[Q] US charger in EU - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm looking for EU part of charger. Can I buy it separetly? I buy my TP in US and I use adapter, but will be more comfortable without.

I'm sure you can buy it, have you checked HP's site or ebay?

You can use the charger that your TP came with in EU. It's a multi-Voltage charger. All you need is an adapter to turn the two blade US plug to a 2 prong EU plug. I travel to Greece quite a bit and I take my gears with me when I go there. I just make sure that I have the right plug adapter. You can get these for less than a buck from online stores like amazon.

My english is poor. I'm just looking for part from attachment

Yes all you would need is a plug adapter and not a separate transformer since the one included is universal. I don't see where you can get the OEM plug, but you can get a Europe to US plug converter. It just converts the plug pins, there is no transformer. I didn't even know they made these, definitely not NEMA compliant.

Again, have you checked ebay or HP's site?

Yes, I've checked.
I can't found. Now I use universal adapter, but I want to buy original part.
Don't write about universal converter.

You can not just buy that piece.but you can buy the "HP Touchpad intrnational travel kit" which has that piece, on amazon.uk
This is origional Hp Accessory.

I received it today
It comes with no extra charger, so you have to use your old one. It has 2 usb ports, 1 vga, 1 s-video and 1 composite port. Oddly enough it has 2 mini-usb ports. One for syncing and one for charging. I thought that it would be enough with the sync port as it charges as well.
It can be abit fiddly to get the Athena in place,but otherwise it works like a charm. Now I need to figure out how to change the keyboard layout (swedish) and follow up on the mouse pointer issue. After that is sorted out I have a simplistic PC for visually impare (the text is hughe on a 17" screen).

£69.95!!!!! What a rip-off. I know expansys are expensive but that is a joke (sorry). I think I will wait until they filter thru on to ebay.
I bought it from Dustin for SEK 1024 so I don't think it is a rip-off. They do not have a history of over charging. I suspect a device of this price class have expensive acessories. I am a bit disappointed that it doesnt come with a charger.

One seller used to have the have them on ebay at about the same time that expansys used to have them (although I think that they didn't have the second USB port). However, it looked to me like they were withdrawn because suddenly neither expansys nor this ebay seller had any in stock at the same time. Shouldn't be long before they appear on ebay. I seem to recall they were asking about £30 for it but I could be wrong.

Does it come with an audio out? I try to figure out how to enjoy music while using docking station.
Yes, it comes with audio out. I haven't tested it though. Someone in another thread, complained about lack of sound when using the dockingstation.

Yes, it does.
can someone find one a bit cheaper? I'd like it for playing around testing external hard discs and accessories with but 70 quid is ridiculous for internet prices. Must be very few of them or something.......wonder who supplies Expansys as you don't seem to see their items on Ebay.
might require 2 chargers for extra battery
The docking station has two mini-usb ports. One for sync and one for charge. When I attach the charger to the charging port, nothing happens. My conclusion is, that the extra charging port is for the extra battery. This would mean that if you want to charge both the Advantage and an extra battery, you would have to attach an extra charger to it. If this is the case, it is even more odd that the docking station didn't come with a charger.
The only explanation I could find, would be that the mini-usb has a limited power capability and wouldn't be enough to charge both unit and battery.

Joohan
Try to insert only the battery in its slot and switch between the 2 mini USB ports then see what happens.
USB doesnt have enough amps to charge the Ameo as it is, if you look at the mains adapter its a 1 amp output, usb from pc im sure is only half of that at 500 milli amp. the second mini usb may be to attach a second mini usb to get the full charge, I have an external 2.5 HD and it comes with a usb to two mini usb to boost the current. even then it still strugles, without the external mains adapter, which is 1.4 amps.
I could be wrong, just my oppinion, But I notice this when im in the car using usb charger, it keeps everything runnning, "tomtom" but wont really charge it.

This has been discussed before - it depends on the car charger you are using. The one that came with my Brodit holder happily charges the Ameo while using satnav and screen brightness on full.
Bought it for 100 euros and I like it very much!!
It's standing right here on my desk and I use it everyday. Don't want to go without anymore!!

