If anyone uses a good quality cable or knows of one could u point me in that direction because I always find that the samsung ones stop working after a while around where it plugs into the phone.

AW: New Charger Cable
I always buy the 1 buck things from eBay. They work pretty well and if one breaks there are still enough, because I always buy 5 or 6 at a time.

I have a media bridge 6 foot cable I got off amazon. Great charger cable. It seems like it charges faster than stock too. Not just on my nexus, but also my uncles note.

AW: New Charger Cable
Just checked eBay.
From 1€ to 4,10€ in a day...
Lucky me. I bought 5 for 1 each a few weeks ago.
Hope they will lower the price soon.

I recently bought a nice retractable one from my local Office Max. Liking it a lot! Charges just as fast as the original cable and works for data as well.

I think Google just started accessories for the Nexus 4, like a USB cable, maybe that one will be solid.

Does a cheap MHL cable work just as well as the expensive one or is there any difference?
I bought a cheap one in focalprice some weeks ago (+-8 usd) , I will see then, but I don't own an expensive one to comapre,
I will review as I get it
Most of the time cheap is just as good

Go to Amazon and read reviews. You do get what you pay for in mhl... I have the Skiva mhl ($15). I bought one of the $5 ones first, and after HD mkv was stuttering and draining quicker than it could charge, I bought the Skiva and learned my lesson. In most cases, except simple cables like hdmi, you get what you pay for.

I got a no brand name made-in-China qi charger from ebay, and it works great.
just search with this term on ebay and you will find it.
"qi Wireless Charger for Nexus 4 Lumia 920 HTC 8X DNA Samsung Galaxy Note2 S3"
My concerns with the dbox / eBay ones are whether they will last compared to the nexus orb. It's tempting cost wise but I would be concerned the device fails and I have to get another. Did you guys compare at all to the official orb?
As for the official one, for those that own it is it really easy to pull off / on off the dock?
I read about Tylt and looks like a nice charger but I don't think I want to spend $80 on one either
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4
i noticed the d-box one the tablet slips off a bit so id imagine it would be the same for the official one...
I was reading through the Amazon reviews and it sounds like it can be a common issue and not just isolated to the Nexus 7. Funny that dbox lists it's product with no slip in the label

It's easy enough, just set it on the orb so that the orb is roughly in the middle, and wait for the docking sound, assuming you have it turned on. When you want to take the tablet somewhere just lift it and it comes right off the charger. It holds the tablet such that the tablet makes a great nightlight/clock for the nightstand.

You'd imagine wrong. Imagine that! :silly:
Nokia DT-900 has an indicator LED when charging. The charge plate is about the same width as the N7. So the LED is visible when placed in landscape orientation. Works well for me.
The drawback is the power supply not being USB compatible. One extra thing to pack for travel...
Has anyone see the Kidigi wireless dock for the Nexus 7 yet?

The Nokia would work for sure but it seems like I would have to do an international order. Doesn't look like it's sold in the US. I'll have to check thoroughly when I get home

att sells it and currently has it on sale for $51, there's a thread about it and the dt-900 on here somewhere. my local store had them in stock. online you get an extra 10% of of you buy 2 accessories and 25% if you get 3

You can get the Nokia DT-910 from AT&T and they have it sale priced at $51.75, which is the best price I've seen.

I'm going to miss using my pogo dock for my gnex, but wireless charging sounds cool. Are there any good dock recommendations out there? I use my phone as a clock so something where it's also a "stand" is what I'm talking about. Please post up any links!
I have a nexus 4 orb charger that I actually bought for my nexus 7. It's pretty awesome but a bit expensive. It's angled so you can see the screen but grips my tablet really well.
https://play.google.com/store/devic...ess_Charger?id=nexus_4_wireless_charger&hl=en
There's also a cheap knock-off version that I bought (it doesn't say nexus on it) to keep at work.
http://dx-box.com/nexus-wireless-charger-adapter-pad-for-lg-google-nexus-4-e960.html
It doesn't have that magnet-like hold on my N7 that the real one has but it might be OK for a phone.
But I would wait for this one...
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/google-wireless-charging-pad/
I wonder what the charging time of the new pad will be? Kinda like the look and idea but 4hr charge? Ha. I heard Sony is making one (or working on one) that sits the time in half but it probably won't be out till 2015
not the wireless dock, but if you guys remember samsung desk dock for infuse 4G, nexus 4 was kinda loose on that dock. Since the N5 is a bit wider, i hope it will fit on it perfectly!!!
Fingers crossed :good::good::good: :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Does anyone has the infuse 4G dock?
I like the orb thing, but I actually might just buy that nexus brand pad and maybe build some kind of dock for it.

This won't prop the phone up, but you could probably find a way.
I've been using it for about 2 months, works great, makes a quiet noise when connecting, works will all my cases.

It's not much bigger than a Galaxy Note. Funny, I actually used it to stretch out a leather pouch for my gNote.
FWIW I just bought the Nokia QI charger (DT-900) from AT&Ts website - $24.50 w/free shipping.
I read a review that went over the Nexus (old version), LG and Nokia one and chose the Nokia one as the winner... so... yeah.

Ha ha! I am in the exact same boat as you! I've been using the Infuse dock for my Gnex and am cautiously optimistic for the "fit" with my freshly-ordered N5! I don't mind it being a little loose ... Just hope it's not too snug.
(Wait... Did I really say that ^ ?)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Let us know if that works!!
I've been think more about the wireless charging dock and I don't see a practical way it will work. From my research, people say their phones barely charge, and sometime discharge when day dreaming on a wireless charging pad. So for me, not being able to use the dock for day dreaming a clock defeats the whole purpose of having a dock. Wish it just had pogo pins
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I use the orb for my n4 and the Nokia dt-910 for my n7. my n7 daydreams as my bedside click and it charges just fine. the 910 is a bit nicer than the orb imo, but the n4 had issues with it so hopefully the n5 is OK. it works perfectly with my n7, and I'd recommend either
I bought a Kidigi universal dock only to discover that the micro USB socket on the phone is oriented differently than most phones. It's back to front!
It looks like Kidigi has some new docks coming out, including this one for the Nexus 5:
http://www.kidigi.com/products_lv2.php?pid=1508
It doesn't seem to be on sale yet but i'll be keeping an eye out for it.
First I thought to buy the Google one, but it just to small, and I need 2, for nexus 5 & 7, then I thought, why not to kill 2 rabbits, with 1 bullet, and buy a dual charger, the ZENS looks good, and big, so tablet not look out of place, any other recommendations?
Heard lost of good things about this one, the only con, is devices with slick backs can slip off, easy fixed with a wedge.
http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Qi-...harger/dp/B0041RRORA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
...I know, sold out, it's sold out on newegg too, but to me that says something about if it's good or not.
