Australian Power Plug

I'm buying one from Clove but it seems to come with a European Plug. I know the HTC power adapter is (in a sense) universal in that the wall part can be interchanged (like on the iPhone). Where can I buy an Australian Wall Plug? I don't think it'll need to be specifically for the Desire as all HTC phones appear to come with the same power plug...

The charger socket on the Desire is MicroUSB. I also live in Oz and will probably just get a mini-micro USB adapter so that I can use any of the 2000 mini USB adapters I have collected over the years
I have also ordered mine from Clove. PM me if you hear any updates.
Edit: only 26.5 hours to go now

I'm also in the same boat, having ordered from Clove.
Maybe something might appear here: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phonecat.aspx?i=196001&c=14
Keep us posted if you find anything, as will I.

Yea that seems like the best idea if the Australian Port won't be available. It would be nicest to be able to use the much better designed HTC plug though...

AC Adapter B250

Quick question.
After I got my HTC replaced due to pink screen, I got the new one and the AC adapter that came on the pack was no longer the TC P300 but a small TC B250. Does any one recognizes this and why the pack are being shipped with dif adapter?
I am waiting on HTC reply. Because there is nothing on the webpage or their support know nothing about existence of this adapter.

I think the new AC adapter TC B250 is now standard issue with UK Desires. I got one with my Desire from Handtec but they didn't supply any the actual UK plug (or any plug) with it!

Yep, apparently only to UK Ireland their shipping those adapters. I am trying to get a foretold explanation from HTC so I can update the post.
You mentioned you no plug at all... did they replace the adapter or how did you sort it?
When charging your phone have you notice any issues that of you charge overnight when you unplug it on the morning the battery has 5% off the 100% with np usage?

thanks for the reply. I am discussing this issue with handtec at the moment. at this stage I would say they are skeptical. I can't comment about the charging performance as I can't use it without a plug!

makes sense
Let's us know about how its going you case. I believe there is no much information about this new adapter. I am still trying to get a product reference or description off HTC but they don't seem to have it. On the accessories page on HTC website I can't find any mention to such model, either in european website neither in the US one..

Here is HTC reply:
" Hello, Thank you for your reply, The device itself is UK specific which is why it came with a UK charger. We cannot change it for an EU one, sorry but you can contact with your retailer. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required. Thank you for contacting HTC.

Hi Larbac, I thought I would give you an update. Handtec sent me a replacement charger but it is the old style one with the trapeziodal housing. So maybe in time I can find a 3 pin plug for the TC B250 on ebay but until then it will gather dust.

Interesting, as it looks like there are no information about this adapter and whenever you complain the ones they replace with are the old TC P300. That's weird this situation... somewhere, someone is packing this adapter into the phone boxing and this must be recognized somewhere... I just don't know how...
When I complained near my provider and they would like to give me an adapter they had in store. some they normally use for their own phones. So I kept mine.
thanks for update

Some news...
for the first time I see this adapter on the web. Some one is selling them on UK.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GENUINE-H...PDACharger&hash=item4150951f7e#ht_1501wt_1137
Apart from this my contact with HTC ended on a phone call where they offered me a new charger. I think they though the all purpose was to have and european plug.. While I wanted to know if I can get adapters... Now I have to carry 2 adapters arround..
But the charger they gave me is from previous, older HTC models with USB connection and a micro USB adapter...
I am just tired and I am not continue on the conversation about this issue...

Can you get USA and European two-pin plug tops for the B250 charger? I can't see them anywhere, so why make it 110/240V 50/60Hz if there's only the included UK 3-pin head? The extra cost of including the other two with the phone would be pennies.

As far as I am aware those plugs do not exist. At least I could not find them. And when I queried HTC about they simply post me an adapter from old HTC with an USB 2 MicroUSB adapter.

Did anyone find a place where they sell only the plug? If someone wants to trade a UK plug for a EU plug, hit me up.
It's really stupid to buy a new charger when we could simply change the plug..

You're right, it'd be silly for it not to include the charger. I think I just confused the "Data Cable is not included and sold separately." line.

