Can I use my old charger from my Original Droid to charger my new Galaxy Nexus?
The old charger is the kind that has the USB plugged into the part that goes into the wall socket. and has the standard mini USB, same as the charger that came with the GN. Was just wonder if the voltage would be different?
thanks for any help. Wanted an extra charger at work.
Should work no problem
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Should work. And it's micro usb for future reference. Mini is too big.

Yea, micro
Check the output. Ideally, you want it to match that of the GNex charter, which is 5V and 1A

The voltage should match, but the ampere doesn't have to. In fact, it's better if it's bigger (only slightly though, otherwise the battery might overheat).

Does the voltage have to match? Do we need additional transformers for travelling between Europe and USA?

The Samsung Droid Charge "charger" here in the US works just fine and can be purchased on eBay for around $5. In fact I think it's the same charger they bundle for the Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus.

You will see that most of chargers these days support 110 - 240 V and 50 - 60 Hz, so they should work everywhere. All you'd need is an adapter, but no transformers.

But it does need to be a 5v power supply.

That was for the input voltages. The output from the charger should be 5 V.

Hey guys,
Just want to double check can I use my galaxy tab 10.1 charger to my galaxy nexus? Is there any limitations?
Many thanks in advance!

AC to DC/USB/MicroUSB adapters are all compatible with the same devices.
Only thing you would notice is the charging rate might be slightly different from one adapter to another.
So yes, you can.

Thanks for your reply.
Do you think using galaxy tab 10.1 charger is faster than the nexus charger in terms of charging time?
Check the amperage on both chargers. The higher one will charge faster.
bow chicka wow wow.

Just finished charging.. and it is faster than the nexus charger.
I ordered the International Version of the SGN2 and it'll be here on Tuesday but I have an important question to ask. I watched several unboxings on YouTube and I could help but notice all of them came with the UK prongs for the AC adapter.
My question is how are the north american users charging their new Galaxy Note 2's?
Did you guys buy an adapter? Use a different charger? (If so would the nexus 7's charger work?)
Please advise...

You should be OK with almost any USB 5V charger rated at 1A or more, but a 2A charger, like the Nexus 7's, would be the quickest.

I'm glad you started this thread. This has been on my mind all morning. My GN2 should be here Monday. If anyone has a link to a good 2A charger please post.

When you pre order from handtec they throw in a free adapter, and the note charges super fast like 10% to a 100% in 2 and a half hours.

Anyone in Canada (Toronto area in particular) know where to buy one of these?
I know they're on eBay but I can't find it on the source.ca
Any suggestions?

I have American Style adapters with converter prongs, and have been using it on 220v here in Korea. I've used it the other way as well. They all work no problem.

AFAIK, the charging voltage on the Note II is the same 5V as all other phones, thus any USB charger should work. The only difference is in the current rating. A (tablet) charger rated for up to 2A will charge it faster, while others will be slower. Heck, you could use a 0.5A BT headset charger too! It will just take over 24 hours to fully charge the beast.
The current rating is the amount of current the device can supply safely. Its like a tap, the bigger the spout, the faster the water flow.

Actually my s2 charger (5v 0.7a) charges my note2 from 7% to 100% in 5 hours.
I'm considering keeping that charger for daily use as my note2 only charges during the night anyways while im sleeping and I think its more gentle on the battery to slow charge it. And I'll keep the 2A charger for emergencies.

Since the note II comes with a 2amp charger for people that buy this in the USA and dont need the euro style one I`ll buy it from you.

I have to daily charge by note 2 and tablet, I do really want to plug 2 wall adapters into the outlet. Is there a USB hub that I can plug into an outlet that splits into a multi usb hub port that I can plug the USB charging cables into (must output enough current to actually charge the device because I know if I plug my tablet into my laptop I get a X saying battery isn't charging) or is there some sort of cable I can buy that splits into 2?

You could always go this direction...
Anker® 25W 5-Port Family-Sized Desktop USB Charger
Or similar, as long as it has 2A output you should be okay.

that's a bit of a con.
Have a look on eBay. There is bound to be something similar and much cheaper there.
Hubs provide 500mA per port, higher currents would interfere with data signals.
There are a couple of chargers with two 2A ports, mine offers 2x1A or 1x2A, which is getting somehow inconvenient.
So I've had a wall charger for years with my gn. But I'm moving on to an s4. Does anyone know if there would be an issue using the same charger for s4 batteries?

I don't mean the charger, as in the usb cable. I mean a separate wall unit that you slide a battery into, charging the battery away from the phone.

Oh that think lol ok
That does not sound like a good idea, the volts and amps could be different and it may in fact damage your battery.
