Anybody happen to know where to get a 220 volt EU charger for this phone?
Hmm... or can I used another phones wall plug and plug the usb cord to it?

You should be able to use another phone's wall adaptor, so long as it transforms down to the proper amperage.

most new adaptors are rated 100-240V - I use the same adaptor in the US and in Europe. Just read the label before plugging it!
It's just a USB charger. Virtually any will do.

Indeed, the stock charger is 100-240V, so all you really need is a simple adapter plug.

Yeah, I got one of those too. And I also use all of my other EU chargers (Motorola, Sony, etc).
One uses 850mA, the rest is with 1.000mA like the one frome Samsung for your T699.

Are accessories compatible across all htc models? I have an old htc car charger, which would obviously need an adapter for mini/micro usb, but otherwise is the power output etc all the same?

Apparently mini and microUSB have the same pinout. It should work.
I bought a Motorola microUSB rapid charger for mine. It was listed as compatible by the vendor... we'll see I've been using Motorola chargers with my G1.
Make sure your charger can provide a full 1A, not 500mA (standard USB current). I've found the phone can draw nearly 500mA under heavy use, so the battery doesn't get much charge. My G1 actually draws more power than the charger supplies when doing navigation...

Anyone know if there are any devices like this that has 900mA output (or know what output the linked one has)? Seems that's the minimum needed to charge the Charge via USB. My current one rated at 700mA does nothing when plugged in the Charge.
My friend has one something like this and I was using it for my Charge and it worked fairly well. I am not sure if it is the same one but they look the same size, I just used the usb that came with the charge to plug into it and it worked. It also works well with his iphone 4 if that helps at all.

$1.99 free ship, takes a while because it comes from china, but worth the wait it is 1000ma like the wall charger.

Do you actually own this? I'm pretty interested in it as mine has stopped working.
I came from the fascinate and the wall charger was only 0.7A and the Charge wall charger is 1.0A
I was looking at some brands and found a Belkin Micro Charger for the car that charges at 2.1A (Says rapid charge)
Checked around for any other products and found this at newegg. $9.99 2.1A USB charger.

Edit: Also found this on ebay. knockoff no name. Looks the same as a scosche one I found.

This is rated at 2A and still retains the factory Cig plug if you need it:

The description says 2000mA total for the 5 charging ports. Is each one rated at a lower Amp or it is 2000mA to a device until you plug in another one.

IDK....I'll find out I guess...I ordered it.
I just ordered 2 off of eBay. Will see how they work.

I ordered this one, if it doesn't work or isn't small enough I will prob try the $2 one from eBay. Thanks for all the suggestions.
I bought a dual usb car charger (it has 2 usb ports) that says its for ipads or tablets, and supplies 2A. It does seem to charge faster than my other car chargers, but I think it also triggers USB mass storage mode, because apps stored on the SD card aren't usable when its plugged into this. Is this because of the USB cable i'm using (a generic USB to micro usb cable)? or is it because of the charger?
this is the charger - although Amazon's pictures don't exactly match - the one customer supplied picture does, though.

Any one know of any good wall chargers? Or any good car chargers?
I'm not interested in the usb plug kind. I'm looking for wall and car chargers that aren't usb and just charge (hope that makes sense).
Thanks.

I've just bought this tablet from Amazon.de to be shipped to me in the UK - it's likely to come with a Euro style power adapter, so I need to buy a UK equivalent.
Can someone tell me what the specs of the adapter are?
I'm guessing 5v @ either 1 or 2 amps...?
Thanks!

The charger is quite special I think.
Attached is a picture of mine. (Euro.)
5v @ 2A or 15v @ 1.2A (Yes it has two ratings?)

I have no idea when it runns what though, or even what pins it applies it to. It may be some odd propriatary system...
Edit:
It seems to be related to USB 3.0 and some extra pin.
Normal USB 2.0 plugs will activate the 5v charge, while a USB 3.0 plug with some fiddly shorting or something can activate 15v.
More power through a thin wire
Edit2:
It's the same adapter as for the Prime apparantly.
Ok, cheers.
I guess I'll buy a travel adapter instead - I can use the original psu then, instead of trying to find a replacement straightaway.

Anyone know alink to a wall charger for this tablet? I went to best buy today and found they have nothing to sell me to charge my tablet. I tried my friends IPad 3 wall charger and it doesnt work. Someone suggested 12v but i cant find any of these with a volt regulation spec just wats. If anyone can suggest a wall charger and link it would be great. Thanks!

the original charger has a dual mode operation, if you stick a regular usb cable it will work as a regular usb charger - 5v @ 500-2000mah, if you stick asus transformer cable it will switch to 15v @ 1200mah
asus cable sport a usb 3 connector but uses it in an non-standard way, pin 7 is used to switch modes, if the charger find it connected it will go into 15v mode otherwise usb mode.
on the other side, the tablet wont go into "charging mode" if it dont find at least 12v on its connector so if you want to build a diy charger you'll need one that at least has these specs.

It might work but you will most likely damage your motherboard. Sucking more out than what is supplied will destroy it. Hence why FC mods are not highly recommended. Look at the specs of whichever computer you are going to plug that into. If it has sufficient power (most are standard 5v 500ma) USB ports. Just use caution. I personally just grabbed a powered USB charger. Meaning, there is a battery that can be recharged from a wall outlet, the charged battery then charges whatever i plug into the two USB ports. (up to 15volts) works great on my TF300T. However, i hardly need to use it. Battery lasts all day from a single charge overnight from the wall outlet.

Mini Bullet Dual USB 2-Port Car Charger Adaptor
Input Voltage:12V or 24V DC
Output Voltage & Current
Port 1: 5V 2.1A
Port 2: 5V 1.0A
Is it safe to use the above on any port? or charge 2 phone at the same time while surfing for T-mobile HTC One S?
thx
38 viewers but no one able to answer a yes or no.
In what way do you think it might not be safe?
I doubt very much if it will put out a full 2.1A from the blue port with two devices plugged in.

The device draws power up to what it needs or up to what's available. If it needs 2 amps that's all it will draw even if the charger can supply more. The charger doesn't force power into the battery.

Your charger will regulate what it pulls...think of it this way, would you put your phone charger straight into the cig socket? Of course, well that socket has to be rated for more than your adapter our else it could only put out what your socket gives it to begin with.

Use only one for charge at same time because it get warm and can harm our devices.
you can use the 1.0 amp port without a problem or the 2.1 amp port if only if you need a quick emergency charge for your phone
