HTC Hero :: Car Charger Genuine Vs Compatible
May 20, 2010
I lost my fake HTC Hero car charger and am considering getting a new one. My question is do unofficial chargers affect the overall battery life? Are genuine ones actually worth getting given the difference in price? I feel like in the 3 months I've had my phone the battery life has gone really bad but it could be because I have used it as a satnav a lot and had it plugged into my car even maybe when it didn't need charging.

I am using the OEM charger on my Dinc and nothing else. I randomly get a message something like, "The charger you are using is not compatible with your device. Remove the charger now to avoid damage to your phone". I have not used anything other than the OEM charger ever. It isn't loose or frayed or bent strangely. It also seems to charge even though the message pops up. For now, I'm using my computer's USB port to charge it but man, that's SLOOOOOOOOW. It has done it since I first got the phone and before I had even installed my first app. It also does it after a factory reset and reprogram. Customer service is sending an aftermarket wall charger free of charge until I can get an OEM unit as they are obviously out of stock.

Is the palm pre charger compatible with the evo? I forgot my charger at work and the only charger that I have at home is for the palm pre. The plug fits in the evo and light turns on when charging so it should work right?

I have plugged my blackberry charger and my car charger into my Dinc and received a message that said, "The charger you have plugged in is not compatible with the phone. Please unplug it before it ruins your phone", that's not word for word but you get the idea. I had my phone on the stock charger the one that came with the phone on the phone over night and I got up this morning and and it said the same thing that my charger was incompatible and could ruin my phone. Is this a bug in the phone and has anyone else experienced this?

That`s a indication that the charger is not compatible. Don`t use other charger when charging because it is not safe. Charging from a charger that is not compatible to your phone can cause danger or harm to you and to your phone. There is a possibility that it will overcharged or battery will explode.

I was wondering if this car charger would work with the Moto Droid. I know the Moto Droid has a Micro USB, and it says mini usb. If anything I might just buy a adapter for Mini to Micro. Anyone have any idea? Thanks all!

Can I use my Blackberry charger on my Eris? My chargers are next to each other and I accidentally plugged it in the other day. It fit and the Eris's battery indicator showed that it was charging. I immediately unplugged it for fear of doing it harm. Are they compatible from a power perspective?

I've got a couple of car chargers from an old Motorola RAZR phone. Will they be compatible with my new Captivate? I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't damage my new phone.

I always buy my handsets sim free, and with my move from Symbian to Android imminent I'm looking to make sure I get a proper, "nothing to do with any network or their trashy tweaks" Desire. Question is, where's the best place to get such a Desire that's definitely not got operator firmware tucked away on it? I appreciate "sim free" should mean this, but can people recommend the likes of Amazon or Play.com (UK stores) for such handsets?

I've pretty much hit the limit for installed apps on my Desire. Unless I root, which I don't really want to do, or get the official 2.2 update, which could take months and months given HTC's track record, I'm stuck with doing a spot of space management. I've got Google Earth installed and it's far and away the most resource hungry app (22MB) Despite the fact that I really like it, as it's a pretty cool app, I'm wondering if it's of any use at all. With google maps, places directory, Layar etc. I seem to have everything I need for navigation and generally 'finding stuff' I can't think of anything I actually need Google Earth for. Does anyone have a genuine use for this app, can it do anything that I can't do elsewhere? 22MB seems like a lot of valuable space for an app that's just there for novelty value.

I'm new to android phone. When I bought my phone, the mobile store gave me some apps including paid for a deal price from dealers. But I found some apps having a prefix in their file name which on googling I found they are piracy developers. But many of other apps provided by them are already free apps from google play. But some are paid apps, for example, AVG mobile antivirus pro. The file is doesn't have any prefix. Is there any way to find if its genuine or not?

Will flashing a froyo rom on the hero make it compatible with flash 10.1? For instance, flashing the Elelinux rom based on froyo or the upcoming Froyo Sense Rom, VillainRom 13. Just wondering if it would work.

Since Bluetooth is sketchy on the Hero, I figure it would be useful to have a list of peoples' experiences with different devices. If you have a Bluetooth device, please reply with it's manufacturer, name, the exact OS you are using, and how well it works. I'll try to keep this post updated.
Stock 2.1:
* Blueant Interphone (motorcycle helmet bluetooth) -- Works
* Jawbone Icon -- Works for both voice and A2DP
* Parrot CK3100 car kit -- Works for voice and enables voice dial
* Plantronics Voyager Pro -- Works
* 2010 Mazda 3 GT with Bose stereo system -- Works for voice but not A2DP
* Blue Ant T1 -- Does not work properly
Stock 1.5:
* Blueparrott B250-XT -- Works
* Foxl G-2 Bluetooth speaker -- Works
Fresh 2.3.3:
* Blue Ant T1 -- Does not work properly

Just a few questions on flashing a new radio on a Sprint Hero, as I'd like to be sure I won't brick my phone and there really don't seem to be many guides on this.
Are certain radios only compatible with certain ROMs? If so, what do you do if you want to flash a new ROM afterwards? In the event a radio flash fails, can you attempt to flash a different one or is your phone pretty much bricked at that point?
I'll probably have more questions later, as the thought of bricking my new Hero is well, I'd really rather not have to go back to my old BlackBerry.

Will virtually any mini-USB based cable, car charger, and wall charger work with my HTC Droid Eris? Mini-USB cables are generally universal, but I want to ensure that I use a compatible car charger and wall charger that won't damage my phone. The official Verizon accessories of course seem overpriced, if any generic solution would work equally well.
For example, I am considering this product on amazon.com: Amazon.com: Home Travel Wall Charger + Rapid Cell Phone Car Charger + USB Data Sync Charge Cable for HTC Touch Pro 2 / Tilt 2 / Hero / Imagio / Pure / Touch Diamond 2 / Droid Eris: Cell Phones & Service. Overall, this mini-USB cable / car charger / wall charger combo gets positive reviews, but I've heard of random glitches for some cheap chargers.

I recently received my Hero's upgrade to 2.1 and have been very happy with the Google Navigation software! However, it's an obviously big drain on the battery, what with requiring GPS and all, so I bought a generic USB car charger from eBay for 99p. It does indeed charge the phone, but not fast enough! I even get an error on the screen telling me that the charge is not enough to stop my battery level falling.
So my question is, are all usb chargers the same? I notice it's also a very slow charge from the PC too and takes a few hours to charge the phone, whereas it only takes 45 mins or so from a wall socket. Can anyone confirm that if I spent ?20 on a 'decent' car charger it will charge fast enough to actually charge the phone while using Google Navigation?..............

Just read that some mobile phone battery chargers use power, even when there no phone connected to charge up. Does this apply to the charger for the Hero? I currently use a electrical timer switch for the Hero charger, but, am I wasting my time doing that?

I am having bluetooth issues in regards to turning off BT and re-syncing. I would like a USB to 3.5 adapter for the Sprint Hero with a charger so I can simply charge and play music from my AUX jack in the center console. Once with a remote would be even snazzier.

This seems to be a strange issue and one I haven't found here or elsewhere through searching.
When I first got my Hero and charged it up, and the second time I recharged the battery, everything was fine. However then the charger started playing up and the battery wasn't charging properly and eventually the battery went completely dead and the charger stopped working altogether.
I took the phone and charger into an Orange store and they confirmed the charger wasn't working, and gave me a new one (which they checked worked in store). So I took the phone home and again, the charger worked fine for a couple of uses but has now stopped working again.
Has anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing the charger to stop working?

Why can't I find a charger for an extra battery? As fast as the battery drains on these phones, it is a pain to have to plug in the whole phone to charge.
