did you look on ebay? This don't need to be specific from HTC. Look maybe for UK to EU adapter or something like that...

It has to be the same design, because the HTC`s chargin unit is designed in such a way that it enables switching the adapter that goes into the socket.

So something like that will not work:
If not then is cheaper buy EU charger because this combined is way to expensive...

no, I have that. That`s not a problem. I`m just looking to get the original HTC part for that charger. What you can do is take out the UK plug and put in the EU one. Its interchangable.
Anyway, they only have this at the moment, might wait.
edit: found it, but its expensive
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plug-P300-I...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1270812930&sr=8-10

You can still just plug the 3 prong UK plug into a EU adapter but then again it kind of defeats the point behind the plugs design. Why make it like that if they aren't going to offer the plugs individually? Some people may never need the American or Australian plugs.

I know that I will use this adapter with UK charger, because I charge my phone all time in same place(overnight near bed)... So I have my charger for TyTnII untouched cca. 2 years connected to same plug and this adapter will not be problem. But if you travel a lot I think you can easy lose or forget somewhere this adapter(can stay in wall "plug" and you forget take it out)...

It's probably easier to find a complete new set of charger, plug and cable. Found one on ebay that sells for 9€ (shipping included, at least in germany ) - so thats just a bit more expensive than a simple power adapter that would look not that good / bloat up the whole charger.
Added Bonus: In the rare case your charger unit blows up, you got a spare one

I received and invoice from expansys (who run the http://www.htcaccessorystore.com) just for that part. They want 7.77 for it.

Got the adapter today. Fits perfectly, great to have an interchangable part. Is was 7.77 with delivery.

Nice find
@JaykaySLO
Thanx mate for the tip
Been searching for a while for that adapter!

Car Mount - Brodit (coming soon)

As a long term fan of Brodit holders, I'm pleased to see the i9000 active holder now listed as coming soon.

i have a brodit iphone 3g holder (non active but you can adjust the sides) and i reckon if i used a silicone case i would fit nicely inside it.
might go for this holder anyway, could do with the power
any ideas on RRP?

How much is it expected to cost and why is the pic upside down?

Pic is straight. USB connection for charging is at the top of the phone..

for HTC Touch HD was really good.
Probably I`ll buy for SGS as well

Hope the charger is 1mA

even at 1mA it's not powerful enough to charge the battery when using the GPS
i'm looking for a 2mA car charger

The estimate prices you can check from DSL Developments

Prices may vary when the products are wider in the shops.

Now I do like Brodit, but I may have to get my hacksaw out according to these pics.
Unless Im reading it wrong, there's a big flap of plastic obscuring the camera lens.
I like to record my car journeys you see - for the times I get into an accident with a less than honest person who invents witnesses.

that's a great idea!
i've always used a separate camera for that purpose, because i bike and drive, it's extremely important when you are on a bicycle as most car vs. bicycle goes either unreported, or car always win the debate even though it's the car's driver fault.

Off topic (but discussed in topic) I've just purchased this 2A charger http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2A-car-charge...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item45f367d712 cheap and cheerful no holder but provide the correct power for maximum use of the device

Isn't a 2 amp charger way overkill? I have a 0.7 amp samsung charger and that charges my phone just fine while running mobile maps.

i ordered a 2 Amp charger from another source, i already have a generic phone holder that works for all phones and PDA
no, anything less than 1 Amp will not charge your phone, if you keep the screen ON, and using GPS + using Bluetooth
1 Amp will keep your battery from falling down drastically, but it is still not enough to charge the battery meanwhile all the features are ON
2 Amp is only enough to keep all those features running, and charger the battery.
that comes from experience using the HTC Athena, which is just as much of a power hog as the SGS i9000

It's also available on DSL, for £37.97 delivered. Have ordered mine

my universal 2A phone charger + universal car holder combined cost less than $20 delivered all from DealExtreme that's less than 14 euros, and they are good quality too, the same stuff you'll find at any of the better known e-stores.

Brilliant. I came looking for info on this, as my current charger in the car acts like a USB connection... Thanks.
I have the £20 Brodit holder, maybe I should have got the active one though, keeps the cable a bit more out the way.

External battery charger

Can anyone recommend a decent external charger for the Desire HD battery? Thinking of getting a spare battery but want a way of charging outside the phone.
Cheers.

yeah im also looking for a good external charger.. anyone have suggestions?

Have a look at this desktop cradle. I like its design:

that's for the Desire isn't it?

I guess it's better waiting until China DHD launches for good accessories

Yeah, you can usually find these things on eBay for pennies. Maybe in a week or two...

I have one of these that I occasionally use for my G1. It isnt amazing and charges very slowly, but with a high quality battery it should help a little on the go!

Do not you think a direct charger like Energizer XP8000 instead of externa battery charger?

Heres a review:

Did someone have ever used a charger like this?
http://www.a-solar.eu/EN/micro_charger_am500.htm
It's a solar portable charger with a battery of 1900mAh.
I'd like to buy it but I don't know where... do you know a online shop that sell it and send it in italy?
thanks

something like this?

