I have used these for the Optimus, EVO Shift and EVO 4G and they work great. However it did not work for the EVO 3D. I need to try it with the one in my other car to determine whether the charger went bad or they don't work.

Anyone having trouble with battery charging?
I will charge over night and battery will be around 97-99% but won't make it to 100%.
While using my car charger, it won't stay at 100%, will drain while just texting/internet. It only drains down to 97% or so but It's annoying because my EVO 4G would stay at 100% while on car charger.
Should I try to get another battery or is it supposed do to that with trickle charge/discharge?
I'm going to Sprint and trying one of the official car chargers.

motorola car chargers are a bit iffy. personally, i wouldnt use them because ive seen them ruin other manufactures phones. its not an immediate thing, but after prolonged use charging ports go bad. theyve even had to put out special chargers because their normal ones werent compatible with their own devices (the i576 comes to mind)
I bought this one. http://www.amazon.com/MicroUSB-Char...UJRQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1309792315&sr=8-4
Its the OEM HTC one for the thunderbolt. It has two USB ports and both charge at 1000ma, so you could charge two evos at once plus it works with the iGrip car mount. Oh yeah and you can plug in any USB cable you want to charge any phone.

Who cares if says 98%, 99% or even 100% it's not that big of a deal. at least to most.
As for the chargers, I will not use any of these cheap crappy units being sold on Ebay and other sites. My son bought the 4G when it was first released and couldn't be found any where. He ordered the extra batteries, 110 charger, 12 volt charger, screen protector for something like $2.99 including shipping ( yes, I am joking on the price, no need to correct me, just get the idea we are talking cheap crap here ) I told him that I wouldn't trust the chargers. I didn't know but he left the phone on the 12volt charger in my F350 dually while we did the grocery shopping at WalMart. Probably gone 30-45 min at the most. Came out to the truck and the cab was filled with smoke and the charger was so hot you couldn't hold it. Took my shirt off and ripped the charger out of the socket. It had started to melt. Scares me to think what would have happened if we were at the movies instead of WalMart. He contacted the seller about the problem and they sent him another crappy 12 volt charger, Yeah right!!!!! The cheap batteries lasted ok, but I sure wouldn't use the cheap chargers. I have the one at Sprint that also has a USB socket on it so I can charge 2 phones at the same time. Radio Shack also sells some decent 12 volt chargers, but be real careful with the Ebay crap. If you do risk it you better make sure you got your insurance premiums paid up to date.

That's how it works. If you watched your phone all night long, you'd notice it get to 100%, and then drop down to 99 a few minutes later. One day, if you're lucky, it'll be at 100%. Mine was this morning. It charges to 100, then lets itself discharge to 95% or so, then back up to 100, over and over. It also charges super slowly above 90%, not sure why, but I assume it's to "Fill" the battery up as much as possible. Also, if you do some research on battery charging, you'll find out that the closer a battery is to full, the slower it charges. (IIRC 66% of the remaining battery life per charge period. So 0-66% in the same time it takes to go from 66-88.4, 88.4 to 96, 96-98.6, 98.6-99.5, etc.. But I learned this back in High School, and can't find any thing on the internet to support it in my quick 10 min fact search... Lol)
The OG Evo did the same thing kinda, but didn't display it correctly, and it was the cause of the "Dropping 5% in the first minute of use" problem. The phone would charge to 100%, and then discharge to 95%, and stay there, but the battery icon would say 100% until you unplugged it. Then the system would check the battery, realize it was really at 95%, and change the display number.
The Evo 3D just tells it how it is, in real time.
Just posted this on another forum. Just bought one and used coupon code THANKYOU for 10% off.

