[Q] car charger - XPERIA X10 General

hi, just got x10 but i have for it 2 car chargers and both not working, does anyone know do i have to change some settings in phone? cheers for any help

Is your car lighter ok?

i have a similar problem,.... i have a USB cigarette lighter adapter that i used on my previews phone,....
it doesnt work when i try to charge my X10,... (im using the original SE data cable,....)

A lot of the standard car chargers won't work for X10 for some reason.. they must be wired slightly differently.. you need to order one which is X10 compatible. I had a Jabra adapter which I tried with my USB cable and it didn't work..
Also - This thread should be in the Accessories section. MOD - can you please move?
Thanks.

Just a note of advice here... Make sure you're using a USB POWER cable instead of a DATA cable. If you're using a cable other than the one supplied with the X10, it may not work for charging.
FYI: The Motorola microUSB chargers work perfectly fine with the X10

There is a fix for your problem in this forum. Take yourself a digital meter or something like this and check if there is resistance.
If they are not connected (I bet they aren't) just solder the two data pins in your charger together (middle pins). Then it should
work!

ya, my blackberry car charger works perfectly with the x10

I bought 2 chargers the other day. They both worked. Only paid $3.50 per charger too and got free shipping because I have amazon prime:

I'm using the Nokia charger and it's working great so far.

Dual Shock 3 Controller Charger

If you find one of these at your local Game/Electronics Store, grab it.
It's a simple converter brick that plugs into a wall socket through a cord on one end and has two USB ports on the other for charging PS3 controllers. I bought one for my PS3, but then quickly snagged another that I carry with me to charge my Fuze and PSP.
For $20 USD, you can't do much better.
One odd note: It seems to register as a PC when you plug in, as it brings up the 'Sync' menu rather than just quietly charging. A Minor annoyance considering the massive convenience. (I keep my 'official' charger at home and use this deal for travel.)

That's not a bad idea.
Recently I got a Dell E6400 from work - there's an option in the bios to allow one usb port to provide power even if the device is "off" - I've been using that option so I don't have to lug an additional power cord; hopefully more laptop manufacturers do this
Uhm....
Where is this a bargain, either on cash or size?
eBay: random tiny cheapo USB wall adapter
So just counting USB ports, for 20 bucks you can do about 10 times better than this

Nice.
I've purchased cheapo USB Wall Chargers before though, and they're frequently either badly constructed or not strong enough to keep a device charging while it's in use.

[Q] Chargers compatibility

I have bought a usb charger on ebay, but it doesnt work with X10, any solution? Why?
The charger:

1. This belongs in the Accessories section
2. The answer to your question: because the SE charger has the pin 2 and 3 (the data pins) of the USB pinout shorted. Normal chargers does not have these shorted. Don't ask me why, it just seems stupid and proprietary to me.
Can you explain better? I cant use others chargers? I cant use others microusb cables?

You can use a charger from a blackberry 9700, for sure and the 9000 I think. The bit about pin 2 and 3 shorted is true. I have a cigarette usb charger that came with my bluetooth gps and it would not work with my Iphone/ipod nor with my X10, I shorted or joined pin 2 and 3 ( the middle 2 pins ) and now it works just fine. That unit you bought is it not for the iphone? So you can open up the charger and short out pins 2 and 3 or modify the cable. I suggest you label the cable for charge only as I think it will not allow data to flow.

Superportable and supersound. Builtin battery lasts approx 12 hours per each speaker.
Charging via USB, possible to use Defy (but not so wise...)
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
@goateye yeah thanks, i'm big fan of Logitech, recently, i will decide between X-Mini and Logitech Z120
I have the x-minis too - they are great little speakers

Note 3 usb charging overseas?

Hi everyone I just have a quick question
Right now I'm overseas and the power voltage of this country is 220 v .
I forgot to purchase a wall adapter to charge my phone but luckily my cousins here all have note 3 's
Is it safe if I just plug my usb (that came with the phone) onto their wall chargers/aftermarket wall chargers ?
Here is a picture of my setup

This is very basic. You should always check the charger or any appliances if it has/supports 110V-240V input. Be vigilant.
All chargers have 110V-240V input range, and any usb charger can charge the phone. Check the output amps of the charger, if its lower than the stock charger then it will charge slowly, if its higher than the stock charger then it would charge fast but could damage the battery life as well. Otherwise any USB charger will works fine just after market cheap one may does short-circuit or over heat issues.
Thanks everyone

[Q] MHL not working. Any ideas please?

Hi all,
My Note 3 is using the latest official UK firmware (although it's rooted) and the HDMI MHL feature refuses to work, and I suspect it may be the dock.
I bought this

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically, I plug it all in, it says HDMI connected. I then switch to the HDMI source on my monitor, the phone then quickly says HDMI disconnected, then HDMI connected. However the monitor stays black/in HDMI saving mode.
I was sent a second one from the shop because the first one appeared faulty and the second doesn't work either. I've made a quick vid of my experiences...any ideas?
Shameless bump!
I don't know much about MHL, so I can't give you specifics, but I know there are 2 different pin configurations. The MHL cable I have came with a little tiny adapter for that, and the only way it works is if I plug the adapter into my phone, plug the MHL into the adapter, and plug power into the MHL. Maybe it's something similar?
Mine isn't Samsung, but this is basically what my cable looks like, with the adapter thing....
Cheers, yea I did wonder about that. It's one of these mass produced Chinese items so maybe the sellers have got it wrong and it's not Note 3 compatible at all! I've messaged them and I'll see what they say about it all. Cheers
