I love how my Nexus 7 is able to charge my phone very quickly. Do you use the N7 charger on your Gnex without problems?

your other thread you started asks about your phone smelling like burnt plastic. maybe you should use the charger it came with and see if it still does that
I don't use the N7 charger on my phone regularly. I used it last time I went on a trip because the original was at the house.

should be okay. your n7 charger provides more current than the standard gnex charger. the phone's charging circuitry will only draw in as much current as it can take without damaging itself.
ever single electronic device i own i charge with the charge with the charger they came with
I have random chargers laying around everywhere. At work I charge with my old Nokia n86 charger. All good. :thumbup:
Using the HTC charger for a few years that came with my G2

I been using my old HTC charger for my galaxy nexus on an off for the last 12 months with no problem, I never heard of anyone damaging their phone using other phone chargers that fit, if you lose your charger an buy a generic charger they work the same way without needing one made by Samsung, I know most phone manuals will tell you to only use charger supplied with phone but they always says that an rather you get a replacement through them.I also use to lend my gnex charger to other people at work who owned HTC phones all the time an they have no problem with it.

The entire idea is to have the micro usb system universally, all manufacturers / os. Only apple messes it up.
I use the charger it came with and also several other generic ones (car, work, second office) and all seem to charge fine with no signs of excessive heat. What about charging time? I just came from the HTC Thunderbolt and would leave it charging over night. I thought I read that is not recommended to do with the Nexus. Does anyone leave theirs charging over night?

I plug my galaxy nexus in every night before I go to bed to charge overnight since I got it last December that way its fully charged an ready to go when I go to work every morning, I have done that with every phone I have owned , I don't see how that's a problem.
GNex ~ N7 charger :good:
N7 ~ GNex charger
MicroUSB plugs are universal so all should work fine. Only time it'd be bad is if the wiring in the outlet you plugged into is done improperly.
It should be fine, as someone else stated earlier, the N7 charger is capable of supplying more current, but in simple terms it's a "suck" rather than a "blow"
The devices will all have regulator circuitry in to prevent damage.
The other way around is tedious (charging the N7 from a GNex charger...zzz)

Hello there,
I had bought the Samsung Galaxy S3 pretty much a week after it had been stocked in the shops. I got it with T-Mobile on contract and recently it takes like 4 hours to charge the phone through the PC, I'm currently sending the wall charger back with the 2 year warranty that European Trading Standards give as it doesn't work at all with any device.
Little Bit Information:
Rooted: Yes
ROM: CyanogenMod 10 (Latest Nightly)
USB Charger: The one that came with the phone
Please could anyone suggest or tell me how to fix this horrendous issue,
Much appreciated,
Thanks,
Josh
Plug it into the wall instead of your computer. Most newer devices (like the iPad, for instance) take forever to charge through the PC, but charge very fast from outlet. 4 hours through the PC sounds about right.
-.-

Hope I'm wrong but i don't think there is a solution for you then, it requires a certain amount of voltage or amps to charge at a normal (wall charger) rate. Maybe try a ps3 or Xbox it might put more power out?

go to store buy adapter...this is not an issue with the phone it is an issue with you not having the proper accessories
You could use ktoonsez kernel. It has a fast charge option for usb charging. There is a warning it may cause damage to usb in rare cases but I do it all the time never any issues. May be a temp. Fix til you get your new wall charger.

If you're stuck with a PC USB port, best thing is to just do a slimming down. In my experience streaming music or video is the biggest killer, at least on wifi.
You have to remember that when you charge from a computer your phone connect to it and begains to communicate with it. Even without doing any file transfers it still connected and using more juice. From my understanding the fast usb charging on the kernel mentioned turns of the transfer ability to increase charging time. If you dont want to wait for your replacement then go buy one from walmart.

Get a kernel which supports fast charging. Faux and ktoonsez I know for sure has it. Charging is like half of what you said and 2 hours when screen is off

Yup. This is one of those phones that you must use the supplied charger. Its more a tablet charger, not a phone charger

For starters....they give you a charger with your phone for a reason. You can't really complain if you aren't using the charger that came with the device. Second, the Note has a considerably larger battery, larger display, and quad core processor. These all draw more power. The provided Note charger delivers more voltage than the S3 charger. If anything you would want to use your Note charger to charge your S3.
Thank you gentleman, just checked and I think the one I was using was a 1.5. Might have been the one that came with the original Note cuz it looks similiar but is black. Btw...I wasnt complaining, just looking for help.

I had the same trouble with note 1 also, I found on the average any chargers over 2 amp tend to work the best. It took forever to find a car charger that could keep up with streaming music especially with LTE.

Thats wierd. I charged my phone with a one amp iphone charger last night. Worked just fine.
But it didnt like my 800 mah motorola charger.
My ipad/iphone chargers laying around will charge it just fine as long as it isn't in use at the time, they can't keep up if I am on the phone, well at least note 1. I tried a usb port on a power strip last night on this and it charged very very slowly also.
Fwiw my car has a usb port also, and the results are much the same.
It's a Samsung issue that nobody is willing to acknowledge. For some reason they only allow their phones to draw 0.1A over usb instead of the the standard 0.5A. Your note isn't recognizing your charger and is defaulting to usb mode. The idea that your phone would need more than 1A just to keep up with normal usage is ridiculous.
Thread Closed
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.

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

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.

that's just peak charging current, you'll be fine
I own a N7 2012 and hated its short and stiff cable.
If I use other cables, it won't charge as fast or at all.
Does N7 2013 has the same problem?
Not a nexus problem anyway. The cable and charger declare themselves as high current - or they don't. If you use a charger and cable that don't meet that standard, you will be limited to 500ma. A lot of cheap Chinese cables can't carry more than 500ma anyway. Cut them in half - you won't see any copper.

My 2012 N7 DESTROYED microUSB connectors. It would bend the catches down in the cable connector. It worked fine at first, but after a few days of using it, the cable wouldn't stay in because it had pushed the spring loaded clasp down to the point it wouldn't come up. Also, why does Asus put the connectors upside down from EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER? So annoying. I was trying to make a bluetooth speaker with a charging dock in it, but I can't use my N4, GS3 AND Nexus 7 because the N4 and GS3 have the port oriented one way, and the Nexus 7 is oriented the other way.
Part of the problem is that iphone/ipad chargers don't require the same configuration to be in a high-amp charge state, whereas micro-USB requires the proper connections to be in the proper charge state. I have some chargers for iphone/ipad that will not even show charging for Nexus 7 2012. Original Apple or not.
What is a good app to monitor the output from my charger? Or does stock have a built in feature? I feel like my Nexus 7 charges REALLY slow. I just dropped 10% while playing a game and charging for about 40 minutes, maybe that is normal? I may just be spoiled because of a certain other tablet that charges quit quickly.

Because of the nature of how devices charge, measuring the current via an app is very unreliable. The only app I have found that works at all on the 2012 nexus was https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.promethyl.batterychargingsourcecurrent . Not sure if it works on 2013, but its free

I've always wondered this. It's quite odd.
To answer the question, absolutely not. It is a charge whore just like my Galaxy Nexus. I've used iPhone chargers at 500ma all the way up to 2.1A chargers. The N7 was picky but the new one is not. It even charges off my car charger now which the first one would never accept... even after I modded it to do a fast charge on my Galaxy Nexus.
So yea, I haven't found one USB charger that it wouldn't gobble up.
