I have tried to use two non-nexus chargers, one from lg e900 and one from p1000, first one had a problem with it, i mean it wasnt able to sustain working device when using it, one from galaxy tab does fine, diffrence between them is max current, e900, does 0,35A, and galaxy tab does 5.0 juet like nexus one.

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..
Hi everyone.
Recently i lost my orginal charger that comes with GN.
And i decieded to buy a new one.it is samsung branded but for tablet and the output is 2A.
If im not wrong the orginal is 700mA.
Now when i put the phone into charge i feel a little lag and slow down while its charging.
My question is why such a thing happening.?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Original one is 5v 1A
| message swifted from Note, travelled in the air to gateway and wi-maxed to [email protected] |
The original charger output rating is 5.0V 1.0A....well have charged my note many times through LG and nokia chargers but never faced any lags or slow performance..

I am not sure with the note but I have experienced this with previous phones. using different charger of different diff rating damages the battery life

I use both, 1 and 2 A
Anyway the charging current is controlled by kernel.
If I remember right it is limited to 2A
(been a while since i looked into the driver code)
Once i had issues where when my touch response was very jumpy I mean was unable to type a single correct word.. Later on i plugged the charger directly to the wall socket and it was fine. It was a problem with the spike buster, some grounding issues and the charger was original samsung note.. Was able to replicate the same with dellstreak on the same spike buster..

So its safe to use 2A charger.
And is there any advantages to charge by higher amp?
I mean maybe faster charging time.
And the other question remains with lags and performance issue....!

Yes it charges much faster. However as stated before, it might have a negative effect on battery life.
Then again the price of a new battery won't kill us
For now my battery is still ok and I bought my Note last year...
Ok i switched the wall AC plug to another one. And no lags anymore.
I think it was that grounding thing our friend said before.
Currently im using 3250 battery gold.china made. Hope new charger wont couse any problem to this battry.

In my experience using phone while its on charging progress will not effect the process and time with 2A charger.
In any case using 2A is best.
I bought an orginal samsung tablet charger which is match with other orginal accessory that comes with phone.nice....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Following Ohm's law, assuming we have the same resistance (the battery/charging circuit), the AMPs (current) would not rise as long as the Voltage wont rise..
So as long as your charger is pumping out 5v, the charging circuit on the phone would take control of the current.. 2A on the charger simply means it can pump out 2A max when the charging circuit demands that much.. I have a 12V 30A power supply and I'm using it to light some LEDs.. They dont burn out.. They only take the current that they need...
Simply saying, even if you have a 5v Unlimited Amp charger, It wont kill your phone.. The charging circuit will take control of the current limit.. If it senses that there is an overcurrent in the system, it will cut it off.. If you have a charger that pumps out more than 5v (I'm sure that is a non standard USB charger) then thats the time you have to worry..
thats a lot explanatory

Hey all!
Today I got the Official Samsung Craddle. This one to be precise. http://www.smartphoneshop.nl/product/199368/123781/5076/samsung-desktop-dock-for-sii-siii-note.html
However, I noticed it charges ultra slow. It goes like 1% per 5 minutes. Does anyone else have experience with this thing for the Note 2?
Should I return it?
And if so, which dock would u suggest?
Grtz,
Dancol
Anyone?
I can't comment on that product specifically, but I have 2 USB chargers in my car both with a 2 amp output, one's a Samsung product for charging my Tab, the other is a Griffin, both will charge my phone even when using the Sat nav, at about the same rate the actual wall charger works at, so there has got to be something wrong with your unit.
The only way of knowing for sure before passing judgment, is to get a normal car charger with the 2 amp output the phone needs and compare the charging time against it and the dock you have.

I have the same dock and it seems to be a limitation of the dock.
I use the charger and USB cake that came with the Note 2, but it still charges slowly (with the phone screen turned off)
If I pull the cable out of the back of the dock and plug it into the phone directly, it charges sit twice as fast.
I think the dock only puts out 1 amp, even with the 2 amp charger connected to it.

Careful. HTC does something funky with the wiring in their chargers and phones such that, when using a non HTC charger, the phone will only charge at 0.5 amp, vs 1 amp with an HTC charger. Net result is that your phone will take twice as long to charge with a non HTC charger. There are several threads on this subject, and I've observed it first hand on my One. The non HTC charger shouldn't hurt your phone though, only your patience...

I usually charge overnight as well. But I travel a lot, and when I do the GPS - a battery burner - gets a lot of use. What got me started exploring this, was when I saw my HTC ONE battery going in the wrong direction (slowly) while charging in the car while using the GPS. This led me to learning more than I ever wanted to know about HTC chargers and their funky wiring ... Apparently you can get around this by shorting two wires in the USB cable, but I have no intention of trying that!

I don't think the problem is at HTC but the charger you might have. I have successfully charge @ ~800mA (1000mA = 1 Amp)with different chargers ( Asus charger, Samsung charger and a newer palm charger). My new blackberry charger can charge @ ~600mA.
If I use my older palm charger, my Nokia charger, my old blackberry or a dollar store charger, it will only charge @ ~3xxmA.
If you read the spec carefully, you will see most newer *smartphone* charger max @ 1A, and older charger max @ 500mA. (or my BB charger max @ 800mA. )
So it's OK to use non HTC charger, just be sure to read the spec and find one charger =>1A.
Hope this help.
I'm on the lookout for a car charger someone can confirm will charge the One at full 1A speeds. I don't mean one where it claims to on amazon's site, but that you've actually witnessed it. Thanks for any help!

That is correct, usb specification is 5v, with 500mA (0.5A) maximum, hence the modified cable you refer to. The simplest way if you don't wish to modify cables is to buy HTC car charger

The charger *should* only provide 2A if the device (phone) request it.
Just thought I would chime in on some observations here. Long story short, when I bought my HTC One, I left the charger in the box and continued to use my multi-port USB charger with 3x1A ports and 1x2.1A port.
When connected to the 1A port, I found it quite strange that my phone was taking 4 hours or longer to fully charge. Also observed the same thing when connected to the 2.1A port. I was thinking that something was up with my phone somehow limiting the maximum charge current.
Anyway, I read a suggestion to use SystemPanel Lite to check for USB or AC power connected and sure enough it was reporting USB power. I remember the case with my Xperia X10 where you have to short out the two middle (data) pins on the cable or in the charger so that the phone detects that it is being connected to an actual charger. I tested it with my old Xperia charger, another generic USB charger, and the HTC charger and managed to get SystemPanel Lite to report it as AC connected.
But here is the interesting part. I have a car charger rated for 1A. Initially it never worked with the Xperia X10 until I opened it up and shorted out the two data pins. It has worked ever since. However, when I connect this to my HTC One, it still reports it as USB connected.
This has got me thinking that there maybe something more than just shorting out the two data pins for the HTC One to detect that an actual charger is connected. Just some food for thought.
Don't tell me HTC pulled an Apple and we have to buy only HTC chargers to get full speed charging? Does anyone have a confirmed non-HTC car charger that reports "AC" charging in SystemPanel Lite?

As per my post, I tested a generic USB 1A charger (it's at home, but it was one that was supplied with a Netcomm MyZone) and with my stock Sony Ericsson USB 700mA charger, both of which reported as AC connected. There has to be another way that these can be detected as chargers other than a simple short of the data pins.
Tested not to work so far has been an iPhone charger, Amacrox AX025-TACH1, Philips Power Bug, and two generic USB car chargers both with the data pins open then shorted.
Non HTC charger plugged into wall reports ac power. Proof