Ordered one as well, thanks for the post.

UPDATE: Confirmed - seller responded to me that the auction includes cradle only, no charger. Still a good deal.
I hope I am wrong, but I am almost positive that it won't come with the charger. The statement "data cable not inlcuded" shows that the seller assumes that the dock connects through the data cable for charging (in fact, stock Epic charger uses a data cable as you know). Even without the charger, it is still a good price for a dock itself. Chargers are pretty cheap and really, any generic USB charger can be used with a micro-usb data cable.
Anyone asked the seller if it comes with the charger or not?

Thanks, I bought one of these too, understanding that it's only the base that is included.
I have a skillion USB chargers and micro usb cords, so I'm not worried about that.
Most importantly, I'm curious about the audio output with Froyo!

I'm subscribing to this thread hoping to hear from you guys when you receive the docks.

picked one up... definitely a refurb. scratches on the front bezel. Probably got the bottom of the barrel because the seller accepted my offer of $14...
not in a retail box just in a clear plastic bag.

I haven't been able to find one. I found the .apk for the Eclair version and installed it, but it doesn't recognize being in the dock. It does charge properly.
I would love to see a Froyo version appear soon.

I found "Alarm Clock Plus", free in the market, pretty nice little app, works great for what i need it to while its on the dock.
All i needed was clock & Weather, im good with this till we actually get a real froyo update and can get the samsung one from market.

Got mine yesterday, despite being in a sealed plastic bag, the dock has scratches all over, looks like it's been through a rock tumbler.
I plugged my phone into it, and it recognized the dock instantly, even without a charger plugged into it. I'm running Midnight ROM 2.1.1.

Sweet deal, Thanks for sharing the link!

Glad I boutht two
I got two of them.
Both showed up in new condition, not a mark to be found.
Here is what I have found using it so far:
Audio out doesn't work. They claim it will be fixed with the Froyo release. I am running DK28 and it still doesn't work.
You can power it with any usb and it won't do the debug connection thing that most chargers do when you plug them into the phone.
It automatically puts the phone in landscape view. I have the auto rotate thing turned off, but this over rides it.
It is easy to put into and take out of the dock. Seems to hit the right spot every time.
If you fiddle with the phone while it is in you may end up lowering the volume by way of the volume rocker the phone is sitting on.
To change volume, use FN and the right and left arrows. not that slick, but it works.
Great access to the keyboard while docked
If I missed anything, ask me.

External Battery charger for TG01??

As per the thread title, I am looking for a battery charger for the TG01. I need one that will simply charge the battery (will need also a spare battery) - and just swap out the batteries as I go. I can't work with an external charger that connects via micro-usb (as I'm having issues with the micro-usb port and can't charge the phone! Therefore need another means of charging ASAP - and will come back and look at how to tackle fixing the micro-usb port at a later stage).
Anyone know where I can get such a thing???
Struggling to do so - so far in my www search....

You mean like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...700?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a6e594a7c
"Universal mobile battery charger" is what I looked for.
You can get better one's with digital readouts, but that is EXACTLY what I bought a few days ago to try and save my TG01 from a bad wm6.5. Just waiting for it to turn up.

@Scougar: Yes - I managed to get one in the end - off ebay. Hopefully it will arrive before the week is out - as I'm currently phone less!

Not good! Mine arrived today btw... Annoyingly no instructions on what the LED colours mean on it, or which terminal is positive and which negative.
btw.. mine says 850ma on it, so not the full 1000ma, but I can live with that.

I bought this on eBay - can´t paste the link here - look for - 1500mah Micro USB Back up Battery Charger + Cable for Toshiba TG01 TG 01
I am very satisfied when need to power battery out not having power adaptor. However I have totally 3 batteries and purchased also the solar power adaptor with internal battery.