Went on ebay and got 3 batteries and a wall charger for 12 bucks. Had the same for my Epic, they are from Hong Kong, and last about half as long as stock but for money spent, well worth it IMO.
Normally i stick to seidio for aftermarket batteries, but that offer is too good to ignore! thanks for the tip!
They take about 2 weeks to get to you, ground mail from China but used them for a year on my Epic. Great little backups, keep one in the car, one in the office, whereever.
I am still not sure which battery will fit the Photon. Let us know how it works out.
This one claims to be for the Photon and only the Photon, it only recently came out so it should work. It is not one of those that advertises for Atrix/Droid X2/Photon, which as we know the Photon does not share a battery with.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-3X-1500...119425?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45fc81f7c1
Thanks for that ebay link! Wow 3 batteries and the external charger! I just purchased these and it is worth the gamble for $13. I think it will be okay. Worst case scenerio I also get the Seidio battery and I have this purchase to charge my OEM battery in the external charger
They have them for like every phone, usually 2 not 3, but the 3 is nice insurance for a DOA. Never heard bad about them other then they last about half as long as OEM.
What about those 1950 mAh batteries? Will they fit? They scare me because it does not say mB855 anywhere.
Just to confirm the 3 for 13 ebay batteries do fit and work in the Photon. Can't speak of life yet, i expect about half of stock prob a bit more but well worth it.
I posted this over in android forums but forgot to post it here as well.
I ordered this 3x 1500mAh battery + charger over in ebay.
The package does indeed come from China. The package has the 3 included batteries and the charger box.
Next we have images of the battery in its protective pouch and the battery charger.
Each battery is a 3.7VDC 1500mAh Rechargable Lithium-ion type of battery.
It states as a replacement for the BF5X/MB520/MB525 battery. But I can rest assure that it does fit the Photon.
The charger has retractable prongs to connect to the wall and it also has a usb port which I guess is to connect another device to charge from (like the Photon connected via a usb cable.) There is a nicely soft glow light that is colored red (more like magenta) when the battery needs charging and turns a nice color green when the battery is fully charged. Supposedly the charger box indicates that the charging stops once the battery is full to prevent overcharging, but I have no way of knowing that without a battery tester of some sort.
Here is the view of the light with a pic without flash on.
As I was testing this product, the supplied batteries get charged in about an hour each. Originally, I just inserted one of the batteries into the photon to see if it fit and worked and yes it does fit and charge the phone. But it quickly died since I didn't have it fully charged. Well after a few hours of charging all three batteries, I inserted one of them into the photon and see how long they last.
as for the USB port on the charger, well it does not provide any juice to the Photon via a usb cable. At first I thought it was my cable (previous HTC EVO cable) so I switched it to the official one from Motorola and nothing, zip nada.
At this point, I thought either I had a charging device that had a defective usb port or the port doesn't work at all. So I decided to do one last final test and plug in my Kensington Pocket Battery for Smartphones device (which I highly recommend by the way) into the usb port of the charger and tada, we have power. It charges the Kensington battery pack. But not the Photon via the usb.
Now going back to the battery in the photon, while not as long lasting as the official Motorola HF5X 3.8v 1650mAh battery, it does keep the Photon working long enough for me and until I am able to reach a charging port on long travels outside. And with 3 of them, I really do not have to worry. (So long as they all are charged fully). lol
Overall for the price, $12.90 I really can't complain. True the USB charge port only works for my Kensington but it does charge the 3 supplied batteries as well as the official Motorola one. Small, compact and good for travel.
oh and this image shows the pouch and where it came from as well as the model number of the batteries. As one can see it states it is a replacement for the BF5X Moto battery.
and finally here is another ebayer with a higher rated battery.

Does anyone know if the charger pack u charge to act as a charger for your phone (when not near electricity)is compatible with the note? I've seen them but i didn't know if they are compatible with the note since it has such a large battery. Also does anyone have a link to one?

I just bought this Anker one from Amazon. Reviews are almost overwhelmingly positive and I can confirm that it does work on the Note just as well as it works on my Atrix 4G.

Does the higher the amount of mah on the battery pack equate to numerous recharges for your phone(depending on the phone's battery mah)?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Yup. It's just shy of three full charges for my Atrix, which has a ~1900mAh battery. Should be two charges for a Note, give or take a little bit.
That's great! I just saw one on amazon with 11200 mah for $69 i think im going to get it.

