Does anyone know if there is a mini USB iTip that would work with the Wizard?
Is the mini USB connector pinout standard or specific to the Wizard?

I would try the one for the razr
I have a moto car chargers that is a mini usb so that should work.
I have the Cingular 8125 (wizard) and the igo razr tip does work with it ... as does the original razr charger and car charger.

Note that the iGo.com website suggests power tip A53 for Tmo MDA and Cingular 8125
For razr: power tip A32
Both look like mini-USB to me. Any real differences??
Radio Slack didn't have the recommended one, but did have the Razr one. Will that work for sure without brickifying my MDA?
I have an iGo unit and have used the A29 blackberry tip and the A32 RAZR tip. On the back of the tips at radioshack, you'll notice that the A29 is 5.0V at .6 Amps, and the A32 is 5.0 volts .9 Amps. I don't know what the A53 tip has becuse they don't carry it at the shack yet. I do know that both tips do charge my 8125 with no problems. The RAZR tip is faster, as it's higher current. One thing to keep in mind is that if you use the RAZR tip, you'll be able to use it to charge newer moto BT headsets as well without blowing them up.
My next trick is to get the motorola y-cable that breaks out the mini-usb to a mini-usb and the motorola sade so I can charge teh 8125 and an older HS820 at the same time.
Charger for Wizard
The TripleCharger can power the Wizard in conjunction with the X3 adapter. You can find it here:
http://www.electronicmetro.com/triplecharger-x3-for-audiovox-smt5600-cingular-212.html
The TripleCharger uses adapters to charge different devices, but it can charge in your home, your car, or in emergencies (with 2 9V batteries).
I bought the one that RS specs for the Audiovox SMT5600, works like a charm. HTC makes the 5600 for Audiovox, as far as a know.
HTC & Audiovox 5600
Yes, that's correct. HTC makes the Audiovox 5600, along with some carrier-branded smartphones/PDAs like the T-Mobile MDA/SDA, Cingular 2125 & 8125, Verizon's XV-6700 and Sprint's PPC-6700.
TripleCharger X3 Bundle for HTC smartphones in stock
We've gotten moderate site traffic in the past month from this site, so I thought I'd let everyone know the TripleCharger X3 Bundle for HTC smartphones is now in stock.
This charger can charge/power the HTC Faraday, Feeler, Hurricane, Magician, Prophet, Tornado, Typhoon, and Wizard, as well as their carrier-branded counterparts.

I had bad luck with the A29 tip. I used it once, and the battery completely discharged after about 5 minutes of charging with it (I couldn't charge with a USB cable, I had to find the original wall charger).
I don't know if this was related to the tip or some other problem, but there's no way I'm plugging my 8125 back into the A29 at this point.
Why get this little contraption when there's this on offer?

It uses any USB Charging cable so you can charge anything! Also can use normal power adapters with changeable tips. AND it has a 7200mah battery built in to charge on the go. Nice and not tooo pricey
cya
While that product has the cool feature of an internal battery, it requires far more "clutter" to charge the same amount of devices that the triplecharger can. It also costs more than twice what the triplecharger does, which is $30 US.
I just bought the A53 tip for my 8125. I belive the package said it was 5.2 Volts and 1.2 Amps

What is the max. output current can this gizmo supply? I emailed them more than 2 months ago with this same question and they never replied. :?
Clutter: extra cable required to charge ipod, different extra cable required to charge treo 650 + 700, 6V and 9V "booster" connectors required to increase voltage for various devices, such as cell phones (nokias), bluetooth headsets (jabra), and some other palm PDAs. The device itself is also bulky - its essentially a battery pack and not a "charger," and it can only be recharged via a USB cable.
The TripleCharger can plug into home AC outlets and your car's DC outlet, as well as charge your devices by converting the power from 2 9V batteries for emergency situations.
The device also does not have support for many new devices, including the Motorola PEBL/RAZR/SLVR phones, Motorola Q PDA, new nokia flip phones + the N series, and new verizon + t-mobile samsung phones - all of which the TripleCharger can charge... I consulted the "Compatibility Matrix" PDF file for this information which may not be currently updated, but if this is the case it just shows another reason why this product/company may not provide the best charging solution for tech-savvy consumers who use new devices.
The TripleCharger handles all voltage regulation internally and does not require any boosters or extra cables to charge certain devices. Max output is 9V and more than 1 amp; output levels range from 4-9V depending on which adapter is used with the charger.
I run the website for the company and I check our customer service email accounts daily, and MethodMan I apologize for the communication problem but we never received an email from you. Might have been caught in the spam filter, though - do you remember which account you send mail to?
For future reference, you can send questions to [email protected] to guarentee a quicker response than posting in this forum.
question:
will this work with wizard?
http://www.circuitcity.com/rpsm/oid/97419/rpem/ccd/productDetailReview.do#tabs
the review said "this does not convert currant so make sure your device can handle the voltage requirements. "
will wizard work fine on this?
the note said: Works with most consumer electronics (110V - max 275W, 220V - max 550W). Not for use with high-watt devices such as irons and hair dryers.

