European plug

I think we in America need to buy an adapter for the wall since this is a european phone and would only come with the 3 pin in wall plug.

I think not, here in Sweden we only have two pins, they are round though. But of course this phone will arrive with the right plug depending on wich country you buy it in.

I thought that this was just a charging wired cable but I looked at other sellers and seems it's a 2 piece USB cable with a detachable wall plug I know I have another wall plug for the USB cable
I'm not sure which country I'm getting from but if it is the UK isn't that a 3 prong plug

Yes, UK have the 3-pin plug. But the rest of europe is using a 2-pin plugg. As well as the metric system

On the other hand, you could use any cable you'd like with micro-usb for charging. If you have one laying around.

I think we all have extra cables laying around from past phones that will work fine..

Power adapter

just bought an Iconia A100 off a friend, but it has no power adapter. Can any of the Iconia series power adapters work for it? Also, I don't suppose an ACER netbook power adapter will do the trick, eh? Wish this thing would charge through the micro usb port. Was going to post this in the Q & A thread, but it doesn't look like there is one. Sorry if there is.

The a500,a100 and maybe 200 use the same cord around $10 on amazon

You need 12V, I guess that battery pack outputs only 5V.

I ordered two adapters from Pwr+ Store I used there eBay store, and ordered
the wall and car adapter, I tested both adapters with a volt meter, the wall
adapter tested at 12.24v, and the car adapter tested at 11.93v when the
car was running.

broke my Nexus 7 microsd cable..where to find oem replacement?

This morning I woke up and the microsd cable was broken, I guess in my sleep I bent it and it won't charge any more..(just the cable part) from the charger. Is there a place online to buy the oem original asus cable or something compatible? Something that will charge as fast as the original one.

I use a genuine BB cable from a 9900 Bold and it shows charging at AC rate, not USB.

Pretty much any micro usb cable from a reputable manufacturer will work (its the chargers where you get the differences). I've used my S3 cable, an old Motorola cable, and a monoprice (generic) cable for charging it and other devices with no problems.

Some generic cable don't work very well. I've had charging problems. You can get the Motorola cable pretty cheap on amazon.

Mine stopped working after about 3 weeks. The cable was never bent or even removed from the wall adapter either! It's very possible that you didn't bend the cable in your sleep, and instead the cable just stopped working like mine did. Since then, I've just been using one of my many HTC cables plugged in to the Asus wall adapter that came with my N7 FHD. It works perfectly!

Haha I was scrolling down to see if anyone would mention monoprice and you beat me to it. But yes try monoprice. Just ordered their premium micro-b USB cables which is the type you're looking for and just received them yesterday. Very happy with my order. Can get what you're looking for for less than $1.50 and no shipping.

Can you please give me the link to the premium cable your ordered?? I ordered some from monoprice a while back for my old s2 and they charged slow..

Buy the amazonbasics one. Cheap, good quality, gold plated, nice thick feel to it and very long!

I have not tested it on the tablet, but I charge my phone all day with it at work. Using the OEM HTC outlet adapter, it provides AC charging.

Here's a link to one of the cables I bought: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=9761&seq=1&format=2
This one is the 3ft cable but they also have 3ft and 6ft premium cables in black and white. If you go back a page to the full listing of USB cables scroll down to the section USB 2.0 Cables - Micro-B Type and you'll see all the different cables you're looking for. The first 4 are the premium cables. I got both 3 and 6 ft cables and no problems with charging times.

This is true! I think the post you quoted would have been better stated by saying that any cable FROM A REPUTABLE MANUFACTURER should work just fine. Not just ANY cable because, unfortunately, there are many 3rd party cables that are just junk. If you have a cable from your current or previous phone, and it's a phone manufactured by a reputable company, then it should work without a problem.

Fixed my post I've never bought a no name cable but I can imagine if they're cheaply/poorly built they'll have terrible impedance and charge too slow.
Also note that really long cables will charge slower (unless they use lower guage wire)

For Monoprice, avoid the 24AWG ferrite bead ones (the ones that go for about $1 for a 3-foot one). While they seem like quality cables at first, I've had 4 and 3 of them have gotten flaky over time (the D+/D- ones broke on one of them so it doesn't talk to a computer anymore, and the other two often lose connection when moved around).

I have a bunch of different standard cables from eBay (different lengths), even the colorful ones. All work without problems. It's a digital cable ( 2 data and 2 power lines). if it's not broken or shorted any cable should work. Of course if you approach the maximum length (5m -15 ft) of usb and the cable is not up to the specs it may start failing but for 1-3 m should not have problems with any cable. If we speak about the power adapter (not cable) it's another story. There are many variants and not all provide the specified power, but if the specs are correct the 2A and 3A ones should work. Car adapters , an even more different story. I'm not using my Nexus 7-2 in car (have a build in Android navi now), but I used the first gen Nexus 7, and I tried 3 different adapters until I found one which provided enough power to charge the tablet with GPS and navi on (most will let the tablet slowly discharge). I think this model require less power so maybe even some which did not work will work now.