HTC HD2 Wireless (Induction) Charging Available! What You Need To Know

Okay, like a lot of people I have been watching the induction chargers with a keen eye, waiting for a reputable company to deliver a worthwhile solution.
Then I saw that the Duracell MyGrid was on sale on Amazon(.co.uk) for £19.99, with connectors costing £15.99. Brilliant! Right?
There is not a HTC Leo specific connector, but you can purchase a Micro-USB connector which will allow you to charge your HD2 via the MyGrid powermat. At this point, I was reaching for my wallet!
Before purchasing, however, I chose to see if anyone had reviewed the product. Im thankful I did...
It turns out the connector you attach to your device is permanently attached (glued I expect). This means that if you need to replace your phone, you need to buy a new connector. It also means your phone probably won't fit into car handsfree kits anymore.
Now for the killer. It is possible to disconnect the connector from the Micro-USB port, but this is by no means easy and leaves the connector pins vulnerable. This means your Micro-USB port is always in use. Want to plug your phone in on a train? Use a car kit? Use a conventional charger? SYNC/UPDATE FIRMWARE by plugging into a PC? Tough poopie!
In summary: Does an induction charger for the HTC HD2 exist? Yes. But iff you want to do anything with your phoen other than charge it, don't buy one.

Thanks.
looking on the uk part of the site they dont show the hd2 battery cover or a lot of the other things that are on the us site.
anybody got one of these powermats, how long would it take to charge the standard hd2 battery from flat?
i bought one as my usb connector was fried and out of warranty. havent used it for a full charge yet but it seems pretty quick

So, you would say this charger makes no sense? Sorry, but there's no induction charging which works like a WiFi and you can move where you want while charging.

Official car charger

Having looked at a number of UK websites, only one said a USB cable came with the charger. I had been planning on buying an OEM 2 amp charger. Then I saw Clove were saying it came with a spare USB cable so the price of £24.99 didn't seem so bad any more. Got it on Friday and, yes, it did have a USB cable in the pack.
Tried it in my car runing Co-Pilot sat nav and my battery indicator showed that the charge was still going up so I am very pleasedwith it.
Only slightly disappointing thing is that the charger has only one output whereas some of the OEM ones have two, one 2 amp and one 1 amp. However, I tried it with my charger splitter and it still showed the charge was going up.
most cheap usb car charges have a screwable top; just take out the glass fuse and replace it with a 2amp/2000mA fuse which you can get at autozone, radio shack,home depot....pretty much anywhere
Really? if i just change the glass fuse i can use any usb car charge?
Is not dangerous for the electric impiant of the car?
No You can't. It is not the fuse that decides how much current the charger can give.
The fuse just protects the charger from blowing if something fails.
The regulator used in the charger sets the charging current.
true you can buy a regulator at radio shack. i've seen the 7805 for about a buck 50.
Ok, tnx guy!
Go to Best Buy or your local Apple store and pickup the Incase Ipad car charger. I've tested and works just fine with the Tab.

There are generic 2A USB cigarette lighter / car chargers on eBay for a third of the price. Worth trying too
Would you mind posting a pic of the charger?
I just bought Samsungs Car Adapter kit (ECA-P10CBECSTD) from local store, 27.90€.
It comes with cigarette lighter 12/24V usb adapter, 2 Amps 5V output, and a proprietary Samsung Tab usb cable.
A little pricey, ok, but now I have a second usb cable and a car adapter with enough output amps without fuss.

Here's the one from Clove.
Amazon UK are selling the Samsung car charger for £20.83. Pretty good deal with free delivery.
[edit]
Or there's this one also on Amazon for 99p (+£4.50 delivery!) which apparently can charge the Tab. You still need to add in the cost of the proprietary Samsung USB cable though to match the official car charger features, so not much of a bargain really...

