Hi
I want to Mount my fire HD 10 on the wall. There should be no charger visible...
I have a flush mounted box with 230v cables directly under the spot where i will mount the tablet...
Is there a cheaper option to this: https://amzn.to/2Sx9KDQ that fits into the wall box and provides USB?

Anybody come across a USB travel charger for the XDA II? I have the USB cable just need a charger that outputs 5v and between 1 and 2amps and has the usual US, UK, EU, Aus and NZ attachements. Expansys.com have one but outputs 5.5v - not sure if that will damage the battery, proporta.com have one also but outputs 9v! Why these chargers don't stick to the standard 5v is beyond me.
not sure what you mean but usb in this context
the connector in the buttom of the xda2 is not a usb connector
and usb cant provide more then 500mA
If you have a usb cable for xda 2 you can acquire a lighter adaptor into which you plug the cable, this will give the correct voltage.

Some power adapters come with USB sockets - I think it should become a standard so with the same cable you can get power from laptop/cigarette lighter/mains. Ericsson used RJ11 cables (modem cable) for it's mobile phone chargers but it never caught on.

Thanks for the link, I have two of them already, looking for something to plug into mains.
Mark,
I think I know what you mean: A plug (either 12v in-car or 110V/230V mains) that supplies just +5V DC on a USB socket.
Received one with my retractable sync'n'charge cable from time168.com (but those guys dont exist anymore).
Also received two with my BT GPS from DConnex.
I would say they are for sale on eBay, at least with the sellers that supply these sync'n'charge cables.
I made an emergency charger myself based on USB: 4 NiMH AA cells (1.2V each) in a battery-holder & wired to a USB socket. Not pretty, but good enough for emergency.
You might want to look at www.javoedge.com. They have a USB retractable sync/charge cable and you can also get adapters that allow you to plug the usb cable into a US/European/wherever plug socket adapter.

I had a look at those - they're not really travel chargers just US and EU chargers and a bulky adapter for the UK.

That sounds like a good idea. Proporta.com have a 9v charger
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=940&t_mode=des but I was thinking AA batteries would be easier to get in an emergency.
Since I only know basic electronics I used 4 rechargeable NiMH cells that gice approx 4.8v alltogether. With normal (alkaline) AA cells you probably end up above 6V. I would not try that . . .
Setback of my solution is to have an AAcharger with me for longer trips.
About the travel adapter: The usb travel adapters I have came in two flavours:
1. Car cigarette lighter use
2. Mains use. I also got a number of 'plugs' with it to make the adaptor fit a variety of mains wall outlets.
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.
Hi guys, do anyone know where to buy this cable?
i modded an adapter that could output a 5V 1.2A current, but i checked on my phone it's only drawing 800ma from the adapter.
i figured i did not short the D+ and D- on the adapter, but when i open up the adapter i see that there's only 2 wires 5V and Gnd.
So i'm thinking of buying a shorted cable to connect to my adapter instead
something like what they are referring to.

I have a cable which plugs into my charging port which then has a usb slot on the end. I want to watch films on my tablet which I can now do but I also need to be able to charge the tablet at the same time. Is there some kind of double socket I can plug into the charger point that I can then use to plug the charger and my existing usb cable into use both at the same time? What would this be called, I've tried searching splitters and adapters but this only seems to come up with car chargers which is not what I need.
Thanks!
I purchased this vehicle fast charger for my Note 5 and it works great to fast charge my Note 5. It has a coiled cord, which I really like, and an LED light that helps you to see at night that you are orienting the micro USB plug properly. It is OOS on Verizon:

But It looks identical to this one on Amazon with a 2 year warranty:
https://www.amazon.com/Strong-Chargers-Charger-Dependable-Motorola/dp/B06WP71XSP
I purchased this $10 micro USB to USB C adapter to use with the vehicle fast charger I already have and it works great to fast charge my S8+. I like that I can have both a micro USB and USB C charger in one since my bluetooth earpieces are all micro USB. The laynard makes it nice to stay attached to the charger so I don't have to go looking for it.

Looks like they sell it on Amazon too:
https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Micro-USB-Type-C-Adapter/dp/B01MU9DF60
It's a bit pricey at $10 but it works to fast charge my S8+ so I didn't have to buy a new charger and it also allows me to have 1 charger in my car for all of my devices.
If you have Amazon Prime and get both the vehicle fast charger for $14 and the adapter for $10, it would come to $24, which is not bad for a vehicle fast charger that can charge both micro USB and USB C devices. The coiled cord is really nice IMO and so is the LED light for when you are charging a micro USB device.
