No Official Charger?? - Nexus 10 Accessories

Hi,
When my nexus turned up, the charger didn't work, for the last week I have been meaning to call them but have been using my galaxy nexus phone charger instead (actually its just the USB cable that is faulty not the transformer)
I have just got off the phone to Google who say I have to RMA the whole device just to get a new charger! They do not sell a charger for this device!
Is it just me or is that totally insane? I know you can buy chargers with the correct transformer etc but I should be able to purchase an OEM one

Its true, Nexus RMA's just send you a brand new, sealed device in exchange for everything that shipped with yours. I'd do it, the replacement ships first and you'll have a new tablet.

If it's just the cable that's bad, then you an buy a standard micro USB cable for super-cheap lots of places. That's all that's in the box.

Is B&N still replacing charger cables at no charge?

Yes, if within year warranty. Mine is arriving this week via ups.

Shame... mine was replaced after 3 months but is failing again a year later. Why wouldn't they just use a standard cable?

Yeah it was my only real gripe about the Nook Color. Terrible cable design. I always found myself feeling jealous of the special bent tipped cables they used at the B&N store displays. When I asked about them it turns out they're specially made for B&N for use with the Display Security System and are impossible to get Retail. Bummer.

From what I understand, a standard cable didn't provide enough power to charge the battery quickly enough. If you use a regular cable it'll charge but take a long time. There should be a good open power & data standard for connectors though.
I'm kind of irritated...I requested a replacement cable almost a year ago, and they told me they would send it out right away. I check in with them again a few months later, and they said that they were behind on orders and that it'd be shipped out when they get it. I still haven't received it...

I had the same thing happen. After a month or so I went to a local store and they checked and saw my order and just gave me one.
Can you just take it in to a store or do you need to verify how long ago you bought it?

Depends on the store. I had some say they just took the old cable in and they exchanged it. At my store they wanted the serial number so they could look it up to verify it was still under warranty.

FYI, I received one out of warranty from the web site I called in. it broke within a month. However, something happened to my nook and it now works with my standard droid cable?
I'm almost afraid to post this, but wanted to share so others could try different cables.
Good Luck
Ha. The Barnes & Noble store I just went to told me I needed to buy their charger and cable bundle for $25 because my NC would break if I ever used a standard cable.
My wife has a NC and in the past 10 months has gotten 2 new cables and chargers. They threw em in for the heck of it. Now the charging port is very sloppy and finicky how it gets plugged in and they are sending her a new NC.

Standard micro-USB cables charge more slowly

According to leapinlar's thread (and my personal experience), the Nook Color will charge through a standard micro-usb cable, but much more slowly than it will with the included cable. The standard cable is likely to charge at 1.9 Amps, while a standard micro-USB will probably supply 0.5 Amps.

Note 2 oem usb cable?

Hey guys, about a month or so ago I was at work charging my phone and my coworker tripped on my charging wire and destroyed the usb part that connects to the actual charger. So it's now just connecting the metal frame to the charger which still works but I would like to get a new cable. I want to get the exact one I had since it matches the white charger and it's the longest stock cable I've received. Any ideas where to get the stock cable? thanks.

no offence, i posted in the note 2 forum i was thinking the kind of phone would be obvious along with my signature. I see on samsung's website only the black option.
My apologies, I didnt see the title. Samsung adveritises so many accessories they dont even show thier USB. I dont see them on thier site but they are on ebay for around $5 US. #ECC1DU4BBE is the oem part #, you should be able to find them by seaching with that. Happy hunting

Is there a way I can know for sure if cable is real or fake? I've already got some cables from eBay, but they can charge max at 200mA which is useless.
I usually buy my microusb cables from monoprice and so far they've performed just as well as any OEM cable.
They also have them in white. Just search for white microusb and boom. With 2 cars and 6 devices that use microusb cables, it's just easier to buy in bulk in all different lengths.
Yeah I saw monoprice and it seems awesome, but they don't ship into my country. And even if they would, shipping prices for nearby countries are ridiculous (around 30$ of shipping for 1$ cable).
So does anyone know any good eBay seller or other shop with international shipping that sells reliable 2A cables?

