Is it possible for some ebay brand company to come out with a faster charger AKA rapid charger? I'm talking electronically is it possible without damaging the unit.
I'm sure that's one of the first things I'd buy if it came out, a faster adapter or an AC type adapter instead of a USB form wall charger. The fact that I had my tablet charging at 6:05pm and now it is 11:22pm (roughly 5.5 hours) and still isn't at 100% is rather really annoying. I can live with it but I certainly wouldn't mind if some new rapid charger came out that allowed charging to be done in 2 hours or so like the Moto Xoom or Toshiba Thrive.
Your battery is charging slow because it also takes 10hrs to discharge under heavy usage. You can't expect to have your battery charge in 1hr and be used 24, right? I don't understand why you want to have it charge faster... leave it charge over the night like everyone else does it.
I think this is not right at all, my netbook is discharching in about 10 hours and the charge time is at least about 3 hours

How about this: find this fast charging USB charger, test it, THEN come back to XDA and post a thread called "faster wall charger." Really, I'm starting to think you should just open up that Xoom and go spam their forum with complaints masked as questions.

EDIT: I was having a bad day. Although your response wasn't exactly appropriate to my OP, I kind of did the same thing and escalated the situation. Apologies.
I really do like the Galaxy a lot and I guess there's no "Rapid charger" out yet. lol
where do you guys buy wall charger for new razr EU TYPE?
i'm looking for one, since my device is on its way to me. i guess it is not necessary to look for charger for razr, 'coz chargers for older models (such photom atrix etc) will also work ?
I have multiple chargers and they all work with the Razr. It only needs to provide 500mA.
official razr charger has 850mA
so my 700mA will work without any problems i guess
Yeah 700mA will work, but anyway, don't expect it to charge your battery if you're watching a flash HD movie while calling
Seriously, it'll work, but the battery will charge slowly compared to its 850mA charger.
I ever use my 1A HTC wall charger for all of my phones (SGS2, ATRIX, ...RAZR). It won't blow up anything, but that prevents a slow charge if you're playing on your phone while charging it
so where i can find 850mA?/0.85A so i can play/call/watch/have sex/take shower while charging ???
searched whole internet...

No need for a new charger, just buy an adaptor for it and don't use other brand chargers with any motorola phones.

original moto charger for europe
I've got a 2.1 amp car charger and a cable with the pins crossed. Tablet identifies it as (AC) charging... just tried it out and it dropped a percent even being plugged in.
W-t-f.
Yea the charger that came with it.

I need a car charger that will do the same. What does the charger that came with it output? Mine was from cowboom and didn't come with one.
Also - my HP touchpad charger can't keep up either.
All I have it doing is playing slacker radio music and the screen on.
I am just pissed because I've dumped money into this stupid charging issue and now with a 2.1 amp charger AND usb cable meant for charging the flyer still can't charge with it's screen on.
How in the helllll are you supposed to use the gps on a long trip with it.. Starting to think this was a bad purchase.

Starting to think people just whine and cannot hit the search button or take the time to read things we wrote months ago.
The stock charger puts out 9v @ 1.2 amps and has a special HTC charging plug on the Flyer end. No standard USB wall or auto charger in the world does that. Use a 120v inverter with the HTC wall wart for God's sake.
And learn how to use the carefully written content already in the Forums before whining and cursing on the forum. That's what we waste our precious time for, trying you help you helpless creatures.

I think HTC has an OEM car charger for like $20-$30.
I agree, it's highly annoying. I was looking yesterday for a right angle cable, but so far, I haven't found one that will still charge this tablet.

Yea, I found a site and ordered the OEM cable - I hope it works because if it doesn't.. this thing is going on ebay and I'll find another solution.
I also have been looking for a right angle cable, but now that you MUST use the htc charger and their weird connector, I'm giving up on that.
Please report back your findings.
I run airplane mode and listen to music through bluetooth from my flyer. My standard charger has been keeping it charged but I haven't run GPS tests with the screen on. I'm sure once I start getting into using GPS with the View I'll be looking for a new car charger as well.
You can get the OEM car charger from Sprint.
Sadly, I don't see Best Buy offering any accesories for the Flyer (including spare chargers/car chargers) so I'm probably going to buy a charger or two from Sprint at some point.

Fascinating... Now I do agree that it wasn't stated very well, I do have to pause here and laugh at your previous claims. A question is a question. I myself have experienced this issue, I just never thought about posting about it. Learned the hard way that if I want to charge it completely, the screen and all apps have to be off because they consume more power.
But you, my, you are a fascinating spectacle I will never quite understand. It almost seems, and please correct me if I am wrong, that you get a pleasure out of making those you perceive as lesser intelligent feel stupid. Also want to redefine "you" as quite a few people on this forum. Remember that people have to learn from somewhere, so please aid them.
So here is something I would like you to take from this before you apply the ever so interesting label troll to this... statement of recent activities. If someone has a question, even if they haven't researched it, then post a link. Because people like me have the misfortune of Googleing threads like this and I receive comments from people like "you" that make the entire experience unpleasant and a true waste of my time.
I also truly wish someone would sticky this post, because these forums are riddled with people like the previously mentioned.

