I ordered a combo kit from amazon, very cheap. I know some chargers lock up the screen, but this one had a review from someone with an Inc. saying it was fine. Anyway, wall charger locks screen, but shows it is charging, led lights up. Car charger works fine, no screen locking up.

So... am I doing any damage to my phone using wall one? Was thinking I would just use overnight when phone is off. Anyone else using one that locks phone?

I can always just toos wall one, and keep the car one, still great deal for the $4 is spent.

Thanx for any info.

I would be hesitant to use any charger that caused the phone to not work correctly. I can't say for sure whether or not it's doing damage to the phone, but I think this would be one of those times where it would be better to be safe than sorry.


Yep was thinking the same thing, just figured I would ask if anyone is using one like this before tossing the dumb thing.

Thanx for the reply
