Should, my car charger for my Tilt works fine with the Fuze. It's the same connector. I do believe all HTC products have the same connector.

Actually, its just a simple mini usb connector. My Mitac Mio A701 has the same. I am using the same car charger for Mio A701 and HTC touch HD. I use a Kensington USB charger, for 6.99 euros its yours. Then use any normal usb to mini usb cable...

Unfortunately, it's NOT a standard mini usb connector. HTC has a different connector that very much looks like but isn't mini usb. You can't use a mini usb cable with HTC devices.
Here's a picture of HTC connector: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config , as opposed to the mini usb connector (http://www.accesscomms.com.au/reference/usb.htm)
What's true, though, is that all newer HTC devices use the same connector, so you are able to use the cable from any other HTC device you might have.

You are wrong. With the Touch HD comes an ordinary Mini USB cable.
Charging is done by the pins for normal USB. The ExtUSB additional pins are for a headset only.
this is the one I use and it works no problem .....

The connector is compatible with mini usb. It looks different, but you can still use a normal mini usb connector, trust me, it works
I tried the same carcharger on my Touch that I used for my HTCTyTn, it works during navigation and it works good. But at the same time the battery needed a recharge to. The only thing that regonized was that the device was warmingup, but not extremly.
In the past, sometimes, but not always the TyTn get the same warmingup. But never had an real problem with that.
Is that a normal behavior

Could one of you please advice me, whether I can use the same car charger, (not the usb to mini 11 pin USB cable) which I had for my XDA II, for my Touch HD? I am concerned about the output from the charger for XDA II as I don't know whether it is a 5.0V one, as required for Touch HD. Thank you.

As we said before that Touch HD has a USB connector, and USB is ALWAYS 5.0V!

Will that mean that I can use the XDA II's car charger for this,as that has an usb slot, to which I can plug my HD's USB sync cable? Sorry, if I sound stupid. I am a newbie. Thank you very much for your help.
Hi all,
I ordered an original HTC car charger. Because it had an mini usb which looks differently, I called HTC.
They assured me that this charger was ment for the HTC touch HD and could be used without a problem.
The car charger comes with an mini usb plug.
car charger CC C100 HTC

yes, it means you can...and you can use any (mini) usb cable you want too...easy, isn't it? I use a retractable USB cable.

I'm not sure how you guys use even "official" car charger for HTC HD
Look at those pictures ... this link
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
shows you HTC Touch HD socket ... it is straight on one end and bevelled on other end. It is extUSB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31649&d=1164664052
But standard USB socket (even on official car charger listed on expansys site) is bevelled on BOTH ends
http://www.expansys-usa.com/zoompic.aspx?type=item&i=174221
How you guys charge your HD with "standard" USB ? Do you just force standard USB plug into extUSB socket on HD ?

The HD plug is compatible with mini USB. Yes, on the HD it is flat on one side. Don't worry. You can use a regular mini USB charger. There is no forcing there, just look at the pictures...the connection showed there can take "more" than just mini USB, not less. A normal mini USB is bevelled at both sides. on HD it is bevelled on only one side, meaning you can fit there a "bigger" plug (read extmini USB), not a "smaller" plug
Oh, maybe I forgot to mention. I have a HD, and for the last time, you can use all your mini usb connectors on the HD (I use 4 different ones, at work, in car, at home for charging and at home for sync). They all fit, it is compatible...no forcing!!! End of thread....please....?
I made a video for those who do not believe that a miniUSB can plug into extUSB socket -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n05lUtReubU
I use a genuine htc charger which charges quicker than a generic one from the lighter socket. I believe this is because generic charger is at the standard usb 500mah where as the genuine charges at 1000mah and therefore a quicker charge. Note your power supply (the one which plugs into the wall) supplies 1000mah.
By the way, I've used various cables with my phone and although the connectors always fit no problem, that doesn't mean they actually have worked!
For example, I've tried a power supply for an older Orange SPV and was surprised when it refused to charge my TyTnII!?
I've also had other issues with usb connection to my PC where it will charge from the usb port but will not connect to Windows until I change the cable. The cable that didn't work, works perfectly well with other mini usb devices. This was actually from a Belkin 16-in-1 card reader thing... never had much faith in belkin!!

can you take a picture of your mini USB (assuming you have HD)?
My HTC HD has the special connetor. the regular mini USB does not fit into the HD jack.
The only option I see is to get a generic lighter plug with standard usb jack and connect the proprietary cable and stick it in the plug.
But you still beed another cable (one at home and one in your car)
I had the KJAM and it has a standard mini usb - It does not fit in the HD.

I think it would be better if you show us a picture of your mini usb plug, the one that does not fit. That makes more sense than us showing a "regular" mini-usb plug that fits in the htc extusb, which is backwards compatible with mini-usb.
btw, did you watch the video from salcho? that says more than pictures I guess. Please, make a picture of your mini-usb cable and show it to us here.

I have one question, does miniusb cable will fit with this device or need special cable ?
the blueangel has a special port, there are adapters for notebook chargers, which covers a AC-supply generalisation, but there is no standard usb cable to use. i recently got a universal and i have to say i love the mini-usb port, since you can use all new htc accessories and everything you got lying around, i actually sync my device with a cable that came with a card reader, all that, unfortunately, is not possible with the ba
I realised this yesterday after 23:58 Very bad - i don't know where to find original cable or some connector pinout. Even my siemens unlocking cable don't work.
Nothing, phone will stay with german rom, wm2003. Even flashing via sd card not possible
Blue Angel usb cables can easily be found online if you look for them I purchased a couple for 10 dollars or less.
They tended to come with a USB docking station, this is what you'd use to sync it to a computer.
I am selling one, but postage could be an issue...

So I've had my Hero less than a month and the usb lead has deteriorated near the phone's connection end a fair bit.
My question is: Would a normal mini USB lead work in the charger? Also if I bought a standard mini usb as a replacement, does it have any dis-advantages to the official HTC cable / connection?
I've seen a few official HTC Hero connection cables on ebay but a standard mini usb would be a lot cheaper and if it doesn't have any dis-advantages, I might as well just get one of those.
Any help would be great!
i use any mini usb that comes to hand and i still get the same charging as the official usb
so, in short, no it doesnt make a difference
The socket on the Hero has extra pins for audio/video than a normal Mini USB. On the Hero this can be used for connecting a headset or a (second) pair of headphones.
Charging and data transfer do not need the extra pins and can use a normal Mini USB connector.
I don't know why the cable included by HTC has the extended plug with the extra pins, because they don't seem to be used (the other end is a regular USB plug, no headset/headphones). It just means you can't use that cable on any non-HTC device. I just use normal Mini USB cables for it anyhow.
Thanks for the help guys! Very much appreciate it.
Ha. I had no idea you could charge it with standard USB cables until I saw this thread, what great news! I hadn't tried plugging one in until now, just assumed the different shape socket would mean it couldn't work. Excellent.
Hi guys...I juts what to know which kind of data cable do you have for your s740.
a
HTC S740 mini USB Data Cable DC U100? http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172183
or a HTC S740 Data Cable DC U300 (USB/ExtUSB)? http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=172186
and whether it is possible to synchronize the phone using a U100 cable.
Thank you.
You can use any mini usb data cable, I have one from htc, another from a nokia device and one from a video camera and all of them works ok, with no difference.
Indeed, mini USB is a universal standard...pretty much any mini USB cable will work with the Rose, or any other mini USB device for that matter.
Thank you for your reply guys...I have one last question...do you know which cable is included in the box with the phone when you buy it?
A simple generic USB to mini USB cable.

Nop. It's a generic USB to (mini) extUSB.
