Hey just so I recently got my GNex but the seller didn't supply me with the original charger and my HTC one and Verizon one fit very lose on the port. So after some time on Google search finally found what looks like the real thing off of Amazon. From the unboxings I've seen they look just like the real thing and it fits a lot better too.
Here are some pictures of them as well as a link to Amazon only ten dollars shipped. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...5AH3_4?ie=UTF8&m=ALV6DBOZR5AH3&n=&s=&v=glance
Took 4 or 3 days to get here.

They also send a little flash light/laser pointer thing.
I'm happy with it. The cable is the same size as the original one that comes in the box with the GNex so is short not any longer.
I just wanted to share in case you guys were looking for one like I was.

I was in the market for a new charger but settled for a blackberry charger for its 6ft cord. It charges slightly slower but I'd rather have a longer cord than a faster charge time.

Yeah the Verizon one I have is six feet but slow charge. This one is a 1a so the charging should be the same as the one in the box with the GNex. So the specs and everything match perfectly to the original one which is why I got it.

Hey guys just picked up one of these from Tmobile store though I take some pics for everyone and let them see what it looks like. So far its pretty good this morning I forgot to charge my phone and I just swapped the battery and I'm off. Didn't need to bring a charger with me.
Its also the same battery as the one that came with the phone so battery life would be expected the same. One thing I like is the charger...I don't have to charge the battery in the phone but with an external charger.
Feel free to ask me questions about the product.
Price: $49.99 @ Tmobile retail store, online it ranges from $34-$45. I had a buddy that works for Tmobile and paid $37.50 they get %15 off. Plus they got the buy 2 get 1 free.
Pics below...

How does it work, does the light turn green after the battery is finished charging? Doesn't look like it has the ability to charge the phone at the same.

I'm willing to bet you'll see longer battery life via this charger compared to charging thru the phone.

Batteries aren't meant to be nice to look at but this one is.
PROS:
Same form factor as the OEM battery, no need for a different back cover.
Advertises 5% more milliamp-hours and seems to last at least as long as OEM.
Great price.
CONS:
Like other non-OEM batteries, this one lacks NFC. If you plan to use Google Wallet or Isis, you might find this unacceptable.
If you have OCD, you may also find it difficult to digest that the battery label is upside-down when you put it in your phone.
It's important to understand that this battery is not a crazy 4200mAh monster. You shouldn't be expecting anything incredible. The Galaxy S3 has an amazing stock battery, but if you need an inexpensive replacement or spare, this battery is great. I imagine it would help on long trips without a charger or during hot-swaps when you're plugged in.
I'll write a more thorough review with battery graphs when I have a free moment away from my masters thesis, but this should be fine for now D:
I love them! I got 2 of them with the wall charger... Had them 8 months and going strong.

OK, so I bought this car charger, and it has 2 USB ports on it, A and B. A charges at 1.0a, and 5w. B port charges at 0.5a, and 2.5w. My phone has some charging issues where it uses too much power. My phone only works in port B, and lately I have to reboot my phone to get that to work. I was wondering if I could get port A to work with my phone? I know it works because my dad has the Note 2 and it works in port A. Thanks in advance.
First off this belongs in GNex accessories. Second there's no reason your phone isn't charging at 1A if everything is working correctly. Sounds like some kind of grounding issue.
Sorry if it didn't sound right in the post, I meant that my nexus isn't even picking up port A. And yeah I think my nexus has some problems, I was using my dads note 2 charger which puts out 2 A, and my phone was discharging. I don't have insurance, so I don't think I can get it fixed.

Chargers do not ”put out” amperage. The amperage drawn is determined by the device itself. Even though the charger is rated at 2 amps, the phone will only draw about 1 amp.

Just looking around and I found my s4 charger to have an output of 2A and my GNex has a 0.7A
Is there a way to see the amp going in to the phone? I bought a random eBay chargers as well and I want to test the power going in so I know which ones to keep and which to give away to people as spares.
Battery Monitor Widget Pro from Google Play. Works perfectly. I caution buying "random" chargers from ebay.. seeing more and more people with exploding batteries and charger ports being fried. Just use caution.

The one by 3c so the first one. And I get ones that match the output of the home charger or a couple of ahma (milliamps) less. Then it requires you to use the stock cable

Opinions anyone? Saw it on amazon and was wondering if it looked cool to anyone else too.

Judging by how little back there is, it looks like it might put a bit too much stress on the charging port for my liking. I had something like this for my OG Evo with more height in its back and the port went out fairly quickly from the thing using it as support
I have seen this on eBay months ago, there is reason they don't sell very well.
One was £9 with free delivery.

I purchased some docks like this for our iPad Minis. They all broke at the dock connector very quickly, too much stress.

Or for under $30 get a wireless Qi charger. I use this one and works perfectly, even with my Poetic case on.
Yes Digi QI Wireless Charger; http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DY50GIE/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If it had some ports on the back for audio(3.5mm aux), HDMI, USB (for OTG functions), etc., then I would build some additional supports on to this dock to relieve the stress from the micro USB port. Without any additional ports on though, I don't see much of a use for this dock. I know everyone has an opinion and that's just mine, but a QI charger just makes a lot more since than this....
