HEY ALL
Just found this on eBay and thought I would share it with all of you. The seller has a few more left and at 50 bucks with free shipping it is an awesome deal.
Pooh can't post links yet but here is the item number 110815036565, enjoy!
Just noticed that the seller is down to 1 left. I cannot wait to get mine and see how it works out.
what is that
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
i got mine from the verizon store with employer discount for a bit more than 50, but at that price its definitely a good deal assuming you get your HDMI cable cheap. i ended up getting the bionic lapdock as well due to necessity but USB host without having to rig up your own solution is nice..
however.. i've never been able to get the IR remote to function. i've read it only works in certain apps maybe? anyone have any thoughts on that, maybe even using it through the car dock somehow?
I got it last week and have messed with some and love it. The remote works great for me now, I forgot to remove plastic off of battery... LOL It didn't come with the hdmi cable but I had one already. The webtop is ok, can be a bit slow at times but if you are in a jam and need a "PC" it does just do it.
I love streaming Netflix with my phone docked since it's charger is able to keep the phone charged while using LTE. My stock charger doesn't keep up and my phone slowly discharges especially if I have hdmi hooked up. Oh, forgot I also have the OEM extended battery installed too.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is hooking up my external hard drive up to one of the USB ports and see if I can play my movies on it.
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if it was safe for my phone to be charged using this Adapter. It is the HP Touchpad Charger. I would like to keep a charger at home, and take one with me so i dont have to keep pulling it out of my bag.
Thanks in Advance!

If that is not a fake HP charger, it's the best available. You'll be fine. Been trying to buy one myself, but it looks like everyone is charging way too much for them now that they are rare.
Here's a write up on both chargers:
http://www.arcfn.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-apple-is.html
Yes, Ive used my touchpad chargers on my Note 2 many times, charges it really fast. Ive read in another thread the HP charger is one of the top rated ones out of all the ones tested.
I wish i wouldve bought more when they were on sale for $4.99.

Thanks for the Reply! Thats sounds great!! Now I can charge my note 2 without worries.
I actually happened to purchase the touchstone along with the touchpad. Only if there was a mod for the note 2 for wireless charging with it. But the touchpad has the ability built-in, so its not likely.
"For those who are interested in car dual usb efficient charging"
I am using 4.2 amp dual usb car charger bought on eBay. Importantly, I can charge two Note 2's simultaneously where one is mostly on 100% brightness running Google navigation and slacker radio over bluetooth on at&t LTE network and other one charging while being used for light browsing, emails, calls etc. Dual charging is quick and comparable to stock AC charger.

Hope you sell lots of them.
I am not a seller, I am a technology enthusiast who regularly follows forum and few months ago when we both upgraded from S2 skyrocket and iphone 4S to Note 2, car charger issue started bothering me. I searched extensively for dual usb car charger with 2.1A + 2.1A output and narrowed down to two choices, one is sold by Kensington for ~$28 and other is the one I posted on eBay for ~$14. I ended up buying 2 from eBay so that I can have my both cars covered for cheap, whenever we are driving together. I wanted to contribute to forum by sharing this information long ago as I see everyday folks wondering about a good usb car charger, but I was just reluctant to register.
Please feel free to delete my post if moderators feels that it is more of advertisement towards purpose of commercial gain which isn't true.

I've had mine for over a year with zero problems. But it does sound like there are QC problems, perhaps I just got lucky. I just ordered the Aleratec, it should get here today. I'm curious how it performs.

