Has anyone found a faster battery Charger for our phone? I bought mine from monoprice and did not work, it actually drained my battery instead of charging it.
The factory charger that came with the phone just takes wayyyyyy To long to charge. Also I'm looking for a far charger.
Thanks
Also a CAR charger. Lol
I had an ATT branded iphone charger with usb port. When i plug in a usb cable and try to charge my htc on in the car it complains it cannot charge at full speed. What brand/make car charger will get me a normal charge in the car?

I grabbed this one here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R03A7077
Just received it a few days ago, haven't been able to fully test it, but it seems to be just fine.
Many car chargers just don't put out enough juice - especially older carrier branded ones (ie: cheaply made and sold at a premium). I'd be curious to know the rated output of yours.
The wall charger that ships with the phone is rated at 1 amp output. I've used a 500mA charger and haven't seen that message, though it does charge noticeably slower (as you would expect, with half the current). I don't know the specs on the charger that peteschlabar linked to, but you can find hundreds of chargers on Amazon or Newegg that are rated at or above 1A for a few bucks.
Well I didn't look at the specs of the charger I linked, but I was able to use it the other day while using my phone as a GPS. Battery level started at 94%, and was up to 96% about 1 hour later while using the charger and GPS nav with google maps for the entire hour. I'm completely stock, and the phone gets pretty toasty while charging.
But, main point - the charger seems to work just fine, keeping the phone charging upwards while in use.
Ahhh the joys of having an actual power outlet in your car. I don't have to worry about such things!
But my truck doesn't have that, so for my truck I bought the usb one that goes in the lighter, and it's powerful enough to charge an iPad, it's Belkin brand and it charges my phone very nicely, doesn't seem to be any slower than the house charger.
Sent from my HTC One.
I been using the same car charger since the inc2.
Still working great!

The wall charger that ships with this phone is the same, albeit slightly updated, model as the one that shipped with the original HTC Droid Incredible 3½ years ago, which I still use to charge my phones. They're both model number TC U250 with 5V-1A output and both have the same 100-240V~200mA input. The part numbers are different, though, and they're cosmetically different on the back with extra certifications on the newer one, and they also added Spanish and Chinese translations to the English.
I still use the same Verizon-branded car charger in my car from when I originally bought my Incredible, and if anything, it charges this phone faster than it did my Incredible and Incredible 4G. It went from 40-something percent to fully charged in about an hour of driving the other day with intermittent use. I was pleasantly surprised to see that.

I am a big fan of Y-CHARGE 4.2 Dual USB Car Charger By TYLT
I haven't a battery charger for my Atrix to use when I'm driving, but I have one for a TomTom navigator, so I decided to try to use it for my phone, but it didn't work.
The battery icon on the phone did show same as when I charge it, but it was not charging, it went on losing power until it shut down.
I've tried the charger with the TomTom and it works.
I took a look to the output values both on the phone charger and the TomTom charger:
- TomTom charger -> 5V 1.2A
- Phone charger -> 5.1V 850mA
Why the TomTom charger didn't work with the Atrix?
I want to buy a charger for car which I can use to charge my Atrix, but I only find generic chargers, how can I be sure that they will work?
Atrix 4G - CM10.1 kernel 3.1
I bought this one: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA
Brand and cheap. I guarantee it will work with Atrix.
Does anyone know of a OEM Car Charger that actually charges a responsible amount?
I only know of four 3rd party Qi car chargers.
1. Owl charger
http://owlpad.net/
2. iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Standard Charging Car
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
3. Air Dock

4.KOOLDOCK

I personally own the Owl charger but it does charge that well. Last night I forgot to charge my phone so it was dead in the morning. On my morning commute of 30 minutes, I charged my caseless phone while it was turned off. When I got to work I turned my phone on and it showed 1% battery life. A 1% charge in 30 minutes with a phone powered off is unreasonable. If I am out all day long driving my phone will go dead while mounted on the charger only using bluetooth and pocketcasts.
The second charger is the iOttie which I have no experience with. Will it actually charge the phone a substantial amount?
I am also interested in any other Qi car chargers that do not have to be custom made.
The air dock and the iOttie are two different products.
Unfortunately, I don't have either and can't give you any feedback.
There is no OEM Qi Car charger. There is not one made by neither LG nor Google. There are however many made by 3rd parties other than the 2 you listed. On amazon alone there are about 20 that range from $25 and up. The $25 one though I am leery of, it seems like an odd set up. There are also many on Aliexpress as well. Owl Pad was the 1st one that I know of and since then others have been made. I have been keeping my eye on a good Qi Car Charger setup and was hoping iOttie wasn't going be too pricy. They are sadly one of the most expensive I know of.
I have been thinking of getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-3-Co...id=1398445724&sr=8-19&keywords=qi+car+charger
These are some of the others available.

http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Wirel...id=1398445885&sr=8-73&keywords=qi+car+charger
I'm using the official Nexus Qi charger in my car along with a Proclip car mount. Works great.
My note doesn't seem to be charging with my 2A car charger. It shows that it is, but loses percentage even with the screen off. The AC charger that came with the phone works great.
Anybody else have this problem?
What kind of charger do you have? I've tried two 2a Anker car chargers and they have both have charged my phone pretty fast. And also tried my 2a Anker battery has charged fast. I believe all of them use the IQ features to know how much juice they want
