Emits a high pitched ringing when plugged in that made my girlfriend think she had ringing in her ears. It does this even without any draw. It also smells a little bit like burning electronics so I assume that means its toast and/or a hazard. Think I can get a free replacement from Samsung?
Probably not.. they only cost like five bucks though

Take it to Verizon or call them. They'll swap it out if it has a problem.

Mine makes the same sound, but only when it's plugged into the wall and not to the phone.. When I plug the phone the noise stops.. I guess it's normal... I can only hear it when it's really quiet in the night..

Mine does the same thing. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out where it was coming from.

You're assuming he's got a VZW version
My first vzw nexus charger had the issue and I got a replacement from support. It was lent a Samsung charger, just a generic charger but it has like a ten foot cord so I didn't mind! Anyways then had to get my nexus replaced (random reboots and a column of dead pixels bothering me) and got a new Nexus and inherently a new charger that ALSO has the ringing issue. Luckily I still have the replacement charger from before so I'm using that.
Pretty disappointing I got stuck with two annoying samsung chargers in a row though and I'm just leaving the USB cable connected to my computer.
Yup same thing here. I only hear it at night when its quiet. When phones plugged in it doesn't make the noise.

Is it high pitch or a low buzz?
My dell laptop's charger had a low buzz when it was quiet, never heard of anything like that from a tiny adapter like the one for phones though.
High pitch
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Mine is high pitched when the phone is not connected.
When the phone is connected it still makes a sound but it is a more deep hum but I must put my ear right near the adapter to hear that.

Common issue for these chargers. I have iPhone and blackberry chargers that make the same noise.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I think it may be common for chargers in general as my electric toothbrush charger does this too ever so slightly. .
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
It's called inductor/capacitor hum and it's normal and varies a little bit from device to device. Essentially it's just a very fast vibration.
Just for the record, I also have this high pitch squeeling from Samsung charger, only noticeable when not charging. My old SE charger 5V 700mA does the same and my 6yo HTC charger 5V 1A is quiet I think this sound has gotten worse since the chargers has become more idle efficient (not wasting power when not in use)

I know it happened to some others but could not find the post. While im charging my nexus, there is a whistle sound that can be heard, this happens when im using a Samsung car charger, but with others, it was reported as wall charger too I think. Can this damage phone? It charges fine, and this doesn't happen, or I never noticed when charging via usb or at home

It's probably the cheap capacitors in the power supply. No worries.

Happens to me to, its the cheap usb/charger samsung supplied, I use a dedicated usb charger from a previous phone with no problems, hard to sleep with the hissing next to your ear.
My home charger was whining last night prior to me charging in the phone. That was the first time I've heard it before. Kinda freaked me out cuz I was getting ready for bed.

Does anyone else's charger make a high pitch noise when it is plugged in? Same noise if phone is charging and if not connected. Mine has done this since day one no matter where the charger is plugged into in my house. I haven't noticed it elsewhere but there is usually more ambient noise other places I go. I've never heard a charger make noise before and just wondering if this is a defect that is going to burn my house down.

Same here. I meant to clarify and say that it does it when the phone is plugged in but only after the phone has reached full charge and stops charging.

Mind does (well, 'did') the exact same thing. I threw it out and bought the powergen version on amazon. no more crazy high pitched whines. Was driving me out of my mind until I discovered it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21764137
Kinda had a feeling to not use it as it's a higher voltage but it would charge my phone so much faster it felt like. Well now the phone will just reboot no matter what rom or stock rom I use. If it does get to boot up the screen starts flickering and you can tell something is wrong. It stays on fine in recovery or bootloader but nothing else. I can flash anything the problem is when it needs to boot up. It's very weird but sprint is sending another after they tried to tell me it's because it's rooted.
Wow good to know, almost used it last night to charge my gnex

Strange. I've used sooo many different chargers everywhere I go and never had a problem. If its micro USB, I use it.
I used the n7 charger one time and I swore I smelled burning plastic or something....never again will I use it on my gnex.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Errrr . . . I actually suspect you've just stuffed yourself up some other stupid way. (or the charger you used isn't actually a Nex7 charger)
The Nex7 charger is not higher voltage. It's 5v, just like the GNex expects. It's a 2.1amp charger, compared to a 1amp one for the GNex, but that's irrelevant, as chargers don't "push" current to a phone - they'll only give it what it asks for, so using a 2amp charger with a device that expects a charger of 5v, 1amp, is not a problem - it'll just give it the 1 amp.
Yes he's ^^^ exactly correct. The voltage is the only concern here.. and it's 5v like every other USB charger should be.
I have charged my gnex into a 24 volt outlet an still didn't get problems lol

im guessing the issue lays someplace else too, not with the charger. i use my nexus 7 charger on my galaxy nexus every day, without burning smells or any other issues. id say ive used it at least 10 weeks in a row if not more.
hmmmm I use my Nexus 7's charger with my GNex all the time... and no issues
The only issue I've had with the N7 charger is the USB cord end is too fat and messed up my old charging port otherwise it was fine for weeks

I use an iPad 10w/5.1v charger to super fast charge my gnex all the time. Never had an issue. Only issue here is my gnex charger isn't as fast as this big beast of an iPad charger. Its your software, bro. Factory restore with gnex toolkit, youll be alright

Even on 24 volt outlet the charger will only allow the correct voltage to pass, same way a surge protector works an yea I charge my gnex in my truck cigarette lighter adapter that gives off 24 volts.

