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 :mad:

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! :D


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

Hi!!

Anyone can please say something!!!???

I really need a car charger.

(But I have 3 car charger and several HTC wall charger with mini USB
and I have one S200 for my private number/replacement for the TG01)

I bought from the ebay 1 converter (mini->micro usb) but don´t work in the TG01
(don´t have another phone with micro usb to test if the problem is in the converter or "tg01").

Can anyone share what converter I need to buy?

Thanks
