hi everyone...
just wanna know is there any desktop charger for o2 xda exec?
If you have a look at the O2 micro site, they sell a decent desktop charger, probably quite expensive though, or of course, have a hunt on eBay.... personally I'd stick with O2.
Link to O2 micro site.... http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecAcc.html
eBay (just example).... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRADLE-O2-XDA...104937525QQcategoryZ56166QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Hope it helps.
Also, might interest you, I just ordered a simple battery charger off a guy on eBay, only for the battery so if you got spares you can charge them separately. The guy's called lifestyle0806, has been selling for over 2 years and has 96.6% positive. I was recommended him by a guy on this site. Should receive the item today, will let you know if it's any good if you're interested.

I am using this charger from lifestyle for the last 2 months. It is definately worth the money. Even the battery which comes with it is of good quality and does not have any of the problems some spare batteries seem to have.

I couldn't believe how cheap it was... I paid $18 for the battery AND charger with postage included!!! That's just crazy! Well worth it, I would say to anyone who travels a lot and has a spare few batteries they need charged up.

Is it an external charger like this one (which you have to plugin to normal mini-USB charger or computer USB port to get the power)?
Maybe I got a bad unit because it just won't charge the battery - battery is ok though =) However, on the back it reads "INPUT 5V = 2A", but normal USB chargers only output 5V and 1A... So a working unit should be fine with 1A?
I got pretty much the same unit with extended battery from the other guy on ebay.. digispeak ...
Battery seems to be of the decent quality, still testing how long it will last after few charging cycles..
However, I'm not quite as happy with desktop charger. It seems to cut off charging when battery reaches about 90%. Any clues and experiences?

I am not a big fan of extra batteries. The idea of doing a battery pull and replace another is not pleasing.
I got a rechargeable charger at Best Buy, an Energizer charger for $19.99. Provides 6 hours of talk time. They also have a $39.99 charger for 12 hours of talk time.
I find this to be a great alternative for extra batteries.

Those are certainly good options which don't require you to reboot or buy a charger to charge your batteries. Luckily the Evo boots much quicker than the Pre.

I picked up a 5,000 mAh dual USB charger at Costco for $15. I don't know why it was so cheap (it will completely charge my phone ~3 times). It was a few months ago so YMMV.
any idea who makes this? I have a 2000 mAh one, but would like a bigger one.

that 8800mAh one is kick ass.
lol but i'll settle with my Energizer one. Used my Best Buy gift card when I pre-ordered the Evo.
But these are definitely better than extra batteries IMHO.
Is there any place that has these things(either the 5000 or 8800 maH) in a store like best buy or something because I'm not a fan of buying off the internet

I'm sure you can find one somewhere. Just not the Trent Imax brand most likely. You can get energizer ones at BB.
i know i went to best buy and looked at the energizer 2000 maH one for 39.99 but for anyone that has it how much does it recharge your battery? because when i had my G1 the porrtable charger only filled it up about 30%(im talking about the portable charger sold at t-mobile)
I bought the IMP880 portable charger, 8900 mAh. I like it, although I haven't really used it much yet. But it should in theory be able to charge my phone about 5 times. It's not very big, or to heavy (to me) but it does have some heft. I wear cargo pants, so I just keep it in a pocket with me where ever I go.

It would charge it a little over 1 time. How come you don't buy things online? Generally you pay about 40% extra at stores.

does the IMP880 come with a microUSB adapter as part of the original package or is that something that has to be bought separately off New Trent's website?

