Hey everyone, I just want to check something,
I left my N7 stock charger at my mates house and he's on holiday for a couple of weeks so I'm using my HTC phone charger to charge my N7, it has the same connection and I'm using my original charging cable anyway. It seems to be charging my unit fine, but I just want to check I'm not gonna roast my battery or anything
The output of the charger is 5V / 1A
Thanks.
It'll probably charge your N7 really slow as the oem charger is 2 A. I personally wouldn't use it because it'll charge slowly, which I would think could cause problems down the road.

I have used a bunch of different chargers all from either another cellphone or Bluetooth headset, they all work, they charge it slow but they all work, yes I have tried both AC and car charger, I have not tried an iCrap charger but will soon,
the battery was completely dead I plugged it in to a Motorola Bluetooth headset charger left it went to sleep in the morning 6 hours later it was only at 46% charged, took it to the car drove to work plugged in to a Nokia car charger and in 45 minutes drive charged it from 46% to 78% got to work plugged it in to a Samsung phone charger and let it finish charging, the Nexus is fine, yes they all work just a bit slow. I dont do this all the time just when I forget the charger at home or something, not sure if it harms the battery either but I imagine not.
Worst case it may overheat your charger since it isn't 2A-rated.
It depends on if the charger has internal current limiting or just heats up when overloaded.
This charger with me a long time, it really is very durable and I fell a few times or you can use, the most important is that it is not very expensive

I actually like to use my slow chargers for over night charging. Seems to hold a charge longer then a fast charge.

slow charge is better in the long term for the battery iirc.

That doesn't make sense to me....But that's fine. I rather not trust it and stick with the oem. I've read stories about chargers over heating because there wasn't enough juice coming through. All set with that.

Charger overheating and charging speed are 2 different thing. Charging it slower is better for the battery. Charger overheating is just means the charger is either **** or not designed correctly for the task...
FYI, charging it up to 80-90% of the capacity (rather than all the way to 100%) also help the battery in the long run. I wish i know how to configure when the nexus stops the charging when it reach certain %.

I know the difference between charger overheating and charging speed. Point is, imo, I'm giving my opinion that I don't think charging the N7 with something that isn't 2A is not good. Whether my opinions are right or wrong doesn'tmatter...I'm just saying I wouldn't charge the N7 or any device with anything other than the oem charger. When I bought my first android, the G1, I charged it for a good month at work with a generic charger that didn't have the same specs as the oem and my battery went to crap.

Hi!
Bought this charger ages ago, started charging my batteries nowadays, and they got broken.
I might have left them on too long, not sure. After charging them a couple of times they gave false temperature/drain data to the phone.
For example:
With fully charged battery, phone displayed random % details like 1%, or 40%, etc.
With fully chardged battery flash in winmo didn't want to turn on, coz battery was low the phone thought
some Android roms failed to boot with the broken batteries. They were fine with a new one.
Sometimes they work ok.
With 15%, plugged in the original charger for 1 sec, after disconnect battery seemed to be on 100% for a couple of minutes and started counting down pretty fast, like a couple of % a minute
I "lost" an original default battery and an original htc extended battery :-(
So here is something to avoid. Got it from China.

thanks for the advice, I was just about to buy one
Was using them in my HTC Legend for a while, didn't notice any side effects.
Haven't got one for the HD2 yet.
The problem affected 2 htc batteries, shortly after I started using the charger. Maybe it is only me who has a defective charger. Maybe I left them on the charger too long (max12hours), but that shouldn't be a problem.To tell you the truth, this isn't the first time I had problems with cheap accessories from China in the last couple of years.
The quality of these products are often appalling.
Had a similar charger for my xperia x1, had no problems though...
I think its just only you with a defective charger, i have used this kind of charger for all my 4 batteris for about 6 months now and there is nothing wrong with it. Buy a new charger The charger stops charging the battery when the led turns blue so it works fine here
and it charges fully batteri for about 1-2 hours , it takes loonger with charging via phone
i've been using this type of charger for a while
(on both a stock battery & the replacement it came with).
i haven't had any issues with it to date
That thing looks like one of those cheap ass Chinese chargers that will break anything it's connected to. I know from experience - I had an external Molex (HDD) connector that caught fire while plugged in - NEVER again. That thing probably has NO overcharge control.

