Car Charger

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the output is for the standard Xda II Car charger in Volts and Amps?
I know the UK mains charger is 5V at 2A and was wondering if the car charger is the same.
Thanks for your help.

USB data/charging cable

Does anyone know of a good (doesn't have to be OEM) data/charging cable that will work with the 10.1 tab? I saw a few non-OEM ones on Amazon but the reviews say they don't work (one person says it won't charge, another says it charges but won't do data). I guess I'm willing to pay for an OEM cable if someone can tell me which ones are compatible with the 10.1. Samsung live chat says they can't provide this info because the device is not officially released yet. Didn't seem like they were simply dumb or unwilling, just that support folks don't have the info/training/specs yet.

The 10.1v seems to need at least 2A output to charge and the only 2A output charger mains to USB adaptor I have is the one that came with it.
Some in Australia have tested the standard cable with third party 2A output chargers with no luck. Others say that their Samsung branded chargers from the original Galaxy Tab work fine.
I bought a 75cm retractable third party cable (labelled as working for the original Galaxy Tab) and it works for both data and charging on my 10.1v. I'm going to try my luck and buy a 3m third party cable as the 1m one provided by Samsung is simply too short to be practical for me.
Oh and the 10.1v, like the iPad (and original Galaxy Tab), will not charge over USB from most PCs.

They do charge from powered USB (1amp) just veeeery sloooowly
From a non-powered (500 milliamp) usb port, you're probably draining it quicker than it is charging
The original Galaxy Tab was also 2amp

I wonder if you'd want the USB Wall Charger 2.1A - Black. I can't tell from the description if the one you linked is only going to deliver .5A to the phone.
This Wall Charger has two USB A female ports, one on each side, and provides a total of 1A of charging power.

So if you only plug a cable into one side is it going to send the full 1A through that cable or is it only going to send .5A which would be a slower charge. The SG3 is listed in the description for the 2.1A charger.
Monoprice cables are great. I use them with my chargers. I don't have the premium ones though. I bought this one: 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable
I'd love to hear what other users have to say.

I bought the premium cable from monoprice, and it works great.

Why not get a genuine samsung charger? I had to get a new charger for my brother's phone (I9001) and did some research. You might find this useful.

[Q] in car charger

Has anyone found an incar charger that actually works? I have used the official lg cable with a cigarette lighter adapter and it simply says its slow charging with a usb charger. was using the satnav and it just constantly lost power instead of charging
cheers

I'm using this. You might need to condition your phone for it though so it can charge as quick as the stock LG wall charger.

I find the problem usually to be more about the cable then the charger. Most car chargers claim to be 2.1a these days, but often the cable just can't keep up. The one I ordered is no longer in stock, but it's similar to this one:
ok, the system won't let me post links.. search amazon for 20awg usb charge cable

Cheers guys, I'll take a look

I use the iOttie Easy Flex wireless charging car mount. Best $40 ever spent on a car charger

I use Anker IQ 2 port 24W car charger. Main problem with charging LG G3 is usually bad cable quality. Use good cable and you'll always charge successfully.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app

Even if I've used my original g3 cable with an in car adapter it didn't charge. Anyway, I got one off eBay whilst waiting for options above and so far it's working great.

Most in-car chargers are delivering 1A output, LG wall charger for G3 is 5V 1.8A. I use an in-car charger with both 1A and 2A outputs (twin), the latter, 2A connection, does its job well (which actually is for charging tablets like iPad in car). Shortly, if you want to get an effect like in LG wall-charger case you should care on the output current of charger.

What charger to pick?

Hi i recentl bought Xiaomi mi note 3 and it came with wall charger by xiaomi(3A charger)
My phone supports quickcharge 3.
The problem is that the charger came is chinese's socket and i live in european country.
I have a charger from my previous phone which is 2A but some guys suggested me to pick the right charger.
Now my question is..
Should i pick a generic charger(i found a Qualcomm charger on ebay for about 3,5 euros) or an adapter?
I looked for adapters(because some guys told me that Qualcomm chargers are not good at all) but i don't know what to pick.
All adapters seem the same.
Any help is appreciated
