This OEM Motorola micro-USB charger is supposedly rated 4.75-5.25V 950mA. Is there any reason it wouldn't work for the Vibrant for a high-draw situation (in-car display-on with navigation)?

Should work. Some posters say that 1amp is not enough for in car nav and charging. They recommend getting the dealextreme 2amp blackberry charger.

Does anyone know if Dealextreme one ships from US or HK? Just need to determine the shipping time-frame.
Thanks.
everything i have ever bought from dealextreme came from somewhere in china and took ****ING FOREVER.

I use that one - it works. It couldn't keep up with wardrive last night though - drained 3% during a 20 minute drive. Haven't checked the charge current yet, maybe it's not pinned out properly for high-rate charging.

Two meanings -- the app I was using, wardrive and the actual activity -- driving around, logging wifi access points with GPS. Very battery intensive, with the constant GPS updates and wifi scans. Here's the outcome -- https://wigle.net/gps/gps/Map/onlinemap2/
Anyway, probably a good comparison to running Nav and maybe some music at the same time.

Got it, thanks. So you're saying a 950 mA isn't enough.. hmm. I have a power inverter, which has a 5V USB output providing 1A. Wonder if that would be a little better.
I was going to recommend this charger, since when using nav and music at the same time, my battery pretty much stayed the same or gained a few percentage, but now I wouldn't recommend it at all since it started burning today. Just my opinion.
I'm gonna buy this charger from Amazon. It's basically the same one you posted, but from Amazon themselves. Since I got prime membership, might as well buy from them and have a piece of mind sine they got good customer service. Oh, there was one reviewer that had this charger with the Vibrant and said it was good, so yeah.

Why would you buy this charger from Amazon, since it's exactly the same as the one that you already have, which started burning?

I was going to ask the same thing. Not encouraging for me, since I have that charger too... Bought from Amazon of course, but unless the ebay auction was for a fake then it doesn't really matter where it came from.
Anyway, it seems like a decent inexpensive charger to me. I'll have to try nav alone on it next time -- wardriving is very battery intensive, so not really a fair test.

Makes sense now... thanks
Regardless of what these charges are rated, my guess is the phone will pull around 800mA. 1.1A if the phone thinks it's a wall charger.
Open the file /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_chg_current with Astro or some other file manager and you'll see the current being pulled.
In the same location, the file charging_source gives the following values:
0 - no power source
1 - usb power source (with limited current per batt_chg_current)
2 - wall power source with higher current in batt_chg_current)
The car chargers I've tried are recognized as USB sources only. Even when taping off the data pins and plugging into a USB port on a computer the phone will still recognize the source as USB. Which means the charge rate is lower, regardless of the charger's rating.
Does anyone know what the power requirements are/will be for the XOOM? I expect it to have a good battery, but I still want to set up or simply buy a solar charging system for when I am not home. I might utilize the barometer to try geocaching.
Also, will it be trickle chargeable over USB?
I have the same question on USB charging. We know it has its own AC charger and special port. I asked on another forum this question and will post back if I hear anything.
Xoom manual is out on the web and it clearly states no charging via USB.

I guess the question now is what is the voltage of the charger. It has a car charger so the voltage is hopefully not high. I want to be able to charge it with my 6.5w solar panel.

If you have not yet tried the iGo tips/chargers, I strongly recommend you consider. Instead of a gazillion chargers, you change the tip. I picked up one for my laptop that works both in my car and house. It came with tips for almost every laptop imaginable so I can let others charge in my car, too. I am guessing one of my laptop tips might work for the xoom. Also the laptop charger has a USB port so I can charge my laptop and a device off so USB at the same time.
It would seem 5V would be the norm. Its the amperage that I am wondering.
We know the ipad in which this tablet draws its battery comparison uses 5V and 2.1amps.
We will find out soon enough

The charger is a 12V 1.5A charger. The tip is not a common one; definitely small and looks like it will break easily. I hope decent options come soon for using the contact dots.

