Hi every one!
As you can see, all us Diamond owners has a Weird USB conection, is not so standard comparing to the Mini USB!
BUT! IT FITS, and IT WORKS ANYWAY!
I was on a trip, and forgot my USB cabel, i couldn't charge or use the Phone as a modem, så a go the idea, lookt att some pictures and, tryid out!
I could charge my battery and i could use my phone as a modem.
Here is the picture of a USB 8-pin mini USB ( HTC USB ) And a Standard Mini USB 4-pin.

I guess that the other pins are for audio and other stuff
Try it!
Any Standard Mini USB works
Thanks for sharing but I think we all knew that one already.
And we should call you Amerigo Vespucci, but I`d be happier if I could name you Google or Search sorry
i hardly ever use the HTC cable with any of my HTC phones... to start with , my HTC USB cable is in the mains charger!
Give the guy a break. I remember when I first tried my charger and USB cable that I had with a previous HTC phone and found out it worked. I plugged it in to my Diamond VERY gingerly and winced, hoping not to fry my phone. Hallalujah! I remembered saying to myself. Now I don't have to buy another charger or cable!
I just had that HALLELUJAH moment myself! Thanks

I'm nominating you for funniest avatar awards! At least we'll all be able to take you seriously.
But in regards to your comment, yeah as long as the voltage is the same you're generally pretty safe. The ampage rating don't tend to mean that much as the device will only draw what it needs (in the case that your charger is rated at 1000mAH but your device draws less than that). In the case your charger can't provide enough ampage then I believe the charging process simply takes longer that it would with the 'correct' charger.
If the voltage is different then you can cause serious damage to your device and who knows you could theoretically start a fire.
Rejoice! I've been *****ing all morning about me forgetting the cable at work, and now for the weekend it's low on power. I've been browsing sites trying to figure out what cable i needed to order and i came up short - except for ordering an original which wasn't in stock.
Consider this a 'thanks' and a bump

Hello, ive bought these on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-CAR-CHARGER.../180497049900?pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories
http://cgi.ebay.com/Micro-USB-Data-...ARE-BB-Storm-/170525850383?pt=PDA_Accessories
Trying to use them to charge my phone in my car, but no go. When i connect the cable it asks me if i want to connect to kies, mass storage etc. I just press the back button, and phones tells me its charging, when in fact, its not, battery is actualy draining, and it gives me some weird msg about sd card. (In norwegian)
Any way to resolve this, or do i have to buy an original samsung charger?
did you try the USB cable on your computer?
does it charge when you plug it into the computer using the USB cable you got off ebay?
possibly the car charger is bad, if the USB cable works on your computer
I havent yet, i will do so and report back
The cable does not charge in the pc, and i can not mount my sd card on my pc with the cable, so, i guess its the cable then
Maybe this will do the trick: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Sync-Charge...895319?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20b30c83d7
They say its for samsung i9000
Also! have you made sure the charger supplys the right amps, if you get one even with the right voltage if not the right amps you will still get battery drain! I had this issue when the gf's blackberry charger got swapped with my hero charger by accident, took me ages to realise why the battery was still draining when using co pilot on long car journeys!!
get this one instead
2000 mAh (2A) charger
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.25177
i'm using it, super good

Get the HTC C200 charger.
I paid a lot for this phone so paying 15 euros dollars for a car charger makes sense
paying more for something that comes from the same manufacturing center (China) will not make it any better.
Thanks for all the good tips. Ill check those out

I've used cheap ass car chargers and all they do is get hot and aren't very efficient. Have a HTC mini usb charger and it stays cool while charging, which means it isn't wasting any power...so to me...its worth paying extra

I purchased this product mainly because I was sick and tired of running down one battery and then having to switch without a way to charge the first one. So at the end of the day I would have two dead batteries. This can charge the battery in your phone as well as a spare. You can charge any size battery in the spare battery tray, which is really cool.
You can see from the image how it works. Because of the stupid design of the Epic4g charging port, it requires a cable to be plugged into the top of the phone. There are two led's, one red for the spare battery in the back and one blue for the phone. There are two ways to charge the phone, USB and a wall plug. The spare battery requires that the wall plug be used to charge. The phone will charge with either the wall plug or the USB cable.
The dock does not fit any extended case. The Epic naturally leans back in the slot, but it can be wiggled forward a good inch.
From the 10 minutes I have had and used this thing, I would absolutely recommend it. Please ask any questions you have.
does it come with the spare battery??
No. It comes with the dock and a wall charger.
I think you may have sold me on one. I have seen these before with an OEM battery but since I have Yoobao and my OEM battery already I don't need another. The price is right. thats for sure,
Yea, I figured it would be great for my needs. I dont need audio out or anything like that. Just needed something to charge the batteries while im not using them. Works flawlessly for that.
The blue charging LED on this thing is seriously the strongest LED I have seen. Huge blue circle on my ceiling.
what is wrong!?!?
The original broke so i tried others from amazon uk and none of them seem to give enough power! im charging with the wall adapter thing not through a usb port.
Anyone got any recommendation?
only UK sites if you do have any recomendations pls and thank you! desperate here!
shall i just get the original from htc site? they are kinda expensive though
Got pics now:
Original HTC cable (borrowed from mate):

