I been having this problem since I had an EVO 4G I can't find a car charger powerful enough to Charge my EVO/EVO 3D. I've even bought the Sprint Oem which my phone died while using Gps. So any 100% confirmed powerful car charger? Not a charger where your battery only goes up 10% after 20-30 mins of doing nothing on the phone.
I bought a cheap Walmart Wireless one and it charges fine. Maybe I got lucky. You sure your 12 volt is working right?
I highly recommend the "Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger" from amazon, its around $5
It has rapid charge, so it charges at the rate that a wall charger does. I own 2 and they're great!
This is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA
I've had zero problems at all with it, and have used it on up to 2 hour trips with no noticeable loss in battery. I'd say that it charged additionally, as I'm pretty sure it did, but honestly haven't looked that closely to say it without any doubt.
I too use motorola and they seem to charge everything. Even my Garmin Nuvii. Here is the one I bought.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Ciga..._12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1313709066&sr=1-12
I bought some cheap thing at Microcenter that can plug into a wall outlet or cigarette lighter and takes a USB cable. Works good and I can get a good jolt of juice in a 20 minutes car ride or keep the battery from draining while using GPS and playing a podcast.
For me the ATT chargers work great , I lost mine somehow so I order the HTC oem car charger I'll let you know if is good in a couple days when I get it

Palm official charger for pre or pixi. Full charge just as fast as the wall. Been great forever, you can get them online for 5 bucks.

I use a 180 watt inverter and plug the wall adapter into it, no problems....ever
Do not order the htc dual usb one from Amazon, it is a cheaply made copy of the htc oem one it failed after the first day and I ordered two, they both had the same serial number wtf? I ended up returning them and bought the car dock at bestbuy for $50 it also comes with the official dual usb charger that charges way fast and doesn't feel cheap.

I use the charger from the HTC Evo3D Car dock..works great.
I use a Duracell branded unit I got locally at Staples. I'm sure I overpaid ($22), but I needed it for a trip and couldn't wait. Anyway, it works fine for me.
Awesome thanks for the recommendations sound like I can find a lot of good chargers for way cheaper then the one that didn't rapid charge.

Same one I use (along with the car dock) and it charges the phone pretty quickly even while being used. I typically have music playing via bluetooth and navigation running and it still charges it to complete.

what you want to look for is the output of the charger, it's always in super small print though, usually found on the part that plugs into the wall/poweroutlet with like model number stuff on it lol...the home charger's output is 1.0Amps, i have seen a lot of car chargers that are only like .5 Amps. the motorola car charger mentioned previously is .950Amps so it is almost as powerful as the home one, hence why it charges really well. i found a rocketfish branded one at bestbuy that has a usb plug as well on the unit and it's output was 2.0Amps...it cost me like $26.
This is the one I got:
http://www.amazon.com/Retractable-C..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1313735695&sr=1-1
Works great. I bought it when I got my Evo 4G, and it works great on my Evo 3D
When looking at car chargers check the specs to make sure it outputs at 1 amp and not 500ma. I had a palm car charger from my pre its 1a and works great. A 500ma charger never charges if im actually using my phone in the car (nav, streaming, etc.)
Use a rocketfish i have never had a problem with it and had it for a bit over a year now works on most of the droid phones

Couldn't find where anyone posted this, especially since search is broken right now.
I have been searching for a good car charger, and have tested several from Monoprice, which ALL eventually quit charging. Finally found this car charger that works perfectly. It is the only charger (that I have used) that can charge my phone faster than the Waze app can drain it. Excellent quality quick charger for $5. I believe it is rated at 950mA. The others were rated at 1A, but evidently that wasn't really the case.
In case the link doesn't work, it is the Motorola Vehicle Power Adapter micro-USB Rapid Rate Charger for $5.06 with free shipping at Amazon.

FYI - The charging cable is attached, so it is not a removable micro USB cable. Surely you can tell that from the picture. The clear plastic Motorola emblem glows blue when plugged in, which I thought looked cool (or, "looked chill" for you kiddos ).

I have one works great.
That is a very widely used car charger and pretty well loved. Personally I use a http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=8858&seq=1&format=2 with a USB cable. Have never had any issues with it dying or failing. It also barely sticks out of my cigarette lighter. Any all in one plug I've ever used has always had a lot of bulk.
I use the Zagg Sparq. In the car and work and such. Little pricey but it's got a lifetime warranty.

This is the charger I use also. It works great. What I found is that this charger charges at about the same rate as the supplied HTC AC charger. I've found that anything under approx 850mah takes forever to charge.
You can't go wrong with this charger! :thumbup:

A friend recommended this one to me and we love ours!
I ordered the same charger a few weeks ago and it's flawless. I would definitely recommend it.

The monoprice one has the highest output so it'll probably charge the fastest.
I just bought one of these on ebay for $1.50 direct from China (it's the exact same one)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-2-1am...Accessories&hash=item3cc74de761#ht_2395wt_914
It's a 1amp output which is still higher than the moto one.
Right on. Thanks for posting. I've never 'needed' a car charger, but I've wished I had one, on occasion. So, at this price ... why not?
Thanks OP, Google Maps was winning while charging via car charger on the way to Key West last week. Quite frustrating. This is the perfect solution at an outstanding price!

