I would like to get a car charger that works with the O2 Exec when I am running navigational programs such as Garmin Que and TomTom. I have tried more than 5 chargers but no luck thus far.
If anyone has any to recommend, do let me know. I am located in Singapore.
i use my car charger from my gps that is the Holux 236, the only think i have to do so that it starts charging is turn it off on the button and the led will change to orange, i have tried one other charger that has a usb plug and it worked fine ! So has long as it has a usb plug you'll be alright and if you do not find one look for the Motorola car plugs that it will probably work on Uni since it has a mini usb plug
The charger from M3000 works fine with my Uni
And the Motorola Mini-USB chargers doesn't work...
Hi, I found that this issue is connected with proper usb cable not with charger itself (usb mini have 5 connector but in some cables only 4 are connected and in some other cables all 5 are connected and so are the difference). I was also trying many chargers and no luck. But I ve tryied charger with other cable and suddenly all chargers start charging my jasjar.
Anyway, the bad thing is it stops whitout any reason so now charging jasjar in my car is a real mystery for me.
regards,
Piotr
Be careful if buying one with a double USB output - I bought a few different models hoping to power both Exec and the Holux GPSlim-236, but all failed. They would power the Exec, but as soon as the Holux was connected, it would always cause the Exec to continually reboot - fortunately "soft". Make sure the supplier will take them back if it doesn't work.
Try a car charger with a USB socket on the end that takes a separate Sync/Charge cable.
The problem is, the exec is very power hungry, especially when the batt is dead !! you need a high current charger at least 1A (1 amp) the charger used with the blackberry (I forget which model) is suitable as is the genuine exec charger obviously.
use O2 Atom car charge
O2 Atom car charge will work with O2 Exec as well as A/C charger from Atom
Exec/SPV car charger...
Got an o2 branded one today for the Exec/Mini - works like a charm (Charges my SPV and runs Tt at the same time) but cost me £14.99 for the privelage!
could you post a link to the website? I would love to purchase one but am currently located in Singapore and so far all the charges don't seem to work for me.

I would love it but can you confirm that it would charge the phone while running navigational programs?
You can email me at [email protected] to discuss the price and shipping.

Car Charger for UNI - how to make working
Hi All!
I've also tryed 2 diferent car chargers and 1 USB Pluggable Car Charger (some noname chineese 3-rd party) with 3 diferent cables, and one 3-rd party AC Power Charger. They ALL worked strange.
I can confirm that to make them all work I should:
1. Switch off the Universal;
2. Plug in the chgrer in to Universal;
3. Wait until the Red Light on.
Now I may turn the Universal On, and see the "Charging" battery status.
The reason and how to fix:
As you may see I used different adapters. All they have from 0.5 to 1.0A output circuit. But, the USB ports I used with my laptops have only 0.5A output and always start charging the Universal.
So, I dont think the output power is the reason.
The most likely - it is the "5-th pin" issue, which is mentioned above here. Can somebody provide information about power connection for the Universal?
It seems the solution is about to interconnect/short circuit 2 wires in the car adapter' cable to make the Universal charging in a usual way with any of my (your) "non-working" car adapters.
Also, I've noticed, that in a case the battery level around 30% and I plug in the "non working adapter" and no red light and system not is in the "Charging" state -- the battery is charging anyway!
Also, let me remind you about another issue that the Universal have: Active Sync (older versions) would not sync (USB Device not recognized error) if you plug in the Universal if the power is On.
To workaround that you have to switch off the Universal, plug the cable and after that you could successfully sync. The same symptoms? May be the same reason?
I would advice anybody not to mess with interconnections in USB, I mean stop soldering and checking because its shortest road to bricking Your precious jasjar. It can be done with proper cable and you have to find the right one ;-)
Secondly - I found that jasjar Rom is also responsible for charging issues. As I stated earlier I finally found good usb cable but later on I lost an ability to charge Uni. in the car. After upgrading to the Aku3.2 rom it start to charge immidiatelly. Same charger and cable - one time it charge, second time it dont. So additionally to cable theres something with soft with preventing Uni. from charging.
man why is it such a complicated issue to get the universal to charge? and it seems that this charging problem only happens to the universal and not any other device, am i right?

