I cannot use my droid 3 charger because im in Europe (different socket).
The droid 3 charger says 5.1V / 850 mA
Can I use my samsung charger 5.0V / 700 mA?
Thanks
You can use any microusb charger, if the current is lower the charging process is accordingly lower.
Currently I'm using a Palm Pre charger which can supply roughly 1A and charges the extended battery in about 2h
I know that the mA can be different, but I always thought that voltage needed to be the same? It doesn't matter that it's 5.0 rather than 5.1?

It's usb, the voltage is 5V in any device .1 V means basically nothing

Actually that .1 is the basis of all "rapid" chargers. It definitely makes a big difference. My I pad won't charge at all on 5, but it will accept any 5.1, including my d3 charger.

0.1 is pretty negligible, that shouldn't matter to charging. The car charger I use is Motorola branded and specifies an output range of 4.75 to 5.25 volts due to the noisier electrical environment in a car. I've never had any issues with it.

Chargers that don't charge, are usually non standard ones (read the data + and data - pins aren't connected toghether.
In that condition some device charges, some slowly charges, some don't charges at all.
Depending in how strictly they follow the standard.
I'm curious to know why manufactures always tell you in the manual NOT to charge the device using another charger than the supplied one, but what's the point of having a microsub standard then? i'm hoping they mean cheap chargers, but i think our phones would be fine using chargers from big companies like htc, nokia, blackberry, i think my galaxy s ii would be fine using my motorola charger

Most of the time, I used the supplied charger (this is when I charge while sleeping, for example.) However, I have charged with other microUSB cables (i.e., my Kindle cable, a previously-owned Verizon car charger, and just a microUSB cable I found sitting in my collection of cables) and they have always charged fine for me.
I can't use any of my HTC chargers (Desire Z, Legend) or my car chargers. I also cannot use a USB cable extension, and the phone requires a USB driver to charge.
5 vs 5.1 is almost nothing the important thing is how much current mA you can supply 700 800 1000 2000
The ipad doesnt charge well with 1000mA or below but is happy with 2000mA
And an ipad charger charges my droid in less than an hour

Yes.. but is there a limit to mA or could I connect a 4000mA charger (theoretically) and charge it in 20min?

Assuming a constant voltage (our case) the charging current depends on the load .
So, if the charge can supply a limited amount of current (eg. 500mA) the load can't draw more than that, but if the current available is more than the one required by the load (eg. 5000 A), doesen't matter, the load itself cant draw more than the nominal one.
Maybe that limit is not 1A but 1.1 or so, but definitely not more than that.

Ye so the phone is pulling energy rather than the charger pushing it..?
If the limit would be 1.1 how would you explain the ipad charger charging in less than an hour?

Look the matter this way:
The charger pushes the current with a force (the voltage), and the phone allows the current to flow.
Look the matter as hydraulics: if you have a tap with a 5mm hole, and the water is at a definite pressure, there is no variation in the water flow changing the size of the pipe (assuming the pipe is decently sized).
What matters is the input pressure and the tap's hole.

I've never opened the american D3 charger so I've no clue on it's real performances.
BTW, in the real world, the Milesone 1 charger charges (roughly) at 900mA, the X2 one at 850mA, the Desire Z one at 1A.
Often the real performances of the chargers has little to do with the one written on the sticker...
I can charge my D3 with my LG micro usb cable, but I can't connect to my PC or macbook with it :-/
I use HTC 5V/1A,it is perfect
So I was gearing up to charge my N7 for the first time so I decide to leave it plugged in over night.
I wake up and I find that the screen is on and "Charging 41%" is flashing on the screen.
Anyone experience this yet?

Are you able to turn it on and run the device?
Play with it a while and see if things improve or get worse.
Were you using the OEM charger AND cable? The $1 chinese cable I used with the OEM charger had mine charging to 100% in 16 hours +
Make sure you are using the OEM Charger & Cable.
Also make sure you use the mains and not a USB port, I tried using a USB port on my mains and charging was like 1% per 30 mins, plugged it directly via the AC adapter in and started going up 1% per min.
I am using the charger that came with my Nexus One at the moment. It seems to work fine with all my other phones, does the N7 need more power or something?

It's not irrelevant. It means the 2A charger can source up to 2 amps if needed (which obviously it does need).
A tablet has a lot bigger battery and draws more current then a phone, which is why it has a bigger charger. If the charger can't source enough current to overcome the rate that the device uses power, then it won't charge or will take forever.

BUT.. 1 amp is more than enough to charge an N7. My old 700ma rated Blackberry charger can charge it from 0-100% in under 8 hours.

The stock 2A charger does it in about 3 hours and change from full drain power down to full charge.
Both of you are right, not the irrelevant part mind you but the part that it is enough and it may not be.
It all depends on what the tablet is doing at charging time. If it is off and the leakage current is low (as it should be) then most any 5v transformer will do. It will just take longer to charge.
HOWEVER if the transformer is not able to feed the N7 with more current than it needs to operate, on or off, sorry it won't work, no charging for you.
Now shake hands and go play outside.

