I just lengthened my power cord

It's been so annoying having the power cord to be so short. And I don't want to spend like 30 bucks for something longer. So, I just cut it up in half, insert in between 6 feet of cable, and voila! Testing it now. Just saw the power % go from 93 to 94. Woohoo, success!

nice! What cable did you use?

I just use a 6-foot one of these to plug the OEM charger into:

smarta** lol jk. You have a good point but I think the object is to have something a little cleaner lol

I have a kazillion adaptors lying around. I just cut the cord from one of those and insert.

Haha. What's cleaner than an extension cord? Splicing together multiple cords and covering with electrical tape?

I did something similar. Took an old USB cable, nipped the connector and stripped the cables. Used the ground of the USB cable for the ground on the adapter. I ended up using 3 of the USB cables to get some better gauge on the wire to the + of the adapter. Works great! Put some heat shrink on and it looks awesome.

But the big black box will be pulled along if you wanna use your iconia while plugged in.

Pulled along? Are you dancing with A500 while it's plugged in or...? Haha.
Just kidding -- I know what you're saying. And to be honest, Acer has got to be the cheapest bastards in the entire tablet industry for not adding US$0.20 worth of wire to make the the charger an industry standard length. I mean, c'mon...is two feet of wire really that much of a production deal-breaker for them?
But back on your project, personally, I would only do what you did with an extra or maybe 3rd-party charger -- not the OEM one. But that's just me. I'd rather just use the extension cord until a longer, cheap alternative charger is found.
You still get a "Thanks" from me (if for no other reason than tolerating my smart-a$$ remarks)!

Don't do it unless you know what you're doing. Can you at least reassure me by telling me how you're connecting the cords?

Great find! The original charger bought seperately is $14.95 at Walmart, and still only 2 ft. long!

BTW does anyone know if Xoom's charger would work with A500, the plug seems as big as the Acer's?

Does anyone has the exact dimension of the connector ? int/ext diameter ?
Standard one seems to be 0.7mm int and 2.5mm ext, but I have nothing precise enough to confirm
Edit:
as stated by FloatingFatMan, it's 3*1mm connector:

Heh that's pretty bad.. My only problem has been battery drain while running GPS and Pandora simultaneously in the car. The phone is capable of pulling more than 700mA when you utilize all of the hardware, so there is no way to keep a net positive charge current. Also when the battery gets too hot (above 45°C, I believe), the phone will stop charging to prevent the battery from exploding

Geez what kind of USB cables do you guys use? I dont even use the stock cable that Samsung gave me, i got a blackberry one. Works great. Rim isnt dead yet lol

I use the cheap long cables from Monoprice.. or the stock cable, or whatever I have laying around. I throw out the cables when they get flaky -- but my problem wasn't related to the cable like OP's was.

I had the same problem charging in car. if using usb to charge it charges at 300mah but a/c charges at 600mah. so if you are using usb and have an extra cable you can short the green and white wires(going to phone) and this will trick it into thinking its on a/c. have not had any problems since doing this. i can go on a 6 hour drive with gps and music streaming and still arive fully charged.

I would like to see pictures if you have some.

I've seen this symptom with a bad flash. Something was using a ton of charge. More than my charger could put out. Hence, battery drain when plugged in.

i do not have pictures. i use heat shrink on my wires so i cant take apart to get any but if i can find another cable i will modify it and take some. it is a simple modification. just carefully cut the black casing from around wires(anywhere along cable, remove about 2 inches) without cutting wires inside. you should have 4 wires(black ground, red 5v+, white data -, green data +) cut the white and green wires then splice them together(the ends going to phone) seal it back up and your good to go. this is just simulating plugging into your a/c adapter. all the adapter is doing is converting a/c to 5v d/c and shorting data wires to tell phone its plugged into wall. usb is already running at 5v d/c so you just have to provide your own way of shorting data. you can ohm out your cable if you like to verify. 4 pins on conector 2 center ones are for data. they are open until you plug into a/c adapter at which point you will get short.

The cable did the same thing on my girlfriend's phone, too. Phone thinks it's charging, therefor no deep sleep, and it just discharges. It may be the cable/charger combo, thogh, but I KNOW the cable is certainly fault; I tried it with other chargers.

I actually had the charger port on my phone stop working, but Android still showed it was charging. I tried multiple combinations of cords and chargers, only to take it into Sprint for a replacement.
When it first started, it only seemed to happen on certain cords and in certain positions, but eventually, it stopped charging altogether.

Hmm, this seems to be happening to my girlfriend's HTC Evo. Did you have the Sprint insurance? And was the phone still under warranty?

My samsung cable failed within the 1st month. Its really the worst cable ever made on this planet.

Best US Note Charger, Fixed Issues, and Cheap Too!

Just wanted to tell my fellow US Note users that I found what I deem to be a great deal for a fantastic US charger.
I didn't have a converter to use the supplied European charger, so I used my old Motorola Droid X wall wart and USB cable. It worked fine, but I noticed that it made my touch screen a little less sensitive. For instance, it might make my Swypes on the keyboard break into separate lines, confusing Swype. It charged my phone, but the battery got warm; I thought all of this was normal. I tried another charger, an LG one, just to see if that changed anything, but it worked about the same.
Then from reading around, I realized that the standard charger is a 5v 1.0A charger and both chargers I was using were 5.1v 750mA/850mA chargers. I immediately started searching for a direct replacement and only after a long search I found a Palm Pre charger with the exact specs as our Note's.

