HI there,
I know there is different wall, in-car chargers and their quality etc. with different 'A' etc. so I am looking for a car charger and cable which would do its job as it should be for LG G4 phone.
I have found so far that 'USB 2.0 A 28/24AWG Cable' is the best for fast speed charging, is that a good one? Also any ideas about the car charger ? Or perhaps I should go just for this kind of charger so I don't need to buy an extra one? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-5...761855?hash=item3abb512a7f:g:90wAAOSwL7VWl8i3
What are the numbers (A, AWG etc.) I should look for both items, so it chargers in decent time and with the quality?
Any help appreciated regards.

Hey guys,
Looking for a combo micro-usb wire that also comes with a dual car/wall charger. I dont care if its two pieces or three pieces, but I just care that I can keep the Captivate plugged in and not have any issues using it. The last one I bought was a Duracell three way usb combo that had a retractable wall charger on the travel charger piece, but it wasnt giving enough power to the phone, so i couldnt use it while plugged in.
I have been looking at the "Premium USB power kit" by A Days Tech on Amazon, but im worried its going to be a generic POS and not give enough juice.
Anybody know which of these works?
I guess I can also buy a high quality micro-usb wire and then a high quality USB car charger/wall plug seperately as another option. So any opinions on those are also appreciated.

There are a bunch of threads on charging these phones. Unless the charger or the cable has the data lines shorted, the phone will only charge at USB rate (~500mA). Even if you have a 1A car charger, the best you will get is USB speed UNLESS you connect the data lines on the cable. I have not seen a car charger that does this.
The most current the phone will draw is around ~750 mA. It will do this when it thinks it is attached to AC.
Hi,
I bought the Scosche HC12V Dual Home Charger, but I haven't received it yet, but from what little I know of the brand they supposedly make good accessories. I should receive it in a few weeks (shipping a captivate and accessories overseas).
Both outputs are rated at 1amp, the only thing is that it does not come with it's own cable.

I bought a car charger and separate car-to-wall converter from Monoprice. Total for both items about $5. Maybe it only charges at 500 mA but seems fine to me.

Hi Guys,
I've bought many aftermarket cables such as wall chargers, car chargers, usb charger cables etc for my S2 but none of them go in and out of the phone as easy as the genuine wall and pc charger cables that come with the phone in the box.
I think for ease of use I will purchase some genuine cables or are there aftermarket cables out there that you vouch are easy to operate? For example the aftermarket usb cable I have at home is a real pain to get on and off.
I need the following items:
Long cable wall charger
Usb pc cable (preferably tad longer cable than stock)
Car charger
Thanks in advance.

i highly recommend an oem car charger. i would get an oem or good quality wall wort charger. with solid amperage rating. don't cheap out or you'll be buying more. micro usb cable try monoprice.com to see if they have the length you want. might want to see if they have oem chargers their too. their wall chargers are ok. i wouldn't recommend their car chargers if you happen to look there also.

I get mine from monoprice.com
It has gold plated cables, and they're cheap. I find them easy to go in and out, but the cables are stiffer and thicker and less flexible, with harder plasticky covering. The cables also has a ferrous core too, which helps with data transmission over longer distances.
Easily the best and cheapest cables I got.
Alternatively there's a ebay guy whom I buy from, he can customise the cable length for you, and the cables are in soft rubber like covering, but his cables aren't the cheapest around, but his service is good, and he includes DHL shipping into the price of his stuff. Let me know if you want to have his name (i've to go dig it up)
As for car chargers, my opinion is to get a cheap one, they will provide about 1A - 2A draw which is much more than enough. The phone can't draw more than 900mA of current anyway (even when I chilled it with ice). I've a cheap one, with 2 USB ports, and it charges 2 SGS2s at the same time just fine (me and my gf's).
can anyone tell me what i need to search for on Ebay for the correct Galaxy s2 charging cable? need a longer one
thankyou
Hey, I am looking for another charger for my Galaxy Nexus. I have a few Micro USB cables so I basicly need only the AC to USB adapter. I looked at Ebay and there's a lot of stuff there, but I dont know if those are high quality. For example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Power-T...787133?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c29d322bd
I am afraid it will damage my device.
Any suggestions, guys?
Has anyone found an incar charger that actually works? I have used the official lg cable with a cigarette lighter adapter and it simply says its slow charging with a usb charger. was using the satnav and it just constantly lost power instead of charging
cheers
I'm using this. You might need to condition your phone for it though so it can charge as quick as the stock LG wall charger.

I find the problem usually to be more about the cable then the charger. Most car chargers claim to be 2.1a these days, but often the cable just can't keep up. The one I ordered is no longer in stock, but it's similar to this one:
ok, the system won't let me post links.. search amazon for 20awg usb charge cable
Cheers guys, I'll take a look
I use the iOttie Easy Flex wireless charging car mount. Best $40 ever spent on a car charger
I use Anker IQ 2 port 24W car charger. Main problem with charging LG G3 is usually bad cable quality. Use good cable and you'll always charge successfully.

Even if I've used my original g3 cable with an in car adapter it didn't charge. Anyway, I got one off eBay whilst waiting for options above and so far it's working great.
Most in-car chargers are delivering 1A output, LG wall charger for G3 is 5V 1.8A. I use an in-car charger with both 1A and 2A outputs (twin), the latter, 2A connection, does its job well (which actually is for charging tablets like iPad in car). Shortly, if you want to get an effect like in LG wall-charger case you should care on the output current of charger.
Hi does anyone know how many amps the charger cable should be because i find it to be quite short and flimsy. I used to have a moto x force and the cable on that was long and good quality so i would like to purchase a better quality cable but iff im right i think the type of cable it is will affect fast charging or maybe im wrong and i can use any cable from ebay.