Yes. Could you please report back on your findings?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Had a chance to test out the Aleratec. First off, it doesn't strike me as overly well made. It's not bad, just seems thrown together. There are some gaps where the plastic fits together, and it's pretty bulky. The rectangular part looks to be about 1 inch square by 2 inches long. There's a red LED that shows when the unit is getting power, but it's just stuck inside the housing so that it's hard to see in bright daylight and the whole thing glows lopsidedly at night. On the other hand, it does seem to perform roughly as advertised. I haven't tested it with a multimeter, but here's what we did.
On a 10 minute drive across town, I had my N2 plugged in with Navigation and music on. My son had his Droid DNA plugged in playing a graphics intensive game. Both phones charged a few percent in that time.
On a 30 minute drive to the next town, I had the N2 running Navigation and music playing through the internal speaker. My Nexus 10 was charging from the other port. The Note started at 86% and finished at 91. On the return trip I left my note plugged in but left music and navigation off. It started at 80% and ended at 95%. There was another N2 plugged into the second socket, but I didn't check it's stats.
So all in all it does a decent job charging two devices while they are being used heavily. I think you'd have a hard time losing charge while it was plugged in. But it looks cheap and I'm not expecting it to last a real long time (though it might, who knows.) Still, I'll probably buy another one or two for those long drives when my son's Nexus 7 is chewing through games and battery, I have latitude and music running on the phone, and there are at least a couple other devices in the car needing to stay topped off. For the price, I won't be overly disappointed if I have to replace them in a few months. Hopefully we'll have better quality options by then.
Thanks for the update. My main concern is JUST my GN2 while using GPS, streaming music from Pandora while connected via BT to my head unit. That's probably the Most electrical draw I can come up with. If it charges during all that, I'm sold.

Well, supposedly, the two outputs are largely independent. So I'd compare the performance of just my GN2 on it. On the half hour drive I was using Spotify playing through the internal speaker. But I was playing a downloaded list, not streaming data. I did have wifi enabled (I just leave it on) but not bluetooth. Navigation was on with voice directions.
We're headed on a 800 mile trip tomorrow and I can have my son play games on it while it has nav and bluetooth on, see if he can figure a way to use more power than this can output, but I won't be able to get back to you on that til at least Monday. He can also stress it with his N7 and my N10 running simultaneous games. We'll see.

I'm not fond of the reviews on that one. Also, only one of the ports is 2A+. It sounds like the other two are a bit over 1A at best. For my purposes the extra slot isn't worth the added bulk if I only get one 2A slot. But everyone's needs differ.

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d
After using the Aleratec for over a week, I'd say it's a keeper. It's kept up with my son's N7, and with my using the GN2 as gps and mobile hotspot at the same time with sporadic phone calls at the same time. It also charged my N10 nicely. I did have one time when my Blackberry curve (work phone, ick) reported that it couldn't charge, but disconnecting it and reconnecting fixed that.
Again, this doesn't strike me as a particularly high quality or well-engineered piece of equipment, but it does seem to do what it claims. For the price, I'll be ordering a couple more.

Hi guys,
So I am almost 100% certain that I'm going to be getting the Note 5, which as we all know comes with a 3,000 mAh battery (which cannot be removed), I'm thinking that I'm going to need to keep a power bank on me when I'm traveling. The power bank that I had for my Note 4 (which worked quite well) was from TechMatte. I got it on amazon about a year ago, and it's still going strong.
Do you guys think that it will still work well for the Note 5? I think that it will still work fine, but I'm wondering which one you guys use-- perhaps I might upgrade if a good priced one is mentioned?
Thanks!!
I use a limefuel Been using it for several months now. It works great. They did have a problem with bad batch where the USB ports would either come lose or no longer work, but since there was a 1 year warranty I got a free replacement

I have the Cheotech one. Its one of the few Quick Charging Batteries that actually registers as a fast charger. I have tested many of the ones available on Amazon. You wont see them on my channel since they dont pass the Fast Charger test. See my video on the Choetech one.

No doubt limefuel works great.:good::good:

External Battery Power Bank is the right solution as the Note 5 has non-removable 3000mAh battery that is even less than its predecessor.!

Anyone could do a comparison review of the two? Is Aukey battery a new released one? I had the CHOETECH one. It's a pretty high quality PowerBank good for both Samsung and Apple users, because its fast charging port is compatible with iOS devices (at fast rate 2.1Amps max).

