Noisy charger - HTC Droid DNA

I use the stock charger to charge my phone once a day. Since I have had it it seems to always be making this somewhat high pitched buzz. Sorry don't really know how to describe the noise. Just want to know if this is an issue or does this just happen with the charger. Has anyone else noticed this with their charger?
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like a capacitor has swollen in the charger. Replace it with an OEM unit asap as the output has surly changed. This may lead to battery fatigue/failure.

I'm going to call HTC and send it to them and get a new one. For now I'm just going to use my nexus 7 charger. That shouldn't harm my phone at all correct?

I wouldnt use the nexus 7 charger cause the output on it is 5volt 2amp on it. the DNA charger is 5volt 1 amp. it might be too much juicefor a smaller battery. the n7 battery is more than twice the size of the dna. If it was me I would at least use one for a phone.

So I should use my dna charger until I get a replacement? I guess I will just have to go without a charge for a bit as these are my only two chargers, I lost my samsung one.

So just got off the phone with HTC and they are sending me a new one no questions asked. This is my first experience with HTC support and I'm very impressed on how they handle issues. Thank for all the help. The rep also said I could use my nexus 7 charger without it harming the phone.

Ty. I was unaware of the amperage. Sorry for the misinformation

Even though the rep said it was safe for you to use the Nexus 7 charger, I'd get a 2nd opinion. They are no experts, just people reading form a computer screen. Heck, when I called Verizon about service plans I got 3 different answers from 3 different people.

Yea if its not oem outputs don't use it

Even though the charger is defective it still charges so I'm just going to use it and keep and eye on it until my replacement arrives.

Got my replacement today and there was a clear problem charger, this one doesn't make the noise the other one was making.

Everything is the same with the i9220 & i717 except the radio right?
sent from places you don't want to go...
I think the i9220 is the international version.
So different back plate, no nfc and different processor as well.
But the dimensions should be the same.
Hoping this case snaps over top the i717.
I believe the i9220 is the UK version of the note? Same dimensions, but you never know...
The exterior dimensions are the same. I can see some compromises were made to the design, because of the Spen. I'd be a little concerned about the smallish charger. They should have designed it with the charging port integrated to the case like many iPhones have. This would have given it a more finished, put together look. Still awesome to see so many options for cases, extended batteries and charging out there!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
My reasons for getting this particular extended battery case is:
1) didn't make the Note any longer
2) has a built in kickstand
3) option for charging another device that takes micro USB charger
4) easiest on/off case I've seen.
5) because it says "Galaxy Note" on the kickstand
I will order this in a couple days.

Curious to see how it does. If it's at least as good as another standard battery it'd be worth it.
I bought a similar one from Chinavasion. And it was also an international version. It fit perfectly on my at&t note.

What screen on time are you seeing?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh its different cause since it actually counts as charging the battery it doesn't record that. See I can do 5 hours on my stock battery alone and I know for a fact that I can double it with the battery case. Its a battery case so it keeps my battery at 100 for about 6 hours and then my stock battery takes over. Do you understand what i mean?

Charging but discharging

This doesn't make sense. My phone is charging but my battery is discharging. I've changed batteries but it's not the issue.
What could it be?

That's a weird situation, somehow your battery just isn't getting voltage. Get an external charger, they sell 2 batts and an external charger for less than $20 on amazon.

I actually had the same issue when I first installed a custom rom on my s3. All I had to do to fix it was run a quick nandroid restore. Other's that I've talked to who had this issue told me to try different kernels, specifically kernels designed around battery life. Hope this helps

I'd be happy with a patch that fixes the charging issue since the last bug they sent out.... err patch they sent out.
My phone has became nearly unusable because it will not fully charge while I'm asleep.... and I am using the OEM charger.

I'm looking for a cable and other accessories.
The only Streak cable I have will provide a charge when plugged into a laptop, but not when plugged into a wall (A/C) adapter or into a car adapter.
Weird, right? Any ideas? I might make a thread on this, but as part of the trouble shooting I'm sure people will insist on my obtaining a different cable to try. A bent pin may be the cause. Who knows.

Wireless charging.

Its not confirmed on htc.com but some sites claim it does. Was wondering if any of you can confirm it. Mine is att and it doesn't charge wirelessly. Thanks

AFAIK induction charging isn't possible on the one x+ because it requires the built in hardware that makes it possible. Unforunately the one x+ does not have it. I looked into this after I bought my phone back in January and it doesn't seem like there is an easy way to do this unless you want to open up your phone and add the induction charging hardware yourself. I didn't think I should risk it because I could end up breaking the phone if I didn't do it properly.
I opened my phone and put the palm charging stuff in my phone.... It was stupid... It charged, but VERY slowly. Just use the damn wire. This tech is still in gimmick phase.

The reason for this thread was to find out if my phone is defective. It isn't . Just look at this video around 2:50 and u will see why I asked about wireless charging .
