What are the ratings on the Samsung charger?
Is it a micro-USB plug on it?
I don't know the ratings right now. I'm at work but will look them up and post them here when I get home. They had micro-USD jacks on them. Come to think of it I probably have some data cables lying around that I can use too!
Thanks for your help!

But charger & USB sync cable of the Samsung Omnia2 will work 100%, Im using both the Omnia2 and Telstra HD2 right now.

Um... The incredible has a micro-usb port. You can't shove a mini in there.
And the answer is yes and NO. The charge voltage is always the same but different phones use different methods to get signaled for charging. For instance the iphone uses 2.7V across pins 2,3 to signal and 5V across 1,4 as I recall.
You won't do damage using the wrong one though. It just won't work and you'll scratch your head.

His question still asked if he could use a mini usb charger for this phone, and no, he cant. The incred uses a micro-usb port, where a mini will just not fit.

Umm, no he asked "Does anyone know if all mini usb car chargers are the same voltage? Can i use any mini usb cig charger i have?" and larsdennert's answer was a direct answer to that exact question.

the cable you should buy would then be USB A to micro B. Monoprice is sold out- I ended up buying from Amazon, but the shipping was a bit ridiculous
I just ended up getting a charger from wal-mart that was labeled for a Motorola, but it works fine since it is a micro USB
I have alot of motorola mini usb chargers... I bought a micro usb adapter for 6 bucks from radio shack... it charges and works as far as I can tell... only thing I notice is that the motorola is 5v-550mA not 5v-1A ... I dontk know if this will have any long term effect on the batteries... I think it just makes it charge slower
I don't know the difference between micro and mini, but I hope I can use the car charger I recently purchased for my Touch Pro for my new D.I.
I tried using the BB brand car charger and I got a message on my Dinc that I this manufacture was not compatible with the Dinc. WTF?
I've had no problems using any car charger that allows either changing tips (igo) or has a USB port so you plug the correct cable in. I even have an Apple car charger that works as long as I use the correct USB cable.
But now a slightly different question....
I notice the Incredible WALL charger says 5v at 1A, and my WALL chargers for Apple are 5v .5 A, so I assume the Apple charger works for Incredible, only slower charge, but is it same to use the Incredible Charger for the Incredible? I hate traveling with a zillion chargers.
I bought a "HTC" branded car charger from Ebay last week.
I got it in the mail today and it seems to be to be built too cheep to be actual HTC brand.
Is there a way to tell what is actual HTC and what is a second hand knock off?
Im not to sure I want to use this charger on my phone for fear it will get damaged.
Was it shipped from China/HongKong? => it is fake
Was it bought on eBay => it is fake
To be honest, I have never seen a HTC HD2 car charger made by HTC(perhaps it is sold with the car holder?). I need such thing but to be honest, I am also a little bit scared about damaging my phone.
Take some images so we can all take a look.
The HTC version of the car charger has the part that lugs in to the cigarette lighter and then a SEPARATE usb wire that connects to it which then connects to the phone, the wire is not permanently attached to the plug. If you bought one of those adapters that say "HTC" on it and glows (for under $10), you bought a fake.
I've got this item:
pearl.fr/automobile/accessoires-12v/station-de-recharge-usb-allume-cigare_PX1093.html add www before because of the silly antispam regulation
with the usb wire it's work well and I can charge 4 device in the same time (hd2/mp3/buetooh car hand free/gps
great and cheap
anyway 5 Volt is 5 volt and it's working !
Thanks for the replies...
yeah its from Ebay and it has the glowing HTC logo on it. wich = fake.
Oh well. glad I didnt spend a lot on it
guess it will be going into the trash with the packaging it came in. I am NOT going to risk my phone for over this piece of garbage.
thanks for the heads up on the "real" HTC car charger. Will search for one of them instead.

