What car charger should I get??

my galaxy nexus didn't come with the original charger since i got it imported but does the original charge with 1amp? if not how much? I need to buy a car charger and wanted to know what you guys thought was the best one for this device, thanks!

Original AC charger is 0.7 amps.

Scratch that, I double checked for you and its 1.0 amps. Dunno where I got 0.7 from...

If thats the case....
The you cant go wrong with the tried and tru Moto Charger. Only 5 bux and charges for 950mah. Make sure the shipping source is amazon for a legit one.

+1 . I bought two of these for my Droid1 and now continue using it on my Gal Nex. It charges pretty fast too. Loving it so far, very well-built quality.

Awesome! I have one which I used with my N1. I haven't used it with my GN yet, but I'm glad to know that it works

Thats the one I have and it charges super fast!
There are fake ones out there, make sure to select amazon as seller.

Coincidentally that's the one I ordered before waiting long for a response! The moto one deff seems like one of the best and I made sure amazon was the source before ordering because I did see a lot of fakes.. thanks

fwiw: samsung has dock w/spare battery

fwiw, Samsung has stock in charging dock that comes with the spare battery for $49. The unit connected to your exsiting charger will chargea spare battery while you phone has a place to stay. They have free UPS 1 day shipping with anything over 49.99 and the software (wrongly in my opinion) includes sales tax in the calculation to qualify.

You're correct. I'm wrong, but a spare battery and nice charger for it isn't all that bad, though all of sudden I'm seeing it for much less on the web, mid-high 30s.

I know... it just seemed like an important detail to note.

Wish it was like the one they made for the Charge I got new at VZW for $35. It simultaneously charged the second battery and phone, came with a second standard Samsung battery, and even had audio out jack and volume controls on the front panel. .......it was also a landscape dock, portrait docks seem useless. I almost never use my phone in portrait mode for anything.

AT&T Nokia DT-900 QI charger $24.50 + Tax/ DT-910 $51.75 + tax

***UPDATE*** there is an issue with some Nexus 4s and the Nokia DT-900. It appears to be an issue with some N4 implementation of the QI standard. Also does not semi affect all N4s. I don't own an N4 so don't know all the details. If you own an N4 this charger may not work for you.
I recently got a Nokia DT900 referb from ebay (white) for $24.99, and it works great. It includes a power source with a decently long cord.
I just saw AT&T is having a sale on the Nokia DT-900 (various colors):
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=BsyWhzJwki0
hope this helps those that missed out on the back-ordered Samsung wireless charger.
Just saw the DT-910 is also on sale for &51.75 plus tax. For those that want a charger that works as a vertical stand. That's the best price I've seen on the DT-910. personally a littler more than I'm willing to spend (money's tight right now).
UPDATE: Someone pointed out that is you have a Premier accout you can get an additional 25% discount if you order two ore more, that's $38.95 after taxes for two ($19.48 each after taxes).

Great find, I'm going to pick one up at my local store tomorrow! Thanks!

great catch! Just ordered 2 of them for the price of one, on top of that if you order 2 accessories, there's an additional 10% off. So for 2 chargers with the discounts and taxes came to 47 bucks.

I like the idea of wireless charging, but can't bring myself to pay $40, $50 or $60+ for a single wireless charger. $25ish is the reasonable area for me, maybe a little more for a charger that stand the device up for use while charging. Alas, all
those are still too pricey for me (Nokia DT-910, Tylt Vu).

wireless charging is less efficient, so all things being equal it will charge a bit slower.
I saw a chart someone made comparing the charge time of their phone, wireless (inductive) vs standard plugged in charging. It took that particular device (a Nexus 4, I believe) and additional 40 minutes to charge completely. I would assume the nexus 7 would take a bit more than that because of it larger battery. I would guess, and it is just a guess, a little more than an hour extra (75 to 90 minutes extra).
Maybe someone else who has done it can give you better info. I personally like to charge my device befer the go below 50% if it all possible.

I had the same thought you did at first but then someone pointed out that all Micro-USB ports are flimsy and that if you use them every day for charging, the can eventually wear out. So I could see it as an investment. Still haven't seen my way to forking over 50 bucks for the thing, but I may pick one of these up.

I'm not that worried about the usb port breaking. I mainly want the wireless charger just because I think it's cool I've yet to have a usb port break on me. I think I'll try picking one of those up at the att store since 25 seems like a more reasonable price for something I don't really need.

I have the Nokia 910 and it takes 5 hrs for a full charge. Approx 20% per hour. They work great for overnite which is what I use.
-----------------

Went to my local store today and was able to price match their website. So far it seems to be working great! It is even charging through an older folio case that I have that doesn't fit the nexus. So it's good to know that function will still work once the cases I ordered have arrived.
Now, did I need to buy this... no... But like most of my technology purchases I buy them because I want it. I like the ease of just placing it on the pad at night and letting it charge. Also it will keep one less wire floating around and protect the usb port for a bit.
Thanks again, OP!

Was it difficult to price match? I'm planning to pick one up today in-store. The website does say in-store pick up is doable so there probably won't be any issues.

Would they even price match the 10% discount if you buy two?

