I'm currently using a regular usb cable to charge my phone directly from my car stereo while driving. The problem is that it takes close to an hour for the battery charge to increase 10% when I'm streaming pandora through bluetooth and using the phone's GPS. I'm assuming that the usb port in my stereo is only capable of putting out 500ma, if not less. Curious to see if anyone knows whether a DC to micro usb cable would give me a faster charge (1000ma). Thanks in advance.
BEst one ive ever used is the official palm one for the pre or pixi. Completely charges the evo from dead to full in about an hour while on the road on a call via bluetooth. Seriously good, verified a while ago on the precentral.net forums that its 1000 mA. They are only like 15 bucks at best buy, or maybe even less on amazon.
Go to amazon or google and search for 12V 1Amp USB charger and that should give you exactly what you need...I use a 1Amp charger for all my devices and works just fine...1 thing to note, that if you have time to use a 500ma charger, let it do it, a little bit slower charge will extend the life of the battery(not necessarily run time, but the length of time the battery will hold as good of a charge).
I use the one below. Works pretty great..5V/1A, exactly what you'd need. The thing says iPod, but it can be used for any USB charged device. An extra nice feature of this charger is that it sits nearly flush with the dash of your car

Cool, thanks for the responses guys. I ended up going with the palm pre charger from amazon, a little pricey at $20, but that's the best deal I could find for it. I'd rather pay a little more than get one that will crap out on me in a month. And it terms of a slower charge (500ma) being more beneficial for a longer battery lifespan, I'd rather dish out $10-$15 in 6 months or so for a new battery than to have to deal with this ridiculously slow charging time
Another option for 1A (1000mA)...
Not to resurrect a dead thread, but I think this may be useful to know:
Several other EVO forums ("fora?") have reported great success with this low-profile charger. I just got it off of amazon myself...
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Micro-Auto-Charger-5VOLT/dp/B002F0200Q/ref=sr_1_1
You can also get 1-meter cables from Blackberry themselves on Amazon for $2.50 each, so if you have Amazon Prime, gets you a flexible solution for 11 bucks or so. I have ordered mine and will report back in 2 days...

This is actually the same one I linked earlier minus the iPod cable and much cheaper
EDIT: Best Buy seems to have stopped carrying this product. I updated the link in my post above to Slappy_G's post

Do they make one with 2 USB ports? One for charging the phone and another for your Bluetooth head piece.

I'm not allowed to post links yet, but you can search for Scosche to find their products. They make dual port USB chargers.
Scosche makes a couple different models, one is advertised as having 2 amps over the two ports.
On a side note, I tried buying a blackberry micro usb cable off Amazon, and it starts to charge my phone for a second or two and then stops, it's very strange. I think it might work with the home charger, but I didn't check as I didn't notice till later that the charging stopped so soon.
Doing some cleanup and checking threads I promised to respond to...
The Belkin works great, and my wife has the 2-port Scosche. However, for me, NEITHER of them show "Charging(AC)" on either of our 2 Evo's. I have tried the charger in several cars, and same result. Not sure, but I'm guessing they are putting out incrementally less than 1A.
Not sure if that keeps the phone from triggering "quick charge" mode or not.
I just got 2 HTC car chargers from ebay, sent from Hong Kong. It says o/p:5.0V-2A so im not sure if I should use them.. here is what they look like.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170511321504&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Does anyone have a OEM car charger? I would like to know how many amps it puts out. The wall charger is 1A so will 2A kill it? I sure wouldent use it much only if needed.
I have a charger from iGo, works great and has swappable tips so you can use it with other phones or devices, think it was $15-20 with a free tip.

Can someone here confirm that this does deliver the full 1A? There is a review on Amazon from an EVO owner who says his phone sees this as USB and not AC charging.

If you were trying to draw three amps from a 2-amp capacity charger, you could damage the charger. However, a device that draws 1 amp from a 2-amp charger will draw one amp. Chargers don't push more amperage than is demanded: it's up to what the charging device is drawing. You and your device will be fine in having "too much" charger.
Thanks so much for the info. So this charger should work great then when I start using the sprint nav or google maps.