Aw crap, I wrote up a reply to this earlier today on my phone, and then before I submitted it I did something, and my internet task got killed forgot about it. Yes it does come with a microUSB adapter (as well as a miniUSB and a USB splitter, and some proprietary thingy). There are 2 outputs (USB and D/C out) and one input (D/C in for charging). There's one hard button, for power or to check the power level (have to hold down on the power buttron for 4 seconds to turn it on/off), and 4 tiered power LEDs for power level.
There's a USB cable that comes with the charger is a special one that the other end is a female plug and the micro, mini, and proprietary adapter things are male, and so are interchangeable with the cord that comes with the charger, although the data cable that comes with the phone will work, and mine is actually longer than the cable that came with the phone (if that matters)

Sadly added this to my Amazon cart last week when it was $33. It went up to $43 in a couple days and I unfortunately pulled the trigger at the higher price. Looking forward to getting this in the mail today. I'll monitor the price over the next couple of weeks so I could hopefully request a credit from Amazon.
This is what i use http://store.goal0.com/index.php?p=product&id=12 , may be a little overkill but it gets the job done, I can charge my phone almost 50 times from empty to full... its also great for laptops, and small microwaves(j/k) kinda pricey but well worth it if you find yourself in the middle at the bottom of the grand canyon a lot, or the middle of the Atlantic ocean....

I have one of the energizer ones, It never does a "Full" charge to the phone, it tops it off to about 60-70% and then when the phone dies some more, it will have a little more juice to give the phone. Not exactly as advertised, but I keep it in the car for an emergency battery so it works great for that, and for note I dont have the 19.99 energizer one I have the bigger more expensive one. Also, they are put together worse then most remotes, I split mine within a week from just dropping it into the door pocket of the car.

I don't know if it has been discontinued or what - it's not easy to find online. $46.99 is also much more than what I spent.
This one looks awesome though: http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-IMP880-External-Battery/dp/B002YFDRHW

It doesn't hold that much power, but it's cheap and convenient. Enough for one charge, or somewhere close to it. I also have a little mini to micro USB adapter, as the charger itself has a mini port.

Found this guys store after a lot of searching.
You get a retractable usb which you can use to charge your evo through a computer, or included AC wall charger, or included car charger!
The deal is phenomenal but the downside is its shipping from hk.
Also I can't comment on quality of build until I receive it (ships today)
Pics look good though so let's see!
Almost forgot. 12 month warranty.

Not bad, looks like a dealextreme open box item. Deals are great and all but I don't want to trust a $1 item to control the flow of electricity to my phone.
Let us know how it works out.
I didn't either, at first..
I'll let you in on a little secret, I think that whoever makes amzer's accessories makes these too.
Notice the similarity?
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-2-in-1-U-S-Travel-Charger-Kit-P85522.htm
Exactly the same, except a blue LED instead of red..
Something to think about.
I'll keep everybody informed when it arrives =)
Just thought I'd add my .02, I ordered 2 sets of charging accessories for our 2 EVO's from a US seller on eBay. When they arrived the AC chargers would not charge the phones so you might want to be careful there's something about the charging requirements for the EVO that will not allow just any AC charger work with it. The car chargers seem to work fine, so far.

