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.

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

Hey guys,
So I made this rather funny discovery (not surprising though). I have an OTG cable for my Gnex to read USBs, out of curiosity, I plugged in my USB data cable for a Galaxy tab 7 (P1000).
Since this tablet doesn't really have USB host functionality (unless I have like 300 cables and a power source), my Gnex was charging my Gtab :\
If I were to get a new tablet (which I plan to later), could I choose which device to charge which device? Say e.g I want to charge my phone using my tablets power. I ask this since newer tablets have host functionality.
Thanks
Bwahahaha. I have visions of a short guy bringing a tall guy a ladder.

it's not going to work, you can't output power through MHL or host(im pretty sure) and besides the voltage would be to messed up to charge. so no.

OK.JPEG
I see your point, the charge provided by USB host wouldn't be that high anyway...
Would be a cool function to have though right? I've been caught in situations where I wish my tablet could charge my phone ...

Yes you can output current through OTG, so it is not a wonder that you can charge your tablet. Otherwise you could not even use any memory sticks and such.

I doubt the GNex can output enough power to charge the huge tablet battery at anything but painfully slow 1% per hour process.

Moreover, the Xoom cannot be charged through USB...
But I like the idea to charge the GNex through the tablet. It's got quite a large battery. Two actually.

The other way around works just fine with my XOOM. My XOOM can charge my old N1 and my new GNEX just fine... XOOM has like 3 times the battery...
Seems like that any new tablet I get then would be able to charge my phone then
I won't be charging my tablet much, most likely tablet charging the phone e like you guys have mentioned!

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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:

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?

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)

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.

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.

I'm not sure if it's just me or that I'm just buying cheap cables but my Nexus 5 basically eats Micro USB Cables in terms of a loose connection between the connector and port. My 2 Amp Blackberry charger only lasted about 2 months (I was recommended by someone who says it was the fastest charger for Nexus 5) and now only works when at a slight angle. I just bought a JuiceBitz Premium Cable (Can't post links but Amazon has them) and within two weeks just destroyed the connector. I never had this problem with any other phone, just wondered if it's a Nexus 5 problem...
I've had the exact same issue.
Same problem here.
Its been almost one and half year for me using the stock usb cable. It still works fine for me, no issue at all. But in last few months, i am feeling that its getting lose in the port, still no trouble, but i think it wont be same for the next 3-4 months.
Still, almost 2 years, I wont say that's bad.
I've had the Nexus 5 since it's release and the blackberry 2amp charger as well. I have 4 of them because I thought they would wear and tear like all other chargers, but it didn't. Still on my original first blackberry charger and it looks new still. It's a user problem not a phone problem.
