[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ecomaniac:
Guys, unless you mod the usb adapter 5V spec, you aren't doing squat with a "high power" adapter. The device has an input impedence that will draw a certain amount of current at 5v., and that's it.

Standard battery: 1400 mAh

Time to charge: 4 hrs (according to manual)

That's 1400/4 = 350 mA.

Most adapters on the market spec more than that, they're usually 500 mA or above. And again, unless you boost the volts, you're not going to be able to push more than 350 mA or so.

So don't waste you're money.

On the other hand, if your going to share a car outlet with another device like mp3 or ipod, then yeah, you'll need a higher output, two port, adapter.

Edit: It just occurred to me that if you're using the phone heavily while charging, then yeah you may need more than 500 mA. My currrent widget shows the phone can draw another 250 mA or so during use. That plus the charge totals to around 600 mA. But depending upon design, the phone may not be able to pull in all 600 mA. A test with a current meter would be real interesting.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] rcpa:
The charger shipped with the Thunderbolt is a 1 Amp charger.

If I use a 500 mA charger the Current Widget shows a +450mA charge current. However if I use the 1A charger, I get a charge current of about +850mA.

Given that the google navigation gobbles over 400mA when running, you need a car charger with greater than 500mA capacity of you want the phone to charge at the same time.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] JoKu:
Good to hear, I ordered one today for $11 on ebay. I had heard other people say they liked that one too.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
You're making the incorrect assumptions that the charging rate is constant, and charging is 100% efficient. Li-ion batteries can be charged at up to a 1C rate (i.e. 1.4A for a 1400 mA cell). Add the power drawn by the phone itself, and a 1.8 Amp charger might not be unreasonable (1.8 A is the specified limit for micro USB connectors). Whether the phone will actually do a maximum rate charge, I don't know.

This, from a TI Application Note (Google for SLAA287, board won't let me post links):

Monoprice has Cig to USB(1A) chargers and the USB to Micro cables in multiple lengths(I ordered 6' ones) for far cheaper than you will find anywhere else
[Thunderbolt Accessories] moosez3:
very useful, thanks!
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ERIFNOMI:
I second monoprice.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] eccenpix:
I tried bunch of cig to usb car charger and none matched advertised output... They all showed Charging (USB). I now use AC inverter and it charges just like a wall charger.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
I suspect you need to find one which properly follows the USB Battery Charging Specification. That link is to the most recent version, which came out on 7Dec2010 (remember Pearl Harbor!). Version 1.1 is easier - a Dedicated Charging Port is indicated by shorting together the data lines (the two middle conductors on a full sized USB connector. By doing so, it indicates the device may try to draw up to 1.8 A of current (although a dedicated charging port is allowed to limit the current to less than that, it must provide at least 1.5 A).

I bought a cheap USB hub with 5 ports, used an exacto knife to cut the traces going to the data lines (the middle two) on all the ports, and then shorted them together on each port. It's now no longer a USB hub, but a USB charger with 5 ports I can used to charge stuff (phone and Bluetooth, quite often). The AC adapter which it came with does 2 Amps. My Thunderbolt says "Charging (AC)" when plugged into it.

So, if you can open up one of your adapters, just solder a jumper between the middle two contacts (make sure they're not connected to anything else).
[Thunderbolt Accessories] kierandill:
Just got the Rocketfish premium microUSB at Best Buy and it has a captive coiled cord and a USB port. TBolt says "AC plugged" and reads +670 mA.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] digitalscars:
how do you tell what mA your phone is charging/running at ?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Lelouche:
I'm using CurrentWidget.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] digitalscars:
thank you. works great, been looking around for something like this for curiosity
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Raf.Lee:
Where does it say the +mA on the phone itself? Is it an app?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] OneStepAhead:
the ipad car charges go up to 2.1a, i have a dual port one that also has a 1a port. Your phone won't accept higher then 1a though.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] mike.s:
The best app I've found is Battery Monitor Widget. Note that all of them report the battery current, not the phone current. If your phone is in a car dock, and the widget says the phone is charging at 600 mA, you're drawing closer to 900-1000 from the power source, 600 mA is going to the battery and 300-400 to the phone.

(I see about a 300-400 mA draw from battery in car mode, with GPS continuously active)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Topher227:
+3 on the rapid motorola charger. Bought two on Friday and got them Saturday. (amazon prime) Can't beat the price!!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Yeah i aske the support guys they said there was no plan for an app update of the youtube app yet... But they said they reported the bug. And Ill ask in a few weeks what the status is. It should be peanuts to fix it for MS but now its just very sloppy, and they should not work like this if they want Nokia to do well, they should test the phones and apps on all languages and regions.

