Hello. I'm trying to pick a car charger that would work with the galaxy nexus. from what I've read so far the samsung CAD300UBEB/STD model seems to do the trick but a few review says that the battery discharges faster than the charger can charge it back under heavy usage. can anybody confirm or deny this?
and also, I would like to know if that same charger would work for a galaxy S2. I'm looking for a charger than can be used with both models because I have both phones. the listing of models in amazon website doesn't list the nexus or the S2. so I want to make sure before buying it. thanks!
I'm also interested. I was just looking at this discussion on Reddit taht goes a little more in depth

The motorola charger listed there seems work well for the nexus and also for the S2 according to amazon reviews.
I went with one of these and a USB cable, and it seems to work just fine. Also gives me a spare USB port for additional charging.

I have the Motorola one already (the one with the blue LED) when I had my Droid 3, now it can't keep up with the Nexus' power drain. Just using it moderately on 3G only in the car today had it drain 3% over 40 minutes.

not according to this guy
I have a galaxy nexus cell phone which requires probably around 1.5 Amps when using GPS. The phone does not come with the car charger. It only comes with a 2A wall charger. My temporary solution has been to use a car power inverter that has house-type outlets on it (which I already had) so that I can use the wall charger in the car. This has been working fine, but for obvious reasons, is not my desired long-term solution.
Enter this piece of crap. Now, the phone and only requires a little over 1 A with GPS. With the real two amp wall charger, I am able to both run GPS and charge the battery pretty darn fast. But, with this charger, not only can I not use GPS without draining the battery, but even when not using anything special, the battery charging times are horrendous.
Stay far, far away.

Wow... granted, I am not using a GPS, but I never really checked the charge times. I don't rely on it for a fast full-charge.. usually just plug it in on the trip home and charge as much as it can until I plug it in at home.
Thanks for the heads up.. I am gonna have to keep an eye on it now.

I've researched this pretty thoroughly, and the key question is whether or not your GN shows "AC" when you check the Battery status, or if it shows "USB."
With most car chargers, it is seen as "USB" as if it's plugged into a computer, and will draw minimal current, generally not enough to keep up. I had 2 different chargers in my cars, none of which showed as "AC". I bought and then returned the Griffin PowerJolt Dual USB Micro Charger - it also showed as only "USB."
Finally, in one of the other Android forums I've been monitoring on this issue, somebody came across this one:
HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G Car Charger
$3.12, free shipping. Mine came yesterday, plugged it in, and finally my GN showed charging as "AC".
Hope this helps!
When your smartphone shows your charger as ''USB'' this means that the USB data lines in the charger are not short-circuited. Then smartphone reduces its charging current to avoind any problems with USB laptop power sources
I made some experiments to check this point : see http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=184.
I also opened a car charger and short-circuited the data lines on USB the plug . That way I have solved my previuos charging problem in my car during long trip.

It helped indeed, thanks for the link!
this is what i bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
i've used it now 4 times, twice on a trip from south florida to orlando.
It charges the phone just as fast, if not faster than my home charger. On the way back, my phone was at 35%, within 2 hours it was back up to 100%. No GPS and a couple phone calls.
on the way up, GPS on and it never dropped below 97%.
so i can tell you without any doubt what-so-ever that this charger works perfectly with the galaxy nexus and will charge it with Navigation and phone calls running.

I bought a charger very similar to this one and it works great in my car. I make sure any charger I get is rated 5V DC at 1000mAh at least.
I have 2 USB 2.5A dongle chargers, one by Belkin and the other by Kingston. Both register as charging via "USB mode" and do not provide sufficient power while the phone is in use(loses charge usually). I also have that Motorola Rapid charger but the way the cable is designed it tugs on the USB port and comes loose often. I ended up just using the normal USB cable that comes with the phone and a 140W power inverter. Granted, it's not the most compact of devices, but it works well. I got it from Walmart for $20. Here's a link to it:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-XI14-Power-Inverter/15140199?findingMethod=rr
(and yes, using a power inverter will have the phone registering as "charging AC" and give a full proper charge.)
I'm using a Scoshe (sp?) dual USB port charger I picked up from Staples. It has a 1amp port and a 2.1amp port and I just use the micro usb cable the GNex came with

There was another thread, I think in the General that discussed all of this, what people came up with was the best combination if you want a dual port usb charger is to make sure you have a "charging only" USB cable. This cable will not make your phone think it is connected to a computer. You can tweek a data/charging cable to work but some people messed that up so it is probably worth just spending the $4 on a cable that works.
Here is my combination that works great. With this set up I can have on my navigation going with the screen on the whole time and stream Pandora over Bluetooth into my car and the battery still charges really quickly.
Dual USB Port with a 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port (2.1 amp port is for tablets or power hungry devices - like the phone while navigating). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056VNVV8/ref=oh_o01_s00_i01_details
Charging Only USB cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VYBCAY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
This combo has me as "Charging AC" whenever I am in the car and I still have a port open to charge another one of the 27 or so different electronic devices that seem to clutter my life!