How long is the charge time on yours? I've never had one so i don't the slightest idea of how long it could take to charge one.

I was going to get that one, but it was just too huge. I can slip the Anker 5600 I bought into a jacket or pants pocket with the cable and it's just fine. No problems with portability. Charge time is equal to what it'd be from an AC charger in my experience so far, but I only got mine a few days ago.
I meant wats the charge time of the battery pack?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Haha...sorry. It was about half-charged when I got it (2/4 indicator lights) and took two hours to charge to four lights.
I got the mycharge ones since the cables are built in. 3Ah and 6Ah depending on my needs (1 or 2 nights). I like them even though they aren't 10Ah monsters.

Does it hold the charge or do you constantly have to recharge it?
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Most portable USB battery chargers do not support the signals that allow the Note to go to high current charge mode. Pins 2 and 3 of the USB connection need to be shorted with a low resistance. The Note senses this and switches on a high charge otherwise, it will stick to a standard USB charge of less than 500ma even if the battery charger can put out 1A.
I bought a Scosche 5000 mah portable battery charger that comes with a special USB adapter designed for the Galaxy Tab. I tested it with my Note. With the adapter, the Note charges in under four hours. Without the adapter, it takes overnight to charge the Note even though the Scosche has a USB port that puts out 2.1A to charge an Ipad.
Staples sells the Scosche battery for $80 but there is a $29 online coupon that is good until 3/5/2012.
Hmm... I have a rechargeable battery from Monoprice that I use with my iPhone 4 but I haven't tried it with my Note yet. It will probably only charge the battery about half way. Monoprice has good cheap rechargeable batteries to charge on the go if anyone is looking for something similar.
After a few more days with the Anker, it charges my Atrix and my Vivid at least as fast as my AC charger. Probably placebo effect, but it honestly feels like it charges it faster.
Why not just carry a couple of extra batteries and get a charging station for them? Seems cumbersome to have to have one of these attached to your device when you need more juice, when swapping out a battery is quick and has an instant full charge...?

If you're gonna carry something anyway you might as well just have a single, spare battery instead of a power pack plus a cable. The Note has such an easy back to pull off and swap. Bing-bang-boom.

As someone who used to do this exact same thing with the captivate, it's definitely convenient to carry, however the interruption while you take off the case, remove the cover, replace the battery/reboot, can get annoying especiallky if you're right in the middle of doing something.
I'm getting ready to take a long plane flight, and I bought some battery packs from monoprice just now, with the intention of using one of them up front while I use the phone, so we'll see how that goes.

Note sure if it's just me, but the minute or so that my phone is down to swap the battery and reboot seems much more appealing and convenient than having a battery pack dangling by a cord from my phone for multiple hours while it charges, or keeps it charged.
Not to mention how many spare batteries you could buy for the price of one external battery pack.

I actually agree partially, however I just found out that monoprice.com sells 2800mah battery packs for like $13 each. I just bought three:
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083311&p_id=7664&seq=1&format=2
That said, I likely will still buy an extra regular battery that I can just carry in my pocket. The main reason I'm going with the external batteries is because I'm getting ready to go on a trip with 15 month old twins to europe, and I can use these external packs to power up both my phone, and my touchpad (Which I need for playing childrens shows)
Did anyone try to use HOX+ in car as navigation? I have quite strong charger in car made for iPad (2.1A rated USB) and it is not able to charge phone when it is running navigation (Sygic, but it doesnt matter). It seems to me, that charging current is too low to charge battery and also power phone, which is actively used. Tried to repeat at home, again big Apple USB charger from iPad rated 2.1A and while I was actively using phone (browsing etc), charger was able to get 1% of battery charged per 15-20 minutes. Which is too long.
Phone is getting warm or even hot while using CPU actively (Chrome is able to run all 4 cores while rendering page) and maybe there is some protection to avoid HOX+ getting too hot while charging? Or maybe internal logic just doesnt take more juice from charger when phone is charging and being actively used (to power CPU/GPU and also charge battery)? Anyway result is that with intensive CPU/GPU apps like navigation, I cant charge phone fast enough and it is actually discharging! No matter how strong or good your charger is, phone takes constant current and sometimes its just not enoug...
Anyone got similar problems?
The problem is that you shouldn't use chargers meant for other electronic devices.
How is it with the charger supplied with the X+?
Bbattery Monitor Widget is good to track charge/discharge value.
I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary, even using the phone while it is charging.