No problem. I didn't mean to get snippy either, but I'm having a sh*tty day. ..To get back on topic, being an amateur radio operator, I have to have a little knowledge on electronic theory. My original response wasn't really to debate whether 1A is actually enough to charge an N7. My post to the OP was pointing out that he is in fact using a charger rated at half the amps of the rated charged of the N7, for whatever the reason it isn't working, and it also seems instead of trying the correct charger, he came directly in here.

The transformer is a source. It doesn't feed or force, it gives what is demanded by what it connected to it, as long as it's not over what it can handle (2A max rating) - in which case the coils of the transformer will get hot, possibly melting off the clear enamel insulation of the coils until you get a short and sparks flying out of your outlet, and pop a surge protector (hopefully)
edit: well unless it has some over_current protection built into it, or a fuse, in which case it would just die and not charge anymore :laugh:
edit2: But as just lou said, try the correct charger.
Another problem from using too low of a current transformer is you could put too much stress on it, and then it's voltage regulation circuits don't keep a nice clean steady voltage, and instead you could get spikes or noise, and that could lock up your device too. Of course this is just all possibilities, but to rule out variables it's just easier to use the correct charger
If the Nexus tablet requires 2 amps, then it will pull upto 2 amps. If it's doing this from a 1 amp supply, then the 1 amp power supply will overheat and possibly break. Amps can be larger than needed, but make sure voltage is correct.
My phone charger broke and now it connects to the phone with a lot of difficulty, so I can hardly charge the phone. Do you happen to have any link to original charger where I can buy?
Here-

samsung provides 850mA current while our charger has 1A.
as our battery is 1200mAh we can give max 1.2A current to it (considering 1C discharge)
so i recommend to use any USB charger with 5V and 1A rating. apple chargers also use the same.
also buy a good company charger. dont use any china charger as they lack in overvoltage protection and all (i am not offending any chinese people in xda ).
and our PC USB port provides 5V 500mA, so we can use it also but it will take time to charge phone.
press thanks if helped.

every phone has built in charging IC and it provides high current with fast charging and when battery is about to charge full it reduces current and charges device normally so that there will not be any overcharging.
and our battery is LiPo not LiIon so we have advantages over more current draw and fast charging. also we can charge battery at ny time, it is not needed to charge it when battery is about to die to extend its life like in other batteries.
so you do not need to worry.
and my W8 original greenheart charger rating is 5V 1A

Quite wrong there.The only thing that will happen is that the phone will take longer to charge if the mAmperes are less than the original chargers.If they are more it wont have any problem or it may even charge faster depending on the internal charge controller.
Just so you keep it in mind, the mAmps a charger states, is the MAXIMUM it can provide, not the mAmps it FORCES into the device.Every device drains as much power as it is configured to drain when it was built.
Its the OUTPUT voltage you must be careful at, though every charger the last 8 years outputs 5-7 volts which is fine. :laugh:
@above
True.. The phone will only draw the power it requires even if the charger has a higher rating..

Nonsense is not a very polite word, i d prefer inaccurate.
In this case both statements are wrong.There is no manufacturer constrain when using smartphones and chargers, as long as they both have the same plug (aka micro usb).
The chargers are not actually chargers, they are power supplies.As stated above each phone only takes the amount of power its charge controller IC dictates it to.So there is no better life with samsung charger nor SE for SE phones and not combining with other devices.
Use whatever charger you can find (as long as it is of some brand) and it will do the trick.If it says many mAs(like 1000 or more) good for, you, faster charge if the phone allows it, if it says less mAs you ll just have to wait more, but the battery wont get damaged, whatever charger you use!

Why dont you grab a 70Ah charger and try and tell us your results then? :good:
In the meantime read carefully what i posted. i stated :' if the phone allows it". Meaning you can put a 2Ah charger but unless the phones charge controller allows it you cant charge in that rate.Ofc you shouldnt charge Lithium batteries with more than 1C in the first place but thats another story.
Finally i ve converted old cellphone chargers i had in a shelf to have USB output and they all work great, though they charge slower since they are 500mAh rated.

2amps isn't going to shorten the life below 2 years. Higher amps only shorten life if they are above battery tolerances, which 2 amps is not.
Anyway, you'll want a 1 or 1.2 amp charger for slow charging

Google have first sent me a new charger which still hasn't arrived. Though I think the issue is the phone. But I wanted to avoid a refurb as long as possible. Can't live without turbo charge now.

It most definitely doesnt turbo charge, it takes atleast 2 hours, so id say its a "normal" charge for this phone and i think its better than the turbo charger, because it doesnt get hot and its still decently fast

The turbo output is only supplied on turbo enabled devices. So there is something wrong with switching to turbo modes 9 V and/or 12 V

There are some apps in the play store claiming to boost the battery charge.
When wireless charging is also slow, than it could be indeed the battery.
Maybe a complete discharging ?
BTW
Turbo mode is only active when the battery is less than 75% charged.

You should use a 5 Volt 2 Amp charger, those chargers are the one's that most phones use. Most new phones are using Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0, which you should use but if you are not comftorable then the 5 Volt 2 Amp will work good.
Errr, QuickCharge will in fact degrade a battery faster, it's still used because most phones only have a 2 year lifespan.
A non QuickCharger will also make it run less hot while charging and also be less likely to cause cell expansion. Not sure why there's so many people denying this.

