before i got my galaxy s i used to own the htc desire,
now when i charge the galaxy s with its own charger i never get more than 12 hours of standby and the battery just dies
with the htc desire charger i get more than one day of battery life, actually now after 1d 45min since being unpluged i still got 42% of battery life (with the exact same usage as my everyday usage)
now after checking the output voltage in both i found out that they both output 5volts , but the galaxy s is 0.7 amps, while the desire is 1amp
so do you think that i should keep using the htc desire's charger to charge the galaxy s, or this slight increase in amp can damage the phone.
by the way , i tried 2 different samsung chargers , and they both give me no more than 12 hours of standby time , so i know that i do not have a problem in the charger.
any help will be appreciated
thanks
You are tempting me to buy a htc charger as I am dying to get it past 12 hrs of usage.

I'm in the same situation as you and after charging with HTC charger I got a lot of extra battery life!!
I don't think that the increase in amps could damage the phone or battery
thx for the info i will test this to i'm getting now one day off heavy use with my sgs
report will also follow

The total amount of extra battery life was about 50% for me yesterday. Great!!

Gonna try with my old Diamond's wall charger. 5V 1.0A. Let's see...
oooh! Is it a desire or the desire HD? might buy that charger too!
I didn't even know chargers make a difference? How is it a charger even does that?

For what phone of Desire family is it? Or all of them have the same?
If possible, please tell me the exact code name of adapter
I´ve lost my charger and need new anyway, and this looks like interesting option
Thanks in advance! .)
My Samsung Charger just stopped working and I only have my HTC HD2 charger to use so I haven't got a clue. Just shows how rubbish the Samsung one is though i barely used it as it is and its broken.
This is very peculiar to me.
The charger shouldn't be making a huge difference, but the way I see it, if the charger is output more current to the battery in a faster period of time, it might be charging the battery "more" or over charging, or the samsung undercharging.
The battery life of a phone SHOULD be determined by the mAh rating of the battery. and if both chargers are charging the phone until "100%" then they should not be draining at different rates.
The best way to test this is to get a sustained load and put it on the batteries and see if they match up to the rated mAh ratings. I wish i was still in school so i had access to this stuff so i could test it.
who cares if more amps cause damage, the only damage it will cause is to the battery.
the average battery should last the same as the phone - say 3 - 4 years ??
so if using the HTC charger ruins the battery is 2 - 3 years, who gives a **** lol, aslong as my battery life increases, im happy to buy a replacement charger in 2 - 3 years, BUT by then i would have moved on to another device anyway.
I say if it works, USE IT !!! to hell with the consequences, live life to the max !!
Thanks for sharing this info. I will give it a try with my friend's HTC charger...
Just to add to this.
USB outputs 5v +- 10% & between 500-900mA so if you charge via USB this would have the same effect would it not?
thanks alferret for that info , i really wanted to know that, so now i guess there's no harm in using the htc charger,
i am using it now as my phone charger , and i am getting no problem so far
thanks
Guys if your charger breaks the problem might be the chargers plug or mini usb (iv bought a cheap charger and it was charging but i could not use the phone literally i thought iv burned the screen)iv opened up mine and one of the wires(mine was the black one)was detached try opening with something sharp its really easy to do
just try it those cables detach really easy
Or if your really lazy buy one if you wanna
Funnily enough, yesterday at work I used a Sony Ericsson charger, just top up my phone a bit. Went from 80 to 100 percent in virtually no time.
Strange. I will check my chargers at home
Mine too , after one month and i`m using an LG charger

On Motorola and HTC phones (maybe others as well), chargers are a Micro USB cable with a USB adapter. I wish Samsung would do the same. Much more eco-friendly.
Thanks for the info. I will give it a try with my wife HTC charger.
My phone always discharges at 2-3 pm , and i have an extra charger from my motorola milestone, i was thinking of leaving the htc charger here at home and carry the motorola charger with me, but the inspire manual clearly says i should charge it ONLY using the htc charger, what do you guys think? its just nonsense talk? i must say that my milestone screen sometimes acted CRAZY, like it was possesed and random things clicked by themselves , i was told it was because i was using a blackberry charger that had different voltage

If you have the ability to do so, just use USB charging from the computer. No drivers needed and no worrying about potential power issues unless it happens to be a bad port.

You can use the other charger. Lithium-Ion batteries have fail-safe circuitry in them. If the charger is producing current outside of the pre-programed range for that battery, it simply will not charge.
Your phone is discharging at 2 am? Sounds like a wet dream to me...
Tribal is right though.

