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

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?

Any micro USB charger will work fine.

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.
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
All the time. No probs.

Same here...zero issues. When traveling, I charge my Nexus 7 with the Samsung charger from the GNex...and no issues there either.

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)
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
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 picked up the $189 refurb VZW Galaxy Nexus from E-bay.
It came 50% charged. Plugging it in while running had the battery discharging. Even though the icon showed connected to power.
I tried the Samsung OEM charger, plus 2.1A chargers for Galaxy Tab 10.1, Garmin GPS and iPhone/iPad. All failed to charge the device.
The phone died quickly when downloading updates. Then failed to charge at all, left on a 2.1A charger overnight, while powered down.
Getting an RMA and refund. Nice screen and light weight. Otherwise unimpressed with build quality. Caveat emptor.
Possibly just a bad battery?
