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.

Before I got this charge I ran nothing but HTC phones on tmobile. while being plugged into car charger and using gps the battery level goes down fast. It doesn't maintain the charge or add to it while navigating. Is this a samsung thing? Any remedies?

That cannot be right. Make sure your car charger, when it charges your phone, is pulling AC instead of USB.
GPS uses very little juice. Just get the 950ma Motorola charger from Amazon for 5 bucks. Something is messed up if your phone doesn't charge

Mine doesn't discharge, but it doesn't charge hardly at all. I'm using the Verizon dual port charger (the one that has a USB port on it as well as the standard charging end)

I use a Monoprice 2A USB charger with an OEM USB cable. Charges extremely slowly or just stays level, but never drains.

With GPS on, you barely Charge with that charger? I know its limited by the kernel at 800mA or so, but damn, that should charge you up fine.
I rock GPS in the car all the time and I still Charge pretty quickly...

All depends on what you're running at that time-4G, cell and GPS reception, etc.

Make sure you are using a high amp charger. I like the one from Motorola.
Even so, with 4g and the screen on - the phone charges slowly. Turn the screen off and it charges much quicker.

Is there any more powerfull charger then stock charger ?
It takes me about 2hours from 50-100% to charge it its really a pain as i max get 1h30 mins of screen on time :/ and the battery runs out quite fast but takes ages to charge back...

Look for an older Nokia charger with micro usb. I've got one from an old phone and it charges my sensation from close to 0 to 100% in under 2 hours.

Ive found an old one but no micro usb but i wonder why all chargers outputs the same thing like not the usb cable but the power box ? On my old device i changed the usb cord and plugged in the same power box results : 2x faster charge

The higher the mAh output, the faster it'll charge. If your battery is 1900mAh, and you have a 750mAh DC output, it'll take 2.53 hours to charge (roughly). The best you can usually find is around an amp, 1.0 mAh, and that'll charge it in a little less than two hours. I'm using a MiFi charger with 1.05mAh, works pretty good. You can find out what a charger's DC output is by reading it's label.
i have an ipad charger and it's alot faster than the charger that cam out with my phone
i think it's 2.1A or something

Hello everyone,
I can't find my wall charger. I had to charge my phone so I used a wall charger for my tablet. The charger's output is 5v-2amp. The oem charger's output is 5v-1amp.
My question is will my temporary charger have any negative effects on my phone since it charges 1amp higher than the oem charger?
It shouldn't. My friend used his iPad charger for his iPhone long term. It didn't have any negative effects on it.
Edit: all it did was make it charge faster. An it did have a different voltage and amperage output than his iPhone charger..

Depending on the internal circuit of HOX, it may or may not harm your phone. iDevices are pretty good at operating with other iDevice accessory and may have circuits built to prevent damage. Check if it gets very hot - if true, don't use it.

USB is a universal plug designed for up to 2 amp at 5v... Typically the phone (or device) will only draw as much as it's a capable of handling... But I concur with the above post, if you think is getting to hot just charging, probably stop...

I agree about the charging faster and this reminded me of an article that I had read recently. Check this out:

I use my touch pad charger to charge my one x. It charges a lot faster. No negative effects.

Amazon Kindle chargers work as well as OE HTC chargers, and the cable is longer. I bought a couple of the $.01 chargers from Amazon for my Inspire 4G, and while they worked, the official HTC ones charged faster. When I got the HOX, the cheap chargers would charge for a bit, but then stop. So I picked up an extra Kindle charger and it works great!

+1, also use my kindle charger for my HOX, much longer than the stock HTC cable and charges just as fast.
I charge my Kindle with my HTC One X charger and I charge my HTC One X with my Kindle charger.
My car dock is attached to a 2.1A charger, no extra heat and no other obvious negative affects.
Was wondering whether there are things to watch out for when considering wireless charging. The charger supplied with the phone is a normal one as far as i know. Are there any drawbacks when using any wireless charger? Is the hp touchpad touchstone compatible? Any info will be much appreciated

they generally charge slower. maybe twice as long(or a little less than twice as long)
The touchstone probably won't work - it's not Qi compatible.
If you're using the Nexus 4 wireless charger, the good news is that the 5 doesn't generally slide off.
If I'm not mistaken the brick says 1.5 outout and my htc one charger had 1. Is it gonna charge faster or something? This could be a dumb question.

Yeah its a 1.5 and it it should charge faster
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app
Yes and the new bundled charger supports QuickCharge 1.0
is there any downside to using a charger that outputs more than 1.5a?
no downside to too many, just too few. more amperage, higher possible current (at the same voltage)

Is there a permanent downside to using one with too few amps? Or just the obvious one that the phone won't charge fast (if at all)

No, it will just be less current. In some cases this may mean the phone won't charge at all (for example, a low current power adapter while you are using a hotspot would most likely still drain your battery slowly). Low current won't cause damage but your phone may take longer to be able to turn on when it fully depletes and has to recharge.
Real world example: my phone ran out of battery while I was in my car and I tried to use a cigarette port charger and then immediately power it back on as I had done numerous times at home with the A/C adapter. Unfortunately the car adapter was lower current so it took about 10 minutes for my phone to charge back to a point where it would power on. During this time I was blindly driving around haha.
