What charger to buy?

I hope there isn't already a topic on this.
I bought the Nexus 7 from ebuyer and can't use the UK charger in Germany. What charger could i buy to charge it as fast as with the original? My HTC Wildfire charger isn't doing anything and the one from my Xperia Play is just charging very slow.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: What 'specs' should the carger have/for what could i search on Amazon? If that makes sense.

Just buy an adapter. I don't know the electrical specs in Germany but the adapter is able to carry 100V-250V or something like that.
If you want a separate one, it needs at least an output of 5V and 2 Amps.

Bulk interest Philips Qi charger??

I'm sorry guys, just checked the stock again and almost all the stores in the country are empty now I suspect that some Dutch people who read this thread quickly got one themselves or something. A store which had 4 yesterday, now has 0 and normally these chargers never sell fast. I still have two reserved which I will offer to the people that first responded (will contact you soon).
Sorry again! I really hate that this happened but I couldn't go and bought some yesterday without knowing if people are interested and being stuck with them.
Admin plz lock this topic!
Hi all,
The Philip Qi charger just got discounted here in The Netherlands to €20, this one: http://www.philips.co.uk/c/-/-dlp7210b_10/prd/en/consumer
However, shipping to the US is normally very expensive (0 to 2kg = €19,95). But if I strip the chargers from their packaging and only send the charger/powersupply I can fit about 7 in the box which results in $32 (€23) total costs. I know another XDA user (dralways) who arranged the N4 and N10 for me I could ship the chargers to him so you could pick it up (stillwater, oklahoma) at his house or he could ship it from within the US.
This topic is to see if there is any interest as I know quality Qi chargers are very expensive in the US and I like to help you guys out.
You can have it for $32 (€23) but I always appreciate a small tip for my troubles ? I will test them all before shipping. Payment is through PayPal if we can gather enough people to proceed.
About the charger: it has a very good build quality and charges as quick as the normal USB charger. Output of the Qi charger is 1 A or 1000 ma compared to the 1.2 A or 1200 ma of the stock USB charger, so very close. Furthermore, one of the stronger Qi chargers I've seen. I don't have any troubles to get my phone to 100% (some chargers are reported to charge only to somewhere in the 90s). I will try to post some pictures tonight!
Let me know, if you are interested!
Rob
UPDATE:
I can probably fit one charger in a large padded envelope, shipping to the US would be €9,50 so if you prefer to have it send straight to your home we are talking about $40 (€29,50). For other countries, just contact me for a shipping price. The stock at the stores is very limited (I know someone who works at one of the stores and can check the stock of others) so I've to look, depending on demand, how much I'm able to get. If I can get interest in 7 devices total for bulk then that one has priority,
Users interested (need to have interest for 7 units total):
- Jrob2k (1)
- nateysmith (2 or 3)
- incognito2 (1)

I'm interested

@nateysmith it works wonderful here, haven't had any problems with it. Note that the charging output is 1 A (or 1000 ma) which is very close to the 1.2 A (1200 ma) of the USB charger. Most Qi chargers have a lower output.

You have been registered sir

What is the connection like from the mains to the charger? Is it something I might already have (MicroUSB? I can dream...) or would I need to find a mains adapter to use it in Canada?

The standard European one so you have to get a travel adapter or something or look here: www.dealextreme.com
I use that site alot, a US to Europe (so other way around) is only $1,50 incl. shipping

I'm interested for one but I live in Italy...

I'm also interested how fast it charges?

Hey. I live in Sweden but would love one aswell, can you estimate the total cost if shipped to me?

Mate count me in, this time ill also buy one.. whatsapp me :good::good:
Btw Rob, are you going to pick them up in the nearest store? Let me know.

Think you can fit two in one package? If so I'm interested in two, otherwise I'm definitely interested in one. Shipped to the US.

EDIT: Was too eager. Maybe later, broke right now

Please see OP! It will charge you phone in about the same amount of time as the stock USB charger.

Nope, I can fit one in a large envelope. 2 is always possible but then the shipping costs are €19.95. That is why I'm trying to get a bulk of 7 shipped to dralways in the US so let me know what you want.
I will try to buy as many chargers as I can get this week, so far I have 2 reserved in one store and 2 in another. There is a possibility that I can get 3 - 4 more available in another store, so stay tuned!