But just wait and see they will take care of it Im sure

[Xoom General] patass:
So I had my xoom connected to my friend's big tv at his apartment yesterday, and his room mate tripped over the cable, and broke it. Like, he pulled the metal micro hdmi part out of it's plastic housing and it was bent at an angle. Also all the contacts are messed up.

The port on the xoom looks fine. I went to radioshack today to test it with a cable there while I wait for another 10 footer from Monoprice, and I'm not sure about the results.

I dont know if it was the cable they had, the tv I was using it on, or the xoom, but this is what was happening. When pushed fully hard in, it seemed ok for the most part. Some times when I pushed down on the cable (the same way it was ripped out) the audio would crackle and the screen would turn green. It also had to be fully all the way in for anything to display. I put on Die Hard and moved around with my xoom and it kept the image and audio fine.

With my old cable, sometimes it would (somewhat randomly?) lose the connection and I'd have to fidget with the cable. I dont know if that's carrying over here and getting amplified because I'm using a worse cable and tv.

How durable are micro hdmi ports? I know the link cable prots on the game boy advances were VERY easy to snap off (i've done it) and micro usb and other similar ports are easily broken if you drop the device while it's plugged in or something.
[Xoom General] @prime:
I have had several full size HDMI ports fail on me on other devices in the past and the behavior you are describing sounds like the port and not the cable. My guess is that it was damaged when the room mate tripped over it. To be honest though, if you were having problems before, you probably had a bad port to begin with. I would it take back and get it replaced if you are still able. Just omit the tripping story hehe.
[Xoom General] patass:
yeah i got another one. it's charging now. I had a problem with the charging indicator not changing from white to green on my last one, seeing if this has the same issue.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bimmer323:
I was a bit paranoid about it as well.....never forget that sticky in the Eris Dev thread "CWR will Brick your phone".

I had a scare with it in the beginning with it not clearing data and therefore wouldn't restore a nand backup. But read through the "CWR Problems" thread on the Dev section which includes a trick in the op to make sure things work properly.

Since then, I've restored/backed up/cleared/flashed and all with no problems at all. Takes a little getting used to, especially with no trackball but it's pretty much the same as amon.

Are there any Thunderbolt ROMs with Sense stripped out? I'm considering a move to Verizon but I'm spoiled by CM7 in my Inspire. CM7 weighs in at 80mb where the stock Sense ROM is 275mb which insane bloat. If there's a ROM without Sense I'd love to go that route.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sincerity:
yes d00d......
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:

But to answer your question Tesla Coil is as close as you are going to get to a non Sense ROM at this point.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aostl:
They r all sense based now. There are roms without rosie and a bunch of sense apps, but they still need sense kernels etc..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdanko:
I know you can't completely remove Sense because these a-holes have buried it pretty deeply. But there are some Sense-based ROMs for the Inspire with most of Sense stripped out. I'd be happy with something like that. Sense is a public nuisance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
If you want a truly aosp experience you will have to wait for cm7. This is an htc branded phone so obviously they will ship it with sense. That's how they differentiate themselves. Surprised that would cause you to label them a-holes. Also please bear in mind that aosp kernels need to appear as well.

Finally, I'm surprised at how some people hate sense. Personally, I love the widgets, look and feel of sense a lot more. I find aosp roms too bare bones and homely and bereft of nice widgets etc. Sense 2.0 with phone finder, remote phone lock are really worth trying.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suzook:
Yea, totally agree. If you dont like sense...DONT get an HTC!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdanko:
I call them a-holes because they force us to use an ugly skin that we don't like. All of these manufacturers should have a bare-bones ROM available to people who DON'T WANT their custom skin. Ship the phone with your skin but make it an option. The fact that they have added 200mb of crap is ludicrous. I get this figure from an AOSP ROM weighing in at 80MB while the stock ROM is ~275.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdanko:
MANY others.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdanko:
I disagree. We should not be forced to use a vendor's skin in order to enjoy Android. With only the Nexus phones being free from all this crap we're limited. These vendors really need to listen to the customers.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
The g1 and g2 are without sense as well

Most people enjoy sense. Atleast those who know nothing of android

I prefer sense to aosp but that's my opinion, to each his own

And to say don't buy a HTC phone because u don't like sense is stupid, I buy HTC phones for the build quality and great over all.phones

My last 5 phones were HTC phones and I plan to keep this trend going
