Just wondering if it's ok to use a 2A charger with the HTC one or will it damage the battery or phone?

Too fast of a charge may damage the battery. It looks like a 1A came with the phone, it's best to stick with using that.
A mA = milliAmp = thousandths of an Amps = .001 Amps
So,
1000 mA = 1 Amp
Therefore,
570,000 mA = 570 Amps
You don't have to be a Electrical Engineer, although I am one, to figure out there's a problem with the app's scaling.
Also, you could hook your phone to a 10A source and it would not make things any better or worse. The phone is supposedly current limited to 1 Amp, which many of us are not happy with. "Current Limited" means the phone will never pull more than the amount stated. Many of us would like to see the One be able to pull around 2A, but HTC has limited it for some odd reason.
Finally, if you go to your Power settings, you can see what charge mode your phone is in right underneath the "<Power" label at the top of the screen. It will either say "Charging (USB)" or "Charging (AC)". If it's charging USB, I think its limiting itself to 500 mA (1/2 Amp) as that is the USB spec for computers, etc. If it charging AC, then it's getting one full Amp, which you tend to get off of wall chargers and some cigarette lighter adapters with the right "charge cable".
For those of us who use this for navigation, you have to get the right cigarette lighter adapter and a "charge cable" to get a full amp charge for navigation while screen is on.
