Would you be able to take a pic of the Wizard in that charger? It's hard to judge the size of it.
I use this one. So handy for 'all thumbs' users.

Hi
I have noticed that when using a car charger that worked on my older htc phone it heats up the jade and then it eventualy locks i have to hit the reset button or pull the battery.
has anyone else found this or know of a way round it, I like my old one as it has about a 2m cable whish reaches exactly where i need it to.
has anyone else seen a car charger like this that works with the jade?
cheers
Tom
I have a charger from an old O2 phone and it's working fine. I had no problems with car charger so far.
I looked on the mains charger i had with the device and it says output is 5V, I think the car charger is giving out 12V as I think it's just a straight through usb light socket so i wouldn't imagine it's stepping down that much, only problem is i don't like the chargers with curly cables i want a straight cable or a charger that just has a usb socket on it.
any idea where i could find that?
I have another option of adding another lighter socket on the dash of the car near where the phone is but i don't really like drilling holes in the car if i don't have to!
ok a quick google and i have found a 4 usb port 5v car charger so fingers crossed that will sort my problem out.
it's quite cool as it has surge and over load protection for each port so if one shorts out the others carry on working.
Hi,
I already bought 2 car charger kits but non of them fit, they all have a mini USB and not the special one the Jade needs.
Can anyone give me a LINK for a proper car charger, cause on eBay they sell all the mini USB crab which obviously doesn't work!
Thanks!

Whats wrong with the mini usb ones? Thats what I use.
So, I may be the only one in the world who doesn't want a fast car charger... But, I'm looking for some recommendations on a "regular speed" car charger.
I know a lot of people are of the "I want it charged faster, consequences be damned!" variety but, I would rather not inflict damage to my battery from quick charging.
You need at least a 1 amp charger to charge and use GPS at the same time. The phone has circuitry in it to prevent "over charging"I use one I got from at&t. It has an additional USB port on it to charge two devices at once

I use this with standard wall charger.
Sorry don't know why my links are messed up.

I use an HTC branded car charger. Charges at the same rate as my wall charger for the LGOG

I (obviously) have a Nexus 6 and i also own a moto 360.
i wanted to know what would be the best Qi charger
to be able to lay them both on?
The dock for the 360 is nice but i have it set in a good place,
but sometimes i wish i had another charger so i dont have
to go to the same spot all the time.
So if im just sitting on my couch i wanna have another charger
to be able to just lay my stuff on and it charge...
Thanks!
I have a spare USB-C cable from my Nintendo Switch, also a spare charger from an old iPad. Is it safe to use them to charge my phone?
I've read people saying they won't use any other acessories other than OP, and other people saying it is safe to use 3rd party stuff as long as it is good quality brands (I assume Nintendo and Apple would be considered to be good quality).
So... is it safe? Would you do it? Why?
Thanks a lot!!
Personally I don't see any issue with this as long as the USB-C cable has the proper 56k resistor in it. I would assume that an official Nintendo cable would have this.
I personally use multiple different chargers for my 6T and good quality cables like Anker or Aukey without any issues at all.

It should be safe.
It's not going to deliver more than 1.5A. The phone won't fast charge with anything but. "dash" charger.
Shouldn't be a problem, i sometimes use my wife's Samsung Note 8 charger on my phone, it's no dash charging but it does do a job.
There are amazon brands which are equally good and way cheaper than Nintendo or Apple stuff: AmazonBasics, Anker, Aukey,...

ive used my ZTE Axon 7 charger and my personal favorite aftermarket usb type-c cable, Anker, with no issues. it does not show the dash, warp, wth ever speed icon, but it works fine without frying my phone. that being said, i do typically just use the oem cable and charger. i think speed is the only tradeoff, but its quick charge 2 vs [one plus faster charge] so its a few min faster to use OEM is the only IRL difference i've seen.

The whole myth about using 3rd party cables and chargers can vary. Brands such as AmazonBasics, Anker, Aukey, and other reputable brands will be perfectly fine to charge with, but not dash charge (not that it will hurt the phone, it will only charge at normal speeds). OnePlus phones can only dash charge with OnePlus accessories, and do not support Qualcomm charging standards. Cables and chargers from other devices such as Nintendo, Apple, Google, HTC, etc. should also be safe to use. Charging with cables from brands you've never heard of, have bad reviews, known they don't have the proper 56k resistor or cables from that $50 RCA tablet you bought may work, but I doubt will have the necessary USB protection for charging.
Instead of spending $20 on an Apple Lightning cable (that will break in a year) costs more money than buying a $7 Anker cable on Amazon. So yes, I would do it not only for saving money but for convenience sake of having more cables.
