Hey. I started noticeing that my battery charges for ages from ac. Then i went to setings->about phone->battery there it says that my status Charging (USB)
My charger and cable are stock htc. Then i Changed cable to nokia's generic leaving generic htc charger and now It's normal again Status charging (AC) and now the speed of charge is normal. So this is end of my htc cable, or maybe i damaged htc phone's socket by using nokia's cable so now socket only acepts nokias cable?
BTW there us some minor diference in nokias abd htc's micro usb cables

Whenever I plug my Desire in an AC outlet, it charges ridiculously slow. I check the battery status and it says "Charging (USB)" (not AC) and USB Debugging pops up. My wall adapter says it has an output of 1000ma. Is the chord bottle-necking the charging speed or is it the adapter? I am using the chord that came with my phone but I bought a new adapter to fit my countries outlets.
Same problem. I would like a resolution to this also.
There is allready a thread concerning this issue and it has the solution your looking for.

I have looked on the forums and it should seem like I should get regular AC charging on my Desire. I have a 1000mah charger and I am using the USB cable that came with my phone. I am wondering why I do not. I looked at my USB (fat side) pins and they are shortened. I have included an image of my charger.
if the adaptor says it supports iPhone etc then that is why the USB debugging symbol is coming up.
because that symbol is up it will only charge at 500mA max (the phone thinks it is in a PC, it doesn't wnat toburn out the USB port).
if it is a cheap adaptor, the voltage regulator may be limited to 100mA. thats what happened with me.
either way, in my eyes you have 3 choices.
1. buy a new adaptor
2. put a new voltage regulator in the adaptor (a friend did this for me)
3. use a converter so the adaptor you have will work in your wall.

O I didn't realize if it was branded to work with iPhone it would charge slowly. Thank you for your help. Next time I'll watch out for a "Works for the iPhoney."
Bump
I would like to know how it ended?
I have a same problem, the only difference is that i have stock HTC AC charger with separate USB cable (stock too). When plugged to AC it shows "charging(USB)". Tried different cables, same result. Tried two different AC adapters, but both were from NOKIA, same result...
This might help your slow charging issue
If the wall charger is causing your phone to charge in a USB state, the charge time will be very long compared to a normal AC charging state which I'm sure you are aware of. A cable called QuickCharge might help. It will enhance USB charging to AC charging. You can find it on Amazon by searching for 'QuickCharge'. It's the 2nd or 3rd item down.
Guys, I have my normal charger at home which works fine. Here at work I have a fairly new (but cheap) USB cable. At work the charge never goes up, it stays at the same percentage all day. It charged my Optimus 3D fine.
If I swap it for a colleagues USB cable (came with his Windows Phone) it charges fine (same USB port or USB ac adapter).
Is there a certain type of Micro USB cable I should be looking for that's not stupidly priced? (in the UK)
Coming from an Iphone I didn't have any spare micro USB cables so I went to a computer store and bought 3 store brand (cheap) microUSB cables and they all work fine.
The only thing to take note of is some wall charges are seen by the phone as "USB" and not "AC Charger" and thus will only pull in 500mah which is pretty slow. If you install battery monitor widget by 3C it will tell you the amperage coming in and if the phone sees your connection as USB or AC.
I discovered my 1amp apple USB brick does not charge higher than 500mah only my samsung one does that came with the phone.

