Hi all,
Can I please get some advice from someone who might know better than me. I have been using the following charger on my travels to charge an iPad and Samsung galaxy nexus at the same time:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skross-Char...?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342643375&sr=1-23
I've just plugged my nexus 7 in on its own and I get nothing.
I didn't think the nexus would need a higher amp than the iPad? The Asus plug that's charging the nexus says its 2amp and the travel charger says its 6.5amp. Am I being amazingly blind or stupid here?
And if I need a new travel charger for my trips into Europe can I have some advice on what to buy before I buy something else useless.
Thanks all!

Nexus 7 trouble with other chargers
I see the same issue.
The Nexus 7 charger lists: Output 5.0V===2.0A, Nexus 7 will charge.
iPad 2's charger shows: Output 5.1V===2.1A;Max 10Watt, Nexus 7 will not charge,
Philips universal charger: Output 5V===2A; Max 10Watt, Nexus 7 will not charge.
Blackberry phone charger Output 5V===500mA, Nexus 7 will not charge.
Blackberry phone charger Output 5V===700mA, Nexus 7 will charge.
To answer the OP: The Amazon product page clearly states Output 5.0 VDC / 1000 mA max. N7 needs 2000 mA (2A). Derping in public again. Don't mind me. :silly:
To add to the list:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Charger: Output 5V ⎓ 2A; Max 10Watt, Nexus 7 will charge.
XtremeMac IPU-IH2-11: Output 5V ⎓ 4.2A (2.1A per port); Max 20Watt, Nexus 7 will not charge. (Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 charges though.)
The N7 seems very picky about chargers, unfortunately. My XtremeMac is now powering my charge cables for my wireless mouse and keyboard, freeing up 2 USB ports, so not all is lost I guess.
I have a 2.1a car charger, but it doesn't charge it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TV88F2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
EDIT: Interesting. It will not work on the car charger wiht my "charging only cable" which has shorted out datapins to register as an AC source. But, it does charge on a normal USB cable.
I have a tf201 charger (here i refer to the usb block, not the cable) that seems to super charge the nexus 7, that is to say, very fast. The tf201 charger is 18 watts. Also, I have noticed my usb 2.0 ports on my desktop will not charge the n7, but my usb 3.0 ports will.

I started a related thread asking if anyone has examined the proprietary aspects of the charger here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780211
Basically, we should be able to build (or eventually buy) some type of adapter to enable proper charging with any 2A charger after we figure out exactly what the charger is doing. I wouldn't be surprised if all Asus tablet chargers already worked properly without an adapter.

This answer is clouding up a lot of legitimate discussions. The current rating doesn't matter to this conversation at all. If the current is above 0 the device should show the charging icon. If not, there is some other problem.

You are correct that my remark about the OP's charger's current was not a valid point. I have stricken it from the record.
That said, some serious weirdness is going on with the N7 regardless. On the XtremeMac charger the N7 will charge. But incredibly slowly, and the battery status reads as discharging, even though the line on the battery graph is rising. I don't even know where to begin in trying to explain that.

Agreed. I bought a pair of dual 2A chargers and neither of them will charge it at all (no charging icon). I tried shorting the data lines and still nothing. The dual charger that came with my Razr will charge it slowly (about 16 hours from 0 to 100%). My old 700ma Blackberry charger works just better than anything other than the OEM charger. Frustrating and I don't want to keep ordering different chargers with my fingers crossed.

I don't know what a XtremeMac charger is, but I'm assuming it's for charging an iphone or ipad or something? the Nexus 7 and the apple products don't share the same charger design, so the Nexus is probably only drawing 500mA while charging from it.
You can also add the MonoPrice 8856 charger to the list that do not work with Nexus 7

I have two chargers that work.
1: Nokia 1.2a fast charger
2: Blackberry 1.8a charger
both have integrated charging cables, which are 6ft in length.
The Asus transformer prime which is a USB charger with proprietary cord also has something weird. Other USB chargers with the same power specs connected with the Asus USB cable won't charge the prime. Or they charge where it literally takes like 24 hours to reach 100 percent.
There's something different in that Asus power plug on both devices it seems.