Just received two in the mail.
FAIL
Recognized as USB charging in my car.
plus 1 for resurrecting a dead thread
I bought an off brand one (looks about identical) in a respectable local supermarket. It claimed 1.5A.. so overspecced (and no there's nothing wrong with overspeccing, devices won't draw more power than they can handle so long as the input voltage is correct).
Like the previous poster's belkin experience, my korean SGS (shw-m110s) saw it as a usb, not ac. I took it apart and shorted the data pins together, took about 5 minutes). Then it recognized as AC and charged a little faster I think, but still at empty (the fastest time to charge normally) it charges about 1% (1.5 mAh) in 2 minutes(.033 hours).. which is just under 500mA charge rate (450 but well within the measurement error and 10% loss seems quite reasonable anyway). Anyway, sure as heck isn't able to draw 1A off of it. The wall charger which is supposedly only 700 mA charges several times faster actually! (which is probably quite safe at low charge levels, but sure seems like alot more than 700mA too me, but I didn't measure it as well).
I suspect this gizmo was never actually meant to output 1.5A (as it's not configured as a quick charger) or if it does, it only does it with large losses, and an internal voltage drop that's too excessive for the SGS to still be capable of actually pulling that much current.
Wish I knew what to buy.
I Have been using the official palm charger since June. I picked it up at sprint corporate store or radio shack. It is rated for 1 amp and come with a nice short micro usb.
If I were buying today I would go with one of the Platinum branded items Best Buys sells. I saw them for the first time last night so they must be new. So far I have purchased the Pt branded case for EVO and 2 different mounting kits. All of their stuff seems top quality. The have a 2 amp single usb and a 3 amp dual usb model that I saw.

So I've heard that the 2014 will be using a lithium polymer battery and requires 7+ hours to get a full charge. Also I've heard that it's bad to keep lithium polymer's fully charged all the time.
So I thought a good solution might be to get a portable charger, but looking at some I've found that at least one (the Anker Astro E3) cannot charge Asus and Samsung tablets.
Do any of you know of a good charger to have? I want one where I won't have to worry about keeping it fully charged for extended periods of time.
I would say anything that has close to a 2 amp output would be best. The car chargers are hard to come buy with that output but I found this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8MMZY8/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Not sure if it will charge the Note 2014 but it is probably your best bet in a car charger for a tablet. I will test when I get the tablet but it charges my phone super fast due to it being a 2 amp output. Not sure what my phone is drawing from it but it charges it like its plugged into the OEM wall charger. I try to only buy 2 amp chargers nowadays. It's also only $9.99! Thats much less than what I paid! :victory:

Will do. How much are you looking to spend? The one I linked looks nice, but considering it's capacity I dont' know if I'll really need that much so I'll wind up with another device which will probably end up degrading as well. The Anker Astro E3 looked like what I was looking for but apparently it doesn't work it Asus and Samsung tablets. :\

I've read that some portable chargers Ike that don't charge tablets because the require a higher amp output than what phones need. I just got a good deal on the energizer one and it just so happened to work. I will prob wait for reviews to see which ones work with tablets. I think I've read the Note 2014 uses a lithium polymer battery instead of lithium ion...not sure how that will change things. Considering its decent battery life and long charge time I will most likely use it during the day and evening and charge it at night for now. I just want a battery backup for vacations and travel.

Yea that was my plan, but apparently it's not good to keep li-poly's at 100% capacity. It's best to keep it in the 40-80& range (from what someone else on this board has reported. So I'm thinking of getting this one:
http://www.amazon.com/14400mAh-Mult...id=1380857834&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+astro+pro
I'll probably get this one if anything. That way I can charge this thing over night and keep my Note 10.1 2014 in the 40-80% range.
As an update I'm deciding between these three which all advertise to be able to charge Samsung Tablets.

I'd suppose it would work if you got a galaxy charging adapter. it shorts the two pins that allow for rapid charging. I'm pretty sure a trickle charge would work fine.

The tablet is 8000 mah. You have to calculate the efficiency with the batteries.
Lets say the battery is 10,000 mah with 80% efficiency.
10,000 * .8 = 8000
That is only one full charge.
My battery is 12,000. So it can charge the tablet and a phone once.

Just for clarification, you are charging the Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 edt right? In the product description under the header "Optimal Use" it says,
"The iPod nano, Samsung and Asus tablets and some GPS and Bluetooth devices are not supported."
Doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but it probably won't work as well as it could with say, the Astro Pro or 2nd gen Astro 3 models which explicitly say they can work with Samsung tablets.
So basically im looking for a good wireless charger. I want something that charges fast too. any recommendations?
How about this?

I've been using this LG charger with my Nexus 4 since January and it has been flawless. Works great with my Nexus 7 as well. Highly recommend it.
I'm looking to buy the DT-910 as it props the device upright so I can use the nexus as bedroom clock. The other wireless charging thread has a couple of users that say it works well. There is also a link to cheap dt-900 (similar to what you linked) by you need to buy 3 to get it cheap and it's in the US. I'm UK based so no use to me.

just a question: the 900/910 stops charging when reach 100%?
I bought this Kookpad wireless charger off Amazon and had it waiting when my phone arrived on Monday. You can get it in white or black. It is very placement insensitive. I ordered a 2nd one last night so I could have one at the office.

