I have to daily charge by note 2 and tablet, I do really want to plug 2 wall adapters into the outlet. Is there a USB hub that I can plug into an outlet that splits into a multi usb hub port that I can plug the USB charging cables into (must output enough current to actually charge the device because I know if I plug my tablet into my laptop I get a X saying battery isn't charging) or is there some sort of cable I can buy that splits into 2?

You could always go this direction...
Anker® 25W 5-Port Family-Sized Desktop USB Charger
Or similar, as long as it has 2A output you should be okay.

that's a bit of a con.
Have a look on eBay. There is bound to be something similar and much cheaper there.
Hubs provide 500mA per port, higher currents would interfere with data signals.
There are a couple of chargers with two 2A ports, mine offers 2x1A or 1x2A, which is getting somehow inconvenient.

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.

Can I use my old charger from my Original Droid to charger my new Galaxy Nexus?
The old charger is the kind that has the USB plugged into the part that goes into the wall socket. and has the standard mini USB, same as the charger that came with the GN. Was just wonder if the voltage would be different?
thanks for any help. Wanted an extra charger at work.
Should work no problem
Has anyone seen John Connor?
Should work. And it's micro usb for future reference. Mini is too big.

Yea, micro
Check the output. Ideally, you want it to match that of the GNex charter, which is 5V and 1A

The voltage should match, but the ampere doesn't have to. In fact, it's better if it's bigger (only slightly though, otherwise the battery might overheat).

Does the voltage have to match? Do we need additional transformers for travelling between Europe and USA?

The Samsung Droid Charge "charger" here in the US works just fine and can be purchased on eBay for around $5. In fact I think it's the same charger they bundle for the Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus.

You will see that most of chargers these days support 110 - 240 V and 50 - 60 Hz, so they should work everywhere. All you'd need is an adapter, but no transformers.

But it does need to be a 5v power supply.

That was for the input voltages. The output from the charger should be 5 V.

I need a longer charging cord. The factory cords they send with these tabs are wayyyyy too short. 5 feet or so would be perfect. Any recommendations?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Longer cables can be found on amazon and ebay. Here is a link to one example.
http://www.amazon.com/KHOMO-Super-C...2J2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326674364&sr=8-1
I guess I should rephrase. What longer cables have you all used that will charge the tab while using it. Most of the extended USB cables have terrible reviews because they can't supply enough juice. I see the cellet cable has good reviews but no numbers tossed around as to what its output is.

I use a regular, generic (female / male) USB extender cable, connected to the stock Samsung one. Works perfectly.

Ditto, mines only a foot or two longer and it is more than enough distance for me.
Why do you need the extra long cable?
A regular extender cable works likea charm...
Dx.com has a lot of those

Buy a HP touchpad charger. Pumps out 2ams and will charge almost anything. And costs around $5 and includes a quality micro usb cable

Just bought an S3 without a charge and now I need to pick one up. Any suggestions for which one to get? OEM or aftermarket? Does the voltage matter or does the phone only allow 0.7A?

The transformer ( brick thing that plugs into the wall) has a Certain limit on the amount of amps that can run through it.
The more amps...more power. ... Faster charging.
I seen them go all the way up to 2 amps for car chargers.
90% sure the nexus 4 has a 1.2 amp limit in the stock wall charger.
I wouldn't recommend anything higher then 2 amps.
You might just be paying for false advertising or just have something dangerous.

I use several different ones
Personally I use the name branded ones but also have several chinese ones as well
Chinese 2.1amp I have several they seem to work
I would make sure to get at least a 1amp/1000ma cause they throttle, peak is actually 1amp so running flat out could be lower
I have several HTC branded chargers they work good (they are 1 amp) I see you sent your message from a Thunderbolt so I assume you have an HTC charger already
I use the charger from my htc incredible. GS3 charger and cable are still in the box. Htc charger works very well with the S3.

Yea I plan on using it for a while, but will probably end up selling the ThunderBolt. Probably just try and pick one up.

Anyone have any luck with the dual usb charging ports? Just got an android phone for work, so I was wanting to use only one charger (two cables obviously) to cut down on the stuff I have to carry around.

If it's a phone charger with Micro usb, it will have standard voltage.
Try to get a 2amp charger so that it has more than enough amps. Sometimes a 1amp charger will only feed .8amps or so. It's best to have more amps than needed especially for charging blocks that have dual usb output and if your charging 2 devices at the same time.
The S3 typically will draw as much as 1.13amps (during peak charge) with a wall charger that can provide that much. Certain Kernels and roms may cause this value to increase.