I'm not sure what It's output is but the standard Verizon branded micro usb charger does a great job charging my N7. I think they for sell around $30 in the VZW stores tho.
The 1.0a charger that came with my LG Revo works great, almost as fast stock. I bought 2 extra of that charger on amazon about 9months ago for under 10 for the pair.
Also the charger for my old Droid (.7a iirc) works as well, but it's slow as hell with the screen off, and barely keeps up with just web surfing.
The Charger with the HTC Desire seems to be charging - though slowly as its a 1A charger.
Does anyone know whether the International Samsung Galaxy S II charger works?
The TF101 charger works great, and fast too - about 1% a minute.
My Samsung SG2 (i777) charger seems to work with the N7
As title.
BTW Great piece of kit.
Yes you can... Mine works fine with it.

I'm using an HP Touchpad 5.4Vdc/2A charger and it works perfectly. My half amp car charger doesn't even register when you plug it in though.
The stock Nexus 7 charger lists DC Output at 5Vdc/2A.
I believe the One X charger is a 5V 1A charger, it should work but you probably won't be able to play while charging. The Nexus 7 charger is a 5V 2A.
heh, im just lazy. I originally had a nexus one and so that is the charger that is all nicely cabled in my house! since i got my One x i have been using the N1 charger for it and it works fine
N7 however doesnt, connect N1 charger to it and N7 flickers between charging and not charging all day
Is it safe to charge my HTC Desire with the Asus Nexus 7 charger? So I don't have to switch out chargers all the time.
My HTC Desire charger is 1A, and Asus is 2A. HTC charger would be underpowered to charge the Nexus but what of the opposite? could Asus charger damage the HTC Desire as it's 2A?

It will charge without/with negligible harm.
I sometimes charge my old SGS1 on my Asus TF300 charger, and I have no issues.

Well an Ampere is defined as a Coulomb (unit of current) per second, so the only difference is that 2 A provides current twice as fast as 1 A, meaning it will charge twice as fast. As long as the voltage is the same or very similar between two chargers, you shouldn't have a problem (theoretically). I'm only speculating though, so if someone else has a better understanding of electrostatics, please correct me.

A charger will only provide as much as the device can pull. If the device can only pull 1A then the charger will only provide 1A no matter how powerful it is. This is a safety feature.

N7 charger is 2.0A, OneX charger is 1.0A, so it will charge half as fast.
Why not, you know, just use the charger that came with the N7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
As long as the voltage is correct there is negligible risk. From reading, it appears that the N7 requires about 1A to sustain during use. Using a 1A adapter shouldn't do any harm, but will not charge during use.
As far as using a 5.4v charger, its within 10%, but I still would only use 5v chargers just in case.

I managed to blow the fuse of a cheap and nasty charger (rated 5V 1A) while using it. Not saying that it was the 7, but it had been in daily use with other devices and this was it's first use with the 7.
Another charger didn't even manage to get the icon to show as charging.
Also seems to take a lot longer charging with a 1A unit, so I'm heading out there to find a 2A unit. One charger is not enough and life is too short.
It will charge, but slowly. The nexus charger is 2A whereas the One X charger is only 1A. My in-car charger for my One X won't charge ,y nexus at all.

all if the above is correct about 1x amp charging the device with one exception. Some batteries. especially li polimar . have very smart logic chips. If you charge with a 1 amp charger and use the device at the same time and are pulling more using the device while charging you can OVER LOAD your Battery causing to much heat and damaging it or damaging the charger. Of course this all depends on the electronics and the logic chips within them on how they are managed.
So i would use caution if you charge and use the DEVICE With anything less then the exact specs of the Charger that came with the device...
I have this issue with my cell phone using a cheap usb car charger... Cost me the price of a Huawei battery..
Just found out that the LG USB wall outlet has a output of 5V or 1.2 amps while my apple and samsung USB wall outlet of 5V or 1.0amps
The regular wall charger for my sg2 had a output of 5V or 0.7 amps
Figure i give a heads up to those who wants to have a shorter charge time.
I got a 2a USB charger that I have always used for this reason sure in wont get the 2a but will at least get max that I can

The charge rate is fixed by the phone. You could have a 100A charger and the battery would still charge at 900mA (in the case of the SGS3 and Nexus 4). The charge rate from USB remains at 450mA

