Looking for the right car charger? LOOK NO MORE!

Ive came across this cool car charger and I wanted to share it with my fellow streakers. Ive been using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-9586428-1608559?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product&a=B003JP7GN2 all in one car charger and I must say I love this thing. It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.

No ones willing to give this a try? Lol

It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.

comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.

I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

Dude, really? act your age bro.

The output is very important to save the battery life, did anyone get one of this, please share the output power. It should 5V == 1A, otherwise I have to forget it.

Act my age? You post a thread stating a car charger right in thr topic and its nothing more than an adapter that has nothing to do with the phone charging in a car. No way to charge the phone with it at all.
I have one of those i picked up at walmart that it more powerful, im sure.
Totally missleading topic and discussion. over and out

Take your USB cable, plug it into the adapter, take the adapter plug it into the cigarette lighter of your car and magically you have a car charger. Amazing how that works huh?

Thats not a car charger. Thats an adapter, as you just said, that you use in conjunction with the data/usb cable. Snot

Not sure why this is being discussed again, but there are plenty of other threads about Car Chargers that work with the Streak.
This one https://www.dealextreme.com/p/car-cigarette-powered-1000ma-usb-adapter-charger-black-dc-12v-40470 is a good choice at $1.99 inc free shipping worldwide. It works with the Streak, outputs 1000mA, and is super tiny.

It doesn't - there is no third party car charger that does this.
If you don't want to use the USB Cable that came with your Streak, you'll need to buy an additional cable.

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.

Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

I know there is an issue with charging a nexus 10 by a micro-usb cable since a battery is drained out faster than charging. Thus it has a pogo charging connect and supposed to be charged by a magnetic pogo cable. However, unfortunately the cable didn't come with Nexus 10 for some reason, and there have been no place to purchase it separately though. Here it is!!! it makes nexus 10 charged 40% faster than a usb cable. It will be available for sale on Amazon and ebay soon! I will provide you a link to buy it later.

Hate to be nitpicky, but I want a dock to go with it. So get on that

If we are indeed a couple days away from online availability, giving us price and specs should be no problem i'd guess.

Can you provide us with any information regarding what the pins do? Also, in what countries will it be available?

"soon" and "later" as in, some point today? Or near future (this week/early next)?
Also, I hope the price is pretty friendly Ideally, I'd love the price to be around $3 for just the cable itself, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Provide a photo of the cable with your forum name on a piece of paper next to it and you will gain some credibility...

Don't tease us like this :crying:

Why not love for it to be free? I'd expect at least $20 given they would be the first to market.

I am guessing you would pay more than that for faster charging.
I would easily pay $10 for it.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I will buy a few as I want to make a few docks and should be easy with this cable.

Fyi, for safty sake a pogo cable itself has a circuit break chip installed even though an ac adapter could break a circuit. It is a magnetic pogo cable like an apple notebook pogo power cable. Since it is not like a mere usb cable, price couldnt be $3 or 5 something. we expect $19.99, apparently not over $20. Sorry, at this moment no comment on a pogo dock. Oh, the pogo cable will be up online probably on ebay early next week. I will provide you a link and international shipping available as well.

Waow, 20$ for a cable that should have been in the box in the first place, I think I'll pass.

@OP
>we expect $19.99, apparently not over $20.
Tsk tsk...they don't teach Sales 101 any more... Should've said that it retails in SK for $40, but because of the special respect you have for XDA members, you've managed to finagle a SPECIAL SUPER SALE PRICE of only $19.99. THAT'S MORE THAN 50% OFF!
When there is no reference price, highball, then come down.
>I will provide you a link and international shipping available as well.
$20 + $10 shipping = $30. You heard it here first.

$20 is too much. I will wait to see what google and samsung do.

I just purchased the OEM battery with charging dock from Samsung with a 50% off coupon posted on this forum. Cost just under $30 bucks and the charging cable is 2 amps for certain, I checked the current while charging my phone with it. It cannot be used to plug into a usb port on a pc.
Here's the thread with the coupon code.

The thing is, I've gone through two OEM chargers now (One came with the phone, one bought on Amazon) and both no longer charge at 2A
In fact, the one that came with the phone has deteriorated so much it only charges at 160mA.

