Silly Charging Question

So this may be a silly question, but I've just received the T-Mobile MDA (HTC Wizard) second-hand and without a charger.
The Mini USB port on the bottom allows ActiveSync and charging from my notebook's USB port, but when I try to charge using an AC-to-USB adapter it doesn't work... I've tried two different Motorola phone chargers and a generic one that came with my Jawbone that has a USB female connector on the adapter and you supply your own USB cable. I've used the same cable I was using when attaching to the PC, but no luck.
Interestingly enough, I did get it to charge with the same USB cable once at an airport by plugging it into the Southwest Airlines chairs with the USB power plugs...
So does anyone know? Does this phone require a special sort of charger?

you need a charger that is rated 1.0Amps.
usb is normally 500mAmps, not enough to charge your phone.

Help: Usb charge rate 2A car charger?

I'm not sure how to take advantage of the full 2A charge. Im using a recommended 2.1A/1A car charger for my nexus 7 that i installed in my dash.
My setup consists of a USB OTG right angle cable, a usb 2.0 male to male standard cable, and the 2.1A port.
Im also using USB rom
Under USB settings, it says USB fast charging, but my tablet is DISCHARGING quite quickly.
Is there a fault in my setup? much appreciated. Thanks:good:

Nexus 6P, Android Auto, faster charging question?

So, my 2014 Kia Soul has a new map update that is arriving in the mail tonight, and it includes Android Auto. I know I have to connect my device directly to the USB plug in my car to use it, but I have some questions for everyone.
I want to be able to keep my phone QUICK charging at 3A but also connect for the USB requirements for Android Auto. I also have a 32gb micro sized USB drive I'd like to keep plugged in, as it is loaded up with great driving music. I can live without the USB drive if needed, but really want to keep the ability to quick charge.
If I use an adapter like this one.

And connect the Type C connector on that to my phone, and then the Type C USB charger in my car to this, can I connect a Type A male to Type A male cable to satisfy Android Auto?
I hope this makes sense. I'm thinking it'll work, but maybe someone else has tried it. I have this adapter from some testing I did, but don't have a male to male type A USB cable to test out with yet.

I am almost sure it won't work. And where will you get 3A power to quickcharge? Cars usb are not prepared for that.

I would get to 3 amp power from where I get it now, the quick charger that I put in my car as mentioned above.
So the USB C cable would go from my current charger to the USB C in port on this adapter, which is designed only for charging through that port, then a USB A to USB A cable to connect the car USB port to the USB A port on the adapter.
I picked up a short USB a male to male cable earlier today so I can test this on Friday.

Question about powerbank recharge cable

Hi guys one question about powerbank... I have 3 anker and they all have micro USB port to charge the smartphone and i usually charge the powerbank from the normal USB port. Since the s8 has USB-c do i have to buy an adaptor USB-c to micro USB or i can Just use a normal cable USB to USB-c like the One coming with the s8? Thanks!

You can use any cable as long as you end up connecting the USB-C to the S8 and whatever it is the connector for the powebank output.
