Does it have only one usb plug?
Does this mean that you can only sync/charge and not charge with a mains charger?
The reason I ask is that my old P3600i cradle had two usb plugs, one for sync and another one that took the mains charger.
NO extra slot for charging for additional batt??
You can pretty much see there isnt a slot for another battery, but there is a option to change insert where the phone goes in to put a bigger batter. I dont know if MathijsB has it included though, my purchase it doesnt say anything about getthing that insert with it though

It can be charged and synchronised with HTC Touch Diamond AC Adaptor UK TC B100 (not included) or HTC Touch Diamond Data Cable DC U300 (USB/miniUSB) (not included).
This cradle comes with two inserts (the plastic holders) for Touch Diamond and Touch Diamond extended battery and it also supports the inline connection of the following optional accessories:
HTC Touch Diamond Multifunction Audio Cable YC A200
TV Out Cable TC A110 (pre-released)
thnx to Blob8me for the answer
Is it Possible to:
Sync via USB and Charge via normal Power Cable?
HTC Touch Diamond AC Adaptor UK TC B100 <<< Is Power=>USB, too!
Is theire a "round" 5-6-12V Powerinput?

The TCB100 is an AC mains charger and does not sync at all, so this reference is incorrect.

As the cradle has only one usb input, it seems the only way to charge the diamond with this cradle is to use the strandard usb cable and slow charge over usb.
Could a mini-usb splitter be used to achieve both at once?
As slick as it looks, no one else feel this dock is a bit of a rip off for £30?
It doesnt even come with a spare charger!!
it's quite a ripoff, I wanted to buy one too, but they are too expensive right now. i'm now waiting until it gets cheaper. €20 is absolute maximum i'd pay for it. I mean, it's just plastic, it probably only takes $1 to produce it.
Its not Possible to Charge the diamond without power on @ pc?
Are USB-Splitter available? 1 Cable to PowerPlug and 1 Cable to USB)>PC?
Blackberry micro use chargers are all over the place. do any of these work adequately with our phone? Do they supply enough amps/volts?
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
without having testet this, i'd assume any USB Charger with an output of 5 Volts and 500 mA can do the job. I am using the original Charger, the one from my Sony Ericsson X1 and also a Sanyo Mobile Booster (Portable Battery Charger). They all work well
Charger from the hd2 works fine too! its all becoming very standardised now
Yeah, it's just I heard that certain chargers don't appear to work very well, with some people reporting that their phone has run out of charge when going on long journeys whilst using the phone as satnav - so using cables which employ the correct ampage/voltage could be important.
The micro USB Blackberry charger works fine on my Desire

i'm using the HTC original charger car charger from my Touch HD, it's 2 amp and charges the phone in no time. Needed to get a mini usb to micro usb adapter from ebay though.
The Blackberry ones seem to be 0.5 amps and take ages to charge.

Sorry, totally missed this. I just put 'usb charger 1a' into the search. The seller was 'arygroup'. It's not as quick as the one it comes with but it's fast enough!
The phone says it is charging from USB, whereas it doesn't with the proper charger. Not sure why yet...
I received my car holder with car charger a few days ago, it is labeled as a Moto.V8, and should output 1.5 mAh.
I don't know if it geniune Motorola charger or clone, always a surprise with eBay
Haven't tested it yet, all I hope is that it doesn't drain my phone while I'm using GPS navigation.
I've read some stories that certain chargers can charge, but when using GPS applications they will drain.
There are a couple of other posts about the same thing. Lets try and keep it to one thread. Better for updates etc
For those in the UK sainsburys are doing a 1amp car charger for 6 quid.
It includes two usb sockets, and is white.
When plugged into my desire, the phone reports that it is being charged by AC, and sat nav dosent drain the battery (in fact it still charges.)