Wow even my dollar store USB gets 800mAh through it. Not sure how to verify genuine Samsung cables, other than the general esthetics like the signature shape of the micro usb tip and the printing on the cable itself wich should say something like (E324705 RI AWM 21104 22AWGX2C 80°C 36V). But yes in your case unless heavily damaged, Im guessing its not oem lol.

OEM adapter + OEM cable needed

Hy! I am new to this forum. I just bought a nexus 7 about a month ago and i lost my charging adapter+cable. i've tried different aftermarket adapter with 2A, even an apple ipad adapter from my friend which has 2,4A, but the charging time is enormous-> up to 10 hours. The oem adapter+cable was charging my nexus 7 in about 3 hours. i looked everywhere on the internet to buy an orginal one but i did not find. Does anyone have an oem adapter+oem cable for sell ? I need an European adapter.

I know this doesn't help too much but I just saw one in Walmart here in the US. I would think that if there is a store that sells the N7 it might just have the AC adapter to sell.
Thanks but i need an european adapter. I could use an usa one but i think i need a transformer to convert the power.

OEM adaptor works both under 110 volts (USA) and 220 volts (EU)
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Asus shop has EU adapter and cable: 100-240V, 0.3A to 5.0V/2A,10W and cable 0.9 meters long for 99 PLN ( ~ 24 €) + shipping costs.
You must have valid credit card to make order. I don't know from which country are you, and if there is an asus shop for your country.
I need a *durable* Nexus 7 charger cable that will not break!
I bought two of the 26 awg monoprice 6' cables recommended on this forum, they def carry over 500 mAh for fast charging and were cheap direct as opposed to amazon, like $1.50 each vs $6 on amazon.
But after a couple weeks, they only charge when the cable is bent the right way near the micro USB port. Same thing with the Asus cable that came with the Nexus 7.
What gives, is it something wrong with the Nexus 7 micro USB port, and not with the cables?

Where to get OEM wall charger?

I have a AT&T G2 and I'd like a charger for my workplace that I can just leave there and keep mine at home. I don't like using non oem chargers, so if anyone knows where I can get one please let me know. I'm very surprised LG or AT&T don't have offer the OEM charger separately.
I would also like to know. Left my charger on a plane and now I can't seem to find one that doesn't give me a slow charging notification.
I read that LG will give you one for $8 shipped, but I called and they said that they were out of stock

Call the lg support & ask to be transferred to the parts & replacement department, there you can order the oem charger & cable.... The charger is 17$ & the cable 8$.
They aren't available online, you have to order them by phone.

[Q] Scosche - Revolt 2-port USB car charger - 2 12W ports

Hi everyone,
I just bought this car charger, hoping that I could get a faster charging inside my car, as it says at Amazon (and also in the pack of the product) that it works with android phones (Motorola’s ones as well).
Unfortunately, it seems it does not work with our Nexus 6.
Has anyone own the same charger and have similar troubles?
Regards.
For our phones you need a Qualcomm certified charger that charges at 2amps 18w or higher.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Thanks,
But, despite not being a certified quick charger (Qualcomm technology) any charger should work anyhow whith the phone, right? I have myself plenty of old ones that works fine with the Nexus, but this one.

I looked the product up. And it seems some people received the 10w model. And they are having issues with charging phones that require 2.0A or higher. Maybe you should look into it. They might of sent you an older model.

Read that too, but, unfortunately (or fortunately) I received the 12w model (2 12w ports)... But it doesn't work as well.

I have the charger and it works fine to charge the phone. The post that states you need a Qualcomm Quick Charge certified charger is also completely false. You only need that if you want to take advantage of the fastest charging rates possible, but other chargers certainly work just fine, and I RARELY use the charger that came with my phone to charge it.

How about a bit of clarifications... does not charge AT ALL? Or charges, but slow?
If it does not charge at all, then you need to make sure that it is actually making contact with the cig lighter plug. Does the charger have a light? If so, does the light turn on? Have you tried a different USB wire? If you've tried a different wire, and can confirm that it is getting power from your cig lighter plug, and it still doesn't charge AT ALL, then your unit is defective. End of story.
If it charges, but slow, then its working as expected.
It doesn't charge at all.
Tested again with an iPad and with a blackberry and it works normally with both. It just does not works with my Nexus 6...
BTW, my Nexus 6 works with other car charges that I have (an old Samsung one and a belkin too).
Regards.
