The one I got barely charges the phone, it charges really really slow, any of you guys know of a good brand?
also looking for a good efficient wireless charger what do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.
I use the tmobile universal charger w/ extra USB port. Charges great even while using it. http://m.ebay.com/itm/151153813473

Been using this one for a couple years, dual 1 amp ports and it's very low profile. Sticks out of the power socket just a few millimeters. Charges as fast as most standard USB chargers.

Edit: Some of the reviews are claiming that's a counterfeit one, and it could be considering it's a fraction of the price. But the actual Griffin one is the one I have and it's been working great for me for at least 2 years.
Thank you guys, I'm thinking of going with the griffin charger.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you guys knew of a good replacement for the samsung wall charger. I lost mine and I want to get a replacement wall charger that pumps out at 1A or whatever the original one was. Thanks for the help guys!
I'd stick with the Samsung original, it charges so fast! In less than two hours back to full battery, I've substituted using other chargers that comes with other phones at work and it's definitely slower

Here's the extra one I ordered, works just as good as the one that came with my phone, they seem to be identical

I like to use motorola's chargers, you can find them on amazon: "Motorola micro USB charger". They're more or less identical to the samsung ones besides the more rectangular form factor. I also recommend the motorola car charger if you're in the market for that. Both are quick charge and fill a dead battery in 1-2 hours.
So which car charger do you guys recommend for the S3 that has AC charging enabled?

rapid charger at up to 1A. best car charger on the market, especially for the price.
Does anyone know where to get a USB coil cord that would fit into this?
Personally I have the wireless charging mod done and in my car use a Palm Pre Touchstone as a charger. It looks incredibly good and clean.
It is NOT the fastest charger however (only about 500mah charge rate).
If you want the fastest charging, I would get one of the ipad car chargers. 2.1 amps of charge power will more than juice your phone.
Personally, I recommend the Griffin one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GRIFFIN-POW...ccessories&hash=item3a779d867b#ht_2277wt_1166
You may be able to find it cheaper somewhere.
I've read in a few places that rapid charging isn't good for our batteries. Any truth to that?
The phone will only take 1 amp regardless of the charger being 2 amps. Buy a well built one and you'll be fine, they all charge the same provided they are 1 amp.

Walgreen's $5 5v 1A usb. Compact and charges like a boss. I've used it for about 3 weeks and I don't have any issues with it. It doesn't heat up my phone at all.

no such thing a rapid charging as the phone draws what it needs.. by "rapid" it just means it supports up to 1A charge rates..
and, i accidentally thanked your post..

+1 for this, I've been using this for ALL of my Android phones.
A lot of people seem to recommend that Motorola charger in these forums for various devices. I think I'm going to order one.
The Moto car charger has decent reviews on Amazon.
There any others recommendations of car chargers ?
Be careful. Bought a cheap one and found it sent dirty power that introduced noise into the audio out on my car dock.
I cant find the link but there is a 3 amp chager in the tmobile store its expensive but worth it.. a 15 minute drive gave me a 23% boost

I bought that bad boy. The build quality is awesome. You can twist off the cap and replace the fuse if it's blown. Unlike some other chargers you have to pry it out and possibly break it. This one can charge up to 3.1 amp on one usb port for tablets and 1.0 amp on the other port cell phones. Yes by default my phone was charging in AC mode with my sam captivate. Then i decided to modify it from one of users tip on there for permanent AC charging. No issues so far.
I just ordered a Griffin PowerJolt. I hope I get one of the newer ones that work with ac mode.
I use the USB port in my deck.

I just got one of the low profile Griffin Powerjolts .... I haven't used it for a full charge yet, but it appears to work ok so far.
What is the AC mode you are speaking of?
I don't recall the exact part number, but its the oem HTC kit I got for my One S prior to trading it in. Nothing fancy, but high quality and power, and the S3 doesn't seem to be picky.

