Diamond AC Adapter, Adapter - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories

The AC (Mains) charger for my UK version of the Diamond came with, of course), the adapter to fit UK power outlets. The transformer/charger is cleverly made with a separate adapter (the two/three prong part that actually fits in the power outlet) that can be changed to meet the country standard. Does anyone know where I can buy a US style adapter for the charger?

Did anyone know of a place where I can buy the Amercan adapter for the charger.

Where to get charger plugs?

Hi,
Does anyone know where to get other charger plugs to put on the HTC charger? I would like a US one. You can buy a whole kit of a new charger with all the plugs but that is kinda unnecessary I think.
I would also like the same info, as I would like a euro one and a US one for when I travel. I had 3 'heads' for my iPhone charger, and would like the 'heads' for the HTC charger too.
Any USB charger should work (I use several brands) so perhaps just cheaper to buy a generic american USB charger for a couple of quid off Ebay?
I wouldn't bother buying the charger plug... Just buy a new charger, I bought a Motorola V3 charger from ebay, and it works fine

Phone Charger

I ordered my Nexus One without a charger and was wondering if I could just use my iPhone USB charger with the supplied USB lead?
I'm guessing that's all the charger is right? Just a charger with a USB port or a miniUSB charger?
all nexus one orders come with a charger. They also come with a usb cable, back-slip carrying case, and a headset.
Not when you want it shipped to the UK.
It adds a charger to the basket so I just deleted it
If it is in the box I'm guessing I will still get the US charger and can just use an adaptor to use in the UK..
Actually I have used the apple iphone charger with usb cables to charge a BlackBerry 8900 and a G1. I would guess it would work for this, but its your phone and your money if you burn it out
yeah youll get a US charger then. In any case all USB chargers are the same. if you have any USB charger with a USB port, you can jsut connect your included USB cable to the charger.

this has micro usb i believe and the charger's you are talking about are all mini-usb. not compatible.
this is not true. the side that connects to the charger itself is still all regular USB. both mini and micro USB cables have the same pinout and electrical output standard.
i know. i'm saying that the end of the cable that plugs into his G1 will NOT FIT into the nexus one because it's MINI USB and the nexus one is MICRO USB.
thats not wat hes asking. hes asking if an iphone wall charger (which simply has a standard USB port on the other end) will work.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry

i think your wrong with the "all usb chargers are the same"
my usb charger (micro usb) for my bluetooth headset will not charge a cliq, it its the same in appearance, but somehow it is actually different
however, the charging cable i had when i had a cliq charged my bluetooth, but I avoided it because it was obvious the 2 chargers where different.

correct. Certain chargers have different amp ratings. For example, GPS chargers generally require higher amount of amperage than cell phones, and certainly a lot more than bluetooth headsets
the g1 charger will not work with the nexus one. I have both phones. The behold II charger will work with a nexus one phone. my gf had the behold ii phone.

You mean plug-wise it won't work right? Because I just took my USB charger, took a Mini-USB to Micro-USB converter and used the G1 charger to charge the N1 and it works.
I'm not sure about the Nexus One but I know on the N900 you could have the problem of that charger not supporting the Data pins(D+ & D-) to communicate with the device and establish a power draw rate, in which case the charger won't work with the phone. The solution was either clipping the data lines in the USB cable, or shorting out the pins in the charger. I doubt the Nexus will be that picky about chargers though.
Usb Charger
Hi,
I just have ordered mine from US. I am from Europe and i will definitely have the problem with the originally supplied charger.
As i am aware all usb ports works with the same voltage - 5V., only amp rate is different. We just need the output amp rate of the original charger and have to be careful not to exceed it. The smaller amp rates are OK (just the charging time will be more.
For example in the originaly stated data from Google says:
"Power and battery
Removable 1400 mAH battery
Charges at 480mA from USB, at 980mA from supplied charger"
Just one to confirm is the original charger amp rate 980mA as Google stated?
I think you'd better to buy a new mobile phone charger for your nexus one for safety.
Just tested plugging the N1 in directly to computer using a miniusb cable w/ microusb adapter and works perfectly. It detected the phone and did that Mount SD notification. I mounted, transfered couple GB of files w/ no interruptions. Also, it charges it like normal.
Usb standard is 5V, most chargers with usb output should be 5V. The Amp is determined by the Voltage and (electrical)resistantce, check Ohm's law.
However the chargers are probably limited to a certain amperage(max amp output). All chargers I've seen have inscripted input and output values, as long as output values are within usb standards it should be ok.
I have an iphone car charger with usb out. It stays in the car and charges my family's gadgets no mather the manufacturer/type of device, as long as it supports usb charging.
So theoreticaly it should work. To be safe check the output values on the usb charger.
If n1 came with the american charger you can check the output values of that against the iphone charger output values.
Would a simple US 2-pin to UK 3-pin plug adaptor be fine?
The few gadgets I've got with US plugs I would just buy a UK version plug but since you cant just buy these in any shops (yet) will just have to wait and see what they supply first.
Anyone here with the US charger could you post the output values please

