Hi,
i just went thru my second charger and I noticed whenever i plug a charger into my phone, my phone goes crazy. all the menu starts sliding in and out and all the apps starts opening up.
I have no idea what's going on, it just goes crazy!
when i use the USB charger that came with the phone it's fine. But I don't feel like carrying an adapter where ever i go.
does anyone have this problem with 3rd party chargers?
thanks
same problem with HTC HD2, some iPhones,Samsung Corby,... I think that the problem is in capacitive screen and some chargers.
I bought on e-bay USB travel charger for Blackberry Bold 9700 (original and not generic) with extra long cord. Works perfectly with mini pro
I bought a OEM Milestone charger before and I had the same problem.
So i tried X10 generic.
I can't find a OEM X10 charger that is for US.

this one is good quality (original blackberry), and works perfectly with X10 mini/pro. As a plus it has an extra-long shielded cord.

i have the exact same problem and i use the original charger that came with my mini pro.
hi
I am having the same problem but i know the solution and reason. these low quality chargers provide higher voltage than current and hence the problem. You should go for a high quality branded charger. I am using my old hp-ipaq charger with usb data cable for this phone and it works fine. i have also used the same cable with car usb charger from dealextreme and it works fine. Only the cheap ones will give this problem. Also i use that problem charger in case of emergency but i switch of my mobile first. It charges my mobile faster and i believe it will shorten the life of my battery.
I have the same problem with cheap chargers and cables from ebay, but the original charger and cable from SE does not give me any trouble.
I got this from dealextreme and it works great!

I tried once to use the apple charger with a mini usb cable to charge another phone and it didn't work. I think Apple may have messed with the pin outs or something

I don't see how apple could have messed with the pin outs, because the USB A cable that plugs in your pc must have the +5 G Data + and Data - in a specific order for it to work on your pc.
and as far as i can see the 3 pin > usb adapter is just a step down transformer with a Female usb port on it so should work unless its not actually outputting +5v that may be a reason why it didn't work.
ive used a non apple ac to usb one no problems, and i agree with the above, theres no way they could have messed with the pinouts or it wouldnt be usb anymore... i see no reason why it shouldnt work, might have to take one outta the box and try (got a few here at radioshack)
I have tried it and it works...simple really
I use one every night, works for me for charging (but I hate the shiny white color, grawr!) ^_^
Yep, I've tested it and it works just fine.
OTOH, the cheap $4.95 car charger my wife bought online doesn't seem to be able to charge my G1, her Blackberry, or any other phone. The light comes on and the phone says "Charging" but the charge level never actually increases.

I got this for my old TyTn 2 and it works fine with the Dream and the car charger is HTC branded,
The cradle is a little loose for the dream but you use the dash of the car to kind of balance it in and its fine.
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
Tom
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.
hi,
I've got a couple of micro usb car chargers I bought to charge my old samsungs.... but they dont charge my X10.
I've shorted pins 2 and 3 on one of them( d+ and d-) as per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696760&page=2
but it's still not charging my x10, if anything the battery is being drained quicker when plugged in to the car charger
the label states the output on the charger i have shorted is 4.2- 10v @ 600mA, 750mA max
is there something I am missing?
edit: I've read some of the charging threads and discovered the li-poly battery protection circuit is stopping my cheap chargers from working, so it looks like I need to buy genuine sony (Sony an300), I wonder if this is deliberate on sony's part? I thought the whole point of standardising phone chargers to micro usb - is so that they don't go to waste every time you buy a new phone?
I found that using the original micro USB cable (Or a good quality one) and one of these -> Car USB Outlet works better than buying an adapter with the cable already attached.
Such was the case with my X1 and X2 as well.
These newer gen ones are around 700mA instead of 500mA.
Here's another version -> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Black-USB-Car...bleAudio_MP3PlayerCarKits&hash=item3eff8f9886
Hi
I have one of these from Blue unplugged. go to blueunplugged dot com. in the quickcode type 139166. It is a 'Santok STK Car Charger With 1A USB Port'
I worked on my old X1 and with a micro usb cable it works on my X10 too.
I previously had a different device. It got very hot when I was on the phone and using satnav. This one is great. Its not missed a beat.
I think this is the cable, Quickcode 138344. Please check before purchasing though!
sorry can't post URLs.

I use my Motorola car charger and it works fine when my phone has some juice left in the battery. the first time I tried to use it the battery was completely flat and the charger would not work well, though

I bought that one, and it doesn't work with my X10. I have tried other USB devices, and the charger works.
After contacting the vendor (e-cell) they are going to send me another unit, free of charges. But I am not sure if it will work, either.

