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.

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

Charging the Galaxy note 2 - North American Users

I ordered the International Version of the SGN2 and it'll be here on Tuesday but I have an important question to ask. I watched several unboxings on YouTube and I could help but notice all of them came with the UK prongs for the AC adapter.
My question is how are the north american users charging their new Galaxy Note 2's?
Did you guys buy an adapter? Use a different charger? (If so would the nexus 7's charger work?)
Please advise...

You should be OK with almost any USB 5V charger rated at 1A or more, but a 2A charger, like the Nexus 7's, would be the quickest.

Dave

I'm glad you started this thread. This has been on my mind all morning. My GN2 should be here Monday. If anyone has a link to a good 2A charger please post.

I ordered from Negrielectronics so I doubt I'll be getting one. What did they give you? 2A?

My GN2 should be here Monday. If they didn't supply an adapter, I'm just going to run over to my local Radio Shack and pick up one of these.

Good find and smart thinking! I think I'll do the same

When you pre order from handtec they throw in a free adapter, and the note charges super fast like 10% to a 100% in 2 and a half hours.

Anyone in Canada (Toronto area in particular) know where to buy one of these?
I know they're on eBay but I can't find it on the source.ca
Any suggestions?

I have American Style adapters with converter prongs, and have been using it on 220v here in Korea. I've used it the other way as well. They all work no problem.

Just a fyi - I ordered through Techno Trading House on eBay. I was just informed that theirs includes a standard US charger.

AFAIK, the charging voltage on the Note II is the same 5V as all other phones, thus any USB charger should work. The only difference is in the current rating. A (tablet) charger rated for up to 2A will charge it faster, while others will be slower. Heck, you could use a 0.5A BT headset charger too! It will just take over 24 hours to fully charge the beast.
The current rating is the amount of current the device can supply safely. Its like a tap, the bigger the spout, the faster the water flow.

Actually my s2 charger (5v 0.7a) charges my note2 from 7% to 100% in 5 hours.
I'm considering keeping that charger for daily use as my note2 only charges during the night anyways while im sleeping and I think its more gentle on the battery to slow charge it. And I'll keep the 2A charger for emergencies.

Galaxy Nexus Spare Charge (Slow Charge)

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.

Charging with nexus 7 charger?

I was wondering if I'd be causing my phone any harm charging it with my nexus 7 charger? It seems to charge super slow with my Samsung charger and my nexus charger can have my phone charged up under 2 hrs. It's insanely fast so just looking to be cautious with my phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
I have a Nexus 7, too. The chargers have the same output, so you should be able to use them interchangeably. They should also charge in the same amount of time, so it makes me think something is wrong with your Samsung charger.
How much longer does it take with your Samsung charger?
That's strange, both chargers take the same amount of time to charge for me...

The Samsung Galaxy S4 charger is quite better than the Note 2 charger as they say.

I don't know the amperage of chargers, if it is different, it will affect battery life

If it takes over an hour to gain 10% battery life thats usually a pretty good sign to use a different charger. Found that out the hard way when i lost the charger that came with my Note 2.