Thanks for this. It's been driving me mad how car chargers and cables are so inconsistent. Pun intended.
Seriously, why can they come up with a standard and call it a day?
I have a had a few GPS/Pandora runs. Even while it says AC charging and my charger is rated for 1A, it drains the battery by 300-400ma.
I lost the original charger to my 10.1 2014 Edition and I've had problems ever since. Earlier this week I thought I would order a Limefuel 24W 4.8A dual port rapid charger. I thought to myself: Hey I can untick Power saving and have all my needed apps running. Even using a root mod to run 4 way multitasking. Yet it's still sucking up more juice than the charger is spitting out. Am I doing something wrong or did I get a faulty unit from China? This was NEVER a problem when using the Damn Samsung charger along with the foreign adapter dongle it shipped with. I thought getting one so powerful would charge it even faster.
Maybe I should just ship it back and get an official unit from Samsung? Although I don't see how getting less energy will make the tablet charge any better

4.8 amp should do the trick. Could be a fake unit. Is it heavy? 4.8 amp is pretty much, so it should be as big as a lap top charger.
But remember , a cheap usb cable may also be the problem. Try a short one of good quality.
Edit.Just tried a 1.2 amp Nexus 5 charger on my P605. Charging good on full brightness.
Thanks

The charging circuitry and s/w on the device determine charging speed. Do a search. Someone posted the different charging amperages using the stock charge and Apple and HTC chargers and USB cables. The device detected the latter and charged at about half of the former.

The problem was it wouldnt charge at all.

Does the p600 also not charge correctly with a non samsung charger? I remember my p1000 requiring an adapter that had a resistor between two connections to charge correctly at a laptop or different charger.

Hi Everyone.
I have a question about my used phone LG Optimus G E973. It charge very slowly. It always take about 6 hours for a full charge. If I use the phone, the charging percentage won't go up but go down slowly even if It is being charged.
Is it normal for this model?

Since the iphone has a different battery, the charger is also different.
To make sure your battery doesn't die, I suggest you use an LG charger, or at least a charger for a phone with the same amount of mAh on the battery (2100, in this case)

I own the E975, which is slightly different, but the specs are the same and I have not run into this problem before. So I'm guessing it's an error in either the USB-cable or the phone's battery. I'm not sure though.

Too bad. So there is something wrong with my phone. Is your main power 110V or 220V? The power in my place is 110V. Sometime I get message "Slow Charging" when I connect my phone to the charger.

I did a little research (I googled it) and that might just the cause of your problem. Many people have said that charging on a 110v outlet is not only slower but also less efficient. To charge your phone faster with a lower voltage oulet, they recommend to buy a charger that is specially made for that voltage, but that might not be a problem since also my charger (LG charger) supports voltages from 100V up to 240V.
"In a very layman terms, voltage is what drives the real power (amperes) into your device. So the lower your voltage as per specified rating then the lower the movement of power to your device.
However, when power moves slowly into your device, it stays longer"
I hope this gives you enough information concerning your problem
Sound like I'm lucky to have a phone which can be charged slowly. How many percents you get if you charge your phone for 15 minutes?

I am sorry in advance, my comment is not directed at you personally, since you found this info online...
This is a complete and utter nonsense. It's not even funny, it's just dumb. First off, auto-sensing chargers will work with any AC mains within standard tolerances. 110V, 120V, 220V, 240V -- doesn't matter at all, the charger will output stabilized 5VDC, and will supply the current (Amps) up to its rated maximum. Also, saying that the voltage drives the amps is another BS. The voltage in this case doesn't change -- it stays at 5V (unless you have a crappy or defective charger, of course). Only the charging circuit in the phone determines the current that it draws from the charger.
Speaking of the OP's problem, there might be different reasons for a slow charge. All of them have already been mentioned in this thread. The easiest thing to check is to change the USB cable. Speaking from experience, I have two particular cables that consistently exhibit this issue -- it all depends on the conductors (wires) and the quality of connections. Grab another cable, and see what happens. Next step would be to change the charger for something rated higher (2A, for example). I am 99% sure either of these replacements will fix the issue. If neither of these things work, then there may be a problem with the battery, which can be replaced. The worst-case scenario is a problem with the phone itself (highly unlikely)...

