Connect your Diamond with mini-B USB connector

[cina]

Hi!

I've tried out that Diamond can charge, connect and communicate with PC/Charger through a standard mini-B USB connector. (read more... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB)) You do not need that special "one-corner-rounded" connector that came with your device!

I use a charger that I've got for my Bluetooth GPS and it's a bit quicker than the normal HTC charger (HTC: 0.5A, GPS: 1A). No adverse effect can be found on battery life. Heating from battery during charging is normal.

I attach a few images to be exact.
Use this plug with a caution that warranty might be broken if device get damaged with non-HTC charger.

Regs, Cina.

I must admit that i also use a regular mini usb cable which has the same connector as your one. didn't even notice that it was different from the HTC one.
Anyhow, connected it to my pc, so i don't think the amperage would be differen.t

You've posted what was long discovered in serveral topics :P

Hopefully that question won't be asked anymore, leaving more quality topics on serious unanswered items.

That was not a question, man!
OK, I found it discussed in Accessories. Thx.
No flame anyway.
