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...

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

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.

Hey everyone,
I'm planning on buying a car charger for my phone soon as I take a lot of road trips and now that I finally have a phone with navigation I thought this would be really handy to have.
My question is: What is the best cell phone charger? What should I be looking for? I hear that some chargers can burn out the battery if left in for too long.
Also, I'd like a charger that would be able to power my ipod as well.
Thanks!

The answer your question is there regardless.
The answer to your question is a bit more involved than yes or no, and involves USB standards.
Perhaps it should be moved ... not my call to make.

You haven't by chance verified that the $1.70 cable fits well in the Captivate slot?
I only ask because I have a mini-to-micro USB adapter I'm using with a mini USB cable right now and it appears to fit in fine. Unfortunately in reality the plastic around the male piece blocks it from slotting in fully and I have to fiddle with it to ensure it's in well enough to charge. Moving the phone in the slightest can dislodge it and sever the connection.
I'd like to buy this cable to work with my current home/car USB chargers but wanted to make sure it wouldn't have the same issue.

It's not the over charging that's the problem, it's the functioning
AT&T not as good as Samsung
I bought the AT&T branded Captivate car charger at the AT&T store, but I've noticed that it doesn't fit into the phone's slot as smoothly as the wall charger that came with the phone. Because of battery power decrease problems, I've just ordered another wall charger from the Samsung website (for use at work) instead of getting a 'generic' one from AT&T.

I just got mine as well. Fits right in. The glowing Motorola logo is kind of annoying though.
I need a buy a new car charger anyway so I want to get the most capable one for the HTC 10. I suspect that would include the quickcharge 3.0 spec and a USB-C port?
Will there be any benefit to QC3 over USB-C compared to QC2 and a USB-A to USB-C cable?
I've looked on Amazon but I don't see anything that appears to fit the bill. Are there any other phones out now that have both QC3 and USB-C that we can gain experience from? I know the Nexus 5x and 6p has USB-C, but they don't have QC3, right?
Look for Tronsmart chargers (QuickCharge3.0) over aliexpress, might take a few weeks to deliver but the product is nice and cheap.
Even better if available over ebay/amazon.
I've just ordered this one from Amazon in readiness.

This one on Amazon seems to fit your suggestion. $20 on Amazon Prime seems like a decent deal.

EDIT: In fact, it's an even better deal at $11 with discount code "USBCCHAR". I just ordered one.
I don't think you'll notice much difference.
HTC deliveres also an USB A to C cable with the 10.
There is a maximum of charging speed and I think you can get that also with an USB A to C.

That would be the cheapest thing that you can get delivered quickly; Aukey is another economical option that you can check.
Aliexpress ones sell for cheaper usually (or even half the cost during sale) but those take alot of time to deliver (it being shipped from China via standard international shipping).

I would choose Anker on Amazon if I want to buy a QC 3.0.
I love tronsmart products because it has lots of models:http://www.tronsmart.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-car-chargers From 1 port to 3 ports, USB A port to Type-C port.
Easiest way would be to take a look at the Qualcomm QC certified list. It's a great starting point.
Also the list has direct links to product pages which is certainly a nice touch.
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
Because if it's certified "by Qualcomm" (UL really), I'd say it's up to snuff..
Of course the list isn't updated instantly but rather monthly, so when new devices and accessories (or power controllers) roll out, and they pass the certification process, they'll be added there eventually.
I follow
https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts
for his tested products and I think everyone will be fine.
Qualcomm has a list as well

I'd be careful with these..
"Dodocool" doesn't have any accessories listed in Qualcomm's certified accessories list. (PDF)
No QC3.0 accessory OR QC2.0 accessory.
Their products do seem OK but I'm personally not gonna trust any manufacturer for example being my QC3.0 charger unless they have something on that list, at least some product that shows they have actually made something that complied with Qualcomm's standard, especially since that list isn't updated daily rather monthly.
P.S. That's a wall charger and this thread is about car chargers and besides, the 10 ships with a QC3.0 wall charger.
Edit: Now I actually looked at the Dodocool QC3.0 wall charger reviews, this one has pictures and NO UL LOGO hence it's not UL listed hence it's not certified.
I would avoid it. Might be perfectly fine and fully compliant OR it could kill your dog and burn your house down etcetera.