Well, explanations like those you quoted could be reasonable to some extent only if you have a really bad charger (either broken/defective, or just made like crap to begin with). I am talking about properly designed and functioning chargers. I have a wonderful example of a cutting-edge engineering from China sitting in my desk drawer: it's a microUSB car charger, which has direct connections from a 12VDC socket to microUSB pins, protected by a 5Amp fuse. Oh, and a cute red LED light, of course. :silly: When something like this is used, anything can happen... If a phone survives, it could be a good advertising for a phone's manufacturer: "Our phones work no matter how hard you try to kill them!"
As I already mentioned, I think it's neither charger nor cable problem. How do I guess that? Well,
1st, I charge my iPhone with iPhone cable and "A" charger. It charge very quick so "A" charger shouldn't be a problem
2st, I charge my iPhone with iPhone cable and LG Charger. It charge very quick so LG Charger shouldn't have problem.
3rd, I charge another android phone with "A" cable and "A" charger. It charge very quick so "A" cable has no problem.
4th, I charge my LG Optimus G E973 with "A" cable with LG charger. The charge is very slow.
Therefore, I guess, none of the accessories have any problem so I think I'm the only one in the world who have this problem.

your phone usb port might be a defective one lol
My LG E975 used to charge frustratingly slow when I first bought (20 percent over 3 hours). Before taking it to warranty, I did test around to see what's the problem and found it was because of the cable. Some cables work better than the others though. I used the LG charger with the cable of my Sony phone -> still slow; with Asus tablet cable -> working normal (1 percent up every 1 - 1,5min).
Further testing, I used the "faulty" LG cable to charge my Asus tablet, and it worked fine. So (I guess) the USB port of the phone is just being picky on cables . Try charging with some other cables for a few minutes to see if any works for your phone.
any way to change the currents charging voltage in kernel? i have this issue with CM11 but not on stock
Hi recently I bought 2 LG G3's (D855)
1 Black
1 White
The Black one is for my girlfriend, I received it with the original seal broken and replaced by another where as my white LG was not.
The black LG is displaying
"Charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster"
I compared both of our chargers when they arrived and they both look identical.
I have tried another working charger and it still displays the same message.
The white LG is totally fine with charging.
Not had much chance to tinker around with it as of yet just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it.
Thanks in advance.

If you're literally charging from a USB connected to a computer it actually outputs less power. However, if you're plugged into the wall this can be a problem. Have you tried the same exact outlet? Output can vary from outlet to outlet.

I am talking about plugged into the wall not charging via USB from computer, it displays the message as if it is connected to a computer and not the wall which is confusing and yes I've tried. I did a search on Google about this problem, it seemed a few people experienced this with LG G3's but could not find an answer. Its quite a bit problem as a full charge takes about 12 hours.

I know that sometimes with my stock charger because it only outputs 1.1amps I get the slow charging message, it's probably just that the LG stock charger doesn't output enough for android to think it's charging properly (Usually around 1.2-1.5a output). You have to remember, even with it plugged in, the phone is still using power so the amount actually going to your battery isn't 1.1amps, in most cases it's somewhere around 400-600 milli-amps, so I'd say that's why you're getting the message. I know if I use my sister's Galaxy S5 wall charger that outputs 2.1 amps, even when in use the battery still gets 1.2 amps sent to it to charge, and I don't get the slow charging message, so I'd say you just need a higher-output charger (I don't know why LG thought 1.1 amps would be sufficient for a device with a QHD screen..)

I know if I use my sister's Galaxy S5 wall charger that outputs 2.1 amps, even when in use the battery still gets 1.2 amps sent to it to charge, and I don't get the slow charging message, so I'd say you just need a higher-output charger (I don't know why LG thought 1.1 amps would be sufficient for a device with a QHD screen..)

So you get the slow charge message with the Stock LG charger to? if so what charger do you use to not get this message? I have tried a few different chargers now and all say the same with the Black LG G3 but all work fine with my White LG G3

If you're rooted you can remove that message so you don't see it, but other than that I would contact whomever you purchased it from and tell them about it. Sorry for not having any other solutions.

