Oh right..someone told me you need an official HTC lead for charging because it messes up your phone :s
Thanks very much
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Who and why?
It's a USB cable... and the HTC one doesn't even look like it's of much quality...
The junk usb cables from ebay doesn't provide much power for charging..
Trust me I've been through this and did alot of testing couple years back. None of the ebay usb cables managed to provide more than 200mA on my old phone and couldn't power on any of my usb hdds. Only the official ones from htc and those that comes with a usb hdd are quality.
If you're only planning to transfer data around then I guess it doesn't matter.

I found one

Looks decent enough, 85 cm is pretty much what i was after plus its £0.61
Got my 2m belkin cable yesterday, trying it out now and definitely faster charging than my no named 3m cable. What is the best way to test it?
Will time it tomorrow when it requires another charge.
Yeh was going to do it that way but makes it 2 days before results or 3 using the cheapo 3m cable too....
Yeah is there an app that measure the current coming out of charger?
In the mean time I would just charge with the original HTC cable for a set period if time and then the same for the Belkin one.
Surely its possible to know how much current is drawn from charger via the device itself? Current Widget claims to do it.
