hello,
I have recently bought an htc desire battery charger and an extra battery from ebay , both are suppose to be genuine products.
well, the situation goes like this:
the battery charger charge only my original battery (blinks with a white led)
but doesn't charge the second battery (lights a red led).
however, when I charge the batteries with my phone , both get charged just fine.
I'm not sure if the problem is with the charger or the battery , but I think it's the battery fault.
does the htc C410 battery charger can identify and charge only genuine htc batteries? did some one got that same issue?
is there a way to find out if a battery is genuine or not?
and is there something I can do with the charger so it can charge both batteries ? because right now it's pretty lame....
thx, Nitzan
before i got my galaxy s i used to own the htc desire,
now when i charge the galaxy s with its own charger i never get more than 12 hours of standby and the battery just dies
with the htc desire charger i get more than one day of battery life, actually now after 1d 45min since being unpluged i still got 42% of battery life (with the exact same usage as my everyday usage)
now after checking the output voltage in both i found out that they both output 5volts , but the galaxy s is 0.7 amps, while the desire is 1amp
so do you think that i should keep using the htc desire's charger to charge the galaxy s, or this slight increase in amp can damage the phone.
by the way , i tried 2 different samsung chargers , and they both give me no more than 12 hours of standby time , so i know that i do not have a problem in the charger.
any help will be appreciated
thanks
You are tempting me to buy a htc charger as I am dying to get it past 12 hrs of usage.

I'm in the same situation as you and after charging with HTC charger I got a lot of extra battery life!!
I don't think that the increase in amps could damage the phone or battery
thx for the info i will test this to i'm getting now one day off heavy use with my sgs
report will also follow

The total amount of extra battery life was about 50% for me yesterday. Great!!

Gonna try with my old Diamond's wall charger. 5V 1.0A. Let's see...
oooh! Is it a desire or the desire HD? might buy that charger too!
I didn't even know chargers make a difference? How is it a charger even does that?

For what phone of Desire family is it? Or all of them have the same?
If possible, please tell me the exact code name of adapter
I´ve lost my charger and need new anyway, and this looks like interesting option
Thanks in advance! .)
My Samsung Charger just stopped working and I only have my HTC HD2 charger to use so I haven't got a clue. Just shows how rubbish the Samsung one is though i barely used it as it is and its broken.
This is very peculiar to me.
The charger shouldn't be making a huge difference, but the way I see it, if the charger is output more current to the battery in a faster period of time, it might be charging the battery "more" or over charging, or the samsung undercharging.
The battery life of a phone SHOULD be determined by the mAh rating of the battery. and if both chargers are charging the phone until "100%" then they should not be draining at different rates.
The best way to test this is to get a sustained load and put it on the batteries and see if they match up to the rated mAh ratings. I wish i was still in school so i had access to this stuff so i could test it.
who cares if more amps cause damage, the only damage it will cause is to the battery.
the average battery should last the same as the phone - say 3 - 4 years ??
so if using the HTC charger ruins the battery is 2 - 3 years, who gives a **** lol, aslong as my battery life increases, im happy to buy a replacement charger in 2 - 3 years, BUT by then i would have moved on to another device anyway.
I say if it works, USE IT !!! to hell with the consequences, live life to the max !!
Thanks for sharing this info. I will give it a try with my friend's HTC charger...
Just to add to this.
USB outputs 5v +- 10% & between 500-900mA so if you charge via USB this would have the same effect would it not?
thanks alferret for that info , i really wanted to know that, so now i guess there's no harm in using the htc charger,
i am using it now as my phone charger , and i am getting no problem so far
thanks
Guys if your charger breaks the problem might be the chargers plug or mini usb (iv bought a cheap charger and it was charging but i could not use the phone literally i thought iv burned the screen)iv opened up mine and one of the wires(mine was the black one)was detached try opening with something sharp its really easy to do
just try it those cables detach really easy
Or if your really lazy buy one if you wanna
Funnily enough, yesterday at work I used a Sony Ericsson charger, just top up my phone a bit. Went from 80 to 100 percent in virtually no time.
Strange. I will check my chargers at home
Mine too , after one month and i`m using an LG charger

On Motorola and HTC phones (maybe others as well), chargers are a Micro USB cable with a USB adapter. I wish Samsung would do the same. Much more eco-friendly.
Thanks for the info. I will give it a try with my wife HTC charger.

Hi,
not sure if anyone else uses this site! but it is nothing short of AMAZING!
they sell everything! CHEAP! with free delivery around the world also...
I love dealextreme :d
bought this one this summer for my Desire Z ... works perfectly but the charging time is not so great...
Genuine Micro-USB HTC charger delivers ~750mA
this one frome DX delivers only 250-300mA when the Desire Z is docked
you think a g2 with a mugen 3600mah would fit inside? looks close...
nope ... because the bigger battery cover it won't fit on the cradle

Also the angle is very close to 90 degrees so kinda hard to view if your tall.

