kidigi cradle

http://www.kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1324
i recently purchased the kidigi cradle...looks good (though it's utter crap that it fits with the case on), but it is getting extremely hot within 15mins
i never had the common 'hot when charging' issues, at least not to this extent and not this quickly...i also recently started using the Anker battery
coincidence that it's happening just as i got the dock and new battery? known issue with the Anker battery? or is the dock to blame, you think? I am using the usb and mains charger that came with the phone
should i only use it to charge and then take it out?

I have the exact same battery and cradle and experience no problems what so ever...
Although I do use the AC adaptor that came with the KiDiGi cradle.

Thanks for reporting your experiences with the cradle.
I had my eye on the MHL version:

Did you not go with a MHL-HDMI one because you just don't need/value/use it? I would have thought the MHL or the battery-charging cradle would be most popular of the cradles, for people on this forum.
How long did it take for delivery? From Kidigi direct or another seller?
Thanks for any info and recommendation; hopefully it's just a glitch that you can fix.

- didn't know it existed...lol
- wouldn't have bought it because it says it's for the Sensation XE (another lol)
- i got the one with a battery cradle because that's the one that said you don't have to remove the cover - but you SO do
- have no use for hdmi out
- i got it from ebay for $20...delivered from China to Australia in just over 2 weeks

it looks great, feel sturdy and of good quality, i'm just concerned about the heat

[Q] Nexus Wireless charger/compatible car adapter?

I just bought the Nexus Wireless charger (the new one with the magnets) with the intention of using it in my car. Unfortunately it does work with my cigarette lighter adapter (see below).
http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-USB-4-8A-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_1
I purchased that adapter because I read in another thread that the nexus wireless charger won't work at all unless it has a power source of at least 2A. This has 2.4A to both usb ports and works fine with my samsung and my nokia wireless chargers.
Has anyone gotten the Nexus wireless charger to work in their car, and if so, what cigarette lighter adapter did you use?

Anyone?..or am I the only person to try this?

The specs listed on the product description say 2.4 on the Ipad port and 2.4 on the android port. I believe that review was posted before they updated their description. So either they lied or corrected an error on their description.
The fact that the charger does not work has me a bit suspicious though. You never know what companies are trustworthy anymore.

I purchased the same Anker charger and also cannot get it to charge my Nexus 5 wireless charger.
If it is truly 1.5 amp then that's cause to get it returned to Amazon

Returning the Anker one tomorrow....too bad because till now, I've had nothing but positive outcomes with Anker products.

I just made it work! I tried the Anker adapter too (due to a Post on another Forum) and it didn't work, so i had to return it.
For me it works fine with the following charger that i bought on Amazon Germany. It's the same adapter that dkechitkid (Thank you) suggested.
RAVPower® RP-CC01 Dual Schnellader Kfz-Ladegerät Adapter (12V/24V, 3100mA, 2 x USB) für Apple iPad 1/2/3/4 iPad mini und iPhone 4S 5 5C 5S schwarz
Unfortunatelly I'm not allowed to paste the link. What i can also say is that it works fine although i use both ports simultaneously to power the Nexus wireless charger and power the Homespot audio adapter.
Does anyone have exprerience with the Belkin Aircast bluetooth and the nexus wireless charger? The power adapter is supposed to be 2.1 mah according to the Belkin site.

Charger for Nexus 5

I want a charger with longer wire than the one which comes in retail box. I was going through this Nokia AC-20 charger. Can someone tell me if that will be advisable to use with N5? The output of that charger is 750mAh, so I guess it will take some more time to charge which is fine with me. Should I go for it? Is there anyone who uses the AC-20 charger?

Personally I would go with wireless charger. I have the Google charger at my work desk and a different one at home I use as my nighttime dock.

Problem is that these chargers are not much available in India, moreover the prices are too high.

I don't use car chargers as I don't think they are safe! A simple crank of your engine causes the voltage to go up a lot... Even though the branded ones are totally safe, I prefer not to use them..
However, here is one which I'm eagerly waiting for... http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-air-dock

Why don't you just buy a longer 6ft+ USB cable and attach it to the charger?

The plugin part of the charger is the important part. The port is a standard microUSB cable so you can use whatever cable you want.

I was trying to use my old Nokia CA 101 which is a long cable than other but the charging time was way less than the stock one. Currently I'm using a Nokia AC 10E which belongs to my friend. This charges my phone really quick and comes with a long cable. But I have to return it this weekend. I tried looking for it in ebay India but unable to find 1.

I tried it already with a longer Nokia USB cable which is charging the phone slowly. So I need to buy a cable which can charger is at the same speed as the stock one.

Replacement Charger

Hey does anyone know where I can purchase the original charger for the Shield Tablet please? I bought it secondhand and the seller did not have the charger.
Cheers!

You can use any Verizon phone charger to charge the tablet.

Where to find Moto turbocharger 25w

Ok so my turbo charger 25w that came with my moto x pure got chewed up, I need a replacement, how ever I cannot find that charger anywhere no store online carries it, not even Motorola themselves!! I don't understand this charger came with the phone in the box when I got it, but all they sell Is the 15 w chargers. Why is this charger not findable. Even Motorola said that moto x pure comes with 15 watt charger, does anyone know about this issue and where could I possibly find this charger thanks y'all

Had the same issue and the ZOZO™ [Qualcomm Certified] 24W Quick Fast Charge 2.0 Wall Power Adapter seems to work well enough. I don't want to link to any sites but if you google it the first couple of results should lead you to places selling it for $8.

Thanks for the info. Probably have to keep this marked (when I find it available in Germany).
Let's see how long the stock charger lasts

This is the correct one I belive

Go on Amazon search Moto turbo charger it will come as a brick with a cable not attached unlock the stock. Don't worry it's supposed to be like this. Motorola only sells the attached one with the phone itself. The one with the cable attached to the brick breaks to easy. The cable supplied with the unactached one I bought from Amazon is more stable then any cable I've had in the past.

This is only the 15W charger. I know the OP started they were looking for the 25W. Any 25W I found, anywhere, has the cable attached. I imagine this charger wouldn't charge as fast with a lower ampere output.