Ok I'm in as well

i found this one
ebay Item number: 120640014972 (new users aka me cannot post external links )
which is a battery powered portable charger rated at 5000maH and charges the battery in the phone.
that battery cover worries me so i dont want to have to open it too often. also it means you dont have to wait for the device to reboot. not sure how accurate that 5000mah is, but i should be able to fit that and my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours to charge.
not ideal, but i dont trust non-brand batteries, especially if im importing them from china since i have no legal comeback if it explodes in my phone because they are not a UK company.

This is the link -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....e-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2465wt_1139
It does look really good actually. I like that you can charge two devices at one too. Anyone have any experience of these? I think I'll order one...

Mobilefun do one for around £20 that docks the phone and has a slot for a spare battery to charge aswell. Not in stock last I looked, but ill be buying one of those.

My thoughts on the Orzly Type-C Cables

With there now being a clear distinguished line between what cables are certified and what aren't by Benson Leung, shopping for additional Type-C Cables is a little easier. So as I was after a new set of cables for my Nexus 6P, I was mainly looking for a pack that offered the best value for money.
I came across this Orzly quad pack on Amazon.co.uk for only £17.99 with free delivery so works out to about £4.50 per cable which is a bargain. I probably don't need all 4 cables, but it's nice to have spares if I ever lose or want to keep one at work.
I've tested these myself using the CheckR and Current Monitor app and all the cables pass with flying colours. I may just be repeating what many of you might know already but I thought it would be good to share my opinions and experiences with these cables on here.
Overall the build quality of the cables is really nice, robust and don't look like either ends will start to fall apart after some use. Would highly recommend these to anyone looking for additional Type-C Cables.

Peace!

I also got these at black friday for 9.99GBP including int. shipping to Israel, it was a great dead and these cables for great and are well built.
I also got a free case with it so it became an even better deal.
I strongly recommend these cables

You're lucky! I missed that deal but still thought these cables are great value for money and work great!

I bought this exact 4-pack from Orzly for $15, received them just about a month ago, and now they are all broken. The USB-C connector first would bend, then would break off completely. I've emailed them and am waiting to hear back. Curious how they hold up for others who got these.

are you serious? mine is still working fine after 1 month, nothing broken

Yup Very frustrating, because after the first two broke I figured I must have been doing something to stress the connecter (even though I've never had this issue with any other cable on any other device over any length of time). So, I consciously babied the remaining two and they still broke the same way. It was definitely not user error . . . these things were defective, is all I can think. Maybe the ones I got were from a bad production run or something . . .? I don't know, but as mentioned I emailed them via Amazon to see what was up. Ideally they would send me a new 4-pack that weren't defective, but who knows. I'll update if I hear back.

Magnetic Dock [Update]

UPDATE 2: Didn't get too much interest, but decided to go ahead and have them made anyway. There is a very limited quantity available for now, but available on Amazon for whoever wants one. Will more more if there is interest:

/Update

Hey everyone. I been seeing a bunch magnet based type c connectors popping up where you plug a small connector to your phone to which a cable magnetically attaches to for easy attaching and detaching.
Kind of like this one
Has anyone come across a similar thing but a dock instead of a cable? Basically having the same plug on the phone but being able to just put it on a dock that has the other magnetic end. The problem with phone docks is it's hard to plug the phone in and out of them. This might be a good solution.
If there isn't anything already available, I'm thinking I might make one. For those of you that have/had the Nexis 10, I'm the guy that made the extremely popular (by my standards) docks for that tablet. If there is enough interest, I can tap into everything I've learned from that project and make something like this.
What do you guys think?

That's pretty cool, and something I've been looking at doing, did you 3D print it? If so, care to share the file? if not, how did you make it?

Didn't get too much interest, but decided to go ahead and have them made anyway. There is a very limited quantity available for now, but available on Amazon for whoever wants one. Will more more if there is interest:

Really nice!
Don't have the 30 to spend right now, but if still available when the time comes, I'll definitely buy one. :good:

Will you still be able to plug a "normal" USB C cable into the phone or you have to remove the adapter that makes it magnetic?

I like it!
Typo advice for your Amazon product listing: You wrote "Mirco-USB" in the product listing! Also, it was confusing to me that you list 3 connectors in 1 item, because I am used to eBay listings where I have to specify what type... Also I think you should specify "Apple Lightning Connector" because as a non-Apple user, I initially thought that you were advertising that the dock included "Lighting".
If it was $30 like the guy above me said, I wouldn't be getting one, but since Amazon is showing me $10 or $12 with cable, I'm violating my own boycott of Amazon in protest of the unfair working conditions & low wages subsidized by US food stamps for its employees in face of the $25 million per hour that Jeff Besos pays himself (considering that he crossed the $100 Billionaire line in 2017, and now has $150,000,000,000 in wealth in 2018, and a typical US work-year is 2000 hours).

I found the magnetic cables wearing out quickly. The ones that didn't, only charge at a slow speed...
