Does anyone know of a OEM Car Charger that actually charges a responsible amount?
I only know of four 3rd party Qi car chargers.
1. Owl charger
http://owlpad.net/
2. iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Standard Charging Car
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
3. Air Dock

4.KOOLDOCK
http://www.fonesalesman.com/collections/qi-wireless-carger-pads/products/kooldock
I personally own the Owl charger but it does charge that well. Last night I forgot to charge my phone so it was dead in the morning. On my morning commute of 30 minutes, I charged my caseless phone while it was turned off. When I got to work I turned my phone on and it showed 1% battery life. A 1% charge in 30 minutes with a phone powered off is unreasonable. If I am out all day long driving my phone will go dead while mounted on the charger only using bluetooth and pocketcasts.
The second charger is the iOttie which I have no experience with. Will it actually charge the phone a substantial amount?
I am also interested in any other Qi car chargers that do not have to be custom made.
The air dock and the iOttie are two different products.
Unfortunately, I don't have either and can't give you any feedback.
There is no OEM Qi Car charger. There is not one made by neither LG nor Google. There are however many made by 3rd parties other than the 2 you listed. On amazon alone there are about 20 that range from $25 and up. The $25 one though I am leery of, it seems like an odd set up. There are also many on Aliexpress as well. Owl Pad was the 1st one that I know of and since then others have been made. I have been keeping my eye on a good Qi Car Charger setup and was hoping iOttie wasn't going be too pricy. They are sadly one of the most expensive I know of.
I have been thinking of getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-3-Co...id=1398445724&sr=8-19&keywords=qi+car+charger
These are some of the others available.

I'm using the official Nexus Qi charger in my car along with a Proclip car mount. Works great.

Hello,
I had both these items with my old i9000 which I included when I sold it.
Looking to get a fitted air vent holder for my dashboard, as well as a car charger.
Based on past experience with the i9000, the car charger needs to be a 2A charger so I can charge the phone faster, as well as have it keep charging with the screen on for navigation. (and yes, I am aware a higher amperage could potentially wear the battery, happy to take the risk )
I got the original 2A charger from dealsextreme, but I can only see weaker/crappier chargers for sale on there at the moment. A brief search of ebay hasnt shown any moulded/fitted holders yet.
Ideas?
The official Samsung car charger CAD300Ube is at 0.7amps. I've seen aftermarket chargers at 1a but I havent seen any at 2 amps
I just picked up the Rockfish premium charger that is 2A. Haven't true it yet though.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I got a dual-port car charger from dealextreme and plugged a USB cable into the "ipad" port. It charges my SGS2 well and I do not notice any battery drain while I'm on a road trip using the SGS2 as GPS navigator. Well worth the $2 I paid for it.
I used one of these on my i9000 and will be getting one for my i9001
You can see the vent part you need to the right of the holder

I bought a supposed 2 amp charger from deal extreme a while back. It wasn't 2amp. If you get one, test it to see what it actually puts through. The one I got was only .5 amp even though it was advertised as 2 amp.
How to check amp output? I have a 1A charger which can't charge my phone while navigating. Might buy another charger but first want to check if it isn't limited by the phone itself.

When I did it, it was on a Touch HD. I ran a couple of different battery monitor programs to see what it was pulling in. I found that almost every car charger (about 8 or 9 ) I tried was only 0.5 amp...some claimed 1amp some claimed 2amp, most claimed 0.5.
Anyone find one that works well? I got a Cellet retractable micro use charger last week, and it charges my Motorola Electrify M just fine as well as my Gen 1 N7. No dice on the N7 FHD.
Ideas?

I just got one of the sea few day ago:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8M4IMK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has dual USB ports. One is marked Android the other Apple. The apple port if specifically designed for apple devices (iPhone 5, iPad).
Individually each port can do about 2 amps, or 3.6 amps total if both are being used. The Apple port will charger other devices slowly with standard Data sync cables or full speed with a charging only cable (no data).
Basically with a Charging only cable you could charge two device, one at about 2.1 amps max and the other at about 1.5 amps max (3.6 total amps).
I have two dedicated charging only cables coming that I plan to keep with this car charger so I can charge my phone and tablets on to go.
I tried my Nexus 2013 in my dual Sprint car charger that I got from amazon (Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Car Charger - Black with USB Port) and I'm getting a really good charge for my Nexus.
I even tested my phone charging in it's USB port while the Nexus was charging on the main cord and both seemed to cahrge jsut fine.
If I just charge my Motorola Photon on the main cord it charges faster than any AC adapter or car charger I've ever used.
I highly recommend it.
I can't post links yet but its $6 on Amazon.. search for... Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Car Charger - Black with USB Port
Fommy says its compatibale for the Nexus 7 2013 too but it's $19.95 there.
(Sprint® (OEM) Micro USB Vehicle Power Charger PLUS for Google New Nexus 7
SKU: 89356
Price: $ 19.95)
HTH.
Anyone had any success using a wireless charger in the car?