I've got a lot of devices that use micro usb, and several quick charge adapters and hubs.
From my understanding the OP3 will only quick charge when using the specific charger and cable that comes with it.
Now I'm wondering if I'll no longer be able to charge while driving and using GPS... only true quick charge seems to catch up to that kind of drain.
Anyone have an idea how this might work?

I too heard that only its own charger will charge it, but with root and custom kernels I can only imagine it'll get open to any usb-c cable
It would still charge with any cable but not at "Dash" rate!
OnePlus AMA on Reddit they say there are Power Management chips built into the Chargers so doubtful of it being opened up to any USB-C cable at Dash Charge rates.

Nope not true at all. Any charger with a USB-C cable will charge this phone. Confirmed by Andrew on Android central
I submitted a question on what kind of usb type C connector they used. I'm wondering if they circumvented the "official" type C connection in order to implement their dash charging tech.
Get the £25 Car Charger that will stop problems with drain.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Okay, reading through the thread, I feel like I can give you some definitive answers, and maybe solutions as well.
1) The Dash charging management IS offloaded to the charger. This means that only a charger with the built in functionality will trigger Dash charging safely. However, they WILL be selling accessories for cars, walls, etc. Might be available now. Keep checking, and if you're really curious you can call them and find out if they have any plans for the above.
2) ANY USB-C cable will charge the device, but not at QuickCharge/Dash speeds. This isn't a matter of triggering it in the device via software; the device is missing the hardware to make this work without the proper chargers. So it WILL charge, but at normal speeds.
(That being said, I ADVISE AGAINST using any charger that's not branded for the device. These things can and have caught fire and gone boom, and there's a reason they test the **** out of them before releasing them into the wild. The kid in China making $2/hr does not get paid enough to care if you die, so that's your responsibility.)
3) The inclusion of quickcharging means you can get to a destination with a plug and be reasonably charged within an hour. Unless you're a trucker, you'll probably just need to carry a charger around with you if it becomes THAT much of an issue, or keep one at your destination (I do this with my HTC 10, since i only have one plug. Works fine, lasts overnight and the 1 hr train ride to work.)
Hope this helps.
I have a nexus 5x that has usb-c with no issues. I use the stock power brick to charge and bought a respectable anker usb to usb-c cable for my pc. Can use that to adapt to my car charger to. You shouldnt have any issues. When my op3 gets here ill still use the same anker cable.
I've been using the Anker 4.8A / 24W car charger for at least a year and have (quick charged) my Note 4, LG G4, Moto G, and other devices without any problems. But I've never owned a USB-c device, so I'm weary about using it.
I honestly don't want to spend another $100 on an extra adapter, cable, and car charger just to make it a little more convenient!
Well, while it is type C, and can charge at 2.1amps, it is also wise to understand the factory charger and cable are capable of so much more. It is essentially OPPO's VOOC, which takes the heat out of the device into the charger and pushes about 20 watts, even while the phone is active.
The below video (i came across) has a great comparison.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAS76EZ87dc
I don't wanna start new theme. So quick question. Does this usb-c support any hub with hdmi, full usb 3.0 (or2.0)and usb-c charging?
Keep in mind USB-C is the new standard, everything next year will be USB-C. So whats the difference between spending $100 on new chargers now or $100 next year when it is the only choice you have?
Also a quick google-foo shows there are several USB-C to HDMI/USB/USB-C adapters

Thanks for that info. I have to look that article up. I just wonder will is have USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 to Rapid Charge. I now know that not every smartphone that has a USB-C port rapid charges. Neither my Nextbit Robin nor HTC 10 do, and I later found out they weren't USB-C Power Delivery 2.0 compliant.
Not sure why you refer to USB-C to HDMI or DP but OP3 does not have video out support.
Think I'll just take the hit on my wallet and buy a spare Oneplus dash charger. I'm slightly annoyed they went for a protected system, when Apple did it we were unhappy, so far I've not seen the community complain about this new Oneplus 'feature'.

