I am looking to purchase the USB charge cord for the m9 my old m7 cords don't work. is there anyone that can point me in the direction where to buy spare USB charge cables? They must be known to work for the m9

You can buy the quickcharge 2.0 charger like i did and that comes with a cable. If not target sells usb cables with their belkin car chargers. I have used those in the past and they work pretty well.
htc quckcharge 2.0

this charger really is super fast. Charges my phone from near flat to 100% in about an hour.

Hey y'all,
I was in the AT&T store the other day getting a replacement for my wall charger (it died and they replaced it under the warranty, nice guys) and they told me not to use any other USB cable with my phone because the Motorola one is special.
They say it charges faster and maybe does other things better too, although they didn't really say what else. Is there any truth to this, or were they just trying to sell more cables?
they are trying to sell more cables...
I got a cable from ebay for my car with a 90 degree tip so i can charge the phone while using it as a navigation device. it surely wasn't a Motorola cable but works great. I have also used other peoples chargers and cables, I think I had an issue only once where I borrowed the cable from a friend and the cable didn't want to charge, don't know what that was about, didn't play with it enough to figure it out, may have been a defective cable. but basically it comes down to, the charger is putting out 5 volts, if the cable carries all 5 volts to the device and doesn't loose any, it will work fine. Also there are only 2 pins in the cable that are used for charging, one for (-) and one for (+). those pins are all the same for every usb charger or a computer. also phones with that type connector are wired to receive the charge only through those 2 pins. Thus, all of them are made the same. The only thing that manufacturers will do is change the gauge of the wire being used in the cable, but with a 3 foot long cable, and only 1amp of power maximum traveling through it, it just doesn't matter
hope I was some kind of help to you...
Hey! I was also thinking that in my mind but couldn't express. I thought everyone will think I'm getting crazy! Buy my atrix full charges in just 1.5/1.45 hours with the Motorola's Official Wall Charger & USB Cable. I haven't seen any phone that charges that fast! The battery backup of this phone is awesome! 2days with moderate use & 4.5 days with normal use. Aweomeeeeeee!
I use the Factory cable at home, and an old Blackberry cable at work. No difference in the USB cables performance.
Hi,
Yes, nothing magic...
The Motorola wall plug is 850mA output, a PC USB port is UP TO 500mA and for example the IPhone one (square one) is 1000mA.
So the charging time will be shorter with the IPhone one, then the Motorola and finally the USB port.
As I have already say in another thread, I have connect the +5V of my power supply directly on the USB port, so now, no problem !
Now you know !
I would like to cut the htc usb cable and replace it with a standard micro usb piece. I am just not sure if the charging current of the htc is not to high for other devices like my galaxy s.
For the people who like to ask "why do you want,..."; I don´t like to carry thousands of cable with me and the standard micro usb chargers charge the flyer slowlyer than the original.
thanks for answers
standard usb chargers can only yield 5W, which is why HTC has provided a customized charger for the flyer / view.
you're out of luck. undesirable I know.

You could always perform an experiment. Let us know what happens.

Drives me nuts that they changed the connection. Finding the stupid ExtMicro or what ever they call it is hard. I ordered two last week and I won't get them until the end of this week. If anyone knows where to get them please let me knowing.... I think they come from the UK. You have to be really careful when buying cables, if it doesn't say ExtMicro USB it won't work. I almost bought one at buy.com that said it was for the flyer so I called them I the rep said that all the cables that say HTC flyer won't work unless it says ExtMicro USB. Good luck

The HTC charger supplies 9 volts @ 1.2 amp. Which it clearly states on the label.
This may be too much for some USB devices.
USB chargers supply 5 volts usually at .5 amp.
The Flyer has two batteries inside and really needs the extra power.
The ExtMicro connector is HTC proprietary.
Ok, So will it hurt my Flyer to use a standard Micro USB? I know it's not the correct Voltage and Amperage but it does keep my tab charged while i'm at work.

it won't hurt it.
won;t hurt, but s USB port will not supply enough juice to charge while you have the Flyer on. If you turn it off or off the screen it will charge it......... s l o w l y...