yes it has
Most likely the OP got a bad one
I have been using various Chinese chargers for the past several years (with various phones). I just finished charging my spare with one of them. They do have overvoltage circuits, and they would not sell ones that don't - they want to sell more of them, and having them catch fire or explode is not good business.
But quality control can have one slip through sometimes, and of course there is little recourse when this happens - the company is in China!
EDIT: I should also point out that there are no options. I don't think there are US, Japanese, or TW made models, though I haven't made a detailed search.
EDIT EDIT: Except for the boxwave charger, which has both a desktop holder and a spare battery charger. But even then I don't know where boxwave has them made - probably China...
http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Deskt...5X42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1297185146&sr=8-3
i'm using this now and so far no problems at all. i think there's a problem with your charger.
The charger eventually died. No lights or anything.
Thanks for the advice
I've just bought one of these chargers from e bay.it was from a UK seller . And I also got 2 batteries ,
Will let you know what happens
I got two (probably just a defective batch) and for some reason they discharged my batteries rather than charging them. I just thought that was kinda odd. If anyone else has any recommendations for an alternative external charger I'm all ears as my previous HD2's usb port broke off from wear and I'd like to prevent that from happening again.
I have the same charger and i have used it for over a yeah and i still get 1 day of full battery use like always
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Those of you with working chargers, where'd you get them from?
I bought the same type: http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250796662523 (beware that these have US power socket)
The charger and one of the two batteries are working pretty well here. The other battery was discharged very fast. I think the charger stops charging before it's full. Anyway, for that price it doesn't really matter.
I've been using an identical one for over a year and haven't had any problems. Sounds like you got a defective unit.
There are disadvantages I've noticed though - they only charge to 99% (according to phone stats) and, unless I'm imagining it, the battery drains faster from 99-15% and then slowly 'til it gets down to 1% compared to a regular mains charge.
Also the USB output trickle-charges and takes forever to fully charge the battery in the phone. Only good for overnight.
I've got 3 batteries - 2 stock HTC's and one cheap Chinese one as I often find myself in situations where I'm going to need to use the phone for more than a few hours of heavy use - so a charger like this is worth it for me!
Same problems
Same charger from ebay. Killed about 5 batteries (had 5 total in rotation and didn't narrow it down to the charger until now....)
STAY AWAY!
Thanks for sharing your important things. if you did not share with me about this then i will buy this type charger. no no. :silly: i want to use USB charger.. if anyone reply me ? is it good for me ?

Wireless charging is GREAT on this device at least for me, I'm quite happy since the N4 glass back was a big issue not to mention the wakelock. I have a LG WCP300 Charger and a Nokia DT900 which everyone hated because it sucked a$$ on the N4, but I kept it because it works great for my 2013 N7; but I'm Happy to inform that it works Flawlessly on the N5 almost Better if not,than the LG WCP300, just "set it and forget it" no issues whatsoever,So yeah The Best Cheap Wireless Charger Works With the N5. Chariging time take a bit longer than with regular AC Chatger, but its barely noticeable.
This Week I'm Getting 2 Covers, a Spigen Ultra Hybrid and a Caseolog Slim Fit TPU , and will report back with any issues, although i dont think i'll get any. (fingers crossed)
Any questions or comments are welcome!
I've got 3 of the Nokia chargers. They work well. I've been trying to figure out how to rig up a stand for the N5 with a wireless charger so I can use it as a night stand clock at night too.
I've got one at work and home, it is pretty nice to set the phone down and have it charge and not have to mess with plugging it in.

Or this. Glue a charger to the back and call it a day. Not sure if the plexi would be too thick though... EDIT: Don't try this! This stand is way too small.
My N4 orb is working just fine with the N5. No slipping or anything.

going to combine this with the Nokia dt900 charger... there is a thread with pics in the n7 accessories thread...
Sent from my Nexus 7 2
Can you confirm whether or not the WCP-300 stops charging the phone when the battery is full? I have the WCP-700 wireless charger and can confirm that it does NOT stop charging the Nexus 5, which concerns me.
With the Nexus 4 the WCP-700 would charge the phone until full. Then the green blinking light on the charger would turn solid green and it would stop charging until the phone fell below 95% charge. Then it would begin charging again. I believe this is how the charger was designed to work.
However, the charger just continues to charge the Nexus 5 continuously and the blinking green charge light stays blinking constantly, even when the battery is full. So until I can get this figured out I've resorted to just plugging the phone in with the stock charger.

Don't worry about overcharging. Whether supplying power via USB or Qi, the battery charging circuit will regulate the current drawn from the supply and take only what is required. Leaving the phone plugged in will trickle charge (either constant or modulated current draw) to keep the battery topped up.
The only issue with keeping it charged is that eventually this will degrade the batteries performance. Read more here: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries
I have a Maxell Air Voltage with works great with the N5.
I've noticed that the N5 is less sensitive to it's position on the charger compared to the N4 was.