I know how you feel. I think some people have had luck with cutting the cable on the OEM charger and transplanting a regular MicroUSB end, but I just hate the thought of hacking up an expensive OEM charger.
This issue, combined with the crappy support from HTC and the seemingly impossible development of ICS has me strongly considering just getting a different tablet. I bought it primarily to use in the car, but also because of the pen function, but now the pens don't seem to be going back down in price, so I haven't bought one. I just don't like the idea of having to keep pouring into this stupid thing. My plan is to wait it out until Google releases the Nexus tablet, and see how I feel then.
Well, there are several on Amazon. This one is reasonable, but has not yet been rated.

The pictures show a standard MicroUSB tip, so I'm assuming that's just another generic charger. I hate it when vendors do that...they have that junk on eBay, too. I'm sure it works just fine as a regular charger, but I doubt it will work properly for the View.

From everything I've read this will NOT allow you to actually charge the battery while you are using the flyer to do anything.
I want FULL brightness, playing music, using the gps... and still being able to charge.
Anything less than that and it's Aidos to the flyer and OEM charger.

Did you only order a OEM cable, or did you order the actual OEM car charger? I ask because I've used the OEM cable with a 2.1A car charger, and it was unable to charge the device while it was in moderate to heavy use. The charging process via a wall outlet is also incredibly slow if you use the OEM cable with a USB wall charger (versus using the OEM charger which is one piece rather than a USB cable that separates from the charger). The actual OEM car charger should a difference since the OEM wall charger does.

Well, you're likely to be disappointed I believe, and it's no fault of the View or the chargers. Expecting to be able to have the screen on with full brightness, to be playing music, and to use the GPS all simultaneously is a tall order for absolutely any device. Under those circumstances, any phone or tablet will likely not be able to charge when connected to a vehicle charger. At the absolute best, you might maintain the charge level or lose just a small amount. But to actually increase the charge while doing all of that (especially having the screen on at full brightness continuously) is very, very unlikely with any device or any vehicle charger.

You sure you linked to the right thing? The View's OEM chargers have a 9V output, while normal USB chargers only do 5V. The Amazon link doesn't seem to say anything about voltage as far as I can see.

All you have to see is the picture of the standard microUSB tip to know that the charger in the link will not adequately charge the View while under moderate use. HTC uses a modified microUSB port that allows for faster charging of their devices. Standard microUSB cables and chargers can be used with the View, but they don't supply the same level of charge. All the charger in that link would do for the View is charge it very slowly if it wasn't in use at all.

You may be right there. There are some others that looked like they had the special htc end. One was $28.
Sent from my HTC View in LALA land.
I found out the other day that my mains charger has stopped working. I have no idea why or how, thinking it could be the phone itself, but it still charges on the usb cable that I leave plugged into my Xbox to charge instead. This is inconvenient because of the length of the wire and the slowness in which it charges.
Is there a solution to this or a little trick to get it to work? Because I have no idea why it's broken or not charging my phone.
Not the end of the world anyway because I found one on ebay for £3.49 which I'll get if I have no answer to this. Thank you in advance
Anyone?

Try a different charger. If you had to find one on eBay, I have to assume you don't have another handy. Borrow one from a friend or something. If it still charges via USB, it sounds as if the AC charger failed for some reason. 3 pounds for a new charger isn't that much.
Hey guys! I need to purchase a USB car charger for my galaxy s4 and I want to make sure I'm buying the right one. I saw this one for example....Amazon.com: Anker® 18W / 3.6A Dual Port USB Car Charger with Built-In Micro USB Cord for Android (Apple Cable Not Included) (Black): Electronics
I know this one says its compatible with the S4 but my question is does it matter that its 18W/3.6A? Browsing different car chargers, I've noticed they all have different strengths. My question is, are they all safe?? Or will something like this one fry the phone or battery??
Any input will be greatly appreciated guys!!

USB Car Charger
i used one of these with my Charge and I did not have any issues with. I will say that only used it if had to have a bump to hold me over until I got home. Some after market chargers (Plugs and cords) will cause your phone to heat up. If your heat gets too high the next thing you know items are looking up and everything becomes a mess So I would say if you have to use this just be cautious and watch the heat on your phone.
Avantek USB Car Charge is good from all other chargers; personally I use Avantek USB car charger its service is so good.
I hope you also try to take good service.
