So my spouse decided to put the wrong f'ing plug into her AT&T One X, not sure what she was thinking, but it destroyed the usb connection. My question is, are there any Pogo Pin charging options? Or cases that work via Pogo Pins that also allow me to charge the phone thru them?
Your help is VERY much appreciated!!!!!!!!!
How about a warranty exchange?
This is one option, if you're handy enough:

I like this one, I think it was for the ONE X not our ONE XL.
I do not think you can find a dock that uses the pogo pins for our phone unfortunately.
You may be able to find a case that uses the pogo pins.
I searched and I can't find anything for our phone that uses the pogo pins other than the mugen $100 extended battery case

That dock is indeed for the endeavoru one x.
The Touchstone charging mod from iElvis is cool but I don't think it will charge as quickly as you would want it to. If the phone is still under warranty just get it replaced.
You could use the Mugen battery case. It uses the pogo pings to charge the phone and then has a standard micro usb port to charge the case battery.

It charges just as fast as regular USB.
But if you want simple, the battery case is the way to go.
I'm pretty sure the one x and xl are exactly the same. It's not the international. Both phones are branded AT&T. They just have different names... I'm almost 100% sure

Nope sorry, they're comepletely different phones they just look similar, and the lte radios in the xl (at&t) make it taller. Enough so that hard cases and the official htc dock don't work with it

this is my first HTC device, so maybe this is standard... but with my 2 prior samsung devices, the usb cord that came with the charger was about twice as long as the one that came with my HTC One X. it seems like it is unreasonably short. i'm going to have to get an extension cord to plug it into the wall and let the phone sit on my nightstand while charging!

You can always use your old usb cords they will work

Like the person above me said, use the old one you have. Problem solved.
All phone companies are going this way. A penny saved is a penny earned. lol. I guess we have Apple to thank for this one. Their sync cables have always been short. Only takes one, and the rest will follow.

yeah i'm sure the old one will work. but i want to sell my ATT GSII, and to get the most money for it i'll have to sell the charger with it. really don't want to go out and buy another usb cord... so i'll just go with the extension cord in the outlet. it is disappointing though.
mine is the same length as my samsung usb...
nevermind

mine is a good 6 inches shorter, at least. which samsung? i've had an infuse and a SGSII (both AT&T) over the past 9 months, and those have long usb cords.
Search eBay for "samsung OEM micro USB cable". I bought a whole bunch of them a while back; about $1.99 each with free shipping. Also, you can get the Samsung wall chargers, which have a lengthy cord as well. Search for "Samsung OEM wall charger", when I bought them they were around $3.00

Anyone have an issue where the charger is going on and off while plugged in?
I've noticed it with my car charger. HTC's charger is fine. I recently bought the touchstone and wanted to try it out. When I hook it up to the pogo pins, it started doing the same thing. The odd thing is that very rarely it will work correctly. I'm not sure what's causing the problem or how I can fix it, but I was just curious if anyone else had the issue.
EDIT: It happened on both stock and CleanROM/ElementalX. Not sure if it's a hardware problem or possibly the charger can't dish out enough juice. Seems like the touchstone is working for others though =S
Are you using the official charger?

Did you buy the touchstone charger for the international one x? or for the xl? I know the pogo pins line up differently on the 2 phones, not quite sure how touchstone works though.

Official car charger? No. The charger I got is the powerjolt dual which is supposed to be able to do 1A @ 5V so it seems like it *should* be able to give enough power to charge it. The charger that came with the phone is fine.

Oh the touchstone charger isn't even meant for any One X's. It's an inductive charger for the Palm Pre. I ripped out the internals so I can shove them inside the HOXL's casing and wireless charge my phone.
Has anyone found a spot to buy them? The ones on the Samsung site look different. And I want to make sure the end fits inside my case because the hole is designed for the cable that comes with the phone. I don't want to get into cutting the case or cable ends.

Don't waste your money buying them from samsung. All usb cables are the same, just find a cheap one on amazon or monoprice. You could just look at pictures and find one that looks small enough to fit your case.
Edit- well I guess this is wrong. I've bought a few couple cheap usb cables and never had a problem but other people have.
Just to let you know...the tmobile mytouch usb fits into the neo case too. They might be cheaper too

I used to think the same thing, but this is absolutely not true. You can download the app Galaxy Charging Current and compare your charging rates with different cables. If you don't believe the app, you can start from a specific charge level and time the charge with the screen off and no apps running. There can be a significant difference. There are several posts throughout the GS4 forums if you search for the app name.
This isn't only true for the GS4 either. I tried using a USB 2.0 extension cable I bought in 03 or 04 to extend my Palm Pre touchstone, but the phone wouldn't consistently charge with the extension in place.
How's the charging speed on those? I know some cheaper cables don't charge as quickly.

