Original charger charging at half speed? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

OK I am understand. Thanks for your reply!

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.

probably gonna be around 49.99 or more up to 99.99, I don't see a point of paying more than 100$ for a charger case while i could get a 40$ juice pack around with me
Hope we get some info on this soon

ZeroLemon battery cover for LG Nexus 4
OP did they say it was for a 2250 battery? Reason that I ask is that on the Amazon link bit stated something less...

I recall seeing three different capacities, presumably different sizes as well.
I don't know how a battery case will work with the nexus 4. Battery isn't removable (consumer-wise). So will it be a case that plugs in to the USB port? Or..
Will it be a chargeable case, with Qi Wireless charging capabilities? *dundundunnnnnn*
I don't even know if that's possible lol :silly:
ZeroLemon battery cover for LG Nexus 4
As it turns out if you go to the full web site it shows a battery cover for 2100, 2250, and 2600mAh. But if you keep on looking it also has a battery for 8400mAh! But I think that you need to have the cover of one of the previous ones I mentioned roads this.... I will check with Zero Lemon tomorrow. Even so I think this is a great product. As for if it will work with the quick charge dock. I would assume so, but I will ask as well.
Oh definitely interested!
I don't see nexus 4 on the website

Neither do I but it might be because I'm on the mobile version and not the full one. I'll check once I get home

There is not even a picture of the case as of now

Looks interesting. I think I'd consider one, although to this point I haven't had much trouble getting through a full work day with my N4.

Nexus 5 charging

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?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
