So if I use the original usb cable that came with the device my phone will charge in about 3 or 4 hours. But if i use any after market usb cables it takes 5 to 6 hours I'm trying find our what is the difference between the two cables. Keep in mind I'm using the same oem charger with both cables.

Your stock charger is 2 amps the ones you are using are most likely 1 amp. You need to find other ones that are 2 amps also.
No I'm using the white 2 amp charger. I have narrowed it down to the cable I'm trying to see if there is something diffrent.

Yeah I just read it again my bad. Is the non oem cable skinnier?
Yeah I'm contacting samsung right now trying to understand exactly what makes there usb cable tick. So far all I got is its the next generation of cable.

Charge only cables vs Charge and data cables. Has been thoroughly discussed in the forums. Go buy a charge only cable and you will see the fastest charging. Just don't try to use it for data. Guage of wires also has a lot to do with how much current can be carried.

Why?

A) Youre charging from a USB port which doesnt supply much power so if you use the phone while its charging the phone drains faster than it charges.
B) Youre using a charger that was originally intended intended for low power devices like bluetooth headsets in which case the same reason already given applies.
Also, wrong section.
Sorry, also I'm using the charger it came with but I'm using 2 USB extention cables

i would imagine that it would probably be one of those extensions that is slowing it down because it cannot handle the AMPs. see which one is "hot" and thats probably the one.
Ill try, thanks

Are you using the phone while it's charging?

What's the purpose of the extention? If you're trying to find a good place for wireless tethering, that could very well be draining your batteries.
Is there anything else you can try charging with the current setup for comparison?

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

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.
Will I be able to wireless charge my nexus 4 without the official wireless charging dock from Google. Here's my hunch I have an Xbox 360 battery pack charger but its wireless one I picked it up for about 10 quid and its in the garage somewhere and I don't wanna be making a meas trying to find it when I can get the answer on here. Can anyone help me will that Xbox 360 battery pack wireless charger be able to charge my nexus 4.

I don't think so because the nexus 4 uses the qi standard and the charger has to be able to do the same. I got an Xbox myself and I don't think that there was a qi standard 7 years ago.
If I helped you, hit the thanks button.

Thanks I just thought that cause the nexus uses a coil wire and so did my battery back for wireless charging. Thanks for the help

I know when I visit my mom, she has a few outlets that will not charge my phone. If it's the same outlet, maybe try a different cord or charger. Some cheaper USB cords just do not work on this phone.