Just picked up an unlocked Cingular/ATT 8525, but it only came with the USB synch cord. I know I can charge it with that, but I also have a wall charger and a car charger from my Razor V3 that seems to fit the factory specs in V&A. Would it be safe to use these with the Hermes or should I bite the bullet and get new chargers?
Any USB Charger should do it. All will be 5v at 500mA+.
As the above poster says other chargers at 500mA will work. BUT if you do some searches you will realise that the Hermes charger is 1000mAand in a few circumstances this is a better rating. So if you get the chance to pick up an official one then I suggest you do. There have been problems reported with using under powered non official chargers. For toppping up now and then it's not a problem though.
Mike
They'll work fine. Even if it's 500mA, it will just charge a little slower than the 1000mA OEM charger.
had an imate jam fried by a motorola charger... haven't been game enough to put my jasjam on again... cheers....
i would be very hesitant in using non genuine chargers. there are problems with them in regards to properly charging the unit. do a search and see for yourself on the forum
I used to use a Moto Razr charger with my wiza and my hermes. The only downfall is that if your battery completely dies it cant jump start it to begin the charge.
Is it fine to use a htc touch charger for my jasjam? So any genuine HTC charger that has a mini-USB connection should be fine?

How sensitive is the phone to voltage fluctuations? Just noticed that my old 8125 charger is 5.5V and I also have a Motorola portable charger rated at 5 +/- 0.25V
I got a generic little car charger that works fine... It was "Lazer" brand from china...
Maybe, if you're in Australia you might be able to find it.
Cheers....
yeah, i'm using "Capdase" miniUSB charger [5V 1A]. it charges my hermes [from 10%] to full for ~2h30m
i have been using a motorola a1200 since i picked up this device used and it didnt come with anything
it just takes longer for the device to recognize its charging and it takes longer to fill up the battery
Since HTC Dream isn't for sale here, no accessories are marked to be Dream compatible. There's however lots of Touch (and other HTC models) accessories available. Is it safe to assume that anything that fits the Mini USB of a Touch also works with the Dream? More specifically, chargers (mains and car).

I've used the same mini-USB cable to charge my PS3 controller, my G1, and other devices.
I've personally used, g1 charger, g1 usb cable, BB charger, BB usb cable, moto RAZR charger, standard mini usb.... all of the above are 5V usb spec... only diff for the wall chargers is the aperage...
If your referring to other attachments such as speaker dongles and the like I would venture to say so since the port on the g1 is titled extUSB same as many other HTC phones
Nice - Just what I wanted to hear. Now I can go buy that HTC Touch/TyTN/et al car charger I found at a local shop, and plug it in with confidence. Thanks to all who have responded.

I tried the USB to 3.5 mm adapter, with controls for a handsfree and music (call, end call, mute, hold, play, stop, volume...) that came with my HTC Tytn II, and the G1 didn't react to it...

I used the same MicroUSB to 3.5MM adapter that came with the G1 on my HTC Touch and it worked fine.. it didn't work on my BlackBerry 8830 however, but that one has a 2.5MM headphone out along with a USB out, which i can assume for file transfer.
How big of a difference does the amperage make in temrs of battery life ?
Ex 1 charger I have is 200mah the other 500mah.
Ill assume charging speeds will be different but will this cause any additional wear and tear on battery ?
I wish we had the same thing up in Canada, the Rogers Dream comes with its own proprietary USB dongle on the bottom. So when I lost my phone wall charger I am doomed to PC only charging.

