Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
It's because some pins are revered, right?

I guess that applies to the versacharger too - damn.

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

I am guessing it is the output rate for the different chargers.

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

Certain pins need to be grounded for it see whatever's plugged in as a charger and to actually charge at 1A. http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/...tor_pin_config

There's a hack in nueROM-S 184 and up to bypass that,but you have to be careful not to blow out your USB charger/port when doing it. http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pos...ond_C-171.aspx

Yes, my phone charges very slow whenever I try to use my friends' blackberry and motorola chargers. It also charges slow when I use USB wires too. I think its just the different output rates for the different charges. I know for a fact that my friend's motorola can't charge with my charger because it says 'incompatible charger' or something of that sort.

Will 6700 or 6800 chargers work on the TP? They didn't change anything radical? (I wouldn't think so)

I always used the USB port to charge my 6700 so I never noticed!

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

I actually misplaced/lost my 6800 charger and now use my 6700 charger for my mogul. I figured since the 6700 charger looked exactly the same and had the same specs it would work similarly, and in fact they do. When I had both I used to just switch off between the two all the time and didn't notice a change in charge times.

not true at all, I use my tomtom's usb charger, 2000mAh and it works great

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

The 6700/6800 chargers work fine for full speed charging. I used my Mogul's charger before I sold it to someone.
If you know your charger can deliver more than 500mA but the phone won't charge faster since it's not extUSB, install nueROM-S (or cook your own ROM with his battery driver), then enable FastCharge. :P

deviant.ones, install nuePower and look at the charge amps. It'll almost certainly be ~500mA.

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

The OEM Touch Pro charger (for the home) has an output of 5 volts and 1 amp. You need to look at the other charger and verify that the other device has an output of 5 volts or you will trash your device. In order for it to charge in a reasonable time frame you would like it to produce at least 1 amp, more is okay, as long as you do not exceed the 5 volt rating. If it only produces less than 1 amp your charging time will be longer.

I already have nuepower and like i said, 2000mah

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

You know, I was thinking the same thing yesterday while I was at work. I work for Sprint and just grabbed any Mini USB Charger (Motorola) and it took a good 4 hours to charge and I don't even think it was full. I got in my car and charged it though and it was full in no time. I say always use the chargers that come with the phone...

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

I've not had any trouble using my car adapter or my Mogul's adapter to charge my Touch Pro.

That said, I *KNOW* that Motorola Q9* phones can detect the type of adapter they use and will refuse to charge with a non-Motorola adapter, so my guess is those chargers are pinned differently than some which is why you might have trouble with them.

But just a generic cable/adapter should be fine.

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

Any generic cable for usb charging in your car on DC voltage should work, provided it does not have a regulator inline for a proprietary device. Any proprietary charger at home should be scrutinized as I noted in my earlier post. I have found motrorola and blackberry chargers do not afford the proper amps to charge the device.

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

link for a usb charger that's cheap?

Re: Is it true HTC devices dont charge as fast when using non-oem chargers?
 

I have a few questions about your 2000mAH charger.

Does your 2000mAH charger charge your Touch Pro twice as fast? Also does the phone get really hot when you’re charging it?

Would using this charger long term shorten the life of the battery?

Can you use the phone while it is charging? If so does it heat up and stop charging very quickly?

Thanks for any feedback you can give.