Looks like my original cable isn't charging the way it used to. The one that came with the external charging dock works better than the one that came with the phone.

Interesting. How do I check if my OEM cable has deteriorated for sure? Mine "feels" like it is getting slower for some reason.

so is there no true 2 amp cable? I'm not going to pay the extra money for the OEM one if its just going to deteriorate

I had trouble finding cables that I knew were reliable, so, I ended up fabricating my own. When purchasing new cables, they rarely mention what gauge wire they use. Most typical usb cables use 24/22ga. Some, like the oem use thicker gauge wire for the charge lines. The cables I made, easily handle 2 amps and thensome. I used the same wire that I use for my high powered LED light system which draws up to 6 amps without breaking a sweat. I know it is overkill, but I went with military-spec 18 gauge wire, stranded, silver tinned copper with teflon jacket. I bought new connectors, usb-a and micro-usb from overseas as I could not find them locally. After soldering, I filled each connector with an epoxy resin to eliminate all vibration and make the plug all one solid unit. I rarely actually use cables for data, so, I made them strictly for charging. Using only two wires also made is easier for me to use the thicker gauge. I bridged the data ports within the micro-usb plug. I have a non-samsung usb car charger that never charges some of my other phones at full rate unless the data ports are bridged. I made an inline adapter for the purpose that I used for a while. Making my own cables gave me the perfect opportunity to bridge them internally and eliminate the adapter. Certain phones need the data ports bridged or else they will think they are hooked up to a computer and limit charging to 700 milliamps, give or take. Hope you find the cable to suit your needs.....

There have been quite a few posts with links to cables that seem to work fine for others. I would be willing to sell some cables, if there was enough of a demand for them, however, to be honest I think there are many other viable, more inexpensive options. I could never sell them for what some of these other cables are going for that are mass produced. I put a lot of thought, time and work into these. The mil-spec wire alone that I use could buy you a few sets of other cables. I purchase the connectors in bulk and the first batches have been accounted for. Also, I am backed up doing so many other different mods at the moment that cables are at the bottom of the list. I'll try to post some pics soon. If, after that you decide you'd still like one, we can go from there.....

I bough an OEM samsung note 2 charger and a couple of days ago it stopped charging like it used it. It goes much much slower.

Just a heads up
You can find these at Wagreens usually around the register areas. They aren't the best looking but they charge my Note 2 and Nexus 7, which both require a 2A charge, very quickly. I can get from a 30% back to 100% in less than an hour on these bad boys.
Ive ordered several micro USB cords on Amazon and they either don't work at all or charge my phone very slowly. Even ones that have claimed to be OEM samsung, they finally show up and they're not. So far these are the only ones I have found that truly work with 2A chargers
One side of the "Y" is micro USB and the other is mini USB

Nexus 6 Car Charger?

Anyone have a good recommendation for a car charger for the Nexus 6? I drive a lot, and need to be able to give it a quick charge.
I'm open to cheap and expensive options, I just need a good quick charger.

Well, I used the Nexus wireless charger for my N5 in my car. (Some cars support USB natively. For those that don't, any 2A Auto-to-USB -- or even better, Auto with corded microUSB -- adapter will work.) The magnets keep the N5 locked in place, so it doesn't bounce off, and there were no cables to fiddle with when placing the phone on (or taking it off) the charger. True, you had to get a bit creative if you wanted it mounted, but that usually wasn't too difficult. Personally, the N5 with charger fit perfectly in my center console, so mounting issues weren't a concern.
We'll have to see whether or not the N6 will support the magnetic mount for wireless chargers at all, and if it does, how well does it stay in place? If it works as well as the N5, then the Nexus wireless charger would be my top recommendation for a car charger.

As is posted in another thread, there are Quick Charge 2.0 certified accessories available, or will be soon.

Very interested in this. Ironically I could care less about quick charge at home... I always plug my phone in when I'm driving, and I work out of town so it's a lot. I wonder if using quick charge daily for am hour or so each way would hurt the phone... my phone already gets pretty hot driving with streaming music and navigation/waze.