I have seen the comparison on one of third party website between these two power banks. It seems like un-biased but I am not much sure about it: http://www.lonpower.com/aukeys-powe...neration-quick-charge-2-0-based-power-bank-2/
I do to.
I just received my Aukey 10000mah model# pb-t4. And fast charging works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011U0AY22/ref=ya_aw_oh_pii?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i read somewhere that Quick Charging does wear the battery quicker. ever since i read that, i've avoided Quick Charging my S6e unless i really needed the juice quickly. i just don't want to own a brick sooner than later if true, especially since we cant replace the battery. on my S6e, it fully charges in 1hr 12min with the Adaptive charger while with a regular 2.4A charger, it fully charges in 1hr 20min. i haven't checked my Note 5 Duos yet. but i always have 2 power banks with me in my camera bag anyway whenever i'm carrying it which is almost always.
i've got several branded power banks including those from Anker and Aukey, but the only one that has held up the longest and still performs really well is my Mophie. it just doesn't have as large a capacity as my other power banks.

Has anyone found an external battery that can be CHARGED with the quick charge tech. I know there are ones that will charge a phone real fast, but I want to charge the battery real fast.
I have been using Samsung Galaxy S6 for two and half years, and I am about to switching to 5T.
I wonder anybody has a recommendation for wireless charging receiver -- the thin tap that sticks to the back of your phone. I tried some of them, including the name brand Nillkin, on my other phone (Le Pro 3) and found out that the battery will start to drain after being charged to full. Hence I wonder if oneplus has such problems or not.
Thanks.

that wasnt his q. i dont know that anyone has had a chance to try one to make a recommendation. i suppose any usb c receiver that is qi compatible will work. maybe you can find one that supports quick charge.
I don't know if anybody tried the nillkin wireless charging case for oneplus5. I hope they can make one for 5t as well. I can't leave wireless charging now.
I have Oneplus 5 magic case with car magnetic charger and it work perfectly. I wrote e-mail to [email protected] and got feedback - similar case for 5t would be available soon.
Just want to have an update. Returned the Nillkin receiver, got another one, Tankship. Surprisingly this less popular one works. Used for over 24 hours, and was able to charge my phone to 100%. Of course, charging is slow, which is expected. But I sit in office all day except have meetings. It allows me to keep my phone charged w/o wearing out my usb port.
Will test it for couple more days ...

FWIW, I checked the amazon reviews on fakespot and it gave it a poor grade, couple of reviewers are suspect with giving too many positive reviews. I'm hesitant on pulling the trigger on getting one now.
I am bothered too with those fake reviews so I always go to the one with more reviews first, which is Nillkin. Unfortunately the one I tried first did not work at all.
Good thing is you can return it for free. Amazon Prime, I love it!

Wanted to check if anybody has had good experience with any of the qi-cases for 5T (or if not cases, at least qi receivers).
Hopefully something came up in the last year or so since the last post.
Yes, I did spend quite a few hours google-ing this but was not available to find anything.
When no qi-cases for 5T are available on the market - can anybody recommend a qi-receiver with usb-c that could be combined with a magnet system for car holders (like Nilkin: nillkin.org/accessories/chargers/nillkin )?
Are there any 5T cases with a magnet in the case itself which could be used with a universal qi-receiver?
Does anybody have a practical experience with a magnet ring or quadratic magnet like nilkins on the inner side or the outer side of any normal 5T case ? If so, which ("normal" 5Tcase was that?
Thanks for any and all help you could give me.
Regards,
Pavana
Hi Pavana,
I don't have a positive answer for your query. But if the need of having a magnetic cover is because you need hang your phone in the car, perhaps you can consider to use a qi charger on your car.
I have been using this for 10 months now. While it is slow in charging (barely maintains the level of charge if I use navigation+sportiy at the same time), it works with many cases, even this one.