I did two tests both using the Asus power adapter that came with the device and these are the specs for it from the Asus website:
Output:5.2V 1.35A/7W for other USB device
Input:100-240V AC, 50/60Hz universal
I attached two pictures using battery monitor widget. Just adding in too my n7 is unlocked and rooted but completely stock other than that. The first picture is with the Asus USB cable that came with the device and the second picture is with my 6ft premium cable from monoprice. Sorry if this isn't what you were asking for.

yeah was looking for the mA delivered to device...have you noticed any difference in how long it takes to fully charge the n7? I know there's tons of cables just looking for one with comparable performance to stock one.

I haven't actually been able to test the time it takes to fully charge since I usually charge it overnight but I'll try to run some tests and time how long it takes with the different cables and I'll post my findings. From what I've seen so far from using it, I haven't noticed any difference with charge time between the stock cable and the monoprice one With my experience using it to charge my droid razr (xt912) definitely no difference with charge time compared to the stock motorola usb cable. I'm sure with the n7 it's totally fine.

Source for power adapter?

I would like to buy a second power adapter and googling hasn't resulted in anything I'd call exact.
LG's part number is mcs-04wr2. It outputs 5V, 1.8a.
Any ideas?
thanks

Any 5V 2A

Hey guy, you can use any Power Adaptor with 5V and 2A. I'm using the original one at home and the one of my older Galaxy Tab 7.7 at work. You can buy any at eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress... But I prefer the Samsung original one, the Power Adaptor for S4 or Note 3 are little and light and works fine, and isn't over 15€ in Spain.

Agreed I am also using the Samsung S4 power adapter. You can get one here:

My generic cellphone charger works fine

Agreed pretty much any wall to USB adapter should work. It can charge off a PC USB port.
all you really need is a mini USB to USB cord and a generic wall charger.

I think an iPad adapter would work, too, just use a microSD cable with it.

The original charger is 1.8 Ah, so any charger of 1.8 or higher will do.
Chargers lower than 1.8 Ah will also work fine, but will take longer for a full charge.
A light phonecharger of i.e. 0.5 Ah will take quite a bit more time.

I also use my S4 charger to charge the tablet.

Replacement usb charging cable?

Bought a pre-owned N7 today but it's missing the official usb charging cable. Don't suppose there's a cheap solution? The Asus shop only sells the cable and adapter together and it's rather pricey here in Ireland.
I know there are cheap non official cables you can get but I'm not sure whether they will just cause more problems.
Help! Thank you!

Don't you have any micro USB cables lying around? Any of them should work perfectly.

Ah OK thank you. I just remember the 2012 being a bit fussy about what cable it would charge with.

i am going to tell you right now that that suggestion is not good. A while back, i bought 4 OEM LG cables to charge my devices, including my nexus. The cables charge all of my devices other than the Nexus. below this is a link that i posted on amazon to some cables that i have indeed bought and can confirm work with no issues with the nexus 2013 revision.

best of luck

All cables are NOT the same.
From one to the other you can go from .48 amps to 1.1 amps depending. I've seen some output zero on one devise and .44 on another. Get yourself a little monitor to test those cables. Also you might want to get a dumb cable that only charges vs. a smart cable that charges and syncs.

You do not need any special device to test the cables as you suggest. There are two apps I use to test the current flow on my nexus to determine which Micro USB Cables charge it the fastest. The apps are Current Widget and Battery Monitor. Don't need both but both can be used for the purpose of seeing how fast your phone is being charged.
I have many cables I have tried and found that OEM cables do work best for charging, for after market cables I own, the mono price thin Micro USB cables work the best on my nexus 7. I also have amazon basics USB cables but those do not charge well enough. I have a nexus 7 and a moto x currently, so when I can I use the moto x OEM cable with my nexus 7 and any cable with the moto x (the moto x has some kind of optimized charging ability and I have found it charges well enough regardless of cable, but the nexus 7 needs the right cable to charge at a good rate)

Thanks for all the replies....I knew I was asking a valid question. One day my N7 2012 just stopped charging with the supplied ASUS cable. Luckily I had a Samsung travel adapter lying around which it didn't seem to mind! Thanks for the Amazon links but unfortunately I'm not in the States (Ireland).

My Asus cable went bad on me within the first 2 weeks of me buying my tablet (new). I used an old HTC cable with the Asus wall charger for a while, then went with a Qi wireless charger. Much better than factory, now. That's my suggestion to you as well, just go with a Qi charger and be done with wires!

Just get a few micro-usb cables on eBay...

Have you guys found any cables that work with the OEM charger? I broke my original cable, and it seems that all my other cables have too much plastic shielding around the USB port to go into the slot. I have ordered a Monoprice cable and I was wondering if anyone has used this with the OEM charger

I have not had any problems with charging using my various mixed brands of micro usb cables. I have a dedicated 5 port usb charger capable of outputting a max of 2 amps per port and all seems fine. The only problem I've run into is one of my portable chargers seems to not like the N7.

Every single ASUS charger cable I have owned has failed more than once..
They are made cheaply but they charge a fortune for them..
You can find a cheap, but higher grade cable if you look in Amazon or eBay..
Just check what is the maximum Amps it can take..
I go through cords every day.. The ASUS cables failed the fastest..
