Survey - Cradle Charger that works

Hi,
For the benefit of others who are planning on getting a Cradle:
Was wondering if any of you have purchased any aftermarket HTC-Universal Cradle Charger that works or don't work?
I'll start off first:
Bought from this seller on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-cradle-char...060768QQihZ016QQcategoryZ146435QQcmdZViewItem
Cradle is not the same as pic. He sent this one instead:
http://www.suntekstore.com/usb-sync...9000---dopod-900.html?pkw=dopod&kw=cradle&pn=
Cradle AC Adaptor does NOT work (does not charge when PC is off).
Cradle USB Cable does work (USB cable is not removable).
Mine is exactly the same you received (second link), it works perfectly, just as stated.

Which make of HTC-Universal do you have? I wonder if it makes a difference.
Maybe I just got a lemon.
So far me this other fella in the thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282983
are having the same problem where it does not charge via AC adapter but charges via USB.
That's really odd.
Hey modem, been looking at other posts regarding batteries and charging problems in general and there had been a suggestion that it could be hardware revision issues. When did you buy yours? I got min dec05

Mine is a german T Mobile, with the Rom changed to T Mobile UK.
I can tell you that the charging base's power supply does make a little buzzing sound whenever i plug the PDA to charge, it surely is a not so good product, reason is simple, even if I don't plug the power supply to the mains, the led on it glows, this means that the USB voltage is going through the base and arriving to the power supply, this means that whoever has the higher voltage between the computer's USB port and the base's power supply is driving the other; yet this is an easy to fix problem, a diode at the power supply's output should suffice.
Verify your chargers, voltage and load capability, if you want some help and/or advice, I'm here.

Charging an iPAQ h5150 Battery

Hello
I have an iPAQ h5150 that has a damaged connector so I can't plug it in to charge it. It works OK otherwise. I have the charger with the male post connector and would like to solder in some wires and a female connector (e.g. from Radio Shack) just so I can charge it. Does anyone have information of how I can wire this thing up to do this. Alternatively, does anyone know how to charge the battery externally? There's 5 pins on the Battery that connects to the iPAQ, and I would like to know how I can apply the charger's output to the battery to charge it up. ANy schematic diagram availble would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
Is the charger terminals on the cradle damaged, or the slot in the Ipaq itself?
You can buy charging tips that fit this model on ebay for about $9.00, that slide over the barrel plug on the ac adapter. If the charging slot is ok you could charge that way.

Angled Power Connector. Where to get one

Anyone know where to find angled power connector. I been search from forum to forum. Could not able to find one right/left angled power connector.

Something like this

Bump and another question
Anyone know what is the 2 gold connected beside the charger ?
The two gold contacts on the bottom of the Xoom are the charging points that the docking stations use to charge the Xoom.
I've been wondering the same thing. I'd love to use my stand and charge at the same time.

Yes, PLEASE. Anyone locate an L shaped or elbow shaped charging tip?
anyone know where to find a right angle / 90 degree charging adapter?
Im trying to find a charger which isnt that big as the original one. and i would prefer a angled as well.
Bump. TIred of the cable getting in my way when I have it angled on my lap. I really wish the charger port was on the side.
Many "universal" power adapters (with the different sized attachable tips and the adjustable voltage on the transformer) are already angled. I'm using one for a media player in my living room but I can't find the other tips!

If anyone knows what the official name or measurement of the tiny tip that plugs into the xoom is it would be a great start to searching ebay for a generic adapter. The stock motorola xoom adapter outputs 12V @ 1.5 Amps, the one I linked to is only 1.2 Amps so probably wont charge the xoom very well, and unfortunately I'm pretty sure this is the one I have at home.
EDIT:
Code:
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=120-150
Rated at 1.7 Amps, this should work just fine as going higher in amps is harmless. The question however is if one of those tips will fit...
For what it's worth, I'm using a 12v 1.2A power adaptor I had knocking around with a 'large-DC-jack-to-Xoom plug' adaptor I bought on ebay. It seems to work and charge fine. Sadly it's a straight lead though.

HDMI adapter with external battery

As we know by now, the HDMI adapter needs a power source to be connected for it to work. What I would be interested in knowing is, instead of plugging in the charger could we use an external battery? If anyone with the adapter and an external battery could try this out, it would be greatly appreciated.
In theory this should work but if the external battery doesn't have an output of 2A, one of those charging cables from ebay might be needed.
As nobody seems willing to test this out, I bought an external battery that uses four AA batteries and has an output of 1A. I'm happy to report that using an external battery with the HDMI adapter works just fine! No need to plug in the tab in the wall charger anymore when I want to use HDMI out.
Nice, does it charge the tablet also or is it just powering the hdmi connector?

The tab did show that it was charging but I think I might need to return the battery, because the manual inside the package stated that it shouldn't be used to charge an iPad (same kind of power requirement) and it did get quite warm when it was plugged in. But at least I got confirmation that an external battery can indeed be used.
Thanks for testing this out. Will be valuable information when I consider buying the HDMI adapter.
oops. i meant to post this in a different thread. too many tabs open.
