Helloy everyone, I know that this question is very familiar. However the problem is, I'm using the 3 old devices from 2011, which are Xperia Ray, Mini Pro and W8
As I've read, people only said that new devices that use 1A output charger can be charged with 2A one, as the charger can automatically adjusts the adequate output regarding the phone's. But how about my old devices, do they have this automatic adjustment function?. I'm currently using a 1A output HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid) charger and it still charge the phone as usual, but tend to be very hot in return (way hotter than charging my HTC Sensation 4G, but it still haven't explode!!!). (and just in case, the Xperia Ray/X8/Mini Pro all are charged with the EP800 850mA output)
So just to make sure, somebody please clarify this problem for me. And in long term, should this charging method harm my battery or not?.
*My living place is a little bit inconvenient to buy a proper charger, but if there could be any danger to my phone, I will immediately buy a new EP800.
Please help me, thank you.
If I understand correctly, you will warm up because you're using a high amperage, it is normal. The charger should be calibrated for the type of battery that mounts the phone, use other could damage the battery.
I am using my Lenovo K920's 2A charger together with its cable to charge all my devicess - Xperia X8, HTC Legend, W.4G S860t, Jabra Talk.
A860t is relatively new and has no issues.
X8 is fine, no overheating, fully charging (the battery is still "like new" despite the >5 years intensive use. NOTE: I have been having a lot of problems for the 1st year with the original SE charger and cable, not being able to charge the phone; also it didn't want to charge at all with a 1A charger and any cable).
Legend has an issue having much longer charging, but it is likely to be the battery dying (>5 years of intensive use).
Jabra Talk has no issues.

So I was wondering if I could find the original G2 wall charger, the one that came in the box. I bought my phone from craigslist and that guy didnt have the charger for some reason. I've been using some motorola one and very happy with it cause it didnt have rapid charging and battery life was great too (not sure if the charger plays a role). But couple weeks ago the wire got loose and wouldnt connect properly, so I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...331986&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1184wt_950
Ever since I've been using that my phone goes to 100% from 10% in two hours, and battery life has been bad too since using that. I have used the phone the same was as before, I even calibrated it again, tried it with setcpu and no setcpu, used edge only also, tried different roms, used just wifi only etc, and battery life still not same as before. I mean it has to be the charger right? Otherwise it wouldnt have made a difference in using a different one. So I'm trying to find opinions from you guys to see if I can find the original one ( I have no idea what it looks like) or a similar one from ebay/amazon. Thanks for reading!
What is the rated Output on the charger that you have? The stock one is supposed to put out 1 Amp (1000 ma). It isn't uncommon for it to go from 10 to 'full' in 2 hours, but just because the phone shows it full, doesn't mean its there. Are you charging overnight or just for that 2 hour period?
Yes I am charging overnight. Output says 5V, 1A, so I'm guessing thats 1000ma/1Amp?
The G2's cord is rounder at the USB end and the Plug- in end, but I would think it would not make a giant difference since I use a Motorola one since I don't know where my original one went.
OEM HTC charger
I'm not sure if your still looking, but i bought a Brand New OEM HTC charger from eBay. It was the same thing that came with G2. I'm pretty sure by the time you see this it will be sold but they list them everyday so just look at the sellers other items.
Since I'm a new user i cant post links, but the item number is 160619103766

That is the maximum current supported by the charger, but the device may request a lower current. Use something like Battery Monitor Widget or Current Widget to see how much current is actually being drawn over the USB port. The most accurate reading will be taken when the screen is off, the CPU is idle and underclocked, all radios are off, etc.
I had a cheap no-name AC adapter for my DZ, but it caused the touchscreen to go bonkers. I ended up buying one of these adapters:

Inexpensive, and having two USB ports is very convenient. One goes to my Mugen DZ charging cradle (phone + spare battery), the other to my BT headset. Any standard USB cable will work. It does not cause problems with the touchscreen, so I can continue to use the phone even while it is charging.
The best I've seen on a DZ is about 650 mA net charge, which means an empty 1800 mAh battery should be fully charged in about 3 hours.
I've seen logs of my dz charging at 680-780mA, so long as you have a 1A output charger it should charge the same. The output is the max rated output, not what its feeding to the phone to charge.
On that note most moto chargers I've seen are 700mA max out and same with a lot of samsung chargers I've owned. I use my original that came with my g2 as well as an old htc diamond wall charger with a sony usb cable lol, I get the same charge from both.