I suppose that would work, a 2 amp or 1 amp car charger should power most QI chargers.
Not sure I see the point though, I see two issues:
1. Wireless charging is less efficient and slower (better suited for the desk or night stand).
2. There's a good change the device will move around while driving and not charge if the coils are not aligned properly.
You could try a modify a car mount to hold a wireless charger, but you still would have the slower charging issue, withc may not really be an issue for some.
I have however seen a car mount that holds the phone and has a opening to hold a round QI charger, but wouldn't work for the N7. See here:

What I'm thinking is, taking the back of a slide-in type cover and hardwiring the wireless charger behind it. A slide in type cover should minimize any movement/alignment issues.
Then affixing the entire assembly over my existing NAV screen in the dash with the wireless charger hardwired to the car.
Then, I can slide in/slide out the Nexus as desired, and not have to worry about fiddling around with the Micro USB connector.
I'm not concerned about charging efficiency, more about maintaining power. A 2A charger at 60% efficiency should provide me the 1.35A that the Nexus 7 needs. When needed I can remove it and fully charge it.
I had an ATT branded iphone charger with usb port. When i plug in a usb cable and try to charge my htc on in the car it complains it cannot charge at full speed. What brand/make car charger will get me a normal charge in the car?

I grabbed this one here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R03A7077
Just received it a few days ago, haven't been able to fully test it, but it seems to be just fine.
Many car chargers just don't put out enough juice - especially older carrier branded ones (ie: cheaply made and sold at a premium). I'd be curious to know the rated output of yours.
The wall charger that ships with the phone is rated at 1 amp output. I've used a 500mA charger and haven't seen that message, though it does charge noticeably slower (as you would expect, with half the current). I don't know the specs on the charger that peteschlabar linked to, but you can find hundreds of chargers on Amazon or Newegg that are rated at or above 1A for a few bucks.
Well I didn't look at the specs of the charger I linked, but I was able to use it the other day while using my phone as a GPS. Battery level started at 94%, and was up to 96% about 1 hour later while using the charger and GPS nav with google maps for the entire hour. I'm completely stock, and the phone gets pretty toasty while charging.
But, main point - the charger seems to work just fine, keeping the phone charging upwards while in use.
Ahhh the joys of having an actual power outlet in your car. I don't have to worry about such things!
But my truck doesn't have that, so for my truck I bought the usb one that goes in the lighter, and it's powerful enough to charge an iPad, it's Belkin brand and it charges my phone very nicely, doesn't seem to be any slower than the house charger.

I been using the same car charger since the inc2.
Still working great!

The wall charger that ships with this phone is the same, albeit slightly updated, model as the one that shipped with the original HTC Droid Incredible 3½ years ago, which I still use to charge my phones. They're both model number TC U250 with 5V-1A output and both have the same 100-240V~200mA input. The part numbers are different, though, and they're cosmetically different on the back with extra certifications on the newer one, and they also added Spanish and Chinese translations to the English.
I still use the same Verizon-branded car charger in my car from when I originally bought my Incredible, and if anything, it charges this phone faster than it did my Incredible and Incredible 4G. It went from 40-something percent to fully charged in about an hour of driving the other day with intermittent use. I was pleasantly surprised to see that.

I am a big fan of Y-CHARGE 4.2 Dual USB Car Charger By TYLT
hello
1)what do you say about these thing to the car
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-Cable-for-iPhone-5-5s/213215_1800369296.html
is it will charge the nexus fast?and when only the nexus will charge it will get 8.4 amp?
2)I see many fm transmitter's ,can someone Recommend on one that can go with ringe fusion on the nexus 5 ?
thank you
I use the DC-17 from nokia, it's really powerful, does not even seem to be charging in a car,
If you have an Aux input in your car, I recommend this:
http://smile.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTC4...d=1403801042&sr=8-2&keywords=kinivo+bluetooth
Works like a charm for me, it's got a 1A port where you can connect a USB cable to the charger and then to your phone; it won't charge as quickly as the standard 2.1A charger that comes with the Nexus, but it'll at least keep it from draining too quickly. When I've hooked up my phone to the charger while I was using Google Maps/GPS, it kept my battery steady without draining.
first...I don't have AUX at my car sadly
second I bought the Belkin 4 ports of usb I think that it can give my when the Nexus is charging alone 8.4 amp it soppuse to be very powerful with the orginal cable or with the one that come with it
about the fm transmitter I have two but I thought about new one smaller something like these .

but I wonder if it goes right with the ringke fusion?
I've been using http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000S...00_QL40&qid=1404014983&sr=8-3#ref=mp_s_a_1_3 for a few years now and haven't had problems. I've bought them directly through amazon not through a third party for about $8. Right now it's just third parties that are selling it. It usually charges my nexus 5 in about an hour fifteen (from 0% with phone off)

Hm, that's surprising. The charger is listed as 950mAh, which would take 2.4 hours to charge the Nexus 5 from dead.
The Anker PowerIQ charger is another good option. It has an output up to 2.4A, and the maximum the Nexus 5 will draw is 1.6A. That gives you a charging time of 1.4 hours. It also has two ports and can charge two phones at the full rate at the same time.

I was surprised it took so little, last week I had my phone so low that it turned off. I plugged it in for half an hour, when I turned it back on it was at 43%.
Can anyone recommend a car charger that does dash/Warp charges?

It still lets you order it and is going to be in stock shortly based on the page: In stock on January 27, 2020.
Just in case you don't find a better deal.
It's worked quite well in my car...my problem now is I seldom need it. The op7 pro is a beast and keeps a charge for 2 days based on my usage....I'm now driving with it not hooked up to the charger..run it down to 30% and then have it charged back up in an hour. I've even left bluetooth on all the time because before I was enabling bluetooth when the phone was plugged into power (tasker) and now that's not happening most of the time.
Oh the car charger DOES come with a 3 foot cable but that wasn't long enough for my usage in the car so I purchased the 6 foot.