I had the same problem re. instructions - but have got the hang of it. However, it's not a sufficient solution for me. It seems to take an absolute age to power up a battery. I have a spare battery - and even this isn't going to be enough.
I guess it's because of the way I use the phone - with connection to usb keyboard - to write emails...even though I remove the cable the moment the email has been written, it absolutely drains battery resources - RAPID!
I will have to try and get the micro-usb port fixed somehow. I've contacted toshiba to see if - first of all there is any warranty cover on the phone (i bought it off ebay - so not sure if covered or not).
Even if not covered, I'm unsure where to send it - or who can really fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? I am based in Ireland. Do Toshiba have a list of approved service centres??

You will just need to get a higher 'ma' rated charger then (so battery will charge faster).
BTW.. sounds stupid.. but have you tried another micro usb cable (a proper charging cable, rather than just a regular data transfer micro usb one?)

MICRO-USB Repair.
I'm a bit concerned about this - as someone has suggested to me that this can't be repaired - that it's 'terminal'. Can this really be the case????
Seems an awful waste of a phone if that's true....

I'm not sure what "burn's out", so I wouldn't like to speculate, but the repair of the actual 'port' surely wouldn't be that hard even for an amateur solderer? Maybe it's something in a charging chip that's burnt out? Given that you can pick tg01's up for £50+ (I really am guessing here.. I've been drinking).. it probaly isn't worth the cost of a repair unless you do it yourself.

The ruddy thing cost me €200 back then....can't remember for sure when -I think 9 months ago. Just checked ebay and they range from €110-€180. Pretty poor form - if they can't do the job for a couple of years at the very least.
Not sure where I stand as regards warranty - still waiting to hear back from toshiba support.
I don't feel that buying another one is the way to go - if they are flawed in this way. Furthermore, it makes me wonder about investing in a good phone - if they all have a point of weakness in terms of the micro-usb slot. Had a quick look at the nokia lumia at one stage last week....but if I'm using that port heavily (which i am - constantly swapping out between cable (for keyboard) and usb power cable....will the same thing happen?

If you are worried about over working the port, then just get an extension cable or try using a powered USB hub so you won't be swapping it out so often.
The micro usb port design is probably 'weak' compared to the mini USB port design, but it's what we are pretty much every phone on the market is now using. You could also use a USB keyboard.
I would only have considered about £75 for my phone (MODS: I can't sell it , I've bricked it... or as I like to say "I'm between operating systems at the moment" ;-) ) Point is, you can probably get one cheaper than you are seeing on ebay.
I think you are either better off with another phone, or getting a bigger battery, they question is whether you want to invest in the TG01 anymore, or get something else.

How can I use the powered usb hub exactly? I can plug the usb keyboard into it -then run a usb cable between the hub and the usb to micro-usb adaptor that then connects to the phone...is that correct?

This is what is also dampening down my enthusiasm for investing in another phone. It's a situational thing - and I don't really have any other option but to use a usb keyboard (I can't connect via bluetooth).

As regards moving on to a new unit, I don't really want to go down this road for two reasons;
1. I don't think I have got my money's worth out of the spend on the TG01 - and while the work arounds are far from ideal - I am otherwise happy with the phone in principal
2. I fear making another big investment - only for the same thing to happen again (given that I will continue to use micro-usb port heavily
A bigger battery - I don't think is a possibility?? I know there was one oversized battery on the market for that phone - but it came with a new back cover for the phone also - as it was thicker than normal. It was expensive - and it's not really the route I wish to take. What I might do - is buy another battery. Then - with 3 batteries on the go - just keep charging them up on rotation at home.
Mickey mouse approach - but I don't see any other feasible way of handling it.
IF I did get another phone, I don't think it would be the TG01. It served its purpose at the time (and It will continue to do so - although more awkward now). However, I don't think this sort of failure should happen - and support should be better. Very hard to get a hold of someone in support - NO support in ROI - and necessary to mail the phone in to their UK service centre. In addition, just discovered that it's out of warranty.

There are some internal pictures of the TG01 floating around, it might be worthwhile trying to dig those up, and see if you can get a look at the USB connection points, and see if an amateur repair is possible.
EDIT: If you go to the following thread you will find internal pictures It looks to me like the port could be repaired if you have a fine enough soldering iron, or taped it up well enough. (As long as the problem isn't a 'trace' being burnt out... and we assume that the port itself has broken/come loose or needs replacement).

