Is there such a thing? I was given an iPhone dock/stereo as a present a while back but no longer use my touch, I still use the dock a lot though via AUX out to laptop/ phone/Nex7 but was wondering if anyone knows of a converter so I can make use of the dock as a place to keep my phone/ Nex 7 to charge (obviously not expecting it to work as a player, just to charge). A device that has a male micro USB one of side with a female iPhone port on the other.
Cheers.

Never seen that type. They make micro usb -> iPhone adapters, but I have never seen the reverse. Somebody out there must make something though. I'd try a google or ebay search.
Hello, if I understand correctly, it is that, but I still can not post the link, did a google search with "dockBossplus"
Yeah that's the sort of thing I'm thinking, I as hoping for more of a one unit device, ie, without an cable so it would more or less sit on the dock as an iDevice would.

I got this to replace the powerstrip that's on my kitchen counter. I would have multiple chargers plugged into it and it was a giant mess and just plain bulky when I looked at it. I tried a usb hub/charger but it doesn't charge tablets or larger phones (Note 2, Note 3) at an acceptable speed. This unit has 2 ports for tablets (2.1) one for galaxy tabs (1.3), and two ports for phones (1.0).
So far it's been solid and has really cleaned up my counter. Another thing about this device is that it's really small. If you look at the video it's smaller than my phone. I expected it to be about 5 inches or so because it can charge so many devices but the slim profile is great. I can definitely see how useful this would be for traveling.
Yup, @vectron did a review http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2436439

Thanks to inform can we use it with pc
Hello,
My LG G2 charging cable seems to not be working anymore.
I also have a bunch of random chargers/cords (some in better repair than others). Does anyone know a relatively cheap plug/cable to buy?
I'd like to just buy 5 or 6 of them to have and just have a standard one in the house, since I have 3 Nexus 7 tablets, 3 phones and various other things that charge with Micro USB.
Thanks!

It'll charge two devices at about 1.6A or so, one at around 1A, the rest around 800mA, not sure about total real-world current if you're charging a bunch of devices at once.
But for me, it's perfect. I'm usually just topping off my G2 and Nexus 7 as I go to bed, and have other cords dangling out for my kids Nook Color, wifes Nook Touch, etc etc.

That's not bad, I wish it was just all Android, instead of apple and android.
Is there a particular cable that works best for charging?

Nah don't worry about the crapple part of it, every port on it will charge at the "rated" speed with a normal USB cable on an Android device. In reality, it's about 80% rated from what I've seen, so like the 2.1 I've seen 1.7 out of, but that's not bad. I've charged my OG Note, LG G2, Nexus 7 2012 etc, all charge fine. Not as fast as their stock chargers, but the G2 charges at 1.5-1.7A so it's more than fast enough.
No special cable needed, you don't need a "charging" cable for sure. But there's a whole thread about the best cables to use for the G2. It's very picky about voltage sag, and cheap or very long cables it will drop down to a slower charge regardless of how much power the charger can provide. You might look at that thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460881) if you're having specific issues or want to pick up a specific cable.
I haven't had any cable problems myself, except for connectors being too loose or too tight (G2 connector is weird).
BTW, I've been watching the last few days, and this charger does output higher output, it's just the G2 is kind of weird.. It'll ramp up and down what current it'd drawing, or something.. Like 1800 one second, then 1000, then 1200, then 1600, etc.. I realize that the reading has whatever the device is using removed from it (2000 in, 200 used = 1800 reading) but the G2 uses like 20mA idle, so..
Anyway.. I've seen as high as 1960mA according to Android Tuner.
I just bought a Belkin from Wal-Mart for $20 and its output is 2.1 amps my phone charges fast!

This is a small album showing the current/voltage the USB OTG ports are capable of on the Nexus 5 and the 2013 Nexus 7. You could charge a Nexus 5 using a Nexus 7 faster than a standard USB port on a computer .
The 1st gen ipad ofcourse, is barely up to par.

Good to know. Never seen the Charger Doctor....I think I'll be picking up one those. Thx.

Theyre quite cheap, less than 4$ off ebay. Ofcourse, since theyre from china, it will take quite some time.
So I have 4 different cords for nexus 2 off amazon 1 with my car charger and the original.. I've noticed gradually over time I'm having trouble getting them to stay connected to the phone... Anyone have any experience with this.. Any suggests anything lol
I've found that with a lot of usb cables the little prongs that hold it in the phone lose their springiness eventually causing it to slip out.
Replaced the phone twice because of that problem. Pretty sure the ports on the 6 are built looser than other phones.
Use a QR charger. It will help wear and tear on the USB port.