I wonder why they went with this kind of connector. Too bad they didn't spend the money to include some kind of inductive charging system. It wouldn't have increased the cost of the tablet that much, maybe $10 in parts.
I just checked EBay and I found combo silicone case + "micro USB car charger" for the xoom. I wonder if the car charger is legit.
Anyone bought a car charger yet? Motorola's is a bit pricey at $30.

Hey everybody.
I just got my Z3 Compact yesterday and it came with sony's quick charger. That was nice of Sony... Now charging is so quick that it's awesome. <3
However, I plan to get a magnetic charging dock. Perhaps Sony's one or the one by Kosee (search for it on Amazon. I can't post links). I wish to know if there would be any problems if I used the quick charger with the dock? Anybody here with the Kosee dock and using the quick charger with it? I don't want to buy the dock only to get it overheat or something and then become a paperweight in the future. That would be very sad.
Btw, I'm from Canada. Bought the phone right after launch day. My very first, proper, flagship Android phone (I used a Blackberry Curve before). It feels awesome and scary at the same time.

I don't see why there would using it with the dock. Essentially the dock is the same as a normal charger, it only allows your phone to sit in a certain position.

What's the Moto fast charger like?
Btw, when the battery level gets higher, the charging slows down. That's normal, right? I never owned a fast charging device, so I wouldn't know.
Is there any long lasting issues using a Quick Charger as opposed to the normal charger?
also 0-100% how log does it take with the quick charger?
I checked Samsung charger 5V/2A. From 0% to 10% - 10 min, 50% after 1 hour, full after 2,5 hours. I'm going to buy HTC fast charger witch is compatible with Qualcomm's fast charging 2.0 and will try it.

Interesting, the standard Sony charger that comes with the phone only takes around 3 hrs to full charge, saving 30 mins isn't that great, wonder if it can be improved on.
Sony's recommendation is to use the magnetic dock with a wall charger aka EP880/EP881 "quick charger." I regularly charge using a magnetic cable plugged into either a wall charger or USB 3.0 port, and I have not had any issues.
Just a heads up: I've noticed that the lower your battery level is, the faster it charges. As the level gets higher, the charge rate slows down. I've seen my phone go up 1% in 10 seconds (from 4% to 5%). However, when my phone was at 98% it took well over a minute to get to 99%. Maybe the fast charger isn't meant to make your battery fly from 0 to 100% as fast as possible, but to provide a fast (but short) boost when you're close to running out.
I wish I had done proper scientific tests, with apps and timers and stuff. But, I was lazy and chatting on my phone at that time. I can assure you that my above statements are true and not made up to impress people.
Another thing I've learnt: Even the Motorola turbo charger does the same thing. It's even mentioned in their website that the battery level has to be substantially depleted for fast charging. The rate will slow down as battery level goes up.
Yes that's correct, presumably a battery protecting measure, reasoning behind it will be that you may be in a hurry and want to get as much as possible in a short time on a very empty battery, hence the very fast charging at low battery levels.

The dock dont use the microUSB port
You only get the benefit of quick charge 2.0 when plugged in to the usb port on the phone. It has to negotiate the connection through data. Using a quick charger in conjunction with the dock will be exactly as fast as a 2 amp non-qc charger.
Wrong. Dk48 and presumably some magnetic cables ARE qc2.0 compatible. Tested on dk48 - negotiated 9v/1A
Quick charge 2.0 is 9v/1a?
So if I buy the original dock with cable i should have fast charging?
Can you please share charging speeds?
I'm struggling to decide if to buy regular wall charger or buy magnetic. Charging cable

