Can I charge my n10 with my Samsung Galaxy S3 charger??

Figured I'd ask to see if that'd be OK before I did some damage.
Also could I do the reverse, charge my S3 with the n10 charger??
Thanks!!

Yes you can. They both use a standard Micro USB charger. Any other previous blackberry or android phone you may have lying round will also work

Sure you can.. But it might charge slowly if the power adapter isn't able to output 2A @ 5v

I'm using my S3 charger now on my N10. Charge time is the same.

Output seems to be 5W, 2.1 A over two ports. Looks like ~default specifications to me. Should cause no problem.
If you want to double check, take a pic of the output specs that are usually written on the charger and post it. I'll verify.

Its ExtremeMac Universal USB-WAL-11 AC Adapter.
Model: USB-WAL-11
Power Specification, I got from the website.
Input Voltage: 110 V AC
220 V AC
Frequency: 50 Hz
60 Hz
Output Voltage: 5 V DC
Maximum Output Power: 10 W
Very sorry, cannot post a picture , because I am on travel right now and I wasn't able to bring it with me.

-from the Play store link for a N4 power adapter.
This matches your charger perfectly, so no problems.
You can use the xtrememac charger, without any hesitation.

Wondering if these kind of charger has auto shutoff when the battery is full ? I usually leave my phone charging overnight.

Almost all chargers ( unless they're cheap knockoffs ), have auto-off these days.
That charger looks like it's high-quality stuff and they've claimed support for various other devices in the description too (including LG devices).
I think we can be sure that it has auto-off.

Thanks so much for enlightened me thanks for your help and suggestions.

Yup, perfectly safe to use with the N4. Have fun wherever you're travelling, and forget about the charger...

Thanks again for your help.

Understand that, that's over two ports so you use 1 port to charge the phone which is 2.1amp and you'll be charging around 1800mAh so you're going to be fine.

LG Nexus 4 slow charging

Do you guys notice the LG wall charger that came with the phone seem to charge more slowly that others? I tried charging my Nexus 4 with a samsung charger and it charge at least twice as fast compared to the LG that came with the phone.

There's a reason this phone has a smaller battery. Therefore they'll use a less amped charger. For instance it takes longer to charge my note 2 than my nexus 4 does. Our LG charger is only 1amp. My note 2 is a 2amp hence 2x faster.

But why would they make it charge slow. I just don't see the benefit in doing that and the charger I use is a galaxy s2 charger. The battery size is not much different.

Check the specs on that charger. And it's more efficient.

The output on the LG is 5v, 1.2A and the output on the Samsung is 5v, 1A. It seems the LG is suppose to output more, yet it charges more slowly. I also notice sometimes with the LG charger the phone switch to usb mode.

Probably due to USB cords I have no issues at all with charging.

How long does it take you to charge your phone to full?

I noticed my charger got slower too. I swapped the cable and it charges fast again. The cable that the charger comes with got faulty, but I can't really notice anything when inspecting it.

[Q] Can i use this to charge my nexus? 5v 3a Converter

Can i use this to charge my nexus 7 in dash in my 2004 wrx? Gonna leave it plugged in all the time as it will be installed in the dash.

I know the stock charger is 2a, does 1 more amp make a difference?

The Nexus 7 like most devices has a current limiter on board so a 3 amp 5 volt supply will be fine.

3a is a max current, not a working current so it should be ok.

If it were me, I would have the 5 volt supply on a switched circuit. Charging while the car is running will keep it topped up, and I am leary of leaving any battery always charging.

Hi,
Are you sure it's not the cable that is causing the problem? Does the device uses the whole current when charging from the factory wall charger? It's either this or your Powerbank doesn't give you the proper current.

using the cable on a wall chargee gives me 1200mAh average
1900mAh maximum
so i don't think it's an issue.
furthermore, I am able to chage an iPad using the same powerbank and it charges nicely.
i was just thinking i saw something in before where it changes the current from USB.
well thanks anyway. i guess i'll have to replace ny powerbank
