spec me a car charger!

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before, but i couldnt find anything! I'm basically looking for a car charger to charge my HD2 in the car. I've looked on ebay but they all seem rather cheap? are these ok to use?

Anything with a micro USB plug would do, as long as it has 1000mA output. Motorola has one that will work well with HD2.
Alternatively, you could buy a DC to USB adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter and then use a micro USB cable to connect your phone. Again, make sure the adapter is rated 1000mA. My advice, stay away from cheap ebay stuff when purchasing power supplies. Not worth risking your phone's battery or worst just to save a few dollars imho.

Example of a result of using cheap chargers in the car ...

Could i just buy one of these and use the usb to micro usb cable that came with the hd2?

i just ordered one of these 2 amp ones from amazon uk.

A bit dramatic aren't we...

If you want one which should be reliable:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hd2-cc-c200-micro-usb-car-charger-p22081.htm
I would stay away from the cheap ones too. Not because of risks to phone or car (in practice both should be fine), just because they probably wont last as long.
Belkin are a big brand and should be fine (although I have had a belkin mains adapter fail with my touch pro). Yes, It would work with your htc micro usb cable (thats why they put a usb socket on!).

I like that idea, perfect for the car, or when traveling in rentals or other peoples cars.

That is exactly the one I am using! Loving the tiny size, too
Get one now!
Free Man, the BalckBerry charger should work well, too.

Correct me if I am wrong but when you charge the phone via the computer's USB port, as far as i know, the max output you can take is 500mAh. So I guess it is fine even with 500mAh car chargers..

Well, yes it is OK to charge with 500mA, but then how much time have you got? I have tested a few chargers rated 500 mA and got the message that it needs more juice while shooting a video in the car... I guess if time is not an issue and the phone just sits there idle, a 500mA charger will be OK. However, if you use it for navigation it will struggle to keep topping up your battery.

motorola p513
it is ok this car charger? i found that it is an 5V @ 850 mA. If it is not enough i will cancel the order.

Go with a 1A (1000Ma) Output. That is what the original charger is. I used a Blackberry charger at .5A and it would take 24H to charge a dead battery while the phone is turned on.

For those of us going from a Nokia small pin to HD2 with Nokia car chargers already, this looks good. Jumper

there is a kensington car charger that is nice and small too, with a tapered end which is more likely to fit compared to the square end belkin version (see amazon reviews), but the charge output is only 700mA not a 1000mA. See here

Wireless charge

Thanks

I have found this, but this is for lumia. ..

Not all LG G2s can wireless charge. Supported mostly on Verizon G2s If I recall. Any Qi compatible charger would work.

I have D802 Italian....
I have read in the specs of the 802, that it is compatible with standardi qi wireless....but i have some doubt....

Hi all,
I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a wireless charger compatible with the LG2 D802, please ?
I saw in the net this things but i don't know if i need to add this to my phone for the wireless charger...
Best regards.

+1 any news please ? Thank

Yes that micro usb QI charger will work with the G2. It sticks onto the back of the phone, or you may fit it between the phone and a case.
The charge will be between 0.4mah and 1mah which is slower then using the cable and plug supplied by LG,

Well, thank you for the advice.
But can you tell me what is the best solution for an Qi wireless charger for the LG2 d802, please ?
Best regards.

Are you asking if your phone supports wireless charging or what charger to use? If it's already wireless capable, any QI charger will work. If it's not you'll need to add a module like the one you posted and use it with any QI charger you want. There's separate threads on chargers already open, take a look at them for suggestions.

I believe ONLY the VS980 Verizon model has Qi Charging. I have a Verizon model and charge off of the Nokia Charger from post 2, a Samsung S4 Qi Charger plate, and a cheap $10 Qi Chinese brand Qi plate. All work differently but work.
If you have another version of the LG G2 (non-Verizon) then you have to use the Universal Receiver Module from post #5. Several people have used it and confirmed it works.
Qi Wireless Charging is always slower then a fast charge USB charge. It is Faster then a slow standard 5v 500mAh charge though.
The Universal Receiver Module has a thickness that won't allow the super ultra thin feather cases to work. You'll need a TPU case or other to cover it up. The Nokia Qi Chargers are my favorite. They have a barrel plug for power, which sucks, but they have a very awesome placement sensors. Most Qi Chargers require placing the phone in a specific spot before it will sync up. The Nokia has several Qi transmitters in it so it is pretty easy to just drop and go.
AT&T Wireless had those Nokia chargers on sale for $5. I bought 2 (Office and Work). I use my Samsung microUSB Charging plate for travel.

