Has anyone found a craddle that could charge a spare battery for the Mini S? Have found so many spare batteries with extra power but no chargers. Its really weird why nobody has thought of bringing out one? I am sure there is a lot of demand. Wonder what the issue could be? Any ideas anyone?
I'm trying to make a charger for my Blue Angel batteries - I find the cradle too big when travelling. I'm thinking of super-glueing electronics board with some solder onto crocodile clips and attaching a USB plug to the end of the wires to be used with a USB charger. I haven't figured out which strips on the battery are positive and negative yet.

By a mistake I charged my Qtek 1010 with a 12V car charger yesterday and now it won't charge. Can I fix this on my own or do I have to send it in for service?
Please help me, I'm running out of battery! Only 30% left.

You will need a circuit tester to trace the charging circuit and to see how much of it is cooked, if you send it for repair I think they may want to charge you for a complete main board which isnt worth doing. Do you have any guarantee. How did you "accidentally" plug a car charger into it? The car charger has a lighter jack, so did you apply the bare wires of an xda cable to the battery charger? That was not a good idea.
I did not apply the bare wires to the battery charger I'm not THAT stupid ]
My car charger was broken and i replaced the the plug with one from my broken Arkon car cit. I just found out that it was 12V.
I have no quarantee since it is over one year since I bought it.

Hi
I have noticed that when using a car charger that worked on my older htc phone it heats up the jade and then it eventualy locks i have to hit the reset button or pull the battery.
has anyone else found this or know of a way round it, I like my old one as it has about a 2m cable whish reaches exactly where i need it to.
has anyone else seen a car charger like this that works with the jade?
cheers

I have a charger from an old O2 phone and it's working fine. I had no problems with car charger so far.
I looked on the mains charger i had with the device and it says output is 5V, I think the car charger is giving out 12V as I think it's just a straight through usb light socket so i wouldn't imagine it's stepping down that much, only problem is i don't like the chargers with curly cables i want a straight cable or a charger that just has a usb socket on it.
any idea where i could find that?
I have another option of adding another lighter socket on the dash of the car near where the phone is but i don't really like drilling holes in the car if i don't have to!
ok a quick google and i have found a 4 usb port 5v car charger so fingers crossed that will sort my problem out.
it's quite cool as it has surge and over load protection for each port so if one shorts out the others carry on working.
Hi,
I already bought 2 car charger kits but non of them fit, they all have a mini USB and not the special one the Jade needs.
Can anyone give me a LINK for a proper car charger, cause on eBay they sell all the mini USB crab which obviously doesn't work!
Thanks!

Whats wrong with the mini usb ones? Thats what I use.
I have looked around eBay for a while now, and all I can find are those external battery chargers that have a built-in powersupply for 110-240V. What I'm looking for is something I have for my dear, old Atom Life (which now seems like a little toy when I look at it...): A charger for a loose battery that could be hooked up to a regular wall or car charger.
Why? Because when I'm in the slopes in the winter, I have one battery charging in the car while I use the other battery to play music and all the other stuff I do when I really ought to pay attention to what's happening in the slopes...which is why I wear a helmet! So has anybody seen something like that for the HD yet?
There are quite a few USB cradles with a slot for charging a spare battery on eBay. They have two USB connections, one is for the phone to sync to the PC the other is for the power supply to the cradle.
For example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-Cradle-w-...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1683|293:1|294:50
You could use that with a 12v to USB adapter and a USB to mini USB lead to power it.
Thanks, I've seen those. But I was really looking for one that only charged the battery and was half the size. I may have to settle for one of these cradles, though. Doesn't seem like they have stuff like this, which I have for the Atom Life:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Momax-Smart-Bat...temQQimsxZ20090716?IMSfp=TL090716142005r13968
EDIT: Although that looks like a cradle with a blanking plug where the cradle would have been.
Thanks! Bought. Have no idea why I didn't see that... Silly me!
And that's the question. Does the Verizon model work well? And by "well," I mean "fast."
I saw a Seido charger in another thread, but there's no way I'm waiting 12 hours for my extended battery to charge.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Multi-Purpose-Universal-Thonderbolt-Revolution/dp/B0058XCV7O
it charges my standard battery in about 2 hours. It even has a usb plug and a micro usb plug so that you can charge your phone while you charge your extra battery. it works with every (android phone) battery i've tried so far. it should work on your extended batteries also. its cheap too!
I've got two of these. Work great!

I also bought the Anker charger but it is a pain to line up the pins each time. I'm terrified I'll short out my expensive batteries!

Thank you. Just bought two for $8.50 total. Hell of a deal!
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Just picked up the Anker charger - beyond happy with it, but I doubt it will last the life of my phone. I was just happy to charge my standard and extended batteries at the same time.
The USB port did not seem to have a full charge pass-through, sort of like charging from a USB adapter in my car. Seems to provide a trickle charge.
Otherwise very happy to have it.
Thanks again guys, for the suggestions.

I have a charger very similar to the one suggested by SamXp. But I got the package deal that comes with a 1500mah battery included, made by HyperCel: (due to the rules I can't post links yet)
The battery was complete garbage IMO, it's not a solid "slab" like the OEM one. The part where the charging pins connect is separate from the cells and pretty much just wrapped in flexible plastic. Definitely not going to trust that in my phone.
I have a question though: I seem to have issues with the touchscreen responsiveness when I'm using USB output charging port. Anyone else seen this? The OEM charger (and my laptop's USB port) don't have this issue. It's annoying because I have to unplug my phone to shut off alarms, answer calls, etc. Does the anker charger have this problem? Could someone who owns one test for me? I've tried with both a generic micro usb cable and the oddly-shaped HTC OEM cable with the same results.

I'll test this as soon as I get the chance and report back to you.

The OEM HTC battery charger is nice...

It has a red charging light and when charging is complete that same light turns white. You will need a microUSB cable...
Is anyone using the charging pins on the back of our wonderful phone?
The genuine Sonim XP8 Single Bay Drop-In Charger seems quite steep on the price, but if there are no alternatives... :crying:
I would like to hear experience of real users, of the genuine charger and alternatives available please.
After spending a minute poking with the USB-C charger (the rubber door being in the way doesn't help) I realized that I will be wanting to use the back charging connectors.
can someone at least tell me the charging time with that charger please?

AT&T has the GPSLockbox single tray charger with slot for a spare battery to charge for around $30. I use that and I prefer it. Just drop it in and let it charge. The dock uses a micro-USB charger and not USB-C
