last week i were on a holyday where i really didn?t have access to any form of power (that is unless i went into a store to use their power to charge my xda2 where i then had to wait for something which felt like a year for it to get some power)
needless to say that i didn?t use my xda2 all that much for that week
I remember that you for normal cell phones can get different types of funny chargers
Like one where you have to turn some handle to produce power
And also one which used solar power
Have anybody had any experience with such types of chargers and the xda series ?
I mean sure they would prob not have the right connector but modding one yourself using the connector from the charger to connect a modded wire would be a walk in the park
Hi Rudegar,
have a look at
http://secure.proporta.com/proporta/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=657&t_mode=des
Proporta iSun
I was thinking on buying the Proporta iSun...
That would solve the problem Rudegar had!
And of course it was a right good suggestion from bejay!
So anybody has it?
When you buy it does it comes with the right Himalaya cable?
Tnx.
Any charger that supplies 5V on a "sony walkman style" jack plug (+ on tip if I recall) will do.
Most chargers come with a variety of jack plugs.
The jack plug goes on the charger-to-mda-plug converter that was shipped with your device.
Worked for me in the car when I had no carkit
I just purchased a Covertec travel usb charger + car usb charger + usb cable for $19.95 + shipping from Mobileplanet.com Search covertec xda on the site. The DC 5V output is rated at 850mA or 1A. There is a review up on pccw.net.
I like the usb solution better because I can reuse the charger for most new cell phones, blackberries, pda etc. So I only need to carry one power source instead of 2 or 3.
There is another USB high current charger wiith a brand called Ecovell which costs $15 just for the AC charger.

For my it's a little bit expensive...
But who has core can buy it!
I'll remain on Proporta iSun solution.
http://www.coolpromotions.co.uk/rotarycharger.htm
i would asume this one is even cheaper not sure how many volts it give however and if using it could damage ones xda
also since it give somewhat less then 1 to 1 charging to 100% would likely take a great deal of time but hey they say we should get some workout once in awhile
good stuf for a reasonable price: www.time168.com
(also on eBay, but cheaper when bought directly)
my dad recently lend me his XDA IIs and i was wondering if i can charge it in my car using a usual ac chager (the one with the cig socket on the end and a circle ac with a yellow tip on the other) because the package came with an XDA IIs Connector Adapter.. a small connector that connects to the bottom of the xda and a plug where the xda 2 charger for the cradle on the other end..
can i use it to connect it with a normal AC plug for cars?
thanks a bunch!
ligther plugs from cars give DC i'm pretty sure not AC
and you may want to look at connectors in wiki
because ipaq's have the same plug as xda's
but different wireing and if the charger is made for ipaq's
then you need to mod them
you can buy xda2 2020i car chargers from any o2 shops for £19.99
jim
oh yeah cars give DC. sorry my bad.
my connector came with the xda IIs unit so i'm pretty sure its for the xda. i'm just thinking if i can charge it with a norml car cig plug DC.
well if the connector is the same
and + and - is connected the same
and it give the same volts
then you can use it
hmmmm + and - eh? hmm.. yeah.. i think it'll work. thanks!
It will not.
You need a 5 V DC outlet to your XDA II.
If you plug 12 V DC in you'll see what happens.
Sascha
Charging XDA2 from in-car charger
It does work fine. Have done this using 4.5v/600mA regulated dc/dc adaptor with plug matching that used on original XDA2 mains adaptor - centre is positive, outer negative . I know that mains unit is 5v/2A but my car adaptor works fine in car and boat. Of course you're not feeding 12v directly to your XDA.
thanks for the replies! yep. i wont put in 12v.. thanks for the advice. i'll probably do the same with tomdick. nice one. thanks.
Hi all
Sorry if this is already 'out there' but I've just paid £4 for a Motorola V3 / V3x car charger and it fits and works like a charm!
Bit cheaper than the £14 quid wanted by HTC.
Cheers
S
it works with any USB Car charger (and wall to that effect).
I got a car outlet to 4port USB that charges my ipod, bluetooth GPS and cellphone (if i need juice)

Hi,
I am newly join in this site.Cellphone car charger plugs into cellular phone on one end and the other end of the cell phone cord plugs into the 12 volt DC car power socket to charge wireless phones while in a vehicle.

In the UK, ASDA sell a car charger with an intergrated clamp style mount that charges my Diamond for about £5. Bargin!

USB Cigarette adapter, USD $2.58 incl shipping. Works well
haha, thats the charger i use
works ok but sometimes stops charging??? i dont know why, i think possibly the battery overheats in the car on the windshield in the sun and charging, but im probably wrong.
I'm getting that USB thing from DealExtreme too. However, I'm worried if it will overcharge and kill the battery.
Hi,
I bought one of this HTC CC C200, HTC genuine car charger for micro usb.
Problem is ... it does not tightly connect to the car power source (the cigarette lighter). It is very loose, you must push it downward to connect. Even then, it does not connect reliably.
I dont think this is an issue with my cars, I tested on my Peugeot 206 and Toyota Yaris. Both has the same problem like this.
Well, this is just fyi.
Wasted 22 euro
Yup. I know this one. Have seen chargers that don't fit the socket properly. The right charger should look more like this. http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b140838.jpg Take note of the collar just in front of the silver pin at the end. The collar holds the charger in place. I had an exact charger like this for my Diamond2 and it fitted perfectly. It's not the cars fault. All the sockets in the cars are the same - normalized.
Yes, that's the one. I have couple of them actually. But they are for mini-USB.
I was thinking to buy the converter from mini to micro. Then, I thought, Ok, new phone ... why not new charger? ... Then read suggestion to buy genuine HTC car charger. It turned out a mistake.
I think, this would be fine:

