Rezound Power and Data cable

[mpotts]

Got a Rezound today. Prior to this, I was using an HTC Droid Incredible. Are HTC cables universal, such that I can use my Incredible cables with the Rezound? They look to be the same shaped ends, but there are small differences. I don't want to do any damage by trying to slide a cable into the port that is not made to go in there. Thanks.

No problems using the power cables from my old D-1. I think you'll be fine.

Yes...Android phones do not use proprietary hardware. They should all be interchangeable.

The weird ends are HDMI MHL ports, which is like a normal Micro-usb plus more. The ports themselves are compatible...I use my Droid 1 charger to charge my Rezound just fine. No adapter needed.

That will work fine.

Indeed you can use either cable! Relief, I was charging it today and it hit me that the charger looks like a different size so I wouldn't be able to rely on going to someones house and using their charger lol thanks god its the same!

Technically some of the HTC phones use (or at least used to) use a proprietary connector called the HTC ExtUSB, but it is an extension of the mini-usb and you can use standard mini-usb for it.

Micro USB charging cables for most Android phones are interchangeable. I've used chargers from the original Motorola Droid, Droid X, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus to charge various phones (and a Nook Color) from various manufacturers. If you're ever looking on Amazon for a spare chargers for the office or travel, try searching for other brands, not just your particular phone. I've picked them up on Amazon for as little as $3 and they work perfectly.

And 500ma is the normal charging power. There are 800ma and 1000ma chargers out there. I'm going back to my optimus forums now.

Don't waste your money on getting chargers from Amazon or anywhere. Monoprice.com has all sorts of cables at actual prices, not super inflated crap Best Buy and most other retailers charge.

The Rezound comes with a 5V/1A charger. I strongly recommend using one with simlar specs. You can use one at lower amperage, but it will charge slower.
