Car Charging the Omnia 2

[Guest Dr12]

Quick questions about charging my phone. It seems that I can only find USB car chargers with output of DV 5.0 Volts and 1 Amps. The Omnia charger outputs DV 5.0 Volts and 0.7 Amps. The 5V-1A charges do work with the USB cable, but I think it short circuits the batter. I say this because when my battery is at 30% and I use the charger, after about 5 minutes, my phone shows that the batter is at 100%. After unplugging and using, the percent never drops. After using the phone for a bit and a soft reset of the phone, I see the phone battery at 15%.

Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? I never thought that a change in 0.3 amps could mess up the phone charging system. In the end, I can’t use the chargers because they won’t charge the phone.

Typical USB spec is:

5V

0.5A

So yours deliver to much of the current if it is really 1A

i may be wrong..

but the 1a is MAX amp delivery (capacity)

your phone should draw whatever it needs, up to 1 amp

having less means your phone charges slower

having more means your phone can charge faster.. IF it WANTS to..

it should not affect how your phone chargers your battery ( other than show it down if its too low)

(long gone are the days when the charger WAS THE CHARGER, now its not anything but a power supply)

(most of my usb chargers for the house run from .8 to 2 amps)

nutz

correct me if im wrong.