Yea, should work. But You need to be superduper sure about the Amps output of the charger. There are stories on the forums about chargers that are too weak to charge the phone during GPS + GPRS operation. I wonder if they would menage to charge a phone operating just the GPS (non GPRS related turn-by-turn navigation program). Anyway, in case You buy one of these, give us a call if it menages to charge the phone like it should.
Thanks, I read that thread, that's why I bought that HTC CC C200.
From the picture above, it said: Output 5VDC, 1A
Is this what we are looking for?
I know, it could be different in reality.
PS: Is there any tool to really measure this output?
i use this one :
http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=489767
About 12/13 €
I have the original charger and have no problems with it.
I have the HTC C200 unit and it fits perfectly in my cars lighter socket without any issues.

I have original HTC C200 charger and it fits without any problem in cars lighter - Ford C-max.
Do you need to really push it down?
Will it "click" to the lighter?
I tried to push it and I saw the "HTC" text turned on ... When I loose my hand, it turned off.
As I said, I was thinking this is an issue with my cars (Peugeot 206 station wagon, Toyota Yaris), but both have this loosen issue.
I purchased the HTC CC C200 also and have exactly the same problem. My car is a Peugeot 206. As you say, the charger needs to be pushed quite firmly in, and with mine, the side connectors need to be aligned also. Its okay when I've found the right position, but the slightest touch against the device can easily stop it from charging. I haven't decided yet whether to request a refund/exchange for something else.
Nope no need to manipulate it to keep charging. As soon as I plug it in the HTC light comes on and I can twist the unit and pull on the usb cable when its connected and it keeps charging.
Tried it in both a Mazda 6 and a Holden Commodore and fits snug in both cars.

In car charger
I bought this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380220708739&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
For £1.95 including delivery.
Works a treat in my Skyline. (clang)
Guys,
I see some of you suffer from a loose connections with the cig charger.
The two metal trips on the side of the charger are meant to keep the charger in place. And its a contact point ofcourse. Its a kind of a spring. You can easilly try to use a scewdriver to flex/pull it a little bit more outward. It probably needs a little push like that for it to stick in its place.
I did this once and it worked after 3 minutes of fiddling.
good luck

I have the OEM charger and have no problem in my MINI
i got two original htc chargers and had the same problem ( wouldn't stay in charger and would pop out very easy ) i bent the metal clips and was ok .but then the charger wouldn't work .there is a problem with the cable at the mini usb end ( charger was for a diamond ). my problem is that i think they are original but really might be FAKE chargers
any feedback on the output of this charger? i've recently purchased the belkin 1amp usb charger however this is not sufficient to power the phone during heavy use (gps, sat nav, music player etc). can anyone confirm that the official one can?
I have the original charger as well. Just take some care when pushin it in and it works fine.
Can people tell which charger gives enough power to charge the Desire during heavy use (3G data+gps) ? My old one (Genuine HTC Pharos) is supposed to give 1A but my Desire keeps discharging (slowly but surely).
Which wireless charger do you use for your car and does it fast charge if the cable and charger are the correct rating?
I'm using the Mous magsafe case with the Scosche magsafe mount. It charges at 15w which is good enough for me, however the cable is proprietary, built-in, and super long. The mount wobbles a bit on bumpy roads, but the phone isn't going to fall off.

I'm thinking of getting this too. Does it charge the P7P well? Does the holder clamping the volume buttons affect anything? I assume they're not so tight they're triggering the buttons.

How do you release the phone on this one? I can see it says "touch" near the bottom but my concern is that that's near where you would swipe up to go home and you may accidentally touch that part and release the phone when you don't want to.

I bought the KKM charger but only get between 7 and 9 Watts of charging. I tried the included cable and cig lighter adapter (crazy blue lites on it) and a few other combos. All gave me the same result. I will keep using my QC3.0 cig lighter adapter without the crazy blue lites and LED voltage indicator.
I wonder how you get 15W. Are you using a case? I have the caseology case which is pretty thin.
I am happy that my volume buttons are no longer completely covered. It was on sale for $23 on Amazon, so I will be keeping it.
EDIT: The KKM charger is going back to Amazon. Two issues for me. I still use a USB-c wired headset when making phone call. The bottom lip blocks the USB-c port. Second, the touch center to open the arms is not reliable. I was futzing with all afternoon. I am back to using this charger, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09N6Y23WL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

Can you please give us an update on how it works?
I am especially interested in if it interferes with any of the buttons and what kind of wireless charging rate that you get.
Thanks
PS: I see the price for this on eBay is $60 to $80 dollars! That is a high price. And it uses a proprietary cable vs. USB-c.

so after using the huawei car charger for a couple weeks, i am very happy with it. it fast charges and it doesnt disconnect all the time. well at least i havent noticed it disconnecting which is more than i can say for all the other ones ive tried. i approve.
I did get it from ebay though because of that lovely huawei ban #murica, but it's worth it. i lucked out and found a shipper in the US so it didnt take long to arrive but while remembering the model number i found a couple newegg listings now. just one thing to keep in mind that the manuals will be in chinese but that shouldnt be a problem. no need for the manual. another side note, if you do get it...you do not need the usb c to go into the charger and the cigarette lighter. you only need to plug the cigarette lighter into the car and plug it's cable into the charger. you can use the extra usb c port on the cigarette lighter for anything else.