Something else is wrong here.
A USB cord is just a cord. Aside from it being cut in half there's like literally nothing that can be wrong. It's just copper wire allowing electrons to move freely through it.
If it wasn't transmitting data, then sure. It can be the cord as low quality cords can disrupt digital data flow. But when then I use $1 cords from Monoprice.com and they work just peachy.
But multiple cords not charging? It's just a wire. All it does it carry electricity from the charger to the phone. There is nothing special about the official HTC cord.
Are you sure the charger works okay? Will it charge another device? Are you sure the phone is okay? It could be the battery as well.
Phone chargers are fairly universal, as most smartphones have a USB charger that outputs 1amp. So see if you can find another one from a friend or co-worker and test to see if your phone charges faster with another charger.

Use the standard HTC thing that connects into the sockets, then I recommend using a Samsung USB cable.
I had the same issue and found out my wire was broken :/.
Thanks!
Hope I Helped
Added some screenshots check it out!
Hi, recently my Asus charger stopped working & unfortunately can't find any of these being sold here in my country, my data cabel is working fine so I was wondering if I can use a laptop charger that has a female usb slot with output of 15v-----3.5a to charge my tab, the original charger had 15v----1.2a.
Any help provided will be welcome.

The only drawback is that the stock charging brick would provide 2 grounds to the cable and then magically the tablet end would have to provide
4 grounds to the table both [usb grounds] and the ground switch and the body of the charger.... Thus the reason it will not charge from a PC.... I would say if it charges it go for the gold... Maybe just dont leave it on for an extended period of time... Hope that helps... Thx lj

I am worried that it might burn the tab, so would appreciate more details regarding what happens with a higher Ampare.

I hear you... I am not electrical genus but on something as sensitive as the electronics are I would stay away from it... I mean worst cast scenario
The battery could melt or even exploit....Ive seen it happen.... It was a car battery but It took off like a rocket...
Thanks for your replies, although some more specific replies regarding chargers voltage and ampares will be more helpfull, I see some 3.1a dual usb chargers being sold over eBay so, still want to know that what difference will higher ampare make to charging and the device it charges.

Well, the voltage should match, but I think amperes are a max. value, so it should not be smaller than that of the original adaptor. But then - I am a software guy and happy to stand corrected.

I've got my hands on a choetech quick charge 3.0 wall charger. I've been using it on my HTC A9 for a bit now and it works great. I don't pay much attention to q.c 2.0 and 3.0 but it does make a difference when you look for it
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Q5WT6W

The unit itself is very slim and easy on the pocket by having a straight design. The one thing I hate on wall units is when the power pins are facing to the side of the wall charger as it makes it hard to carry in the pocket.
Here are some pictures of it:

The info of this charger are the following:
CHOE Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Charger Designed with Lasted Technology
Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0: The latest, fastest and most efficient USB charging technology in the world. Up to 4X faster than standard chargers, able to charge compatible devices to 80% in just 35 minutes.
I'm very happy with this charger and so far I enjoy it. The products by choetech are my recent favorite. I've found their products to be at anker or even better than. The USB cables in their products last me while ankers tend to stop working a lot. Here is a picture of the included USB cable.
I did find an issue that causes an annoying humming when the unit is plugged into a power source.
I also might add that I'll be getting the updated version soon so I'll update this post if I notice any difference.
If you've got any questions regarding the product please do ask below!
What's different in the updated version of this charger?

A9 not yet support QC 3.0
Here are some images of my UK version of the plug. Brilliant device and use it with my A9. As always choetech turn out some of the nicest 3rd part accessories out there.
I have same charger. 5-100% in 90 minutes :|
What's your charging time ?
100% in around 85 minutes and the backup is awesome....in love with this sexy phone
