[Q] Fake Chinese HTC Charger?

Hi,
I wanted to share a photo of probably fake HTC charger:

Could anyone show me how original looks like ? Because this one above makes really nasty touch screen interference on my i9000

I too have got this charger, I got it from amazon and this is I think the 4th item I have got from them that I suspect to be counterfeit. Mine gets really hot and smells like the components are burning inside. I do have a original charger the same style but I'm reluctant to take it apart, I can confirm that it is very different looking, also the plug section should twist to come of and be replaced by euro or US adapers I suspect. I also get unresponsive touch screen while charging too.

Sorry for posting in such an old thread. I have a very similar fake charger. Mine was marked "For Samsung", despite being an imitation of an HTC charger. I'm also having problems with it (calls end unexpectedly while charging and music stops playing after a few seconds).
Can you show the rear of your charger's PCB, please?
Thanks in advance.

Quite impressed. Using a cheap generic mHDMI to VGA adaptor, works like a charm...

Could you share a link to the one you bought or tell me where you got it?

EBay or amazon - any standard micro HDMI to VGA adapter will work. Or a mHDMI to full size HDMI if your tv or monitor has one.
Fun fact - the official mHDMI spec requires a flat surface where it plugs in. It's angled on the Surface so they can't officially call it one...!

Ha! I was wondering why they said it wasn't actually a compatible uHDMI. That's silly...
Not entirely sure that this topic was worth its own thread - people have already shown it elsewhere on the forum - but your "fun fact" is both amusing and informative, as I had held off buying a microHDMI adapter until I knew why they said it wasn't a standard one despite appearing the same.

Looking for a dock with reverse micro usb for N9

Hi all,
I'm looking for a dock for my Nexus 9. Ideally, I want something that will not make it top heavy, that by giving it a little tap on top will make it fall. I also would like a integrated reversible charger so I can put my Nexus 9 on the dock facing me. I would settle for just a dock with no USB but enough space between the port and bottom so I can fit the USB cable without it bent bent 90 degrees. I looked around the forum and saw only 1 thread about docks, and all of them were not good enough, either because they had an attached USB cable that had the port facing the wrong way, or they were luxury docks made out of aircraft grade aluminum and no space for USB cable.
I'm sure somebody has looked for this, if you know any products that fit my need, please post links.
Right now i'm using this metal this i've had for years, it works but there is not enough space for my cable

Something like this would be perfect if it were just a little bit wider. It seems to me like the center of gravity would be quite high and the tablet might fall over

Compact USB-C to MicroUSB adapter. Solving the compatibility problem.

I have several popular amazon brand adapters but the problem is they're too thick. I carry one in my wallet but some how I lost it after just a few days. I've been on a mission to find the adapter that I can easily carry in my wallet but not easily disappear. I don't want to keep paying for something that I only use once in a while. Most adapters on Amazon go for $3-$5, not cheap for a tiny adapter. We know those have the pull up resistor and are safe to use.
Someone left a good review for this ebay adapter from seller goodtops165 (IDK about the similar adapter from other sellers, they all look the same) so I give it a shot. It costs $1.38, 2 weeks to ship.
The adapter passes CheckR test and it behaves like other USB-C to MicroUSB adapters that I have. It comes with a sleeve and it's is slimmer than others. :good:

Very much reminds me of the OnePlus adapter with the red case and all.
Does this one allow OTG adapters to work?

I got one!

For a couple of bucks worth it to keep 1 or 2 of these on hand.

[Review] Anker PowerPort Speed 1 Wall Charger

TLDR: I recommend this charger if you have other USB Type-C devices that require power delivery to charge, such as the new MacBook. It works great with the Nexus 6P, but is much more powerful than needed.
The stock Nexus 6P charger is potentially dangerous, and I wanted to get a different charger for it to minimize risk (I just got motherboard with USB-C and I'm prone to stupid mistakes). I've had good luck with Anker products in the past, so I had high expectations for the PowerPort Speed 1.
It met all the expectations! The build quality is excellent, Anker finally got rid of their gross glossy finish and made it matte as it should be. The blue light on the front is also much nicer than their previous chargers with bright green lights. The blue glow is bright enough to see, but not bright enough to light up a room at night. It also doesn't suffer from the same issues that the stock charger has, the picture below shows it not giving any power to a USB-A charger I have with a bright light on the front.

I recommend it a lot, but it is fairly expensive. Here's a link to the Amazon page.
