So I picked up this at Target today to give it a try but not having a lot of background with non-OEM car chargers wanted to see if there is anything I need to be concerned about as far as over/undervolting and damaging the phone.
Just goes from a standard 12V lighter socket to 2 USB slots. Can I assume it's wired to only do the standard 500mah just like when I use the USB cable that came with my phone and plug it into my PC?
Or, is there some app I should install and monitor it when I plug it in the first time to help determine this?
I really like the fact this one is pretty much flush with the lighter socket and I can close the socket cover when I don't need it.

It should work as it gives 5 Volts. How much mAh it gives is usually printed on the product or packaging. Today's chargers often do 1000 mAh, but 500 is ok too.

hey there,
I'm searching for a mini usb to mini usb cable. I have my diamond in a brodit holder in my car. It's resting on 2 restpoints where in the middle the usb charge cable is being inserted. Everything fine so far. However, I have a little FM-transmitter so I can listen to internet radio in my car:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But if I connect this one, my phone can't be inserted in the holder neither would be charge cable fit since the charging point is out of the center:
So basically I'm looking for a very short extension cable to put between my phone and the FM-transmitter.
I know I could probably use something like this:
But in this case I prefer to keep it basic, with just a simple extension cable. Problem is: I'm unable to find something simple like this...
Does anyone have the 'idea of the day'?
I bought this adapter 2 weeks ago in the airport of Amsterdam for 15€, but is similar to the one you posted:
So I managed to snap one of the micro usb port pins out of the socket from my phone. I was in a rush, phone plugged in, grabbed the phone (at an angle), and yanked the charging cable off.
I noticed the next day it wasn't charging when i plugged it in. On further inspection, I could see one of the pins was bent/broken in the charging port. I can wiggle it to get it to charge, but it's annoying as hell. I've been using my wall charger, but i really need to fix this because I use the GPS a lot in the car.
LONG STORY SHORT
Took the phone apart to see if I could replace the micro usb port. I can. I'm just not sure which type of micro-b to buy. Can anyone point me to a product/link which sells the part I need based on the photos below? I'm comfortable soldering.

Chinese Star N920e (awesome phone btw).
Thanks for any help.

I got my G5 Charging cradle (BCK-5100) yesterday and want to share my first impressions:
The device comes with an additional battery pack and a plastic case for transport of the battery pack. It seems Iike good quality and I didn't find any issues. The charging cradle can be used as a power bank with a normal USB cable and is charged with USB Type C like the LG G5. Charging takes as long as charging the phone as it supports Quick Charge. The charging status is shown with three LEDs on the side next to the power button.
In all its a good extension for the G5, although its quite expensive at the moment (50 CHF = about 52 USD)

This poor guy had been collecting dust for the last five years due to his frustrating 4 hour battery life. Eventually it would even uncharge while it was plugged in to the wall with the display at minimum brightness, bluetooth and such disabled.
Be careful as I believe Nexus 9's have only been evaluated up to 1.5A. I have it plugged into a circuit breaker just in case (and have wrapped red electric tape near the tip to distinguish it from my other micro usb chargers. I'm quite sure if it would melt, although the regulator on the charger cord looks pretty legit, so who knows. Some Nexuses are older than others, mines gotten quite a lot of use so when I use this charger it doesn't even run warm let alone hot.

Need something for my motorcycle.
I just hooked this up but it's not charging.
It's connected, but not charging.

Did you test it with another phone/device? I can only guess but i guess its not related to the P7Pro.
P7P prefers PD...
It also seems to require data pins to work - a cheap "shunt 5V into the port" 2 wire charger won't work apparently.
This one should work:

These only works on very simple devices. Like a flashlight, or a radio
Thanks, guys.
One of the two leads will charge it.
Not sure why the other one doesn't.
So, I swapped the leads.
The other lead is charging a low-power GPS device.
I'm going to check the device that kodabmx posted.
I missed it in my previous shopping search!
