Do you have the original charger?
I bought a charger from China and it happened like that, but it doesn't happens with the HTC genuine charger.

It definately sounds like a charger that is not regulating the voltage properly. I would stop using the charger immediately and use usb from a laptop or pc. I have fried a few phones using the wrong or cheap chargers, tho old razr's were famous for that.

Are you experiencing the same problem when charging via USB on a computer?

My genuine HTC charger blow up at first charge :banghead: there are a few chargers issues with most phones are made in China

I've had problems when I was carrying a charger unofficial

Check the specs of a charger. It should be 1A, 5V if I remember right. It is not recommended to use charger with higher specs.

Do you use an original wire?

Charging with 5v 2amp possible?

He Lo, yesterday I bought a Google Asus Nexus7 tablet, with it came a nice charger, with a double amperage compared wit type original HTC One X charger. I'm wondering, can I als use it to charge my OneX wit this charger without damaging my phone?
Thanks for your comments and advices.

Hi there,
Yes, you can. I have a 5v 2A charger I use in the car and it charges fine, it does take a little longer than the mains charger but otherwise it works great!

Don't you have any knowledge about electricity? You can charge even with 100A charger, it merely states how much current it's able to provide. Device controls the amount of current it draws.

Yes you can charge with it but you shouldn't, it can damage the device's charging components if the charger's voltage output not very stable(bad quality).
It can also heat up your charger and/or device.

Err... what? Are these Asus chargers known for bad quality or something?
It should be fine. It might take more time to charge, if the data pins are not connected to indicate a mains charger to One X.

yes you can !
I have similar charger for asus transformer and no problem with charging HOX .

That's somewhat harsh don't you think? What happened to the friendly helpful XDA community?!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Yep, my HOX charges just fine on the 2A charger that came with my N7. It doesn't charge any faster, but then I wouldn't expect it to - if the battery in the HOX were able to charge at a higher current, I'm sure HTC would have shipped it with a higher capacity charger!

Does he have to? What's that attitude?

minus the attitude, Presterin is correct.

You're right, sorry about the attitude. But this has been discussed multiple times even on One X forums, and it's getting annoying.

what's annoying is people using that excuse 'its been discussed already multiple times' as a justification for the way you responded.

If you ignore my first sentence, didn't I provide informative reply? This is pointless and off-topic.

How long does it take to fully charge the HOX?

[Q] Charge 2 SGSIII's at once?

I would like to get a charging cable that has 2 Male Micro USB connectors and 1 standard Male USB connector.
These are supposed to charge 2 cell phones through one USB charger, but I've read that you might need a higher capacity charger than comes with your single cable charger.
Will the standard USB charger that comes with our phone work, or will I need a higher capacity charger?
Thanks

Higher capacity. Need a higher mA charger. I would not recommend this. What would be the advantage? Why not just use 2 chargers

Thanks...saw them while browsing internet. Lots of people have them (per Amazon reviews), and most seem to like them. Cuts out a bit of cable clutter

I guess if you have a limited number of outlets it could just save an extra spot.

AC Charger

Just bought an S3 without a charge and now I need to pick one up. Any suggestions for which one to get? OEM or aftermarket? Does the voltage matter or does the phone only allow 0.7A?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app

The transformer ( brick thing that plugs into the wall) has a Certain limit on the amount of amps that can run through it.
The more amps...more power. ... Faster charging.
I seen them go all the way up to 2 amps for car chargers.
90% sure the nexus 4 has a 1.2 amp limit in the stock wall charger.
I wouldn't recommend anything higher then 2 amps.
You might just be paying for false advertising or just have something dangerous.

I use several different ones
Personally I use the name branded ones but also have several chinese ones as well
Chinese 2.1amp I have several they seem to work
I would make sure to get at least a 1amp/1000ma cause they throttle, peak is actually 1amp so running flat out could be lower
I have several HTC branded chargers they work good (they are 1 amp) I see you sent your message from a Thunderbolt so I assume you have an HTC charger already

I use the charger from my htc incredible. GS3 charger and cable are still in the box. Htc charger works very well with the S3.

Yea I plan on using it for a while, but will probably end up selling the ThunderBolt. Probably just try and pick one up.

Anyone have any luck with the dual usb charging ports? Just got an android phone for work, so I was wanting to use only one charger (two cables obviously) to cut down on the stuff I have to carry around.

If it's a phone charger with Micro usb, it will have standard voltage.
Try to get a 2amp charger so that it has more than enough amps. Sometimes a 1amp charger will only feed .8amps or so. It's best to have more amps than needed especially for charging blocks that have dual usb output and if your charging 2 devices at the same time.
The S3 typically will draw as much as 1.13amps (during peak charge) with a wall charger that can provide that much. Certain Kernels and roms may cause this value to increase.
