Why doesnt my old Car Charger charge the Amaze 4G?

---

Hi There,

I have had a dual USB car charger in my car for 3 years now (its something like this), I charge everything that has a USB cable with that, so now I got my Amaze and it either charges very slowly or doesnt charge, in fact the phone says the "power is no enough to charge the phone" or something like that even though it shows its charging and the orange light glows. I think the charger is 500mAh and that may be the issue. At home I use a Blackberry charger 700mAh and its great charges everything fast.

I was hoping someone who has car charger experience could chime in! This phone needs a better battery, or needs all the spying apps wiped out that constantly drain the battery, seriously does google need to know my every move and what direction I am pee'ing at the gas station? Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think all information about all sensors (including mic and keyboard) are constantly sent to both Google, CIQ and HTC. At least with the G2 it was only being sent to Google, otherwise how the hell does the phone use up 1730mAh of battery when you barely use it??

Thanks!!

It's not Google that wants to know if you're peeing against the wind...its T-Mo...lol The charger I use works fine...its a USB Cig Lighter and I'm using my old Moto USB Chord. I also have a regular cig Lighter charger and it works fine too...

Phones nowadays require a lot more power. This should do the trick

i bought this abut two weeks ago, it does the job pretty good. I used this for my little road trip to san marcos from san antonio, gps was on and brightness was about 50% if not a little bit more but was still abe to see it with the sun out. anyways it kept my phone charged, it may have shown 90% was left but i had reset the phone battery life was at 100% i would recommend this charger to anyone.

u bought a car charger at walmart for my nexus1, now that i got the amaze i used that same charger but it seems like its not charging my amaze or maybe it just could'nt keep up.. like one time me and my girlfriend was on a trip, i was using the gps, battery was halfway so i plugged it in then after a while i had this battery is less than 20%.. so i ended up using my girlfriend's vibrant.. then my younger brother bought a MT4G which came with some extras including a car charger, so i tried his charger and my amaze is charging perfectly fine..

I have the same exact problem, I am glad you posted this now I will look for a My Touch 4G car charger. Does the charger look like this with the extra tip?

i dont think so.. the MT4G did'nt actually come with a car charger, it was like bundled with the phone.. so maybe a different charger would work..

I remember reading somewhere that the car chargers today are 1 amp nowadays and I believe the amaze uses a charger that is 1 amp.

I bought a car charger from ebay, if this charger doesnt work im just gonna get a power inverter.
