Hey guys, I love this Device! but it sucks that you can't listen to music while charging (with "normal" headphones)
so I ordered this https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B071FW86RV
Ist's a pack of two, why not
Build quality is kinda solid, thick cable, won't break any soon
And it charges at 1,46 amps! ( see in Attachment of ampere)
shure that's not nearly as fast as dash Charge
but ist's kinda normal charging, phone gets full in 2h.
and the cables don't get warm at all (while plugged in with the dash charger)
And music is perfectly fine, it's digital and the same as the one that's included with the phone!
they work for 3 days now with no problems at all!
just wanted to share because I saw a thread, the adapter didn't work in charging
PS: you can safely ignore those bad reviews in amazon, a lot usb c only phones only have analog headphones and digital ones don't work, but our phone does!!

Hi,
some days ago I asked about the Music dock which is sold for around 30$. I bought it and after a week or so I would like do give a brief summary of it.
In principle, it comes with everything necessary, (docking station, AC power adapter with normal USB male plug, USB female to mini-USB cable, 2x 3.5mm Audio cable). Sound quality is for the size of the device ok, I opened it to
a) see what's inside
b) disable the bright blue status LED
The only thing that is not ok: The power adapter has also a status LED which is green when nothing is attached and flashes red when the device is charging. If you do not listen to music, i.e. the amplifier is at stand-by, a popping noise from the charge trigger impulse is audible every other second through the speakers. But if you use another AC adapter (like the one from the wizard), its quiet.
Overall, I can strongly recommend the device for this price.
Since HTC Dream isn't for sale here, no accessories are marked to be Dream compatible. There's however lots of Touch (and other HTC models) accessories available. Is it safe to assume that anything that fits the Mini USB of a Touch also works with the Dream? More specifically, chargers (mains and car).

I've used the same mini-USB cable to charge my PS3 controller, my G1, and other devices.
I've personally used, g1 charger, g1 usb cable, BB charger, BB usb cable, moto RAZR charger, standard mini usb.... all of the above are 5V usb spec... only diff for the wall chargers is the aperage...
If your referring to other attachments such as speaker dongles and the like I would venture to say so since the port on the g1 is titled extUSB same as many other HTC phones
Nice - Just what I wanted to hear. Now I can go buy that HTC Touch/TyTN/et al car charger I found at a local shop, and plug it in with confidence. Thanks to all who have responded.

I tried the USB to 3.5 mm adapter, with controls for a handsfree and music (call, end call, mute, hold, play, stop, volume...) that came with my HTC Tytn II, and the G1 didn't react to it...

I used the same MicroUSB to 3.5MM adapter that came with the G1 on my HTC Touch and it worked fine.. it didn't work on my BlackBerry 8830 however, but that one has a 2.5MM headphone out along with a USB out, which i can assume for file transfer.
How big of a difference does the amperage make in temrs of battery life ?
Ex 1 charger I have is 200mah the other 500mah.
Ill assume charging speeds will be different but will this cause any additional wear and tear on battery ?
I wish we had the same thing up in Canada, the Rogers Dream comes with its own proprietary USB dongle on the bottom. So when I lost my phone wall charger I am doomed to PC only charging.

It shouldn't. Anything with a LiIon battery needs a charge controller. The controller's sole job is to monitor the temperature and charge rate as the battery charges and keep it within a certain range. That's why "Battery Info" in spare parts shows the temperature.
It doesn't matter if you're charging from a USB A-to-miniB cable since the G1 will limit the power draw from the charger to 500mA unless the charger has some pins shorted in the USB connector.
Does anyone know if the MiniUSB port on the Dream supports a power OUT function? We are brainstorming ideas on getting flash (as in camera flash) onto the phone, and one idea is with an LED connected to the MiniUSB port

Nope, no power available there. Why not hack it into an extended battery cover? There's lots of room to work, and you could even tap into the battery directly. Just watch out for shorting the battery terminals unless you like your G1 extra crispy.
Hey all,
I am thinking about getting the official Samsung car dock but had a few questions before I bought it:
1) In my youth, I heard that plugging and unplugging a device shortened the battery life. I am afraid that would be the case when I would charge my phone on the way home from work, when it's only like 40% still. Do these new batteries still have the shortened battery life problem when the charge cycle does not get complete? The same question applies to an alarm clock with phone dock that I am thinking about purchasing (know any good ones?).
2) I have a custom stereo with a USB input. Would it just work to go straight from the mini-USB to the stereo USB, and not need to use both the AUX output from the dock as well as the cigarette lighter? I guess using the AUX option I could bypass the issue in #1 above, since AUX doesn't charge it (mini-USB to USB does charge the phone), but I still prefer mini-USB to USB for audio quality.
3) This is a general question. My car originally had a two-din stereo, and I bought a 1-din with a compartment for the other din. Has anyone seen something that could go in the din to help hold the dock?
Thanks for any help!
The car dock sticks to your windshield or it comes with a plastic dics that you can permanently stick to the dashboard.
The dock comes with a cigarette/micro usb cord the connects to the dock. And for audio unless your stereo has bluetooth audio you will need to use a auxiliary 3.5m jack from phone to car.. That's how I have it set up on my car