In that case I threaten to leave bad feedback, get a refund, and give it to someone else.
No harm done
Besides for 3.90something it's really not a big deal
Those things are fuggly
Those look really similar to these http://www.amazon.com/Premium-iPhon...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278911609&sr=8-18
I bought this, and they can't charge my phone when it's on... hell I'm not even sure while it's off. It can't charge my iPhone, or my evo.
I think it's the same product.
Just recieved the stuff today (monday)
I was pleasantly surprised.
Build quality is good but not great.
Charges phone quite well!
Using ac I got from approx 96% to full in about 7 minutes.
First thing I did was check the output compared tothe stock charger.
Both are 1A or 1000mA max.
Ill do further tests later.
For now though everything has worked as expected or better.
To me it was a bargain and a good purchase ymmv..
EDIT: While turned off it charged from 15% to full in 2hrs and 40min.
About the same as stock charger, i'd say.
Look...I'm not rich, I'm a college student and I get payed part time. I need to go cheap and for that we look to ebay. Two things i need are batteries, and a usb car charger (a charger that can do all usb stuff).
Are these safe buys?
1000mAh Usb Car Charger
2 x 1600mAh batteries plus charger
I am aware those Touch Pro 2 batteries, but if they work then why should i care? Also is 1000mAh enough to charge the evo if i were saying playing music on mp3 or pandora? If not, can anyone recommend a good USB charger? I want to be able to charge my zune, psp and etc.
Should be fine with those. Just beware about the battery. Not sure if those batteries are legit HTC ones, because the fake HTC batteries tend not to perform as the say.
Here is a site that tested multiple tp2/n1/evo batteries.
http://www.batteryboss.org/
Thank you for your reply, but when i go click the website my browser says "unable to connect". Any reason why?
*update works*, I don't see the batteries I'm buying on the list...
lol, if you look at the picture of the batteries, they say 1500mAh on them, but the seller has blurred it out a bit.. AFAIK HTC doesnt make a 1600mAh TP2 battery. I have some fake black TP2 HTC batteries that I got from eBay that say 1500mAh on them but have a part number for the 1100mAh batteries! They last about as long as an 1100 would too.... If you want a real OEM 1500 HTC battery thats cheap, this is the listing you want: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...=230439043798&ff4=263602_263622#ht_1817wt_908
Also 1a is the most power an EVO will draw when charging, so that charger should be fine. Assuming it really is 1a and has the center pins grounded. I've ordered 3 1a chargers from eBay and 2 of them didn't have the center pins grounded-- so the EVO thinks its plugged into a computers USB port and only pulls .5a. I had to crack em up open and solder the center pins, something I wouldn't recommend most people trying. Here is a 2a charger that I can personally verify will charge your EVO at max speed: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Car-Charger...le-Nexus-One-/170523433174?pt=PDA_Accessories
I bought 4 of those 1500mah batteries & I've only received 2 of them thus far. One of them is on par with my EVO stock battery, the other . . . not so much.
There is an ebay seller....
named tuttoit selling 2 1500 batteries and a charger for 9.96 delivered. They have sold over 6700 of them. Tons of Evo owners in the feedback which is 99%.
I got mine today and I'm totally satisfied. Great deal! Performance on par with Stock on my phone.
i still have my extra oem hero battery so i havent needed to get a backup but i've seen them for as low as $25 and i went with the palm oem car charger at it is a 1000 mAh charger and everything else i found was only 500 mAh, i've had bad experience with $5 chargers, they always break 6-12 months later while oem ones work 5 years later, still using my htc chargers when i had my original kaiser.

Yes I agree! I bought from him as well, great batteries and the charger works great as well! a steal at 10 dollars shipped, batteried aren't AS good as the stock, but NEARLY. Here is a link, just click on his name and then his other products, should have multiple available:

The batteries you posted look a bit shady, at least with the guy i linked you, you have dozens of people who will account to you that they are good batteries. As for the car lighter charger, i would say go for it, but it doesn't come with a cord...so...yeah... Looks more legit than the other guy.
The Nitro battery is model number BL-49kh. Not many cheap OEM options out there right now, but an "official" spare can be purchased from AT&T store:

And if you have a tablet or wanna go ultra crazy in charging your battery n burning it U can use something like this:

For those of you who are getting an external battery charger, will you let me know if it manages to charge the batteries to 100%? I currently use a universal battery charger, which worked great for my other phone batteries (would charge them quickly and fully, so when I popped them into my phone, it showed 100%), but for whatever reason, when I try to externally charge my Nitro's battery, no matter how long I leave it or put it back on the charger, it will only reach 88% or so. Then I have to fill up the rest by putting the battery in the phone and charging through USB. I know it's not my battery (I have two, and they both do it), so I'm just curious if other external battery chargers might be better. Let me know if it works for you! If it does I'll get whatever kind you have. I'd be super grateful, thanks!
I'm getting a legit LG battery charger specifically for the nitro. It'll take me about 2 weeks to get it (coming from LG itself in Korea) but when it gets here I'll try it n will let u know how it goes.