But the different connection has a deeper sense.
Using the original cable, the flyer is charged with 9V @ 1,2Amps, which is about 4-times faster then a standard microUSB can handle.
So changing the connector of the original carger will kill all "normal microUSB" devices.
Nevertheless, a standard microUSB-cable can be used too, but charging will take much longer. Even more, on heavy use, you will get the warning, that the drain of the battery is higher than the charging current.
I don't think the cable matters? I understand that the charger matters as it provides different amount of volt/amperage, but I thought the cable it self merely passes through whatever electricity is provided?
I use the same cable, the one that came with my Kindle to charge my Samsung Focus and the Evo View, and it seems to work just fine - i haven't tried watching a movie while charging, however.

Any regular micro USB will charge the view. It will charge, but it will not charge as fast as it would with the charger it comes with. I have tried charging my rezound with that charger, and it will not charge it, probably because of the huge output. So changing the tip to micro USB would probably work to charge the view, but trying to charge another device with it could probably fry it. There are quite a few places that sell the OEM charger like HTC pedia. Its a bit expensive but I would always recommend using the OEM charger.

A standard USB charger will not charge the Flyer or View while operating. Its simply cannot provide the required supply of 9v @ 1.2 amp. that the Flyer need.
It will s l o w l y charge the Flyer while its off or asleep. And the special connector provides extra contacts to handle the additional current. It's HTC proprietary.

I had the same problem. I broke my gf's Flyer charger. I had a hard time finding a replacement. However, Sprint and ATT carry similar chargers for their HTC tablets, View and Jetstream, respectively, The ATT Jetstream charger is $30 plus tax and the Sprint View charger is $35 plus tax.
The ATT charger is shown as white on their website. The Sprint charger is shown as being black.
Hope this helps.
Hi All,
I have the iBolt dock - but I am having trouble working out which car charger/cable to go with.
My Motorola Atrix power draw was more than my charger was capable of when using GPS/Bluetooth so I don't want to have that situation again.
I have a HTC car charger which is 1A, but are all regular micro usb data cables capable of drawing 1A?
Not too many charge only micro usb cables around. I am looking for something around 6ft in length.

I have also been using 2A chargers exclusively. While using Nav and BT it still charges with all antennas un use. I have been using Xentris (The AC Charger has 6 foot cord) brand exclusively but the micro usb tips can be worn and a wiggle in the wrong direction will not charge...but this is only after time and phone drops...or if a friend borrows.
I did just order this charger with 2 - 2.1A USB ports. It should be here in the next couple of days.
Looking for a 12V DC charger at a local store..
Choices aren't great...
Walmart, Staples, Radio Shack, Target....
I bought one at Walmart for all Samsung devices, but it didn't work..
What should I be looking for...
I tried asking one of the Techs at Staples.. Dumb idiot was useless...
Thanks
I bought this pack about 2 years ago. Always give me a full amp charging. You'll need a good usb cable though.
Edit: can't post links, search Walmart Rayovac usb charger.
12vdc charger and a separate household comes in about $12

What is a good usb cable considered...
i bought a 12v Duarcell USB 2.1 Amp today.
It charges my Galaxy S3. but doesn't charge the i717..
I'm starting to wonder if I need a better cable like you are recommending.

I have a couple cables that work with the AC USB adapter and on my computer..
But they will not work with the 2.1 amp DC usb adapter.
I figured the 2.1 amp would be enough.
What should I be looking for Amp/Watt wise in an adapter...
Thanks

delayed response. the good cable i mentioned would be any charging specific cable where the data pins are shorted to force most phones into ac charging, or any cable with a decent gauge wire in it. i ran into a problem with some really cheap cables that were overheating at the pins due to bad solder joints. The phone showed it was charging but the battery would drop unless the screen was off. It took nearly two days to charge with that cable. The cable didnt feel warm at all, but it had too much resistance to carry the current for the phone.
Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying an Anker Powerline+ USB-C to USB-A 3.0 but I'm not sure if it will work with my device. Has anyone tried that cable?
P.S: The official USB-C cable for the HTC U11 is not available in my country.

Thank you. Maybe I have a faulty USB port because a bought a cheap USB-C cable and it doesn't work, it just shows "slow charging" and it takes up to 5 hours to reach 100% also when I connect it to my PC it shows a message that the device could not be recognized.

Check your power block? If you use a QC compatible block and cable it should fast charge. Try the anker cable

I bought a Quick Charge 3.0 and a USB-C 3.0 and it works perfect. All the problem was related to the cheap cable I bought before.
