Hi all,
Noticed that my power monkey doesn't charge my nexus anymore.
Is this to do with needing more oomph so to speak?
Cheers

Same issue. I've emailed PowerMonkey support - it's a bit puzzling because the USB spec only calls for 5V and 900mA and the powermonkey classic is rated to output up to 5.5V and 1.2A.
Is your powermonkey charger also the classic version?
Yes, it's the classic version.
They've now suggested using the female usb tip and the normal usb cable to see if that works. Will try it later but I know the micro usb tip isn't faulty as it works on other mobiles.

I have some 6" cables that go from usb to micro usb so I can charge my phone and/or headset from my laptop without carrying around a full AC adapter.
Where do you buy you're extra cables from???

Anyone know of a decent ac charger that works with the nexus? I have like 5 micro usb chargers from various old phones, but only one or two work with the nexus.
I used the one that came with the phone

I use the one that came with my Nexus One. It's 5W charger, like the Samsung wall wart, but has a cable that's a foot or so longer. I keep the Samsung at the girlfriend's. At work I use a 5V/.85a motorola that I found lying around.
Any brand name charger will work fine. Off brands...well...you get what you pay for sometimes.
Idk if itll help, but I have an HP Touchpad in the house, and the "barrel" like wall adapter and a random micro-USB charge with "AC" power as shown by the nexus.
tl;dr buy an HP touchpad charger on the cheap.

i am currently using this one instead original charger，it works fine. works great on my samsung android phones and iphone4 ， except ipad2.the package with a free usb cable that for samsung galaxy tab . so you need a normal android usb cable, charger really small and great lookinghttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150731518...18326&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
I need a longer charging cord. The factory cords they send with these tabs are wayyyyy too short. 5 feet or so would be perfect. Any recommendations?

Longer cables can be found on amazon and ebay. Here is a link to one example.

I guess I should rephrase. What longer cables have you all used that will charge the tab while using it. Most of the extended USB cables have terrible reviews because they can't supply enough juice. I see the cellet cable has good reviews but no numbers tossed around as to what its output is.

I use a regular, generic (female / male) USB extender cable, connected to the stock Samsung one. Works perfectly.

Ditto, mines only a foot or two longer and it is more than enough distance for me.
Why do you need the extra long cable?
A regular extender cable works likea charm...
Dx.com has a lot of those

Can I use my iPad charger to charge my Galaxy Nexus.
IPad : The input says 0.45A 50-60Hz
The output says 5.1V 2.1A
While the the Gnex charger says
Input 0.15Hz 0.15A
Output 5.0V 1.0A
Will it be fine for the Gnex battery?
Any harm on doing this?

Anyone know how the Qi charger knows its connected to the official wall adapter? Tried plugging it to my car charger and my Galaxy Note charger but wont start charging either way.
I wondered the same, mine will also only work with the supplied charger. Perhaps it's the amp output. Will be getting the new Asus QI charger delivered soon, will let you know if that is as fussy.

well, i gave up on it and returned the official qi charger. will look for aftermarket options.
how many amps does your car charger have? My aftermarket Qi only works with 1.2A and up.