Looks like LG are supplying the wrong charger's for some of there phone's
I just managed to try my White LG G3 Charger with the Black LG and the message has gone for now
The White Charger is 5V, 1.8A, Don't have the Black one with me at the moment but im guessing its the same as @iDefalt
Still strange how it does this with the black and not the white model both are D855's as my old Samsung charger works fine with my White LG but not with the Black model
Thanks for your guys help :good:

Yeah man, this is definitely weird
I have the same issue too.
I get the error message saying "charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster."
I have the black LG-d855 32gb with 02/2015 manufacturing date. My charger outputs 5v 1.8amps (black charger). When I use my Asus 5v 1.3 amp charger (using the same stock lg cable) I get no issues at all and charges the phone fully in less than 2 hours. The stock LG charger wont fully charge my phone overnight (6 hours). I updated to lollipop but still I have the same issue.
Same problem, i have change the usbcable and now all charge good

I tell you that I have two original chargers lg g3. but if I connect it with the charger s5 charge well. Then I did the tests on the TV and radio by connecting usb .but mon makes me the chance to choose the mode of connection. will be four days I noticed these problems.

yup, exactly, the cable or the charger may be not so compatible with the device.

Hi recently I bought 2 LG G3's (D855)
1 Black
1 White
The Black one is for my girlfriend, I received it with the original seal broken and replaced by another where as my white LG was not.
The black LG is displaying
"Charging slowly with charger/USB. Connect to a standard charger to charge faster"
I compared both of our chargers when they arrived and they both look identical.
I have tried another working charger and it still displays the same message.
The white LG is totally fine with charging.
Not had much chance to tinker around with it as of yet just wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue and solved it.
Thanks in advance.

i also experienced same problem with my LG G3 so now i am using samsung's 2 amp charger to charge my lg g3 :crying:
Make sure the usb cable that plugs into the power brick is completely seated.
I had same error and only just now noticed that the plug was only 90% of the way in.
Unplug the usb cable from the power brick and then plug it back in. Use more force than you believe to be necessary, be a macho man!
THe error will go away if the usb cable is all the way seated into the power brick, make sure to push it ALL THE WAY IN.
Try this once

Well for starters have you interchanged the chargers to see if the problem replicates itself on the other phone? Also do remember to interchange BOTH the sable and the power adapter. An adapter can be a problem , but as I found out with my OPPO, just the cable itself can be a problem too.
How it works is that pure data / sync cables have inherently lower charging current. Fast charge cables on the other hand have the data pins (3,4 I guess) shorted out . such fast charge cables have a higher charging current than the sync cables.
Try this
Strp-1. Interchange the whole charging setup between the phones
ie - Replace the black phone's Adapter+Cable (Both) with the White one's adapter+cable , and vice versa. See if you can replicate the same problem on the other phone. If it does , then go to Step 2
Step-2 This Step will tell you if the problem is with your adapter or the cable( it is very much possible) start with the original setup ie the one before step one.
So now try the interchange step separately for the Adapters and the cables.
Ie first just interchange the adapter and if the problem is replicated on the other phone, then the problem is with the adapter. If not , go back to the original setup and interchange just the cables, if you did not see the problem with the adapter , the problem is obviously with cable and this Step will confirm it. You should see the error now when you have interchanged the cables. Best of luck
Just wondering if it is safe to charge my G4 using a 2.1A charger? I recently had an issue with mine, like many others have had, whereas it randomly powered off and would not turn back on / charge.
Long story short, I had to send it off for repair and they replaced the motherboard and screening. It's virtually a new unit now.
Now, I know this was probably not the cause, but I used to charge the phone now and again using a 2.1A travel charger I have.
Is it safe to do so?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can.
In fact, I am using the factory Samsung Galaxy S6 charger ( EP-TA20 ) since a few months and did not notice any issue and it charges faster than the LG one.
The Samsung charger is rated 2.0A, 5V or 1.67A, 9V
The battery may get bit warmer (if you use the phone), but not to an alarming level.
Assuming you mean a 2.1 amp charger, it shouldn't be a problem. The phone controls the amount of current and power that goes in, so, as long as it's a phone charger, it shouldn't be a problem.

Oops sorry. Yes, I meant 2.1A

Just because you buy a PC with 1.2kw power supply, doesn't always mean it draws 1.2kw all the time. It only draws what it needs. Phone is a mini PC, it acts pretty similar. You should be fine. I've been using QC 2.0 charger for a long time and didn't have any issues. It provides up to 2.4A, don't worry
