You're completely fine. I think the battery might get hot, so keep the phone in a somewhat cool environment.

as long as it is 5VOLTS it should be no problem, but that doesn't mean that your phone charges faster

I do use a 2A charger in my car because the 1A was overheating. I do always use the GPS in my car + mobile network and BT are always on.
The 2A charger can charge my phone (now) whilst I`m using the phone in the car.
The battery draws only the power it needs from the charger not the other way round so you can use a 10Amp charger if you want to without doing any harm to the battery.
It might actually charge slower as the phone could pick it up as a generic usb which will only draw half an amp so as not to over-draw a usb port. I believe to get full 1 amp charging the data pins in either the cable or charger have to be shorted (connected.)

sorry for English not perfect. I am translating with google.
I have a car charger that marks OUTPUT 5V --- 650mA (max)
if i use this charger with the nexus one I run the risk of ruining the battery?
Or can I use it safely?
I think you will be alright in terms of damage, but you may want to look at a 1a charger or like a 900ma charger so that when you are using the GPS and all of that it can continue to charge instead of not being able to keep up with the draw from the device(what I am thinking will happen with the power output from the charger you mentioned.
I can try and better explain if I was too confusing, hope this helps

Where have you guys been able to find an adequate charger for GPS and normal phone use? Ive had trouble with this.
manual, in specification, is written:
Charges at 480mA from USB, at 980mA from supplied charger
What does this mean?
So my 680mA working? or not?
It will charge. Just slowly. And if you are using gps or streaming audio it may not keep up.

try nokia dc-10 1200 mah - can't beat that. Little on the expensive side but is retractable and looks great

the "quickcharge" port on it is 1a, the regular is 500mA.

Hope it works better than the Belkin "Quick Charge" USB car charger my wife has for her iPhone, I don't get a quick charge on it on my Nexus One. Middle pins aren't shorted I presume.
Hi
I'm having a problem with charging my HTC devices on my Honda Fireblade.
My motorcycle dealer added a cigaretlighter so I can charge the HTC while driving and using it as GPS.
The problem is that the Sensation (and even my Desire HD or HD2) won't charge although the indicator light on the charger is on. So I've tested the charger with other equiment and it works.
Does anyone knows what can be the problem? The battery of the Honda is 12V
thx for any advise!
What is the charger output?
It should have 5V and 1A or 2A. If voltage lower, it will not charge..

I use this charger also in the car and there it works.
I bought this charger when I was on a trip and it's original for nokia
He's right, your charger probably doesn't have enough output. I noticed that certain house chargers I already had were charging the phone extremely slow and others charged the phone quickly. That's when I noticed that the ones that charged the phone quickly were 5v and had at least 1A. The ones that were less were too low of an output to charge the phone properly. You're more than likely experiencing the same thing. I'm willing to bet if you check what the output is on the charger you're using you'll probably see it either isn't the right voltage or the amps are too low...or both.

All right, I'll check it first....it's in the car now
The nokia charger is
input 12 V
output 5V - 550mA
So you guys are right....it still doesn't explain to me why the charger works in car and not on motorcycle. Maybe because the battery output in car is higher A?
I'm not into electrical stuff :-(
So, if I order for example this one....it could work on my motorbike?

Bear in mind I'm just speculating with this but your car's cigarette lighter may be putting out more power than your motorcycle's (especially since it wasn't original). Also though it may have been charging in your car, that doesn't mean it was charging at the rate it should have been (it might have been barely charging). Sort of like what I was saying I had experienced when I used a lower output charger (the really slow charging).
Yeah that looks ok. I'd imagine that you be sufficient.
The charger I have is a Nokia DC-4. Bought from Nokia themselves as lots of shops sell copies. The copies don't seem to have the right electronics in them to power the more expensive (read: power hungry) phones. I have to have a converter on the end to go to micro-usb (also a Nokia part) but it means we can also use it for the wife's Nokia.
I'd make sure you went genuine part, or at least one that someone else says works.

It should be working. But better you try it first, borrow from a friend that have this charger and try it on your motobike. If still not working. My conclusion is that your motobike most probabily produce a low voltage or current than what it were suppose to.