From another thread, it appears that the phone will only draw 500 mA unless the USB data pins are shorted together. A few minutes with a soldering iron and the charger works as well as the HTC one.
If you have any old HTC (Diamond etc) 1A chargers lying around just buy one of the Mini to Micro USB Charger Adapter Converters for 99p including p+p from ebay and use them!
I have run some tests on 500mA chargers and would be interested in hearing how someone else has got on with one (instead of a 1A).
At first I was using a 5 Volts & 500 mA Blackberry charger with a cheap micro USB cable and getting very slow charging. At first I thought this was the 500mA rating but then I got a brand new official Nokia micro USB cable and it seems to charge at a comparable rate to my official charger. I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it other than perhaps the quality of the cable has a lot more effect on charging than I thought (I don't think the data connectors have been shorted on the Nokia cable, I can transfer data fine using it)

Seems to be the same output as the standard HTC mains charger..
Would this work ?
What about this one:
Input: AC 100-240V 50/60Hz 100mA
Output: 5V = 150mA
?
My HTC Desire came with UK plug and I cannot use it.
Tesco are doing a cigarette lighter splitter with a USB 5v 1A socket for £4-99.
It'll be getting a trial run down to Le Mans later.

I can confirm this =P. But you DON'T need to buy a new usb cord, just use the cord that comes with the desire and plug it into the Touch diamond Charger
I had the Touch diamond and Im using the touch diamond charger for this phone cuz it LOOKS way better (when i plug it in, HTC lights up ), and it charges almost twice as fast (Difference is very noticeable)
I was manically driving around to find a car charger, and EVENTUALLY found one at a Vodacom shop(in South Africa). It was made by Body Glove, and it's a 360 rotating device, with a USB port on it. The Micro USB cable that came with it is retractable, but I haven't used it. I used the cable that came with my phone. Will test it later. I drove about 200 plus miles with it, and my charge was good after the trip. My phone is still less than a week old, so the battery charge hasn't quite gotten to where it should be. Cost me about R99 (About $12)
By the way, the Micro USB connector will supposedly be the only connector on phones by 2012. It has apparently been standardized, so that people will just get a phone, but that all chargers will work on all phones. Too much waste from old chargers they say.
Looking for a desktop dock that provides PC connectivity AND a decent AC charge.
I understand that it will need a seperate charger as well as the PC USB connection.
Don't mind spending a bit of money on it either, just don't want to get another crappy one off Ebay that doesn't do the job properly.
I'm also after a nice dock for work. mobilefun.co.uk have a few at not too bad prices. That said only one of them had a dock with an extra micro usb port on the back for faster AC charging.
Mine has a USB port on the back for faster AC charging. It doesn't work, regardless of which charger I use to power it!
I am very happy with this one from Proporta
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=5068&t_mode=des
It has a nice support and does a good charge each evening for me. I could not ask for more for 17 euros.

But does this also charge your phone when you computer is off?
I think that is one of the main questions of the op.
Yeah what I'm after is a dock that will use the AC supply for charging and USB for PC connectivity.
Did you even visit the page and read the product description?
This handy product plugs into a standard USB port and includes AC power input with LED indicator for fast charging using your standard AC power supply

I'm ashamed to say I didn't. I have now though and am about to order one.
Cheers guys!
The desire will only use 500mAh of power regardless of how much is avalible unless the data pins on the usb are shorted.
This means you cannot have fast charging and USB at the same time.

This handy product plugs into a standard USB port and includes AC power input with LED indicator for fast charging using your standard AC power supply (not included with this product). "
Therefore it doesn't include the AC adaptor.

What he said. That is a built-in Desire feature to prevent frying usb ports.
I have made a USB dummy socket with the data pins shorted and when the cradle is not plugged into the PC I have it plugged in this dummy socket to boost the charging. The cradle is powered from an external adapter. I found out that shorting the data pins while the Desire is plugged in cradle will not boost charging, you need to insert Desire in the cradle while the pins are shorted.
Now I have 3 batteries and I have to find a USB-based charger for these batteries. Checked ebay and found they're plugged, but I found the quality isn't good and it makes a lot of noise to the power line (it causes loud hissing on amplifier and kills powerline network), so this is not an option for me.
Since I have centralized USB charger (modified from 7 port powered USB hub), I am looking for USB based battery only charger, but so far I only found a cradle with some other accessories which I don't use.
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Cradle-Dock...110463?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb51d953f
Any suggestions?
Ive seen many universal types on ebay for years but haven't tried them myself.
There are a few $5 clip on style, desktop style and $30 model that comes with a car charger, but for $25 difference I would rather charge via a USB car charger to power the $5 lol

