Dear all,
I'm wondering if I can use Nokia charger for my Sony Arc S or not as I see its port is the same. I'm asking this because Sony charger cable is too short that sometimes it's hard for me to move the phone. Will it make my battery damage if I keep using it for long time?
Thank for reading my post.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you'll still want to compare the output of the chargers. If the Nokia can't put out what the Sony charger can then it will take longer to charge, or possibly charge it faster, but it will die faster. If it puts out more, it should be ok, but still compare the outputs in mAH to each other.
For example, with older phones, you couldnt charge a motorola razr with a blackberry curve charger because it put out too much power, but you could charge a blackberry curve with a razr charger, and it would charge fast, but also die fast. The old htc phones like 8125, 8525, if completely discharged sometimes would only come back on with an original htc charger, nothing else.
I prefer an OEM charger, but will charge with whatever if that's all that's around.
I have an HTC charger and it works fine,also my wife has a pony Ericson x10 mini which also charges my galaxy s2. You max find it a little slower but test it out. I sometimes found tho using the HTC one overnight for example on occasion would make my phone warm. Try it out tho it shouldn't be an issue.

also, if both chargers break down to usb cords, just use the nokia usb cord with the sony plugin part... its that part that produces the charging power...
By what you all said I have checked the stat of both charger as below:
Nokia: OUTPUT: DC 5V, 550mA
Sony: Output: 5.0V, = (a sign) 850mA
So according to this, if I use Nokia it will take longer than using Sony itself right ?

That's a significantly weaker charger... Yea, itll most likely take longer to charge the phone, but certainly not damage it in any way...
Thanks for all the helpful posts. I have idea about it now

So I was wondering if I could find the original G2 wall charger, the one that came in the box. I bought my phone from craigslist and that guy didnt have the charger for some reason. I've been using some motorola one and very happy with it cause it didnt have rapid charging and battery life was great too (not sure if the charger plays a role). But couple weeks ago the wire got loose and wouldnt connect properly, so I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...331986&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1184wt_950
Ever since I've been using that my phone goes to 100% from 10% in two hours, and battery life has been bad too since using that. I have used the phone the same was as before, I even calibrated it again, tried it with setcpu and no setcpu, used edge only also, tried different roms, used just wifi only etc, and battery life still not same as before. I mean it has to be the charger right? Otherwise it wouldnt have made a difference in using a different one. So I'm trying to find opinions from you guys to see if I can find the original one ( I have no idea what it looks like) or a similar one from ebay/amazon. Thanks for reading!
What is the rated Output on the charger that you have? The stock one is supposed to put out 1 Amp (1000 ma). It isn't uncommon for it to go from 10 to 'full' in 2 hours, but just because the phone shows it full, doesn't mean its there. Are you charging overnight or just for that 2 hour period?
Yes I am charging overnight. Output says 5V, 1A, so I'm guessing thats 1000ma/1Amp?
The G2's cord is rounder at the USB end and the Plug- in end, but I would think it would not make a giant difference since I use a Motorola one since I don't know where my original one went.
OEM HTC charger
I'm not sure if your still looking, but i bought a Brand New OEM HTC charger from eBay. It was the same thing that came with G2. I'm pretty sure by the time you see this it will be sold but they list them everyday so just look at the sellers other items.
Since I'm a new user i cant post links, but the item number is 160619103766

That is the maximum current supported by the charger, but the device may request a lower current. Use something like Battery Monitor Widget or Current Widget to see how much current is actually being drawn over the USB port. The most accurate reading will be taken when the screen is off, the CPU is idle and underclocked, all radios are off, etc.
I had a cheap no-name AC adapter for my DZ, but it caused the touchscreen to go bonkers. I ended up buying one of these adapters:
http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?item_id=039726
Inexpensive, and having two USB ports is very convenient. One goes to my Mugen DZ charging cradle (phone + spare battery), the other to my BT headset. Any standard USB cable will work. It does not cause problems with the touchscreen, so I can continue to use the phone even while it is charging.
The best I've seen on a DZ is about 650 mA net charge, which means an empty 1800 mAh battery should be fully charged in about 3 hours.
I've seen logs of my dz charging at 680-780mA, so long as you have a 1A output charger it should charge the same. The output is the max rated output, not what its feeding to the phone to charge.
On that note most moto chargers I've seen are 700mA max out and same with a lot of samsung chargers I've owned. I use my original that came with my g2 as well as an old htc diamond wall charger with a sony usb cable lol, I get the same charge from both.

Sony phones charge so fast it's quite frustrating how long the nexus S takes. Would you suppose it would be safe to try to charge nexus S with the charger of xperia arc S? After all the micro usb standard should be safe to work on all phones right?

Although the plug is identical, it doesn't mean they're all the same in their specs. Samsung official charger for the Nexus S gives 750ma at 5V. Anything else and you're taking a chance.
just make sure the out put is roughly close, if not exactly the same, it shouldn't be a huge problem if you wanna quickly top up before you leave. i do, however, suggest you use the samsung one for over night charging.

