I've searched and never seen an actual 'buyable' product linked on the forums so if this is a dup, I apologize.
Anyone try one of these and see if you can have your Nexus in host mode and charge at the same time?
Is the only option for the female Micro USB port to bring more charge to a usb device plugged in and not to bring charge
to the Nexus itself?
Two scenarios would make this ideal for me:
1.) using my usb xbox controller to play games yet still keeping my tablet charged
2.) using a usb thumb drive to play a movie while still keeping my table charged
I think this would be pretty cool if it worked but I don't know the technical details on if it can be done with our Nexus 7's:

Looks like it's meant for providing power to the USB device you connect (e.g.. external hard drive) instead of to the Nexus7...
The eBay description says it provides charging the the micro-USB port. Only way to know is to buy it and try it out

I have a OK Galaxy Tab in the dash of my car, and use the headset port for music, didn't want to upgrade without seeing one in person.
Hopefully some sort of dock solution will make Otg and charging possible and I can upgrade. Thanks!

OTG and Charging is mutually exclusive, the OTG cable triggers the USB controller to send power out to a device, not receive power.
the pogo docks on the bottom of the device are also impossible to charge from as the nexus 7 has only been given one charging circuit, and that is the same one that OTG disables.
The only way to achieve something like this would be a physical battery hack where you splice in a charging circuit direct to the battery, without frying the phone maybe some unidirectional resistors, so that it can be simultaneously charged whilst powering the device.
I'm 99% certain of this information, and this is not to say someone might hack a kernel together one day
you might be able to install one of them batteries you can just set it on a charging pad and it will charge

Wrong. https://github.com/teamhacksung/and...mmit/4c1c965b168bc4488ef66889e1c8933bc1b3de46 for an example on Galaxy S2/Note
As to whether the adapter linked is a proper OTG ACA (they're VERY hard to find) and whether the grouper supports OTG ACA is unknown. It's something a kernel developer can probably implement.
Thanks Entropy512, I can see it working on other devices, that gives me hope... I might rig something up myself now, I've wanted to take a cheap usb keyboard plastic leather cover, and build in an extra battery, card reader and usb hub, now this might be theoretically possible

I can confirm that simply splicing a standard OTG cable into the port and plugging in a power cord will not work. I thought I'd utilize the empty socket from where the rear camera was supposed to go, and try to fit the OTG-to-microSD set-up inside of the Nexus. I bought a salvaged USB/headphone port from a damaged Nexus off of Ebay for $1 and the smallest microSD adapter I could find. With the use of a ribbon cable from an old laptop, some trimming, and some REALLY careful soldering I was able to make it work... sorta. Stickmount sees the card and everything runs great, until you plug in a power cord. Then, it disables the microSD adapter, and even though Stickmount says it's there, no files are visible. Also, the Nexus won't charge with this arrangement.
It might work with a different set up, but simply mimicking the OTG cable will not allow a Stickmounted volume and when the charger is plugged in.
(BTW - To make everything fit, I had to use a Dremel to grind away some of the mid-frame area around the rear camera space. It's a tight fit, but keep in mind that until you have a spare mid-frame, like I do, you'll obviously void your warranty.)

I wanted an adapter that plugged in to the micro USB port with OTG capability & just had a microSD slot on the other end. However, I couldn't find one, so I set out to make one. I took an micro USB to USB adapter and modified it to be OTG capable and then plugged in the smallest USB microSD adapter I could find. Now I have a nice little adapter that I can plug in without having it flopping around like a tail on the end of a cable. Just thought I'd share my project.
I used information from this page to hook up the wiring correctly:

Does anyone have the balls to try to make a y-cable and test it?
Head 1: MicroUSB for tablet.
- All cables connected with ID connected to ground for OTG.
Head 2: Female USB (power only)
- Only black and red power cables connected.
Head 3: Female USB (power and data)
- All 4 cables connected
What we hopefully should receive is the possibility to charge the tablet while having storage mounted, plus have the USB devices powered by the power cable instead of the tablet.
I don't have the Nexus 7 myself yet, else i would have tried by now (not available here yet).
I need something like this cause i wan't to replace the screen in my car with this tablet. But since i want to replace the current screen which is mounted inside the dashboard, i wan't to be able to charge while using external storage, since it won't be too easy to tage the tablet in and out all the time.
Question is just if Nexus 7 allow us to use USB as host while charging? If not, could that be kernel related?
Hope someone got the nerves to try this out

You'd need to mess with the kernel to keep it from turning on the Vbus supply and disabling charging while in host mode. Otherwise I don't see why it wouldn't work.