yeah, but if I use the same USB port or the same AC plug I don't understand why 1 cable will charge fine, the other gives just enough to keep it at the same percentage all day?
i just got a New Trent IMP1000 external charging battery that chargers anything with a USB but when i connected the samsung wire that came with my Galaxy Nexus into the New Trent it charged really really slow compared to putting the wire into the samsung block that goes into the wall.. I thought the problem was with the New Trent since it is only an external battery charger but when i used the USB they provided (which i thought was crap) it charged literally 100x faster than the official samsung usb wire into the New Trent.. WHY!? why does the New Trent USB Wire charge faster than the Samsung USB into the New Trent but they charge at the same rate if the Samsung USB wire is plugged into the Samsung wall block. i know this post sounds confusing but if you get it im just wondering why lol
With the Samsung USB wire you will probably only get your phone to charge with USB amps (check in About phone/Status). The other cable is probably wired to tell the phone it's a wall charger and thus will give you more amps.
If your phone says Charging (USB) you are limited to 500mA charging current, and if your phone says Charging (AC) it is limited to 1000mA current.
Hello everyone,
I noticed that my HTC 10 (Europe Unlocked FW 1.80) has trouble charging on 1A chargers, the charging LED blink every 5-10 seconds.
It does work fine with a 1.5A charger and the bundled quick charger (2.5A). It did also work fine when attached to the laptop directly.
Did you also experience this behavior?
I have original HTC wall charger 5V-1A and HTC charges without problems on factory cable.
On non complaint, cheap usbA to usb type C cables the led is blinking and not charging.
I have charged my HTC10 on a 1A charger many times and everytime without problem.
Interesting, I am also using an original HTC charger with the bundled cable and I do get the issue.
Are you by any chance also running the 1.80 ROM?
Today I updated to .401, I have EU phone. No charge issues, my phone charges slowly from this 1A charger right now.

How did you measure the actual current?
How did you establish that the actual output is 1A?
Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..

I did simply read what was written on the charger and assumed that it would be correct. I did carry on with my investigations, and the phone charges fine with a lot of charger (including Samsung & apple 1A). It just fail with 3 old HTC ones rated 1A.
Did you tried to move the usb plug in the charger to determine if it is connected properly? Do that and watch if the red led on the phone lights up.
Yes, I did move the charger it does not help.
The red LED is active for about 10 seconds, then it stops, and after 2 seconds it lights again.
But in the end I don't mind - I just use other chargers
@cavist: Out of curiosity, are you on 110W or 230W?
I am on 230V, I have eu spec, original HTC charger from my M7 bundle, I noticed that one of my cables ordered online has something wrong with the connector and I need to move it in the charger to get it working so I thought, maybe the HTC charger wear quite quickly and some connector can not fully connect with the paths.
All my other type C cables are fine with it. I use this charger to charge my M10 over night and the QC3.0 charger to quickly charge on the desktop.
I have been charging my 10 every night on a Samsung original 1A charger + original HTC USB A to C cable. No issues at all.
I recently bought some cheap USB A to C cables, and the phone won't charge unless I pull the USB A end slightly out from the Samsung 1A charger.
But the cheap cable works fine with my other chargers, so I presume it's a mechanical tolerance issue between the Samsung 1A USB A jack & the USB A end of my cheap cable.

Same with my HTC charger and certain USBA connectors.
This is in regarding my several week old HTC10, which I got off ebay. Phone is S-Off and running stock US unlocked firmware.
The phone is not able to negotiate quick charge with the original HTC charger.
If I use my old HTC charger (from the HTC ONE - 5V 1A) or my ipad charger (5V 2A) or my computer USB port (5V 0.5A), the phone will charge, although slowly.
If I attach the HTC 10 charger when phone is 80% or more charged (ie not really using quick charge), the HTC 10 charger will work, and phone shows "charging rapidly".
But if I use the HTC 10 charger when battery is less than 80% (presumably when the phone is asking for higher volts) I get this:
phone shows "charging on AC" for half a sec or so,
then "charging rapidly" for half a sec,
then "discharging".
This repeats every second or so, and the phone barely charges. (Certainly much slower than my 0.5A computer port.)
I suspect that the phone is having problems negotiating a charging voltage with the charger, and cycling on & off repeatedly as it tries.
I guess this is due to either a bad charger, a bad cable, or bad firmware or hardware.
I don't have other USB C cables or Quick charge 3 power brick to experiment with.
Anyone has any idea of which is likely the culprit?
This is not a deal breaker as I plan to use mostly my 1A charger to slow charge in order to preserve battery longevity. But it would be nice to figure out why quick charge is not working.
Thanks all.
Update: Borrowed a Samsung Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, and it worked with my current cable. So I guess the adapter is faulty.
