List of working and non-working 2A Car Chargers

Have seen a few random threads but it would be nice to have one with the chargers that folks have tested to work. Info should include if it will do normal fast charge or just slow charge. Please quote numbered devices in thread above your post with a 1), 2), 3) ... numbering.
1) Griffin 2 amp car charger with original cable - Will only do slow charge - disappointing.
2)

Have you done the mod on the Griffin to allow AC charging?
I have a Griffin and my Galaxy Nexus saw it as USB and would charge stupid slow. If you take apart the Griffin and solder the points together, it'll read as AC charging. I did this to mine and it charges my Galaxy Nexus in a jiff. I haven't tried the N7 yet... but I'm sure it would help.
It was kind of a pain to get apart. In fact, I didn't even really put mine back together properly. I threw it in there to test and never removed it.
When I did this mod, only 1 of the 2 ports (mine has 2 USB) would work as AC. The other still reads as USB. So heads up if you get discouraged the first time.

I just ordered this Mediabridge one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007TV88F2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Will follow up on whether it works with my N7 (and, for that matter, G2) when I get it.

I'll update Friday when I have tested, but AT&T retail sells a slimline dual 2a for tablets. Works fine on my sgsiii and original galaxy tab so I'm hoping..

looks nice. but I would be surprised. looks like they made it to work with I devices and therefore needs to be hacked. But it's so random. it just may work.

I think it's the cables more than anything that determine if it's gonna work or not, at least in my experience so far. I have chargers (both travel and car) that will not work with a regular USB micro cable, including OEM, but will work with a certain retractable cable w/ interchangeable tips.
I've been using a Griffin PowerJolt Plus with integrated cable to charge my EVO for a good while. I can plug my N7 in and it goes to "Charging (AC)"
Bought a Scosche Dual 10 Watt plug and it arrived today. With two different straight cables, including OEM, it just stays on "Discharging". Using that retractable cable with interchangeable tips, it goes to "Charging (AC)".
Same with a New Trent IMP1000 and an i.Trek High Power Slim AC Wall Plug, neither go to "Charging" with the regular cables but both work with the retractable.
Amazon is showing a couple chargers specifically for the N7, I bought both and am waiting on them. Hoping they work...

I don't think the Charging A/C or USB indicator really works with the N7. You can have it go to AC Charging. but it can be really slooow, even on AC. I think you need something over 1.0a to get charging rates at least comparable to the oem charger. Although my 1.2a Nokia is adequate.

I can confirm this adapter works unmodified and my N7 recognizes it as an AC adapter. I don't recall if I bought it from Amazon or not, but they have it available.

The MediaBridge adapter does NOT work out of the box. I tried it this morning. I have not had a chance to open it up and see if it can be modified.

I wish I did cause I'd order a few more since it works with every charger I have unlike the straight cables. I searched Amazon including my previous orders and there's nothing that matches the one I have. Almost think it came with the New Trent IMP1000 when I bought it a year or more ago since I had it in the bag with it.
Here's a picture of the cable:

Those are all over eBay
I take the springy bit out of the middle of them, soak the cables (not the ends) in boiled water and
they straighten right out to make slimline, flexible, lightweight and unobtrusive charging/data cables.
Mine have a micro USB on the end.
I got three for £3.58 ($5) on the Bay inc P&P

Thing is, the retractable ones with a fixed Micro USB don't work, I have 2 of them and neither will show "Charging" except with the OEM charger. This particular one with the interchangeable tips works with the stock charger, New Trent battery pack, 2.1A dual port travel charger, and Scosche 2,1A dual port car charger. None of the other cables I have, including the OEM cable will work with any of those except the OEM charger.

No idea with my Nexus as it loses about 1% per minute when it's switched on and when plugged in the supplied PSU only maintains the power level.
Duff PSU I think.
Replacement Nexus ought to have arrived today but will be here tomorrow.

I've tried the Griffin 2.1amp powerblock (don't think you can buy them any more), this charges everything else I have but the N7 doesn't even see it as plugged in.

Car charger (Fast)

Hi all,
Can anyone point me to a known car charger which fast charges the G2? (Preferably not a $30 charger)
All but one of my previous car chargers only slow charge. I also just bought 2 from Amazon which claim to be 2 amp, but they also slow charge (just packed them up to go back).
Thanks.