There are so many threads on car chargers that actually work for the Nexus 7 and yet none of them seem to have reliable answers. Maybe it works, maybe not. Does it do "AC charging"? Is the amperage high enough to keep it running while I use it? Do I have to short Data+ and Data-? Does it work with OEM or aftermarket cables? Is it expensive?
It's enough to make you just want to keep the Nexus in the house. So I'm here to help - just go buy this:

It's a 3.1A dual port car charger for $12.99 on Amazon with a full 5/5 review. I just got mine and it's well built, very sturdy (almost OEM quality) and has two USB ports, one for Apple devices "A" and one for non-Apple devices "NA". The "NA" port will charge the Nexus 7 and the "A" port will charge most other non-tablets, including the Galaxy Nexus. It works with the OEM Nexus 7 cable, a Monoprice cable and a Galaxy Nexus cable.
So that's it. Just go buy it and be happy. It will charge quickly if you leave the tablet off but will still charge it if you keep using it.
EDIT 2-11-13: This charger has been charging my Nexus 7 virtually every day (40 mins/day) for over 3 months now with no problems.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of you wanting to know some more specifics, here they are. (You don't have to care, honest! Just go buy the thing.)
I did a test with my 7 starting at 40% battery. I did a "worst case scenario" of Wi-Fi on and connected, Bluetooth on, GPS on and using Google Navigation, Spotify streaming and the screen on at 100% brightness throughout charging. I powered the adapter off a variable DC power supply that shows current draw as well as voltage. I used 12.2 VDC to simulate a car's battery. Below is the relevant portion of the battery monitor graph.

It does indeed charge using the "NA" port with no modifications. The power supply showed an average current of 0.50A @ 12 VDC which once converted to 5 VDC is 1.22A not counting for the small loss in the DC-DC converter. It did get as high as 0.62A (1.51A @ 5VDC) but seemed to level out at 0.5A for the vast majority of charge time. (FYI I assume Watt's law applies here when stepping down voltage - feel free to correct me.)
I checked on the progress every 30 mins and here are the results:
00:00 - 40%
00:30 - 48% (+8%)
01:00 - 55% (+7%)
01:30 - 62% (+7%)
02:00 - 68% (+6%)
02:30 - 76% (+8%)
03:00 - 83% (+7%)
This is where I stopped. It seems to be very capable of providing a decent charge while under heavy use. At this point I turned everything off and waited another 30 mins and found it charged another 12% while "idle". At that rate it could charge from empty in around 4 hours. It would take around 7 hours to charge completely if being used heavily, but it's not just "maintaining" a charge or discharging slowly - it's actually gaining a charge.
So there you have it.

I think the "A" port does not short the two data pins because Apple doesn't like that. Most Android phones don't seem to care either way though. My Galaxy Nexus works with it, I think a friend's SGS3 works as well. A reviewer notes the Kindle products worked as well. The thing to note is that charging non-Apple devices in the "A" port will only charge them at USB speed. Not perfect but it should do the trick.

If you are rooted and have a kernel setting to enable fast charge on USB, you should be able to use the "A" port for full power. Be sure to turn that feature off, though if you want to swap data with PC.

I tried this on computer USB and the notation in Battery Monitor Widget changed from USB plugged to AC plugged when connected to my computer. milliamps went from 479 to 875. Still will see what happens on various chargers. But to get 875mA from computer's USB port seems pretty darn good.
Thanks a lot for sharing this with us! seriously there are many car chargers than would never work due to low amp!!
Bought this same charger the other day. Arrived yesterday, so far so good! Excellent value for money :good:
Good Deal On Amazon
Thank you for pointing the way about car chargers that work. I have been impressed with this charger doing more than slowing down discharge. I can actually use the larger GPS of my N7 and charge my tethering GS3 at the same time. When purchasing this charger I was offered the 3.1a/15w AC charger for 20% off. It definitely charges like the OEM one. Very happy camper.

