Looking for the right car charger? LOOK NO MORE!

Ive came across this cool car charger and I wanted to share it with my fellow streakers. Ive been using this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/180-9586428-1608559?redirect=true&ref_=oss_product&a=B003JP7GN2 all in one car charger and I must say I love this thing. It's small, convenient, and charges just about everything. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do. you'll thank me for this, thats a promise.

No ones willing to give this a try? Lol

It is nice, could you post the technical information such as input & output.

comon, its not a car charger !!!! its just an adapter. a car charger would consist of some thing you plug into the car and the other end would plug into the phone. let me know when you find a REAL car charger !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is, it's a car charger, mains charger, 9v battery powered charger but I doubt it outputs more than 500ma per usb port, the listing has no details on that.

I fail to understand how that plugs into my phone to charge it, WITHOUT using the cable that my phone came with ???????????
A REAL car charger for just about any other phone does not require the use of a data cable. Like i said thats just an adapter just like the one i already have.

Dude, really? act your age bro.

The output is very important to save the battery life, did anyone get one of this, please share the output power. It should 5V == 1A, otherwise I have to forget it.

Act my age? You post a thread stating a car charger right in thr topic and its nothing more than an adapter that has nothing to do with the phone charging in a car. No way to charge the phone with it at all.
I have one of those i picked up at walmart that it more powerful, im sure.
Totally missleading topic and discussion. over and out

Take your USB cable, plug it into the adapter, take the adapter plug it into the cigarette lighter of your car and magically you have a car charger. Amazing how that works huh?

Not sure why this is being discussed again, but there are plenty of other threads about Car Chargers that work with the Streak.
This one https://www.dealextreme.com/p/car-cigarette-powered-1000ma-usb-adapter-charger-black-dc-12v-40470 is a good choice at $1.99 inc free shipping worldwide. It works with the Streak, outputs 1000mA, and is super tiny.

It doesn't - there is no third party car charger that does this.
If you don't want to use the USB Cable that came with your Streak, you'll need to buy an additional cable.

I tried something similar to that, and it didn't work. It was a Griffin charger rated at 2.1 amps for the iPad. Not sure if that one is different since it isn't as specific as the one I picked up. I returned it immediately.

Yeah they have the one for the iPad too, its rated at 2.1 amps. Its like $28.88, this one is $12.88. Im sure if it didnt work, this one wont either. Thanks for the quick reply. I really need a car charger, Bestbuy didnt have any either when I got my Streak last Saturday. I updated it to 2.2 last night and its a totally different phone. I love it!

Wireless charger

I have not seem Samsung has this product for Note 2 but see lots of 3rd party wireless chargers available on the market. Is there any difference or anything we should watch for such accessary for Note 2? Thanks!

The Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging, the international version does.

They're essentially the same, Qi standard chargers that is. Just get the Samsung one since it's $25 right now

it's about both, you need both the receiver and transmitter for wireless charging.

I investigated wireless charging for a time, but it appears nearly all wireless chargers charge at a particularly slower rate (0.5A). With such a big battery on the Note 2, this leads to pretty crazy charge times. Having said that, there are 'some' chargers which are 1A, like so:

I just bought a 3rd party receiver sticker and charging pad. The receiver sticker is placed beneath the back cover. It works with Samsung charger comes with the phone. When I place my Note 2 on the pad, there is a pop up message saying "Wireless charging - You have placed the device within range. Now charging wirelessly...". I am testing how long it will take to have a complete charge. The initial feeling is that the charging is slower as compared with wired charging with Samsung charger.

Charging time is comparable to stock charger or even faster. Been trying different scenarios (position of the phone on the charger) and so far its been working great even with a spigen case on it. I will report back with update maybe with pics as well.

Synergy Wireless Charger
Hi Bryan792 and jyan_osu,
Thanks for mentioning Synergy. I'd be more than happy to answer any additional questions anyone has in this forum. Synergy might disrupt the earth's magnetic field when using the Compass, but any receiver module with a magnet could have a similar impact on the earth's magnetic field. If you use the compass regularly, wireless charging may not be for you. Please note that we have not experienced any issues with the Note 2 pen.
For more information about Synergy, please go to Kickstarter.com and search "Synergy".
Thanks again.

ANY way to charge 2012 nexus 7 wirelessly?

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.

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.

Anker Quick Charge 3.0 (Charger Review)

*Disclaimer*.....the S7 does not support Quick Charge 3.0. It only supports 2.0 but I may be picking up the G5 or HTC 10 which does support it.
I needed a new/extra charger so I figured I'd get something that supports the latest Quick Charge technology.
The charger itself feels well made. The prongs fold in for traveling purposes and it doesn't block the outlet/outlets sitting next to it. In regards to noise this charger makes none of it. Those who have used cheap chargers know the humming/buzzing noise I'm referring to. It's extremely annoying.
Now onto the part that really matters. I haven't had the time to compare this charger to the stock Samsung charger in regards to really putting them through the paces but early results look promising for the Anker.
I started the charge process with quick charge enabled at 5% and started a timer for 30 minutes. The stock Samsung charger was able to bring the battery to 43% while the Anker charger brought the battery to 52%.
Within the next few days I will do a test from 5% to 100% both with quick charge enabled and disabled.
On a side note I also picked up a 6 foot kevlar wrapped Anker micro USB cable. It feels well made and the connections are nice. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale but I needed a new long micro USB cable.
So far I'd have to say that if you need another charger and you want Quick Charge 3.0 for another phone then go ahead and grab one. If you don't really need another charger or don't need Quick Charge 3.0 then I wouldn't waste the money on one unless you really want the slightly faster charging for the S7 Edge.

