Charging - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm to receive my nexus 4 today. Should I fully charge before using the phone? Also, my old HTC would bump charge. Does this work on nexus 4 or no?

Doesn't matter really.

Charging

Is it OK to use a phone charger on the Nexus 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
So long as the output voltage is the same. Of course, charging using a phone charger is going to be painfully slow.

Yeah slow compared to the stock charger but these things do charge off the same voltage as phones so there is no problem there.

How about the other way around, could I charge my Galaxy Nexus with the Nexus 7 charger?

Yes. Although the charger is capable of charging at a higher current, the phone is only going to charge at the rate it was meant to. In other words, if the charger is rated at 2A and the phone 1A, it's not going to charge twice as fast.

Using N⁴ while charging.

A quick question, is it okay to use the Nexus 4 while charging? I was using it, and it charges a bit late but just want to ask if it doesn't harm the battery.

Not that I know of, any phone is okay to be used while charging

But it slows the charge speed if we are using it, ryt?

It depends on what you're doing. If you're playing game then it'll charge slowly. But if you're just texting and browsing then that shouldn't be a problem.

Of course it will slow the charge speed, but that's not dangerous.

Taking long to charge

Is any one else having this problem. It takes my phone 6hours to charge to 100% using the provided charger.

That's how my One was and was one of the main reasons I switched to the S4 Active. No such problems here. I forgot to charge it last night and tossed it on at 8am with 40% on it. By 9:15 it was full.

I find its always best to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, data, and sync when charging to get the fastest result.

More then likely its just a short in my cord, but was curious if any one else had the problem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
this is likely a problem with the cord or adapter. your device should be charging much quicker than this. have you tried another cable?
Even with everything turned on it should not take that long. For the whole 6 hours did it say it was charging?

New MF4 international ROM? If so it charges slow with screen on. Still shouldn't be that slow though. Download Galaxy Charging Current lite and see if the your getting between 1200 and 1900 mA

The s4 is probably the fastest charging phone I've ever had.. It charges to full from any percentage in about an hour.. Maybe bad outlet?

I checked the continiuty in the wire and was getting a lot of resistance. Bought a new cord.

Nexus 7 v1 Charger with 2013?

Is it safe to use the original Nexus 7's charger with the new 2013 model?
Unless I'm mistaken, it will only allow what amperage it can use. So I'm thinking that if the max it can take is 1.3, then even on a 2, only 1.3 passes. Maybe wrong.

I have been using the original Nexus charger. It charges faster and so far I've not had any problems.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Cool I've been using one too and it seems to be working fine. Was just a little worried it would do something weird or something.
I used it over night and had no heat issues.

This is correct, it will only take the amperage it is coded for, no matter the amperage of the charger itself.

Yes, as long as your tablet's wireless charging contacts were properly assembled. A lot of people are having issues getting wireless charging to work at all because of poor QC.

Saw a guy in another thread said support told him to go into boot loader restart bootloader and then reboot and it worked after that. Easy enough to try?