Not for $30 With this battery, I can likely work all day and make it to the gym afterwards where I listen to music while working out and watch play movies/netflix while I finish up with cardio. My normal car charger will likely be fine for this.

That's actually the cheapest of the quick chargers I've found so far but yeah $30 is pushing it. I have found myself with a low charge on the OPO before where a quick charger would have been helpful. Instead I've had to use a NewTrent battery pack with it and the phone stuck in my man purse.

I use the Scosche USBC242M it's a dual port charger. Each port is 12 watts(2.4A). Its pretty fast, I believe the certified quick charge 2.0 ones are 15 watt ports.

Looks like it's a more flush fitment too, whereas the rest are much taller.

I've used some Pure-Gear cables before. They were not manufactured well at all. They were also mislabeled as to what type.
Remember everybody, if you use a 2A car charger, which now seem to be widely available, you also must use the proper cable or you won't get the full current.
This Mediabridge is my favorite charging cable:

I use a TechMatte one for all my devices. Pretty cool charger, does what it's supposed to in a timely manner.

I can vouch for the incipio car charger, acts very similarly to the turbo charger and definitely charges faster than any car charger I've personally used. Pricey, but the tradeoff is worth it

I ordered the neobits charger that was linked earlier. I like the idea of the new turbo style charger in the car. Price is deceptive because the cheapest shipping option is $14...

It works and everything but it isn't as flush mount as the design would seem to indicate. It sticks out a little which kind of annoys me. It is more minimal than any other car quick charger I have seen though so I guess it's ok.

- where to buy a charger for the Zenwatch 3 (usb ring) and the additional battery pack?
- the part-numbers of the charger and the battery pack?

I have tried for a charger everywhere!! Called the company...none available!!!! Unbelievable.

I have only been able to find the charging ring here on eBay and nowhere else. I'm still continuing to look for any compatible straps or the battery pack :/

They have them in Germany, replacement batteries and wristbands, too. I happen to go there on Monday for two weeks. How many do you need?
Here's the link :

Does "mediamarkt" ship to usa? - I see that mediamarkt has wristbands, batteries, charging
rings and mediamarkt accepts paypal but I could not find out if they ship to USA?

I don't think they do. That's why I'm going over there.

ASUS offers them on their website now...
store.asus.com/us/category/A38497?sort=uitox_price&asc=1&page=1
Now I'm glad I ordered only 2 with Mediamarkt.

If anyone could get me one if they're going to Germany. I want a rubber strap in black or even leather. The beige one I have i can see it getting grubby in the future. I'd pay obviously.

I don't believe Canadians can order from the American Asus store. To my knowledge, there is no way to order additional straps or charging cables in Canada right now. Don't know what would happen if you called Asus directly though.

You can buy the charging ring from the asus usa store for $24.99 it's in stock,
you can also have zenwatch 3 watchbands in stock there too.

BH Photo is already advertising the new battery pack as pre-order for $45.99.
They are also advertising the charging ring, round power pack and a few
watch straps which are for pre-order.

BH PHOTO VIDEO does ship to canada as well as over-seas.
Have a great day!

According to the Asus store FAQ, they do not ship outside of the USA, so Canadians can't order from there.
You're right about BH Photo though. It does ship to Canada, though after the cost of shipping, exchange, and customs, things are extremely expensive. A replacement leather strap will cost about $70 CAD.

Even if it works it's a bad deal, it does NOT come with the fast ac power supply.
The zenwatch 3 can only do fast charging if plugged into it's original power supply
Plugged into a computer's usb or any other charger besides the original one will
charge only at standard slow speed.
The reason it's only 10 euros is simply because it does not come with any ac charger
it only comes with the charging ring and usb cable.

Good luck, have a great day!

I don't use the Asus original power supply. I have another quick charger with 3 ports and this charger is verry good.
So the new ring will I use with the original power supply at my office

Hmmm..... Interesting..... mine still charges quickly (i.e. 60% in 15mins) with an old generic USB wall charger....
The original Zenwatch 3 charger is still wrapped up nicely in its little box....

Mine charges super fast even when hooked into a good old fashioned USB 2.0 port.

Received the charger and it's working perfect!

Amazon has the same chargers as above and they are prime. I bought the one from the Kissmart seller and it works great.