Hi, thank you for yours replies !
At the moment I'm not at home so I will check your links when I comeback. But I see if I put the universal receiver module into my phone then I can't plug anymore my usb cable. I said that because if I want to switch from my normal usb charger and the universal module, I must need to unplug the universal receiver module, no ? Or it's exist an universal receiver with a usb plug integrated ?
For your info I have the QuickWindow case for the LG2. I hope it's compatible...
Thank you for your advices !
Best regards.

wireless charging pad for Verizon LG G2 VS980
I just received this wireless charging pad and it actually works! Only $3.48 USD with free shipping!!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281513176459
It doesn't come with AC adapter, only microUSB cable. It also doesn't seem to work with fast 2 amp AC adapters. I had to use an old 1A adapter. It doesn't affect speed since wireless is 1A maximum anyway. Just make sure have an old 1A adapter before you buy.

I have 3 of the Qi wireless TYLT chargers. They are great - they sit at a perfect angle to put on your nightstand or desk. They were pricey, but I got a 50% off coupon a while back and have 2 for our nightstands (husband and wife) and 1 for me at the office.

Thanks for this. I always looked for 2.1 or 2.4 amp chargers. I didn't know about the other certification.

I bought an Aukey one from amazon, works great

Yes, the other three port are all supporting 2.4A, the total watt for this charger is 54w , the most powerful car charger i have ever seen, and yes, the certification is important, because we don't want to risk our car with low quality car chargers.

yes, but this don't support quick charge 2.0, and as far as i know, samsung offer an QI wireless pad with fast charge support (15W) for the note 5, however,it is not for car, and there is no OEM brand making that.

What cable do you use with it. None of the "Samsung" cables on Amazon seem to be "genuine" and mostly get bad reviews.

Here is the latest car charger I received. As with the others I have reviewed this car charger supports QC 2.0 in both ports. I used it on a 3 hour trip. The charger kept my phone topped off even while using the GPS Navigation and listening to pandora. Check it out! Its 16 dollars.
MOD Edit: Referral links removed

I have a quick charger from Techmatte. It works really well for me, quick charging, and for only $10, you can't beat it.

I just use the cable in the package. I think it is enough and good to use.

I have the Choetech 2.0 car charger. It works good. I didn't even know they had faster car chargers until recently. I have 3 wireless chargers so my phone is usually always charged. I don't like wires but the 2.0 car charger saved me the other day when I was on my phone a lot looking for labor deals. lol I might give the 2.0 car charger to the wife and get a Choetech wireless car charger for me.

Is it safe to charge my note 5 with this power bank ?? And which port should I use ?? 2.4A is safe for my battery ?? Or it will be damaged ??

I use the vodool car charger, it works great for me, and the most important is with good price, I recommend it.

Don't be fooled by 'Charging Rapidly' -my experience w/ 3rd party USB A->C & chargers

Don't be fooled by 'Charging Rapidly' -my experience w/ 3rd party USB A->C & chargers
The 5X is my first USB type C device and first device with Charge / Rapid charge capability. I knew 1 charger wasn't going to cut it so prior to my 5X arriving I retooled my home, office, and car with new chargers and cables. I set out to retool my home, office, and car with new chargers and adapter cables. For the chargers I looked for anything that was certified by Qualcomm as Quick Charge 2.0 compliant. Most chargers come with a USB type A to micro USB adapter by default so I knew I needed adapter cables as well. I figured any USB 3.0 or 3.1 compatible Type A to Type C cable would be fine if it was made well and didn't break the bank. Benson Leung has enlightened us that all USB Type A to C adapters aren't made the same and my experience supports his. Below I've included the combinations of chargers and cables I've tried with my 5X and my observations.
I'm not an EE and don't have access to fancy measurement devices that Benson may have access to so my account is a very unscientific one. The biggest takeaway I have to share is that seeing 'Charging Rapidly' on your lock screen is not the best indicator of a fast charge rate nor does 'Charging' indicate a slow charge rate. It's pretty clear to me the conditions in which 'Charging Rapidly' shows up have little to do with charge rate at all. I'd love to know in detail what the firmware is seeing (or not seeing) when 'Charging' vs 'Charging Rapidly' shows up. If anyone knows please chime in.

