Does anyone know if the power adapter from a Nexus 7 2012 can be safely used with a Nexus 7 2013?
Thanks.
I asked the same question and was told it was safe. Have been doing so for about 10 days.
I plug my nexus into any USB port or USB charger I have, is that a bad thing?

Not likely to hurt the Nexus, but might overheat the charger if the tablet needs more current than the adapter can provide....
I have to say, it's a very nicely made charger. Feels a lot like the back of the Nexus 7 itself. (And I bet Asus are charging a price for it not too far off the Nexus itself, too.)

I am thinking of buying the ZaggSparq 6000 because it is 50% off for cyber monday. But I wanted to check if it would work for the Nexus 4. They said it wouldn't work with the Nexus 7 Tablet so I was worried it would be the same

Why wouldn't it work for the Nexus 4? If it's able to charge other smartphones, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to charge the Nexus 4. It should work perfectly fine.

I'm confused by why this won't work with the nexus 7. Anyone got a clue?

I assumed it would be because the charger couldn't supply enough current. I've seen some portable chargers that only output 1-1.5A but the ZAGGsparq has an output of 2.1A. The official N7 adapter has an output of 2A. So I'm stumped.

Well I bought it anyhow just to see how it would turn out for my Nexus 4. Hopefully this doesn't suck like their screen protectors hahaha.. Getting the ZAGGsparq this wednesday. It was nice getting two day free shipping because they offered Amazon as a payment method.
I my nexus turned up with 66% battery, I toyed with it all day and at 4% decider to charge it. Only to find out the charger didnt work!
I narrowed it down to the cable itself, and being a brand new cable I couldn't quite get it. Looking in the end of the smaller USB I can see there are only 4 pins, the one I am using from my galaxy nexus has 5 could this be why? Does everyone else have all 5 pins?

I was about to post and say that micro USB should have 5 pins... But then I actually looked at my n10 cable and it does only have 4. Pin 4 is missing (second from the left if you treat the longer side of the connector as the top). makes sense I guess, pin 4 serves no purpose in this type of cable.

Mine has 4 pins too.
What you should do: try charging a phone with charger
Or try the cable with a phone to a pc. That will tell if it's the cable.

I need to find a way to get my nexus 7 to charge with QI wireless station and allow the OTG cable to work. I'm aware of the custom mods out there but I really want my nexus OS fully functional and untouched minus this one aspect. Is this possible via a rooted app or light mod to the existing OS?
You really have 2 options.
1. Remove the back cover of your N7, and follow the instructions somewhere here in the general section to add the Qi reciever.
2. Use a custom kernel to enable host mode charging, and purchase a "Y" cable from ebay or amazon.

As for 1, is this an upgrade to the current QI receiver in it? I have the 2013 model. My QI charge works great until I plug in the OTG cable and then the OS turns off charging.

That make a big difference. This is the forum for the 2012 Nexus 7. You need to be in the Nexus 7 2013 forum. If you post in the correct forum, you are way more likely to get your issue resolved. Hope you get it all fixed up.

Here ya go. Both devices are not under the Nexus 7 section. They are completely separate from eachother, as their own devices.

I believe the usb cable that came with it is really cheaply made. Did you try another cable?