No. It's better to use a stronger charger than a weaker one. The phone will only drain as much as it needs.
If you guys have a N7 you can only carry the N7 charger as it will charge both devices as fast as they technically can charge.
Hi, im just wondering is there any benefit using a 2amp charger on the htc m8 , faster charging ? i know HTC are gonna release a faster charger which is 1.67amp , is it just the amp or it has some feature Quick Charge 2.0 built in you cant get with other chargers ?
the HTC One is rated to support Quick Charge 2.0 capable of accepting up to 60 watts of power – an increase of almost 100% compared to phones with Quick Charge 1.0. The 1.5amp charger bundled with the HTC One (M8), however, does not support Quick Charge 2.0. HTC is planning on releasing an optional 1.67amp charger accessory that will come with the technology later this year

I've used the 2.0A charger that came with my Galaxy S4 and didn't really notice the phone heating up to unusual temps.
You can use a 10A charger if you have one (and it works with your power outlet), the phone should never draw more than the maximum it draws.

I originally used the charger I got with my M8, but then switched to a 2.5amp charger. According to GSam, my time to charge from around 80% to full is around 15 mins, but with the original charger, it was around 30 mins.
So from my experience, it does charge faster. From what I have read about QC2, the technology is in the processor in the phone. The charger can be any type, as long as it is able to deliver up to 60 watts.
See here - http://www.zdnet.com/qualcomms-quick-charge-2-0-offers-75-percent-faster-charging-7000026519/
The tech is actually in both the phone AND the wall charger:
From http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/quick-charge
"While Quick Charge 1.0 rests in the devices only, Quick Charge 2.0 resides in both the device, offered as a standalone IC solution or as part of the PMIC (power management integrated circuit) of Snapdragon™ 800 processors, and in the AC/DC wall charger."
The one you link is worded a little ambiguously:
"Qualcomm hopes to take things further by integrating Quick Charge 2.0 technology into standard micro-USB AC/DC wall chargers. These chargers will look and work like standard chargers, but will be able to deliver Quick Charge to compatible devices."
I tripped on it a couple times when reading it too, but it's implying that the tech does not currently reside in standard chargers, since they're still working on integrating it.
guess i will get the HTC fast charger when out and i bet we should get compatible quick charge 2.0 chargers too
Thanks
The amperage of the charger makes no difference, the device will only ever draw the power it requires to charge, no more. so a 5a charger would be no different to a 2a charger if the phone only draws 1.5a for example. find out what the device needs to charge and get as close as you can to that size for protection reasons

Yes, it will charge it faster. I used my 2amp charger and it did charge it faster. The phone may have some protection built in to protect the phones hardware. But the battery can handle much higher charge rates and the battery shouldn't start heating up till 20-30 amps. Yes, that's right.
I use Li-poly to race electric RC's and we charge them up to 50 amps. This charger will --->http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__46368__iCharger_308DUO_1300W_Dual_Channel_8s_Balance_Charger.html
Most people only charge at 5-10 amps, but to get peak performance, you will need to create a bit of heat and that doesn't happen till 20-30 amps.
Since I jumped from my old note 3tothe m8 I was able to keep the charger and it's a 2A one. Will I get the full 2.0 benefits with it or must I wait for the HTC one?

You will get whatever amp the M8 can take. i assume its 2A
I have a 2amp charger and i use it for my M8. i only see about a 30 min different from using a 1amp charger.
Its not just Amps, quickcharge 2.0 Also bumps up voltage. I tested multiple combinations with my htc one M8, here are my findings:
Quickcharge 2.0 18W Aukey (with regular micro usb cable): 9v/1.1A (~10w)
Quickcharge 2.0 18W Aukey (with data cut off cable): 5v/1.52A (~7.5w)
Wall 5v 2.4A charger: 5v/1.52A (~7.5w)
Stock 5v 1A charger: 5v/0.99A (~5w)
Car 5v 2A charger: 5v/1.3A (~6.5w)
some old 5v 700mA charger: 5v/0.7A (~3.5w)
MacBook Air USB port (2013) (with regular micro usb cable): 5v/500mA (~2.5w)
MacBook Air USB port (2013)(with data cut off cable): 5v/1A (~5w)
Ipad charger rated 5.2V/2.3A : 5v/1A (~5w) (no clue why its so sucky)
Also I noticed m8 once connected to charger (non Quickcharge 2.0) slowly increases charge current. if voltage drops below 4.92v it drops it back to these fixed values, whichever is immediate lower: 3oomA, 500mA, 700mA, 1A, 1.3A, 1.42A. 1.52A
these values are as per multimeters.
my car charger is tricky, it sometimes just falls to 1A instead of 1.3 as it border lines V to 4.92 while at 1.3Amps. (it is rated for 2.4A)

