um, i am aware that any charger that will do 1A will do. that was my question, what car charger will do 1A. Alot of times, they dont have that info listed on pages that are selling them.

and the whole thing about the D- and D+ shorted together, i do not believe. the HTC cable that came with the phone does rapid charging and i use it for data all the time too. if they D- and D+ was shorted, i would not be able to use it for data transfer. not unless the HTC charger shorts them internally inside the charger.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] clintonroche:
Bingo!!

:cool:
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
Yes, it is hard to find the current info online or even on the package sometimes.

Yes, it is shorted in the charger. I have seen it done in the cable and the cable can't be used for data of course. Not sure why anyone would do that, but they do.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] leoingle:
good deal, i think i might try the Socshe stubby charger. i know it is 1A capable
[Thunderbolt Accessories] KidJoe:
For those looking for other options, I got the DroidX/X2 accessory kit from VZW when they had it on sale for $19.99... (I think the price was a mistake, but hey, I couldn't complain because that is all they charged me!).

The Car Charger included is the Moto SPN5400A which says on it... 0-950mA output...

It does a great job with my TB, and the wife's incredible, even when using GPS.

that kit also included a Moto SPN5358A "home" charger (AC plug) which has an output of 850mA. It also works fine to charge.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Jodiuh:
I have this too. Highly recommended!! ;););)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] sslbaron:
Me too! I use it all the time with GPS, Slacker radio, and Bluetooth. It still charges the phone, but as was previously posted, beware because the battery will get HOT! ;)
[Thunderbolt Accessories] teamgreen02:
+1. These are great. I have two and also got my girlfriend one. Works great on my Thunderbolt and works well on my work BB and old EVO. I bought one earlier this month that died within a few days so I just got a replacement for free from Amazon.

Charging while using navigation is no problem as this is a 850 mah charger. Phone should show as charging in ac mode and not usb mode.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] docabe:
Yes

I have the same and agree.

The Motorola car charger mentioned charges my HTC phones very fast. It especially does great with the extended battery.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] CJeep:
Hard to beat the amazon price on that moto charger.

Another alternative is the VZW charger. Got one when I got a new work BB with micro usb. It has the cord and a (standard) usb port in the charger. Since it can charge 2 things at once, I know it is a least 1 amp. Handles the Bolt just fine.

If need be, I can charge 2 things at 500 ma, but rarely do.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] johnnyv5:
I had this charger plugged into the car mount and the connector is coming apart on the charger. So now I just use the USB port on the dang thing.

jv
[Thunderbolt Accessories] ddrj:
So I got this rapid charger from amazon and I think it's TOO good (if that's possible) lol...

I had data + gps + bluetooth + full brightness on with navigation and doggcatcher running and it actually charged my phone from 56% to 68% when I was driving. Compare this to some random no name brand charger I got off amazon in a pack which could barely keep up the charge.

Definitely worth the money I would say
[Thunderbolt Accessories] voxigenboy:
how would that moto car charger compare to using the standard HTC wall charger w/ a power inverter?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] voxigenboy:
i bought one of those from Amazon on the 5th of this month right... shipping from El Monte, CA (near Los Angeles), and i live in San Diego... as of today the tracking # says it's in Carson, CA (still near Los Angeles) and the expected delivery is between the 10th & 15th.

shipping by DHL. lol... what the hell are they doing?.. taking a whole day to move it from one end of the city to the other?...

[EDIT] btw, in case you guys don't know.. it's a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles to San Diego

i did see the charger at a local cell phone shop though but they wanted $24.99 for it and it was in some generic packaging(probably used).

the same store was selling the 2750mAh extended battery for $89.99 when it's at Verizon for $39.99

[Thunderbolt Accessories] singalongjonl:
There are some great deals on ebay, make sure you hit US only or you'll get some crappy knock off brand that takes twice the time to ship.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jweaks:
I just bought two of these and got them for free! I think because I have Amazon Prime. A friend without Prime tried it and it was no go. If you have Prime, give it a try.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] swieder711:
I bought this at my local electronics store for $15.

http://www.amazon.com/Bracketron-Power-Universal-Converter-UGC-257-BL/dp/B0052OVYV8. It say iPad ready and 2.1A output.

I had to short pins 2 and 3. Without shorting the pins the phone would pull 300 mA. With the short the phone pulls 750+ mA. I measured these currents with the Battery Monitor Widget which is a nice little app.

I prefer to use a flat USB to micro cable connected to the charger so that it sits cleanly in my car. I also like the low profile design of the charger.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] matthelm:
Was it very hard to get apart?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] swieder711:
The charger is very easy to take apart. 2 screws on the faceplate. I recall having to take off the label to get to the screws.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] worwig:
I was on a trip a while back in my wifes car. Using the phone GPS I found I was draining the battery more then charging it using the charger that was in her car.

I cut a small piece of aluminum foil, slipped into the charging jack USB plu, just big enough to short the two center pins. Plugged in the USB plug. Magically, it now charged at the high rate and all was well. :cool:

When I got home I just glued the USB cable into the charger, and the little piece of foil keeps it at the high rate. ;)

So if you can't get a charger apart, it can still be bumped up to become a high rate charger.

Went onto a pilot gas station and they have one that also plugs into your house outlet. It chRged my phone while I had GPS Pandora and WiFi going out to two tablets. 24 bucks but so worth it.

[Thunderbolt Accessories] dkindig:
For those that want to roll-their-own, I am in the process of installing high-current USB charging ports in my car.

