So how do we get the quick charge to work? I read the gr8 is capable we just need an adapter. Do they mean a quick charge charger?

To my knowledge. Yes. Quick charge 2.0 wall or car charger. Charges 75% faster than normal.

Any car chargers that anyone could point me to that charges as fast as a wall charger?
As it is right now, unless I have my screen off and no apps running it drains faster than the charger can put juice into it...
I'm just using an el-cheap-o aftermarket car charger.
Thanks!

What I use is a cig to usb plug (cost me 10 bucks at walmart). Then I bring the cord from home that came with my phone and plug that into the USB to cig thingy. Works like a charm, I haven't noticed it charging slower than when at home.

i bought one from t-mobile... its about $29 but its worth the price. I get charge speeds btw 850ma and 950ma when on idle
i have the oem cig to usb charger from Samsung i purchased it at best buy with a gift card lol, when i first got my galaxy tablet.
Just get any standard microusb charger rated at 1a (or 1000mAh ). I'm betting your elcheapo is .5a (500mAh).

I finally got around to ordering that Motorola charger on Amazon - works just how I wanted it to - thanks so much!
our device requires an official samsung charger to charge at full ac speed. there was an article on the xda front page last week about how to mod your charger to be recognized as official.

All I know is that now I can run my GPS with the screen on and still move UP in battery - before it would drain faster than the car charger would charge, so, I'm happy with what I have now.
Actually the problem is that some of the car chargers are not at 1amp output but less .75 or .85. Thats why your not really seeing an increase. The stock charger is at 1amp. I know AllGamer likes to use the Blackberry ones (which i believe are 1.5amps) Correct me if im wrong AllGamer.
So just look for 1 amp car chargers the cable doesnt matter itll hold whatever you attach it to.
So, no matter wht brand charger you have as long as you connect the two middle pins you will get full charge as long as the charger can put out 1000ma?
I really need a good charger for the car, right now i use a blackberry charger at work an it charges pretty fast. But i need to know how do i find the currect charge rate of a charger. Is there an app for that?
Get tmobiles car charger. Its faster than any others I've tried.

As I remember those chargers needed the center pins shorted to be recognized as AC.

This charger doesn't keep up. I have one. It will still drain faster than it charges if you're running a GPS app with the screen on.
Does anyone have an experience with this charger from MONOPRICE
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p..._id=1082603&p_id=8858&seq=1&format=4#feedback
I need a great car charger and really dont want to spend to much money on it. Furthermore, if I am getting a 1+amp charger, as long as i am using the stock samsung charging cable then it shouldnt matter if the charger itself has D- and D+ shorted right?
Im assuming this is something standard on all usb CHARGING cables as appose to data cables.?

You want a good reliable charger at eBay pricing..... spend the money 1 time and be done with it. You could've already gotten the T-Mobile one and been done with it.

For those of you buying the USB 12V Cigarette adapters read this.
Basically if you use a data sync cord with one of those adapters, unless it shorts the 2 data pins together internally (probably not) the phone is going to think it's plugged into a computer and only charge at 500ma (max output for a computer USB port). The write up above explains to short the 2 data cables together (this is done internally with the main AC charger head) back towards the phone so it will charge at 1amp instead of 500ma.
You can buy this cable and just modify it as described. I bought this USB adapter so I could charge 2 things at once.
Let me get this clear.
All i need to look for when it is charging is AC mode. As long as it says that, it doesnt matter what i have or have not done to the cables, AC mode is AC mode.
The charger i am looking at getting is 2.1 amp (because it has a spare usb port...so 1amp per line) and when i plug it in and it says AC MODE then its good to go right.
I just bought a TMOBILE offical charger that shows AC MODE, so when it MONOPRICE charger arrives i can compare. If it doesnt work its another 5 bucks, if it does i can take the tmo one back.
But again i am just wondering are there any caveats to AC MODE, or is it that once AC mode shows that is all that matters.
TheNexus 7 charger has a 5V 2A charger while the HOX uses a 5V 1A. Could I use the nexus charger without damaging the battery or the phone ? Would it charge faster ?
Trying won't harm the phone. Current is not pushed into the phone to charge the battery, the phone pulls current. But I don't think it will charge faster as the One X doesn't know how to check if the charger is more than 1A, and doesn't need more than 1A. Most lithium batteries should be charged over 3-4 hours.

No, it won't. You really think HTC wouldn't sent another charger if that's the case?

Worth a try, check current widget while charging and you should be able to tell if it is using the extra available current.

AFAIK the HOX only accepts up to a maximum of 1A.
I've just had a pretty long drive to take my son to the zoo.
I usually don't charge my phone in the car but because I only had 50% battery left I plugged in the car charger while I used Google navigation...
I had the charger plugged in the entire way and when I got there the battery had dropped by around 15%, so basically the navigation was killing the battery quicker than the car charger could charge it up.
Is that normal??? My screen brightness was on around 60%
Thanks for replies

Well, yes its normal because most likely your car charger is a USB car charger, which charges slower than an AC charger. If you had a custom kernel, and had fast USB charge, then this wouldn't be a problem because it would charge fast enough.

I've had battery drop while charging with navigation before, not nearly that bad though.

Sorry to sound dumb but i dont quite know what you mean there.
Its a straight charger from the ciggerette lighter to the micro USB port. It doesnt convert from the cig charger to a usb/micro usb cable

Well, it means its charging with USB power (Which is about 500 mah.) and sometimes it can't keep up with the phone using power and charging it at the same time. However, if you get a custom kernel with a "Fast USB Charging" option you can make it charge just as fast as an AC wall charger. Therefore, solving your problem with the dropping battery while charging.

Hi guys just wondering if any of you guys can recommend a quick charger for the G4 that does the business?

I've been using the Anker 18W Quick Charge 2.0 and its been working well.
I'm not sure of UK availability.

I have the Anker unit described above. It has worked flawlessly so far.
I have been using the motorola droid turbo charger that surely does the work flawlessly with no issues. Its quick charge is legit and lives up to its name of motorola turbo charge.
have the aukey battery pack which worked well and the ivoler mains charger

I'm using two Aukey quick chargers. One single port and one tripple port, works perfect, great quality feel and nice cable. Bought them at Amazon.de. Highly recommended.
Aukey works phenomenally well. Got both the car charger (can now run Google Maps, play Bluetooth music and charge at the same time) and the wall charger. The Qualcomm quick charge is magic!
Samsung quick v2 seems to work.

Ive got the uk plug aukey single port quick charge 2.0. Did a timed charge last night 14->48% 25minutes (1.36%/minute), 48->71% 16 minutes (1.44%/minute), 71-?92% 19minutes (1.11%/minute) - total time from 14% to 92% one hour. Now need to test with stock charger for comparison
N00b question regarding quick charging (Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 Car Charger). Does it matter whether I use the 2.0A vs the 2.4A outlet?
Yes you use the orange colored outlet for quick charge
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using Tapatalk
I have this exact same charger in my car, the orange plug is the QC2.0 one I plug my Zenfone2 on it, on the green one I plug my tablet or my GF plug her phone.
It works great.
Can confirm... Car charger works great...
I can confirm too, the orange slot charges 2 - 4% per min. Its awesome. Remember u must have use the aukey cable or another with 2A+ capable.
Regards!!