You dont have to have a modded cable if your car charger already has the data pins shorted. Im using the motorola rapid charger too and it works fine, it will charge your phone as AC and give enough power to recharge the battery with navigation on. if you want something a bit better you can try this one , they ship to canada. My rapid charger broke so i bought it a few days ago. Reviews says the trident will give around 8-900mA, the moto charger outputs around 6-700mA.
I would only buy a premium brand here. If you see how no name mains adaptors are made... the risk of blowing up something expensive is just too big.
I wnent with the Sony AN-400 / 401, because it is rated at 1.2 amps exactly, is small, and was reported to work fine.
For some regulator disasters:
http://hackaday.com/2012/08/15/buying-cheaper-electronics-and-not-saving-money/ <- a USB car charger without components, putting 12 volts straight on USB.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi-b9k-0KfE <- teardown of imitation apple mains adapter, showing no output protection and very little gap between mains voltage and output circuit. Good info, but style of presentation is not my cup of tea.
So that is why I went with a premium brand.
that's one charger from one factory that some guy that didnt know what he was doing and ordered thousands, without testing them. He probably went for the 25 cent super deluxe model...
Well reviewed chargers from xda members here and not to mention the hundreds of people on amazon are a safe bet. Here's a 8+page thread on the charger i linked. Your premium brand name sony charger is made in china too.

That looks ok,but I cant find a good quality usb charge only cable that ships to canada :
I have a el cheapo usb charger from ebay and I used my usb cable that came with the phone...and when i pluged it in it switches from AC charge to USB ever couple of seconds back and forth...so I want to try something different.
If you're into rooting and custom kernels, most of them have a fastcharge option where you don't need to have a special usb cable, or, attempt to short the D- and D+ lines.
Monoprice has a 2.1A bullet charger for a bit cheaper:

i cant say for sure until i get it sometime next week but i think so. im in canada too and couldnt find the powergen anywhere that would ship here.
There are some other brands that are good too but i like this one cause it's dual usb like my old moto rapid charger. If you dont need that you can get some smaller ones that will work just make sure they are well review and can output around 1A. The one that bfspider spider recommends is a good bet too since monoprice is pretty reputable store and will ship to canada.

You can try to mod this one in the mean time, just take it apart and attach the two data pins(they are the two middle ones). Solder is best but if you cant you can just use pilers and bend the pins until they touch. i did this with a few of my chargers too and it works to make them AC but it wont increase the output if its low to begin with.

FYI, this adapter should allow most existing "iPad" chargers (1.2A or higher) + any USB cable to work well with the Nexus 4.
The problem is that Apple products deviate from USB charging standards. As a result, most chargers try to be compatible with iDevices and also deviate from the standards. So when standard-compliant devices try to follow the standards, the chargers refuse to follow the standards, and the devices get upset with each other. Fortunately, they fall back and settle on a lower-power charging rate.
If you want to buy chargers that are very clear on what they support, check out MediaBridge (also available on Amazon).

So i got that Trident charger that you recommended....the quality looks good...but when I tried it in the 1A and 2A port with the usb cable that comes with it,it shows USB charging but when I use the HTC usb cable that came with my HTC one S it shows AC charging....its so confusing and I just dont get it....that HTC cable is a sync and charge cable.
The generic T-Mobile car charger available at T-Mobile stores charges just fine. I believe it is at least 1 amp. Its black, has a purple white small led indicator when charging. The USB end looks like a little block and the cord is an accordion type and it also has a a female USB slot in it to plug something else in at the same time but I believe whatever USB cord you plug in there only charges at .5 amp. With this charger I can run navigation and Bluetooth and Pandora and message at the same time and it will charge.
Sent from my often RMA'd Nexus 4, So that I can use the one I'm using now when I get the 6th and hopefully final one.
I just dont get it why does it with one cable show USB charging and with the other HTC cable AC charging?:S
