Problems with Chargers for the Pro

[marmot8]

is there any reason for concern when using a $4 ebay charger?

bought a few of these - they work fine:

Amazon.com: Motorola Micro USB Rapid Compact Travel / Home Charger with 850mAh Output: Electronics


these too:

Amazon.com: Motorola SPN5400 Rapid Vehicle Power Adapter for Motorola Droid A855: Cell Phones & Accessories

Funny you should bring this up.

I used a micro-usb charger I had sitting around the house this weekend and it had the weirdest effect--when it was plugged in the phone froze up. I could use the keyboard but the touch screen and the other hardware buttons (side, power, volume) as well as the home row (touch) all stopped working.

The moment I unplugged it, the touch screen worked again.

I didn't press my luck so after doing this a few times and confirming the effects, I put the charger in a drawer on its own.

I find the fastest charge is my ipad charger + a micro USB charging cable...Takes around an hour from 20% to 100%.

I've found some of the cheapo chargers available on ebay barely work or don't work at all. I don't think this Droid related - it happened to me witha BB as well.