YESSS! I Have upgraded to on of that Aku3.2 recently! May be it is the reason! But, my original Power adapter still charges my Uni so does the USB conndction to the laptop...
To ALL: Could you please confirm that you can use third-party adapters with the older ROMs?
hopefully we can get some updates soon.
Are all chargers alike?
Are all chargers the same? I would think that the USB power rating would be the same. So, I should be able to charge the Jasjar using a charger for a Motorola RAZR (if I weren't so afraid of blowing up the Jasjar)
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.
Does anyone know what kind of connector the charger uses? Is it similar to another Motorola product that has the same charger?
I'm looking for this information so I can order a new tip for my Energizer Xpal. http://www.xpalpower.com/us/products/
I'd like to find a part number for the male plug that can be ordered from a parts site like Digikey. 12v 1.5A supplies are dirt cheap, I just need the plug to splice on.
I just tried an old nokia charger and the tip works, but the charger is 5v 300ma
I am attaching the tip to a 12v 2 amps... hope I don't fry it... ha
Will keep posted
It worked!
The nokia old plug works with the Xoom.
What model nokia was the phone that adapter belonged to?
Hey, I am hoping someone can help me find the correct car charger adapter for my Galaxy note. I have tried a few and struggled.
I am looking for an adapter similar to this ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002C3AFHG
The problem is that it doesnt output correct (5v, 1mAmp ... read comment http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2LOQFBMC3I746/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2LOQFBMC3I746) ... as a result, the charge is very slow and not useful for using device as a sat nav.
Is there anyone who has bought such an adapter that charges well?
Thanks.:cyclops:
Yes. The stock SAMSUNG car charger charges at a rate sufficient to increase the charge in the battery while using a nav device.
A search in this forum will find an older thread that discussed this. On member tested many car chargers and discovered that the SAMSUNG was the only one he found that performed properly.
Based on that review, I purchased the SAMSUNG charger on either ebay or amazon (don't remember) for a very good price. I also saved a great deal of money by not purchasing a bunch of cheapies that didn't work! I have been very pleased with my purchase.

I bought one on dealxtreme, was about 4 dollar and it works perfect.
Thanks so much for the information - I now know there is something out there, but no links I cant confidently find these chargers you guys speak of...
any links? Thanks
Car Charger
I have the same problem I have bougth a couple of cheap ones off ebay, but the battery still drains during Sat Nav use.
Looks like I may have to shell out for a more expensive one........
It doesnt seem an uncommon problem, but dame, it so difficult to find help. I have searched high and low for the above links. The problem is a real one, esp as I am looking for an adapter to plug to an exisiting cable...
I got the stock Car Dock and love it. Use it to play music via bluetooth and nav and its charges just fine.

It isn't difficult to find help. It IS difficult to want to help someone too lazy to do a simple search!
Go to amazon and search for "original car charger for Galaxy Note". I bought the one from Frontier Telecom LLC.
You'll have to do the rest yourself. I'm not going to buy it for you.

You can use any standard usb charger and get the correct current with a modified USB cable.
There is a thread in the forum tells you how to modify it. Basically, shorten the pin 3 and 4 (data differential pair) of the USB connector, and you will smile.

