OK, so I bought this car charger, and it has 2 USB ports on it, A and B. A charges at 1.0a, and 5w. B port charges at 0.5a, and 2.5w. My phone has some charging issues where it uses too much power. My phone only works in port B, and lately I have to reboot my phone to get that to work. I was wondering if I could get port A to work with my phone? I know it works because my dad has the Note 2 and it works in port A. Thanks in advance.

First off this belongs in GNex accessories. Second there's no reason your phone isn't charging at 1A if everything is working correctly. Sounds like some kind of grounding issue.

Sorry if it didn't sound right in the post, I meant that my nexus isn't even picking up port A. And yeah I think my nexus has some problems, I was using my dads note 2 charger which puts out 2 A, and my phone was discharging. I don't have insurance, so I don't think I can get it fixed.

Chargers do not ”put out” amperage. The amperage drawn is determined by the device itself. Even though the charger is rated at 2 amps, the phone will only draw about 1 amp.

Great Replacement Wall Charger

Hey just so I recently got my GNex but the seller didn't supply me with the original charger and my HTC one and Verizon one fit very lose on the port. So after some time on Google search finally found what looks like the real thing off of Amazon. From the unboxings I've seen they look just like the real thing and it fits a lot better too.
Here are some pictures of them as well as a link to Amazon only ten dollars shipped. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...5AH3_4?ie=UTF8&m=ALV6DBOZR5AH3&n=&s=&v=glance
Took 4 or 3 days to get here.

They also send a little flash light/laser pointer thing.
I'm happy with it. The cable is the same size as the original one that comes in the box with the GNex so is short not any longer.
I just wanted to share in case you guys were looking for one like I was.

I was in the market for a new charger but settled for a blackberry charger for its 6ft cord. It charges slightly slower but I'd rather have a longer cord than a faster charge time.

Yeah the Verizon one I have is six feet but slow charge. This one is a 1a so the charging should be the same as the one in the box with the GNex. So the specs and everything match perfectly to the original one which is why I got it.

Charing phone, checking amps.

Just looking around and I found my s4 charger to have an output of 2A and my GNex has a 0.7A
Is there a way to see the amp going in to the phone? I bought a random eBay chargers as well and I want to test the power going in so I know which ones to keep and which to give away to people as spares.
Battery Monitor Widget Pro from Google Play. Works perfectly. I caution buying "random" chargers from ebay.. seeing more and more people with exploding batteries and charger ports being fried. Just use caution.

The one by 3c so the first one. And I get ones that match the output of the home charger or a couple of ahma (milliamps) less. Then it requires you to use the stock cable

The weakest point

For the tablet is the micro USB port. It can fail due to the daily plug-unplug action. An easy solution is to use an adapter permanently plugged in. See pic.

More likely to accidentally knock the protruding adapter and therefore permanently damage the device female socket in the process. ....

One helpful solution is to turn the tab upside down when plugged in and viewing it in portrait mode. This keeps the plug at the top rather than pressing against your lap and stressing the socket.

Did you actually damage the port or is this just a "precaution"? From my experience the headphone port fails way faster, the microUSB port is actually pretty robust on most devices.
Anyway, there is no way I use one of those ugly adapters.
Just a precaution. I keep the earphone always plugged in .

My solution is a wireless receiver connected through the USB, but you need a wireless transmitter and charging time will be slower.
Manufacturers (for the most part) aren't idiots and know the MTBF (mean time between failures) for every component they select. Things like jacks and plugs which are prone to damage from high use are spec'd accordingly. My two Samsung devices I've had since November show no sign of their USB ports weakening. People looking for problems are usually the first to have them. Ironic, no?

Can you try with original charger? does that work?
Your photo shows model A2010 BTW, you mentioned A2013? not sure if there is a difference but the physical charger certainly has A2010 stamped on it ..

Portable Aukey Battery not working with Axon 7 anymore

Hello all,
I bought an external portable Aukey battery that was working fine until I don't know what happened...
This is the model I'm talking about:

When I plug it to my phone, it starts to charge, and then stops. I have 3 identical devices, and they all do the same thing. I have changed the USB cable, same story.
If I plug my phone to another QC3 charger, portable or electrical, it works. But not with this device.
It used to work some weeks ago, and then I upgraded the firmware from B03 to B08. I haven't used them since.
Anyone noticed something like that? No problem with external chargers?
Thanx for your thoughts
Funny.
I've ordered that portable charger but i had to send it back because it wasn't working just like yours.
The charger works for 5 seconds and them it stops working.
Tested 3 different cables - got the same result.
My phone has B08 firmware.
Using the Aukey charger with another phone that doesn't have quick charge, it works OK.
I have another older portable charger (doesn't have quick charge) and it works fine with the Axon 7.
I've ordered another portable battery with quick charge 3 from another manufacturer.
I'll post my results here when i receive it.
Thanks.
Maybe this quick charge issue will be solved in Nougat firmware...
I'm sorry for the late response but only today i received a new power bank, after 2 different orders.
I've bought a BlitzWolf BW-P4 and this power bank works great!
Fast charging works as advertised and has a small profile with 5200mAh.
You can find this power bank here:

I'm very pleased with this one.