Tempting to get this. I had this exact charger that I used on my wife's GS3. The trickle charge kept us awake at night, so I sold it on eBay. My wife's GS3 would light up and make a sound when charging hit 100%. Then it would stop charging and restart when the device dropped to around 98%. Each stop and restart lit up the screen and played a notification sound. Not good when it happens next to your bed 8-9 times in the middle of the night. I guess its not a problem of you use a folio style case.
I don't think the USB port is going to break in the 1-2 years I will use this device before replacing it with something newer.

When I tried to select in-store pick up at checkout on the website there was no option to select a store, so I'm assuming I'll have to try to purchase it in-store.

Does the DT900 make the sound or the GS3?

The phone lit up and made a sound. The charger doesnt make a sound but it does have an LED light that turns on when charging.

Just got a black one from my local AT&T store. $24.50 plus tax, and they didn't have to price match it was on sale in the store for the same price. This was in Durham North Carolina near the SouthPoint Mall.
What I didn't realize before purchasing is that uses a proprietary cable, and not a USB cable. But for the price I guess I can't complain

I just picked one up from an AT&T store here in Los Angeles. I advised them of the online sale, but once they scanned it in, it showed up as $24.50. That part took less time than me explaining it to them what I was going to use it for!
Odd color scheme. I got the black one, but the actual power brick is white. Given the price, I can't complain...and it works perfectly.

$19 Qi Charger That Works Great!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E9MUNWU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I ordered one to test it out and I love it. I already ordered another one for the nightstand.
$19, no tax and free shipping. It took about 2 weeks to get to me but for the price I'm ok with that.
I'm not sure about charging time but it doesn't seem slow. It only comes with a usb cable so if you need a power plug for an outlet then you will need to supply your own.
I've only used it caseless so far as the cases I ordered are taking their sweet time coming in.
I didn't think I would like wireless charging that much but ... yeah, I like it alot.

I think its better to add a few bucks and get this: http://www.amazon.com/Okeler-Wireless-Charging-Charger-Samsung/dp/B00EXLZIF4/ref=pd_rhf_ee_p_d_7
much better looking

Round or rectangle, its just a personal preference.
I wouldn't mind a small super shallow one for my carholder.

Yea..or. You can buy the Nokia DT-900 Qi Plates from a known company with history for $25 shipped new in box on ebay all day long.
And unlike either of those it comes with both a AC Adapter and cable and does not ship from China.

Shhhh, don't tell anyone but they are all probably made in china.

I also did some searching and seems there are a bunch for $30 right now. If you check back ever few days you'll def be able to nab one for around $25 or maybe even less. There's a ton of them out there since they came free with Lumia purchases. I don't think I've seen any for 70 dollars, seems the highest is around 40.

I work for AT&T and the Nokia DT-900 is currently 50% off. It's not advertised and I didn't even know about it until I scanned it and saw it. Lucky me I get an added 40% discount. I'm not into wireless charging, but for only $15 I'll take it!

Getting back to the Lerway... I own one and it's a pretty decent charger. Not too finicky about positioning and appears to charge as fast as hardwired. It's actually a rubberized plastic which I didn't realize from the pictures, this compliments the N5 quite nicely.
But, if you can get a Nokia for 5 bucks more, don't be stupid, go for the Nokia.

I have two Nokia Qi chargers, one at work and one at home. They're great with the Nexus 5, no problems at all.
ONE WARNING THOUGH: The DT-900 use a proprietary charging cord. Not micro USB. Don't get the DT-900 for use in your car, it won't work!
They make a car charger, with a one piece cord that plugs into a car cigarette charger, but that is the CR-200 and will cost you more than the on-sale prices people have posted.

I have mentioned it few times now but the one in eBay is 10 dollars and change and works great . nice packaging too and ships fast . that's what I use every night.

I am using it right now. I was using it for my N4. Works fine. No issues to report so far.
Only thing is that it has a big footprint on your desk or nightstand.

Thanks for the post... figured I'd get it since my other is flat.

Thanks for this—just ordered two—hopefully they’ll work well!

I am using it with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid without issues. Works on the LG flat charger as well.

That looks nice, but kinda large. The Nokia charging stand is much sleeker I think.
I'm probably gonna use LG's wireless puck, or some of these to make some DIY wireless charging stands.

My official Google charger should arrive tomorrow... But I still want this. I'm just so worried about the sporadic overheating issues some people have been reporting with this charger... Ugh I want it so bad!

I've been using it on my N4 since the kickstarter project and worked fine. No overheating issues here. Now using it on my N5. No issues either.

I ordered two Tylt Vu chargers from T-Mobile and they're working fine at the moment. There is no overheating issue. If there is, I would update this post with my findings. It's a nice charger, and works well with evecase gel TPU case with the Nexus 5. At first, I thought the evecase gel TPU case was too thick, but it turns out that I didn't plug the power connector far into the Tylt Vu receptacle. If I had any complaint, that would be it. They should've designed such that the end plug from the power adapter be an L shape instead of a straight one that you would have to push in by the ends of the power cable.

The phone. Several people on various threads in this forum have mentioned this happening with the Vu. They state the the phone is unbelievably hot to the touch and stopped charging at some point. I wanted to wait until this problem was solved but I don't want to miss this great price...

Mine has arrived! Good build quality, led isn't too bright, nice weight to it and it's so damn sexy. I love it! No way I'd pay $70 for it though, there just isn't $70 worth of charger here. $50 should be the everyday price IMO, but I understand there are development costs they're probably trying to recoup.