Can someone recommend a good quality external charger
Only a couple of weeks - and the external charger I got off ebay seems to be flaking!
Can anyone recommend a GOOD QUALITY external charger that I could order up - that will work well with TG01 batteries??

Have to say... that one I bought isn't the best quality. connection is 'iffy' now it seems.
Product review: 4/10. d'oh.

I;ve been trawling the net - but they all seem the ruddy same! What would you buy if you had to go again?
Right now - at this moment - the charger is working again - but I spent half the day trying to get it to work up until now! I don't have great faith in it - and if it goes, I'm sans phone once again.
If I could get a reliable charger, I would be fairly happy. I've got into the routine of charging alternate batteries - so that system works (so I can squeeze the outlay on the phone back out of it - before I go and upgrade at a later stage).

The only other type of external charger I could find was this.
So....i've ordered one up....will post back whether it actually does the job or is another piece of sh1t!

Xoom2/Xyboard USB/HDMI card needed

I am looking for the card that has the micro usb and hdmi ports for a Xyboard 10.1. I would assume that the Xoom 2 would have this similar setup but I am not sure. If someone has one of these tablets available for parts, let me know. I have searched for hours trying to find somewhere to buy this with no luck. I also tried my hand at soldering and that did not go so well. Please let me know if anyone knows a way. Thanks!:cyclops:

Xyboard Uses
I'm a little off topic here as my Xyboard (knock on wood) works great. BUT, what are you all using your Xyboards for? As in, I'm at a point where I can't find more uses for it other than a Music Player in my office and a sketchy universal remote in my living room. If mine crapped out, I don't think I'd be motivated to fix it. I want this thing to excel (I really do!), but because there's been nearly-zero development on it, I don't find myself reaching for it very often. (I've got the $35 Second Shells case for it as well as the Moto Bluetooth Keyboard; I've babied this thing).
I've even thought about mounting it in my car just so it becomes relevant again. Am I missing ways where it can be useful?
Sidenote: my Samsung Chromebook fills 90% of my work/media consumption needs and my Razr M fills out the other 10%.
Also: if it does crap out, I'll totally give you my USB/HDMI port card. I'd love for it to go to a good home.

Hello Friend..
You do own a very capable tablet, what OS are you running, Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich.? I did enjoy GB, but ICS is more advanced, alot more overall performance and options..And especially with the "promised" Jelly Bean upgrade..WooHoo..this tablet will be even more capable and useful..
With ICS and the right Apps. These XYB's will surprise you..Since my last post here..I have purchased a couple junked XYBoards "buy as is" from Ebay..took the two and made ONE that function flawlessly..one had a bad motherboard, the other a bad battery and charge port..
And this is the one I'm using now..SO..I own one of each MZ617 models..a 16, 32 and 64 GB..I love to tinker with these things..THANKS to Root capabilities, SafeStrap and a few more Mods..anyway.
With the correct Apps..these XYB's are a very helpful tool..I will mention only a few functions very useful..
Printing wirelessly world wide, file transfer via Bluetooth and more, office document creation, MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint (namely a few)..Measuring distances (feet/inch/metric)..GPS travel ..Cook books, Free Hand note taking, high quality camera and video camera, MP3, MPG, Divix, AVI player, bar code scanner, auto VIN number scanner, auto diagnostic functions, voice recorder, Police, Fire scanner, Social networking, Live video chats with family and friends, Electronic book reader, Graphics editor, video rendering, cloud storage, USB compatible, buy_sale on EBay, Email, alarm clock, stop watch..the list is longer, but I will stop there..is there ANY laptop that can do all this without armfulls of attachments..I cannot imagine without a tablet..and all the above mentioned, a woman can hold in her hand.!!
OH..first and foremost..I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses..I study the Bible, have the monthly magazines such as the Watchtower and AWAKE!, and our weekly study material, Daily Text, and much more of JW's reading material..I have the complete Bible also in MP3 format, and much more on a single (one) 32 GB Motorola XYBoard 10.1 tablet..I use the tablet in the ministry, going door to door, during our two weekly meetings also..
Now my laptops set most of the time, they are jealous of my XYBoards..now they are only used to Root another XYB or to copy and store my many SafeStrap backups and other files..lol
I certainly hope all my babbling helps you to see, just how Awesome these XYB's really are..
I hope you will find comfort and usefulness with yours..take care..