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a power-only microUSB cable to charge my OnePlus One as in my experience, power-only cables have charged my phone much faster than cables that transfer data as well (and this includes the stock charger). I have a tiny micro USB cable (about 10 cm) so I'm looking to buy something longer. Which cables would you recommend?
Thanks in advance!
I have purchased the flipkart smartbuy USB cable worth something around 200₹. Using the original charger, the current output is around 1800-1900 amps. So works fine and take 1.5hours to completely charge phone from 0 to 100%. Here's the link

i've bought a "Rampow" cable of 2 meters from amazon, and i advice everyone to get one, it's a very good quality cable, supports fast chargind, and the best of the best it has a life time warranty, a very good brand. They also have a 1 meter cable but i chose a 2m one because i want to be freeee in my bed lool. With the app "Amper" and with the original charger i get 1700mA because the phone is being used, but when it's shut down it supports 2A

You get 2A but minus the amps that the phone consumes when it's on you'll get 1600-1700 at the begining and the more the battery is charged the less you will get because the more the battery is charged the more it becomes like a resistance so it will get less amps.
The cable i'm talking about is like that too, you can even check the reviews on the net

Even TugaPower™ O (LineageOS 15.1 based ROM) gives full 2A charging current, and available regardless of screen status (on or off) when charging. This is an uncommon feature, and not present in all ROMs. Be aware that you must have a decent cable/charger (possibly the original ones), or you will experience slow charge, caused by random fluctuations in charging current.
Any suggestions? New to the wireless charging. 1st and last device I had that supported it was the Nexus 6 and with a case it didn't work so I gave up.

I've had good luck with choetech products in the past. they have several wireless chargers, haven't tried any of the newer ones but they've pretty much been my go-to since the 6p and switching to usb c
This will be my first wireless charger.
Do we need to buy a certain type/spec or just buy any old wireless charger off of Amazon?
I'd like to find a slim matt-style to lay on my bedroom nightstand to just dump my phone on top of when I go to bed.
So in that sense, I'm fine with super slow charging.

it can do 10w, but in that case the older 5w ones will do. that said, back in the Nexus days I loved having the phone at an angle as a bedside clock (in fact, that's what my n7 is still primarily used for lol) so you may want to consider a stand charger.
So look for a 5W or 10W charger (or something in between), okay cool, thanks.
seriously yeah, I know that little about wireless.
Look for fast charge support and decide on a form factor. The small circles usually have a smaller sweet spot and by being smaller themselves make it easier for your phone to get bumped off of charge by kids, the dog, whatever, bumping the surface the charger is on. I'd consider spending a little more and getting a more stable platform rather than go with the small stuff. As said above if you want to see the phone on charge then you're going to need a vertical charger and you're going to need to decide if you want it in landscape or portrait and get a charger designed for that. If you're looking for a charger for use at a desk or in a working environment I would certainly lean toward upright so you can used your calculator and other tools while on charge. If you just want to flop it down to charge without any use of the phone then the lay flat versions tend to be cheaper.
Just bought two to try out on Amazon. Going to test them out on my Pixel 3 Xl and my ladies iPhone xs. Both chargers were under $20 each.

I just bought a pair of Nanami wireless stands from Amazon, 10 watts. It does do a fast charge, phone says charging rapidly. $26.00 with the charging brick, $16.00 without. I'm using the brick at my PC desk, and it's plugged into a 45 watt charger in my living room. Runs icy cool and really works well.
I say icy cool because I have an older Qi charger. The pad and the phone ran pretty warm which concerned me a bit.
The stand puts it at a nice viewing angle and makes the phone quite usable while charging.
This is NOT a paid endorsement
Lots of positive reviews.
There are standup wireless dock stations??
I need to Google this!
I have this one, it works and since I use it at night I don't care how long it takes to charge my phone.
AP has an article that says the Pixel 3 won't charge at more than 5W unless you have the Pixel stand. That's pretty lame on Google's part. It says the phone reports "charging rapidly" but really isn't. See here .
All of you might as well save your money and just get a decent one limited to 5w because that's what Google limited the pixel to for 3rd part wireless chargers

I can confirm that the Pixel Stand charges faster, but not the other fast wireless chargers that I have. The Seneo wireless charger that I have at my desk at work is only charging at ~500mA in spite of the fact that the phone indicates that it is "charging rapidly". I sincerely hope that Google fixes this and quickly.