The mini usb is standardized, I use a blackberry charger for my NS4G, as with anything no guaranties in life but you should be safe
hi,you know plug is indistinguishable, it doesn't mean they're all the same in their specs. Samsung official charger for the Nexus S gives 750ma at 5V.

If it's USB, you're safe. Phone will negotiate the required current with the charger, so you could buy a 30A one if you wish, just don't turn on fast charge with overrated ones, as it disables the regulator (*KABOOM*)

Ah so AC charging with faster charger not recommended? So can we get faster charging on nexus S by getting a new battery or does it have to do with the circuitry in the phone?

TRUE it just affects the time needed to charge if it is not as powerful as the original one.
Turns out sony charger makes no difference to the charging speed even though it charges the xperia arc S in under an hour. Oh well samsung charging really sucks I guess this is a matter that needs to be highlighted more in my opinion it's a huge disadvantage.
I can confirm what ozone89 says. I've tried all kinds of charges on my NS and I've achieved same charging times.

I have bought a new USB charger which is of 2Amph. It charges my phone amazingly fast even if i am using the phone. however the problem arises at the last point of charging that when the percentage is at 96 percent phone charges very slowly. i would like to Know if this is a problem or does it happen with all chargers?
Model : CP- AD2 2.1A output with saperate USB cable. (Looks genuine) which also come with one year warranty.

I think it's a protection feature of the phone. And anyways 96 percent should be more than enough for a full day's use
The Xperia quick-charging kicks in, because you use more than 1.5amps charger.
Xperia Z will consume about 1.3A - 1.5A usually, even if your charger is sooo big, e.g 10A
But, the fast charging must stopped somewhere near 85%, and even slower at 95%, this is because the lithium-ion or lithium polymer safety consideration
at 95%, the phone charge the battery at about 100-150mA,that's why soooo slow to reach 100%
Thanks for the info guys.

Hey people, I just try my oem HTC m8 charger on my t-mobile Sony z3 via magnetic charging port and I swear it charging my phone at least double or three the rate then if I use the Sony oem it came with..
I also left it on stamina mode while charging the port..
Has anyone else try this?
Sent from my D6616 using XDA Free mobile app
Isn't the charger on the M8 1.5amps? The same as the charger on the Z3.
I have both, so I suppose I could use the M8 charger tonight and see...
You are probably right on the spec but I just don't know if it's a placebo effect but I figured I ask.. Also if I am right this would make this Phone so much sweeter than it already is..
I know it's supposed to charger faster by using the magnetic port but it seems faster using my HTC m8 charger instead of my Sony oem..
I figured I share see what you guys said

Please let us know how this goes, if it is true, I will probably end up ordering the M8 charger tonight.
i got a 2.1amp samsung tab 8.4 charger with original cable, and it seems the speed of Charging goes faster than stock charger, however i woke up twice wont my battery stuck at 99% charge and it never went to 100 so stopped using it
I've got an Anker dual port charger that has a 2.0amp and 1.5 amp ports on it that I use at work.
Although, the only time I ever charge my phone is at night... And considering charging a battery slower is generally better, I wouldn't be switching to a faster charger for my uses.
Unless I was in a hurry and *needed* the extra 15% a 'quick' charger would give me.

Samsung tablet chargers are interesting. They will actually increase voltage slightly as current draw increases to compensate for cable losses.
End result is Samsung tablet chargers often charge faster than others, sometimes significantly faster.
Helloy everyone, I know that this question is very familiar. However the problem is, I'm using the 3 old devices from 2011, which are Xperia Ray, Mini Pro and W8
As I've read, people only said that new devices that use 1A output charger can be charged with 2A one, as the charger can automatically adjusts the adequate output regarding the phone's. But how about my old devices, do they have this automatic adjustment function?. I'm currently using a 1A output HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid) charger and it still charge the phone as usual, but tend to be very hot in return (way hotter than charging my HTC Sensation 4G, but it still haven't explode!!!). (and just in case, the Xperia Ray/X8/Mini Pro all are charged with the EP800 850mA output)
So just to make sure, somebody please clarify this problem for me. And in long term, should this charging method harm my battery or not?.
*My living place is a little bit inconvenient to buy a proper charger, but if there could be any danger to my phone, I will immediately buy a new EP800.
Please help me, thank you.
If I understand correctly, you will warm up because you're using a high amperage, it is normal. The charger should be calibrated for the type of battery that mounts the phone, use other could damage the battery.
I am using my Lenovo K920's 2A charger together with its cable to charge all my devicess - Xperia X8, HTC Legend, W.4G S860t, Jabra Talk.
A860t is relatively new and has no issues.
X8 is fine, no overheating, fully charging (the battery is still "like new" despite the >5 years intensive use. NOTE: I have been having a lot of problems for the 1st year with the original SE charger and cable, not being able to charge the phone; also it didn't want to charge at all with a 1A charger and any cable).
Legend has an issue having much longer charging, but it is likely to be the battery dying (>5 years of intensive use).
Jabra Talk has no issues.
