Where can I buy a working car charger for the Exec?

[vapor]

I would like to get a car charger that works with the O2 Exec when I am running navigational programs such as Garmin Que and TomTom. I have tried more than 5 chargers but no luck thus far.

If anyone has any to recommend, do let me know. I am located in Singapore.

i use my car charger from my gps that is the Holux 236, the only think i have to do so that it starts charging is turn it off on the button and the led will change to orange, i have tried one other charger that has a usb plug and it worked fine ! So has long as it has a usb plug you'll be alright and if you do not find one look for the Motorola car plugs that it will probably work on Uni since it has a mini usb plug

The charger from M3000 works fine with my Uni :)
And the Motorola Mini-USB chargers doesn't work...

Hi, I found that this issue is connected with proper usb cable not with charger itself (usb mini have 5 connector but in some cables only 4 are connected and in some other cables all 5 are connected and so are the difference). I was also trying many chargers and no luck. But I ve tryied charger with other cable and suddenly all chargers start charging my jasjar.

Anyway, the bad thing is it stops whitout any reason so now charging jasjar in my car is a real mystery for me.

regards,
Piotr

Be careful if buying one with a double USB output - I bought a few different models hoping to power both Exec and the Holux GPSlim-236, but all failed. They would power the Exec, but as soon as the Holux was connected, it would always cause the Exec to continually reboot - fortunately "soft". Make sure the supplier will take them back if it doesn't work.
Try a car charger with a USB socket on the end that takes a separate Sync/Charge cable.

The problem is, the exec is very power hungry, especially when the batt is dead !! you need a high current charger at least 1A (1 amp) the charger used with the blackberry (I forget which model) is suitable as is the genuine exec charger obviously.

O2 Atom car charge will work with O2 Exec as well as A/C charger from Atom

Got an o2 branded one today for the Exec/Mini - works like a charm (Charges my SPV and runs Tt at the same time) but cost me £14.99 for the privelage! :(

could you post a link to the website? I would love to purchase one but am currently located in Singapore and so far all the charges don't seem to work for me.

I would love it but can you confirm that it would charge the phone while running navigational programs?

You can email me at akastealth@hotmail.com to discuss the price and shipping.

Hi All!
I've also tryed 2 diferent car chargers and 1 USB Pluggable Car Charger (some noname chineese 3-rd party) with 3 diferent cables, and one 3-rd party AC Power Charger. They ALL worked strange.
I can confirm that to make them all work I should:
1. Switch off the Universal;
2. Plug in the chgrer in to Universal;
3. Wait until the Red Light on.
Now I may turn the Universal On, and see the "Charging" battery status.

The reason and how to fix:
As you may see I used different adapters. All they have from 0.5 to 1.0A output circuit. But, the USB ports I used with my laptops have only 0.5A output and always start charging the Universal.
So, I dont think the output power is the reason.
The most likely - it is the "5-th pin" issue, which is mentioned above here. Can somebody provide information about power connection for the Universal?
It seems the solution is about to interconnect/short circuit 2 wires in the car adapter' cable to make the Universal charging in a usual way with any of my (your) "non-working" car adapters.

Also, I've noticed, that in a case the battery level around 30% and I plug in the "non working adapter" and no red light and system not is in the "Charging" state -- the battery is charging anyway!

Also, let me remind you about another issue that the Universal have: Active Sync (older versions) would not sync (USB Device not recognized error) if you plug in the Universal if the power is On.
To workaround that you have to switch off the Universal, plug the cable and after that you could successfully sync. The same symptoms? May be the same reason?

I would advice anybody not to mess with interconnections in USB, I mean stop soldering and checking because its shortest road to bricking Your precious jasjar. It can be done with proper cable and you have to find the right one ;-)
Secondly - I found that jasjar Rom is also responsible for charging issues. As I stated earlier I finally found good usb cable but later on I lost an ability to charge Uni. in the car. After upgrading to the Aku3.2 rom it start to charge immidiatelly. Same charger and cable - one time it charge, second time it dont. So additionally to cable theres something with soft with preventing Uni. from charging.

man why is it such a complicated issue to get the universal to charge? and it seems that this charging problem only happens to the universal and not any other device, am i right?

YESSS! I Have upgraded to on of that Aku3.2 recently! May be it is the reason! But, my original Power adapter still charges my Uni so does the USB conndction to the laptop...

To ALL: Could you please confirm that you can use third-party adapters with the older ROMs?

hopefully we can get some updates soon.

Are all chargers the same? I would think that the USB power rating would be the same. So, I should be able to charge the Jasjar using a charger for a Motorola RAZR (if I weren't so afraid of blowing up the Jasjar)

not all are the same. while its rated at 500mAh for computer USB ports, its been known to fluctuate from 500-1000mAh for other connections.

well I have gone through a few chargers and holedrs for my XDA Exe but once i got the one I have all my problems went. got mine from ebay MR BUY BITS.

Where do you mount the GPS? Does it require a separate holder?

[two4one]

Well this is a charger and holder combined. The holder has got the TomTom HOLDER "build" in it. It attaches to the window screen. Can only take the universal phone because this what it was built for. It gives a tight fit to the phone. the usb connection is inside the holder and once the phone is slotted in thats it. fits exactly and chargers briliantly.

Every time I get out of my car my phone is fully charged. most of the times I dont even bother charger in the house. Will definetly charger while TomTom is running something which my old chargers could not do.

Its alovely charger and if you love you phone XDA Exe/JASJAR/UNIVERSAL/qtek 9000 then THIS IS THE CHARGER AND HOLDER YOU NEED.