I was going to complain, but then I did the research on DASH/VOOC and realized it is best in class, better than anything on the market to date. Quickly Charge with little heat... I'll pay 30 for a 2nd charger. And if I am in a bind, I'll just use normal USB C and suffer as I do now with my 1+1.
My only grr moment is seeing a car charger is $30.

sorry did not see this. the oneplus 3 charges at a much slower speed using the stock nexus 6p charger. i checked
I use the dash charger at home and a standard 2.1A Capdase Power adapter in the car and a 2.1A Capdase Wall Adapter at work. Obviously only the Oneplus Dash Charger Charges at lightning speeds. But to be honest.the other chargers also do faster than normal charging. Im comparing from my oneplus 2 that one used to take forever to charge. I get a full charge with the dash charger in say abt 45 to 50 mins. And with the normal charger in about 1hr 30 mins. Which is still quite fast IMO. Oneplus 2 used to charge completely in about 3 hours. Im using the oneplus 3 cable with the Dash charger. The Oneplus 2 Cable in my car and an UltraProlink USB to Type C cable at work.
Tldr. Dash charger works super fast. Other normal chargers work just fine.

Thanks for checking. Excuse my lateness. I had a feeling that would be the case because it charges severly slower with my USB-C Rapid Wall Chargers.

That's great, It takes me about 70-72 minutes for a full charge from 0-100%. On top of the speed, I really appreciate that it doesn't overheat. I feel more confident with any smartphone that doesn't overheat while charging.
Has anyone found any cheaper option or alternatives to warp chargers and cables? I know that I am able to get 15W using PD, but I wanted to know if it was possible? I was thinking on getting those cables that support Huawei and Oppo fast charging protocol and test them, but I realized that most of them uses 5A instead of OP 6A

Lots of options:

I just both 2 sets (warp charger EU + dash cable 1m) with 13.28 $/piece. From China.
$19 shipped to the US. Just submitted the order
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000019048273.html
For reference, I purchased one of the Chinese second-party "original" warp chargers for the Oneplus 7 pro (specifically, this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Official-O...var=691546290084&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649). The Ebay one was $26.99 with taxes/shipping. By comparison, through the OnePlus website, a warp charger brick by itself is $29.99, and then a 100cm warp cable is $19.99 and a 150cm warp cable is $24.99. Plus, if your order is under $100, another $6.99 for standard shipping or $9.99 for express shipping.
I also purchased a device that plugs into the wall outlet and measures the wattage being drawn from the outlet by a plugged in device. With the warp charger that came in the box with my OP7P, at 20% battery, the measurement would show that it was pulling 36 watts for a couple of minutes. Once it got to the 35%~ charged area, it would drop down to 27 watts, then at the 40-50% area, it would drop down to 22.5 watts until about 80%, when it would drop to 17 watts.
I also tested the Ebay second-party OP7P warp charger I bought through that link. My guess is that all of the ebay sellers and the options from AliExpress are coming from the same, or similar place. With the second party warp charger, at 20% battery, the measuring tool would show a max draw of 28 watts. By 35-40% charge, it would drop to 22 watts, and pretty soon after that it would drop to around 17 watts (maybe at 50% or 60%). I ran this test in two separate buildings, with the same results.
I also noticed that the USB-A side of the warp cable that came with the Ebay warp charger didn't fit as smoothly into the warp charging block. However, it did seem to take on most of the heat from the charging as the warp charging block is designed to do.
Since the Ebay one does 80-90% of what the Oneplus warp charger does for half the price, I'm just going to keep it and use it and hope that some better, cheaper and effective alternatives come out in the future.
I forgot to mention, i both 2 US warp chargers with EU adapter plug.
The European warp it's more than twice the price. I both 1 earlier with 26 $, now it's above 28 $. Only charger, without cable!

Ordered 8/22 and was delivered to AZ on 9/3. Warp charge works! Slightly different branding on the power block
Anyone found any good warp car chargers?

Or you could try this cool looking car charger with Amp and voltage display on the cable connector. Cool idea. But doesn't support Warp charging.

You can also buy a Chromebook USB type C charger from Amazon. I know the type C charger (has a three prong wall plug) that came with my Chromebook charges my Note 9 three times as fast as Samsung's OEM charger. Even without fast charge switched on.
I assume it will work the same for my OnePlus 7 pro.
So, yeah. Chromebook type C charger = OnePlus Warp Charger.
Just got this one for $22.48 from Amazon. Works great.

Bought the same one and it just arrived today.
Looks and feels a lot like the original charger.
I'd be hard pressed to tell which cable is the original if mixed up.