I bought one the other week to try, it doesn't work with the standard SE cable.
The light on the actual plug comes on but nothing indicates it being plugged in on the phone itself.
I've found no 3rd party in-car chargers work with the X10 and after reading all the problems people had here, I just went and bought an official Sony Ericsson one of eBay for £15. Works perfectly
I think you have to have one that has an output of exactly 700 mAp.
I've tested with higher and lower amperage and nothing worked.
I grabbed an SE AN300 off Play.com and it works with no issue. Looks like I made a trouble-free choice.
Does anyone know if there is an official 2m USB cable available in the UK? I bought a generic one off eBay, but it charges the phone extremely slowly....
I use the 2m cable that came with my kindle 3 and it works as well as the original one

Are you charging the phone from a USB port? If so, it's the limitation of the port, not the cable. Try with a proper charger an it should charge at a more sensible pace.

Charging speed doesn't depend on the cable but on the charger it is used with.

I'm afraid it doesn't work as well for me. I got a Kindle 3 cable, and while it does charge the phone (using the charger which came with the phone), it does it very slowly. So slowly that if I try to use the phone even for basic tasks whilst charging with it the battery still keeps heading south.
If I use the stupidly short cable that came with the phone it charges nice and quick, but every other cable I have used so far either doesn't charge or does so very slowly.
Any ideas as to why this would be?
On a related note, this sounds good, but again the cable looks stupidly short:
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/quick-charger-ep851/
What are you using to charge your phone? An EP-800 or something else? I have a cheap 1500ma charger that seems to take ages to charge my Xperia. The cause was that for a full speed charge, pins 2 and 3 must be bridged. I dismantled the charger and put a tiny blob of solder on the usb port pins. It now charges like a demon.
Same story with my car charger. Before the mod I could actually lose charge when using satnav and streaming music over bluetooth.
I have a battery widget that says whether I am on AC charging or USB charging. Its name eludes me.
Oh, and a safer alternative may be to sacrifice a USB cable and bridge the pins on that.
Better than all those though is the official Blackberry Playbook charger. 2A and a long cable. Charges the phone like nothing else.
Yep, am using an EP-800.
Fortunately the latest cable I ordered works a treat, so I can happily recommend this one:

Double the length, double the resistance of the wire. Assuming the have the same cross-sectional area.
I have been googling the issue but can't find any good answers.
I recently bought an Xperia Sola, but it won't charge from any of my car chargers.
Please note that I have systematically tried to eliminate error sources:
I have 4 different model of car chargers (I have two of a few of them, in total I have 6 USB car chargers), in 3 of them I have soldered to short D+ and D- to make my old HTC Hero use more than 500 mA (chargers can give 1 A or more). The model without the short can only give 500 mA so I haven't modified it.
Now, all four chargers will without problems charge the following devices: My old HTC Hero, my old Zen Vision: M, my daughters ZTE Blade, my sons X10 Mini Pro and my kids iPads. So, the chargers are working, the micro-USB cable works with the Blade and X10 Mini Pro (the Hero, the Zen and the iPads don't have micro-USB).
But my Sola won't even recognize it's connected to a charger.
But the Sola charges fine with half a dozen different wall socket chargers, as well as from the PC USB port and a solar cell battery pack I have.
But not any single of the car chargers I have tried...
So, what does the Sola expect from the car charger that the chargers I have are missing?? I bought car chargers with a USB port to be able to use them for all our stuff that can charger from USB with just different cables, it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola...
I have the same problem! I have USB car charger from DX and it works great on Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy Mini. But Xperia Sola doesn't want even start charging!
Have you tried a car to usb adapter and then use the original cable that comes in the box for the Sola?

I didn't try with Xperia's USB cable. I don't think that the cable can make any difference.
But I also tryed original charger from my Garmin Nuvi 205w and also it can not charge Xperia Sola.
I have tried both the original cable and half a dozen other cables. They all work with the wall chargers as well as the USB solar cell battery pack. But not with any of the car chargers...
Luckily I can use my old HTC Hero (running CoPilot) as a GPS in the car. But it would be nice to be able to charge the Sola in the car too... Now I have to charge the USB solar cell battery pack from the car and then the phone from the battery pack. Not a very neat solution.
I had the same problem with my Sola. Then I bought original Sony Ericsson charger and it works now.
Try this one: Sony Ericsson Micro USB Car Charger AN401 (1200mA, price 12EUR)

From my post: "it would really suck to have to buy yet another car charger that will have to be dedicated to the Sola..."
I had the same problem: when I connected the USB cable to the 700mA car charger, the orange LED on Sola blinked and it didn't charge.
Now I am using a 1000mA car charger and up to now it seems to work fine.

I know this isn't the thread for my device but it's still a sony and I'm just trying to help. My xperia m charges fine when connected to a computer. As an experiment, I slipped a bit of paper between the two inside pins on the computer side(D+ and D-). No charging in xperia m, but charging in Galaxy mini. Is this a software limitation or hardware limitation. I am guessing hardware.
Old thread, but I finally bought a Sony charger and it works. Still can't understand why the other ones didn't. At least now I am able to charge my phone in the car.

Could you share with me the charger? I've made myself homemade charger from 4AA bateries it works with all other devices except my Xperia L(Might be the same problem)
If I recall correct it's called AN401 or AN402 (I think they are the same charger, only different cable).
Turns out, Sony implemented restrictions in the kernel. Google something called float charging, of you're interested.