One of the big concerns I had with the proprietary Dash Charging system is whether I'd be able to use previously purchased power banks.
I've been testing my OP3 with the RAVPower 26800mAh powerbank along with the Anker USB-C to USB 2.0 cable.
The powerbank is capable of outputting 2.4a, which produces a quick charge on other devices.
On the OP3, I get between 30 and 57% charge / h (measured using the Battery Monitor Widget app), which is acceptable to me.
It's not Dash Charging speed, but it'll work in case you were wondering.
MI Charger
I have a MI 16,000 mAh portable charger with an output of 3.6A. I am getting a pretty awesome speed on 1 min per percent charge. After charge battery drain is lower compared dash charger.
quote from Android central
"For the first time, OnePlus is including a fast charging system on the OnePlus 3. Rather than go with another standard like Qualcomm's Quick Charge, OnePlus made its own "Dash Charge" system. Dash Charge promises a 60% charge on your OnePlus 3 in just 30 minutes, which is just as fast as any other system — the only catch here is you'll have to use the Dash Charger in the box and the included cable.
Your OnePlus 3 will charge just fine off of other chargers — whether they're Quick Charge 3.0, Nexus Rapid Charge or something else — but you just won't get Dash Charge speeds."
I have the oneplus power bank, I'll see how it charges using the cable that came with the phone.

Seemed like a good choice as outputting 3.6A would be good enough for me. Would you be able to point me a link where to purchase it from? Many thanks.
are you sure the 3.6a isnt a maximum of all the ports on the bank?
usually if they have multiple ports they say a maximum load for all being X, but I've only ever seen a maximum amperage of 2.4a on a port (few and far between) most 2.1a as stated per port.
even then they charge my OP3 at 1.2a using oneplus's cable, same as my s5 beforehand.
there is a great app on the store called Ampere which tells you your current charging/discharging amps

No it is not a flawed theory. The phone does not have the quick charging components in the phone but instead in the charger and cable. Only VOOC and DASH chargers will quick charge this phone. It's not theory it's fact. Anyways fast charging does deteriorate the battery a bit faster than normal charging so it's not good to use it all the time

The VOOC charger is in fact 'not' a dash charger and it charges above 2 amps. So very simply, your postulation is wrong. I took notice that you quickly changed your stance but forgot how convinced you seemed to be.
All of this leads me to believe that there are other chargers even beyond the VOOc and the Dash that can/will fast charge the One plus 3
What's the easiest way to test what amperage a non-Dash charger is charging at? I'm curious to know if some of my Quick Charge adapters will provide 2.4A. I've only done a very brief test with my QC3 car charger, but it gave me 3% in about 4 minutes. That's about what I was getting on a QC2.0 phone, and that's perfectly acceptable in my books.

As far as I know, it will only charge with those specific chargers since it is not only the charging brick holding some proprietary charging solution but also the cable. I have a USB-C cable that can withstand over 4A but will not work even when plugged to the DASH charger. Now yes there may be a charger that quick charges this phone but it'd be very unlikely that it does exist since the cable and brick would have to have the exact specifications as the DASH/VOOC chargers.

Here's what you wrote: "It would not be charging at 3+amp
Unless your using a dash charger your never going to be able to charge over 2amp using any other charger
Doesnt matter what the output of the charger/battery pack is the phone will never take more then 2amp unless its a dash charger"
You said with conviction that "the phone will 'NEVER' take more [than] 2 amp unless its a dash charger"
The VOOC charger is in fact 'not' a dash charger and it charges above 2 amps. So very simply, your postulation is wrong. I took notice that you quickly changed your stance but forgot how convinced you seemed to be.
All of this leads me to believe that there are other chargers even beyond the VOOc and the Dash that can/will fast charge the One plus 3

Haha
As stated VOOC and DASH are the exact same thing, VOOC was created by OPPO and the rebranded by oneplus
No amount of software is going to change a hardware limitation
I guess your going to tell me that a dev is going to release a software patch that restores the headphone jack on a iPhone
