Besides the LG Optimus S Chargers

[hearttstrong]

What Chargers can i use? I swear I go through these USB cords like nothing. Sprint gives me ty ones from the back or used ones that have brought back that half way work. I was thinking of using the HTC or BlackBerry. I have the bb adapter that goes in the wall. Just need a cord. I guess my second question is will any of the other cords fit the blackberry adapter or should I just go ahead and buy another? Thanks! Any answers will be helpful.

Is your Optimus running the 2.3 Gingerbread update? Some people had issues with charging and USB connectivity after updating.

What he said, to the point that I have to question the USB jack on the Optimus.

Nope it's still running on 2.2.2; I just ordered the HTC charger but, I wanted more opinions incase this doesn't work either.
Right now I'm using the BB curve USB on my computer and it's not charging at all. It'll go to 10% and then go back down 5. :/

My back up charger is a Palm from my old pro. Same stats as my lg. Works great.

The main thing if you want it to work right is to look at the polarity, the voltage, and the amperage. With the wall warts, if the polarity and the voltage match your LG charger, just be sure the amperage is at least 700mAh. With car chargers, most are compatible. Hell, I bought a unit for $7 at a Mexican flea market that works great.

The ZVH "update" is known to be more problematic. It would seem that any voodoo apprenticeship or karma you can acquire is your best bet there. If that fails, try the old "Mekalekah hi, meka hiny ho!" while channelling your Chi through your cable box on nights with a cool breeze and sufficient ectoplasmic readings.

i've used my fiance's charger from her samsung phone, as well as used my Garmin GPS charger with a mini to micro USB adapter which I picked up for like 99 cents.

I've been using my wife's kindle charger and it works just fine.

I've murdered many a charger with this phone, and with any phone i've ever had before this one i've never had an issue with...

i think the phone is just a charger murderer..

BB ones dont work well for me, I'm using an EVO charger now... (only usb port so it charges SLOW...)
