Like my Android. USB charging is USB charging right?

I use monoprice's version. They charge fast, but consequently run pretty hot. - Reagen Oct 20, 08:40
i think mostly yes. there could be differences i guess in how many amps this pushes vs your cell charger. - TFox Oct 20, 08:39 7
- The weird thing is, they are not. - The Ruiner Oct 20, 08:47 6
  - my wife's blackberry won't charge through a cord that's connected to a USB hub. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:53
  - SheFox ran into one like that too. So I think they're mostly interchangeable, esp as they get closer to accepting a standard. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 08:51
  - really? I've never come across this. I've used my wife's charge on my phone and didn't have a problem. - sycor killer Oct 20, 08:50 3
    - Yeah, Amy's new phone uses our old equipment (we had the same previous phones). -- nm - The Ruiner Oct 20, 08:58
    - that's what she said? -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:53 1
      - possibly. I rolled over and went to sleep when it was done. -- nm - sycor killer Oct 20, 08:56
Those cords look defective. - The Ruiner Oct 20, 08:38
