Re: Anyone having issues using aftermarket wall chargers with the EVo?
 

human here. (not a droid yet) but if this was WM I would say to go to the Notifications tab in .dotfred and disable any referring to rs232 or rndis.

what is happening is the phone is attempting to establish communication thru the usb, but since it can't it shuts down or ends up in a loop.

Re: Anyone having issues using aftermarket wall chargers with the EVo?
 

I found that if you turn the device off, it actually charges with an aftermarket charger or the Plantronics micro USB charger. There must be something in the OS that identifies non-PC or non-HTC chargers. I'mma root this bitch. I heard that Titanium backup can restore apps to new ROMs.

Love my EVO. Windows Mobile is a failure. iPhone is still a superior device.

i bought 2 of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...RK:MEWAX:IT://

my motorola ic502 wall and car charger work fine using the adapters.

also 2 generic ebay wall chargers i have both work using the adapters too.

EDIT: ok i see why there .99 the micro usb connector already tore away from the cord! P.O.S. (but hey it worked like a champ before that) my fault for yanking on the cord instead of the connector

A few of the Generic Nexus One chargers, initially display charging, discharging and then nothing at all with in 20-30 secs of plugging it to the phone.

It must have something to do with the pin configuration. If i take the cable that came with the phone and plug it into generic "USB" type call/car charger, it works just fine..

Same would be the reason for the phone lagging when you plug in other generic chargers, perhaps it has the data pins in and the phone thinks it's trying to sync to a PC.

EDIT: I used a Blackberry Charger and it's data cable, both worked, no problems.

I've had the same issues with mine too.

Re: Anyone having issues using aftermarket wall chargers with the EVo?
 

I read about this a couple days ago here as I was trying to use the charger from my Plantronics headset

Re: Anyone having issues using aftermarket wall chargers with the EVo?
 

I am not willing to shut down my phone to charge it. I will just use good cables or adapters. The rocket fish adapter from BBY works fine FYI.

By chance what ma and voltage rating are these adapters you're using. The stock one is 1000ma at 5v. If you're going to spend $30 might as well buy the sprint travel charger that has a built in battery. It's $39.99 but with a premier discount its 29.99. I almost forgot to say this is the charger I'm using and it works as good as stock.

Re: Anyone having issues using aftermarket wall chargers with the EVo?
 

I definitely wasn't implying that anyone should turn off their EVO to charge it. I can't get enough of mine. It just proves that it's not a particular pinout.

In fact, I just rooted my bitch and ran dmesg under several scenarios:

unplugged
plugged into USB on computer
plugged into HTC stock USB to AC charger
plugged into Plantronics AC charger
Plugged into HTC stock USB to AC charger from TouchPro

The Android clearly runs a process to identify the manufacturer of the charger:

"Get USB ID PIN, mfg_df_serialno: 0000000000, usb_switch_dummy_serial_num_by_GPIO,usb_id_pin_gpi o 37

usb: mfg_USB_ID_pin_status: 1, ID_Pin 1:1,usb_switch_dummy_serial_num_by_GPIO
usb: suspend
usb: not AC charger."


But when the stock charger is plugged in:

"usb: AC charger"

It even instructs it to slow charge under certain circumstances.


Please. Someone hack the crap out of this.

I bought 2 6' belkin usb to microusb cables. I have one in the stock usb/ac adapter HTC provided with the Evo (for home), and the other is plugged in to the stock usb/ac adapter HTC provided with the sprint Hero (for work). Both charge without issue.