It shouldn't. Anything with a LiIon battery needs a charge controller. The controller's sole job is to monitor the temperature and charge rate as the battery charges and keep it within a certain range. That's why "Battery Info" in spare parts shows the temperature.
It doesn't matter if you're charging from a USB A-to-miniB cable since the G1 will limit the power draw from the charger to 500mA unless the charger has some pins shorted in the USB connector.
Does anyone know if the MiniUSB port on the Dream supports a power OUT function? We are brainstorming ideas on getting flash (as in camera flash) onto the phone, and one idea is with an LED connected to the MiniUSB port

Nope, no power available there. Why not hack it into an extended battery cover? There's lots of room to work, and you could even tap into the battery directly. Just watch out for shorting the battery terminals unless you like your G1 extra crispy.
im moving from my ATT Tilt to the HTC Tilt2, and was wondering if the wall and car chargers from the origional tilt would be compatable with the tilt2?
i hope so, both being HTC products and all, but not sure because of the larger battery size of the tilt2, and if there is a difference in the volt/amp on the chargers...
if this has already been asked, im sorry, i couldnt find it.
No its not the plug is a l ittle different....
I'm using the wall charger that came from my HTC Hermes (AT&T 8525) with my Tilt2 and it's working fine. Also the USB cable/cigarette lighter combo that I used with my Tilt is working fine on the Tilt2.
This charger also worked with the Tilt as well.
Mini-USB has certain restrictions on how much the device can draw in terms of voltage and amps, these restrictions are put in place mainly to prevent USB devices from drawing too much power from PCs (mainly laptops, which may be running off of a battery).
Long story short, yes, your Tilt2 should work fine with the Tilt charger, assuming that they didn't put something extra on the plug (I've never even taken my Tilt charger out of the box).
-- Joe
Same here, since the TyTN, they all take MiniUSB 1Amp chargers. External battery chargers are a different thing however...
I'm using the charger that came with my Wizard since my unbranded phone came with the European charger and a honkin big adapter.
I have 3 HTC phones and all the chargers work with each phone and don't seem to have more or less a charge time. Most mini usb plugs will work with any HTC phone. I have the Tilt, Fuze and Tilt 2.
Yes it should work
thanx all, when i got home i actually looked at the specs on the chanrgers input and output and they were identical
i just didnt care for the charger that came with the tilt2, as a 3 piece unit vs the 1 piece tilt charger that also has a much longer cord...
I use my older wall charger and car charger from my Tilt on my Tilt2, and they both work fine.
I'm with you, I don't like the modular design of the newer wall charger. The old one is simple, and I like that. Seems like HTC was just cheaping out by using the same cord for both the wall charger and phone-to-USB. I've been using the cord to hook up the phone to my PC. But the charger part has not left the plastic bag it came in.
I'd call it Apple'ing up rather than cheaping out. The new charger is a lot like the iPhone's with it's usb/plug-in config... I willl say this, then yield to experts. I've noticed some disconnects while using the old cable for tethering that i do not observe while using the new cable. Could be my specific cables as they are old but I am using the new stuff and even considering buying an AC adapter and a couple new cables with the new plug.
Hi Folks
After digging through mounds of tech docs, I was able to verify that the G-Tab uses the TI TPS658621A power management processor for charging.
Good news - you can plug just about anything into it from 9V up to 18V and it should charge it. Theoretically, it should also support step up charging from USB (trickle charge) but I've yet to prove that. (The power management processor supports it, but it might not be in the hardware.)
Bad news - it's just out of reach for a standard laptop charger (19V) so we still need a converter.
So, if you find a connector that fits it, plug it in. Don't worry about the current draw - as long as it's 1A or GREATER it should work fine (the device won't pull more than an 1A, even though our chargers are spec'd for 2)
Technical specs are available here - http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tps658621d.html
This is awesome info! That means for the car all we need is a fused line to the right plug (center positive of course.)
This is great news, this means that the iGO tip that sends out 19v is safe to be used on the GTab.
Thanks for sharing.