Dear all,
I'm wondering if I can use Nokia charger for my Sony Arc S or not as I see its port is the same. I'm asking this because Sony charger cable is too short that sometimes it's hard for me to move the phone. Will it make my battery damage if I keep using it for long time?
Thank for reading my post.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you'll still want to compare the output of the chargers. If the Nokia can't put out what the Sony charger can then it will take longer to charge, or possibly charge it faster, but it will die faster. If it puts out more, it should be ok, but still compare the outputs in mAH to each other.
For example, with older phones, you couldnt charge a motorola razr with a blackberry curve charger because it put out too much power, but you could charge a blackberry curve with a razr charger, and it would charge fast, but also die fast. The old htc phones like 8125, 8525, if completely discharged sometimes would only come back on with an original htc charger, nothing else.
I prefer an OEM charger, but will charge with whatever if that's all that's around.
I have an HTC charger and it works fine,also my wife has a pony Ericson x10 mini which also charges my galaxy s2. You max find it a little slower but test it out. I sometimes found tho using the HTC one overnight for example on occasion would make my phone warm. Try it out tho it shouldn't be an issue.

also, if both chargers break down to usb cords, just use the nokia usb cord with the sony plugin part... its that part that produces the charging power...
By what you all said I have checked the stat of both charger as below:
Nokia: OUTPUT: DC 5V, 550mA
Sony: Output: 5.0V, = (a sign) 850mA
So according to this, if I use Nokia it will take longer than using Sony itself right ?

That's a significantly weaker charger... Yea, itll most likely take longer to charge the phone, but certainly not damage it in any way...
Thanks for all the helpful posts. I have idea about it now
Hello,
my battery charger stopped working and i need a new one. I read a few review and i'm a bit confuesd, not every chargers with the capability to deliver 1000mAh works with every device. So which one oft them works with the desire s and delivers 1000mAh and not just 500mAh?
just buy a oem wall charger ,, easily found on ebay and also cheap
does it has any difference between 1000 and 500mah chargers? now i'm using original liveview charger with 500mah on it but also have 1A iPhone charger.

Overheating
im using an old S2 charger i think, its got an output of 5V, 0.7 amps and after flashing a costom rom, jellyfirebean im getting serious overheating issues, but only while charging with the phone on.
however i cant confirm this is the chargers problem yet
just a note, its the phone that heats up not the charger

no the phone never heats up using original wall charger

Double that. Overheating can be only caused by the phone itself, or a defected battery (means it is near death, but for serius heating, you will notice like 1hrs of battery life for the phone).
On another note for the topic. I use 3 type of chargers for my phones:
At home my ASUS tab's one (which is rated 5V 1A at the standard USB, plus the extra for the dock, but it is ASUS specific), at work an old ZTE "dumbphone" charger (which is rated 5V 0.75A, and is a high frequency switching type, so really energy-efficient) and for any other my old SE X8's one, which is 5V 650mA (which is also switching type). Also dedicated charger cables, 1 nokia, 1 SE, 1 HTC and 1 ZTE at my car.
The phone's original 5V 1A is NRFB at the box of the phone, but I have a security backup Samsung charger (rated 5V 500mA and pass-trough type, so not really efficient, but stable) which works just fine. The S is not capable (or not enabled just yet) of fast charge mode AFAIK so no really chance for 500mA or more when charging (even when GPS and 3G on, and screen on max, which is aroung 430mA when I last measued it with a service cable).
reporting back
yeah i can confirm it was the 2 year old htc battery
i am now using 2 anker 1600mah batterys and they last a LOT longer + come with an enternal charger so i always have one charged, it also charges the old htc battery too externally so i can now use 3 battieries mwahahahaa
note i did have to delete battery stats in cwm to recalibrate
I recently bought an Anker battery for my HTC Sensation and I've seen significant improvement in just a short period of time. I want to be able to maintain the battery properly and correctly so it will last a long time. So my question is, what is the proper specification needed for a car charger?
I've read that the car charger must match the battery specs so it doesn't damage it. I bought a generic brand a long time ago while using my stock battery and the car charger never really charged my phone while I was using GPS on it. So I then bought another car charger, but instead it overcharged my phone really fast. I'm not very technically apt in this field regarding voltages, amps, and ultimately battery itself so please tell me the proper car charger to purchase.
I think 5V 1A universal USB car charger will do