It's my understanding that you can make one by shorting the data pins in a USB cable, but just remember to never, ever use that USB cable on a PC or else you'll damage the port.
I, too, am frustrated by LG's attempt to thwart fast-charge via normal USB cables. Once we have custom kernels, this will likely be resolved. I used leankernel on my GNex and had a fast-charge widget that would let me go from 0 to 100% in about 45 minutes.

This makes some sense as my previous phone was a GNex running CyanogenMod with Franco Kernel. 3/4 of my previously working "fast" chargers only slow charge my G2.
Strangely, when using LG's USB cable plugged into my laptop's USB allows fast charging.

I use a Palm car charger, it's the best one I've ever found, and they can usually be found for around $10. It will fast charge the G2, tested and confirmed.
Okay, I take it back, it doesn't stay on fast charging. After a minute, the slow charge notification pops up. But this is the fastest car charger that I've ever found, and I looked around for a while.
The G2 is capable of an even faster fast charge than what we are used to, and that's why other home chargers also show slow charge. It's not really slow, just not as fast as it could be.

How in the world??

It's a Nokia wireless charger stuck onto an igrip alumina car mount. And wired into a 12v outlet.

I bought this at Walgreen and seems to charge just as good as at home. 10 bucks the blue led is a little much at night tho..
Oh they come in any color you want. I use the cable that cane with my device that cable is thick so I'm assuming it's needed.

Output shows 1A, which is standard for car chargers. Fast charge via our LG wall charger is 1.8A -- 80% faster than 1A car chargers.

Yes, you are correct. But it seems that they are going "the extra mile" to make it more difficult...
For example, when I use my GNex USB adapter, it says "slow charge"... When I use an Apple wall charger, "slow charge". Unless I use LG's cable. I can't get fast charge to work with anything at all unless I am using LG's cable. Even then, it may or may not work with the non-LG adapter.
Can't wait for a kernel that has fast charge enabled. With the wireless storage feature of this phone, there's no reason to use MTP anymore, IMO.

So is it the cable or the 1.8a "base" that enables us to fast charge?

I'm 90% sure this has to do with the cable. Most premium USB cables are 24awg/28awg (power/data). The LG OEM cable is 20awg/28awg, and I'm guessing the phone detects the voltage drop in order to determine slow vs fast charge. FWIW, going from 20awg to 24awg yields an increase in resistance of 2.5x. I may be off base on this being the underlying cause, but I cannot think of any reason why I can fast charge on my 2.1A car charger only with the OEM cable, just like with the OEM wall charger. I'm going to hunt for a 20/28 USB cable to test this theory. In another thread, I said I was able to fast charge with regular USB cables on my car charger but I couldn't replicate it today. Phone would slow charge in all instances of USB cables, modified or not, on my 2.1A car charger.

yes, the cable is a difference.
other cables only show as slow charge with the same adapter.
now where to find these lg usb cables

What about this car charger on Amazon?

My Motorola car charger has been superb. It has consistently outperformed any and all wall chargers.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi...80004218&sr=8-1&keywords=motorola+car+charger

I bought amazon brand micro usb cables and they worked with the oem charger so they must be good enough to handle the extra load.

Is anyone else having problems with certain usb cords working? I have a 2.1A dual usb car charger, but only the stock G2 cord works for charging!

Car charger for Galaxy Note 5

Hi guys, as we all know, the galaxy note 5 support fast charge aka qualcomm quick charge 2.0 technology, once you use the qc2.0 charger, you won't get back to the regular charger. It can charge your phone from 0%-60% in 30mins. Samsung give us the qc2.0 wall charger, however, if you are looking for some car charger which also support qc2.0, here is my recommend.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-quick-charge-2.0-4-ports-rapid-car-charger
I find a review for note 5 and this car charger, check it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWwcobpbskk

Thanks for this. I always looked for 2.1 or 2.4 amp chargers. I didn't know about the other certification.

What cable do you use with it. None of the "Samsung" cables on Amazon seem to be "genuine" and mostly get bad reviews.

Here is the latest car charger I received. As with the others I have reviewed this car charger supports QC 2.0 in both ports. I used it on a 3 hour trip. The charger kept my phone topped off even while using the GPS Navigation and listening to pandora. Check it out! Its 16 dollars.
MOD Edit: Referral links removed

I have a quick charger from Techmatte. It works really well for me, quick charging, and for only $10, you can't beat it.