I ordered 1 extra battery AND the battery/batterycharger/cable from the ebay seller I mentioned earlier.
The batteries seem legit, they last just as long and have identical plastic casings. However, the two batteries I bought from ebay have a different sticker/label on them. They do not have the "FCC" markings on them or any other american legalese on them.
As far as the charger goes, it works great. I carry a battery in my wallet, one in the phone, and one in my backpack. I really like the peace of mind!
I also got mine from that Ebay seller. I'm confident it's legit. The build is identical, and it maintains charge and behaves exactly the same as the one that came with my phone. It's just probably the battery for the Asian Optimus lte, hence no fcc and different labeling. I'm not worried, and I'm pretty careful about batteries.
@red solo cup, do you know if the charger manages to bring the battery to 100%, ie, when you pop it in the phone and turn it on, do the battery stats actually say 100? My current charger brings it to around 90%, which is not bad, but if I'm going to buy another charger, I'd like it to max out the battery completely =) Thanks!
I have not checked Battery Monitor Widget immediately after putting in the battery, so I cannot absolutely confirm that the battery charges to 100%. However, I have noticed that the battery in the notification area was completely full, including the little "nub" on the left of it.
I will check this out when I get back from work tonight.
If the nub's full, it's at least at 95% I'm pretty sure.
Damn, I don't mind getting it from him, but he posted that it will take almost 20 days to a month for the item to get to me! That's frigging much too long for shipping something overseas. Things I get in China or HK doesn't even go beyond 2 weeks the longest.

@aquariuz: I really cannot recall how long shipping took as I ordered the battery on the 15, and the battery+charger on the 21st. I was away for the holidays, but by the time I got back to my place on the 28th they were both in my mailbox.
You're the best! Thanks a bunch! Ordering mine ASAP! =)
24v input
Has anyone found any dual USB (2.1a and 1a) with 12 - 24v input? I run crane and sadly in most of our cranes the Cig Lighter socket is running 24v.
I have a few 12 - 24v input single USB chargers with 1amp out but.. I'd love to find a dual. I have to run my speakers and charge my phone or mp3/RADIO -- seeing as how Optimus doesn't have a FM tuner

I found this on amazon. The specifications specifically state: "Input: 12-24V DC; Output: 5.0V DC 2.1Amp" Plus it is only 5.99+free shipping.
I have this and the specs on kensington's website state "Input: 10V-18VDC, Output (30pin/USB): 5VDC-3100mA.", So I assume that will not work.
so if i have to buy a car charger, what is the MAX specs i can use for the LG OPTIMUS LTE?
What is truly worth the money? There are so many posts on batteries and people dont seem to be able to tell whats good and whats not...
Also what is a good place to get a 100% working DATA cable like the one that came with the phone. Mine stopped working.

I use the usb cable that came with my wife's LG Optimus - works great!
I didn't want to risk a no-name cheap extended battery off of eBay, so I ended up paying full price for my Sprint 2600maH and it's worked well. My brother grabbed a cheap one off Amazon and didn't have any problems with his though, but his doesn't last quite as long.
Thanx for replies I pmd you. Also where can I get a cable? mine is messed up!
You can get a cable almost any where that sell computers I have seen them at Staples Walmart almost any whre.

sprint store, amazon, ebay, radio shack. you get what you pay for. cheap is not better. get a good cable and you'll get better data rate, better charge, and a happier phone.

Completely untrue. Buy any cheap cable. You won't notice any difference. Gild plating, shielding, wrapping...it's all just good marketing.
Just find one on monoprice or ebay. If you spend more the cable may ladt longer but its not gonna make your transfers and charging faster.

Cheap can be great. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
They have them in other lengths too. The 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core ones are better than the thinner ones (28/28) they have though, particularly if you want a longer length. I found they sometimes had trouble charging at 1A (when paired with a 1A charger), but even they get the job done, if a little slower on the charging. The 28/24 ones work great -- I have a 15 footer.
So far the most reliable and reputable brand i came across on forums is Mugen Power brand, you can check their fan base on facebook yourself, and read some user comments there. Or ask questions.

It is a pretty strong community for such a product as batteries, and apparently their customer support is very good, they exchange stuff if there are any problems etc. FYI: on facebook they also give out discount codes.
And i read some of their higher capacity extended batteries make phones last at least 3+ days with excesive use. The record i came across was 85 hours from 4800mAh battery with heavy use so i guess Mugen proves the price/quality tag alright!
