I ordered and received my TC from Clove Technology (UK) since it is still not available in my country (Slovenia). Now to the problem - the power adapter which arrived with it is UK type which is not compatible with continental electric outlets. Since TC is still not available here, I can't buy a spare one, but I can get it for Tytn II (Kaiser) or Touch/Touch Dual.
Can anyone confirm that they are compatible and I can safely use it for charging my TC? So far I survive with USB charging.
Thanks
Power adapter - plug converter
Maybe you just need a power plug UK to EU converter. Here, in Serbia it's just a few hundred Dinars (approx 2-3 EUR)
(or simply charge from USB)
Chinese have power plugs compatible with the whole world - checked out.
I received a UK power plug with my TC and swapped it for the US one that I used for my Tilt (Kaiser). I also kept and use the USB cable from the Tilt for the TC. I've had no problems with either - as long as they fit (miniUSB on one end, power plug or USB on the other) they should be fine.

I am looking for a serial cable with power connector so I can use the serial port while charging the MDA II (as well as the MDA I).
Does anyone know where I can buy one (or actually many of them)?
I live in the Netherlands, but mailorder is fine as well.
im pretty sure my old XDA1 serial cable i got from the o2 shop had a power socket adapter on it too :\ it was £15 from the o2shop uptown...
Thanks. In the Netherlands they do have the serial cable but none with power. I cannot even by the connectors themselves (so without wiring).
I just bought two at this site: http://pc-mobile.net/xda.htm, hope they deliver...
Hi
I'm looking for an NZ plug for the HTC USB charger.
I know I can use a UK - NZ adapter, but I was hoping to find a 'slot in' NZ adapter to use with my existing USB Plug ( as supplied by HTC)
They sell the full travel pack here:
http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_8&products_id=765
Which includes the NZ head, but it's £29.95 !!
If anyone has one they want to sell, please let me know
Any Ideas ?
Thanks
Just found my tomtom main / usb charger that I bought in NZ..
Comes with US, UK, AUS/NZ & Euro plugs and cost me £15.00
Spec is: output 5v - 1.0A
I presume this should work as it's the same out out as the HTC.
This is available for £7.97 here:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tomtom-4A00-182-5A00-081-A05T2-05MU-USB-Wall-Charger-/310157216511
You would need a USB / Micro SB cable.
Can some one please confirm this will work !!
I'd hate to damage my new desire
Thanks
I also had a charger marked 5v and 1 amp - works fine.
Quick question.
After I got my HTC replaced due to pink screen, I got the new one and the AC adapter that came on the pack was no longer the TC P300 but a small TC B250. Does any one recognizes this and why the pack are being shipped with dif adapter?
I am waiting on HTC reply. Because there is nothing on the webpage or their support know nothing about existence of this adapter.
I think the new AC adapter TC B250 is now standard issue with UK Desires. I got one with my Desire from Handtec but they didn't supply any the actual UK plug (or any plug) with it!
Yep, apparently only to UK Ireland their shipping those adapters. I am trying to get a foretold explanation from HTC so I can update the post.
You mentioned you no plug at all... did they replace the adapter or how did you sort it?
When charging your phone have you notice any issues that of you charge overnight when you unplug it on the morning the battery has 5% off the 100% with np usage?

thanks for the reply. I am discussing this issue with handtec at the moment. at this stage I would say they are skeptical. I can't comment about the charging performance as I can't use it without a plug!
makes sense
Let's us know about how its going you case. I believe there is no much information about this new adapter. I am still trying to get a product reference or description off HTC but they don't seem to have it. On the accessories page on HTC website I can't find any mention to such model, either in european website neither in the US one..
Here is HTC reply:
" Hello, Thank you for your reply, The device itself is UK specific which is why it came with a UK charger. We cannot change it for an EU one, sorry but you can contact with your retailer. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC.
Hi Larbac, I thought I would give you an update. Handtec sent me a replacement charger but it is the old style one with the trapeziodal housing. So maybe in time I can find a 3 pin plug for the TC B250 on ebay but until then it will gather dust.

Interesting, as it looks like there are no information about this adapter and whenever you complain the ones they replace with are the old TC P300. That's weird this situation... somewhere, someone is packing this adapter into the phone boxing and this must be recognized somewhere... I just don't know how...
When I complained near my provider and they would like to give me an adapter they had in store. some they normally use for their own phones. So I kept mine.
thanks for update
Some news...
for the first time I see this adapter on the web. Some one is selling them on UK.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-H...PDACharger&hash=item4150951f7e#ht_1501wt_1137
Apart from this my contact with HTC ended on a phone call where they offered me a new charger. I think they though the all purpose was to have and european plug.. While I wanted to know if I can get adapters... Now I have to carry 2 adapters arround..
But the charger they gave me is from previous, older HTC models with USB connection and a micro USB adapter...
I am just tired and I am not continue on the conversation about this issue...
Can you get USA and European two-pin plug tops for the B250 charger? I can't see them anywhere, so why make it 110/240V 50/60Hz if there's only the included UK 3-pin head? The extra cost of including the other two with the phone would be pennies.

As far as I am aware those plugs do not exist. At least I could not find them. And when I queried HTC about they simply post me an adapter from old HTC with an USB 2 MicroUSB adapter.
Did anyone find a place where they sell only the plug? If someone wants to trade a UK plug for a EU plug, hit me up.
It's really stupid to buy a new charger when we could simply change the plug..
Hey guys, I live in the U.S. and am extremely dissappointed by the Euro socket charger for the HTC desire. I need a United States wall socket for it, and cant find it online. Does anybody know where I can find one? Thanks in advance.-rs0cal
As it's USB, you can just buy a standard international adapter with various socket/plug fittings

mine came with a US socket, don't know if it's because mine is from Telstra (US 3G version). i'd go to BestBuy or TMobile as well; they sell aftermarket USB wall power units.
And I am from EU, and mine came with US plug
Funny things happen..
Yeah i guess so. Its a A8181 from Mexico I think, since the box is all written in spanish.
Will do, I'll check out my local T-mobile for socket options. Thanks all'.
I got a charger with the option to change plug. Which is nice.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Mine also comes with the USB plug adaptor and two slot ons, one for the UK/Ireland and one for US.
Strange your one not coming with one.
i got a telstra one also and it only came with the aussie plug for the ac adapter
as in it was in 3 pieces, some sort of universal usb adapter brick, a usb cable, and the plugin piece that slides onto the usb adapter brick, and the sline in plug piece is aussie only, came with nothing else.
so i gotta charge it via computer usb for now til i buy something else...
Well there's always the chance that those of us on here who don't travel may be up to just posting over the part that is needed....3-4 quid postage is nothing after all for helping out a fellow XDA member.
I received my tablet from Amazon today with an AC adapter and U.S. plug which slides on to the adapter. Obviously the plug itself is interchangeable with plugs from other countries - where are they? Need one for Aus.

Just use a converter plug like I did. Works just as well. It's unlikely they will have AUS/NZ plugs for the adapter because the device isn't meant to be sold here.
Currently using a converter but it makes it a bit bulky. Considering the minimal amount of original/aftermarket accessories available at this stage, maybe I'll have to wait a few more weeks/months?
I am also looking for one of these I am sure there is an adapter for AU they have one for the UK and Europe in the one box.
Just bend the plugs with pliers.

Got my replacement tablet a couple of weeks ago and it include a power plug adapter for AUS, UK, US and EUR. All slide onto the original charger. Still haven't seen them for sale separately.
