Charging with 5v 2amp possible? - HTC One X

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.
Philip

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?!

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.

Flashing notification light

Hi, when I play games or watch movies on my one x it sometimes start to flash red - green on the notification light.
I think it only happens when I have the charger plugged in. Anyone know what it is? And if its any help, I'm running leedroids Rom.

I was thinking this but I'm not too sure, I was wondering if the one x charger would have higher power output due to the beastlyness of the phone. I however never use it because it's short...use an old blackberry charger seems to take about the same amount of time to charge tho

Generally, those two circumstances tend to occur simultaneously!

No, its pretty much an industry standard that micro usb chargers run 1A @ 5v
If the charger is really old it could be 800mA but not likely, easy to check though, just check between the pins on the plug

oh so its not overheating?
It's definitely overheating. I was watching an hd movie using sw code and charging (I had about 20% battery, so it was taking the whole amp), and the light began flashing. I quit the mx player and saw battery widget reporting 49 degrees Celsius and battery status was 'overheating' I have to mention though that I had my phone placed onto a pillow, so no chance of dissipating the heat whatsoever. I presume the same happens when you play a game and hold your phone. My advice is just to wait a while for the battery to go up enough, so the charger begins the slow cycle - then you'll be charging with a few hundred mA and it will be easier for the phone to handle the extra heat.

Well when the led flashed like that for me I was playing shadowgun and the battery dropped a percent over the time I was playing with it charging the whole time, but like someone said above both will happen. The phone was hot for sure
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Well I used to have overheat problems as well but I fixed it by doing a hard reset. My phone doesn't overheat as it did before the reset and I can easily play games on the phone while charging. Even after a hard reset, my phone easily hits 43 degrees though. Just thought to share this with you guys.

I used my touchpad’s charger which is a 2A charger and it charges twice the speed. So you can try using any tablet's charger for a fast charge..

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?

Battery general questions and doubts

Well I'm little confusing now .
I have 2 charges.
One with out 5v 2000mah
Two with out 5v 10000mah
I noticed by my self but I need to be sure, big cables delays charge?
Before new systems, like ics and others updates on HTC Systems.
I always charged my phones with 1A.
Now even with 2A charger, some times my phone does not charge. Including some times if I use phone while charging battery decreases.
Maybe it is happening cause of my big cables?
What Is the influence of cables on wall charges?
Roms got influencing the charge time?

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?

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.

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.

[Q]Charging

Hey guys, I'm having a problem. So recently, I have been noticing that my charge is much slower, then I realised that even though the charger is plugged to wall socket, the charge speed is as of a USB charge. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Pristine way right? How that can be happening? Maybe you can use fast charge from google play, as sir arco make it compatible with his roms. But actually it is not necessary to do that as you plug in to wall socket. But you can give it a try.

No. That's battery calibration apps. This is fast charge app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.org.winters.android.gnfastcharge
Before connect to charger, open the app, give superuser permission then on it. The plug your charger. It should change to ac charge. Actually it function as if we want to charge it using usb and plug in at laptop, or maybe in car that have usb. So we don't need charger that can plug in the car. Give it a try. Cheers

Don´t belive in what some apps are you showing. Take a DMM and check the voltages yourself. Your charger should output 5V and your battery should have 4.2V when it´s fully charged and something between 3.0-3.6 when discharged.
Myabe your charger is dying or its the battery. Either way no software will fix this, nor whiping battery stats which Android is doing on each reboot, nor green Android ghosts.
First check the voltages and try an other charger. Secound if needed replace the battery against a new one because it may also be the battery which is dying where it´s internal resistance is growing and so reducing the charging current.
The max charging current should be around 0.7 x capacity as charging with higher currents will decrase its lifetime.
It´s not worth using FastCharge. Neither for the lifetime nor for the risk to get your battery exploded, as this is growing too with higher currents.
Currently cargers are dirt cheap. You can get one with 1Ampere output for around $3-4. A replacement battery costs about $10-20.

I recently bought a new battery, which ironically is $39 for a non-original battery, whereas the Samsung battery was charging $52... I think the cause is the charger, it has been relentlessly supporting me for one and a half years and I think its time to say goodbye to it.

Yes, I have had already a lot of chargers dying. Disassembled them all and they all are using the same circuit. They are made dirt cheap and it´s production costs will be about 50 cent. The only better quality circuit I came across was from a charger made by Sony. This one was even worth to be repaired but if it comes to the other cheap ones I´m just throwing them away and replacing with new ones.
Just wounder why the batteries are so expencive in your area.
