I exchanged my blue GS3 for the red one yesterday at the local AT&T store. I came home and tried charging it with a generic mini usb cable and Phillips branded plug, The new red phone will not charge, but the blue one I had would charge just fine with the generic cable and charger. I thought it might be the cable so I put the generic cable with the samsung plug and it still didn't charge. Has anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to get the generic cable to work with the charger?
The generic cable will very very slowly charge it, but if I use it while it is on the generic cable, it will actually lose battery power.
Looks like its just an issue with the 6-foot cable I have. The 3-foot generic cable I have charges the phone like it should.

The charger for my Tilt just broke and I need a new Charger. I have two chargers left over from my Blackberry days, The mini usb will fit my Tilt. Will it work ? Or for some reason will it short my battery/phone.
I remember reading a thread about non HTC chargers months ago, but for the life of me I can't find it.
Have a BB charger working just fine on myTrinity.
any miniusb connector which follow the miniusb std will work
be it connected any usb pc cable or any charger
if it don't follow the usb std as in use higher volts then 5
or don't use the same pins for power and groud as spc'd in the miniusb
std
it could break the device
but few would break that std as lawsuits would likely follow
I use my old Motorola V3xx charger or a mini USB from a PC.

I have actually gone down that route and got a "fat plug" with a USB socket on the top for travel, then all i need is one plug and assorted USB charging cables for things.

I decided to take a chance that trying the Motorola charger would not toast anything, I plugged it in, the amber light went on, but no charging icon and no charge.
I am currently using a mini USB cable and charging from the computer, but that requires leaving the computer on all nite, which as we are trying to be green, wastes more electricity than a simple charger.
Possibly the Motorola charger isn't pushing enough current to charge.
My blackberry charger is working fine, but my sprint isn't so good!
anyone having problems with theirs? when I plug in my phone it slows down and is almost unresponsive. if I plug the micro USB cable that came with my phone into this charger it thinks it is plugged into the computer. it says it is a 1A charger so I don't know what the problem is. I am definitely sending it back but wasn't sure if I should order another. I only paid 20 bucks for the charger, cable, and car charger through att but wondering if I should just order the blackberry chargers off Amazon for cheaper.
I also have the same issue..

Hi,
I also have the same issue. Did anyone has any resolution or should I return the charger?
Thanks
Not sure if it was the same charger, but I had to return one I got from AT&T a couple days later as the touchscreen stopped responding properly while it was connected. Swipe would jump all around and it couldn't track my finger correctly. No issues with the stock charger and cable or any generic cables plugged into iPhone converters since.
Ok just checked the AT&T site, it was the Zero charger. That thing is junk.
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
Hi All,
I purchased two items for my XP Z1 last week:
a magnetic charging cable from dx-box:
http://dx-box.com/brand-new-magneti...dapter-for-sony-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra.html
and a dock from online361 via amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FNJ3BFE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The cable (EC21) from dx-box came, looked genuine, and charges whether plugged into a wall charger or a computer usb port. Great.
The dock (DK31) came, looked genuine at first glance, plugged into compter usb port, and nothing happened. I opened it up and the cable inside seems generic. I say this because the cable that came from dx-box has a sony logo on the magnetic charging end. The cable in the DK31 that I received from online361 has no such logo. I plugged it into a wall charger, and it does charge. Only half as useful as the cable from dx-box though...
I'm posting here before giving the amazon seller a bad review because:
a) The xperiablog disassembly guide clearly shows the sony logo at the cable's end
http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/09/2...-be-hacked-to-use-the-magnetic-cable-instead/
and
http://www.xperiaguide.com/2013/10/...ging-dock-dk31-dk30-xperia-z1-xperia-z-ultra/
doesn't clearly show the logo. Is it possible that this variation exist amongst genuine sony docks? Or is there a chance that xperiaguide also received a generic cable in their dock, same as me? Post about DK30 disassembly on XDA also show the sony logo on the cable.
b) Eitherway it's very annoying that the cable I got from dx-box charges whether it is a wall usb plug or a computer usb plug, whereas the DK31 from online361 does NOT charge from a computer USB post. Wondering if anyone has had similar experience, ie not dock not charging from usb port?
Thanks in advance XDA
I've got a genuine DK31, just pulled it apart and there's no Sony logo on the cable.
Haven't tried it on the PC USB plug, I only ever charge it using mains power.
I thought the dock was indeed designed to work only with mains power...?
@charliechocolate Has Sony put up EC21 charging cable on their site officially under product list page ? If Not, then it's strange that you got genuine cable....If yes, then you are lucky
Well Dock ec21 cable doesn't charge via usb port.....only via wall charger...and has no logo on it...
Why you want to charge via usb port anyway, it takes too much times almost twice as compared to via wall charger... ( NO offence please )
Here is the Dock photo we got from MobileFun, it seems pretty genuine to me...
It seems Sony has messed up this thing, nothing like that you got fake product...talk to Sony care regarding this confirming this from them or post on Sony Mobile forum, so that any support staff can look at it.
I stepped on the phone end of my oneplus-one charger and I need a replacement I found a link in this forum but it's dead. The og charger would be great but now I need one for today. What should I be looking at as far as numbers go to be sure I'm getting a compatible charger for my OPO.?
Please describe it more clear, did the AC230V to DC5V usb broke or just the data cabel?
Charger
The wall charger that came with my phone. The end that I plug into the white wall box. So yeah the USB end of the data cable.
You can use any usb cable just search "usb cabel" on amazon and you will find millions.
ebay

a zillion oneplus one chargers on ebay--your opo is probably 5v 2 amp, but will charge very well with 1 amp, so you can borrow or use just about anything for a while.
don't know if it was a single case but someone here used a cheap cable and his device melted at the mini usb connector, so I would choose a cable which has the same specification as the original one.