The last two rows really took me by surprise. I expected the i-Orange cable to indicate 'Charging Rapidly' with all chargers but it didn't yet it's charge rate was nearly doulbe that of a cable and charger combination that reported 'Charging Rapidly'. So the BuyCheapCables USB cables are going back. While they are well made their charge rate doesn't measure up. I'm sure there's better chargers out there but I'm cutting my losses. I'll add the data from the FriEQ cables when I get them this weekend as well as the charging stats from the Tronsmart car charger, which I think Benson stated is not on his good list.

Someone is putting a lot of effort into compiling a list of good USB Type C to A adpaters here:

USB-C Charger replacement options?

I bought a Nexus 5x from the USA, but I live in the UK. I will therefore need to replace the wall charger when it arrives.
For my old Nexus 5 I use an iPad charger. This is fast, and adaptable, since I travel a lot, I can switch the figure of 8 input on the iPad charger to whatever country I am in, and it allows me to carry only one charger and switch between Nexus and iPad charging.
I realise that the old iPad charger will be quite slow to charge my new nexus 5x. I would like a replacement that is at least as dependable as my iPad charger, but with the usb-c standard. The perfect charger would have swappable plugs, like the iPad, with a usb-c AND standard usb 2/3 ports.
Any ideas?

Nobody found an alternative to this yet? Is it at least possible to buy a standard, genuine, nexus 5x charger with a uk plug?

Can't you just use an outlet adapter?

I now have my US plug and a clumsy US->UK adapter. Not the perfect solution:

I assume that a host of USB-C plugs will come out in the next few months. I am still craving that Apple charger functionality.

I ordered Googles charger, its compact and has a long/slim cable. Recommended!
I have the eu-plug but it should be available in UK model...

I only bought and adapter
Well, I had a Moto X 2014 with quick charger and I lost it, so my replacement was the 5X. In order to keep my previous chargers I bought a micro usb -> Usb C adapter. It's works pretty well for both charging and data transfer and isn't that expensive and you can still use your previous charger.

Remember that the OEM charger has an output of 3.0A so you might use a big charger, like the one of an IPAD or S6.

From what I understand though, the old USB formats are not capable of delivering 3.0A. It has to be USB-C. Adapters will turn your charge to 2.5A maximum.
I might be wrong, but have read a few things that suggest this. With my official Google charger I can charge my Nexus 5x fully in about 30 minutes.

I believe you are right, it might not charge at 3.0 A, but it did a good job with my 2.4A Aukey charger. I didn't measure the charging time, but it's aceptable. I can run some tests if your are still interest.

I eventually went for the official Google wired charger. My multi-function figure of 8 USB-c charger dreams will have to wait.

You can just get a USB C adapter that will let you use your old phone cables - http://www.amazon.com/TechMatte-Con...&qid=1452787474&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+c+adapter

No. This will only charge at old USB ampage (and therefore speed).

I'm curious if anyone has tried these likely fake 5V/3A chargers from ebay?
e.g. Genuine 5V/3A Fast Charger AC Wall Adapter Type C Cable F LG Nexus 5X H791 H790

That looks great except.... I live in the UK.
My perfect charger would be something like this, but with a modular plug - like the Apple chargers - with a figure of 8 input compatible with these.

this one's pretty good (just don't charge 3 devices at once)

search for Choetech on Amazon UK

I'm in the same/similar boat as I've got a nexus 5x with the wrong country's charger-type - With the little adapter-things that just change the plug on the older micro-USB cables, is there a danger of cheap ones such as this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mi...333069?hash=item2ca48e09cd:g:LDgAAOSwFGNWSUtf damaging the charger into which it is plugged, or worse yet the actual phone? What would be the cheapest *safe* cable which would charge the nexus 5x off any standard USB A port (ie. older chargers or a computer) (even at slower speed) as I have a lot of older chargers around and like to keep them at a few places so getting one cable is the best way to do this.

I already own an Anker multi port charger, and have just bought the new one which has 1 USB C port and 4 standard USB ports with a total out put of 40W. The USB C port is rated at 3A and charges my 5x quickly. The other ports are 2.4A maximum and I have had no problems charging several devices simultaneously, Its a little smaller than a cigarette packet and has the figure 8 socket for change of power lead when travelling.
Thoroughly recommended
