I own a hd2 English version and I use it in Italy. Since the unit has the British plug, I use an adapter but that's not the best solution, considering the power adapter has the possibility to use different plugs. And here is my question: where can I find the Italian plug that can be added to the charger??? I have been looking on the ebay but to no avail...any tip???
why not just buy separate USB wall charger with European plug, for example sth like this one: http://www.artwizz.de/product_info.php?info=p312_PowerPlug--2nd-Generation-.html&artID=305,
anyone should work, although it's better to have 1A than the lower ones

Well, thanks, that's easy and I was looking for the oem (original) plug! Anyway I'll keep an eye even on this solution.
Here is a link to the piece I was looking for:

unfortunately, having it shipped to Italy is not worth the price...

Hey all, I'm planning on getting a Hero online since I do not like Sprint's version.
I was wondering what you US users that imported the Hero use to charge your Hero via wall charger. Old iPhone charger? Old G1 charger? If not, did you buy one from somewhere? Any recommendations are welcome!
Thank you!
USB? (And I think the USB-to-wall-thingie came with a changable wall-piece
You can use a mini usb to recharge the phone. I just used my old blackberry mini usb wall charger rather than buying a new one. It will also work plugged into the computer but it takes too long to charge that way.
g1 charger will do fine
The charger supplied with the European Hero handles 100-240V 50-60HZ so you should be ok with just a converter plug. The original charger also has a replaceable wall-piece which can be fitted with plugs as necessary. It only comes with one depending on the market where it is purchased, but there's at least Euopean, UK and US plugs available.
Then there's the option of using any USB charger on the market.
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.
If anyone is looking for an alternative mains charger I can confirm that the charger for the current LG portable DVD range will fit just fine. They provide a full 2A current, so they are plenty strong enough for our tablets. These are readily available and reliable.
LG Models DP371B and DP581B and probably many more.
This is the way that I charge my g-Tablet in the UK, where US mains sockets are in short supply.
Do you mean this one?

That looks like the one that comes with the g-tablet. I saw a few people asking about alternatives and thought I'd share a working solution.
BTW the portable DVD players also come with regulating car power adapters which should work with the g-tablet.
If anyone knows where to buy alternative clip-in country-specific connectors for the standard power supply unit could they please let me know where to find them.

Thanks.. just bought three of them from a guy on eBay.
I realized earlier today that the ac adapter for the GTablet is the exact same model as the ac adaptor is for my kodak picture frame. the model number is MPA-630. I did test the one from my frame and yes it does work. If having the word kodak on the charger doesn't not bother you and you want to get it not directly from china you can pick up a replacement ac adaptor for the kodak digital picture frame SV811 or just search for the ac adaptor model number in ebay or google it.

Is there a recommendation for a cigarette plug??
That one, and the stock one are so FAT!
Anybody know of one where the little prongs fold away?

The current LG portable DVD players (DP581 etc) have similar power requirements and their mains power adaptor fits the g-tablet perfectly.
The LG portable DVD players also ship with car power socket cables, with the correct plug for our tablets. This looks like a safe bet for your in-car power requirements.

I just received mine today from China after purchasing it off of eBay two weeks ago. It is identical to the charger that came with the gTab. The only word of caution is that mine came with one of the plug prongs bent like a "greater than" sign. I used a pair of pliers to straighten it before use.
just found some iGo chargers that charge my Tab now (also works on my laptop). Picking them up at a great price for us
Should be ready for shipping out tomorrow (weather permitting)
Chargers or tips? I would like to find an Igo tip that works.

It's the full charger with a tip included that fits the GTab
Just go to radio shack and pick up either AC adapter or auto adapter with a 12V 2A output capability. Most of them come with a variety of tips so they can be used on the G tab as well as other devices.
Can someone post a link for the correct LG charger? I could only find the UK model. Thanks.
Hi guys, does anyone here know where to buy the US adapter part of the charger? I am speaking specifically of the piece that goes into the charger. The two pronged plug insert itself. Here is a link of an item on ebay that includes the adapter with the charger.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Wall...ccessories&hash=item3a742ee563#ht_3518wt_1018
So ideally I'm looking to spend less than $9 (otherwise I can just buy above item and keep the charger as a spare). I don't want to use an US adapter on top of the Hong Kong one on my tab because it becomes way to bulky and would not fit the outlet near my bed. I'd need to use this outlet as its most ideal.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
EDIT: I'm going to post this in the galaxy tab 10.1 forum as well just so it gets more hits. Its a bit dead here with respect to there.
I think you'll have an hard time getting just the pronged plug...and that's 9$ with shipping included, so maybe it is better to just order the full charger.
...but you made me curious...
Contrary to my previous GT-P1000 charger, the charger on my new 7.7 (European edition) does not feature a USB socket on top where the USB plug then goes, like the one on the Ebay link. Instead, it features an integral cord coming out of the charger (a stand-alone USB cable was also provided in the package for PC connection purposes)
Do you mean that the US version features the much more practical "charger with USB socket + USB cable" solution?
This is important to me since I figured the chargers had been changed from model to model on account of a technical imposition (the cord end from the charger, on the tab side also features a different, slightly longer plug, when compared to the GT-P1000 one)
If it is the case that the charger format is optional, I will jump and get one of the "old" ones as the previous arrangement (charger + separate cable) is way more versatile.
XK
The US version charger is a usb charger adaptor. Also, it has the front plug portion changeable for regions if you have the fittings. I'll take pictures when im home