Home/Car Micro USB Charger

There are many options for micro USB car and home chargers out there. Is there any worry that the chargers are not the right configuration for the Nexus One? I don't want a $10 charger blowing up my $600 phone.
For example, can I buy a Blackberry micro USB charger and safely use it on my N1?
Yes... a Blackberry charger will work perfectly, but I think only puts out 700mA, so it'll take a little longer to charge than the 1000mA charger the phone comes with.
I suggest going to monoprice.com. From there you can buy a 1000mA car charger and wall charger both made for USB cables. You can also buy the USB cable with the microUSB connector. I bought 2 cables and one of each charger for a total of about $9.

Retractable car charger?

Been looking for a new car charger for my skyrocket, I'm looking for a retractable usb charger to reduce clutter in my truck. I've been scouring Amazon but I don't think many of them will power the hungry phone with Navigation and Music playing. Anyone have any suggestions?
Find one rated for 1amp, I know eBay has a few
i bought one of these:
http://www.gizmag.com/thanko-release-dual-usb-in-car-charger-low-price/16171/
then i bought a retractable usb cable. The good thing about doing it this way is that I'm able to charge two phones in the car and I can take the cable out and use it on my PC as well.
I has been my experience in the past that the retractable ones do not last long, and often times cause issues with the usb ports on the phones. What I have done is purchased a griffin dual usb port 12v plug, and a short usb cable. And with any excess, I got a few rubber bands from a neighbors daughter that has braces and coiled the remainder of the cable.
Or in vehicle #2, I bought the same griffin 12v plug and then removed the dash bezel and center console and ran the wire underneath that for a good clean look.
Recommend Scosche Dual 2.1A USB Car Charger
I had good luck with cheap retractable cords from ebay (~1/each)
I use them with a Scosche Dual 2.1A (4.2 amps total) USB Car Charger (~$17 on ebay). This charger allows me to use gps navigation on long trips and not drain the battery. My cheaper lower 1amp chargers did not maintain battery power with GPS navigation.

Offical Razer Charger Question

I live in the UK and currently using a the offical razer charger (that plugs into the UK socket) going away next month to the US and wondered if i would need to pickup the US version of the adapter. I was never a fan of using travel plug like devices and now that my travel kit is all USBC i was just thinking its best to use the right plug for the main device which would be the phone.
I have the RavPower 26800mah power bank so can always output power to other devices if needed such as bluetooth headphones as it has USBC PC in/out and standard USB connections which is more than i need
£40 is a bit of a price but didnt want to buy cheap "travel like chargers" also because the US power runs at 120v and UK runs at 240v i believe as the phones quick charge shouldnt make a difference as the lower power in the US is still way more than the requirements for quickcharge meaning it will charge at the same speed.
...would it be cheaper just buy a new power cord??? Mine just uses the standard 3 OOO plug. I have a spare US cord from a previous Toshiba Laptop that works fine on my UK power adapter.

Look on the plug to see whether it states "100-240V, 50/60 Hz" , it will work fine with an adapter.
The Razer charger is a 100-240v (50hz-60hz) adapter, so even though it only has UK prongs on it, the internals of it are capable of running on the US power grid.
All you should need is a standard UK>US adapter, something like this.

Hell you might be able to find one in poundland or the US store equivalent.

I'm sure your question has been answered, but I have the US version in Korea. The charger works fine on 220v with a 110 to 220 plug adapter. Also, I think I saw mention above of a power bank. I have a GIGASTONE model PB-7824, 24000mAH. It has USB-C and it supports fast charge.