I found one. It's for the xoom2 but the number on the board is the same 1016326001. Looks identical too. They had 10 in stock. If you wanna wait i'll let you know if it works, just ordered 1. http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-VERIZON...048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e80ba8bf0
Auction says used but description says This is for the 10.1in Motorola Xoom 2 MZ617. This is a new, unused part directly from the manufacturer.
With having 10 available i'd assume they are new. I sent him a message asking. regardless i ordered one.

Thank you for posting the link, the auction definitely states, "New"..WooHoo..there is hope..I will watch the sale, I hope you receive a new one for your device, Don't know how the EBayer got ahold of 10 of these, but that's great, They are in Calif..seems as thow Texas and California gets most of the good Motorola stuff..lol..
Anyway..I hope the EBayer can get 100 more..I personally just purchased the new Droid Maxx last week, and plan to purchase another in a couple days..So my budget is stressed at the moment..if the EBayer doesn't sale out in a couple weeks, I hope to purchase at least two charge ports..They also have a motherboard for MZ617..I have a 16gb model with a bad MB setting here, I'd like to repair..

i emailed him about xyboard and the used, he said he would add it to the description (he did, now has xyboard). he didnt mention the new/used but i see its changed to new so i'm sure the one i ordered is new. I also won an auction for an 8" xyboard for $37 a few hours ago, i was hoping it had the same usb board, they looked the same on the outside and they fit the same dock.

WooHoo..thank you for contacting the EBayer about the port, also, glad you won the 8" auction and I hope its the same port as the 10"..

faulty charge port workaround & power button request
Yeah, I just bought one of these too although I had got around my faulty port by wiring straight into the battery.
It works really well - it even charges off my regular phone charger now. or the usb port on my PC.
The software doesn't recognise that it's charging but after about 4-5 hours it's fully charged again!
I just hacked off an old usb cable and wired a plug on the end to match the new one I connected to the battery.
I passed the lead out through the hole in the case for sd card/sim socket (mine doesn't have an sd card port)
Make sure you pass it through the hole in the case before you wire up to the battery otherwise the case won't snap together,
and don't try wiring the plug on after connecting it to the battery as you're likely to short the battery.
You have to join the data wires on the usb lead together and this signals to the computer to deliver full current to the port.
What I'm after now is a ribbon with the power/volume buttons on it as while I was doing the charge repair
my son got hold of it and picked off the naked button with his finger nail. (See pics below)
Does anyone have this spare part? It's for a xoom2 mz616 or 617 10" screen. Don't know if any other models will fit
but I can't turn it on now
Please help!
Sorry I tried to insert the pics but xda wouldn't allow it. PM me if you want to see.

no no

never wire a battery direst to the usb charge port!! that is just nuts
Ebay has the new board for like 15$ or if you can solder the port for under 5$

Yeah, I thought about soldering it - but have you seen how SMALL the parts are???
I even bought a new micro usb port for £2, but it's way too small.
There's no way I can solder parts that tiny.
I don't see what the bid deal is connecting the battery direct to the usb - as long as you don't leave it in too long?
it will level out at 5v and stop charging when it has equalised.
And I never left it in so long it got hot or anything - you have to monitor that.
You may be right, I don't know. I didn't try it long enough to test thoroughly as I got a new usb/charge port off ebay.
It wasn't $15 though - I paid $40 for a new one.

The boards all sold out and i sold out of the 100 i bought in a week. The battery may charge volts is 4.2 so 5 volts will cook one