While you might be able to do that, I don't recommend it. If you do it anyway, do yourself a favor and NEVER EVER EVER leave it plugged in while you are starting the car.
From Wikipedia:
A second problem is that nominally "Twelve-Volt" power in cars fluctuates widely. The actual voltage will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant, (less when cold) approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating, (more when cold) and may briefly drop as low as 5-6 volts during engine start.[7] DC/DC converters will usually compensate for these small fluctuations.[citation needed]
Rarely, more extreme cases of voltage fluctuation can occur when the car battery is disconnected while the engine is running, or when the car receives a jump start. When the battery is disconnected, a load dump transient can produce very high voltages. A car receiving a jump start from a truck will be subject to its 24 V electrical system.[8] A "double battery jump-start" is performed by some tow truck drivers in cold climates.[9]
Design wise one has to take into account intermittent contact, and voltages outside the nominal 12 V DC like top voltage 9-16 V continuously, top voltage at 20 V during 1 hour, 24 V during 1 minute, 40 V during 400 ms.[10] Protection component tolerance example ratings are +50 to -60 V DC[11] Besides this there's also varying temperatures between -40 till +85 °C to contend with that can affect humidity and condensation.[10] Equipment connected this way must tolerate large variations in electrical- and climate environment.
For more, look at table 20-1 in http://www.fordemc.com/docs/download/EMC_CS_2009rev1.pdf which is reference [10] in the Wikipedia article. Granted, that's very conservative, but a 1A 12V low drop out regulator is cheap insurance for a piece of kit like our tablets.
Interesting. If you plug in tablet and that part number into Google you get lots of familiar looking pictures:

I agree, and thanks for the info. I do ham radio and already know to not plug things in until the car is running, actually learned that from xda years back from cell phone charging. I also use Anderson Powerpoles for the connections, very highly recommend these. This does mean that given the same precautions I already follow I can make up a nice charging cable pretty easily. And I'll certainly look in to the low voltage protection, just in case.
edit:just saw the call sign, 73s!
well unfortunately I can say that this:

My husband just remembered that we bought a power converter years ago to charge a laptop while traveling in Europe.
Would this work without any problems with the Gtab?
Found the model here: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-jg9JaV...er-Pocket-Inverter-175.html?tab=detailed_info
You mean by plugging in the AC charger to it? Should work fine. The output of the stock charger is about 24W so even if it is grossly inefficient, a 140W power inverter should be fine.
Naturally, I assume no risk, yada yada yada, your mileage may vary, void where prohibited by law.
Hey, if it helps anyone at all, I bought this car adapter from the radio shack and it works well. None of the included tips worked with my Gtab, so I cut the tip off my included wall charger and using two of the adapt-a-plug connectors also available at the shack, I made it so I can use the tip on either my wall charger or my car charger. Just gotta remember to take it with me, and of course get the polarity right. Its a regulated 12 volt charger, so it reduces some of the spikes and drops from the car battery, the amperage is correct, and the on/off switch means you can wait to turn it on until after the car is started. Reduces the amount of plugging and unplugging nicely.

So I apologize for what I'm sure is a dumb question but I don't know squat about electricity.
Will this or will this NOT work with a Igo charger. Deals.woot (today only) has a 90W slimline charger that apparently outputs about 19V. The first post would lead me to believe this will not work while a subsequent one indicates it would.
I'm inclined to believe this WILL NOT work but wanted to check.

Another member reported earlier that he has researched the power management chip on the GTab and it will apparently run up 18v, this justify why many has been using the iGO Asus netbook tip successfully for so long.
Now for the woot deal, I wouldn't bother with a "refurbished" item when you can get the tried and working travel adapter for $18 (shipped) and $20 (for the version with the auto and airplane adapter) there is a confirmed tip that fits the gtab included.

Best of luck,
The first post says the top end is 18V by the data sheet. Where have you seen someone quote 20V?
I've been using an iGo netbook charger for 3 weeks without any problem. I found it on sale at Office Depot for $8 the week before they dropped the GTab price to $300. Three weeks is probably only 7 or 8 charge cycles, but I've paid attention looking for hot spots, etc. and haven't noticed anything. I don't love the stiffness of the cable, but it was $8. I'm not complaining.
My only charging "problem" is that the silly thing wakes up when it hits 100% (VEGAn-TAB Ginger). Having the screen come on at full brightness just when I'm falling asleep was funny the first time, but it's getting annoying that I keep forgetting to power it off.