And what is the difference between chargers with USB ports? I could understand that using cheap noname charger from China could be problem, but I'm using branded from Apple, which is known to be really well made. And it is providing 5V and up to 2.1A of current.
Anyway cant use original because I bought phone in UK and they have some ugly shaped power plugs unlike rest of Europe
...but it ain't working, obviously. A power adapter is like a couple of €s, and @amazon original charger are around 7 €
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I've used both an OEM US charger and the UK charger with an adapter with the OEM cable and both have done fine. It does take longer to charge while using it, but that's no surprise.
The Apple charger should do better.
Simply put, the device reduces charge rate if the device gets too warm. I don't know if this is happening but it's something to keep in mind.
I had this issue also when i was using the device. Charging was stuck at 99% and did not change anymore.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Well, you probably can't top the battery while charging because the phone is drawing more current than what the charging circuit (internal to the phone) is able to deliver to the battery (while charging).
Been digging in this problem a little bit more and found strange pattern. Since I cant use original charger (UK version doesnt fit my outlet), I have to charge with Apple ones. I have one big for iPad3 (strong marked as 2.1A), one small one with 1A and one small one chinese copy from DX (also 1A). When I try to charge phone with first two, it just charge like USB (settings>power and there you can see type of chargin on the top of screen). When I use chinese copy, it charges like proper AC adapter, quite fast. But after while, touch screen is messed up and it is almost impossible to control my phone. It seems like some static electricity build up or something like this messing with toucscreen mechanism. It gets fine few seconds after removing phone from charger.
Tried different cables, have 3 types at home. Original cca 1m long, only chinese charger woks in AC mode. Then I have extra short for drive, same behavior like original and two long ones (2m), chinese from DX but well made with quite thick cable and with this even chinese sometimes charge like USB, but sometimes it connects like AC.
Always thought that Apple chargers are good and used them to charge other gadgets, never had any similar problems. Seems that One X+ is quite picky with chargers, anyone can verify if it is just my piece?
So WTF were they thinking win they designed these chargers. My bed partially covers the outlet and with this ridiculous design i have to pull the bed out enough or plug it in across the room. My wife got here m8 today and i thought oh ill just switch her chargers but hers is just the same! why the hell are they doing this!! So can i use my charger that came with my htc hero (i belive) or will it cause issues. its bent at a 90 and works a lot better for me but i dont have any of the voltage info on it. i mean it works ive tried it but is it safe?
The charger with the usb cord bent almost to the point of failing still sticks out 4 inches. end rant

Problem solved plus they can be had at actual retailers if you don't like Ebay.
For an overnight charging you will be better of with a generic $2 charger from ebay. It can't supply high current for fast charging, and slow charging is actually better for the battery. I use the factory charger only when I need fast recharge.
I went ahead and just pulled my neutral and hot wire off the outlet and glued them to the prongs on the charger and stuffed it in the wall, works great.

so the htc hero charger output is 1 amp and ours is 1.8. so like others said it will be a little slower but that may prove beneficial in the long run. thanks guys for clarifying this

As in the wall power, with glue. Dude this sounds like such a fire hazard. Careful man.
Get a flat plug extension cord for tight places like this from Office Depot, for the love of Android dont pull 110V out of the wall and glue it to wall wart.

I haven't really bothered to test how long it takes to charge on the older chargers compared to the new one - might be worth a look.
Battery life on this phone is really impressive though, especially when you consider how much juice it takes to power the QHD display.
The stock charger is fast and powerful, it charges G3 at 1.2-1.3Amps. None of my other chargers can charge G3 at more than 0.9Amps. And charging from a PC or a non-android specific charger goes at 0.5Amps at most.
