The original 1.8A LG Charger has been spoilt.
Are 2.1A chargers okay?

Yes. The phone only draws the current it needs, so having more available is fine.
As long as its 5V.

Bought my Nexus in the US this summer, really enjoy this little beast.
I have a question regarding charging. The provided charger is a 5V- 2A charger but a US one. I have at home a HTC one X charger which delivers 5V - 1A. Can I use this charger ? What is the difference between 1A & 2A ?
Thx, Yves

I don't see how less amps would hurt it. It may not register a charge, or charge very slowly. I would wait for another opinion.
2A will charge faster than the 1A charger. That's the only difference.

OK, thank you
On the flip side, can I use my N7 charger to charge my mobile (SG2)?
My SG2 charger is set for 0.7A, while the N7 charger is set at 2A.
Mine charges with the USB cable i use to transfer files, which is about 500mA. Works but slow.
checking around the net, that's what it say.
the USB port have a maximum of 500mA i believe. And i did noticed it tend to charge more slowly. While the provided Asus charger with USB port on it, it have 2000mA (or 2A). So i guess the Nexus 7 is made to be able to support up to 2000mA, while it will charge more slowly when connected to a computer's USB port.
I took out my PSP and its charger recently, and this charger is also 5V, 2000mA, except it's a round tip made to fit the PSP charging port.
I do have another 2000mA charger, it also have a round tip, luckily it fit on my Ainol Elf II tablet. I got this charger/power supply when i bought my HDMI switcher, it work without it, so it was sitting there for all this time, unused.
i'm gonna try charging it with the provided Asus charger now.

Yes. Your phone will not charge at the same rate as the N7, however.

The charger that came with the Nexus 4 (bottom in the image) has the following specs:
Input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz 0.2A
Output: 5.0V - 1.2A
The LG STA-U12WR retail charger (top in the image) I bought has these specs:
Input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz 0.2A
Output: 5.1V - 0.7A
Will the difference in output cause any damage to the phone using this LG STA-U12WR charger?
A difference in 0.1 V won't make any difference, but the lower current means your phone will take much longer to charge (almost double).
And on the opposite side. Using the 1.2A charger that came with the phone to charge another phone which it's bundled charger was 0.7A would damage it?

no it won't damage it. the phone will draw as much as current it needs. if you are using 1.2a outlet and charging a phone which need 1.2a to charge, it will draw 1.2a current. But if you use the same outlet with a phone that needs 0.7A to charge, it will draw 0.7a not 1.2a.

Oh I thought you were referring to the wireless charger. Are you asking about the standard micro USB charger? I don't see why it wouldn't work, just be sure that the amperage on the charger itself is at least as high as the stock LG charger, if it's lower it will still work just charge slower. Also note that many non-LG USB cables and chargers cause the G2 to go into slow charging mode.
5V 1.8A is stock charger.
I know the stock one that comes with it is a 1.8A charger but what is its maximum?
(The iPhone 6 supports 2.1A for example)

Hello,
I recently bought a car charger giving 2.1 A and it works perfectly.

Ill pick up a 2.1A, from what I can tell most flagships support up to 2.1A so its probably no exception here
Never got higher than 1.6A even with different 2.4A chargers. G2 full charge always took around 110 minutes.
How are you measuring your charge rate (power/current)? Just because the adapter is capable of sourcing that much current doesn't mean the phone is capable of sinking it or putting it to good use. USB 3.0 charging ports can source upwards of 2-3 amps
just received my fire hd 8 today. the stock charger provided is only 5V 1A which charges the tab very slowly. will it be okay if i charge it with a 5V 2A charger?

Yes, the battery just may get a little warmer. I use a 2.4A direct wall-to-usb charger on mine all the time.
As long as the voltage is the same and the battery doesn't overheat, you should be fine.