Parts:

One 50W DC-DC converter, converts 12VDC @ 4.2A to 5VDC @ 10A ($10 shipped on eBay)

Four 100-ohm 1/4W resistors, for bridging D+ and D- (maybe $1 at Radio Shack)

One four-port USB bracket that fits in a desktop PC slot (those slots in the back of the case) ($10 shipped from Amazon)

Connect the DC-DC converter to a 12V source, fuse it for about 5A, haven't sized the wire properly yet but I'm thinking 12-14ga wire.

Unscrew the moulded 4-port USB assembly from the metal bracket, slot your dash/console/whatever accordingly and mount the ports.

Wire the 5V output to all four USB ports power leads, solder 100-ohm resistors to each D+,D- to force the device into high-current mode.

This gives you a high-current charging station in your car that is capable of running up to 2.5A per port across four ports simultaneously.

USB specifications for high-current ports indicate 0-200 ohms resistance across D+/D-. Technically, shorting them should work but I prefer to at least provide a little bit of resistance in the circuit so I picked a middle value. The DC-DC converters contain all the circuitry for voltage regulation, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, over temperature protection, short-circuit protection, ripple filtering, etc, pretty much any kind of conditioning you might want to design into a voltage source.

[HTC Sensation] instechgainza:
I've tried to play my video captured from Htc Sensation but the player unable to play the file format..As htc advertised, just take a video and watch on the big screen (Hd TV or any device with same internet connection)..Is there any settings to change the file output on the video on this phone or any third apps that we can use?
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Same for me, I use my Internet-TV box but can't read the .3gp with it.

So I can play everything on my TV with DNLA excepted the videos I recorded with the Sensation.

One app exists: LG camera, there's a free version on the market. You can record 1080p directly to .mp4 so I can play it on my TV......but I think the video quality using this app is really not good, way under the quality you can have using the stock application of the Sensation and its .3gp format...... :confused:

Hi Guys,

Have the very same problem here. Tried to flash new ROM, phone entered in yellow emergency screen, got an failed error from KDZ and now the phone is dead.

I can not seem to start it, tried any keys combinations but the phone seems to not respond at all.

If i at least could get into an emergency screen or something but...nothing...black screen and no hearth beat

Is this really the end of it?

Much appreciated for a solution here.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvbarton:
Hey all,

I've an interesting issue here... I'm using the stock 354 ROM, rooted (of course), and about once a week, it will reboot and format itself. I turn it on, and it's all in cantonese, and I have to re-setup myself as the user. It's getting frustrating.

I'm thinking this may have something to do with Titanium backup, as I have it set to do a full backup once a week.

Has anyone else had any issue like this?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
354 is not an AT&T ROM, in fact it is customized for Hong Kong. See the wiki.

I suggest that you try 351, which is the latest generic (not customized for a region or carrier) ROM for unlocked Streaks. The latest AT&T ROM (353) is Android 2.2 not 2.2.2.

I have asked developers why they use 354 as the base for custom ROMs and keep getting the answer that it is the "latest", but with no real info. When I get the time I am going to do a comparison of the two.

For full backups I recommend installing StreakMod Recovery and using nandroid. It isn't automated, but it works very well. I backup my phone weekly. My experience with TB has not been great, except for the freeze and remove system app tools.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsnmz:
hi guys,

I know this has been asked already, but all I see are very old threads and a lot has changed since.

Since the Galaxy SII and sensation are available now, so my question is should I buy an Atrix or should i look for other options. I am asking this question here as most of the people are using Atrix and can better tell how the phone is. If given a second chance will you buy Atrix again ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush:
It really depends on the money you want to spend. I got the Atrix for $99 on contract, so it was attractive to me. The higher res display was also a plus for me. When the GB update comes it'll be nice to have the 1080p recording. Also the lapdock function works fantastically for me. I travel a lot and it's nice to be able to use my phone as a laptop and charge it at the same time.

But the Galaxy S2 has a slightly faster CPU, same RAM and the display is leagues ahead in color reproduction. Seriously, looking at them is sort of unnerving because of the ridiculously bright colors.

Otherwise I'm sure they're fairly comparable.

Decide for yourself, then you can't come back here and complain to us when you're not happy. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
well i have had most of the latest android phones out there at the moment and currently have the Atrix.

Things i like about it are...

1. The size, i find that the 4" screen and overall size of the phone are perfect for me, fits great in the hand and i can select most things with one hand.

2. Screen quality is great..more 'natural' than the galaxy s2, just a shame they didnt coat the screen in the same way to resist fingerprints :(

3. Call quality is excellent, audio quality through headphones i find to be really good (i use Klipsch x10) and it sounds great.

4. External speaker is one of the best ive known on a phone, better than the iphone 4 and galaxy s2...yes ive owned both.

5. notification led....many of the current android phones seem to leave this out but im glad the Atrix has one as its really useful.

Things i dont like....

1. 2.2 Froyo....really, along with moto-blur nearly ruin a great phone. The phone really dosent perform like a 2 core phone. However, this can be improved by using an alternative launcher like ADW ex....thats what i am using and makes scrolling between screens much smoother and less laggy.

2. The wait for gingerbread.....Motorola could be onto a big fail like sony ericcson did when they brought out the xperia x10 with android 1.6...it had everything going for it then they slaughterd it with 1.6! crazy!

Other than the fact that it is let down by having froyo i like everything else about the phone..infact i probably find it worse than others might because i have owned the galaxy s2 quite recently (sold because it was too big for me to hold in one hand) and that phone is fantastic. Very smooth and very quick...this really is where the Atrix should be :(

Just my view of course...

will i stick with the Atrix?.......well if gingerbread comes out in the next couple of weeks then there is every chance...if not....well i like the look of the xperia neo :)
