Anyone know how the Qi charger knows its connected to the official wall adapter? Tried plugging it to my car charger and my Galaxy Note charger but wont start charging either way.
I wondered the same, mine will also only work with the supplied charger. Perhaps it's the amp output. Will be getting the new Asus QI charger delivered soon, will let you know if that is as fussy.

well, i gave up on it and returned the official qi charger. will look for aftermarket options.
how many amps does your car charger have? My aftermarket Qi only works with 1.2A and up.

Hi all,
Noticed that my power monkey doesn't charge my nexus anymore.
Is this to do with needing more oomph so to speak?
Cheers

Same issue. I've emailed PowerMonkey support - it's a bit puzzling because the USB spec only calls for 5V and 900mA and the powermonkey classic is rated to output up to 5.5V and 1.2A.
Is your powermonkey charger also the classic version?
Yes, it's the classic version.
They've now suggested using the female usb tip and the normal usb cable to see if that works. Will try it later but I know the micro usb tip isn't faulty as it works on other mobiles.

Anyone know of a decent ac charger that works with the nexus? I have like 5 micro usb chargers from various old phones, but only one or two work with the nexus.
I used the one that came with the phone

I use the one that came with my Nexus One. It's 5W charger, like the Samsung wall wart, but has a cable that's a foot or so longer. I keep the Samsung at the girlfriend's. At work I use a 5V/.85a motorola that I found lying around.
Any brand name charger will work fine. Off brands...well...you get what you pay for sometimes.
Idk if itll help, but I have an HP Touchpad in the house, and the "barrel" like wall adapter and a random micro-USB charge with "AC" power as shown by the nexus.
tl;dr buy an HP touchpad charger on the cheap.

Im looking for a dock/charger that will charge my phone plus a spare battery including thicker extended batteries like my hyperion 4200.It would also be awesome if I could charge my phone with a case on it. I dont want a charger that will charge any slower than the stock charger. Can anyone recommend a dock ?
Griffin 2A chargers!

Thats a dock? where can i find it?
Unless you also root and install a kernel with a "fast charge" option, a 2amp charger will do you no good; it will charge just as fast as the stock 1amp charger.
I bought a 4 port charger by Skiva. It's a little expensive but it works really well. It's a 4A charger.

There was an article a while back by android central that the blackberry playbook charger will charge an android phone faster than the stock android charger. But it's not a dual charger.

Hello,
I picked up a Samsung oem charger from eBay and noticed it differs in output amps in comparison to the wall charger that came with the phone. The charger bundled with the phone is rated at 1 amp, but the one I just bought is rated at .7 amp.
Is it okay to charge the phone with the .7 amp charger? I'm afraid the phone will think it is 1 amp and miss calculate the charge of the battery. I don't know if this is something to worry about or not so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
Phone: Galaxy S3 SGH-t999
ROM: CM10 Stable
Charger Model Numbers
1 amp = ETA0U61JBE
.7 amp = ETA0U60JBE
It should work just fine. May take slightly longer to charge though.

I have a .7 amp plugged in next to my bed for overnight charges and it works just fine. It won't charge my tab2 to 100% though.

Will it really be that much longer in comparison to charging via USB? :cyclops:
Edit: USB via PC
Usb via pc is .5 amps
If it makes you feel any better I just received the OEM dock and it came with a 700mA charger not 1A. I agree that it won't charge as fast as a 1A charger but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.
It'll probably take 30% longer to fully charge with a .7 vs a 1amp

Quick charge mode and older ac-wall chargers
The store owner of where I bought my phone advised against using anything other than the charger that came with the phone. Mine is a Galaxy S4. Supposedly this came down from on high from Samsung. Supposedly, the phone does not differenciate between chargers and will try to pull max amperage when the wiring configuration matches a wall charger (looped data lines?).
For example, I have an old Galaxy S1 charger rated for 0.7 amps and my indicator app shows my phone pulling 1.9 amps through it when the cable is straight as can be. So far, I have not found this charger to become hot and there may be a possibilty of it catching fire since it is not designed for 2.1 amps that the phone is capable of pulling.
Someone I know used a car DC to USB adapter that was rated for under what the phone could pull and in short time the adapter itself either caught on fire or melted. Somewhere in between.
The phone will pull as much as it tests that the power chain can deliver and that is whether or not that power chain can safely deliver it. Proceed with caution.
So my friend gave me his old Powermat, (pre duracell) with the two charging stations. Tried for about 10 minutes to get it to charge, but no luck. The charger claims it is Qi standard. My nexus charges great with the official charger and with a knockoff as well.
Any ideas/experiences?

This one.
Don't see in the link where it's qi compatible
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Those aren't Duracell, Powermat is the name of the company. Their products aren't Qi compatible, you need a receiver to use it. That's why they're going so cheap on ebay.
Powermat uses different technology, so it is never compatible with Qi.
What the others have said, powermat isn't qi compatible. That's why it doesn't work.