Another Option
Hey guys - there is another option that is very high quality -
The Scosche ReVIVE II works very well with the nexus 7 (at the same time as a phone too) with the 2.1A charging port. The only catch I found was that I had to short out the data connections - but I did this with a USB extension cable.
Essentially all you do is cut a USB extension cable, reconnect the power wires and then join the two data wires on the device end. This, for someone who has done some soldering, is a super easy job and takes 5 minutes, as well as making sure you don't ruin a perfectly good micro-USB charger.
The reason for shorting the Data is that some devices wont charge to their full potential (ie. only to 500mA) if they dont have the data wires shorted because the device might be connected to a computer - which wouldn't handle the full 1/2A.
anywho, it's a fantastic, very high quality charger and well worth the price.

Charging Cord
I use either my OEM GS3 or N7 for the NA port. I have a Rocketfish USB charging cord when I have to use the A port. I purchased it from BestBuy a while ago, initially for my BB at the time.
This sounds great.
I have a iPod Nano 6th Gen that I keep plugged in all the time, and a USB cable for my Phone. I modified my existing one so my Galaxy Nexus reads it as AC and charges fast, but my N7 doesn't even see it.
The one posted in the OP sounds like it'd be perfect. I could use the A for my iPod and the NA for both my N7 and GN. Fortunately the N7 doesn't require car charging very often
Sadly, Amazon.ca doesn't sell the charger and Amazon.com won't ship to Canada. Has anyone found a good source for this charger in Canada?

Mainly to use in the car so I can have one cable for both power and aux out.
They work OK but there is a low level interference noise when the phone is charging. If you reduce the charging current using stweaks (I am using perseus kernel) to 500mA the noise reduces quite a lot.
I have another cable on order from another supplier, I'll see if that is better shielded on the aux side to keep out noise.
Edit: just been for a drive and the sound quality is fantastic compared with bluetooth with the charger off. The noise is very noticable when a track has a low volume. Going to try some tweaks or maybe a ferrite core on the cable to see if I can improve it.
The other idea was to mhl instead and get a hdmi to av composite converter as my head unit has a 7" pop out screen so I can mirror the screen on my phone
You can make your life a lot easier by getting this for $1 from Monoprice. Its a matching white Type A male to micro-usb Type B cable, gold plated, with 28/24AWG data/power wires, and ferrite core filter. Just cut off micro-usb end along with ferrite code and splice it with your cable. I assume ferrite bead core isolates and filters power wires only considering this is 24AWG cable to handle 3.5A.
exactly what i've been looking for! do you have link to the other cable you purchased?
maybe something like this http://www.amazon.com/PAC-SNI-1-3-5...290739&sr=1-4&keywords=aux+cable+noise+filter for the ground noise?
Any updates on this? Can you test if cm10.1 based ROMs have USB audio out as well?
Ground loop isolator looks interesting, if thats what the cause is.
I tried a ferrite and it did not help, although I attached it to the micro end not the USB A end, might try moving it.
I got a HDMI to composite converter for the car which has the added bonus that I can mirror my screen on the 7" screen on the head unit listen to music, play movies, have the nav up there etc. Initial testing shows the audio quality is OK, I'll have to make some more comparisons to judge it properly
FWIW, I bought a black one and a white one. Theory was since they came from different sellers they may be different cables other than color. Well, theyre both the same. I set it up in my car and I have beautiful audio. The volume level is proper, no hisses or crackles, just great. Charging might have taken a minor hit, but it still charges with the screen on at full brightness so it's good enough! Screw bt audio. Until head units start coming with Apt-X, regular a2dp is complete garbage.

Same as the OP I believe. There is only one cable like this on ebay advertised for our phones, it only works with the Perseus kernel too...
I bought two of these cables(black) from ebay for cheap. One of them was totally defective as it wouldn't even fit the note II's port but the other one works just fine. Great audio(totally dependent on your setup) and fast charging with my 4.2 amp dual usb charger and it's got that nice tight fit that makes everyone happy. It doesnt work with the jelly bean or later kernels so you MUST install perseus kernel. It's pretty awesome having to plug in only one cable. No more crappy wireless audio for me :victory:

Theres 11 pins, 5 of them are regular USB and there is another row of 6 which are proprietry and do hdmi, audio out etc.
But the cable appears to only use the 5 normal ones...

