Do not use the Storm Charger.

[HolyGrail]

I've been using the EnV Touch charger at nights and my other one at work and I haven't noticed issues yet and it seems fine but this thread did an incredible job of freaking me out.

This is what I call fanning the flames of fear. The moment I saw this thread I thought "here we go again."

IMHO there is no proof of what the OP claims. I'm going to continue to use my storm charger as I am doing right now. This isn't the first time this has been brought up, probably wont be the last. But its just a theory, by no means is it a proven fact.

Well excuse me for trying to give a heads up, I wasn't trying to freak out anyone. As for proof.....this is not even about proof. I noticed what could be a potential problem with using a different charger, so I brought it to the forum's attention, which a responsible person would do. I don't know what the long term effect may be, could be nothing would happen at all, but at least its good to be informed.

Hopefully someone can confirm or at least try what I was describing before they flame me for trying to keep our droids safe. Fear and being cautious is two different things.​

While we're on this subject, does anyone know if this is a good charger? It's the Rocketfish charger and it's micro-usb. I bought it because it was cheaper then Verizon's. It was only $20 at Best Buy.

I'm sorry to hear and read you got flamed for it. I know when my Storm charger is plugged in and I try to text message someone, it gets a little sensitive on the screen and small quirks like that. I don't believe it will harm my Droid though so I continue to use it. I guess the topic title says "Do not use the Storm Charger". Maybe that is what people were referring to mostly.

I believe that the issue is when a charger (such as the Storm charger) is operating at the low end of the specs for power output. I think this due to some having no problems and others have issues.....

Just my .02

Not siding with one person or another but I also am using a Storm charger without problem. I dont use the phone while its charging though so maybe there is something to it.
