How to charge phone in Europe?

I am going to Europe in a couple of weeks and wonder about charging my droid incredible 2 phone there -- can I use my regular charger there, since they have 250 voltage as compared to our 120v here? I know that I will have to get a wall plug adapter, but can I use my charger?

I actually just had the same problem but found out how to solve the issue.
Problem:
Battery #1: 100%
Battery #2: 0% (plugged in, NOT charging)
2-Step Solution:
1. You must first Undock the tablet from the keyboard.
2. Unplug the the charge cable from the keyboard and plug it back in the same place.
A flashing red light should now appear instead of the white one.
After that, your status should finally say, 'plugged in, CHARGING'
How that works for you all =P

Charging phone in europe

I am traveling in europe and forgot my phone charger. Can I use the hotel charger or will it fry my phone?

The original Apple USB power adapter can charge your phone using 110V and 220V.

Charge it when you want to for as long as you want to. I charge mine overnight, every night, so it has a full charge when I start the day.
BTW, checking a dozen irrelevant categories does nothing to help get a response, and just muddies the category pool making it harder for anyone searching on category to find what they are looking for. It isn't a polite thing to do.

If Apple replaced the battery, contact them to check the phone, the battery replacement is covered by a warranty.

How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable. But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
Note 1: I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer. This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)... but I haven't tested this on any other configurations. Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
Note 2: This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB. All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB. If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method. To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
Note 3: If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up. Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
Note 4: I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message. This is my first (and only) post here... I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"! I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up... it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond. I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though.
Note 5: I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution. I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here. However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
Note 6: Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows. Period. Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows." Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver. (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.) And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own. I used to LOVE Palm devices... I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends. But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm. No more for me.
OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
1) If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer. You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section. (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
2) As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer. Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step. (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
3) If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device. If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
4) Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer. If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer. These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be. You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
5) Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
6) Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
7) PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop). Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player. (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.) When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
8) PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
9) To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red. You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status. To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on. I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes. You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on. Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
10) If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows. To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
11) You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
12) Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
-- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
-- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
-- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
-- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
-- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
Best of luck to all who need this!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

Using phone in Europe

What do I need to do to be able to use my phone in Europe, I have a plan with Verizon.

If you aren't able to unlock your phone (as wjosten suggested and his idea of using local sims would be the cheapest way to travel), can you see if Verizon offer international roaming plans to add to your phone service to reduce the cost of the bill. Please note that if you do use an international roaming plan, there are usually voice plans and data plans. On the whole, it is difficult to track just how much data will come through from email so I'd be cautious with applying a data plan. What I request people do (I manage a fleet of phones) is turn off data roaming so that they use data only in wi-fi zones. This can save you a great deal of money.

Charging ipad in europe

Im from mexico, if I go to europe would I need an AC convertor to charge my ipad or I would only need the outlet plug

While the Apple kit is great, for the most part, there is one of each type of adapter, I think two for Europe.
You probably already own the cables.
Please note that the adapters for UK - Ireland and England, use a three prong outlet, while in most of Europe it's a two round prongs. (Some packages call these adapters for Europe or southern Europe. They're the same.)
It's inexpensive to buy three of what you need, depending on your needs. If you're travelling alone or with friends who will buy their own, you'll probably have plenty with three. If you're travelling with family, you might consider more. If that's the case, you might want to consider a power strip with more outlets (some have usb included)
so you can charge phones, ipads, cameras, ipods, etc. all at once. We have been bringing a power strip on vacations and weekend trips for years (in carry-on bags.) Everything gets charged overnight. Someone pointed out in another thread last week that Amazon sells a power strip for the UK, so my guess is that they'll have one for Europe, too.
Individually, the adapters are about $3.00 each. See which will work for you.
Hope this helps.

Charging a smartphone on a daily basis has pretty much been par for the course for 7 years now unless you just don't use it at all...
Maybe you could clarify just how much it's draining and with what kind of usage...
Look at Settings>General>Usage... scroll down and look at the statistics for usage and standby. Keep track of this for a day or so.

How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

Is there a way to view how much charging time is left when charging iPod?

Is there a way to view how much charging time is left when charging our iPods (without having to disconnect and play a song to see the little battery icon)? The iBooks tell us the percentage and approximate time left to full charge. This would be a great feature for iPods as well, right? How can we suggest such a feature to the Mac techs for the next update?
5th Generation iPod, iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

determining an ipods estimated remaining battery life is difficult because it doesnt know how long the backlight will stay on, how many times you change a songs, etc.
those are all variables that change the amount of battery

Re: How to keep phone #on prepaid plan if u drop service for 2 months, then resume?

Re: How to keep phone number on prepaid plan if you drop service for 1-2 months and then resume?
Thanks for the replies !
I pasted in the link to the discussion I started earlier. Dont see a way to respond to replies. If there is a way to do this, would love to know pls!
I may want to drop the monthly service for 2 months or more. So the offer to reserve a number for $100 is actually more appealing than paying 49 monthly for more than 2 months. I just cant find a way to pay it that doesnt get lost in monthly payments
I have tried the cust service number for pre paid. It's menu driven, no option at all to speak with anyone, and no option that matches my question. It's nothing more than a set of text that is accessed by the telephone. One way communication, no chance to get any help :-( Disappointing. And Chat is still busy :-(
Thanks for reading and any tips!

If you don't get the option to reply then refresh and log back in, your login most likely timed out.
As for calling in I just called

I waited 2 mins 36 seconds with no menus and got a human.

While both the iPhone and the iPad use an Apple dock cable for charging, the iPad wants a 1100 mA charger, and the iPhone charger's a 500 mA charger. USB ports on newer Apple computers can switch into 1100 mA mode, but your average computer is going to put out no more than 500 mA and, possibly, quite less (for example, an un-powered USB hub will only put out 100 mA or so, and an iPad won't charge off that). The iPad will say "not charging" if it is trickle-charging (receiving less than 1000 mA of power).
If the problem persists when using the 1100 mA iPad charger, you need to take it to an Apple store and have it serviced or replaced. Bring the iPad charger that you received with the iPad as it may be that the charger is defective and not putting out 1100 mA.
If the problem is that it charges slow because it's being connected to iPhone chargers or PCs or older Macs, then it's not a problem with the iPad. It's charging, it just takes a long time because you are using an under-powered charger.