My DZ charger says 1A on it.
1A is the max output the charger can deliver it's not the power he will deliver all the time...
if you install the widget app "BatteryMonitor" from the market you will see how much power your phone use when it's on charge.
Is it true that different chargers will affect battery life? I mean once we charge it to 100%, shouldn't the battery discharge at the same rate under the same usage even though we use a different charger to charge it up?

the only thing I have noticed that affects battery life is that deep discharging the battery (below 20%) causes early battery death - I have learned this the hard way!
Aww dang, I have the habit of running my battery till the red before charging it. Guess I gotta change my habit. LOL!
Hey people, I just try my oem HTC m8 charger on my t-mobile Sony z3 via magnetic charging port and I swear it charging my phone at least double or three the rate then if I use the Sony oem it came with..
I also left it on stamina mode while charging the port..
Has anyone else try this?

Isn't the charger on the M8 1.5amps? The same as the charger on the Z3.
I have both, so I suppose I could use the M8 charger tonight and see...
You are probably right on the spec but I just don't know if it's a placebo effect but I figured I ask.. Also if I am right this would make this Phone so much sweeter than it already is..
I know it's supposed to charger faster by using the magnetic port but it seems faster using my HTC m8 charger instead of my Sony oem..
I figured I share see what you guys said

Please let us know how this goes, if it is true, I will probably end up ordering the M8 charger tonight.
i got a 2.1amp samsung tab 8.4 charger with original cable, and it seems the speed of Charging goes faster than stock charger, however i woke up twice wont my battery stuck at 99% charge and it never went to 100 so stopped using it
I've got an Anker dual port charger that has a 2.0amp and 1.5 amp ports on it that I use at work.
Although, the only time I ever charge my phone is at night... And considering charging a battery slower is generally better, I wouldn't be switching to a faster charger for my uses.
Unless I was in a hurry and *needed* the extra 15% a 'quick' charger would give me.

Samsung tablet chargers are interesting. They will actually increase voltage slightly as current draw increases to compensate for cable losses.
End result is Samsung tablet chargers often charge faster than others, sometimes significantly faster.
Thought I'd give my thoughts on the Qualcomm Quick Charger 2.0.
Just received the HTC One M9 yesterday.
After a full charge with the stock charger, I had it running for 13 hours without charging.
Woke up this morning and noticed that it had dropped to 34% so I decided to try the Qualcomm Quick Charger 2.0.
Wow! Impressed how fast it went to 100%! Actually I had my doubts about it going 60% in 30 minutes, but it does seem legit.
In my opinion, it is worth well purchasing, specially if you suddenly find yourself with no power left and in need of charging it fast!

Should mention that it dropped to 34% due to heavy usage. Its actually quite good in my opinion, keeping power compared to my old HTC One M7

I got the CHOE brand Quick charge and it is indeed very impressive. What Ticks me off is that's the charger that should have been in the box with the M9. That's poor of HTC to flaunt a much better charger on their website after shipping out the normal ones to their loyal customers.

I don't have the M9, but from unboxing videos it looks like HTC included the Quick Charge 1.0 charger with the phone. Looks very similar to the one that came with the M8. But I agree, with the M9, HTC had NO excuse not to include a Quick Charge 2.0 charger.
I was wondering if you guys knows if the actual charger of my Nexus 6, could be compatible with the HTC One M9 ?
As it's not included in the M9's Box... If i can keep my actual one, that'll be great !
I've bought this charger too, very happy with it! Charged +88% in 68 minutes

How long it takes to charge from 0~100 ? less than 2 hours ?
My phone said 5 more minutes till full charge when I unplugged it and made the screenshot in the previous post, so I guess full charge from 0 to 100% will take less then one and a half hour. I'll give it a try soon.

Why would you let your phone get to zero? That's just plain dumb
I was so impressed that I ordered another one for work .

No , just to know if there worth difference before buy it
Just so everyone knows, fast charging a Lithium batter would work best going from 0 to 70-80% any more than that the battery charges really slow, that's just how chargers are designed for lithium tech.
Example, from 0% if the charger is giving out 2Amps, then as soon as it reaches a high point of 80% the power output goes down from 2Amps to around 1Amp, and so on it keeps declining as the battery get higher.
Does this work with any good quality micro USB cable?
Quick Charge with Verizon phone?
Has anyone with a VZW M9 had any great success with a quick charger? And if so, what have you used?
I have the Tenergy Fast Charger, and it is faster than the charger that came with the phone, but it's definitely not super fast. We're talking just slightly over 1% per minute.
This makes me wonder if Verizon has somehow limited quick charging with this phone such that any charger I try is going to be met with limited success or if I should indeed try a different charger.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the fast speed? I have a T-Mobile variant and it seems to be only getting about 1% per minute as well. At 60% charge, it estimates that there is about 50-60 minutes remaining to completion.

I have the same one and it will fully charge the phone it a little over an hour. They are quite a bit faster than the stock charger.

Same here, with both Samsung adaptive fast charger and Motorola quick charger from a nexus 6. No idea why, but after using an s6 that charged extremely quickly, it's a little confusing.
I wonder if some of the carrier variants that received the update had the QuickCharge 2.0 functionality disabled. I've tried the Aukey, Anker, Getwow and Onite chargers and they all are not charging at the rated spec.
Quick charge is neat, but it's also destructive for the battery. 95% of the time my phone is only on charge over night, so no need for speed there. I'd rather it have the regular charger for the overnight charge, and maybe having a quick charger for on the go situations.
