External solar battery.

Hello, I just got an external battery with solar panels that is for desire HD. I bought it from eBay.
I noticed that the output volts are 5.5. I heard that the HD will only take 5v. is 5.5v to much and it will fry my phone or its safe?
Thanks

do you think that you could link us to the one you bought? i've searched for a bit on ebay and haven't really found one with good/promising reviews yet, shall keep looking though

I didn't know these existed . Could you possibly send me the link to the one you bought on eBay?

how fast is the reacharge? Is it faster?

powertraveller have universal solar chargers - max output is 300ma though doesn't charge fast at all. (if youre using the phone expect the battery % to go down still, just marginally slower than normal)

I dont think this could fry ur cell
I assume it safe with that much voltage.

Sorry for very late response lol. I forgot about the topic. I used it a bit and it's garbage. The solar panel need like 48 hours for full recharge. I guess that's what you get when you pay 15$ for it. Now I use normal recharger that I bought from China.

[Q] Voltage problem?

Heya,
So when my girlfriend plugs her inspire into her laptop it says the phone is using too much voltage/current than what its being provided so it wont charge... Though when i am at her house and charge my vivid with her wall plug i feel like my phone charges a lot more slowly.. Could this be a cable problem for her or an electrical problem?
She lives in a older house so that made me wonder if it could be electrical or something...
I also just recently got it back from HTC because of a dead motherboard and i charged it at my house no problem...
The phone is running WCX Sense 3.5 1.5ghz ROM if that brings any light on the subject
Edit: was a cable/wall charger problem and is fixed

Make sure that you are using the original cable. Some USB cables do not work properly...try using a different one to see what happens

Yeah found out my cable actually charged the phone a lot faster... funny thing is that mine is just a random one i bought at bestbuy xD because of my cable breaking... So weird just going to buy her my cable and call it good
Thanks for your reply

I know for sure that cheap after market chargers (like Chinese ones I know for sure) can fry your phone because of a voltage problem lol

[Q] 2 Amp Charger?

Has anyone tried a 2A charger with the One X? Will it actually pull more than one amp?

I have an hp touchpad charger that I use from time to time. I don't notice a big difference in charge time over the stock charger. Is there a way I could test this?

When I use my touchpad charger it seems like it charges faster.

I use my iPad 3 charger and don't notice any significantly faster charge times.

The phone will only accept a 1A charge period.

[Q] Desire S takes longer too charge

My HTC Desire S is taking 4-5 hours from 10-10% charging, I am using TC U250 adapter to charge my phone and it also takes to much time when charging from 95% to 100%,can some one explain me this,

are you using the native HTC charger? if you use it, there shouldn't be such a problem.

I contacted HTC about that, they said its normal.

True story it is normal! I need 3 hours for full charge from 0-15% to 100%

You have some Roms that charge in 1 hour very fast

The thing you need to look out is your output current. Recommended output is 5V 1A, it will still charge if you go higher like 1.5A or even 2.1A. Otherwise, it would not charge just like your situation. Hope it helps.

Make sure you "switch the button twice" So that you get above 1A