I suggest people buy it directly from amazon instead of other merchants because there are knockoffs out there.

Iv'e had a Palm Pre car charger for a few years now, no complaints.
I can't find anywhere to confirm this but i believe it charges at 1 amp.
http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Vehicle-Power-Charger-Pixi/dp/B001QVNI0G?tag=thelinactsho-20
if you want a good charger, you should search not only 1A constantly, for example, i use a RadioShack CLA to Dual USB 2.5A Port (Enercell Brand, SKU: 270-057) and i luv it! i used a lot igo CLA but the but was only 850mAh. Now iGo have new CLA with Dual-USB with 2.1A rated (Called MicroJuice) i tested and is very good.

While we were on our way to key west last week also, we killed 2 count them 2 of the griffin 2 port stubby ones. They worked at first, then died. Heat probably an exascerbating issue in that case as we were in a miata with the top down and the sun on that all black interior for 8 hours. Also, had both my phone with nav and ambling books and bluetooth, and my gf's iphone 4 and her taking pics non stop haha.
Anyways I found at radio shack a stubby iGo 2 port 2.1 amp that worked without a problem the rest of the vacation doing the same heavy load in the same heat for untold hours from key west to ocala on the way back to my parents place at the end. It was more like $30 than $3 though!

Hey guys... This video covers 3 different QI chargers and my car setup which I've been running since Christmas Eve.
Is anyone else running multiple chargers around their house/office/vehicle?

I have one at home and one at the office. Not sure about putting one in the car yet since the battery really isn't bad to te point where i need to keep it charged all the time.
yupiiiiii
That's pretty awesome. I'm using the Nokia DT910 at home, which does charge pretty slow might I add. I've been looking for a wireless charger/dock for the car but after seeing that video, I might do something along these lines until a QI charger for the car pops up.
Bought two Nokia DT910 at Verizon yesterday. My company gets a 25% discount on accessories which made them like 37 dollars plus tax each. So far I love it. Using AirDroid now and think I will probably buy that app its real nice.
Good review. I hate the annoying beep from the LG one so I disabled the speaker from mine. I would have liked to see more of the car mounting in the video.
Can someone tell me which is the best economical wireless charger
The Nokia ones work; I think they're under $50 on amazon new.

It's the Nokia DT-900 or 910 whichever one. One is a pad and the other is a stand. I have the pad myself. Works really well. The pad is under $50 new on Amazon.

I have the Nokia/Fatboy that works great. If you are looking for a low priced one VZW just got in new LG chargers. I tried one out the other day and it charged just fine. They retail at $39.99 or $29.99 if you have a corporate discount on your plan.

Economical? Probably the Nokia DT-900. Best? The Google Nexus Orb. I have both.
Nokia DT-900 (fatboy)
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- Slim profile
- Small charging indicator LED
Cons:
- Massive power brick
- Uses a proprietary cable between the brick and the pad. I've been searching for a replacement for months unsuccessfully after my cat chewed the wire.
- The rounded back of the DNA causes the phone to wobble a little on the pad. Not a issue if you have the fatboy pillow (same charger)
Google Nexus Orb (manufactured by LG)
Pros:
- props the phone up making it ideal for desk use
- grippy surface holds phone securely on the pad in any orientation
- uses standard micro-USB cable allowing for very easy replacement of cable / power transformer
Cons:
- Most expensive
- leaves a ring mark on the rear of the phone. Does mostly clean off but may be permanent after prolonged use (approx. 2 months here and very slight permanent wear)
- no charging indicator (the phone lights up though so not really an issue)
Both charge at the same rate, both warm the phone a bit like any charging. I much prefer the Orb for it's use of microUSB, and the fact that it acts like a stand. The difference though is $30 so if you're tight on money the Nokia is a perfect solution.
As we all know, the LG V10 is an amazing device. One that does not have wireless charging out of the box. I have seen cars starting to integrate wireless charging into their cabins so I'm baffled why a lot of devices are not Qi charging capable as a standard. That's neither here nor there.
I had a G3 that I had gotten a wireless charging back for and I loved it. I also ordered one from Amazon for my V10 but it didn't clip on correctly so I sent it back. I then found the sticker on Wish (www.wish.com) for $4 including the $1 shipping. I thought this was a great deal. I removed the original NFC sticker and affixed the Qi/NFC sticker promptly on its arrival. The problem is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it will be on the base overnight and will charge from 15% to 30%. Sometimes it refuses to connect. I even tried the Samsung Quick Qi charger at the Verizon store with no success. The other night I had placed it on the base and it connected and shortly after it started playing music from the the LG music app.
My question is are all the stickers basically the same or does the name and price suggest the quality? What about charging bases? I'm hesitant to say that it is the base. I am also very picky as to which style I'd like vs cost. I will include the Amazon listing of the one I use.

I've never found wireless charging to be stellar. In fact, more often than not the time required to recharge isn't worth it. I just stick with a rapid charger. :/ I would love to see some reliable rapid wireless charging some day.
I know people at a Verizon store and they gave me another stock battery cover. I am no longer using the wireless charging. It's convenient for night time. While I'm asleep. No big. I can live without it.
