I was wondering if these docks had enough juice to charge our N7 tablets? I have the AS851 that I have been using with my Galaxy Nexus but when I put the N7 on there it doesn't charge it.
bump in case any of you guys are in the same situation

I have the AS351and that does not charge the Nexus 7 but works fine with the Galaxy nexus. Very disappointing.
You might be right about the charging capacity. I just noticed the standard Asus brick is 2amps!

I read the specs on the docks and they push out 2A from both the micro-usb and usb port on the back. No idea why it doesn't charge the N7. The microUSB is long enough..it gives a good click when the N7 sits on it. I haven't tried a charging cable only to connect. I don't have one. All mine are data-sync/charging cables.
I don't know if any of the custom kernels for the N7 have "fast charging" as an option/enabled, but I wonder if that would help?

Hi did the N7 actually not charge, or did it simply not say it was charging?
There's a thread on XDA which compares cables/chargers, and unless the USB data pins are connected together the N7 does not show the charging symbol, but would still charge (possibly at a slower rate).
EDIT- ok...not sure if y'all have found this out but the fidelio does in fact charge the N7, just doesn't show a charging icon. And it charges it soooooo slooooowww :-/ It's been on the fidelio for 1/2 hour with only 5% increase. That makes me nervous, so off the fidelio it comes.
Have we determined if the fidelio does in fact charge the N7 but doesn't show it as charging?

Any idea why I can't seem to charge my Nexus 7 with my car charger?
i have both a generic Micro USB charger and I have one of the dual USB ports that you put into the cigarette lighter. It wont even acknowledge that I have plugged anything into it.
i have used the USB port to charge MANY different cell phones my old Dell Streak 7 and even a friends iPad.
Any ideas?

I think the N7 needs 2A to charge. a single USB is 500 mA and the dual 1A, so I don't think there's enough power.
Also check if the output of your microUSB cigarette charger is 2A

This one will work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0090SVY3K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
It charges at the same rate as the stock AC charger.
The N7 is one picky device for charging. I have several chargers for the car that charge the iPad but not one will charge the N7. Same as AC chargers. This set works for me

This is what I use and it works just fine. I use it to charge my N7, GNote, Nook Color or my grandsons IPhone and it works equally well on all of them.
BTW, it prime available if you are a member.

It only charges via usb when the screen is off or when the device is off. Try plugging it in checking the battery % leave it awhile and then recheck the battery % you may find its gone up!

How are those who've got their N10 finding the charging speed? Mine arrived yesterday and has been charging very slowly, as the reviews had said.
In six hours last night on charge whilst left on standby, it charged about 20%. Is everybody else finding a similar situation?
I'm looking forwards to the pogo-pin chargers/docks being released, which will hopefully charge a bit faster! If anybody knows how to hack something together to make use of the faster charging speed on the pogo connection then please do share! :good:
Of course, you have to look at the amperage and watt of your power supply. Even among the AC powered chargers, they vary greatly, and here you are talking about charging this behemoth with a measly powered USB.

If it takes 6 hours to charge 20% on a 2amp charger than that is seriously messed up.

Not messed up, just physics. There's an awful lot of resistance in a 9000MaH battery, and a standard microUSB (or even full-sized USB) connector can't handle the amperage that a faster charge would require. Which is why most big tablets had proprietary connectors up to this point.
But guess what? Google and Samsung knew this, it's why the N10 has one too, we just don't have the cable for it yet.
Pogo charger is coming, supposed to be at least twice as fast. Don't know why it was delayed, but most likely either a certification issue, or worry about Apple suing for it being too much like a Mag Safe connector.