No, it will charge at the same speed as a QC 2.0 charger since there S7/S7E don't support QC 3.0

That's exactly what I asked, re qc2.0 but thanks for clarification, I wasn't sure if qc3.0 was 'backwards compatible' kind of thing

It is backwards compatible with QC 2.0. I did a test of those chargers QC 2.0/3.0, Wireless, fast wireless that you can see in my signature. The charge times are identical as you will see.

Yes, quick charge 3.0 compatible with all qc2.0 supported devices, like S7 edge.
So I search on Amazon and find that Anker, iClever, Aukey released their new quick charge 3.0 usb chargers.

Could you check the numbers with Galaxy Charging Current?
When you refer to the Samsung stock charger, do you mean the wired one or the Samsung Fast Charge wireless charger?

Wired. I have no use for wireless chargers.

Once you go wireless you don't go back. lol I hate wires. I have four wireless chargers. Three were pretty much free. With T-Mobile Jump (phone junkie) I just sell my fast charging cablez and headphones for a few bucks since I don't need anymore. So why didn't Samsung put 3.0 charging in the S7 Edge?

I guess they designed the phone before quick charge 3.0 was available? Maybe it hurt they're bottom line? I don't know but whatever the reason it was a stupid decision.
The reason I don't like wireless chargers is because the only time I ever charge my phone is either in the car or while laying in bed. In both places I like using the phone while it charges.

No, QC has it as part of the SoC, si its supported technically but Samsung chose not to use it for an unknown reason.

They disabled it in the Snap dragon version because the other phone with their own SOC wouldn't support it so to keep the 2 on parity they disabled ours.

Recommend wireless charger for S7 Edge?

I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright lights as my OH already complains about the amount of lights showing from my night-time tech plugged in. I could tape over small lights though.
I'm not bothered about fast charging as it would be overnight. Obviously reliability is important and not heating up too much. Any recommendations please? I am in the UK.

I had a look at the Spigen but I have very little room next to my bed and it would take up a lot of room. I have heard that the official Samsung is noisy while charging?

I bought a Bedside table with wireless charging at IKEA model "SELJE" it works great no noise!
It has a small led when charging is activated, but it is covered by the phone so no problem it lights...

Wow, I never knew these existed! Sadly, my bedroom furniture is all oak so this table wouldn't fit in very well.

I'm trying to decide whether to get a wireless charger for my S7 Edge. I have looked at a few options but can't seem to find one that meets my requirements. Reviews often mention a noise when charging which, as it will be right next to my bed, is a definite no-no. Also I don't want any bright lights as my OH already complains about the amount of lights showing from my night-time tech plugged in. I could tape over small lights though.
I'm not bothered about fast charging as it would be overnight. Obviously reliability is important and not heating up too much. Any recommendations please? I am in the UK.

I bought a CHOETECH some time ago. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.de/CHOETECH-Indu...eräte-schwarz-Schwarz-mit-Kabel/dp/B015K8D8WI
Placed it on my bedside table and it works perfect. Not too large and no noise at all; it does have some LED's to indicate charging (different color for slow or fast) but they are automatically dimmed when it's dark. In an almost completely dark room I really have to look very good to see if they are on

HappyLlama can you let me know what model number this one is please. I can't find it on the link you've given and would like to find it in the UK.

I like the look of the Seneo too but have found a very useful review of the ChoeTech 518 on You Tube and it seems to have everything I need so I'm going to order that. Thanks for everyone's help.

Had to look for the box It's the T518

This is the 1 I use, it's a CHOETECH and it charges extremely fast, it's noise free, it's very compact and I couldn't be happier!

I bought a Bedside table with wireless charging at IKEA model "SELJE" it works great no noise!
It has a small led when charging is activated, but it is covered by the phone so no problem it lights...

That's the same one I have. It works great but since it's on my nightstand and I use my phone as a night/alarm clock, I had to put a piece of tape over the front LED as it was too bright for a dark room.

There's some guy selling official Samsung chargers for like £5 on eBay now. I think they're probably the S6 version, which means only 1amp output.... but absolutely perfect for charging your phone at night
That's what I'm using, they look ****ing sweet too haha.

Ummm.... That statement doesn't compute. I'm 99.9% sure they're cheap knockoffs.

I just got a official Samsung wireless charger but it just says "Wireless charging has paused" all the time, so im thinking of buying another one. Im looking at this atm, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FQTMOBC/ref=noref?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics - Will it fast charge my Exynos version of S7 Edge? It seems its Quick Charge 2.0 as in only supports Snapdragon version. If not, can anyone recommend or say what I need to look at for a fast charge wireless stand? Its important its a stand.
Its input values, right? On the Samsung official one it says "Input 5.0V::::2.0A 9.0V:::::1.67A"
Thanks alot!
