Galaxy Nexus Spare Charge (Slow Charge) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey Folks,
Does anyone have any experience with the Galaxy Nexus (VZW) spare charger. I bought one for my phone. I charged the new battery with the spare charger and it worked fine. Put it in my phone and everything was ok. It even seemed I got more life out of the new battery than the old.
Anyway, I put my old battery in the spare charger and the led just flashes orange and it seems like it is not charging because when I swapped it to see the battery life it was only at 31% so it gained about 10% overnight.
Does anyone know what these led's mean? There are no manuals or instructions that came with it.

Sounds like the olds battery is going bad.

Update to this. When one of my batteries shows an orange light, i stick it into my phone to charge. After that, it charges fine next time.

Extended battery fail

Bought the extended battery from verizon, installed it, charged it and now my battery is dropping about 1% a minute. What the hell?

Those and most extended batteries suggest up to 5 charging cycles before you see better results. Give it some time.
Yeah just wait and let it settle for a week...it's too early to assess results on first full charge..

Galaxy nexus/ N7 owners battery life just look and let me know please

I was thinking about putting my 1750 mAh battery back in my Galaxy Nexus since getting my nexus 7 because I use it more than my phone. How is the battery life for those with the normal battery that also use the Nexus 7 a lot.
Thanks

Well I have an iPad and a gnex so I'll give you my input I always use the stock battery (for me it's 1850 but mine has LTE so it's about even) and I can easily get through a day when I'm using my iPad. No problems. In fact I still have 19% left and I've been off the charger for the whole day with 2 hrs of screen on.
Sweet thanks do you tether to you iPad or have a 3/4g one

I've been using my Nexus 7 charger to power my Galaxy Nexus for a long time. The phone will regulate at what rate the battery recharges. You can plug in any micro USB charger, phone will still draw the power it needs.

I have this Nokia Wireless Charging Plate and it charges my Nexus 7 (2013). However, I notice that the charger light goes on when I put the Nexus 7 on it, and then after I few hours I notice the Nexus 7 screen shows fully charged but the Nokia plate light remains on. I would think the light would shut off when fully charge but mine does not. Anyone else have exprience with the Nokia Wireless Charging Plate and the Nexus 7 (2013)?
Yep. Normal.
Supposedly the charger drops down to trickle but doesn’t indicate that.

Thanks for posting this. I bought two at $24.50 a piece. Low and behold, they also had a discount for buying two accessories that gave you an additional 10% off each. So my total ended up being $44.10. Of course, add in tax and the total came to $47.54 with free shipping!

Phone on with no battery?

Hey guys basically I upgraded to a nexus 5. I want to turn my Optimus into a permanent installation in my car. But I don't want to leave the battery plugged in all the time. I tried removing it but the phone won't power up without the battery in it. Any simple tricks that I could use?

why dont you want the battery? unless you want it to turn off with the car, then your're gonna need something to do it for you. maybe when power plugs in.

It would be pretty easy to wire the cigarette lighters power wire to the ignition so it only comes on and starts to charge while the car is on.

But I don't want it to charge. The phone is going to be built into the car non removable. I don't want the battery the be constantly trickle charging so it damages it.

You might be SOL here, man. If the phone doesn't turn on with a power source with the battery removed (Like Samsung phones can do), its probably not possible.

What is wrong with just replacing the battery when it dies? Also in another six months the LG OG will probably be under $100 then.
