Nexus 6 Car Charger?

Anyone have a good recommendation for a car charger for the Nexus 6? I drive a lot, and need to be able to give it a quick charge.
I'm open to cheap and expensive options, I just need a good quick charger.

Well, I used the Nexus wireless charger for my N5 in my car. (Some cars support USB natively. For those that don't, any 2A Auto-to-USB -- or even better, Auto with corded microUSB -- adapter will work.) The magnets keep the N5 locked in place, so it doesn't bounce off, and there were no cables to fiddle with when placing the phone on (or taking it off) the charger. True, you had to get a bit creative if you wanted it mounted, but that usually wasn't too difficult. Personally, the N5 with charger fit perfectly in my center console, so mounting issues weren't a concern.
We'll have to see whether or not the N6 will support the magnetic mount for wireless chargers at all, and if it does, how well does it stay in place? If it works as well as the N5, then the Nexus wireless charger would be my top recommendation for a car charger.

As is posted in another thread, there are Quick Charge 2.0 certified accessories available, or will be soon.
Here is the link:

More to come, and as soon people realize its a good thing more companies will make Quick Charge 2.0 compatible chargers,power banks, car chargers etc.

Very interested in this. Ironically I could care less about quick charge at home... I always plug my phone in when I'm driving, and I work out of town so it's a lot. I wonder if using quick charge daily for am hour or so each way would hurt the phone... my phone already gets pretty hot driving with streaming music and navigation/waze.

From what I hear it could mess with the battery. I only charge to full and only when I really need power I will charge it for a short time.

Not for $30 With this battery, I can likely work all day and make it to the gym afterwards where I listen to music while working out and watch play movies/netflix while I finish up with cardio. My normal car charger will likely be fine for this.

That's actually the cheapest of the quick chargers I've found so far but yeah $30 is pushing it. I have found myself with a low charge on the OPO before where a quick charger would have been helpful. Instead I've had to use a NewTrent battery pack with it and the phone stuck in my man purse.

I use the Scosche USBC242M it's a dual port charger. Each port is 12 watts(2.4A). Its pretty fast, I believe the certified quick charge 2.0 ones are 15 watt ports.

The Ventex choice may be worth keeping an eye on to see if pricing drops (currently out of stock at $19.95 + ship).

Looks like it's a more flush fitment too, whereas the rest are much taller.

I've used some Pure-Gear cables before. They were not manufactured well at all. They were also mislabeled as to what type.
Remember everybody, if you use a 2A car charger, which now seem to be widely available, you also must use the proper cable or you won't get the full current.
This Mediabridge is my favorite charging cable:

Thanks everyone!!

Just got the incipio car charger. Used the promo code for some bucks off. Hope it works well.
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/car-chargers/quick-charge-2-0-single-port-usb-charger.html
Promo code: fall14

For some reason when I tried to get the Incipio my order didn't go thru. I ended up getting the Powermod one for the same price after the Incipio coupon on Amazon.

Here is link for a qualcomm certified quick charge car charger, they have a wall charger as well, but the phone comes with that so may not be as useful:

Update - Sorry didnt notice the poster right before me posted the link from Amazon for same charger lol, this is just from the manufacturer site that has it for same price I guess.

I can vouch for the incipio car charger, acts very similarly to the turbo charger and definitely charges faster than any car charger I've personally used. Pricey, but the tradeoff is worth it

...

....

I ordered the neobits charger that was linked earlier. I like the idea of the new turbo style charger in the car. Price is deceptive because the cheapest shipping option is $14...
http://www.neobits.com/ventev_vpaq1200micvnv_qualcomm_quickcharge_2_0_vpa_p7930323.html
It works and everything but it isn't as flush mount as the design would seem to indicate. It sticks out a little which kind of annoys me. It is more minimal than any other car quick charger I have seen though so I guess it's ok.

Smaller Wall Quick Chargers

(reposting some stuff I wrote in the old joint "Quark" forum, now that we are separate from the Droid Turbo Quark forum.)

The charger above has a slimmer profile on a power strip than the Motorola "fat" pack (pictured below).

rayjr13 said:
That's interesting because from the photo you posted it looks to be just about as wide as the Moto charger across the face with the prongs. On Delta MD-88 particularly the faces hits the bevels and the blades dont go in all the way to make consistent contact.
But truthfully I forgot that I am holding out looking a QC2.0 true "travel" charger that has international tips. that isn't wide as a bus or at least the tips push the bulk away from the blades. Thankfully they have replaced nearly all those deep recessed outlets that were on B767 which I assume you took to Brazil..
So any ones with travel tips?
The other pictures on Amazon of the one you posted definitely show it look smaller profile on the prong face. So I can see it is in the right size range. now to find an international one.

Just telling you it worked for me.
On the way down I used just the charger, as is.
Coming back, I had high quality Brazilian plug adapter still connected to the charger (from using it in Brazil), so I kept that on while charging on the Delta flight back. Didn't see the need to remove the adapter, and possibly lose it.
You can buy one of those and there's your travel tips.
______
Another nice thing about the charger I found it is it automatically detects voltage and adjusts as needed. 100 volts - 240 volts. All the outlets in the charging stands at the Sao Paulo airport were 220 volts, while residential Sao Paulo uses 127 volts. Before I plugged it into the airport charging stand, I went back to the Amazon description just to make sure I wasn't about to burn up my phone or the charger...

The original Samsung Galaxy S6's is super slim and supports fast charge as well. Tested on my XT1225, and my Moto charger on my friend's S6. They both perform exactly the same.