I'm using a cheapo 1amp USB car charger and a standard micro usb cable. Works well with my Note.
Currently I'm using a 2100mah output car charger with 2 in 1 (apple + micro usb) charging head to charge my notes. It can charge and ipad with no problem.
Fast charging from the 2.1A output
Difference betweeb 1a and 2
Hi guys,
My cheap car charger I bought from ebay do not charge my note, when I use the navigation.
1) How do I check whether they are 0.5a or 1a. It is not written on the charger and not in the description on ebay. How do I mesure that, with an android software?
2) Is there a difference between using a 1a and 2a car charger or is this limited to 1a anyway?
thanks
I have purchased this very recently and looks like it is doing a good job. My phone gets charged perfectly during my driving
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=9&bid=1&mid=6&pid=6775
I also purchased this to help me hold the Note when i use Navigation
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=27&mid=865&pid=11509
Interesting.
This is what I just bought on dealextreme.com:
http://dx.com/p/car-cigarette-power...harger-for-ipad-iphone-white-dc-12-24v-104826
Will see if 2.1A will charge it faster... At least I will have the option between 1A and 2.1A
Samsung stock charger is the best. Charges my Note at the same rate as the travel charger

That's what I posted in the first response to the OP a month ago. I only bought this one car charger for $19 including free overnight shipping.
I am amazed when I read of people buying several of the cheapies that almost never work as well as the OEM charger, because they think $19 is too much to pay for a charger. They spend at least that much on multiple chargers plus MULTIPLE SHIPPING and still don't have a charger that works well!
Just buy the OEM. You'll save money and have a charger that works well when using Sat Nav.

3a charger + charge adapater
If you just want it easy and dont mind the cost, get the sumsang charger - Im just not sure if it shows up as "AC charging" or the slower "USB charging" and if it will actually charge up with full brightness on, GPS, wifi, bluetooth all at once... I do use all those at once.
But if your ok with a bit of fiddling around, get a 12v step down to 5v 3amp power module and use it with a dedicated ic chip charger cable - it will work with all androids and even the misus iphone and will always give fast AC mode charging with more amps than most phones need. or use it to power 2-3 devices.
$5 for the power adatper
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Led-Dis...337?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256f93f0b1
$2 for the charging cable (example)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-in1-mult...903429?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc9932cc5
$1 for a cigarette connector, only to use the cigarette connector body.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Car-Cig...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item2ec08a050d
The important part is getting a charger cable with the inbuilt IC chip to tell the gnote to go into AC charging mode, otherwise this solution has been working great for years.
hello
I have the orginal nexus 5 wall charger
http://i59.tinypic.com/34oscra.jpg
and one that I bought in Germany
http://i57.tinypic.com/14l6edv.jpg
the new one from Germany is 2.1 a
and the orginal one is 1.2 a and the orginal one is fastter I tied also with the orginal cable both of them..why is that?
thank you
Probably just something as simple as either exaggerated output specs on the German one, or poor build quality.
maybe the exaggerated output specs on the German one are fake?
It could be that the German one is not actually delivering its advertised output, or it could be that the German one is designed to power Apple devices. Essentially, Android chargers short the data pins so that there is no voltage across them. This tells the phone that its a wall charger and it can draw as much power as it needs. Chargers for Apple devices put a voltage across the data pins to tell the phone what the output of the charger is.
If you go to Settings -> Battery while it's charging on the German charger, does it say "Charging (AC)" or "Charging (USB)"?
it said charging usb..

That solves the mystery then. The German charger is designed using the Apple standard so the Nexus 5 thinks it is a laptop USB port instead of a charger. That means it will only draw 500mA (vs 1200mA from the stock charger). You could either buy a different charger or just get a charge-only adapter or cable to use with the charger (assuming the German charger has a removable cable).

http://www.amazon.com/PortaPow-Micr...TYUE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411398695&sr=8-1
Make sure to buy the "Universal" version, not the Apple version. These items short the two data pins so that the cable will not work for transferring data but will always be seen as an AC adapter by the phone.
I tried also with the original cable that comes with the nexus and it suppose to be ok and it's not ... there is cable more the original one???

I thought I explained it in my last post but the issue is with the charger, not the cable. The cable and adapter I linked to will fix the incompatibility with the charger.
ok I understand now I will order it soon
