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

[Q] Battery travel case

A friend has a blackberry, and he carries a few (i know) backup batteries. Getting past that absurdity...he has these small cases that the batteries drop into. They have a plastic door like lid, and have a micro usb port on them to charge the battery without it being in the device. Does anyone know if this exists for nexus one batteries? I've searched google images for a few minutes to try and find and example, but with no success. (I'll keep looking, and will post if I find one.)
I have my doubts, but this would be awesome to have.
Thanks All.

Id love to know and have also seen the blackberry ones, are the batteries the same size i wonder? I also saw a really cool flip on the go charger by dexo or something dca152 but i dont know if the nexus would fit?

I just took a look on their site. They do iPhone and blackberry. Seems the blackberry one charges though contacts on the back of the device. These would have been cool, but no such luck.

not exactly what you're asking about but...
the last two chargers i bought off ebay charge a 2400Mah nexus battery in 3-4 hours from 1% (dead) to fully charged, and have a usb port on the bottom also. So, if you carry a micro usb cable, you can charge two batteries at once (one in phone, one in charger) and then a third on another charger. at least you'll have three 2400 mah batteries charged in a few hours, and it's very difficult to burn through that much juice in a day.
even shooting HD video, you'll be swapping micro sd cards before batteries if you get a 2400 or larger battery.
the replacement batteries of stock size charge on my ebay chargers in about 45 minutes or less. just a reference.

Do you have a link to show which charger on eBay?

I've been thinking about something like this, so I can charge on the go without having to power off and replace the battery. The best I could come up with was v3 of the minty boost -> http://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/

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.

[Q] No Usb cables give enough power to charge the sensation! :@

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!

Choetech quick charger 3.0

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?
Sent from my HTC One A9 using Tapatalk

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