I assumed it would charge faster being a 1A charger, and it does, but what I didn't expect is what pleases me the most: the screen sensitivity when charging is immensely improved (Swype is exactly like without the charger in) and the battery stays dead cool! It is around 5c cooler according to SetCPU. Just awesome!
I'm so pleased I wanted to share. I hope this helps others who may have experienced similar issues.
The link is below (not sure if I can link directly to an Amazon item, hope this isn't against the rules.) It's super cheap and the quality is top notch! Soft touch plastic on the wall wart and also the USB cable! I just bought another as a backup. It's only 3.49 w/ free shipping!
BTW I bought it from "BobTronics" because some reviews said they got what might not be genuine Palm USB cables from other sellers. Mine is legit; it has the palm cable tie and feels high quality.

P.S. I am in no way affiliated w/ the item or the seller. Just wanted to share a good buy that others might be interested in.

As a Palm Pilot -> Tungsten -> Palm Pre ->-->Pre 2 user I have to agree.
I have numerous chargers, some even labelled at 1.0 AMP, but none as good as the Palm charger. Just well built, FULL 1.0 Amp, and so pocket able.
Now if only I could put my Note on my Touchstone - I find the Samsung Dock and connector sooooo clumsy after the Touchstone.

I have to agree, and the picture did not do it justice, because this thing is very compact. The diameter appears just larger than a quarter. I'm pleasantly surprised-for a change.

The DELL Streak's charger works superb, I have 3 which I have tried, for super fast charging use the ipad charger its rated at 2 AMPs.

I wonder if that causes any unnecessary stress/strain on the battery or the phone itself. I was worried about the heat that came off of my phone w/ the Droid & LG chargers, probably more due to the 5.1v rather than the amperage though.

I have the same chargers that came with my HP Touchpad during the fire sale. They are excellent chargers and I also use them on my non HP mobile devices as well.

Note's circuit limits the charge current at 1 amp.
2 amp Improvement is imaginary/placebo as charge times are exactly similar to 1 amp.
I have a Galaxy Tab charger rated at 2amps and it takes exa tly the same time to do a full charge as with the bundled charger at 1 amp.
Hence, no need to worry about temperatures.

Charging Nexus 4 battery in India

I just got my Nexus 4 in India. I am looking for a solution other than plugging to computer USB port because it is slow and not flexible.
Is it possible to get a adapter for the nexus 4 "in the box" charger to use it with indian wall socket? If so please provide links. Will my samsung wave charger work? Do Indian nexus 4 users manage?
Thanks

Volt stays the same, amp changes. It's a USB port charger, it'll always be 5V. You could plug in a 5V 2.1A (meant for tablets) charger into your Nexus 4 and it won't charge any higher than 1A or so. These sort of protections have been in phones for awhile now.
For directness sake, my Motorola Droid chargers (plus 1 car charger) worked with my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4. I am still using them in fact, along with the Samsung charger that came with the GN and the LG charger that came with the N4.

Now the problem is , i used to always charge with USB thr LAPTOP and i think i mistakenly replaced my Nexus 4 USB ADAPTER with that of my friends cuz the pins in this one are round not flat . And Nexus 4 in box usb adapter has FLAT pins i guess .
So now How can i charge my battery? The Nexus 4 original usb adapter wont be available in india , and even if it would be it would be costly!!
So, Can i use any USB adapter , Wont my N4 have current rating issues? And even if i use any adapter would it be safe to use it for long term as N4 has non replacable battery?
Please guys give me Simple and Cheap ssolutions. Thanks a ton !!

You can use any other adapter. The Nexus will only draw the amount of power it needs to charge so don't worry about it. It won't overcharge or anything.

Note 4 WIRELESS CHARGING Pins

Any ideas which are the wireless pins on the Note 4? I am asking because I don't want to wait for the wireless pads to show up on Ebay... I am planning to modify a similar wireless pad and adjust it for the Note 4 in the meantime...lol (I did that already with the Note 3...by using the Note 2 wireless pad inverted...)
My guess is that the 3 pins in vertical alignment in the upper right are the pins...

ATT is fully behind PMA now, so they requested their version of the LG G3 to not have Qi charging pins, instead opting for PMA pins. This meant that even if you bought the Qi Charging back covers for the LG G3, it still wouldn't be compatible with the phone.
While I'm super hopeful that the Note 4 will retain the Qi Charging pins, this agreement was only very recently, so we can't rely on the same treatment that the the S5 was given (allowed to keep Qi pins).

Just received my wireless charging pad and tested out the pins. So look at the picture above... there are 2 pins that needs contact. The first is the top pin (the single pin) on the right hand side. The second is the second pin down on the left hand side. Hope this helps. It should be pretty self explanatory when you receive your charging pads as there are only a few possible positions, so even if you don't know the pins just move it around and you'll find the right pins.
I have the T-Mobile Note 4. The charging pads I got were from Ebay. They were about $10 each. Good quality, very thin, and is working fine. Shipping took awhile, about 2 weeks. Hope this helps.
