Hello all! I finally got the galaxy nexus just a few hours ago and it's amazing so far, but now I have to charge it so this question came into mind. The charger that came with the package is the US standard, but I'm in a different country with the Europe standard. I do have that small adapter but I was wondering if using it would damage the phone ? I'm going to charge from my PC for now.
If the adapter you have is legitimate and is rated to convert from the US to European plug, I don't see why it would damage the phone.

Can anyone tell me the exact model number for the simple USB wall charger?
I had it for the GSII.
Looking to buy off ebay.
Mine came with a different charger that needs converter. Picture below...
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120869020359?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT#ht_1116wt_905
because my Gnex shipped with an European plug and US adapter (which I hate carrying around). It is OEM and you get the wall plug and USB cable as well.
does it really matter what usb wall adapter is used? I bought a generic one that can double as a car adapter for when I need it in the car and it works fine for me when plugged into the wall.
what if the charger overheats the $600 dollar phone and it catches on fire then destroys your $500,000 house...
Better 7 dollar charger than -500,600 loss....hmmmm?
they sold out and now I cant find any wall charger like that, the only wall charger similar is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YCORR0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1SALXWWS9Y6O
But the usb cable is suk !!

That's the only reason I haven't bought that one yet. It's the same USB cable that came with the Nexus S, but I want the same one that came with the Galaxy Nexus, but with a US adapter like that one.
Is there a place to get the same charger that shipped with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus (without the Verizon stickers)? I've searched everywhere, but can't seem to find anything official.

No idea which ships with Verizon version but Amazon has the little OEM 1.0A US charger which is what I got. It works great. I just use the Motorola micro usb cables. My GSM Nexus came with a travel adapter but with UK blades only. I ordered a replacement from Clove but it was missing the other blades too. Either Clove misrepresented the description because it claimed to have multiple blades you can switch out or Samsung packaged mine wrong so I got a refund.
Hi Guys
i Have buyed The S3 in the netherlands but it seems a UK Model
with a UK Charger so i cant charge in the netherlands..
i saw on the charger it can change plugs if u go on vacation or something else
my question is i just need a EU plug for the charger
yes i know a can buy a normal charger but i want to keep everything orginal as possible
so guys do u know where i can buy the EU plug and not the whole charger
greetings
If it was me I'd be going back to where I bought the phone from and ask them to supply the correct part. other than that I guess you would need to contact Samsung support as the part would be specific to a Samsung charger
i called samsung service..but they have a IQ of a donkey

I think you're being a bit harsh on the Donkey
Other than buying a whole new charger I can't see an alternative, have you tried where you bought the phone from?
Any micro USB charger that provides 1.0A should power it just fine, e.g.

Genuine Samsung adapter something like part no ETA0U80IBE. 5v1A is all that's needed.
Looking for some help with the official Nexus Wireless Charger, which my husband uses (used) with his Nexus 5.
My husband was moving his bedside table and forgot to unplug the wireless charger from the wall first. He ended up bending the pins and they can't be fixed. The USB cord and the actual QI Portion of the charger itself are fine, they work when they're plugged into my wireless charger, it's just the wall outlet that needs to be replaced.
We've tried plugging it into the myriad of other wall adapters we have that have come with other devices, but they all result in that little red light coming on which indicates inadequate power.
I've just spent 20 minutes on the phone with Google. They used to sell just the charger accessory but it's no longer available for purchase and they don't have any more in stock, and the charger was purchased JUST over a year ago so the limited warranty is shot on it.
I'm assuming we are probably screwed and will have to just suck up the cost of buying another, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any wall outlet adapters that would work as a replacement.
Thanks in advance.

I would use the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo.../hands-best-fastest-cheapest-nexus-5-t2729066
I used it with mine and it worked fine. The main thing on the Nexus Charger is it wants 2A of current. I'd say about 80% of those you'll run across will usually output 700mA-1A far less than needed. That one above will be good and if the same accident happens again they're not that expensive to replace.
Hey Guys,
Finally my cheap EU Adapter for the chargingplug is broken. The one i got was delivered free by honorbuy, where i bought the phone.
Can you recommend a good and stable Adapter or May be even a complete EU charger to USB cable? It would be nice IG it had a good shipping time. I feind this on amazon:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B01EN...X236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=Leeco+adapter
Is this good? I dont want to damage the battery
Thanks in advance

Its not just the adapter , my charger doesnt work anymore. Also get a spare type C cable . Very easy to buy online but not in shops yet
Any QuickCharge 3 compatible should do perfectly

I bought my original LeMax 2 in the US and got a USB-C charger and cable (both sides), so I had to find and deal with a wall plug replacement at home.
It's worked fine and is still working, even if the US->EU adapter is somewhat large, at least *after* I found out that I wasn't reversible (despite USB-c) at the charger side (but reversible at the phone side).
Le next (sorry but 'le' is 'the' in French and it's soundy very silly to say 'the Le') Max2 I bought for my son and that came with a US charger, a flimsy US->EU adapter and a USB-A to USB-c cable: That charger and the phone no longer seem able to negotiate proper voltage levels, but the problem seems to be more with the cable, as it works with another USB-A to USB-c cable. This original cable is a bit odd anyway, as it is actually reversible at the USB-A (non-c) side.
Since I wanted to cut down on the risk of electrocution and my son borrowing my charger I bought him an Anker QuickCharge 3 compatible charger from Amazon (https://www.amazon.de/Anker-PowerPo...79601842&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3). Works perfectly and very quickly.
And then I went full steam ahead and bought another Anker charger to consolidate my sockets, since I have quite a few Androids and was running out of outlets (or rather daisy-chaining extension chords and sockets to nightmare levels):
https://www.amazon.de/PowerPort-Hoc...79601842&sr=8-5&keywords=anker+quick+charge+3
This one is a bit pricy but allows for quite a bit of consolidation, while it also offers at least one QuickCharge port.
And once you've tested QuickCharge, it's difficult to go back
It's full metal and feels very solid. Hopefully it also doesn't waste power unless it is actually charging.
Ask me again in a year or two if they fulfilled their quality promises without killing any phone or tablet
I orderd my google pixel 2xl in the U.K. while I live in the netherlands, so when I ship the phone to the netherlands I won't be able to use charger that come with the phone because it has the U.K. charger plug which is different from the plug we use in the netherlands.
Now I will be able to charger the phone using the usb-c port in my computer but that is obviously not a good solution.
What would you guys recommend me to do, should I buy a travel adapter and use that on the charger that comes with the phone? Should I buy a new charger but than I would also need to buy a new usb type c cable and I have heard that you can't just buy any usb type C cable. Or should I buy the official google pixel 2 charger in germany? But that would cost me 45 euros which is way too much imo..
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but thanks in advance.
i got a us version
and i don't live in the us
so i just used an adapter as there no other options for chargers
so using an adapter is the cheapest solution for now
as the only PD charger outside the us is google charger
Hm, you're making a problem in a no problem situation... Buy a travel adapter and use the UK charger. If you have extra 50 euro get one from Germany but the only difference is aesthetics.
Thanks problem solved I'll buy an adapter.