The sgs2 which had a 5 pin port was also capable of it. The official Samsung car dock took advantage of it.

Looking for some clarification, does that mean that a stock Note II, such as a Verizon model, that's gotten its regular OTA updates to 4.1.1 won't work with this cable? Or will it not work with any USB -> audio out cable/dock/etc.?

To clarify- Samsung firmware Jelly Bean and above lost car dock mode in favor or smart dock mode. The only way to make this cable work is with a custom kernel that enables car dock mode in TouchWiz.
Or, buy a iBOLT cable that enables smart dock mode on any JB firmware. I haven't measured mine yet to find out what the resistances are to enable it. There is some more info on this type of stuff in the S3 forums if you wanted to make one.
Ground loop isolator takes care of the engine noise / charging interference / noise. Got mine at Radio Shack for $9.
sorry to revive old thread but i got the cable from amazon through a seller named EZCart out of north carolina and got it all hooked up. Sound works great and i didn't even need a ground loop isolator or a ferrite core.Only issue is that I can't get the phone audio to play through the car speakers, i have searchhed numerous forums and the closest thing i found was that turning off the speaker should send the audio to the car but that still didn't work, has anyone been able to get phone call audio to play through the usb if so how? Thanks
Edit: I'm running Perseus Kernel on Jelly Beans 18
Do you guys know if there is any way to charge our tablet wirelessly? Is Qi charger the only way? And it's not supported for the 1st gen, am I correct?
I really hate wires...
You have to mod to add a Qi wireless charging coil or a palm touchstone coil to charge wirelessly.
Or you can buy a pogo dock and use it to charge, it's close enough to wireless.

There's no such thing as wireless charging, you still need the wires (going to the desktop part of the charger) and when you use that method you don't have any choice where you put the device when it's on charge.
If you just plug a cable into the device you can plonk it down anywhere the cable will reach.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Nexus-7-hack-adds-wireless-charging-voids-warranty_id37573
The short answer is of course no. Personally, I would try to opts away from attempting any mods like this; wireless charging is still; in it's infancy and is "a generation newer" than this Nexus 7 version.
WTF!!

I can't decide if you are just trolling or if you really are clueless.
In case you're serious, learn some basic physics before you shout your mouth off.
Right now - today - the only way to 'wirelessly' charge a device is to have an induction coil in it and put it right next to another induction coil which is connected BY WIRE to the mains. So while it's handy to be able to do that you can't just set it down anywhere and expect it to charge.
If it were possible to set up charging from a telephone mast miles away you would be dead from cancer (from the radiation) or cooked long before the device was charged up.
Take your own advice.
I'm not your brother.
Dude.

Hi, simple math problem here. The cost of a nexus 7 1st gen (around USD 130.00 used on ebay), plus getting a coil from another device (USD 25.00 if you dont have it) maybe a broken palm pre or a touchpad on ebay, also a touchstone charger (maybe USD 25.00 on ebay) (you could also get a QI coil from another device, but then you will need the QI charger, and thats more money), That's USD 180.00, plus the shipping and the trouble of doing the mod and maybe breaking the damn thing. Let's say USD 200.00, the new nexus is USD 229.00 (IS IT WORTH IT).

You are wrong. You can wireless charge your phone (if it's capable of doing it) from the QI charger to the phone itself.
We know the QI charger must be connected in order to give power, but YES you can wireless charge your phone. I personally like to plug the damn thing, but is nice to just place your phone on the QI and let it charge by doing nothing else.

You've missed my point, sure there's no wire connecting the phone and the charger but you still have to put the phone physically 'on' the charger plate. I have a HP Touchpad and Touchstone and it's great to be able to just sit it down on the TS to charge but if I'm sitting on the sofa using it and it's low battery I have to stop using it and put it back on the TS charge it up, or plug a cable into it. In the real world you can call it wireless if you like but it's still got to be connected.