Did that same thing happens, maybe it is not the charger but pretty much it's something hardware no matter what software I load it reboots at random times and screen flickers. I was just using the phone one day and it rebooted and never stopped. Tried everything known to man to get this phone to work.
I also was using the nexus 7 charger for weeks and the only thing different was the usb cable is a blackberry but that should not matter.
I use my iPhone 5 charger
I use a kindle charger (and its long usb cable) to charge my gnex all the time.. and that thing is meant for all eink kindle models including the dx. No issues at all.
Have also used iPad charger, old gravity touch charger, iphone charger, 5v is 5v.. so don't really matter what charger you use .
I can confirm that I have used my n7 charger with an aftermarket cable/n7 cable/gnex cable about 20+ times n i never smelled any burning plastic/metal/rubber/carbon fiber. My gnex still performing exactly as b4, except the sucky 4.2 update, that is. That blows, big big time. I mean, i seriously had the desire to slam the damn thing in the wall so many times. But I digress.
Conclusion-Either I have a special super gnex, or n7 charger doesnt affect the gnex. charging speed=slighly increased though. slightly. like 15mins lesser.
I've used a nexus 7 charger with my gnex 50 times+, no issues.
I've had 3 Android devices and 3 chargers. I don't even know which is for which, but I've never had any problems with charging any device with any of the chargers.
Definitely no issues. I've been using Nexus 7 and Blackberry Playbook 2 ampere chargers without problem
I tried my charger for the first time last night and as soon as I plugged it in, it immediately began getting quite warm and emitted quite the loud buzzing sound.
Is there any way I can get my charger replaced without having to return the whole tablet?
Some chargers buzz once its fully charged. Don't know why but its annoying.
My iPod chargers don't do this. Neither do most of my chargers. I am using a white Chinese cheapo that is buzzing. I haven't used the official charger because I keep the accessories wrapped up in new condition since its easier to sell that way.
Could just be a cheap charger or defective. Easier to just pick up another one from somewhere. At my house I have multiple devices using the OG Nexus 7 2.1A charger.

the link doesn't work, the brand is not mentioned, neither the model... Bad post man
fixed link - http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot%C2%AE-Inductive-Compatible-Including-Smartphones/dp/B00F6SPYJS
Bought this when it was on sale for like $14.99 by the same primo-superstore guys. Great qi charger. It does BEEP when you first put the phone on but doesn't keep BEEPING once the phone is fully charged like some others.
Very low noise beep tho', so not really a big deal. There's also a tiny LED light on the front of the charger for indication. It did not come with an AC adapter so you'll have to supply one. But it did came with a long and a short micro USB cable. I suppose one is for connecting to a wall charger and the other one for your computer. It does charge just phone if you hook it up to the computer USB port, although much slower.
Best $15 buck I spent all year.
Bought the same or similar one from FastTech and am waiting for it to come in. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Does it keep the Nexus 5 at 100% when you charge it overnight or does it completely stop charging once it reaches 100%. Does the phone/battery get hot when using this charger?
Ya it works with my digitronic case no problem and the beep actually really helps letting you know its charging. Ya I know there is no brand and sorry for the bad link but I have both the official nexus charger and this one seems way better I can just set it down hear the beep and its good to go where the nexus charger I always have to double check the placement when I put it down.

What happens when the phone reaches 100% and you leave it on the charger (As would happen when you're charging it overnight). Does the charge remain at 100%?

Yes it remains at 100% and does not beep all night like other ones it has been working great so far. I read a lot of people having trouble with these types of chargers they would charge then it gos to 99% then back to full and beeps on a cycle all night long but I have not experienced that with this charger. I don't know if this one on amazon is different then other ones sold on eBay they all look the same but so far the one from amazon is good. I'm almost thinking about returning the nexus charger to Google because I don't use it anymore.

I bought one too and I like it a lot. I can charge my nexus 5 (via Qi), Nexus 7 FHD (USB, 2.1A) and Dell Venue 8 pro (usb, 1A) simultaneously while charging the internal battery.
Just ordered one. It says 17-28 days, which is a while, but I'm not in a hurry
Does it have the magnets though that the nexus charger has? That's really why I wanted to buy the nexus one.
I got this last week. I used velcro to stick it to my car mount. I had to remove the rubber rings from the top and bottom to make this work.
It does not have magnets. The magnets in the official charger set it apart from most other Qi chargers.
It works well with my Dizitronic TPU case
FYI - Here's the Fasttech model. I can confirm that this works with both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Fast charging, and no beeping all night. For those people having trouble with beeping, try being more precise with placement... I find on the Nexus 4, that if I put the charger dead center on the body of the phone, it will beep continuously. If I offset the charger about 1/2" towards the micro-USB port on the phone, the beeping stops and it charges perfectly. The Nexus 5 seems less picky about placement, the sweet spot seems to be quite large in comparison.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006012/1462103-t200-qi-wireless-charging-plate
I bought two, and really need to buy about five more. They're awesome.
Oh, and to answer someone else's question, no magnets for the N5... but flat on a desk and with the large sweet spot, it doesn't seem to matter.
I have this one too. It's worked well for me as a magnetic car dock (had to add the magnets). I hated the Beep sound whenever it became misaligned so I popped it open and found the speaker.
It's the tall black thing in the middle-left of the attached image. If you pop off the top plastic lid of that little black thing you can remove the little metal circle that sits inside it and it stops the beeping. If that's an issue for anyone else...
Hi. I bought the same and works well. I think the bip sound is a good thing because sometimes the position from the phone is incorrect. In this case no bip

Expecting it to be functionally the same as my "puck" charger, so will need a larger PSU (I use 1.2A) to solve the problem of not keeping the phone topped up after its fully charged

There's already several tutorials on how to do it. But I bought these from Amazon and they work great. Needs non-slip grip though so I used one of those silicon Smartgrip dash mats I bought at the container store on top of the magnets. Works great. Here's the tutorial I used though. And a picture of my charger now.