NOT all cables are the same!
The included one with the phone allows charging up to 1900mA. The one from the S3 (for example) will only charge up to 960. I have some that won't go over 460.

Its true about the varying speeds of usb cables. Here are some pics of the app with different usb plugs:
Pic 1: unplugged
Pic 2: white Samsung cable (stock)
Pic 3: htc evo 3d cable (stock)
Pic 4: htc evo 3d cable (aftermarket from car adapter)
I will grab the palm pre cables speed on Tuesday when I go to work.

So is it the cable that is affecting the charging current, or is it just the charger itself?
Thanks

Both.
What is strange to me the phone with that app reports it's getting 1900mA when I use an old HTC charger capable of 1A (1000mA) @ 5V when using the OEM USB cable. Either that HTC charger's specs were grossly understated or the phone itself tries to sense electrical properties of the USB cable? Not sure if that last bit is even possible.
Anyone with knowledge on how the phone determines how much current to draw on a lower level? Kinda curious.
Also, there are sellers on eBay for the original S4 charging cable for something like $7, or same charging cable and 2A wall adapter for $10.
See for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230980370756
The part number they list (ETA-U90JWE) is the same as my OEM charger, that can do 2A @ 5 V.

:BUMP:
Also looking for a 1900mA charger/usb chord combo. Found 2 "OEM" fakes on Amazon (reviews reported fake), and can't just buy, and hope for the best on eBay. Looking to see if someone has bought, tried, and tested a charger/chord combo that does 1900mA from a reliable source. I'm not paying $40+ for a charger/usb chord from samsung. There's got to be an alternative.
Newegg.com sells them.
I've ordered this charger + cable (aware of the risk of fake, will be comparing to my included/OEM), this micro USB cable, and this micro USB cable.
Also waiting on this car charger.
Using Battery Monitor Widget app to get mA readings during charge.
Will report back with results as I receive and test.
I bought this, since my S4 came with the european one, this is 100% original (Same that comes with the S4 and Note 2):

Wasting money here ... finally received above cable via DX.com and nope, only transmits 700 mA max to the S4. fakkkk
whenever i try charging my phone through the OEM charger that i got with it,recently these days SOMETIMES i get a pop up saying something about Slow Charging...??
besides the charging doesn't start always dont know if my charger plug is loose or my cable is broken or my socket is bad or my phone port has been damaged?
any way to find out?
and does use of another charger,with a less amp output brick the phone?
i have heard stories about car chargers!
I agree. I'd suggest buying another HTC charger.

The factory charger shouldn't give you that warning. I suspect either the power "block" or the cable is defective and malfunctioning. Yes, its possible it could be the port on the phone. But trying a different charger is of course the easier factor to eliminate first.
Agree that another OEM HTC charger is the safest way to go. Technically, its been stated on here (by folks likely smarter than me) that the battery will only pull the amps that it needs, and using a higher amp charger will not have negative effects. And using one with lower amperage shouldn't damage it either. But even if this is true, things do not always function 100% as designed or as they are "supposed to". So using an official HTC charger is the safest thing to do, if you are nervous about it.
If the amp rating is the same (as it often is for most phone charges, although specs on tablet chargers are often different), I'd day using a different manufacturer micro-USB charger is probably okay (I do it all the time). But if you have to buy a new charger anyway, it might as well be an "official" HTC one.
I recently put a custom rom on my phone and i get that message when my phone hits a 100% never seen this message ever on my stock rom.

Hi guys,
I'm at my witts end. My One x has stopped charging properly anymore with the usb cable, I started to have to nudge the cable around until it would charge.
Now after a few weeks of that it has compeletely stopped charging, no matter how much I move the usb cable around in the plug on the phone side.
I have tried different cables too but to no avail.
I don't know what to do now. The battery has run flat and I cannot use my phone anymore.
Any ideas??
Thanks.

It looks like your only option is to replace the usb port on your phone, or have a phone repair shop replace it for you.
Yes this is the feeling that I am getting. I'm just surprised that this connector can actually fail. It's not like I mistreated it.
Is this common issue with the One X?
It isn't common, I've only seen a couple of these cases.

Can I just buy an cradle that charges the phone through the back pins? Any one got experience with this?
The phone doesn't support wireless charging natively.
Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
Not wireless, but it's got 4 pins at the back and there seems to be a cradle from HTC for it.
Ahh yeah ok you mean the pogo pins, I'm following you now. I've never actually seen the cradle.
Sent from a crappy Samsung because my Evita died
My understanding is that HTC shifted the pogo pins on the XL compared to the international X. This means the dock you see around doesn't work for our phone.
