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.

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.

you shouldn't have a problem downloading a 1 or 2gig movie within 30 minutes to an hr, it'll drain your battery half way regardless of kernel though.
If you're worried, you should stop pirating or Johnny Law will be on your rear. jkjk
To answer your question, just use it without connecting to the charger. Also, calibrating the battery is not necessary either.

So draining the battery regularly doesn't hurt it?
So in conclusion connecting the charger hurts the battery?

Keeping your battery at 100% all the time (letting your phone plugged into the charger) is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to the battery besides overheating it.
If you want to get the longest lifespan out of the battery, keep it between 40 and 80% and under 40°C (which is why the N4 starts throttling itself at 38°C)

So I should download until the battery is at 40% the charge again right?

Of course it will. It's a battery. They only have so many charge cycles. You can always buy another. With a little effort the battery can be swapped out.
That's right anyway I just wanted to know the least way I can damage the battery while downloading. ..do u have a suggestion

I can't give you advice on how to make piracy less damaging to your phone. That's against the rules.

I just had my lawyer answer a ~1800 euro claim for some song that had magically found its way into my torrent downloading software. He charged me 208€.
Don't download pirated media..
He never said he was downloading copyrighted material... plenty of legal Ubuntu torrents available and last time I checked that's not piracy

Guys am talking about not damaging my battery not the phone
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Anyway thanks all for your answers
So in conclusion
I should download until the battery drops to 40% and then recharge it
2- never leave the device connected all day

Flash a different kernel, then both underclock and undervolt.

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?

Would it be OK to use a 2.5A charger with my Nexus 4.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Yes

Yes it is OK.. The phone will pull only 1.2A though, so you won't experience faster charging. Just make sure its 5V.

Are you sure about this??? I have one charger 2V but I dare not try
USB universal standard is 5V, this is undisputable.