I did not missed your point, you were just to hard with him!!! JAJAJAJA, it's called wireless since there's no cable from the cradle to the phone, and of course it has to be connected to something, take care!!!.
Hard? no I prefer to think honest

If the case isn't too thick it probably would. My HP tablet charges on it's dock through a tpu case and even a couple of layers of leatherette case.
Hey guys,
Does anyone has a loose connection to the phone?
Lately I've been having some issues with the phone connecting to the charger and my car head unit(this one is driving me insane as I always getting kicked out of android auto) and I noticed that the cable moves quite a bit side to side.
At first glance I can't see any debris in the usb port and cables and the port on the phone looks the same as day 1...
Do you guys have any suggestions?
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using Tapatalk
USB-C ports seems prone to get filled with lint. Just power the phone off and carefully pick it out with a needle, there's probably much more than you think or can see. I've already had 2 phones with USB-C connector and it's a common occurrence, just clean it and it's good to go again.
Hey guys,
Just got another phone from warranty and the USB port seems different, can you guys post some photos of your usb ports?
I'm asking 'cause I read some reports that there was a desing flaw with the usb port.
I had one of the 1st phones btw, is there any way we can check production batch or something like that?
Thanks

Those photos are from the new phone 'cause they couldn't provide a solution in the 30 days after I give them the phone for repair.
I forgot to take some pictures before send the phone to repair...
Hi,
These are some pictures of my phone. I have sent it out for warranty based on the same issues.
I cannot seem to notice any difference between your new/replaced port and mine... ?

I have the same problem! I've already sent the device but unfortunately the problem occurs after about 2 months again. It's not as bad as it was before I sent it in but it starts so slowly again. I wrote today with Nokia Support and they will contact me via email. I'll keep you updated on what's coming out. This problem is more common in any case. Unfortunately!

Unfortunately, I have to agree. For me it is the second time now and therefore I try now to get a new phone or a compromise. But I have to wait until they write to me. After that I can try to clarify everything. I have threatened with a lawyer even if there is no agreement. Therefore I have to write with them by e-mail.
Happened to me, sent it to the centre for repair and now all is good. Hope it doesn't occur again!
This'll be a dealbreaker for me. About to buy this phone for it's looks and battery life but looks like this is issue is common on any batch.
I'm afraid it'll turn to paperweight after warranty expires. (There are no 3rd party techs who know how to repair nokia phones in my area)
I can say on my 7 plus usb type c port is loosy too, kinda, but it works without any problems.

Hi, charging port on Nokia 7 Plus is loose right out of the box.
Here is what all of you can do if if the port is not totaly broken and it won't charge.
- Charge your phone on a flat surface (table) and let the cable laying on the same surface, don't let the cable hang...it will loosen port even more.
- Buy a charging dock. There is no Nokia charging docks, but there is plenty third party charging docks for Nokia 7 Plus, price range 15-25$. The phone, port and cable are fixed when charging on the dock, so it won't be loosen more.
Send to Nokia service only if it's not charging, because after changing the port, everything is the same.
It will eventualy loosen up again, if you are not carefull when charging. I would not want someone to open my phone, because they have to remove front glass and touch screen to get to the port.
Never move your phone while charging. I never used my phone while charging due to rigid charging cable as it might damage the port. After finding this out I don't even move my phone a little while charging.
I wanna say i am in the club. 8 month phone, only charging one side. Really ****ty quality. "Build like a tank" jaaaaaa
Same for me. I can not use my phone while charging
+1 about to bring the phone back until I still have the guarantee
it seems the usb issue is a software issue not HW, because whenever i plug from USB-A to the phone USB C it charges for 2-3 seconds and then stops, i first thought it might be HW, but then i charged it using my Laptop (usb c to usb c), and it fast charges, the i used a usb c plug and it fast charges it, so the issue is it does not take current from the usb A.
please recheck and let me might be wrong and it is HW issue in ur devices.
There's no difference between an usb-a and an usb-c plug, other than it's format... You probably have a bad cable...

believe me, i tried it on 3 different cables all working on my Mate 20x, one is 7 plus original charger and cable, one is mate 20x charger and cable, third is third party high quality charger and cable, all were charging my phone rapidly, but after the 1.4GB update all stopped charging at all (it will say charging then 2 seconds later rapidly charging, then it will stop), however when i try it on USB type c charger it does charge rapidly