Yes, they both use the Qualcomm standard Quick Charge 2.0. Motorola just calls it "Turbo Charging", but it's really just Quick Charge 2.0. Any certified Quick Charge 2.0 (or even 3.0) charger will work. Here's a Qualcomm PDF showing a list of 3.0 and 2.0 devices. Both Samsung Galaxy S6 series and Droid Turbo (Quark, so also Moto Maxx and Moto Turbo) are listed as being Quick Charge 2.0. I already knew that from reviews when I bought the phone, but there it is also from Qualcomm who makes the Snapdragon chipsets.
This year a lot of phones are using the newer Quick Charge 3.0. All the new Quick Charge 3.0 chargers are backwards-compatible with 2.0 and 1.0 phones:
Introducing Quick Charge 3.0: next-generation fast charging technology
https://www.qualcomm.com/news/snapd...e-30-next-generation-fast-charging-technology
So, no worries about buying a 3.0 charger in the future if happen to buy one. Our phone will still charge at 2.0 speeds, but it won't hurt it to be charged with a 3.0 charger.
In the opposite direction, OnePlus is using proprietary chargers for their OnePlus 3. It is NOT any Qualcomm Quick Charge standard, like 2.0 or 3.0. It's something they made up and you have to use their overpriced chargers with that phone. This was after last year, when their laughable so-called "flagship killer" OnePlus 2 phone didn't have Quick Charge nor NFC. This year, they at least included NFC, but they still don't have REAL Quick Charge -- they have their own "Dash Charge", but you use their own cables and adapter ($35, but now on sale for only $33!).
No thanks.

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...

You can charge 2 devices at the same time since the charger also has a USB port.
Max. power induction charging: 5W.
1 USB port.
Voltage USB port: 5Vdc.
Current USB port: Max. 2000mA.

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

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.

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.

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!

Zenwatch 3 charger (USB ring)

Does anyone know:

I don't believe Canadians can order from the American Asus store. To my knowledge, there is no way to order additional straps or charging cables in Canada right now. Don't know what would happen if you called Asus directly though.

According to the Asus store FAQ, they do not ship outside of the USA, so Canadians can't order from there.
You're right about BH Photo though. It does ship to Canada, though after the cost of shipping, exchange, and customs, things are extremely expensive. A replacement leather strap will cost about $70 CAD.

Even if it works it's a bad deal, it does NOT come with the fast ac power supply.
The zenwatch 3 can only do fast charging if plugged into it's original power supply
Plugged into a computer's usb or any other charger besides the original one will
charge only at standard slow speed.
The reason it's only 10 euros is simply because it does not come with any ac charger
it only comes with the charging ring and usb cable.

Amazon has the same chargers as above and they are prime. I bought the one from the Kissmart seller and it works great.

and you can try this one which looks to be the same

25W Charging? What happened to the 45W?

Accessories are always a wild card. Did we really just drop the 45W charging feature on the Note 20/ Ultra? Specs only listing the 25W. I have the official 45W accessory and other chargers that support the proper profiles for the PPS to work. Seems like wasted tech at this point.
Or is there something I'm missing?

Keep it for when it is reintroduced next year. If the rumors prove right we might have to purchase chargers separately anyway (or make do with old ones)

ah, yeah. I read the articles as well..
I'm currently using one of the HyperJuice 100W for my devices https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2919125?ref=activity
and this one on order https://www.kickstarter.com/project...t-100w-gan-charger/posts/2909520?ref=activity

That HyperJuice looks cool, but from the comments, it looks like people are having random issues with the charger and actually getting the charger..... I have been happy with Anker chargers anyway. I already have their newer PD car charger like 38 or 42 watts or what ever it is. I have not upgraded my wall chargers from Anker yet..... I am waiting for a 6 port USB C PD charger, but I doubt that will come out for a while because it would need to be over 100 watts.

samsung really watered down the note this year 45w charging is just one of the compromises on this device unfortunately.
not that there was a huge difference in 25 and 45 w charging times but thats not the point. The Note is supposed to be the workhorse the flagship so they should not be removing features.

I'm wondering is that a software flip they can make to enable it. I bought one for our two N10+ and when I need a lot of charge in a pinch, it delivers. I have it in the kitchen as central location. Forgot to charge it at night, getting ready in the morning, running down to 5%...set it for 15-20 minutes and we're good.
I don't know what crawled up Samsungs back side but it seems like we're being prepped for loss of features as a bonus for premium prices.
Headphone jack
FM Antenna
45watt charging
smaller storage
smaller battery
wired earphones
and soon to be charging brick.
Personally I'd like them to ditch the curved edges.

Those were so much fun at the bar. Nothing like being able to turn off tennis and put on baseball without having to ask, LOL.

Just remember. When you're dealing with happy people, they tend not to post about it. When you're dealing with upset people, they tend to scream from the rooftops in our heard the loudest. Same with posting online...
I've had mine for a while now, and no issues at all with the hyperjuice. some of the edges were little sharper than I liked, I simply sanded them down and no issues.
The only real complaint I had was, it didn't support the full Gambit of USB PD profiles. So no PPS like Samsung was touting. Now that other one by CIO does support PPS and all the other standards. That one is really exciting to me

[emoji817] 100% I've been preaching and asking for the ir port to be brought back. I stuck with my note 4 through many generations until I killed it and couldn't get parts anymore for it.

@rosedog
Has to have the proper chipset #1
And also has to have compatible battery chemistry. The thicker charging leads on the boards, thermal sensors. Etc. Could be there. Guess we will find out soon enough with teardowns.

i bought a used alcatel 7, it has IR.
i carry it when i go travel, to change hotel tv input so i can stream my video.
