Charger Question

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.

Problem with charging issues

My xe doesn't have any battery draining issues but charges very slow.
How can I solve it?

That's normal even my sensation does that you can buy ipad chargers which outputs higher voltage and thus charge way faster

[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.

Wall charger.

My RAZR Max HD wall charger is 1000ma. Will the battery life be effected if I use a charger that is 850ma. I realize it will take longer to fully charge the phone.

No it won't really matter. Although sometimes it won't charge on anything but the factory charger.

If at all possible, use the factory charger. I've tried a 1amp/1000mA that came with a galaxy nexus. It didn't charge as fast and I would attribute that to the original being 6 watts.

I meant volt. Sorry

If the amperage is more it won't make a difference, all usb chargers should be 5v. If the amperage is less than that of the HTC charger it may not charge or register a charge but actually discharge (fatal to a lipoly battery if it drops too low). The amperage is the maximum load the device can safely output the 5v. If the charger was rated at only 0.5amp then the voltage would drop (it might only output 2v or spike randomly) if the phone tried to draw more, if the charger used shoddy conponants then it may overheat and set on fire.
A higher amp rating is fine, infact you may get a cleaner output. For example your wall outlet might be rated at 13amp but you can plug in a 1amp shaver or a 13amp kettle - it makes no difference.