Are the slow speeds people are getting from the wall charger our from a pc connection?
Are you saying a powered USB hub is charging it quicker than the mains charger supplied?
Thank you

I don't even charge phones via normal USB on PC anymore, let alone a tab. I've found the charging time on the N10 to be ok, provided the screen is off and also if I'm downloading something it seems to slow the charging down. Other than that it's not lightning fast, sure, but I'm ok with it. And so much the better when they release the pogo charger.
charged mine over night yesterday from 10% to full wall mains, but when the screen is one it doesn't seem to charge just maintains current charge which is a bit annoying

Try turning anything that uses power off (i.e)...turn the screen brightness the lowest it will go, turn the tablet on airplane mode. Turn the sounds off.
I find that helps my phone charge faster, maybe this will help with the tablet.
Are you talking about charging via USB on a PC, or via the PSU?
Through the PC will be very slow at a maximum of 500mA, but the PSU should be able to power it? My N7 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 had 2A chargers - what does the N10 come with?
I am regretring more and more buying this. I haven't received mine yet but the amount of pixels is kind of ridiculous. I would have been happy with 1920x1200 with that beasyly hardware. Saw a review that said their battery only lasted 4 hours because of the insane power the screen sucks away.
Also the fact that this pogo charger will probably cost $50+ and it is something that should have been standard either way.
Oh Asus infinity..why must your I/O be so god awful. You were almost the perfect tablet

Yeah charging is slow, though not as bad as 20% in 6 hours! I think mine was charging faster than that even when I was using it. I think trade off is worth it though with the microUSB connector.
The iPad 3/4 is no better... Takes forever to charge

Hi,
I just bought a Nexus 7 and noticed that it has a different charger than the Android smartphones I have, e.g. Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. However, the connection is still the same.
My question is, is it safe to use a smartphone charger with my Nexus 7, just to have less stuff lying around? Is it safe to use the 7's charger with my smartphone? Will I break my devices if I do it?
Thanks!
Perfectly safe. The Nexus charger puts out slightly more current than most phones, worst case it will charge them slightly faster, just as a phone charger will be a little shower with the tablet.

You won't break your devices, but it would take an extraordinarily long time to charge your N7 with the phone's charger. Conversely, the phone is not going to charge exponentially faster using the tab's charger. So, all in all, wile it's not ideal, you won't be hurting anything.

So I can just keep my Nexus 7 charger and use it for every other gadget, and put the other chargers into a drawer? That's nice to know, thanks guys.

The phone won't charge any faster using the N7 charger, but the tablet on the phone charger would be significantly slower- to the point that even moderate use while plugged in would result in still draining the battery. Assuming no use while charging, the tablet would require several hours more than normal for a full charge.

I disagree, my galaxy prevail charges twice as fast on my n7 charger than with a standard phone/car charger. However my n7 does take forever on the phone/car charger. Literally like 8hrs+ to reach 100%.

Check the 'mA' or 'A' rating on the charger.. The higher it is, the faster it will charge.
the charger I got bundled with Nexus 7 is outputing 2A (2000mA to be exact), which is quite higher than most phone chargers
(I've got chargers with standard 500mA & with 800mA).
I've been using the Nexus 7 charger for charging my ZTE Blade and nothing seems wrong using it..
A phone's charging circuit will automatically restrict the current to the specs needed by the phone.
PS: 'A' stands for 'Amperes' & 'mA' stands for 'milli Amperes ', both are units of measuring current.
Hi Anybody!
I have a Nexus 10 - which works normally by the way for the past 2 weeks now.
Unfortunately, today I was playing with a certain solitaire app while the battery is already in RED territory (a few % battery life remaining) while the Nexus 10 is connected to my PC via USB.
Since the USB charge is only 1 Ampere, I am aware that the charging is weaker (or slower) than draining since the screen is on and an app is being used. But my assumption is that the worse thing that could happen is that the tablet just goes dead and should be able to re-charge normally after.
However, my tablet has been connected with a 1-Amp (Galaxy S3 micro USB Charger) for the past 30 minutes and until now the charging logo is not popping. When I press the power button all I see is the Empty Battery Logo (Gray) with a Lightning Logo (black) with no animation (animation - emphasizing that the battery is charging) ... I am currently worried that the tablet went on a full-drain and is now one piece of useless sh*t.
Should I leave it alone for the next hour to see what happens? Because I sense that this is not normal, and by now the battery logo should be showing some animation that it is actually charging.... HEEEEEEEELLLLP
Btw I am using GS3 Charger because the Nexus 10 Charger (2.5Amp) uses a 110 voltage, however we only use 220 volts here at home (non US country).
Someone please advise... thanks!