Please don't tell him that it won't degrade his battery when it definitely will. It's basic chemistry.
To OP:
Any regular non Quick USB charger of reputable make will do fine. I use an older HTC charger. Don't get a super cheap offbrand one as it probably has fluctuating voltage which will also damage your battery.

Actually you've misread (or not read fully). No one disputes the science. That article isn't accurate. All it says is "too quickly" and if you read what I have said, is that the turbo charger is within acceptable tolerances. I.E. It is not "too quickly"

I think you're not understanding the basic chemistry. More heat = more degradation of the Li-ion battery, regardless of tolerances. A lower power charge will always degrade the battery slower. This isn't about tolerances.
One of the big concerns I had with the proprietary Dash Charging system is whether I'd be able to use previously purchased power banks.
I've been testing my OP3 with the RAVPower 26800mAh powerbank along with the Anker USB-C to USB 2.0 cable.
The powerbank is capable of outputting 2.4a, which produces a quick charge on other devices.
On the OP3, I get between 30 and 57% charge / h (measured using the Battery Monitor Widget app), which is acceptable to me.
It's not Dash Charging speed, but it'll work in case you were wondering.
MI Charger
I have a MI 16,000 mAh portable charger with an output of 3.6A. I am getting a pretty awesome speed on 1 min per percent charge. After charge battery drain is lower compared dash charger.
quote from Android central
"For the first time, OnePlus is including a fast charging system on the OnePlus 3. Rather than go with another standard like Qualcomm's Quick Charge, OnePlus made its own "Dash Charge" system. Dash Charge promises a 60% charge on your OnePlus 3 in just 30 minutes, which is just as fast as any other system — the only catch here is you'll have to use the Dash Charger in the box and the included cable.
Your OnePlus 3 will charge just fine off of other chargers — whether they're Quick Charge 3.0, Nexus Rapid Charge or something else — but you just won't get Dash Charge speeds."
I have the oneplus power bank, I'll see how it charges using the cable that came with the phone.

Seemed like a good choice as outputting 3.6A would be good enough for me. Would you be able to point me a link where to purchase it from? Many thanks.
are you sure the 3.6a isnt a maximum of all the ports on the bank?
usually if they have multiple ports they say a maximum load for all being X, but I've only ever seen a maximum amperage of 2.4a on a port (few and far between) most 2.1a as stated per port.
even then they charge my OP3 at 1.2a using oneplus's cable, same as my s5 beforehand.
there is a great app on the store called Ampere which tells you your current charging/discharging amps

and ?? whats the verdict ?
It's never going to charge faster then 2amp on any ordinary charger or battery pack
If you want fast charging u need to use a dash charger

Check my post on another thread,
You can use OPPO VOOC Powerbank,
It charge as fast as at least 3.5A
It would not be charging at 3+amp
Unless your using a dash charger your never going to be able to charge over 2amp using any other charger
Doesnt matter what the output of the charger/battery pack is the phone will never take more then 2amp unless its a dash charger

No offense but this is a flawed theory, did you forget what site you're on? That's what development is for, to boldy go where no one has gone before, so contrary to your belief, I'm sure its possible, can and will happen.
OP3 is only able to charge at 1.5A max with everything except the dash charger and cable, from my tests.

No it is not a flawed theory. The phone does not have the quick charging components in the phone but instead in the charger and cable. Only VOOC and DASH chargers will quick charge this phone. It's not theory it's fact. Anyways fast charging does deteriorate the battery a bit faster than normal charging so it's not good to use it all the time

Here's what you wrote: "It would not be charging at 3+amp

You said with conviction that "the phone will 'NEVER' take more [than] 2 amp unless its a dash charger"
The VOOC charger is in fact 'not' a dash charger and it charges above 2 amps. So very simply, your postulation is wrong. I took notice that you quickly changed your stance but forgot how convinced you seemed to be.
All of this leads me to believe that there are other chargers even beyond the VOOc and the Dash that can/will fast charge the One plus 3
What's the easiest way to test what amperage a non-Dash charger is charging at? I'm curious to know if some of my Quick Charge adapters will provide 2.4A. I've only done a very brief test with my QC3 car charger, but it gave me 3% in about 4 minutes. That's about what I was getting on a QC2.0 phone, and that's perfectly acceptable in my books.

Huh? that's my first comment lol and VOOC and DASH are exactly the same technology and have their specific patent. As far as I know, it will only charge with those specific chargers since it is not only the charging brick holding some proprietary charging solution but also the cable. I have a USB-C cable that can withstand over 4A but will not work even when plugged to the DASH charger. Now yes there may be a charger that quick charges this phone but it'd be very unlikely that it does exist since the cable and brick would have to have the exact specifications as the DASH/VOOC chargers.

Haha
As stated VOOC and DASH are the exact same thing, VOOC was created by OPPO and the rebranded by oneplus
No amount of software is going to change a hardware limitation
I guess your going to tell me that a dev is going to release a software patch that restores the headphone jack on a iPhone
