I have an issue charging my phone via a 2 amp 12volt usb outlet. I have tried various micro usb leads which will charge the phone without issue from my computer but with no luck from the 12 volt adapter.
The 12 volt outlet works fine for charging other phones with the same leads, am I overlooking a setting or something?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Shane.

What with having had many many HTC devices over the years I've got a few chargers lying around.
Standard type... 5V 1000mA Mini-USB.
I've bought a couple of Mini to Micro USB adapters and these chargers work, but not properly.
They are registered as charging over USB and not AC, meaning the charging speed is much much slower than using the original AC charger. I don't have an issue using the original but it'd be nice to make use of the chargers I have lying about.
Any ideas why they're being recognised as USB and not AC?
Is there an inncorrect pin translation with the Mini to Micro USB adapters?
I also read another thread where someone using a different Micro USB cable had slower charging speeds, is this related in some way?
According to knowledgable members on other threads, the phone recognises the AC charger when two middle pins are shorted. Perhaps this is a new method for the Desire, and your old chargers dont have the pins shorted, therefore not signalling the phone correctly.
Check the navigation and charging thread.

Is there a way to charge ya phone through the USB as quick as it would charge through the mains?
It takes for ever to charge through USB?
No. Because USB hub doesn't have as much output as charger.
I know standard usb gives 5V
how much does the wall charger give??
I have a freeloader solar charger, and don't know if I can use the 9.5V output on my desire.

It's not the Volts that's the problem its the Amps
The wall charger provides 1A, a USB connection provides 500mA, so half as much.
Ok thanks people
Never tested never heard about but maybe a Y-cable (2 standard A plugs on one side, a micro USB A on the other side) is what you are looking for. It provides the 500 mA from two individual USB ports. However, you have to make sure that both ports can supply 500 mA individually and simultaneously! E.g. a passive USB hub will not work since all USB ports have to share the 500 mA from the host PC. You would need a powered USB hub.
Get a cheap USB cable extender.
Cut it open.
Short the 2 data wires (white and green)
Tape it back up.
Use this in-between your normal USB cable and your USB port.
First, the Nexus wireless charger works fine with its own AC adapter, and also in my car with a USB car charger. Kill-a-watt shows a 6-watt draw, and the "Stay awake while charging" setting is ignored.
But the cable is short and very stiff, so I tried 4 different standard 6' cables and none of them will charge. So is the wireless stock USB cable proprietary?
I noticed many posts about modifying a standard USB cable for charging, but some are misleading as to the purpose. If you plug a modified/proprietary cable in your computer for data transfer are you at risk of shorting the motherboard?
so i have two usb cables and original. 2.0 amp samsung wall charger, the samsung cable i use for wall charger at home so when i setup my s3 as a AP i need constant 2.0 amp from charger keep up with the demand and charge the battery at same time but now i cant do that i have turn off hotpot and leave the phone alone so i can charge. i brought in my car usb cable, and now i can hotpot and charge at the same time no problem, so what is the problem with other cable? i mean cable still works and i still can use it for data transfer etc...
just cant use as heavy demand cable.
I have some cables from the "box o' cables" we seem to collect that have the same issue. Some of them won't keep up with the s3 others won't keep up with my n7. I notice it more with older cables so it seems to me that its the cable breaking down or wear on the contacts inside the connector itself.

You need to use quality charger with 3.0A for that
a good/proper usb-c to usb-a cable is supposed to have a built in resistor to keep the device from pulling too much current through the older usb-a plug, which ofc wasn't designed with the capabilities of usb-c in mind.
therefore you should not be able to charge as fast with said cables, otherwise it wouldn't be too unlikely for your device or charger to get seriously damaged.

To be more precise, the resistor doesn't keep the device from pulling too much current, it tells the device it is connected to a legacy cable and it should limit to .5, .9, or 1.5A. The device can still choose to pull more current if it has alternate means of figuring out the capabilities of the power source. It won't be using facilities within the USB C spec, but it will still work fine.
My bedside combo of a 2.4amp charging brick, anker powerline 10ft micro usb cable, and anker micro usb to usb c adapter gives me quick charging. The cable and adapter also allow data transfer and adb from my macbook pro.

In my experience 5x says "Charging rapidly" around 1.6A. Some of the legacy USB A -> USB C cables (either direct or through micro-usb adapter) can get around 1.6A and 5x will display "Charging rapidly" but this might not be the same rate as the stock USB C native charger with which the device can pull 2.6A for the lower battery ranges like 0-40% before the phone slows down to around 1.8A (and even slower later on in the cycle)

Discovered this after returning my 5x, picking up a 6p, and installing ampere. Still functional as a bedside charger but thanks for the help tho.
