Can anybody confirm if its safe to charge my phones battery using a non HTC micro USB charger.
I was think of my kindle 3 and LG micro USB chargers?
I know this is a bit of a stupid question but the mAh and voltages are slightly different than the AC HTC mains charger.
Thanks
Nik

I have done that ever since I left my HTC charger in Indiana different voltages then what the HTC charger was like you mentioned, but its lower not higher so I don't think that should ever b a problem.. as for a higher voltage, I'm not sure.
Hope I helped! have a good one.

I thought the lower voltage would be OK to use, but it will take longer to charge.
Thanks your reply, can anybody else offer any advice

Did some research.
You can use ANY voltage charger it will only put out as much as your battery can take, so your safe pal!

No no no no no!
Any current, NOT any voltage!
The output voltage must be 5v
The output current can be anything, but below 500mA it's best to charge the phone without using it, or with it turned off due to the current draw by the phone in use.
All USB charging sources will be 5V. The current will vary from 500ma to 2000ma. It's all good my friend.

Mini is thicker, more block-ish on the top. Micro is thinner, more rounded on the top.

Whichever you get make sure it is capable of putting out full charge. A lot will only put out around 500mA and so will charge as if it was plugged into a pc and if you are using sat nav it will drain even though its on charge.
I've just purchased this baby: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0044BBEBA/ref=oss_product
and it's currently on its way to me. I can update you once I have received it and let you know how it is!
I'm anticipating the release of a TomTom app for the Android platform so that I can give my TomTom One IQ Routes to my parents.
Tnx for replay guys, much appreciate!

Bought this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200555043670&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Works great and very fast shipping!
I've never seen that other HTC charger that's linked above, but I got the HTC CC C200 that they sell. From what I've seen, all HTC chargers have the cable detached.

Is it recommended to get the Anker battery because I believe this stock battery (well at least mines) can't cut it?
yes go fer it you will love it

You answered your own question.
Got mine got Amazon and was definitely worth it. I got about 27 hours from my last charge with moderate use. Can't beat the price.
I just ordered it a couple of hours ago & I read nothing but positive reviews about the battery.
Simple answer .. Yes .. Heck yes .. Um yes ..
I have it and i love it, Best battery ive tried!
Is it bigger size?? (Phisically)

Can you use the regular phone charger to charge the Anker battery once inside the Sensation?

Of course you can.
I have the Anker and wouldn't look back - it's excellent. Worth every penny.

Apparently they are a higher voltage but they charge the phone faster and are safe to use. Also you can get them for cheapo online

I doubt anything with higher voltage is
safe to use. Higher amperage is what enables fast charging. Regular USB is 500ma, the stock HTC chargers are 1000ma (1amp) that have faster charging.

Sorry, it could be higher amperage, i dont know exactly and I'm hardly an expert on electricity

+1 for the blackberry charger. The cord is way longer too so you can prance around while its plugged in.

I use the stock HTC charger when I'm traveling. I replaced my wall sockets at home with ones that have USB ports in them. They work perfectly fine. I believe the ones I have are about 1 amp.

I was just thinking the other day it would be cool if they made those. Got something on my to do list now!
i would be wary of HTC ebay wall chargers, there's probably tons of fakes out there. I somehow managed to buy a pair of fake HTC "oem" headphones the other day that lasted about two days before one ear broke (not to mention the phone controls were WACK).
I'd suggest going to amazon and getting an amazonbasics cable. They're really cheap, they make long ones, and I've had great experiences with them. As for wall chargers, I've had good luck with my one x using BlackBerry, HTC, amazon (for Kindle fire) and nook chargers. Just find one with nice amperage.

Checkout monoprice.com . We get all our cables and chargers there
+1 for bb chargers they don't cause any wake locks like cheap chargers do and a long usb
I use stock HTC
Definitely do not use the one that comes with the HP Touchpad. short circuited my phone :/
To charge our phone faster then 1amp? If so will it hurt our battery alot? Also is the restrictions software based or a hardware limit? I'm not really concerned about longevity as I'll be upgrading soon.

Its safe. Just because the charger outputs 2amps does not mean the phone will draw 2amps. It should draw more than the 1amp charger though. The phone ultimately controls the drawing of power

What about fast or rapid charge? I noticed that the feature is built into elemental but I didn't see if the draw was limited

Hello i wonder if is possible somehow when im charging my tab with usb to scam my tab to think that is charged with ac charger.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda app-developers app
Yes it's possible. This is called Fast Charge. Just find a kernel for your tab that supports fast charge and flash the kernel kn your device to charge fast from USB.
Please press the thanks button if i helped!
