Where do you guys buy the original car chargers? I tried looking online but so far, all that I have found are the generic car chargers. Even some shops that had pictures of the original car chargers only sold generic ones.
Any idea where I can get an original charger or if you have one for sale? Also what is the price that I can expect to pay for an original car charger?
I bought a proper O2 car charger from an O2 shop here in the UK for £15 at the weekend. Works well.
I might sell it if I find a solution involving a dual USB car adapter that works with the synch/charge cable and can simultaneously charge my TomTom...
Seems bizarre that you're in Singapore, near to HongKong where most of the eBay sellers of chargers and adapters are based, and yet you can't get what you want locally.

Whats the difference between a $35 O2 Exec Car charger and a $5 Charger available from eBay. Both of them work and charge the O2 XDA Exec. Does the O2 Exec charger charge the Universal faster than the other non-official charger?

I've got no experience of other chargers, so I can't answer your question. There are many people on this forum saying they've got problems with cheapo eBay chargers though.
My Exec charges more slowly from my PC's USB port than it does with the mains charger, so I guess it does drain a lot of current if the screen is on while charging. Cheap car chargers may not provide enough current.

Most ebay car chargers are not able to charge the phone when it is running navigational problems. it just does not charge it at all. the phone needs to be turned off before you can charge it.

Ah thanks. I might go for the O2 Car charger then. I think then the Car charer -> AC charger is much better. You know plugging in your AC charger into a Car charger outlet. Car charger adapters. Yes thats what they are called. I am sure thats a better choice and will work! ^^ Also a nice anti-shock car stand for the HTC Universal will be nice right? I saw some good ones on eBay. Show me something better if you see any? Also show me whats the best on eBay,... I am unable to decide... too much variety... I would usually go for the most expensive one but I like more features and durability ^^.. thanks vapor
I found a car adapter with dual USB outlets that the advertiser claims can supply 2 amps, which must be enough to power + charge the Exec and charge the TomTom. Am trying also to find a cable to charge TomTom from a USB port and then my life will be complete.
vapor, if I get these things and they work, I'm happy to post you my O2 car charger at cost. I'll let you know in the new year.

That'd be great buddy. Do let me know the costs yeah?
Anyone know how to get my hands on a second HTC-brand AC Adapter for the EVO that plugs into N/A wall outlet? (MODEL TC U250)
Would like to know this as well since it works reliably and is high power.
I like the HTC branded one too for it's power and size but here is a really good travel charger to consider.
http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlin...ID=PGU3838R_C&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
It has a battery built in so it can also function as a backup battery when you're traveling and need a quick charge. With a 25% off for being a premier customer it's $29.99.

I'm pretty sure I saw some on Amazon
I found a kit for the iPod and iPhone that provides a 5V/1A car and home charger that allows the device to work properly (no wonkiness with the screen). They're both USB plugs and then you plug in a microUSB cable that you've provided (it comes with an iPod cord). The phone doesn't unfortunately recognize them as anything but USB BUT they are higher current so they should charge faster than the typical devices.
It's made by Philips and says "Fast charging at home & in the car" on the front. The part number is DLM2264/17.
This is the same thing on Philips' website (though on this link it's branded DLO and the one I bought is not).
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?ctn=DLM2264D/17&scy=us&slg=en
I believe it was $35. I found it at Staples.
i was looking for one too and found this seller on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HTC-Desire-O...Accessories&hash=item255c9d25ac#ht_2798wt_733
they are OEM HTC models and dirt cheap (US $9 inc. shipping). just placed an order!
Enjoy waiting on that ac adapter for a month.
I've gotten two from Florida, took three days:

I bought this one, got it within 3 days. I am thinking about buying another one just to have.
I purchased my Vibrant through one of those online retailers. With the package I got a USB charger and a car charger. It did not come with a wall charger ?
I think when I am traveling, the USB charger is no good. At airports I can only get to outlets..
If I am supposed to buy a wall charger separately, could someone point me to the cheapest option (ebay, Tmobile store, etc)
Can't help you on the supposed package contents.
But to charge your phone, you need to buy a USB wall adaptor.Then you plug your usb cable into it.
EBay will get you a good price.
Also take a look at DealExtreme.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yes it comes with one that the usb plugs into. that inturn plugs into the wall.

Thank you all for the clarification. I bought one which had the USB thing for $3.50 on ebay. I think that was a pretty good price with free shipping.
Has anyone else ever used or encountered Tylt Chargers? I am looking for something in my car that rolls flat so I can store it in my glove box without causing anarchy haha. Anyone have any experience with Tylt chargers? Anyone specifically used them with their Nexus 4 or 5?
That thing is overpriced. $40 for a car charger? c'mon.
I bought these from amazon for $15 which has 2 chargers (each has 2 ports) with 2.1A output.
I use Google Maps and music with this plugged in and the battery doesn't drop.
I don't even see how they can justify a $40 price tag. It's a Micro-USB car charger with a flat ribbon cable. I don't care if it's "flexible" or not, it's not like it can hold your phone up all by itself just by the USB port.
i only use anker brand products for charging. anker has a 24w car charger that comes with an additional usb port. i can charge 2 phones in my car easily compared to others that just keep it from dropping. and its only 12 dollars on amazon
Would anyone happen to know where the cheapest, compatible wireless charger is sold for the G3?
Bro if you buy cheap you can't get mad when it don't work good. It is never worth it to go cheap
I don't know if I would say that. Some people got a cheap wireless charger from AT&T that was fine but out of stock now. I'm not talking about the back cover I know AT&T's is different. I bought a LG Vest case from Korea for 20 and it was 60 in the US. Same exact case. It's kind of hit or miss though. I want to get wireless charger but only if I can find a deal on a good one. I think buying cheap batteries is different though. I want a slim case but I don't know what ones work with a wireless charger. I guess maybe I'll just get a bumper or something.
Depending on the item, I'll buy cheap such as chargers or cables. They've worked for me for X amount of years. If it breaks, I'll buy a new one and it will still be cheaper than buying a quality one that costs 4 times as much.
I just ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/22147408925...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I see a lot of people and on YouTube using this. The Qi chargers are nothing special. Its all plastic and the internal is just a chip, with wire and coil for charging. You can even buy the internals on eBay and put it in to your own case if you're that creative.
I have Nexus Wireless Charging orb I can sell you
Qi-compatible wireless adapter with NFC
My adapter finally arrived! I used a sharp knife and sliced out the old one after I tested this one.
Chinese website that only took 2 weeks to deliver!
It works with my Nokia Wireless charger just fine. However, with the standard white, flat, Qi-compatible charger I got on Amazon for $8, it says "charging slowly" and to plug in to the usb port to charge faster.
I'm just glad I don't have to buy the LG-branded wireless charging station for $50+!

My Nokia DT910 charges fine with no slow charge warning, but randomly disconnects and then immediately starts charging again. Is it doing that for you?

I got the LG puck from from Verizon last year when they had a promo. Works fine on my Nexus 7 but on the G3 I get the slow charge message