Are you sure about that? Because my charger will take from 100V-240V.
Try to get an adapter. At least for my Lumia900 I need the original charger to wake it from the dead .

I am definitely sure it's only 110 Volts because I bought the Nexus 10 from the US and it says in the adapter "110"... while the other adapters from the Galaxy Note and S3 Chargers says "110-240" just like yours... so i wouldn't want to risk plugging the Nexus 10 charger adapter to a 220V outlet and risk busting the adapter.. or worse the Nexus 10 tablet.
Currently, I am asking someone to look for that damn forsaken 220-to-110V transformer which I used for the "Play Station 1" a decade ago... just imagine..... how long that was. I hope that transformer still works.... or I'll be damned. as of writing, the symptoms of my tablet still remains the same..... F*CK~!

HELL YEAH! Nexus 10 is now working. The issue is simply that the tablet over drained so drained that it has no power to display the batter logo animating to show it's charging.... Lesson Learned, Patience!
Moderators you may now close this thread.
To Samsung / Google: Please distribute your Pogo Chargers ASAP! Also, a question has been lingering in my head, What if you connect the Pogo Charger and USB Charger at the same time to your Nexus 10? What will happen?
Off topic but phone arena just said that the battery life on the Nexus 10 is way better than the battery life on the ipad 4. Weird, I feel that the Nexus 10 is about the same as my ipad 3 was, maybe slightly better. Twice as good though, definitely not mine. Does anyone have this crazy battery life version?
Hi guys,
currently having a problem with my xbox 360 charging my Nexus 4...
basically i put my nexus on charge (usb cable from xbox 360) over night and it clearly said its charging, so i woke up the next morning and the battery % was as i left it, but it still clearly says charging? this has happen to me twice this week... has anyone else had a problem like this?
forgot to mention, i have always charged my mobile devices using the xbox 360 and never had any problems before...
Maybe try other cables?
I have had similar issues with phones in the past where certain cables worked and some didn't.
accidently gave u a thx I had this problem with all my phones trying to charge them with my PS3 or PC. With my PS it charged 1-2% and with my PC a bit slower than normally. I think its the bad electricity supply over usb

I had similar issues while charging through my laptop, My phone would say charging, meanwhile it would be discharging
I think it has to do with the phone using more power than the port is giving out. Basically some apps you have one your phone is using so much battery that the charger is not charging because the required power to run the phone is greater than the charge is giving. I'm thinking this is becasue the phone has so much RAM that all the background apps are using more and more power. It's like charging a Laptop through your Xbox USB port, the laptop uses WAY too much power for it to be getting charged through a measly USB port.
Nonetheless, I stopped charging my phone through my laptop and just plugged it in the wall. It charges way faster anyway (my charging usually takes 2 hours when it's really low to full battery)
Even if it does charge, it's not likely to charge well; the Nexus 4's charger is 1.2 amps. The Xbox USB ports likely put out less than half that. Unless you have an S model, in which case the rear "Kinect" port is "high-powered," which likely means 1.0 amps.
I'm charging off my AirPort Extreme without issue...albeit it slow. Since I charge at night, it's a non-issue. OP, have you tried swapping USB cable?
Does the Xbox 360 temporarily disable its USB port if you try to pull to much power from them?
The Nexus 4 requires more than what is supplied...
uberSlackr could be right, normal usb ports are 5volts,500mah, so 5 volts standby, you should be able to charge even at a slow rate, windows 7 has an option to turn off usb ports to save power unless you disable it.maybe xbox has a similar power saving function.
samsung s2 max charging rate is at 650mah, my nexus charger is 1.2amps, so 1 amp draws too much.
