nokia have micro usb on some of their phones... i'm not 100% sure which models, 6500 Classic, 6555, 8600 Luna, 8800 Arte i think...

i use a car charger from the orange shop

I think the Toshiba because of its USB host is very picky about the charger it uses.

I have tried 3 now!

No name brand - 5v 500ma. Charges the phone just fine....but doesn't charge it quick enough, when navigating etc, it uses more power than it can charge

Blackberry 5v 500ma - lovely long cable length, better than the one above but same problem.....just drains a bit slower!

Samsung 5v 700ma - cable a bit short but charges the phone fantastically and works just fine!


Edit - Most phones from most of the major phone companies will support charging through micro USB. I wish they kept with mini usb.....micro is too flimsy!!

problem sorted

TG01, as well as nokia car charger, need to have the Rx and Tx pins shorted (connected together). so i opened my car usb charger and shorted the Data+ and Data- (Rx&Tx) pins and now everything is fine. i can use the usb cable as data cable, and when i connect it to my car usb charger, it starts charging!

hope this helps

your car charger should have a usb A connector like this

all you have to do is solder together pins 2&3

thanks bud - that was just what i needed to understand

cheers