I've used universal usb car chargers (many I received for free or bought very cheap) with anything that uses usb port to charge the battery. From IPod to most of the Cingular, Sprint and AT&T phones and never had a problem. I always figured that the usb port voltage had to be regulated from the device end considering that all the different devices that plugs into them.
i charge overnight with teh charger from my htc tilt2, but i always carry the inspire charger with me on the road because it charges FASTER than the other chargers i've used it with (PC included). but no, chances are that you wont damage your phone or anything by using another device's charger.
I think my AC charger is giving problems... Its charging fine but the pins of charger seems displaced internally coz i have to press it hard and rotate the pins to start charging... That's quite a pain charging every time and can't touch mobile during that time as it disconnects...
Can anyone give me a link to Original HTC charger for Sensation in 220v in U.S?
I Don't want to fall into fakes or Replicas that take twice the time to charge... So please a genuine charger link...
Expanys us, Tmobile, Amazon. But the charger is just a generic HTC wall plug and a USB cord . I bought the wall piece from Ebay and the USB piece too.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
you can use pretty much any wallplugs that support USB out. I've noticed that most of these chargers output at 5V and 1A so they shouldn't be a problem
I've bought a couple of cheap generic ones off Dealextreme for about $4 each so I could leave them at my girlfriend's and in my bag and they work well.
I got a genuine Samsung and it charges in just over 2 hrs from 0
becareful dazdeeuk, fast charge is usually bad for the health of the battery. Generally, I would recommend sticking with factory specs (usually 5v and 1A)
Most manufacturers have signed up to the universal charger agreement now so you can't go wrong with any decent brand micro-USB charger. I use a BlackBerry charger in my bedroom and car.
I tried one from Sony Ericsson... its 850mA and takes almost 4 hrs to charge my mobile.. and longer if I keep it busy...
Want a link to real genuine deal if anyone knows a link..
I'm just curious since Sensation charges alot faster (2h30 vs 3h30). The only difference is that Sensation charger is rated at 1A while S2 charger is 0,7A. Thx
if it fits it will work.
whether or not it will charge faster / slower i dont know.
Ive got loads of HTC / Samsung chargers / USB cables. I use them all, Which ever is closer to hand when my battery is dying,

They're all 5V, might be anywhere between 500mA (same as USB) and 1000mA.
I interchange my Nokia and HTC chargers all the time.
Some time back all (or most) of the phone manufacturers agreed on a phone charger standard (microUSB & 5V). So they should all be completely inter-changable. Used to piss me off my my kids phones Small Nokia, Big Nokia, microUSB, Sony, ..............
Have a look at: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mob...arger-standard-amended-to-include-tablet-pcs/
I bought one of these because of the convenience of the 2 usb charging ports
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Masterplug-SRGDU42PW-Charging-Protected-Extension/dp/B007TQNUH8
As soon as I plugged it into my Sensation the touch screen became unresponsive often registering touches from menus no where near my fingers.
Once I had swapped between the HTC charger and this it was clearly a problem on the 3rd party product (which I believed to be a good quality one).
Before I bought this I made sure of the 5v - 1A rating which is what the HTC adapter provides so I'm really puzzled why I don't get this problem when plugged into a pc, a cheap car charger (1A) or my HTC supplied adaptor (1A) and an Anker charger with usb port (600ma), yet this supposed USB port is sending my HTC touch screen haywire.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Needless to say I won't dare use this for the HTC and I'm loath to plug my other intended device (an Asus tablet) into it. I'm a little worried about damaging it but if it's a USB port it should be a simple standard ... shouldn't it?
Same... I have 3rd party charger too for my old Mobile..
Output of that China charger is written same as on HTC charger
When I try to charge my sensation with this charger , entire screen gets unresponsive
My old chaina mobile charge fine with that charger

That's interesting, thanks for the input. I wonder if this is something to do with over-voltage or poor regulation in general. The Masterplug is supposed to be a good make which is why I opted for this rather than the ebay offerings from China.
I have some weird experience before too with 3rd party charger, my xe auto redial the last contact i called out, it call and hangup by itself continuously until i remove the charger, i put back the charger and it did the same again... then charger in bin
Sounds like a grounding issue or voltage regulation perhaps.
It's not worth getting a cheapo charger.
I got an original HTC one with cable for £8.

Understood, however, the product isn't what I'd call a cheapo like the chinese ebay offerings. Masterplug I believe do a range of high quality surge protectors and sockets for all applications so I thought it would be a reasonably safe bet. I already have the HTC charger but this was a convenient way to do away with all that bulk and have a couple of convenient charging sockets.
I'd love to know though what is actually causing this kind of reaction on the phone .. curiosity now more than anything.