That's all fine and dandy Paul but will an individual be bothered contacting officials just for the sake of a few pounds.
No, what I'm saying is why is it not listed..... and if anyone is considering purchasing one I would recommend they save themselves any issues by first contacting the seller to ascertain if the cable is indeed part of the deal.
If you check the item model number it's listed as a charger, nothing further.

OK well I've just ordered one so we'll soon see . The picture on Amazon looks almost identical to the one on Clove. Here's hoping they're the same otherwise I've bought the world's most expensive charger .
Guys, just so you know, you can get very cheap 2A chargers on ebay. The cable problem is still impossible to solve, but I'm sure Hong Kong people are working on it, so it might be best to wait a month and order a cheap replacement cable, rather then paying ridiculous amount of money for Samsung's original cable.
I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...b43hTuXib7JjWUKJhg%3D&viewitem=#ht_1776wt_959
Came in today, and I swear the sync cable it came with is identical to the one my Tab came with, right down to the Samsung logo.
Car charger itself is a 5.0v/2000mA, looks well built, fused, and comes in a very nice retail package.
Considering the cable alone is $29 from my carrier, it's a hell of a deal. I basically bought a cable for $23 and got a car charger for free.
Hey croak that cellet charger doesnt work. it has the charging symbol crossed out... I guess you need to do usb2usb soldering mod to use any 5v2A charger. I saw the thread on here...

Paul,
Any luck with this item?

super vooc charging ??

Just purchased the phone and it will arrive next week,bought from Amazon at €449,
I live in Ireland and we use 3 pin plugs but I will be getting the EU 2 pin plug with the phone,
Is it safe to use the vooc charger in a 3 pin adapter ?
I'm slightly worried about this technology,
I will probably buy an 18 watt UK charger to supplement it son so that the battery is not overcharged on a regular basis
As long as you use the correct voltage it should be fine using converter to 3 pin plug. Mine is EU socket with voltage range from 100-240V 50/60hz.

Cheers ,have a 3 pin adapter that says 240v on it but also says use with shavers only so might find a new one
You can use an adaptor but can't the the cheap ones ! Buy a good one ! You will be ok after that !
I live in Ireland and purchased the phone from Amazon Spain and I have the charger plugged in to an adapter and works no problem the Super Vooc charging works as intended also.
As long as the adapter has 13amp fuse and 240v you will be good to go
As above... Just use a adapter with a 13a fuse as all your looking at doing is allowing the plug to fit a UK socket... There's no voltage conversion involved or needed so don't get a actual voltage converter.

I've seen something like this(attached pic) recommended on other sites so ordered one. It should hold the EU plug securely with a little luck

Having received this black adapter on eBay I can confirm the realms EU plug will not fit into the back of it,you are better getting a UK travel adapter from your local pound shop or hardware store,the ones that plug in from the top,I got one and it works no bother.
Other observations Ive made are that my OnePlus 6T charger works with the phone and the device seems to be charging around 30w and displays vooc in the animation on the device,

Chargers? surprised this thread doesn't exist

So I just ordered the phone but I also realized that I will probably need a new charger and a longer USB-C as well. So would you, dear XDA members, in your ever-infinite wisdom enlighten me as to which chargers/cables are best for this phone?
Why would you need a new charger when there is one bundled with the phone? Any long USBC to USBC cable is fine with the bundled charger.

Because having multiple chargers is convenient and better than moving around with a single one. Also no, they are not the same an Anker powerline series isn't the same as some ****ty $3 Chinese knock off.
How is "moving around with multiple chargers" more convenient than moving around with a single charger?
Might as well carry multiple phones & battery-packs in you rucksack while you are at it!
The "Anker powerline series" are more than likely made in China too.
I wouldn't call the ROG 3 original charger a 'cheap knock-off' or be derogatory towards China.
I enjoy having a charger at my desk, by my bed, and one in the kitchen. While I can walk the charger around, it would be very convenient to simply plug in wherever I am in the house. It also ensures I can leave one in the bag without having to worry about forgetting yet another thing.

I would say to buy another official charger and cable as it is a true problem to find a good charger and a good cable that will allow you to charge your phone the same way as the original one that is of a really good quality.