I have the Choetech 2.0 car charger. It works good. I didn't even know they had faster car chargers until recently. I have 3 wireless chargers so my phone is usually always charged. I don't like wires but the 2.0 car charger saved me the other day when I was on my phone a lot looking for labor deals. lol I might give the 2.0 car charger to the wife and get a Choetech wireless car charger for me.

http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-quick-charge-2.0-4-ports-rapid-car-charger
I find a review for note 5 and this car charger, check it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWwcobpbskk
Please note, only one port (blue port) support quick charge 2.0 for our note 5, the other 3 port can support up to 2.4A, which is enough for all of our electronics, including iPad.
The tronsmart chargers are certified by qualcomm, see the list here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/documents/quick-charge-device-list
and they are also qualcomm featured qc2.0 accessory brand, see the screenshot here:
and you also can find the information here:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge
so Safety and Quality is not a problem.
and besides this model, tronsmart also have other car charger from 1 port to 4 port. I want to mention the following two:
dual port car charger , which both port support quick charge 2.0, total 36W.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-cc2f-quick-charge-2.0-and-voltlq-technology-two-in-one-car-charger
if you have two device which support qc2.0, then this is the accessories you are looking for.
three port car charger, which 2 port support up to 2.4A current, and 1 port qc2.0.
http://www.tronsmart.com/products/tronsmart-cc3pc-quick-charge-2-0-rapid-car-charger
In case you don't need 4 port in your car charger, you can consider this one.
Any questions, feel free to comment here.

Is it safe to charge my note 5 with this power bank ?? And which port should I use ?? 2.4A is safe for my battery ?? Or it will be damaged ??

I use the vodool car charger, it works great for me, and the most important is with good price, I recommend it.

Nexus 5X car charger

Nexus 5X just announce yesterday, google said it support fast charge, 5V @3a, TOTAL 15W, but never mentioned if it support qualcomm quick charge 2.0 . Since the Nexus 5X use snapdragon 808, it suppose to support quick charge 2.0?
But anyway, since the nexus 5x use the type c port, the regular car charger won't work it, at least you need to prepare another type c cable or adapter. but today i will recommend a tronsmart type c car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Tronsmart-Qualcomm-Certified-Technology-USB/dp/B0146FK3G0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1443600918&sr=8-5&keywords=type+c+car+charger
With this car charger, you just need to plug and charge your nexus 5x directly, and it also offer another port which support quick charge 2.0. So if your family have the old nexus 6 or samsung s6 etc, they also can get quick charge.
Let me know your thought about this little cool car charger?

The problem with that charger is it doesn't charge at 5V/3A like the charger that comes with the phone (USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger). The Nexus 5X and 6P do not support Qualcomm Quick Charge technology, so the Tronsmart charger will charge it, but not at full speed.
We need a car charger that does 5V/3A and uses USB-C. The only one I've run across so far is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B014F2NQ36
I assume there will be many more options in the coming weeks.

I believe @Tronsmart is working on a 15W 5V/3A one now from what they said in the 6P section

Is that a reputable brand? All my aftermarket chargers have pretty much been either Anker or Aukey and I've had great success with them.

That's good to hear, I hope to see some Type-C 5V/3A chargers soon because I need/want tk change over most of my chargers from QC2.0 to the USB Type-C standard. I believe they would need to be Type-C to Type-C and not type a to Type-C in order to support the 3A at 5V which would make it even easier in the long run

Tronsmart said:
You can pay attention to our official website or androidpolice, driodlife, androidcentral, androidheadline. They are our media partners and will promote our new products with some coupons. The tronsmart type-c car charger(5V/3A) will be coming at the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

So do you have an answer as to whether or not a type-a to type-c can support the 3A? I just received my "Google USB Type-c to USB A Plug Cable" and am curious. thanks!

Tronsmart said:
Hey there, the correct terminology of the" type-a to type-c" should be " USB A to USB Type-c". So "Google USB Type-c to USB A Plug Cable" is as same as "USB A to USB Type-c Cable" Only different expression
Click to expand...

I am just writing exactly what appears on the packaging from Google...
I don't believe you answered my question...can that type of cable somehow charge at 3A? Thanks!

