Nexus 5 charging - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The nexus 5's charge has a 5.0v output (correct me if im wrong) so here the question is it ok to charge it with a 5.3v output powerbank?

Yes. Your phone regulates the current supplied to the battery so 5.3v will be fine.
You only risk damage of you go stupid voltages

Honestly, I'd personally play it safe and use the exact charging brick that the phone came with. Even in the Nexus 5 manual LG opposes of the use in using another charger other than the one the Nexus 5 comes with.

I used to use my wife's charger for he xperia z1s but I found that sometimes it would not charge even though it has the same specs so I would watch it and make sure it is charging correctly.

Why my Nexus S i9023 cannot be charged to 100%?

As the title said, my phone was never charged to 100%, it is always 96% or 97% mostly. Anyone can tell me the reason?

They only charge to 96-98 for real. It is very unsafe to actually charge these batteries to 100% when it does chargd to 100% it usually drops to 98 when unplugged. 100% is more for looks.

G2x charger amperage?

I have 2 LG chargers that I got mixed up. Can someone please tell me the amperage on there wall charger? .2 or. 16?

1000ma out
Thank you.

Doesn't actually matter anyway. I use a 5v 1200mah Nokia one quite often. The phone will only draw the amps it needs. It's quite possible that it's capable of using the full 1200 and charges faster.
My stock g2x charger was 700mah.. But my hd2 charger (the one that I'm still using cause of its folding breakaway design) its 1000mah.

I bought a 2-amp car charger to make sure I'm getting as rapid a charge as possible when I'm driving.

How does the wireless orb work?

This video shows the phone wasn't charging when it was unplugged
What's the point of having to plug in the wireless orb, isn't it supposed to be wireless
Just confused here

How else you going to get power from the wall?
It charges the phone without wires thus a wireless charger....

Not sure if serious.
It runs on 4 AA batteries. They charge the phone for an hour and then need to be changed.

Best thread ever.

Original charger charging at half speed?

Recently my original charger only charges at 700ma vs the original 1200-1300 ma before. Now my phone charges half as fast, which is an annoyance but not a huge problem. Anyone got any ideas?

I had the same problem from day 1 when i received the phone. I contacted Google and they wanted me to send them the complete set of phone and box to send me a replacement. I simply used an older usb charger that came with my older phone.
I think its a quality or defect problem.

Just out of curiosity, how are you measuring the current draw?

Really? How do you see the "absolute" input current? I thought bmw only showed the difference between the charge and drain currents...

That is normal and avoids damaging the circuitry

its either your charger or wire. ive had it happen on a bunch of phones, and its a fairly common question asked on xda. try a different wall charger and different usb chord, and different plug(in case).
Yup, try using the stock charger. Aftermarket chargers can also cause touch screens issues.

stock chargers as well. ive always had my issues with the chargers that the devices came with.
Wow strange, from all the posts I've read here it seems that it is mostly aftermarket chargers that cause the issues. Regardless, it is definitely a charger issue, but without spending any money OP should use the stock charger he already has before investing in another one.