The car dock will not allow a USB connection to the USB port - it is changed to an analog audio output when docked.
As to 1) - That's an old rule from the days of ****ty timed chargers that would start charging a battery for a set period of time when you turned it on. No phone sold on the market today is set up like this - they all have intelligent battery charging circuits that can handle almost any plugging/unplugging pattern.
So I've been able to test out this nice USB car charger from Choetech Official with Qualcomm 2.0 charging capabilities. And I must say this lil thing works very well. Charged my Nexus 6 up from 15% to 73% around 45min. It's a well built charger that has smart technology for recognizing what kinda devices you have plugged in.
Has a dimmed LED that changes from blue to green when you plug up a fast charge device.
It's a dual USB port charger.
Input: 12-24V
Output 1: 5V 2.4A
Output 2: 5v 2.1A/9V 1.7A/12V 1.3A
I really like this unit. Works better then the crappy one i used to own by Qmadix. That one always seem to stop working after 2 weeks of use.
[Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger]CHOE 30W (with Most Powerful QC 2.0 Port) Dual USB Car Charger with Micro USB Cable(White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YX7Y3G8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_GxKlwbPTT27F2
PS. the Choetech C0046 does come with nicely built 3ft USB cable.
I received this charger couple weeks ago and have been using it. The charger arrives in a nice package with the standard accessories. Inside it has the charger, the usb cable, instructions manual, and a pamphlet that ask if you're happy with the product or not. Pretty standard nowadays. I got the black charger but they also offer it in white. The charger is shorter than my other ones which is a plus for me. I don't like them to stick out of my car port since it's really close to my shift knob. The charger comes with two usb ports. 1 is for quick charge 2.0 for some phones like my galaxy note 5. The other is a normal port that charges pretty fast too, up to 2.4 amps. You can use either ports to charge your devices and they will charge to the max allowed but if you have a quick charge 2.0 enabled device, it's best to use that port. They colored the port blue for fast recognition which is nice. I don't have to fiddle around with it while I'm driving to figure out which port it is. The quick charge can charge my phone from 50% to close to full in about 45 mins. It takes longer if the phone is being used. I use the charger daily during my drive to school. I always charge it up to 100% before I head to class so it can last me all day. I was worried that by using quick charge so often, it would deteriorate my battery life but I haven't experienced that yet and hope I never do. When I use the charger to charge 2 devices, they both charge at their max. My phone charges with the quick charge while the other phone charges with the other port and it doesn't affect each other, which is very good. I really love this charger. If Iphones had quick charge, I would buy this charger for everyone in my family.
Choetech also was nice enough to allow me to test one of these charger for them.
I found it to be an excellent charger.
I have copied my review from amazon here for the fine folks here at XDA.
I will try to answer any questions you may have, just post up a reply or send me a PM.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a great little charger, and I do mean little.
The size actually surprised me a bit considering this is a 4 port charger.
I expected this to be a huge block sticking up from my 12v car port, but it actually is a nice small charger.
I have 2 port chargers that are bigger than this is, enough about that, on to the review.
Looking in the package you will find:
The Choetech 4 port Quick Charge 2.0 certified charger
3' USB cable
Instruction manual
The USB cable is one of the best ones I have received with a charger in a while.
It is not thin and flimsy like you usually get.
The charger itself is made of a nice gloss black plastic and looks and feels like it will hold up well to years of abuse in your vehicle.
This charger does support Qualcom Quick Charge 2.0, meaning that it will auto adjust voltages and amperage to best charge you compatible device as quick as possible.
In testing I found this charger to be able to charge my LG G4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in about the same time as my other Quick Charge 2.0 certified wall chargers.
This will also charger non Quick Charge 2.0 certified devices at the maximum rate they will allow.
I tested my LG G3 that is not Quick Charge 2.0 certified and will max out at 2.1a charge rate.
It got 2.0a charge rate from this charger which is great.
There is also a blue LED on this to help you find it easier in the dark.
The LED itself is dim as to not be distracting,
I have attached some pictures showing how small this charger is and me using it to charge multiple devices including 2 phones and a GPS unit.
I have had zero problems with this unit and am glad to have it.
I would recommend this to anyone with a car or truck and either multiple devices they need to use daily or a device that is Qualcom Quick Charge 2.0 certified.

I received this at a discount in exchange for an honest review, this does not change my opinion of the product in any way.
Hey guys,
I got to use this charger too. Having 4 ports, one with quick charge was really handy. I was able to charge my Nexus 6, Nexus 9 tablet, and an iPhone 5S all from the same charger without having any drop off in charge rate from any of the devices I could measure with Ampere (Nexus 6 & 9). Overall, there isn't much more to say that the other guys above didn't say.
Other thoughts:
It's really small. This thing packs a lot of power for its size.
It is scratch and finger print prone, but I plan on leaving this in the car all the time; so that doesn't really affect me.
The charging light changes color based upon normal charging (Blue) versus quick charging (Green)
NOTE: I was given a discounted product in return for an honest review. All opinions and statements are my own
I grabbed the 2-port charger at 10 bucks a couple of weeks ago at Android Police.
I wonder why there aren't dual QC 2.0 ones out there.

probably grabs too much power and the design to make that might be too complicated without having some power fall off? Personally, my phone is the only QC device i'd worry about and the rest could take the slower charging. But that's my 2 cents.
I have this charger, too, along with a number of other CHOETECH products. Their quality is top notch with affordable pricing!
I have this charger in white so it sticks out surrounded by all the black leather in my car, but that makes it easy to spot and I keep the white charging cable in the quick charge slot so I know which to use when my phone is low. It doesn't seem to charge fast while the phone is in use, but it does charge quickly if you just leave your phone idle and let the charger work its magic.
Even you didn't have a quick charge device, it's handy to have a two port charger. I'm happy with that product.

I recently Un-boxed JBL car charger on my channel on YouTube named Tech2Tap.
The car charger is awesome in looks and is of very great quality and comes for the Price of Rs.499/- something around 7.67$.
The Charger has 2 usb ports that deliver the output of 1 amps and 2.1 amps.
The micro USB cable that comes with same is of very good quality infact the best quality I have ever seen.
The car charger in all is very sturdy and should last for a long time.
It keeps the name of the brand as it does in any other products in terms of quality and performance.
The car charger is really worth buying if you are looking for one.
