Fascinate wall charger WILL charge the GT 10.1

Interesting to me, though maybe already known:
I could not find my GT10.1 wall charger the other day, so on a whim I tried my Fascinate's wall charger (with GT 10.1 cable). This wall charger seemed to charge the GT 10.1 with no issue.

$0.43 + $3.48 shipping on Amazon - pretty cheap way to get a back-up to stick in my backpack.

As should any USB type charger. My iPhone charger and my Jawbone Icon headset charger worked as well but takes longer to charge due to the lower current rating.

Agree with MisterEdF.
I have the same plug with my Nexus S and my Epic. Both WILL charge but it's slow as hell and there's definitely the Red X letting me know that it's not the 5v2a charger the tab would like to see. Can't see why the Fascinate charger would be any different...

I believe that is a .5a charger and our tabs come with a 2a. The most it really can do is slow the battery drain. It'll take at least 4x the amount of time to charge.

I dunno. Over a ~couple hour period the battery went from 24% to ~50%. Not as fast as the stock charger, but certainly not zero.

It will slow the drain if you are using it but if you simply want to charge it over night it should be fine in a pinch.

And so will the B&N Nook Color charger. Essentially, any one will work but the standard, lower capacity ones might take forever to charge. The Nook Color charger provides ~1.9A @ 5 Vdc in place of the more standard sub-1 Amp chargers.

Nexus Wall Charger?

Since the Verizon Nexus is out, is anyone not going to be using the supplied wall plug charger adapter because they have something else/better ? I bought mine from the UK and it came with this behemoth sized "international" adapter that makes weird noises when it rapes/charges my battery :x
if any1 has a charger they dont really want, id be willing to throw in a few bucks for it :] plus shipping of course

As far as I know (and please correct me if I'm wrong) you can use any Android charger with micro USB. In fact, I used my OG Droid car charger on the way home and have it plugged into the Droid wall charger as I type this. It's working just fine.
So if you have a charger from an old Android phone, try it out.
p.s.
I would refrain from using that euro charger. You might fry your battery. Happened to a friend of mine from Australia earlier this year when he first moved here and didn't have a US phone.

I actually don't. I sold/returned all my old phones along with their adapters. I bought a $25 charger but its not "compatible" with my phone so, instead of charging at its usual 1amp, it only does 5mAh

Here's a link to a wall charger from Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Trave...E70I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323972023&sr=8-1
$3.12.. looks like the same charger from Galaxy S1 and Nexus S.
Comparing the USB from Nexus S & Galaxy Nexus.. the Nexus S has a longer USB cable.

I'm interested in this as well. I'd like to identify another charger that can charge at full speed so I can replace that bulky U.K. charger.

Should be .7amp, the proper voltage for this phone.

Can't be that bad.

The iPhone's wall charger works fine, it's almost identical to Samsung's but it's white.
Same amprage and everything

Anker 2700mah batteries

Awesome batteries and long life and quality...
If you're looking for an OEM type battery with long life and quality... These are the ones.
They come with a 60% charge, I fully charged them and off first charge I got around a 7 hour cycle.. And after a few charging cycles.. With supplied charger I'm getting well over 10 hours worth moderate use.
I no longer charge through USB because of the heat generated. the supplied charger has both USB ports so you can either charge from the wall or USB. It charges to or from USB depending on which end of the USB cord you use.(I.e you can hook the wall charger to your computer/laptop USB port and charge spare battery or plug into wall and charge your phone and spare at the same time)

I needed to replace mine too and bought the 2700 Anker.
I love it.

I'm on my second Anker 2700mAh in 3 years and can highly recommend them - quality product (as seen in the packaging alone). I got mine through Amazon in the UK, but supplied direct from Anker at £16.99:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker®-2700mAh-Battery-Samsung-GT-N7000/dp/B006BIF7AI
128 5 star reviews speaks for itself. :good:

I have an Anker 2700 for my Note. I also have year 2012 and a 2013 original Samsung batteries, and one that came with a 3rd party dock claiming to be 3000mAH and branded Mbuynow. For a couple of months I saved the BetterBatteryStats logs each time I changed the battery (I charged in a battery charger, not in the phone). If I hadn't named each log it would be impossible to identify which is which. The cheap/freebie Mbuynow battery performs as well in use but doesn't hold a charge as well as the others when stored, so I don't expect it has a decent life expectancy.
There is no advantage in using the Anker 2700 over the stock Samsung 2500, and a genuine Samsung item can be found for £12. The one advantage the Anker has is that you probably won't accidentally buy a fake Anker but you can easily get a fake Samsung if you're one of those people who kids themselves that the ebay/marketplace seller is offering the real deal at £5 or £8.

[Q] Good & cheap 2A car charger

Hello guys, i'm searchin for a good 2a car charger for my nexus 5... do you know one?

anyone?

Currently looking at this: 5v 2.1a XTar USB Car Adapter
However, It's still in the shipment process. Will be receiving it in a week.
I trust these guys, personally. They make amazing chargers for batteries I use on a daily basis.
Hate to do this to you, but If I don't reply back within a 2 weeks, that means it turned out perfectly.
Personally, I think it's going to be great.

The absolute best charger you could get for ANY phone is the BlackBerry charger... Powerful, cheap, durable, reliable...

I'd suggest the Anker car charger.

Motorola 2amp car charger is a great charger. I found it on ebay almost 2 years ago for about 6$ and it's still going strong

I'm currently using a Samsung charger, it's around $12 here in Sweden.

A two amp charger won't make a difference, Qualcomm Quick Charge units make a huge difference, however.

so is Nexus 5 a quick Charge unit?

There IS a blackberry car charger. I currently own one a d used to get near 1.6A on it. I've never gotten close to 2A even with the highly acclaimed 2A BlackBerry wall charger but the 1.6A was good enough for the n5.
Model no on mine is ACC-48181-001

[Q] Is the Samsung Quick charger working with M9?

The only available quick charger we have in my country is the Samsung Quick charger, so I want to know if I get one or order another brand from Amazon?

Nice to hear
I will get one from my usual shop, and a car quick charger from amazon

I'm using my gs3 cables with my qc2.0 car charger and my nexus 6 charger working great so far

I purchased a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger from a seller on eBay, who advertised it was compatible with the M9. I tried it with 3 different outlets, and it charges painfully slowly at about 10% per hour. I thought it should work, because I have an Aukey quick charger for the car that works quite well. It charges at about 1% per minute, which is pretty good for a USB car charger.
On a side note, the seller offered me an exchange or refund within minutes of emailing them about the issue.
