But i need an EU exit which is 2 round pins, is it possible to buy it somewhere ? i need the Samsung official one. I do have different adapters but its not the same like the real one, most of them don't fit. Moreover i use a EzoPower travel international wall charger but the speed of charging is less then half of the real charger.
Thx!

I use all sorts of third party chargers and they pretty much all work, What you need to look for is the rated amperage. the GN needs a 1 amp charger, most chargers out there for cell phones are rated at 750 mA or 500 mA.
You should also check to make sure the phone is in "AC Charge" mode, as this will indicate that it's trying to draw the full power from the wall charger, if it's set as "USB Charge" it will only draw 500mA regardless of what it's connected to. You can cheat this by shorting the two data pins, this will force the phone into AC mode.
something like this would do the job, at 2 amps, it's overkill, but I assure you, your phone will charge *Very* fast.

The trick, look for chargers designed for the Ipad that have a USB port, then use your own wire.
The EU model ETA0U80E,

it's thesame EU nexus come in box.
try also ETA0U10E, same, but without USB cable.

I was looking into this type of charger does anybody use one?
I was also wondering if it would work with a quicksand case ?

Yup, I've got that one in black. Works just fine with my Quicksand cases. Just to let you know, it only ships with the charger, no micro USB cable, and no power adapter. Most included USB cables that ship with Qi chargers are crap anyway. So I suggest if you get a Qi charger with a cable, that you replace it with a better one anyway.
I'll have a review up with a comparison between several of my Qi chargers some time next week.

Is it worth the price ? I was going to use the stock USB cord anyways
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
In terms of performance it's good. Works just like any other 1A output Qi charger I've got. As long as a Qi charger receives sufficient input power (good AC adapter, good cable) and has 1A output, all Qi chargers basically perform relatively the same.
Price wise, you can't really get much lower than that. The one you posted, I got in black for $12.00 including shipping, but you can't really get it at that price anymore. Cost wise though, that's still a pretty good deal.
It is one of the larger Qi chargers I've got though. So keep that in mind. I use this one by my bed as it's easier to make sure I've placed the phone centred on a larger pad when I'm half asleep.
Here's a size comparison with the phone on it.
Thank you for all the input. Do you think the stock USB cord will be sufficient?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, the stock cord is a great cable. I use that USB cable with this charger as well. It's connected to a 2A AC adapter, into a powerbar by my bed.

IMPRESSIONS
This charger blew the socks off my OEM charger. I got it when I had my HTC One M7 and the charger that came with that phone did an okay job - but it was more like a trickle charge. When using this charger, I was able to get a full charge from an almost drained battery in about 2 hours. And it was roughly the same time to charge both my wife's Samsung S4 and my M7 at the same time. :highfive:
This charger is great. It has two ports and it is has good build quality. I have been using it now for a few months and it is still going strong and charges my Nexus 6 great when I don't want to use the insanely fast turbo charger.
Not quite sure what the "Smart" port is for - the box did not come with a description on that.
RECOMMENDED
I would recommend anyone in search of a USB wall charger to purchase this product. I have used OEM chargers, and cheap replacement ones, and this one beats all the ones I've owned, hands down.
Will this work with a Kindle?
"Smart" USB chargers include solid state logic with serial communications chips. When you plug in a device that wants higher current, it sends a query to the power supply saying something to the effect of "I want 2 amps. Is that OK?" If the power supply is a dump USB port, it doesn't answer at all, so the device either doesn't work, or only draws the default 500 mA (and charges much more slowly.)
Hello,
I got a great discount from <MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED> on a QI Inductive Wireless Charging Pad for an honest and unbiased review.
I had to pay a few Euro though but that was ok for me since I didn´t ever used the wireless charging functionality of my Nexus 5 (2013) and Nexus 7 (2013) before and wanted to see the difference
<MODERATOR EDITED - SPAM LINK REMOVED>
The build quality is nice, I didn´t see any sharp edges. The text markings are easy to read too. The surface has a nice soft touch feel.
This charger can deliver a max. power output of 7.5W and requires a max. input power of 10W ( 5V @ 2A max. USB charger ).
There is no USB charger included but that should not be a problem for most guys here

Tests:
I used the App Ampere for the tests in order to have a good guess, if the charger can deliver some serious current output.
The best readout I could get was about 690mA which is lower than the 900mA up to 1A current you might get from a regular USB charger when using a cable.
I also checked the efficiency of the QI Inductive Wireless Charging Pad itself by hooking it up to my DIY Power Supply. The current drawn by this charger was about 1,1A while delivering the 690mA to the phone.
If there is no phone attached, I could read out a pulsating current with a max. amplitude of about 100mA. This charger will use nearly no power at all if it doesn´t load a phone.
Well, the phone is charged at a lower current because the inductive charging is not as efficient but the difference is still tolerable.
You can use such a pad on your night stand to charge the phone during the night, without having to fiddle around with any cables
I´m happy with this Charging Pad though and I hope that this one will last for a while.
Did you make similar experiences too ?
After having tested the Quick Charge 3 chargers, it is time to test the USB-PD ones. This model in particular is the 30W variant with 1x Type-C Output.

Starting from the materials, the charger feels pretty solid with no glossy parts.
For best results, i have combined this charger with 2x Type-C to Type-C cables from the same brand, and the quality is excellent with a thick braided cable and metal shielded plugs. Unfortunately this charger doesn't include any Type-C cable.
Its power output looks to be as good as it should be, and my Essential Phone PH-1 was able to charge at lightning fast speeds with no issues. Unfortunately i am not able to show any voltage output for this because my USB Tester doesn't support USB-PD.
I am going to add more details about this test as soon as i get my hands on a new USB Tester.
As regards the Type-C cables instead, i am kinda disappointed. 4.62v for a 3A load is quite low, and this is the shorter variant. Basically, the thickness mentioned before is probably only due to the braiding and not to the internal wires (20AWG declared, i have some doubts about this). This test has been made using the Quick Charge Charger already tested previously. (link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/accessories/ugreen-4-ports-desktop-charger-quick-t3830526)
So, apparently this is a placebo, since again i can say that the charger is great thus i can recommend it, but i can't recommend any of those cables due to high resistance of them.

Nice review that u have but I think there's only a small users whose gonna buy this kind of charger
Can you help us by telling how much battery was charged in how many minutes and was that result obtained when you were using the phone (light usage like watching media etc) or switched off state or was it when screen was not lit?
I see some of these online... but when used with 45W wall charger from Samsung, do all versions properly pass the 45W through to the phone, or does the dongle interfere?

I don't like the fact it claims it protects device against excess current. It says it supports PD fast charging though so it should be good.
Well, I bought this and tested it:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/moshi-...e-jack-adapter-silver/6352696.p?skuId=6352696
And it appears it only allows rates of charging higher than 5W if you plug it into the phone first, then plug the charging wire into it, not the other way around. My excitement was short- lived though...
I am going to return it, because after much testing it became apparent that it cannot charge at a rate higher than ~15W, when it should have allowed ~25 (and this with trying the meter both before and after the dongle)..

$40?
there's gotta be a cheaper dongle
can anybody advise?
Do not buy any of these unless from samsung!
I just checked the "Samsung Members" app and saw this warning. I will post more here as I learn anything...
