[Q] Fake Chinese HTC Charger?

Hi,
I wanted to share a photo of probably fake HTC charger:

Could anyone show me how original looks like ? Because this one above makes really nasty touch screen interference on my i9000

I too have got this charger, I got it from amazon and this is I think the 4th item I have got from them that I suspect to be counterfeit. Mine gets really hot and smells like the components are burning inside. I do have a original charger the same style but I'm reluctant to take it apart, I can confirm that it is very different looking, also the plug section should twist to come of and be replaced by euro or US adapers I suspect. I also get unresponsive touch screen while charging too.

Sorry for posting in such an old thread. I have a very similar fake charger. Mine was marked "For Samsung", despite being an imitation of an HTC charger. I'm also having problems with it (calls end unexpectedly while charging and music stops playing after a few seconds).
Can you show the rear of your charger's PCB, please?
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 6p Docking Station

I'm posting this thread to get some advice or direction as to which Docking stations would be fully compatible with the nexus 6p. I know when buying cables we have to be careful cause a lot of the cheaper ones tend to ruin our devices. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!!

I'm very curious about this too

Beson Leung (a Google engineer that's checking/reviewing Type C accessories) has an Amazon list of everything that he approves of: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/KF89JCHI0KT4/
There's only one dock on the list so far: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017K46T1M/
He also reviewed another dock but it didn't make the cut.

I bought this dock : Sarvi Dock
This particular dock allows you to use the charger that came with the 6p. I love it. No issues whatsoever.

There is an extensive thread about this already, including the dock shown above (I ordered 2, got one, it was missing parts/instructions and was obviously used, and it took a month to get a refund).
Should check out the other threads on this.

Brodit (ProclipUSA) hard mounted car cradle for the LG V10 using a Kuda Mount

In another thread someone asked me to take a picture of my setup so here it is, its a Brodit phone cradle that is custom made for specifically the LG V10 and is mounted to the car using a Kuda leather mount that matches my E550's interior.
Up until recently I have always used CarComm cradles because they use a modular design where you don't need to rewire the car every time you get a new phone but since they didn't make one yet for the V10 I switched to Brodit mount and is hard wired to constant power. The converted box is a 2A charger and is SUPER fast at charging the phone. On my 30 minute commute I get a good 35-40% charge with the GPS running..

In my previous E-Class (years ago) I used the CarComm cradle and as you can see with this one you only replace the phone holder part and dont have to re-wire the whole thing when you get a new phone:

Compact USB-C to MicroUSB adapter. Solving the compatibility problem.

I have several popular amazon brand adapters but the problem is they're too thick. I carry one in my wallet but some how I lost it after just a few days. I've been on a mission to find the adapter that I can easily carry in my wallet but not easily disappear. I don't want to keep paying for something that I only use once in a while. Most adapters on Amazon go for $3-$5, not cheap for a tiny adapter. We know those have the pull up resistor and are safe to use.
Someone left a good review for this ebay adapter from seller goodtops165 (IDK about the similar adapter from other sellers, they all look the same) so I give it a shot. It costs $1.38, 2 weeks to ship.
The adapter passes CheckR test and it behaves like other USB-C to MicroUSB adapters that I have. It comes with a sleeve and it's is slimmer than others. :good:

Very much reminds me of the OnePlus adapter with the red case and all.
Does this one allow OTG adapters to work?

I got one!

For a couple of bucks worth it to keep 1 or 2 of these on hand.

8T Charging Problems

Ever since a couple of months ago I had problems with charging the phone.
The provided 65w warp charger doesn't charge the phone at all, when I try to charge it with my old OnePlus 6 charger
it is charging but in a normal speed (not even fast charging).
I've tried cleaning the ports (phone, cable and charger), I've tried pluging and unpluging the cable multiple times,
I've tried hooking the cable up to a battery bank but still nothing.
I have an old 5T and when I plug it to the 65w brick it is charging but in normal speed (no fast charging).
Every other thing I plug in to it is charging (headphones, Ipad, Tablet and even a laptop).
Am I going crazy?
I need help please!

One plus 5T charger only supports 20W charging，If your charger breaks down, you can buy an official GaN charger，In the Xinyu of second-hand trading, you can buy a brand-new official charger , about 80 -90 yuan。
