Does anyone else's charger make a buzzing sound?

I tried my charger for the first time last night and as soon as I plugged it in, it immediately began getting quite warm and emitted quite the loud buzzing sound.
Is there any way I can get my charger replaced without having to return the whole tablet?

Some chargers buzz once its fully charged. Don't know why but its annoying.
My iPod chargers don't do this. Neither do most of my chargers. I am using a white Chinese cheapo that is buzzing. I haven't used the official charger because I keep the accessories wrapped up in new condition since its easier to sell that way.
Could just be a cheap charger or defective. Easier to just pick up another one from somewhere. At my house I have multiple devices using the OG Nexus 7 2.1A charger.

I just used my iPhone 4s charger instead, it was 5amps, the one that came with my 2013 N7 is 5.2 so I hope it was ok.

that's just peak charging current, you'll be fine

Assurion hooked me up!!!! I'm happy and rambling, so it's a long read! Lol

So I file a claim, pay the $200, and they sent me a replacement. It had a mark on the top right chrome trim ring, but I was just gonna deal with it as it was really tiny, even though I'm super picky about my devices. After I put my UAG case on it though, I noticed that the case didn't fit just right, and there was a gap in between the glass and the chrome trim. Also, the charger they sent was black instead of white. Most importantly though it was just 1 piece, with no usb to micro usb cable, and also rated at only 0.7A output. So I called them up, told them about my issues, and a replacement of both was being sent.
I received the replacements and the phone looked perfect. The charger was 2 piece this time, but still only rated at 0.7A output, and black again. So I'm on the phone with Sprint getting it activated, but I'm not getting an LTE signal, and I always get an awesome LTE signal at my house(36mbps download and 15mbps upload)!! The Sprint rep keeps trying to resend the data signal, and reset that signal, or whatever it is they do. After about 20 minutes of her trying everything she could, she noted my account that the device was faulty. I also told her about the charger only being 0.7A an she told me not to use it, an if I did then Assurion would be sending me another replacement before long. She said that they've had multiple S3's overheat and catch fire because the phone is trying to pull 2A from a charger that's not capable of 2A, and it's causing problems. Not saying that this is true, it's just what the Sprint rep told me.
So I called Assurion AGAIN an told them about the ongoing problems I've had and what Sprint had just told me. The rep transferred me to a manager, he apologized, and said that they would send me a new Note 2 since I've kept having ongoing problems with their refurbished units! He also said that I could keep any accessories that I wanted because all they need back is the phone itself! The next morning FedEx pulled up with my package, I open it up and sure enough I have a new Note 2 in an unopened box!!! I was really surprised that they actually did send me a new device in the box, just like I had just bought it off that shelf!!!
So I now have a new Note 2 with a numbers matching box, 3 batteries, 3 battery doors, and 3 S-Pens!! Having a numbers matching box and a device that will only be 3 or 4 months when the Note 3 comes to Sprint, should definitely bring top dollar when I go to sell it!! Not to mention having extra batteries, battery doors, S-Pens, chargers, official Samsung TPU case and flip cover, other name brand cases, etc.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my good luck that I had with Assurion! Makes me feel better about paying for insurance for so many years and never filing a claim before! Assurion surprised me and definitely hooked me up this time!!! Now I'm glad I had issues with the first 2 replacements because it definitely paid off in the end!! I'm one happy guy!!!! Big props to Assurion!!!

Awesome, I love a success story!..........

I'm surprised they sent you a charger in the first place. Asurion usually only sends the phone.
What happened to your original phone?

I reported my device lost, and my charger was also in the little bag my phone was in. Assurion had to send me a charger along with the phone, otherwise I wouldn't be able to charge the phone. Well, I guess I could have used another micro usb charger that I have because I have a LOT. Don't think any of my others are rated at 2A output though. I have plenty of HTC chargers and I know they're only 1A. I'll have to check the charger that came with my 2013 N7 FHD. I would think that it's more than just 1A, but it might not be. Oh, speaking of tablets, it just hit me that my Asus Infinity wall charger is 2.1A, I believe. I'll check both of them and edit this post once I find out. Doesn't matter now since I have a new 2A Samsung wall charger, but just in case anyone was wondering what the output of those chargers are. Now I'm curious myself to see what they both are!

Panasonic QE-TM101-K Black Qi Wireless Charger Pad Not Working With Nexus 5

Just thought I would mention that the Panasonic QE-TM101-K Black Qi Wireless Charger Pad does not work with the Nexus 5. Originally got it for the Nexus 4 back in March, hoped it would work with the N5.

Works for me. It turns on, the charger coil moves and the phone makes a sound and it's charging.

I think your using it wrong snoman

Just tried it right now, and you all right. Not sure what happened yesterday when I first tried it.

I have to add that this device allows for trickle charging on the nexus 5. It would not trickle charge on my nexus 4. Many of the reviews on amazon and else where online indicate that it cannot trickle charge, but this is actually further from the truth.

mine is working fine, just tried it today on the JDM QE-TM101-K
Nexus 5 w/ original quick view case. charges fine.

i am interested in this charger. what is this trickle charging? it keeps the phone at 100% right? i read that keeping the phone at 100% can lower the lifetime of the battery. is this true?

Mine is working fine with cases.
I have sgp neo hybrid, caseology, poetic bumper cases.
With any case, it working flawlessly. Cool gadget..

I got mine a few years back from ebay straight from japan I know it's genuine, if it's from china I wouldn't trust it.
cost around 60 bucks back then. still a deal for an awesome charger works fine with my nexus 5 with Quick Cover case, and nexus 7 2013 using a roocase.

