger with 2.1A Reversible Micro USB Cable Double Sided
Very nice product, looks great and very high grade. Haven't tried it though, will do tomorrow.
What's neat that it comes with a high quality reversible micro-usb cable (on both sides) which makes plugging it in, a bliss.
Let you know what the results are with QC2.0

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.
what car chargers will work with our phone? I saw someone had used a charger from a razr, but when I went to the store to check them out, the usb cable wouldn't fit, and I wasn't going to try to for the thing on there. Any ideas please?
I use a mini USB cable to the phone with a usb car charger.
You should look again. I use 2 old Razr chargers (1 home & 1 car) and they both fit perfectly. My old Htc diamond and touch pro chargers work too.

Depends on what razr you had. I think they changed the port to a micro usb in one version.
Like railstop said, find a GENERIC USB car charger. If you can find one that is just the car charger plug with USB port(rather then a non-detachable cord) then that is even better b/c you can plug any usb cable into it. USB A -> mini .... USB A -> micro ... USB A -> iPod
It doesn't matter. If you get the generic then you can also plug in any device that will charge off your computer.
If the charger is marked 1 A, it'll charge faster. Some of the mini USB chargers, for phones or BT headsets only charge at 300mAh or 700mAh. They'll charge, eventually, but a lot slower.

Good point. Some devices(not the hero) will complain that the charger is not compatible but 95% of them will still charge. They just throw up that warning b/c they will charge slower.
If you are constantly using GPS then you will want to hunt around for a 1 amp version because even with a 1A charger the hero's battery can't keep up with the drain of GPS and data for the navigation.
I too am using an old Moto car charger(not Razr). Just look for any USB mini car charger, don't get suckered into Sprint approved accessories. If you have an extra miniUSB cable, it may be better to get a generic USB car charger, so you can switch out when you get a new phone.

i went out and bought a generic moto charger that has the different adaptors on it, but it's charging slow as ****, to the point of pretty much not even seeming to charge. I also had a griffin usb charger that was doing the same thing. :grr:
Could a charger above 1000mA damage the phone? I have two gps mini-usb car chargers rated for 1500mA and 2000mA.

No it wont matter. The phone will just draw 1 amp, the ratings are just maximums.

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.

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...

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.

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 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.
Guys I have found something strange.
Last night I had left my dash charger somewhere so I plugged in my OP5 in a regular charger for the night. The red charging led was on. The following morning, my phone was more or less on the same battery percentage. I installed Ampere from the playstore and the charger, that is supposed to output up to 2.4A or even more using QC3.0, was only charging my battery with 300mAh. I doubt it actually did this all night, considering my battery hadn't charged at all.
Since I've tried 4 other chargers, and it seems I can't get more than 400mAh out of them according to Ampere.
My 3T could be charged with any regular charger, although much slower than dash charging, but I could get 1-2A without problems.
Do you guys have the same? Or is my OP5 broken?
Could somebody please try?
Charging Ok here
With 830mA on an normal USB (1A) charger (Not great but OK)
Well i have a microsoft 3A usb c charger, works like a charm.. not dash but it charges!
Hm, thanks! So either a Quickcharge charger is a problem with th OP5, or my device is broken.
Let me find an old & simple charger to check this.
I've tested it with my QC 3.0 chargers all over the house and in my car and It works like it should.

I'm so happy you posted this.
Indeed, the issue is not the charger or my phone, but the cabling!
I have many cheaper and ultra-cheap USB cables, and some work and others don't. I now got rid of all cables that do not work. I'm a happy man.
Thanks all.

you are welcome.
i also used the app ampere https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere
to test all my cables.. it was very surprising how many of the "quality cables" only provided usb charging while some "cheap cables" provided full power
(not dash power but way better than just usb current 200 - 500 mA)

Get an inverter if your vehicle doesn't have an a/c outlet, and use the Samsung 45w adapter.
What I did was to use the power bank to charge the phone, meantime using car charger to charge the bank

is that quickcharge?
any 15w quick charger/ pd charger should easily be able to go 'positive' charge with gps and bluetooth on .
so any recomended one that will do the job?
I use this as it does charge at 18w
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KM3CJST/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I need this as my Honda S2000 doesn't have a BT radio so I use this to broadcast. Plus I use one of the USB-A ports to plug in my wireless KENU vent mount charger as well. It's been a great device. If you don't need the radio option then get an AUKEY PD 2.0 car charger, I have 2 or 3 of them because they are so good.

Is there a way to confirm if it's really charging at 20w?
I do not measure, but if you use red usb port, than really quick charging. My previous charger was 10W and if compare than this is much more quicker.
I'm thinking this would probably be the fastest car charger out there. Which us a 120W UL Listed CPD2-B Universal PD USB-C Car Charger

I can't say for sure because they just takes me to a sign in page I can't dismiss, but it's hard to imagine any inverter that couldn't handle the job. Just look at the watts rating on the inverter and make sure it's greater that 15.. at least 25 probably. Also, that inverter says 220v so if it isn't switchable to 120 make sure the adapter runs on 220 as well.

at that point why not just get a PD car charger? They are pretty cheap.

Totally correct in both points! The only point in using an inverter, especially if you didn't already have one, would be to enable using the 25w or 45w adapters, which aren't available as car chargers yet.
