I was wondering where I can get a charger that will work with the galaxy Nexus, I lost mine and I want to get one in a store for a cheap price. Any suggestions?
Phone: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: GummyNex
Kernel: Franco
Any micro USB charger will work fine.

My parents don't, they have an lg cosmos touch and it doesn't charge it... Any ideas on where I can get one that will charge my phone?

I've used a lot of chargers with my Galaxy with no problem (old Samsung i7500, HTC, Blackberry, 1st gen Nook). And the cheapo car charger I have works just fine too.
If you go to one of those kiosks in the mall that have the cheapo chargers, see if you can test it out before you purchase it.
I've tried using most brands of cables, since I have so many laying around, it seems for the most part LG chargers are the only cables that have problems with the GNexus
OEM works best

Any plug that says Output 5.0V should charge the phone. Voltage needs to match exactly. The wall charger adapter that came with my phone has an output of 5.0V/1.0A.
I have an old LG micro usb wall plug that outputs 5.1V/0.7A (does not work). I think I remember that the phone I got it for wouldn't charge on my laptop(which would have been a 5.0V/0.5A), so I guess they pulled a fast one and customized it so you needed to buy wall chargers instead of just using laptops etc to charge it on the go.
Be aware that if you get anything <1.0A the phone will charge slower than it would on the original plug.
My Blackberry charger only charges my GNEX to 95%. I use it because it's 3' long and I can lay in bed and fiddle with my phone while its on the charger. I have to plug it into the 'shorter' OEM charger to get a 100% charge.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if you guys knew of a good replacement for the samsung wall charger. I lost mine and I want to get a replacement wall charger that pumps out at 1A or whatever the original one was. Thanks for the help guys!
I'd stick with the Samsung original, it charges so fast! In less than two hours back to full battery, I've substituted using other chargers that comes with other phones at work and it's definitely slower

Here's the extra one I ordered, works just as good as the one that came with my phone, they seem to be identical

I like to use motorola's chargers, you can find them on amazon: "Motorola micro USB charger". They're more or less identical to the samsung ones besides the more rectangular form factor. I also recommend the motorola car charger if you're in the market for that. Both are quick charge and fill a dead battery in 1-2 hours.
Hi guys.
I have a problem finding good car charger for my phone while in car.
I either use sygic sat nav or Google maps but on top of that I stream music either via Google music or di.fm app.
Problem starts when I start streaming. My battery slowly drops down about 1% per 15min. I've tried various car chargers that have either 1amp, 2.1 amp and even dual 3.5amp they don't do the job. Only my HTC 1amp charger manages to hold the charge but it doesn't charge on top of that.
Any ideas and suggestions?

I bought the car charger from Amazon HERE earlier this year and it has worked out awesome. I usually leave it in my car but also makes a great wall charger for when you need it in a pinch and didnt bring your own. Its 17 (I got free shipping since I have Amazon Prime) and well worth it since I dont think I ever have to buy another car charger again for any device I own. Even charges my tablet.
Genuine Motorola rapid car charger, simply the best. Charges like a wall charger, seriously, phone says it's plugged into AC power
No other charger I have used, has allowed to use Google navigation and still quickly charge my galaxy nexus

In some roms like Slim ICS you can make the USB charge as fast as a wall charger!
I use a rocketfish 1a charger from bestbuy and it charges while using navigation and streaming.

I use a 1A HTC charger and never had any issues. Are you sure your cigarette lighter is working properly? It sounds like all of these chargers you've tried are charging at less than 1A.
I think 1 amp is about all it will do. It will have a hard time keeping up if you are using it a lot. I have the htc car charger and it seems to keep up for me but actually getting a decent charge while using it will be hard.

not all 1a chargers actually charge at 1a. it depends on if the two middle pins are shorted together or not.
this charger is cheap as hell - 3 bucks - and charges at a full 1a. i use it and it works perfectly.

I noticed this too, using a Kensington USB charger in the car. On my drive out to Phoenix, I noticed that having Navigation running while plugged in caused the battery to drain.
I also noticed that running Torque sucks the battery down as well. I stopped at a gas station that had a ton of gadgets, so I bought another off-brand USB adapter that stated its output is 1.5A. I also picked up the OEM extended battery at a VZW store while out there. It doesn't drain as fast now, but it does still drain a bit.
Motorola
Absolutely go for the motorola charger. I use it everytime in car, it's a 1A charger, has a nice blue light and can charge your phone even when using navigation.
And on top of that it's also cheap. I bought it in boundle with a motorola wall charger @ 10€.
is it this one guys http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motorol...846874?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a1ea6619a
Make shift cable.
If you're super cheap and/or like to DIY, I was able to get my Galaxy Nexus to recognize any USB charger as AC by cutting a USB extension cable in half. I then soldered/twisted the green and white wires within the USB cable together and then I soldered the red to red and black to black. By putting the modified USB extension in between the charger and a USB to Micro USB cable it will force the phone to recognize the charger as AC instead of USB. I sealed up my adapter with some White and Green heat-shrink tubing I had lying around so it would be easy to identify. Same thing can be done to a USB to Micro-USB cable if you want.

I hear you. This thread should have stopped at your post.
FWIW, I added your charger to my amazon wishlist.

For anyone still interested in the Motorola Rapid Charger, Amazon has it a few bucks cheaper than the ebay ad posted earlier.

Anyone in Canada interested in getting one of these for $5 + CDN shipping? I just picked up 4 of these from my mailbox in the states and am selling 3. PM me if you're game. (BTW, charges my GNex in AC mode) And if you're in Vancouver you can pick it up in person
I recently bought a official samsung car charger ECA-P10CBEG to charge my galaxy note 10.1
BIG MISTAKE. This charger does not charge galaxy note 10.1 tablet at all.
I tried the carger in my car, and a cross came over the battery that indicated that the tablet was not going to charge.
This car charger comes with official 30 pin samsung cable and can charge most galaxy tabs
full list of compatable tabs that work with this charger: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ECA-P10CBEGSTA-compatible
So, I chatted with a samsung representative, who also re-iterated that samsung galaxy tab charges won't work with note 10.1
(see attched image of conversation)
and that I need to call J&J to check if there may be a car charger for note 10.1. there isn't.
Just creating this thread to alert ppl, not to waste money buying samsung galaxy tab car charger.
Also, I asked about tablet's sensitivity reduced when it's placed on charging.... I suggested that this may be because the charger was defective and not earthing properly... guess what was the response....

Tab should not be used while charging.

Does it charge other devices like your phone? Maybe the charger is defective because these chargers can't tell apart different devices.
The wall charger can charge my galaxy note tablet just fine.
Just that there is a loss of touch sesitivity when the tablet is charging. Many other folks on this forum have had this issue.
The car charger does not charge galaxy note tablet. Don't have any other device that works with 2A current to try plugging in on the car charger to see if it works. I am pretty sure that car charger is good, though. Just that it does not have enough amperes to charge note tablet.

I got a new Galaxy Nexus from warranty. The charger I had been using with my old Galaxy Nexus doesnt work with my new Galaxy Nexus.
This was just a randam AC charger I found sitting around my house, it only worked if the phone was in fast charge mode, wouldnt work otherwise. I had been using it as my regular charger for the past couple months. Got a new galaxy nexus, and it does not charge with this charger.
Whats the deal, seams weird. It charges fine with other chargers.
May be charger damaged
