I ordered the same one. Just had the email to say it was shipped.
All being well I should get it in a day or so

Just to say, be careful with cheapo chargers from Ebay.
see my video for what happened to my touchscreen on my HTC desire

Surprised you didn't get any response to this - very interesting.
What is that touch screen test app you were using?

I know I'm of no help (sorry) but which case is that you are using?
Which is the best in car charger? I got one from 'super e-trader' and its RUBBISH, just off and on all the time!!!
What is different in this charger than any other 1A cigarette charger? I have one 1A cigarette charger and still when running the GPS the battery is discharging instead of charging.... Is this charger somehow different from any other 1A charger?

But then I thought, I wonder if this is in any way damaging to the phone, and that maybe I should leave the phone-end of the data wires unconnected?

it's the phone which detects the short
Don't worry mate, that's not happening. One, it's ridiculously short; two, it's clearly marked.@KlayenDK Whatever you do, don't plug that modified cable (with shorted-pins 2+3) into a laptop/PC

Not as such, but for instance JuicePlotter will show (a) a rising graph, where you can sort of judge from the steepness, and (b) a widget with charge time remaining, which should be half as much (if even that) on AC than on USB.As an aside does anyone know of an app the displays the charging current?

I have the Maplin 1A charger with the centre pins joined so it shows AC Charging on the Desire. I thought all would be well, how wrong I was...
I plugged the Desire into the car charger with it showing 98% charge (AC charging), turned bluetooth and GPS on and arrived 2 1/2 hours later with it showing 9% charge .
Well my thought was that, using this last variant, I would not risk frying a pc... ? I just want to make a cable that's as safe as possible (as well as document here what that is).it doesn't matter where the short on pins 2+3 occurs, they just need to be shorted out.But what you to are saying is that the cable should be modified the other way around, then?Whatever you do, don't plug that modified cable (with shorted-pins 2+3) into a laptop/PC

Cheers, I'll give it a go.Not as such, but for instance JuicePlotter will show (a) a rising graph, where you can sort of judge from the steepness, and (b) a widget with charge time remaining, which should be half as much (if even that) on AC than on USB.
OK first question, how hot was the Phone? There appears to be some form of thermal cut-out that stops the phone charging when the phone reaches a certain temperature. I would imagine that was the reason the Phone was discharging rather than charging. Could this be the reason?
I brought possibly the same cradle kit, as that lead looks like the same sticker as mine.The interesting thing is, that the supplied charger say output 600 - 750ma
I just did a 35min journey, Google Navigation + GPS + Auto screen brightness
According to the battery graph produced by Battery Snap, the charge state rose from 64% to 69% in that 35mins
