Home/Car Micro USB Charger

There are many options for micro USB car and home chargers out there. Is there any worry that the chargers are not the right configuration for the Nexus One? I don't want a $10 charger blowing up my $600 phone.
For example, can I buy a Blackberry micro USB charger and safely use it on my N1?

Yes... a Blackberry charger will work perfectly, but I think only puts out 700mA, so it'll take a little longer to charge than the 1000mA charger the phone comes with.
I suggest going to monoprice.com. From there you can buy a 1000mA car charger and wall charger both made for USB cables. You can also buy the USB cable with the microUSB connector. I bought 2 cables and one of each charger for a total of about $9.

[Q] Is this actually an OEM Charger

Hello,
I bought this charger off ebay and the seller claims that it is a OEM samsung charger. When I try charging my tablet I get a red X over the battery and it takes forever to charge. I have read that this usually happens when not using the OEM charger. So I am wondering if this is in fact a OEM charger or if I have a different issue.

Yep thats a OEM charger for your tablet, mine does the X when charging some times but it does a full charge in about 2-3 hours.

Thanks for the reply. Mine does the X but it takes 6-8 hours to fully charge. Anything I can do to get it to charge faster?

Is the seller buzzz or something? I got two from them with the same problem. I think that it may work with their "OEM" cable, but not with real OEM ones. I compared the chargers they sent me to the one that came with a GT2, and they were slightly different. The writing is different in size, the removable plug stuck out a bit when I changed it from one to the other, and the top plastic plate (the area around the USB jack) was thicker on the one they sent me. But without the two next to each-other, not easy to tell the difference.
As someone else suggested, getting or making that adapter will probably take care of it. There are instructions on here for how to make that adapter, something about either cutting or shorting the center pins on a cable. That would make the cable not usable for data though. You could search for USB charging in the GT+ or GT2 forum.

Yes, the seller was bzzybees or something like that. They sent me two chargers and neither of them work. I plugged my brother OEM charger into my tablet and it charges like normal so I am guessing he isn't selling OEM chargers.

Yep, I guess the best thing would be to report it to ebay. I didn't because I had an extra cable so I just figured I'd make it work. Haven't worked on it yet though.

I changed the original line after charging much faster

oem charger

hello all. other than paying for the OEM charger that comes with the phone can anyone recommend an aftermarket one that charges just as fast as the OEM.

They are only 10-11 bucks shipped all over ebay. Not worth trying to scrimp another few bucks...just buy the OEM.

You can get any of these - http://www.capdase.com/en/custom_product.php?custom_product_id=28
I bought this one to charge my S2 and S4 - Dual USB Power Adapter Ampo R2_World Plug
http://youtu.be/t2I-8pPde6I
It can be used to charge a phone and a tablet together as well! (one USB has 1 amp output, the other has 2.1A!!! )

Amazon has the samsung OEM charger for Cheap:

I bought this dual port 3.6 amp wall charger from Amazon (Anker) but i can't seem to find it anymore. But it works great:

On Amazon, there are also quad port chargers that are 4+ amps.

[Q] Working USB car charger while navigating

Since I already tried 4 USB car chargers (Osungo Carjuice 2.1A, Belkin 2.1A, Ewent 2.1A, Belkin 1A) with several USB cables (my intention is to use this cable I got from dx.com), but none of the combinations succeeded in charging my N5 while using navigation on the road.
In the settings menu -> battery all of them display Charging (AC) when plugged in my car.
During night time they keep the battery around the same level and during day time the battery percentage even slowly drops.
I'm going to perform some measurements later today with Battery Monitor Widget and/or Currentwidget to get some numbers.
The stores close-by only sell this stuff for ridiculous prices, so I spent enough money on gas already. I haven't ordered anything online yet since it seems nothing is guaranteed to work and therefore I don't want to deal with the hassle of return processes plus shipping costs.
The only car charger that does work is the charger that came with my Galaxy Nexus car holder, but I never liked that charger since it doesn't have a coiled cable so the cable is all over the place across your dash and it has no universal USB connection to charge all kind of devices in your car.
Also I'm looking for a solution which doesn't require soldering of some sort.
Does the USB car charger + coiled USB cable which I'm looking for even exist and why is it so hard to just get a working car charger for your N5?

Today I did some measurements with Currentwidget and the problem lies in the cable which I got from Dealextreme.
When I tested with the USB cable which came with the N5 all chargers work fine.
Now I hope I can find a coiled USB cable which works just like the original N5 cable for a decent price.
Found one from Mediabridge, but it seems this cable isn't available in the Netherlands and on Ebay shipping costs are insane.

Does the 1A charger still charge the phone while navigating? Or is a 2.1A charger needed?

Both can charge the phone while navigating, as long as you use the right cable.
Very annoying since there is no way to tell which cable is good and which cable is not good.
This was also noticed in the following threads:
[Q] Terrible charge rate?
Need good car charger recommendations please
Discharging while using Navigation

Tried the cable which came with the HTC OEM Car Charger CC C200, together with a 2.1mAh car charger and it barely charged the N5 while navigating. The charging level went up 1% in about 25 minutes time, in comparison if you use the cable which came with the N5 the level will have gone up around 15-20%.
The Mediabridge cables (such as this one) should suffice (available on Amazon and Ebay).
Since those are not available in Europe and shipping costs are way too high, I now found an alternative from Speedlink. Hopefully this one will work just as good as the original N5 USB cable.

I am using PowerGen 2.1A car charger with 3' Samsung OEM usb cable and able to charge the phone while using Navigation, brightness at full, and streaming tune-in on LTE. Very happy with the setup.
I had a monoprice 10' usb cable, the thick version with cap on ends, the 3' samsung oeum usb cable works much better. Testing on my old phone Optimus G Pro, there are about +200mA improvement using the 3' samsung oem usb cable over the monoprice 10' usb cable. so make sure to use the shortest usb cable possible.

I need an original s5 charger oem

Does anybody know where I can find a genuine s5 USB 3.0 charger with the wall adapter? All the ones on amazon are Samsnugs.

I have a couple of S5 OEM USB 3.0 cables lying around, and the OEM S5 wall adapter too. I can sell it to you if you like.

bought a phone off swappa that came with usb 2.0 charger and bought a single 3.0 charger for around 8 or 9 bucks

This ET-DQ10Y0EW cable now cost less that 2EUR on eBay.
If this get shipped from any other place in the world other than China, the shipping cost would be higher that the value of the cable.