Tronsmart said:
Sorry for my misunderstand. Only type-c cable can charge at 3A. You can pay attention to the their ports to recognize them.

Will your updated car charger have a fixed cable kr a Type-C port? Also do you plan on making any wall chargers as well?

Saw that too during my search for a car charger and battery bank that supports 5V/3A fast charging. It doesn't but still interesting.

Has there been confirmation whether the Vinsic that everyone rushed to buy doesn't also split the 3A between its USB A and USB Type-c?

I just bought one off ebay and should be able to test this out once I get everything. We shall see.

For the 5V/3A car charger, it will come with a detached type-c cable. And we still don't have plan to design the wall chargers for the new nexus phones because the nexus phones will come with type-c wall charger

I wanted to get a 2nd one as a spare but since you aren't making one I bought the Google one ($43 later...) I would have preferred a Tronsmart one. I would have bought 2-3 if they were 15-20$

They should already know the demand is there for chargers so I hope they change their mind. @Tronsmart

USB-C Charger replacement options?

I bought a Nexus 5x from the USA, but I live in the UK. I will therefore need to replace the wall charger when it arrives.
For my old Nexus 5 I use an iPad charger. This is fast, and adaptable, since I travel a lot, I can switch the figure of 8 input on the iPad charger to whatever country I am in, and it allows me to carry only one charger and switch between Nexus and iPad charging.
I realise that the old iPad charger will be quite slow to charge my new nexus 5x. I would like a replacement that is at least as dependable as my iPad charger, but with the usb-c standard. The perfect charger would have swappable plugs, like the iPad, with a usb-c AND standard usb 2/3 ports.
Any ideas?

Nobody found an alternative to this yet? Is it at least possible to buy a standard, genuine, nexus 5x charger with a uk plug?

Can't you just use an outlet adapter?

I now have my US plug and a clumsy US->UK adapter. Not the perfect solution:

I assume that a host of USB-C plugs will come out in the next few months. I am still craving that Apple charger functionality.

I ordered Googles charger, its compact and has a long/slim cable. Recommended!
I have the eu-plug but it should be available in UK model...

I only bought and adapter
Well, I had a Moto X 2014 with quick charger and I lost it, so my replacement was the 5X. In order to keep my previous chargers I bought a micro usb -> Usb C adapter. It's works pretty well for both charging and data transfer and isn't that expensive and you can still use your previous charger.
http://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B018AM74KI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
Remember that the OEM charger has an output of 3.0A so you might use a big charger, like the one of an IPAD or S6.

From what I understand though, the old USB formats are not capable of delivering 3.0A. It has to be USB-C. Adapters will turn your charge to 2.5A maximum.
I might be wrong, but have read a few things that suggest this. With my official Google charger I can charge my Nexus 5x fully in about 30 minutes.

I believe you are right, it might not charge at 3.0 A, but it did a good job with my 2.4A Aukey charger. I didn't measure the charging time, but it's aceptable. I can run some tests if your are still interest.

I eventually went for the official Google wired charger. My multi-function figure of 8 USB-c charger dreams will have to wait.

No. This will only charge at old USB ampage (and therefore speed).

I'm curious if anyone has tried these likely fake 5V/3A chargers from ebay?

this one's pretty good (just don't charge 3 devices at once)

search for Choetech on Amazon UK

I'm in the same/similar boat as I've got a nexus 5x with the wrong country's charger-type - With the little adapter-things that just change the plug on the older micro-USB cables, is there a danger of cheap ones such as this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mi...333069?hash=item2ca48e09cd:g:LDgAAOSwFGNWSUtf damaging the charger into which it is plugged, or worse yet the actual phone? What would be the cheapest *safe* cable which would charge the nexus 5x off any standard USB A port (ie. older chargers or a computer) (even at slower speed) as I have a lot of older chargers around and like to keep them at a few places so getting one cable is the best way to do this.

I already own an Anker multi port charger, and have just bought the new one which has 1 USB C port and 4 standard USB ports with a total out put of 40W. The USB C port is rated at 3A and charges my 5x quickly. The other ports are 2.4A maximum and I have had no problems charging several devices simultaneously, Its a little smaller than a cigarette packet and has the figure 8 socket for change of power lead when travelling.
Thoroughly recommended