I do not recommend it, if the phone is on especially if it's on network it will constantly lose some battery % and then recharge to 100% and lose and recharge, you may not notice, but doing it for a year and it definitely shortens battery life.
Almost everyone in the world leaves their phone on charge over night, be it via mains/USB or wireless, it's not going to cause a problem.
In fact, Li-Ion batteries 'prefer' to be topped up little and often rather than large charge/discharge cycles.
I just wanted to know how long it takes to charge Note 2. Mine is on charging the entire night yet it goes to a max of 70%. Where as with hours of charging from pc usb it charges to a 100%.
Get the Galaxy Charging Current app in the play store, then check your cables. Probably bad cable. My original samsung cable was good until a couple months ago when it suddenly went from 1600 ma to 300 ma when it was charging.
Phone modify charge speed whith different cable configuration.
Your cable or connector have a problem.
It's a very simple math. Your N2 battery 3100 mAh. If you use Samsung 2A (2000 mA) charger, it will take you 3100 mAh / 2000 mA = 1.55 h to charge your phone. This is an ideal number considering phone is off (nothing else is draining your battery in parallel). Considering some efficiency factors it will be closer to 2.5 hours since you will not be able to get ideal 2A out of charger anyway. Your charger has the converter and usb cable. If you are not using original converter but rather something you got off ebay, most likely its rated a lot lower, maybe 1A or maybe even less - your charging speed will go down. Then, if you are using cheap usb cables - those might be able to handle only 500 mA of current (typical PC/laptop usb power) - slowing down even more. Plus, when you are charging your phone and you are running some cpu intense apps in the background (like GPS still on, etc.) - you could be discharging your phone at a fast rate in parallel with charging it up.
There are a lot of factors that will be contributing to slow charging speed of your phone. Typically converter and cable are the main ones.
Vectron is quite spot on. My Note 2 charges from >5% to 100% in about 2 and a half hours with the original Samsung AC adapter and USB cable if I'm not using the phone. The charge time dramatically increases if I use a low quality aftermarket cable.
I use an old 850 mA Palm charger which has a nice, thick, low resistance cable. Average time from ~10% to 100% is 3hrs.

Check your charging current with the above app, my Note 2 comes with a 2A stock charger and with the stock usb cable I get average of 1800mAh which would charge my phone from 0% to 100% in about 1~2 hours, i have a few third party charger/cable too, I used the said tool to find out their charging quality.
Also if you got a third party charger, check its label, they usually have the average currents stated there, if you got a 300~460mah charger it will take a while to fully charge your Note 2.
Check your charger or cable it should take a maximum of 2 hours and half to fully charge the phone.

u might want to install this " GalaxyChargingCurrent_v1.1"
to measure your cable and charger whether supply 2Amp that they should,.
anything show above 1400 then u are fine,
I have an issue charging my 7105 where it will only put through between 100-400mah (according to the Galaxy Current Lite playstore app) through causing 8+ hour charges and fast battery drain, which seemed to be the case with 4 Different MicroUSB cables and 2 chargers.
I ended up fixing this with a custom kernel and rom (beanstalk) using the cable reporting 400 and the original standard charger.
With the uNEAK Engine, I ticked "Ignore 100mA Margin" and "Ignore Unstable Power", jacking up the sliders to max, and I'm now juiced up with 1800mah, charging well within 2 hours.

I'm intriuged with this "Ignore unstable power" option in my kernel as well, but it has a warning saying to try at your own risk. Do you think there are any safety issues with ignoring unstable power?

Powermod Quick Charge 2.0 Certified D/C In-Vehicle Car USB Charger
Both chargers are as fast as advertised over my stock HTC A/C charger that came with the phone and my Rockfish car charger I've been using since my HTC Vivid days.
They both came in nice retail packaging and the Powermod car charger comes with a nice (but short) USB cable. The Tenergy wall charger has an LED on it and it is blue when an non QC 2.0 device is plugged in and turns green when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in. Unfortunately the car charger doesn't have this feature. It has a blue light that rings the device but only indicates that it has power. It doesn't change color when a QC 2.0 compliant device is plugged in.
I have found that both of these chargers will not charge my Asus Transformer TF201. I find this strange because I've used other USB style wall chargers with my Asus data cable (the transformer has a proprietary changing port connector) that worked just fine. Still doing research on that one but I'll not be using these to charge my tablet. I just wanted to point this out as some of these QC manufactures say they are backwards compatible with most devices. YMMV.
I've been using both for about 3 weeks and am very happy with the performance of both units.
Below is data from a series of comparison tests to show how much faster the Qualcomm QC 2.0 chargers are over stock type chargers. The data in the HTC vs. Tenergy charger is an average of 4 charges per device. The HTC vs. Tenergy temperature comparison chart is through one full charge cycle from below 20% to 100%. As you can see the QC 2.0 does charge at a higher temperature. I also took the temperature while charging on QC 2.0 with my DotView case on and at 50% the temperature on the back of the case was 91.4 F. I have taken my phone temperature after heavy gaming and the back has actually gotten hotter just playing games than at any time during the charging cycle with QC2.0. I used a IR handheld thermogun we use at work.
The Powermod and Rockfish data is from my commute to and from work that is on average 30 minutes. There are 4 charge cycles for each devise over a 30 minute period.
Conclusion:
The performance of both units is great compared to stock. Since I can already get a full day worth of battery with between 15 and 20% left after a typical day both these chargers just make life easier. If you have to go somewhere but still have 30 minutes before you leave you can "top off" your battery before leaving if you are low. Example, you realize you have less than 10% battery but have some time before you have to leave. Plug you QC 2.0 charger in and get to at least 50% in that time. I feel much better walking out the door with 50% than 10%. With the car charger you can keep your battery "topped off" between destinations. Time will tell on the longevity of the phone battery and the chargers themselves.
I hope you've found this helpful.
I recommend both of these units.:good:

OP,
Some links would be nice. I rarely ever have any issues with running out of power like you have stated. I usually charge while i'm at my desk at work all day, and when I sleep at night, and I never have had an issue with an empty battery. I'm sure some people do have trouble with that; like those who spend all day on the phone, but I'd like to see which products you are talking about, OP.
Thanks!

I have the Tenergy wall charger and I have been pleased with the results. I will probably buy the same car charger you have next.
Glad everyone seeing the data now. I put this together because of all the questions on QC 2.0 that past few months.
BTW - I do crap like this all the time at work so it really wasn't that much work other than gathering the data. The charts etc took less than an hour to create after I had all the data I wanted.
Cheers mate!
Great data indeed

Interesting! Thank you for sharing the links!
Thanks for your input M8!
Nice review,thanks!
I bought the car charger and it is not turning green when I plug my phone into it. Do I need to do something different?

The car charger doesn't indicate if it's charging at QC 2.0 specs. Only the wall charger does that. The only way you can tell that the car charger is doing it's QC 2.0 is by the battery level or using an inline USB current meter that will show the charge rate.
Sorry for the confusion, I'll update my review.
I am looking for a fast QI charger for my S7E that does not light up and one or more USB ports on it. I want this because I will place it on my nightstand in my bedroom where I want it dark (hence no lights) and I want to be able to connect a sleep monitor (hence the USB port). Can anyone make recommendations? relevant recommendations will receive heartfelt thanks.
Something like these two together should do the trick. I use this quick charge stand and love it. It does have a small LED on the front but you can just cover it with a small piece of black electrical tape if need be.

I got the Anker Powerport QI 10. It has lights but only when you put the phone on it. It lasts for 5secs and then turns off.
Thanks for the responses guys. Unfortunately, neither is quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something like this but with fast QI https://www.amazon.com/Ugreen-Wirel...&qid=1480615095&sr=1-267&keywords=fast+qi+usb

No problem but if you use what I linked, you will get 4 USB ports to plug devices into along with a fast qi charger. It's technically 2 things on the desk but it does exactly what you want.

Unfortunately, its not really want I'm looking for. I I have a small shelf next to my bed that has just enough room for my glasses, phone and sleep monitor. So I really just want one cord running from the wall up to the shelf and then the USB cable for the sleep monitor plugged into the pad.
Try this one. Bought it few days ago and it has been working well for me!
This will solve the problem with a light.
I stumbled over this today and remembered this thread;

Dammit i hate it so much that all those wireless chargers put the BRIGHTEST led indicator they can find right in front of the charger.
Wouldn't it make sense to use a low-powered charger (1A or less) to put on your night stand? In that way you don't overheat your battery - which will make it last longer - and since you probably sleep for more than an hour a day, you don't really have to worry about the duration until it is fully charged, do you?
yup
youre totally right. quick charger in the car is better idea! night stand quick charging to me always seemed kinda dumb. why am i even looking to spend $50 on one. im gonna get the regular paced qi charger.. that way it slowly charges the phone at night and ill pick up the quick charger for the truck

I have a wireless fast charger beside my bed and my phone is never hot in the morning. Also, couldn't you just turn off fast wireless charging anyway if you're worried (unnecessarily IMO) about somehow damaging your phone?

If you use fast charging, the phone is going to be fully charged long before morning, so even if it got hot while charging you wouldn't know by morning. It stops charging once it's full. Bur yes, you can turn off fast charging. But then why pay for a fast charger?
I agree with the other poster. If the point is charging over night, you don't need speed. Fast chargers DO generate more heat in the battery than slow chargers. It's basic physics.
