Would this cheap travel charger work ?

as per subject:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=467198433&pf_rd_i=468294
One of the reviews states:
It can connect to four different power sockets - US, UK, Europe and Australia as shown in the picture and accepts any supply from 100 to 240V AC to give an output of +5V 1.0A DC. What may not be clear in the picture is that the cable is a detachable USB lead.

Should this work for the Desire ?

Assuming the review is accurate, yes it should be fine with a USB to MicroUSB cable.

Thanks
The original TomTom charger is rated 5v 1.0A which is the same as the HTC..
So it should be OK

[Q] Scoshe reVIVEII

Anyone using this charger with their Inspire4G?
I've tried using this charger with my phone, with several different cables, including the OEM cable. I can only ever get the phone to charge at the USB rate, not the AC charge rate.
Is this normal or is my charger defective?
http://scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/1921

I would assume thats because the 2.1A is ment for Ipad/Iphone/Ipod devices as they require a larger amp charge.
The 1.0A is ment for all other USB devices.
States that in the description.
Charge your iPad and an additional USB powered device at once
Use your existing USB cables to charge any additional USB powered devices
2.1 Amp USB port for charging iPad
1 Amp USB port for charging additional devices
Were are you getting AC Charge rate / USB Charge rate ?

On both ports, I'm only getting the USB charge rate.

What do you meen USB Charge Rate..
I am going to guess ..
AC Charge Rate = Wall Charger
USB Charge Rate = Computer USB 2.0/3.0

Does car charger port provide enough amps to give full value?

when you go into Settings -> about phone -> Battery
It will show you the charging status. USB Charging typically is no more than 500ma. AC charging should be 1a.
I have an old AT&T brand car charger that charges the phone in "AC" mode.

This is were I am still getting confused.
What ROM are you running, Stock / MIUI / CM7 / or a Rom based off of stock ?
Is it 2.3.3 or 2.2.1 or 2.3.4 ?
I don't have those reading under battery status.
Anyways, I will go ahead and make the assumption that your car charger is busted and need to get it replaced.
This is were I don't get were you are stating AC Charging.
Alternating Current = AC Direct Current = DC
You cannot charge a battery " DC " with an Alternating Current " AC " period. Thats why all battery chargers reguardless of type convert AC power to DC.
Then only thing I can think of is maybe your phone can detect what type of charger it is connected to, displaying it as an AC Wall Charger or a DC Car/USB Charger.
Wall Chargers will generaly charge quicker then a computer USB Charger. Car charger typicaly charge quicker then most wall chargers.
Most Car chargers are very poor at controlling the amperage being supplied. They may stay at the right voltage but rest assured, you hit a 5v 2amp battery with a 5v 10amp charge and your going to fry it. This is the reason I dislike car chargers.
I can only see one of two problems with your Car Charger ;
1: the Car charger is bad
2: your 12 Power source port is not supplying the correct amperage that your car charger requires. IE:
I have the HTC Car dock for my inspire. It has an imput requirement of 12V 5 Amps to operate efficiently. The Power supply I have it plugged into is the 12V 20A Accesory Port in the front of my truck. It works just fine.
If your device requires say 12v 5 Amps to operate efficiently yet your car is only supplying 12v 1 Amp due to bad wiring, old fuses or bad connections your car charger will not charge at idicated levels.

The ROM is simply displaying "USB" if it is drawing 500ma charge, or "AC" if it's drawing 1000ma charge.
I'm running the 2.2.1, the LeeDroid_HD_V.2.0.0 ROM

Ok, so your saying that when you have the Car Charger plugged up and your device connected, your only getting a 500ma charge. When you use your old ATT Car Charger it shows 1000ma.
500ma = .5 Amps
1000ma = 1.0 Amps
If your not getting over 500ma out of your car charger then either 1 of two things.
Car Charger is busted, get it replaced.
Car is not putting out correct Amp - Voltage for the car charge to operate correctly.
Your old car charger could have different requirements and that is the reason it works, your new one could use a deifferent set and may not work.
Regardless, its not working in your car, try it in a friends and see if it works, if not then the charger is broke, if it does, then your car is broke.

