I need an extra USB cable for charging my N4 in my car because I use a Scosche dual USB charger 2.1 amp. Will any USB cable be fine like the one in the link below or should I be looking for anything specific? I don't want something to mess up my N4 battery.

Is there anywhere that sells the original LG travel charger?

I was wondering the same thing. I'd like to get a couple extra USB wall chargers and micro USB cables to go with them. I'd like it to be as efficient and safe as possible for my Nexus 4 as well as friends that may need a charger. (N4 taking priority here)

Well as long as the power supplied is 5V (the usb standard) and under 1.2 amp (the output of the factory wall adaptor) you should be safe not burning out your phone. If you are just asking about a usb to micro usb cable then it shouldn't matter since the cable should supply the right voltage anyways.

The phone will only take the amps that it needs. I would get a 2A+ charger to be on the safe side.

Call me crazy/oc/weird but I bought this: http://www.buychina.com/items/lg-f1...p880-original-line-charge-charger-qrwrvpsqjhm
I'm perfectly aware I can use other chargers and cables but I like to have an oem extra if I need it. 10usd and 2 weeks wait isn't so bad

I use this with my nexus 4
http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Dual...71&sr=8-1&keywords=powergen+dual+port+charger
Actually used it for my Nexus 7 and when I got my Nexus 4 I always used it for that. Never even bothered opening up my stock charger or cable. Dual port is nice if you want to charge 2 devices at 1 amp each without having a bunch of chargers plugged in.

Woah! Thanks man! I've been looking everywhere for this! Haha
I love the OEM USB Cable, especially cause it fits with all of my cases.
I would love to get the OEM charger, but after my current one acting up (usb wire for some reason keeps making it say usb charging despite being plugged into wall outlet), I'm cautious.

This is one of the reasons I bought the oem charger. Had the ac/usb issue. Changed wires and still does that. Used my gnex charger and it didn't give me problems. So I said it must be the charger itself. Bought the new one and now I'm confident when plugging my phone in. No more issues on the ac/usb charging thing

Hmm... for me, I changed the wires and it works. I think I would rather just save the $10 and put it towards the "wheneveritisreleased" Wireless Charging Orb.....or the TYLT VU when it comes out in April.
Hi guys, I have a few micro USB chargers lying around. Just wondering if using these would harm my N4:
12 V, 500mA
5 V, 2.1 A
5 V, 1.9 A
5 V, 1 A
The 12 V 500mA charger makes my phone's screen go haywire (applications opening and closing by themselves) but it does charge the phone.

at least you narrowed it down fast to the wire. in my case after swapping just the wires it was still the same. then when i used the original n4 charger on my gnex, my gnex suddenly had the ac/usb charging issue. my problem with not getting another charger was i sometimes charge both phones at the same time so i needed one more. good thing a couple of searches led me to the buychina site and now all works well.
I am very interested in this topic as I believe I'm going to need a new USB > MicroUSB cable. My cat accidentally knocked off my N4 while it was charging using the original cable/charger. While it seems the charger itself is okay, the cable is what I am worried about. The end seems slightly bent and, while it will plug into the N4 (which will report charging) it doesn't go as "easily". From visual inspection I think the problem is with the cable's microUSB end; I really hope that the N4's socket itself is not bent/damaged in anyway, but I cannot see any visual signs thereof.
I was really hoping to pick up another OEM charging kit, but it appears that (assuming they are legit ) that one can only find them on Taobao/ChinaBuy as linked above? I was hoping Amazon would have them. With this in mind, will there be anything specific to look for finding another "USB to MicroUSB cable" from Amazon to use with the existing, undamaged OEM charger? Thanks.
I'm no expert but I believe there shouldn't be any issue of you get a different cable. I've used an HTC, Samsung and Asus calls with the LG charger and there aren't any issues. If it's just the cable you need, go with Amazon. It'll be faster

Great, thanks. It seems logical that all "USB A > MicroUSB B" cables should be capable of the same thing, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something that would say, impair my ability to use this cable for not only charging with the OEM wall charger, but charging from my PC's USB ports, connecting to said PC via USB Debugging for rooting/flashing etc...

Oh just by looking at different cases and then someone from xda mentioned that site. Did some searching and I saw it had the chargers too. Couldn't find it on eBay or Amazon before. Haven't checked lately though

I am currently using a Trent car charger with a LG OEM micro usb cable, charging at 5V at 1A. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009HD44US/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1
For travel and and backup, I use a genuine LG Travel Charger with a LG OEM micro USB Cable, which also charges at 5V at 1A. http://www.theaccessoryking.com/lg-accessories/travel-chargers/ssad0033801/travel-charger-wusb-charging-cable-micro-usb-platform.html

DUDE!!!! The 12V charger can KILL your phone.. The phone is designed for 5volts..
As long as the charger supplies 5 volts it is okay... even a 10 amp charger will work fine (if availiable ).. The current is controlled by the device (nexus 4 in this case).. It will draw how much current it requires.. Voltage on the other hand is decided by the charger.... 12volts will fry the device...

Oops, thanks for this heads up! I've used the 12V charger for weeks without any noticeable damage (though the screen goes haywire when it is plugged in). I'll switch to the original N4 charger now.
I would like a 6' cable to charge my tablet, I ordered one and it will do data transfer but will not charge unless the tablet is turned off. I tried an extension and got the same result when used with my factory charger/cable. Would an adapter work?

Probably due to the voltage drop on the longer cables. This would not be as bad if the tablet is powered off.

I don't think so, It will work with good efficacy ,
Because with the increase of length , resistance of the current will increase too...
I suggest you not to play with your gadgets,
Try to purchase some new adapter from authentic Samsung shop, with big length of wire
Got a couple of 3 meter long charge cables off a once a day site. Work brilliantly for power but not so good for data... Only a few $ too..
I will just order a few adapters as I have a few heavy guage 6' micro sd cables and I only want it for charging .
These sure are picky about the cables.
I purchased this 6ft cable from a local store and it charges wonderfully.

I never thought of doing that. I have a few spare USB extension cables laying around. I will have to try it out ut.

How about a custom kernel with fast charge? Are you using the stock wall adapter and USB cable? Their outputs matter

If everything fails, flash stock back on... See if it still does it. If it does, its cord, charger or USB port is damaged and loose.
I have a problem.. everytime i plug in my phone to charge, its using standard charging. EVERYTIME. When that happens, I restart my phone which fixes the issue.. All cords are plugged in fully. I just dont understand this...
I had same problem just changed charging cable and fixed problem...i try connecting it again the note 5 charger after few days but still with cable charging and no go still using note 4 cable on note 5

Their has to be a problem with the Samsung usb cables. Both of my Samsung fast chargers only use normal charging when using the Samsung usb cable. But when I use a different usb cable fast charging works every time.

Thats ridiculous... so youre telling me that we bought a $750 device and expected that everything inside the box would work properly but instead some or all of the samsung usb cable is faulty?
Send it back for warranty?

I mean if the usb cable is the problem
Wouldnt the issue still persist...? I dont see why i would send my phone in to warranty..
I know I have usb cables all over the place so it's not really a issue for me. Plus I have a fast wireless charger also which works great too.

As another Nexus 10 convert I'm really missing my POGO cable. Between my N10 and Shamu with Qi I haven't plugged a device in in years.
Is there a trustworthy magnetic charging cable? Or maybe I'll have to install a Qi receiver...?
