I have a droid razr and that phone comes with a phone charger that has 2 usb ports on it so you can simultaneously charge 2 devices. Last night I ran both my droid razr maxx and my Nexus 7 on that charger. I woke up in the morning after about 7-8 hrs of charging to find that my nexus 7 had only charged to approx 40% over night while my razr was completely full. Did this happen because I was not using the nexus "stock" 2amp charger or are there other issues at play here? Thanks for the replies.
I use my Samsung phone charger because it's the one plugged up beside my bed. I'm pretty sure it is a 1.0 amp and it charges just fine. I also use my Samsung car charger with the N7.

Unless your charger can provide at least 1A to both ports simultaneously, then it's probably a 1A charger but the 1A is split between both ports (effectively making it 500mA to each port when both ports are in use). It's been determined that with the stock cable, the Nexus 7 can only draw 1A (even though it comes with a 2A charger) so to get the same charging performance as the stock charger, your other charger should provide at least 1A to whatever port it's plugged into.

Will it charge the Nexus 7 ?
Since the battery life of the phone is quite poor it's only natural that i would like to charge it when i'm on class or with an usb cable when im using my laptop, using other usb chargers/cables, but on the manual says (of course) that we should only use it with the lg charger that comes in the box or an official nexus 4 charger .
It kinda sounds like bullsh*t until i remember what happened with my motorola milestone, sometimes when i used another charger the screen started doing crazy things, like swipping the homescreens by itself , oppening apps, until i charged it for at least a few minutes with the official charger, some months later my digitalizer died, so you can imagine how traumatized i am, but then i think what's the point of trying to make a standard out of microusb chargers if we can only use the official charger? what do you guys think?
I find battery life to be very good.
I have been using an old HTC charger on mine without issue though. I suspect the 'only use LG charger' is to cover themselves in case you kill the device with a cheap and badly made knock off.

AW: We can only use the LG charger?
I have literally problems in draining my battery, running Franco's Kernel and Minco v6.
Anyway, using another charger should be no problem. I used the charger of my Asus Transformer and a mobile charger in my car without issues.

Feel free to use any USB wallcharger you'll find.
I tried some i had laying around (HTC, iPhone 5, iPad) and they all charged without trouble.. :good:
Yeah, I've used a 1A HTC charger with no issue. I accidentally left my lg charger at a friends house and had to use what I had.
the battery life is good, better than s2 with its extended battery, i was wondering about this too as i want to use a sony rx100 at 2amps to charge while im traveling.
on page 168 of the service manual it states the max charging current is set at 900mah, over voltage protection upto 28volts
The current should be controlled by the phone, not the charger. Therefore there shouldn't be a problem with more powerful chargers. The voltage has to be correct, though
The phone certainly regulates the power it takes.
If you are really worried about the chargers just flip them over and read the output ratings. Most of them are exactly the same these days.

I use my GNex charger with no problems.
P.s- the battery life on this device is outstanding, you just need to find the kernel that works well on your device

Any USB charger will work. Note the output current on the charger though, as that will impact how fast it can charge and whether or not you can have the screen on while you charge. The LG charger that comes with the phone is 5v 1.2a, an iPhone charger (at least as of the 4S when I got mine) is 5v 1a and an Amazon Kindle charger is 5v 0.85a. The USB 2.0 spec calls out a max power output of 5v 0.5a.

I'm confused , the lg nexus 4 charger is 5.0v 1.2A and my galaxy nexus charger which i use sometimes with my nexus 4 is 5.0V 1.0A , what does this mean? what's the difference?
My Nexus 4 is on the way so i cant comment on that but my Sony Xperia S acts differently to different USB leads even on the same charge unit. It might charge at 500mAh or 950mAh (on a charger rated at 850mAh), the screen might be fine or it might act erratic and it all depends on the lead plugged in to the charger
I used Samsung/blackberry chargers and they worked. Not sure if they were as efficient though.
I pretty much use anything but the LG charger and have been doing so over a month. So feel free to use any quality charger you like.
I also charge of my Philips Qi pad and off computer USB ports.
As long as it's providing stable power or anything close to it, it's good.
Just be careful with (fake) cheapo chargers. Those might cause issues with the touchscreen going haywire while charging off them. I've also read that about some car chargers, but so far my cheap 2A 2port USB car charger that came of DX is working fine for me.
YMMV of course. But there is no need to stick to just the LG charger.
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a second-hand Nexus 10 on craigslist. The previous owner lost the original charger. Hence I only got a Nexus 7 (2012) charger as a replacement. The Nexus 7 charger also has 5V/2A output, which seems to be exactly the same as that of the Nexus 10 charger. But I still wish to buy an original charger. For one thing, the Nexus 7 charger is terribly slow, charging only 10% per hour. For another, it seems the original charge is irreplaceable when the battery is completely used up. See the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40647219
Does anyone has any suggestions where to buy an original N10 charger?
Many thanks!
I would like to know as well.

While this is not the exact Nexus 10 OEM charger, Samsung sells this USB wall charger that is listed under the accessories section for the Nexus 10 on there official website.
Smasung Galaxy Tab chargers are the same than Nexus 10 stock chargers. I had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and its chargers was exactly the same (same p/n) than the Nexus 10 charger.
After getting my wifes Nexus 7 rooted, romed and new kernel, I tried all of the wall chargers but it would not charge passed 45%. On a whim I chargered it off my laptop and IT IS FULL. Why?
Off the top of my head, I'd say that you have low power chargers. Do you still have the original OEM charger?

I started with the OEM charger, even tried her Kindle Fire charger, and two other chargers but only got to 45%.
I use a quick charger I got with my HTC works great and charges faster then OEM charger.