Try usiing current widget while charging.. and see the readings
Inspired from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

i don't know what you are talking about here. The 2.1 Amp option is NOT the AC charging rate. It is pretty clear if you look at the stock HTC charger that comes with the phone, it says it outputs "1.5 V at 1A".
And anyways...if you look at the product description on the link you posted, it CLEARLY states the 2.1A is for charging an iPad.

I've used both ports on the reVIVE II, both the 2.1a and the 1a. Both only report the phone charging at 500ma

sorry...i thought you were referring to the AC rate as the 2.1A port, and the USB rate as the 1A port.

Car charger

many of you probably know there's a plug with the cable foe the tf300 but i was wondering if one can use a usb adapter. by the idea the output is 1.2 amps and 15V as you can guess its hard to find a car charger to usb like that but there are many 2amp 5V adapters. also i noticed the official asus wall chargers has both outputs 1.2 amp and 2amp. so my qustion is is it safe to use a 2amp 5V usb car adapter to charge the tf300

[Q] can i use a 5V 2A wall charger to charge the infinity?

I was looking at the Asus wall charger that came with the device and the output states 5v 2a or 15v 1.2a.
Does that mean I can use a 5v 2a wall charger to charge my infinity?
Thanks

No, but it means the Transformer's charger can charge normal USB equipment.

3.0 Quick Chargers

Has someone gathered some experience with Mi5 compatible chargers supporting Quick Charge 3.0?
The original chinese charger that came with the 128GB Mi5 version actually has a QC 3 symbol on the back - while I read it supports just 2.0.
My 'dream' charger should have easy switchable power plugs so it can be easily adjusted to the country's power sockets you're staying in. I remember my old HTC phone once came with 3 different, interchangeable plugs out of the box!

I bought this and works perfectly http://goo.gl/vasfAw

You can also use the Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 products.
I got one for my Mi 5 and its full compatible, shows also quick charge when plugged in.

Is there any significance difference b/w stock xiaomi charger?

Well, lets say the stock charger isn't the best build quality if you ask me, or at least it does'nt look very "trustworthy".
I wouldn't use it without fear about fire... so i never used it

which specific aukey charger are you using? what usb cable are you using? and how do you determine whether it is actually quick-charging or not?
thanks in advance - cheers!

I'm using the AuKey Quick Charge 3.0 with 2 Ports and a "good" USB A 3.0 highspeed cable with 56k resistor.
If the display is off and you wake it up while its on charger, on the bottom you can see a notice if its quick or slow charging.

thanks for your quick reply!
I guess am using the same charger you mentioned (w/ 2 orange usb type a ports) in combination with the stock usb type a to c cable which was shipped with my MI5. The cable the charger came with was of little use as it is was not a type c cable :/
this notification you are talking of however.. how does it look like? atm I have no clue what I should be looking for to be honest
(I also tried an Anker QC 3.0 charger - performance-wise it was a lot worse than the Aukey charger and therefore went right back to Amazon)

I went for the Tronsmart qc3 for both car and regular. Good quality, just make sure you buy a decent cable along.

I think the stock charger isn't a QC 3.0 charger. (And neither is the cable IMO.)
But I am not sure, and not bothered to test. :cyclops:

To those who replied here with tronsmart or aukey QC3 chargers, does it come with a USB type C cable? I cannot find any info about this in google alone. TIA, cheers.

My aukey QC3 charger from amazon Germany came without any cable. I am therefore currently using the stock USB type C cable. I am however not sure whether that cable is 100% compliant and to be honest quite annoyed by all that controversy around the type C standard and QC3 and the incompatibility between both -.-
sent from MI5

Just to have it here:
I am using since March the BlitzWolf QC3.0 charger with a BlitzWolf 3Amps usb type C cable. works fine, charges fast enough.

Well all those chargers charging more faster then the stock one or i worng?

The "anker qc3" charger I tried was definitely charging slower than the stock charger + travel adapter : )

yes this one and maybe the same cable, dunno about the cable.

Hey Guys
Can anyone suggest a good, reputable, certified Qualcomm QC3 charger that has an included USB type-C cable?
I was eyeing on Tronsmart's QC3 1port wall charger, but I found out that it only has the micro-usb cable, and not the Type-C for Mi5.

An Aukey is on the way to me with the cable included.
I earlier suggested the BlitzWolf, but BlitzWolf is not really certified for QC3.