How do you stop the deck from trying to index the whole phone? That is the problem I've had when trying that in the past. Is their a setting somewhere, or a cable mod that allows charging but no data?
I use the I-GO, bought it at Radio Shack in I think 2004, been able to charge any phone I've had since then all you have to do is buy the little adapter for each phone, just got one for my GSII for 7 bucks after changing from an IPhone.
Using the t mobile branded mini usb chadger that i got with moto razr. I added a mini to micro usb adapter.

Scosche reVIVE II. It has 2 ports, 1amp and 2.1amp. I usually use the 2.1 amp port and it works great.

I was using some cheap usb charger but it was going loose all the time so I purchased Scosche Powerfuze.
It is a bit expensive but top notch product.

Some cheapo usb adapters do not charge at full power. They charge as if they are plugged into a computer (500ma)
It is because the factory forgets to short the datapins.

When I plug my phone in its charge only. Only when I go to "USB mode" dose it index the phone.

I did a lot of research and came up with the following. Been using it for a week now and it charges fast. I did short out the two center usb pins. This is a true 3.1 amp charger. It does not split the power to charge two devices like most 2 amp chargers do. One plug is 1 amp and the other is 2.1 amp.

So no matter where I look, I cannot find good chargers for my GN2. Here I was thinking that I'd be able to use my 10+ white brick crapple charging blocks at 1A and here my awesome GN2 uses a 2A.
Now I understand that Apple swayed away from yet another standard and the pins need to be shorted in almost all car chargers in order for anything other than an apple device to accept an AC charge. Awesome.
I'm very happy that this huge battery needs a 2A charger but I'm back at square one. I need chargers... I need a lot. Please somebody point me in the right direction on what every android peep is doing to charge their phones on fast chargers... I am mostly in need of a car charger. Every forum I look at, the thread ends with no definitive answer...
Much thanks.

This is the charger that I use for my car charging needs. Ive had it for a couple if years and it has worked flawlessly. It also has an extra usb port for charging a 2nd device. I havent had any quality issues with mine like some of the reviewers have claimed. This works brilliantly with my Note 2. It can output up to 4 amps and charges 2 Note 2's with max screen brightness and GPS with no problem.

Hi. Can you guys please tell me which charger you are saying. And which is the best charger for nexus 5 which takes less time to charge up the battery. I recently lost my stock charger and the other chargers I have are taking much longer time to charge the phone they are like 500mAh chargers so its taking long time. Can you guys pleas suggest me the charger.
Check another post in this sub forum. It has links to the BlackBerry playbook chargers, which are awesome and cheap.
The HP 2.1 amp charger is the best charger

I second this - bought a bunch of these chargers to use everywhere.
I'd go with the blackberry folding blade chargers.
There's a review thread someone did. Lots of people here have it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/hands-best-fastest-cheapest-nexus-5-t2729066
It's also so much cheaper than the HP touchpad charger. On amazon you can get anywhere from 4 - 8 chargers for the price of 1 HP.
Just use a USB cable with a MicroUSB port at one end. You always have a computer next to you.

OP was looking for something that can charge faster than 500mA which USB charging is limited to. At that speed it can take 4+ hours to charge the phone vs 2.5 hours with stock, and 2 hours with a 2.1A unit.
My GF got an LG G2 at roughly the same time I got my phone.
I've tried charging my phone with a wide variety of chargers, including the ipad 4 charger, as well as other 2.4A heavy duty chargers from other companies. I dont know why, but NOTHING is as fast as that stock G2 charger. It beats the "heavy duty" voltage stuff by a noticeable margin.
It does a proper quick charge on her G2, and while I've read that the nexus 5 doesnt really support that quick charge, it DEFINITELY does something.
It looks like this: http://www.lg.com/us/images/cell-phone-accessories/wcp-300/gallery/medium05.jpg
I am not sure if you will get the folding blade charger in India. You can buy the CP AD2 charger. One of my friend bought it and the Nexus 5 is charging at around 1300-1400 mAh. You will get it in Amazon for 550 rupees.