Would love to get 3 to germany. I send you a PM

n00b status, but PM sent. Thanks. :good:

Finding it Seriously difficult to find a QI Wireless Charging Pad here in the UK

Finding it Seriously difficult to find a QI Wireless Charging Pad here in the UK
Hey guys, I have spend almost a full week hours googling and tried contacting deiffrent retailers with no success!
I did love these wireless chargers to accompany me and my wifes nexus 4's

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Energizer-I...-3-Position/dp/B0041RRORA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_8
but it seems any time i find 1 we like it end up being from usa...which isn't a problem if it would atleast include a uk mains adaptor...
can anyone recommend what I should do or has anyone purchased these before who can sugguest what I should mabe do as am seriously confused after going thru all of this lol

I'm getting one of these by hopefully the end of next week:
http://www.fasttech.com/products/11...owered-qi-inductive-wireless-charger-for-car-

I purchased http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005PL5GSA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it works very well with my Nexus 4. Definitely have UK plug.
Edit: And as I post, I notice it is out of stock - errr, whoops.

Yeah, sadly this is a global issue. There are no QI chargers anywhere is seems. I have looked everywhere. There are no Energizer, Duracell powermats. Nothing. I had to order the orb, and am totally happy with it. I did find the Nokia charger at an at&t store but it was loud and pottery much useless. The orb is awesome, how you find one.

Wireless charging on the Note3?

So do you think the Note3 will support wireless charging??

Yes it will Sammy already showed off the back and charging plate

It's got what appears to be five charging pins. Or some charging pins and some pins for something else. Some of the U.S. carriers hid the pins on the N2 in order to disable wireless charging so there's no way of knowing yet who will offer it and who won't.

presumably 2 pins for NFC and 3 for wireless charging

I just don't see the reason for hiding the wireless charging pins, its an accessory you can sell and make money on. Albeit an overpriced accessory that won't fit into standard batter cases but some folks like it.

Thanks guys... I hadn't seen pictures with the back cover off before. Hopefully Samsung will release official Qi flip cases this time

I would think you can get a better deal than that if you're buying those generic brand Chinese ones (which I'll be buying for my Note 2).
Qi pad itself isn't specific to the Note 3. They'll hike the price up when marketing it for the Note 3

The one you listed is a generic brand one.
Here are two more generic at 20AUD

And when the Note 3 comes out you should be able to get a receiver at around ~10$

I haven't bought mine for my Note 2 yet but I honestly don't see why they wouldn't work..
I know for sure though that they're no different than the $60 set you found.

But the real question is did Verizon muck up the wireless charging pins on the GN3 like they did on the GN2?

They mucked up the GN2 to sell more HTC DNAs (which has WC), VZN added WC to the LG2 so there is the possibility they might try something fishy but who knows. I suspect not since they are releasing the device pretty quick.

According to their site (Verizon), the Note 3 will not have wireless charging. Don't know if it says on the Note 3 page, but do a comparison with the Note 3 and G2 and there is an X on the wireless charging category while the G2 has a check.

Wireless charging on note 3
Fcc filings show there is wireless charging. But that only means it is available on the phone. Whether carriers do something to block that is a whole other story. Why they would want to do that is beyond me since that equates to more accessories being sold

Ta da!

Still getting used to the cables

I just need to by a type-c cable to regular USB so I can have charger in my car and work i dont care about fast charging at this places just need a charger but with all this talk about incompatible cables and all I don't k ow what to get I mean i m just gonna use my old regular chargers just need the cables ... So would any type -c on amazon work

What's wrong with getting a cable directly from the Google Store. You don't have to worry about compatible and you know it will work. It's only $12.99 at the moment which is cheaper than most of the USB C Cables that are on the USB C Complaint Website that has been vetted by Benson Leung

I can confirm it's a nice cable. I bought one for my car. It's a little long, but the braided cover is nice. Cable is a little stiffer than a regular USB but it's pretty thick, but not quite as flexible as the OEM cables.