the end in the tablet itself, or the end with the wire that goes to the wall?
if it's the wire end, you can get new plugs at radioshack. But requires some soldering skill to get them on there.
or you can get a universal 12-18V / 1amp charger with multiple tips.
i am very pleased with my motorola turbo charger that accompany my nexus 6 and i would like a second one (european edition). Where can i find one? (i have searched everywhere i can!!) Any help is appreciated
I'm not sure about European ones but I would check amazon.co.uk or which ever countries amazon you are in. I have 4 Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 chargers (2 Motorola, 1 incipio and 1 power partners) they all work the same so brand doesn't matter as long as it's quick charge 2.0 certified. I would recommend not buying the Motorola version because its expensive compared to other brand and its rather large in comparison. One of my chargers supports the higher voltage (20v quick charge) but no device so far can take advantage of it just yet. I would just search for quick charge 2.0 and see what pops up unless you are dead set on the Motorola one. Below is a picture of the Motorola vs the Power Partners one.
Couple of weeks ago I've bought Aukey turbo charger on Amazon.de.
Seems to work just fine, but comes without micro usb cable, so make sure to
have proper one (for turbo charging) or buy one.
There seems to be a few new options slowly coming onto amazon.
Anker makes a single port charger for like 20 bucks.
Personally I am waiting for someone like anker to make a multi-port charger that supports QC 2.0 across the 4 to 6 charging ports.
Basically this with upgraded internals.

There should be a plethora of quick charge 2.0 compatible chargers since Qualcomm isn't charging a licensing fee to use the technology. Give it time and there will be more. I know in the US there are 30+ different QC 2.0 chargers on Amazon so the other country specific ones should follow suit.
Can anyone tell me if the Samsung Adaptive Fast charger will work as well as a licensed charger? I only want to know because I like the fact that it is all white and a few Amazon reviews point out that some of the aftermarket versions burned out the charger port or phone. I know that the adaptive charger will be faster than others, but will it be as fast as the stock Moto charger?

Its a QC 2.0 charger assuming your talking about the one that comes with the Note 4. It's even on Qualcomms website if you look for it under quick charge form what I remember. It should work just fine, do you have a link to the Amazon page? Its odd how people claim it burned out their outlets but things happen.

Sure: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B00QTJZ3D0/ref=mw_dp_cr?qid=1425351571&sr=8-6
3 on that page. I think there was one on aukey that a person had updated but I can't find it now. I specifically remember it because they had rated a 5 and came back to update it.
I've looked everywhere on the quick charge page. I don't see the note 4 charger on there. They always run half off coupons, so it would be cheap when back in stock, plus it's not a knockoff if you but straight from Sammy. It's weird because it maxes at 2 or 5v I think instead of 9v like the others. (My numbers may be off on voltage but Sammy's is lower than Motorola)
If not, maybe Motorola will run an accessories sale sometime this decade.

I have no issues with the other QC 2.0 chargers that I run. I read those reviews and I personally wouldn't trust that company given the number if people with complaints until they fix what's causing the issues. I have 2 Motorola QC's a Power Partners one and finally a Incipio QC car charger. I haven't had any issues with any of them and the Power Partners one is rated at a max of 30W. I haven't seen my Nexus 6 go beyond 9V personally so the 20V and 12V that it offers won't really matter until devices support that. I would go with one that people have tried without issues to play it safe. If you own a Samsung phone they do give half off when you register it on their site if I remember correctly. Its been a while since I've owned any Samsung phone besides my wife's S5 which we got rid of a while ago. I use my car quick charge daily and I haven't had any issues at all. I stopped caring about seeing how much battery I could squeeze out of my phone and instead I bleed it dry so to speak then quick charge it when it drops below 50%. I carry my spare Moto charger in my backpack and it works fine (I got it for free using a $50 gift card to Motos site) otherwise I wouldn't psy $35 for another one.

I think I read somewhere that they don't even go up to 6, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the insight. I might get a certified, but I would still like to know if the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger will work the same as the Motorola Turbo Charger for the Nexus 6.

Voltages go in steps usually 5,9,12,20V for phone chargers but the actual charging voltage may vary. If I I recall correctly it does charge at 9V but only in certain situations.
Multi-Port charger w/ QC 2.0 capability

Looks like there is one now. Only 2 of the ports have QC 2.0.
