Hi, would like to know if it's okay to use a 1.5A charger to charge our Nexus 5? I've seen that our stock charger is 1.2A.
Should be fine. The charging circuitry will only draw the current it needs, which obviously is below 1.5A.

Thank you very much! Okay then I'll buy the powerbank.

2A Chargers with the Nexus 5?
My Nexus 5 1.2A wall adapter died overnight. Will not charge anything I plug into it, though the Nexus 5 microUSB cable works with other USB adapters I own.
Google wants me to ship back everything, including my defect-free Nexus 5, to replace the wall adapter. Not going to do that....
My question is: would it be ok to charge my Nexus 5 with a 2A charger? I have some 1A and 2A chargers around the house, but do not have any 1.2A chargers like the Nexus 5 one. If not I'm looking to buy something like this: http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-2-4-...=1383756651&sr=1-4&keywords=1.2a+wall+adapter

Yes. That is fine. The phone will only pull what it needs. I use chargers from 0.5A all the way to 2.1A on all my devices.
Thanks for replying. Using chargers I already have will save me some money then.

Escalate the ticket with them and ask for a supervisor. There's no reason they need that phone.
I think I will. I didn't have the time or energy to argue with customer service this morning.
How did you kill your charger?

I plugged the charger into a surge-strip and plugged my phone in before I went to bed (battery charging indicator appeared). Woke up and the battery was low and no charging indicator present. I tried another charger and the phone charging indicator appeared. Nothing else plugged into the surge protector was running either, and we didn't have any storms or weird weather last night in AZ.
I tried plugging something else into the Nexus 5 charger... nothing. Tried the Nexus 5 microUSB cable on a different wall adapter and it charged.
So yeah, the wall adapter for my N5 failed. Luckily in the hour before work my 2A charger got the N5 up to 70%. Topped it off to 100% on my wireless charger at work.

What brand was your 2A charger?
Beware: The nexus 5 will charge in USB mode for the 2 amps chargers (and a lot of other ones too). To solve this and charge in AC mode, you will need to buy a "charge-only" USB cable from amazon.
i charge my n5 with my 2012 n7 2 amp charger and all is good it also charges at the expected rate not a slow rate, ive used it every day since i have had the n5 which was the release day

This is interesting. Three questions.
What exactly does it imply in what mode the phone is charging?
How do I know in what mode the phone is charging?
Can I check cables for its purposes without destroying it?

1. AC Mode charges at a much faster rate than USB mode.
2. To check which mode the phone is charging in go to your battery settings and it will display on the top left
3. There is nothing to check with the cables, if you don't know if you have a charge only cable then you don't have one

Hi m8s,
I sold my HTC ONE but I already bought a Universal Charger.
do you think I'll have a problem or will it mess up using this universal 5.0v - 2.0A charger on my LG Nexus 5 32Gb?
Cose in discription it refers compatibility with S4, Note 3 and Nexus7?

I've used my Nexus 7 2012 2A charger and my Anker 2A portable battery pack to charge various different phones including N4, N5 and HTC One without any issues-the phone's charging circuits will not allow them to charge at a higher current than the phone would like.
My worry with that charger would be the quality of it being a cheap Ebay special. Probably won't damage your device but then again it might, plus will it actually charge at 2A anyway?
Using a 5v 2.0 A charger should be fine. USB chargers are all 5V. The nexus 5 comes with a 1.2A charger. Using the 2A charger won't cause any harm because the phone itself draws the current it needs.
However, I did notice that while using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 charger that has an output of 2A, that it started to charge my nexus at 1.5A.
So using a 2A charger over the 1.2A charger that came with the Nexus, will actually charge the phone about .3A faster
But you do have to watch who you buy it from. Some chargers don't output at the rate they are supposed to.

Hey guys!
I've got a Samsung S Charger Pad (Model: EP-P1001EWE) and i am not sure if i should use it to charge my Nexus 5.
It's an inductive charging Pad.
Will it ruin my battery or isn't there any danger?
Facts:
- It does charge
- There didn't come an actual charger with the Qi Pad, so i am running it with my Nexus 5 Charger (which can be plugged into the pad by micro USB)
- My Nexus 5 Charger has an Output of: 5V/1,2A
- The Qi Charger says: Input: 5V/2.0A
Thanks for your help!
The Samsung charger pad uses the Qi standard so you should be fine. The output and input voltage of the charger match so that's okay, but since your charger supplies a lower current than the Qi charger takes, it might charge your phone slower than it should.

The original Google Qi Charger has an input of 9V and 1.8A.
Does that change anything?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
The Qi output should be the same regardless so you should be fine.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
So i can buy a charger with the right output (matching the Pads input) and can use it as normal?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Yep, although unless the pad is currently charging your phone noticeably slower than it takes to charge it by cable, it might not be worth bothering.

It does charge pretty slow... So i ordered one! Thanks for the help! I'll be telling you guys if it was worth it

I almost never trust labels. Try sticking a multimeter to the plug and measure amps and see what you get

I don't have a multimeter It's charging ver very slow and discharging extremely fast
Try to replace your USB cable, 99% of the cases he's the culprit.
Its only 850ma output. It's just a sh1t charger

I think any micro usb cable will work
And for a charger anything that output over 1A / 1000mA but ideally around 1.2A / 1200mA

Hey guys,
Been reading a lot that the lg g5 charger is only quick charger 2.0 compatible. I happened to have a Zenfone 2 fast charger that does give more juice than the stock charger, though I'm not sure if it's quick charge 3.0 compatible.
Charger gives 2 amps for both 9V and 5V. Is this compatible? I'm not too sure, but I recall the qc3.0 chargers have 5V at 3 amps.
Yes. . Stock charger is 1.8 amps. At 5v. It will work. Phone is not shipped with 3.0 charger. I use the 2.0 chargers that came with my s6 edge. It think those are 2.0 amps and work with no issues
