I am using the Cingular 8125, which I think is the same as the Wizard. Since I travel frequently I thought I could buy one of those USB power adapters (with a USB connection) and recharge my 8125 through the included USB cable. This works fine with my PC. A strange thing happened: the battery indicator told me the battery was charging. the 8125 had about 50% left when I hooked it up, and when I checked later after I disconnected it, it said 87%. However, this number went down in fron of my eyes, about 1% a second until it stabilized at around 45%. I think, the chrager did not work at all! Does anybody know what the requirements for a USB charger are to work? The one I have says 5V, 300 mA. I figure that may be too small, since the charger that came with the device says 5V, 1A. Or is there anything that would prevent the device from charging with a non-HTC charger?