Great QI wireless charger check it out...

the link doesn't work, the brand is not mentioned, neither the model... Bad post man

fixed link - http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot%C2%AE-Inductive-Compatible-Including-Smartphones/dp/B00F6SPYJS

Bought this when it was on sale for like $14.99 by the same primo-superstore guys. Great qi charger. It does BEEP when you first put the phone on but doesn't keep BEEPING once the phone is fully charged like some others.
Very low noise beep tho', so not really a big deal. There's also a tiny LED light on the front of the charger for indication. It did not come with an AC adapter so you'll have to supply one. But it did came with a long and a short micro USB cable. I suppose one is for connecting to a wall charger and the other one for your computer. It does charge just phone if you hook it up to the computer USB port, although much slower.
Best $15 buck I spent all year.

Bought the same or similar one from FastTech and am waiting for it to come in. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Does it keep the Nexus 5 at 100% when you charge it overnight or does it completely stop charging once it reaches 100%. Does the phone/battery get hot when using this charger?

Ya it works with my digitronic case no problem and the beep actually really helps letting you know its charging. Ya I know there is no brand and sorry for the bad link but I have both the official nexus charger and this one seems way better I can just set it down hear the beep and its good to go where the nexus charger I always have to double check the placement when I put it down.

What happens when the phone reaches 100% and you leave it on the charger (As would happen when you're charging it overnight). Does the charge remain at 100%?

Yes it remains at 100% and does not beep all night like other ones it has been working great so far. I read a lot of people having trouble with these types of chargers they would charge then it gos to 99% then back to full and beeps on a cycle all night long but I have not experienced that with this charger. I don't know if this one on amazon is different then other ones sold on eBay they all look the same but so far the one from amazon is good. I'm almost thinking about returning the nexus charger to Google because I don't use it anymore.

I bought one too and I like it a lot. I can charge my nexus 5 (via Qi), Nexus 7 FHD (USB, 2.1A) and Dell Venue 8 pro (usb, 1A) simultaneously while charging the internal battery.

Just ordered one. It says 17-28 days, which is a while, but I'm not in a hurry

Does it have the magnets though that the nexus charger has? That's really why I wanted to buy the nexus one.

I got this last week. I used velcro to stick it to my car mount. I had to remove the rubber rings from the top and bottom to make this work.
It does not have magnets. The magnets in the official charger set it apart from most other Qi chargers.
It works well with my Dizitronic TPU case

FYI - Here's the Fasttech model. I can confirm that this works with both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. Fast charging, and no beeping all night. For those people having trouble with beeping, try being more precise with placement... I find on the Nexus 4, that if I put the charger dead center on the body of the phone, it will beep continuously. If I offset the charger about 1/2" towards the micro-USB port on the phone, the beeping stops and it charges perfectly. The Nexus 5 seems less picky about placement, the sweet spot seems to be quite large in comparison.
Anyway, here it is: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10006012/1462103-t200-qi-wireless-charging-plate
I bought two, and really need to buy about five more. They're awesome.
Oh, and to answer someone else's question, no magnets for the N5... but flat on a desk and with the large sweet spot, it doesn't seem to matter.

I have this one too. It's worked well for me as a magnetic car dock (had to add the magnets). I hated the Beep sound whenever it became misaligned so I popped it open and found the speaker.
It's the tall black thing in the middle-left of the attached image. If you pop off the top plastic lid of that little black thing you can remove the little metal circle that sits inside it and it stops the beeping. If that's an issue for anyone else...

Hi. I bought the same and works well. I think the bip sound is a good thing because sometimes the position from the phone is incorrect. In this case no bip

Bargain at only $8.49.
Expecting it to be functionally the same as my "puck" charger, so will need a larger PSU (I use 1.2A) to solve the problem of not keeping the phone topped up after its fully charged
Great value for a second charger for use at work

Could you advise which magnets to use and where to place? Mini tutorial probably would help a few of us

There's already several tutorials on how to do it. But I bought these from Amazon and they work great. Needs non-slip grip though so I used one of those silicon Smartgrip dash mats I bought at the container store on top of the magnets. Works great. Here's the tutorial I used though. And a picture of my charger now.

[Q] Nexus 5 ruining Micro USB Cables?

I'm not sure if it's just me or that I'm just buying cheap cables but my Nexus 5 basically eats Micro USB Cables in terms of a loose connection between the connector and port. My 2 Amp Blackberry charger only lasted about 2 months (I was recommended by someone who says it was the fastest charger for Nexus 5) and now only works when at a slight angle. I just bought a JuiceBitz Premium Cable (Can't post links but Amazon has them) and within two weeks just destroyed the connector. I never had this problem with any other phone, just wondered if it's a Nexus 5 problem...

I've had the exact same issue.

Same problem here.

Its been almost one and half year for me using the stock usb cable. It still works fine for me, no issue at all. But in last few months, i am feeling that its getting lose in the port, still no trouble, but i think it wont be same for the next 3-4 months.
Still, almost 2 years, I wont say that's bad.

I've had the Nexus 5 since it's release and the blackberry 2amp charger as well. I have 4 of them because I thought they would wear and tear like all other chargers, but it didn't. Still on my original first blackberry charger and it looks new still. It's a user problem not a phone problem.

Just died out last night. Spoke too soon lol. Going to place an order on this tonight the anker charger and anker cables pack. Does anyone suggest a better charger? I'm going to stick to detachable cables so I don't have to replace my whole charger every time the cables fail.