When I got my N5, I used a HP Touchpad AC charger (up to 2.0 Amp output), this USB current measuring device http://dx.com/p/usb-av-usb-power-current-voltage-tester-translucent-blue-silver-235090, and then measured the input current to my Note 2, Nexus 5, and then Koolpad (linked on my previous post) with my Nexus 5 charging on it. The battery was about 55% charged so we were definitely in the constant current section of the battery charge (maximum current). The results were.
Note 2 Input current = 1.28A
Nexus 5 Input current = 1.08A
Koolpad (charging Nexus 5) Input current = 1.09A
The tranfser of power between the Qi charger and N5 isn't 100% efficient so the current into the N5 is something less than 1.09A. Guessing efficiency is 70-90% so that would mean 700mA to 900mA (0.7A - 0.9A) into the N5. I have only had the phone since Monday, but the charging time seems to be very similar between using a cord and the Koolpad Qi charger.
That is the only Qi charger I have tested so far. I don't know how others compare. While researching Qi chargers, I had read some people post that the Nokia DT-900 charged on the slower side..... no data to back that up.
Do these alle work fine with cases?
What about the samsung qi charger ?

I've order the nokia dt-900, when will arrive i will make test of time charge, temperature.
Anyway the wirless charger is not 100% efficient...if you search for a faster charge, use a 2,3a USB charger. (Remind the lion battery, for safe and longevity, have to be charge at Max the mah of the battery it self. So a 1000mah battery, Max 1a charger)
I got the Zens wireless charger from Shop Android. When it came I fell in love with the design and ordered 2 more for a total of 3 to have around the house. BIggest mistake ever. I also have the old Zens charger and the samsung S4 charger and the new zens is the only one that gets super hot. Don't know why but when I take the phone off its on fire. Sucks too because now I have 3 of these.

There's definitely some quality control issues with the Nokia chargers, but I can't imagine them saying you'd have to buy another. Their service is outstanding (experienced with multiple defective 920s) and I can't imagine they'd just go tell you to kick rocks.

Well, it was the equivalent. I had to pay $15 to ship it there (I had to use UPS, I couldn't just use a $5 flat rate box). then $10 for them to look at it, then free shipping on the way back. That's $25. I can buy another charger for that money.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I didn't actually "buy" the charger. It just came with my 920 from att. That was their reasoning behind me paying shipping charges.
First I thought to buy the Google one, but it just to small, and I need 2, for nexus 5 & 7, then I thought, why not to kill 2 rabbits, with 1 bullet, and buy a dual charger, the ZENS looks good, and big, so tablet not look out of place, any other recommendations?

The zen is consider ok, any charger with 7 coils tends to be little weaker, if you can find a 3 coils charger that is the best bet.
Of all the dual qi chargers i've tested, the yijieneng Q300 first generation version is the best, using it right now for the past 2 years, charges everything I have whiles other chargers has had problems of some sort.
This charger is hard to find, and the newer version are just load of crap, with reducing cost meaning cheaper component and very unreliable.
I ended up buying the ZENS, just for the size, and it works great with nexus 5 & 7 of mine.

The descrption on the box states all the info, maxell is also a rebadged version of the zens, or a japanese version known as sanwa.
The zens contains a total of 14 coils, 2 for each charging area.
Also note, all 7 coil chargers will need a dedicated charger, they will not run on USB.
A good charger is worth considering is the powerqi which has 3 coils and is powered using USB, you can find more information is the main note 3 wireless charging thread.
Im currently looking for a charging combo where i can put my phone (oneplus 6) and the watch in/on at the same time.

I've seen the samsung galaxy charger duo which charges both the phone and the watch, and there are also a couple of alternatives on amazon if you search for duo wireless chargers
One of the main reasons I pre-ordered my Galaxy Watch here in the UK was that it not only came with the standard single wireless charger that everyone gets, but it also came with a free Duo wireless charger! The Duo is OK, though I'm a bit surprised it used micro USB rather than USB C for power and that the section to put your watch on isn't magnetic like the single standard wireless charger is (I guess it's not so critical because its horizontal rather than vertical).
Both charging areas of the Duo have "fast charging" written on them, though is the Galaxy Watch even capable of that? I think the retail price of the Duo (89 pounds in the UK) is scandalously high - it's probably worth about a third of that. Single Qi chargers can be found for 10 pounds or less, so to charge 9 times that for a Duo is ridiculous.
Im guessing your right, but im looking for an alternative that wont charge your phone wireless too (because the op6 hasnt got wireless charging though)
Same here, I have a Nexus5x (and no plan to buy a Samsung phone any time soon).
I might end up 3d printing a stand with usb-c for my phone. I just need to find some good Galaxy Watch charger for that.

That actually seems like a pretty good idea. If you do try and do this, you could share the model you used for the charger. Thanks in advance!

I honestly wouldn't expect an Apple charger to be compatible with anything but Apple.
I was in a Samsung Store and they have the Galaxy Watches on Display on the Chargers that look Great.
I would like to know How and Where and How Much.
How can I find the Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand that I can Purchase?
Where is it Available to be able to Purchase?
How Much is the Official Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand?
If Anyone Know then Please let Me know.
