I tried the usb chargers and they dont work. I see that the Asus trans uses 15 volts to charge so does tht mean I have to use a bulky tranformer 120 volt charger?

As long as it is at least 500mah you will be fine. With modern phones the phone controls the charging rate so even if you get a 5 amp adapter it won't hurt anything (as long as the voltage is right, of course) as the phone will only pull what it needs.
HI
I bought a motorola charger and it charges really slow. So i just started searching and cannot decide which one to trust. Can any of you guys recommend me one? Thx.

Just look for a charger that is rated at 1a or 1000ma. That's what the stock chargers are rated at. Lots of generic ones are only 500ma-750ma.

This puts out 1 amp and works very well.

Some Nokia chargers are rated at 1.2 amps however i`m not really sure which model its from. It will charge faster but will decline the life of your battery. batteries are cheep anyways and you will still get about 400 cycles out of it using this charger.

Why not just use the stock wall charger?

I'm looking more into something like this:

how about this? this is the flat style HTC OEM charger like the black berry charger,
just an older style still out put 1A rating, but a bit more bulky then the new HTC style

I have two of those and they work great. They were extras from my Touch Pro 1 and 2. I keep one at work and one in my drawer at home, for travel use and as a back up for a guest etc.

Perfect! I like how it goes downward instead of forward like the original 3D charger.

I've used a couple various chargers.. the best seems to be the stock wall charger..
The slowest seemed to be an apple usb plug with a MOTO cord, I can kill it faster than it will charge...
I also tried the wall charger that came with my cheap galilio batteries with a cord plugged into it, still seemed slow.and I couldn't get it to charge past 85%.. I haven't checked into the amps yet.... Might be a good idea LOL
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
the 85% thing is their cheap way of preventing over charging the battery without having to do a more expensive charging circuit
I have a question for those who bought the Samsung spare battery charger device with the integrated stand. What is the rated output voltage and amperage of the charger? If should say so on the device itself.
Also, if possible, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the actual voltage and/or amperage of the charger as measured by a volt/amp meter.
The reason I am looking for this info is because I bought a spare battery from Samsung, but the current charger that I have doesn't charge it all the way (only to about 91% full) since the output voltage is too low. I would like to purchase a third party charger since they are much cheaper, but I need to know what its specs should be.
I believe the charger your talking about is 5.0 volts and 1.0 amp. I haven't run it on a meter. I would say any usb charger with that rating or higher should be sufficient for a 100% charge

Sorry, I didn't mean the USB charger, I meant the one where you put a spare battery in it by itself to charge. Here is the link for what it looks like:

Incorrect. The charger that comes with the phone itself is 1 amp, the charger that comes with Samsung's spare battery stand ebh-1g6mla is only .7 - the stand can accept input at either 500 mA or
1 A. It outputs only 4.2v @ either 450 or 900 mA.

Hey I've recently wanted to use the fast charge widget by Chad but I can't seem to find a decent kernel that supports it.
Is there a reason the feature is left out? I figured it would kind of be standard to custom kernels.

Working on bringing back into mine.
I used snuzzos all the time but he pulled it after 1.5. And 1.5 doesnt play optimally with one xxx 6.0.2. I miss it because I'm on a car charger more than a wall charger.

What car charger are you using that doesn't pick up as AC already? As long as you aren't using one that advertises iDevice support, it shouldn't need fast charge.

Some off brand charger. Idk. Now that I think about it the charger may be bad. It shows ac charging. It didn't act like it was charging at all the other day. Wouldnt keep up well in an area with no service. But the one in my personal vehicle and my wall charger do well. Lol either way I miss the fast charge.

Ermahgerd Kernel supports fast charge but read the first post instructions very carefully.
There are some ppl who say fast charge isn't all its cracked up to be. It does not make ac charge go any faster. I bought a Rezound compatible usb cord and an official HTC plug separately off amazon for like 30 altogether. Beats having to wait forever using another manufacturers charger.

Make sure your charger exceeds the fast charge rate. A 2 amp charger would certainly be large enough. 1 amp would be too small.

Just buy a real charger which follows the USB charging specs, and be done with it. Problem solved.

Follows the USB charging specs? So you mean 5V 500mA? I prefer a charger with 2amp capabilities, so I know there are no issues when using fastcharge. When the phone detects a car charger or computer USB port, the kernel regulates the current to 500mA or less. Telling the phone to pull more than 500mA from a computer or car charger will probably just damage the charger, depending on the rating.
But a two amp charger with fastcharge should charge at 1.25 amp or so, and it won't damage the charger.

I currently have this car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/PNY-P-P-DC-UF...fkmr2&keywords=usb+2.0+car+charger+pny+2.1amp
When I first got it, I shorted the pins to force it to charge in AC mode. Now that I know it is capable of 2.1amps and our phone can accept similiar amperage, will I need a micro usb 3.0 cable for it to charge at 2.1amps? Or will my old galaxy s3 usb 2.0 cable be able to charge it at 2.1 amps as well?

No, a USB 2.0 cable will charge at the same current as a USB 3.0 cable (1800mA with the screen turned off, 1200mA with it on).
If the max is only 1.8amp then why is our charger rated at 2amp?

Change the color to black and it's less than half the price. Isn't there an app that will tell you how much current it is drawing while charging?

I believe there is also a loss of energy during the transfer of energy. The process is not 100% efficient.