Huh? The official one has a lit HTC logo...
I have the official car mount and it comes with the car charger + cable. It's flat on the USB end and has a backlit HTC above the USB port.
Also, you can buy them separately.
does it work? if so, whats the big deal?
Like someone has asked, get some pictures up so we can inspect it
Charger
Seriously. I bought a Micro USB cable from the store for like 5.99. Been using the same cigarette USB universal charger for everything from GPS, to Tilt 2, to PSP, to bluetooth headsets using the same adaptor. Never had a single problem for about 3-4 years...
HTC=Taiwan
Taiwan=China (depending on who you want to ask)
Hong Kong =China
Hi, I know this is an old discussion, but I haven't found the answer I'm looking for.
I need a good mini-micro usb connector to use in my car. I have an inverter and HTC mini usb charger concealed in my dashboard from when I had my previous HTC devices, and just need to be able to connect it to my HD2.
I have one already, but if there isn't any pressure pulling the cable towards the rear of the device, it stops charging.
Has anyone found an adaptor that will work without this issue?
Thanks.
Steve.
does this help? Bought this on ebay UK a few days ago. Item no is 230429980562
Does it stop charging if you apply any forward pressure to the plug?
The ones I have at the moment are HORRIBLE!
Does anyone know if you can get a seperate usb cable for the streak yet?
I want a spare one so i can keep it in the car, or a longer one because i find the one that comes with the streak to be too short.
Anyway if anyone knows where to get one then could they let me know
Just had a thought while typing.. just buy a usb extension lead...off to buy one to see if it works.
yes Dell sell them on their website mate
Another option is a USB extention cable. I got a 6FT for like $10 at RadioShack. Works great for me, you can also buy the Dell car kit that will work as a backup USB cable.
Is there a way to buy a compatible one?
I live in italy and we can order only from dell.it that obviusly hasn't streak and accessories in their site....

It'd have to be blooming long to use in the car, depending on the car journey

Well it has recently been confirmed that the streaks connection port is a PDMI connection. The Slacker G2 radio also uses a PDMI but no one has tried its cable yet. Specs are one thing but fitting is another. (Think of it how the first iPhone had a 3.5mm headset jack but you had to buy the apple headphones that didn't an elbow and were narrow enough to fit in there.)
So if anybody has, or knows someone that has a Slacker G2, feel free to try the cable out and tell us all

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/08/dell-streaks-proprietary-connector-is-actually-pdmi.html
Images that I can find for the slacker 2 radio charging lead seem to show a standard mini usb connector. Maybe the pdmi connector is data only?
can u use the ones on ebay?
Now i ordered another one from Dell site....
With only one cable, I finally ran out of patience and also constant carrying existing cable from place to place everytime I moved around.....
I have to have one near my bed for reading/charging thru the night....one in the car - which I will carry around to office as well...in the coming months hopefully the price will drop or there will be another source - till then this will do.

I guess it has both. check out this dock for the slacker g2... looks the same.. also looks like the ipod connector so don't know for sure till someone actually tests it out.
oh and here's one on amazon for 27.99
Has anyone found a good car charger that they know works with the Focus? My dad's super-paranoid about my phone, and wants me to have a car charger. The problem, as many of you probably know, is that the Focus seems finnicky about what chargers it gets along with. Does anyone have one that they've tried that works?
I went with the Belkin Micro USB car adapter, works great, especially if you need to charge other USB devices.
This is the charger I used. It's made by Motorola but it works great with the Focus. Plus the LED light is a transparent window which looks awesome. It doesn't quite look like the photo. It's also discounted. I'll probably be ordering a couple more to keep in my other car.

IGO
I use the IGO car charger with the tip for my Samsung Focus. I also have the tip for my wifes Samsung Sync A707. I also had the tip for my FUZE when I was using that. It was nice, we could travel and just bring the additional tip and charge either phone. Works on my Focus very well.
I bought my Focus from Costco and they gave me a free no-name chinese car charger with the phone. I used it only once so far and my phone did not explode or anything, but I don't know if it was actually charging or not. The battery icon had the 'plug' graphic on it, but how can I tell if it was working properly?
I ended up getting a cheap charger off from eBay, it's kind of like the motorola listed that has the USB port. It also came with the USB cable and another house plug-in with the USB port. I travel a lot for the military so I like to have a spare cable and house charger.
i've used a Griffin which has a USB plugin...from my blackberry phone, HTC Tilt2 (winmo 6.5), HTC Aria (android), and will use it on my Focus. but with the battery, i haven't had a need for it yet lol. off the home charger with a full charge at 6:30am...drove to atlanta (well covered 3G area) to Athens (so so 3G) and all the back home down back roads through no name towns (spotty coverage). it's now 5:30 and i'm still showing half a battery gauge. that's with a few calls, plenty of texting, and a lot of web browsing.
damn i love this phone
I use one I got from Costco with my Backflip last year. I figured all micro USB would be fine.
Got a couple Rocketfish ones from Best Buy - work great
IMO, the Belkin is nice because it is low-profile. a very clean looking charging setup. Also can use whatever microusb I have handy rather than some dedicated cable.

Get the OEM charger here. I have had no issue with the MicroUSB connector, unlike my last car charger that just died. Can't beat the price either.
I bought three of these chargers...
I got three of these chargers off amazon. They are oem, but are official motorola and look really nice. They have a translucent window with the M on them that lights up when they are plugged in. They are a steal at less than five dollars. Go here-->http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304549428&sr=8-1-spell.
That's what I got too, just through Amazon for prime 2 day.