I've received the charger. Did a test last night and test....failed. Still not charging.
So :
could it ba the usb cable itself?
can I measure the output current on my bike?
I'm with stupid on these matters, and my mecancic is on holiday
Hi,
Today I was using GPS app - HTC Locations. In about 45 minutes battery went down from 100% to 50% (I noticed that using satellite GPS makes the phone very hot) and I decided to connect a charger that I have bought recently - HTC CC-C200 car charger.
The problem was... the battery was still being discharged!
I turned off the nav app and left only basic system apps and the phone was charging only about 5 percent in 30 minutes. Keeping in mind how fast the phone was discharging using navigation, it is simple that the car charger won't do.
Anybody else has this problem? How can I actually use a navigation??
is it the official car charger from t-mobile.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
It is original HTC's car charger - CC-C200
One question - can an USB extension cord (plug in to this original HTC's charger and then original HTC USB cable to this cord) decrease the speed of charging?
Car chargers will always charge slower. 12v vs. 110v.

Are u sure that the 110V network adapter, charge the phone with 110 volts ?
The 110V charger:
HTC New Slim Design AC Adapter TC E250 (with EU Plug Unit + micro USB Cable, 5V/1A
and the car charger:
HTC Generic Car Charger with USB/micUSB Cable CC C200 (1A/5V)
have SAME charge power: 1A at 5Vm that is 5W.
The PC USB ports are rated at 500mA, but if u check the port with digital multimeter (cut the cable and put Ampere-meter) u can see that u can drain ~700-800mA , Asus and SuperMicro Motherboard tested from me
@EniHS if u make the lenght of the cable bigger the electrical resistance grow too . I think that 1 meter more wont be such a problem, but if u really wanna check how this will change the power of charge u need to measure it with Ampere-meter
This is an easy one... I try to never get the charger from the store because it (usually) won't put out enough juice to keep up.
I found that if use the same current for charging my ipad, it works much better and can keep up. With that in mind, you can purchase any charger with a 2 Amp output (10 watts) that has a generic USB connector. Try the search "10 watt usb car charger" on Google or Amazon.
Get the free app "juice plotter," which will plot your battery usage and charge. If you're plugged in and the plot is still going down, then the drain is still greater than the charge, and you'll need a better charger. Good luck!

That would be a solution. I'll buy 2A 5V charger. I assume that I should only replace the plug and the USB cable can be left from original HTC car charger?
Isn't it dangerous for the phone to charge by 2A instead of 1A (original charger)? Or the only difference is the charging speed?
Solved!
I did some tests today and discovered that if I charge the phone normally (no program running, GPS off) with HTC car charger WITH extension USB cable... phone was charging 1% in 25 minutes!!! That would be over 40 hours to charge the device from zero to full! I thought I had charger broken, but... I tried with NO EXTENSION CABLE, just the HTC plug and HTC cable, then the phone was charging normally 1% in 2 minutes!
So... the problem are extension cables, but still don't know why...
I noticed this even with wall chargers. Yesterday when I bought my phone, I plugged it in to my old charger & noticed it was charging slow. Once I switched to the charger that came with my Sensation, it charges normally now. I haven't looked at the chargers to compare if something is different but it is very strange
Isn't strange at all, it's essentially that they are not being supplied a great enough charge and so power from the battery is utilised in addition. ideally you want above 700mAh for standard charging/use.
Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a good app to measure how fast your battery is charging while connected to an outlet.
I just got a Duracell usb car charger that says it outputs 2.1 amps, but when I check in settings>about phone>status while charging my phone it says it's charging as USB (slow) rather than AC (fast), so need an app that can show me the rate at which my phone is charging.
Any suggestions?

I don't really know of an app.. But I do believe its the phone that regulates the amount of current to the battery not the charger.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yeah I know that the phone will only take in what it can, so I wasn't expecting it to charge at the full 2.1 amps or anything but it's bugging me that it says it's only charging as USB.
I just want to make sure it's not charging slower than my other charger (1 amp) that DOES charge as 'AC'.

Gotcha, I use a compact power inverter in my vehicle it has a USB port and a 110 socket. Says AC if charging in either port..

I have note2 right now which have to go. But I'll keep my office charger which is 2A.
Can I safely use it to charge n5?
Sent from SGH-i317m
Using chargers with a high power (A) is no problem, the phone will not "take" more than it needs.
Sorry for the poor english ^^
The issue is if charging IC can handle 2A current or not. I dying wanna fry it lol
I would think it should not be an issue while 2A ICs are widely used in our days, but "better be safe then sorry".

While AFAIK there's no 1.5A ICs, than its 99% safe to say they using 2A nominal IC.

If using a different charger was a problem they would have made the connection something other than micro USB.

Not really. Charging current depends on IC installed, not the connector itself.

From what I understand, you could use a 10A charger and still be fine. The handset will not take any more than it needs. Basically, the charger doesn't push current, the phone pulls it.

Thats correct and nothing else. No way to destroy a phone with too much A because it just takes as much it needs. The 2A on an charger is just the maximum power output. It is physical impossible to PUSH the ampere in the device.
