Has anyone found a dual car charger for two Nexus 4's or a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 10 whilst in use?
Most dual car chargers seem to have one output to charge Apple devices at 2A plus another output to charge non-apple devices at 1A which is not what I need.
Thanks
I've managed to find something but it seems to be unavailable in the UK

Monoprice has plenty of these. I love their products and pricing.
It might be possible to charge two Nexus 10 tablets or two Nexus 4 phones using a dual iPad charger and power USB cables as described in the first link below.
The second and third links are items from Amazon which might work.

Have you tried to charge your nexus 4/10 with a 2.1a apple USB port? I tried it with both my nexus 4 and 7 and they do not deliver more than 1a. I just ordered the powergen dual USB. It will only give 1a to android devices according to the guys at the nexus 7 forums. 1a is enough to slowly charge my nexus 7 in the car with maps running but im not sure about the nexus 10. We need a car charger specifically made for android tablets that can output more than one amp but I don't know if there are any on the market yet.

If you read the article in my first link above then that says that a dual iPad charger with the correct cable should deliver 2.1A.
Here are some Amazon customer reviews showing that a dual iPad charger can charge a Nexus device at 2.1A when using the correct USB charger cable.

Unless someone tested it with the nexus 7 or 10 im still skeptical. Anytime you see the 2.1a it's designed for the Ipad. Just read that article and it doesn't say anything about android tablets just ipads. Im sure they do output 2.1a but just to ipads, android devices will only get 1a.
Sorry for offtopic a bit but is it okay to use 2A to charge the N4?
I mean does it kill the battery faster or it is totally fine?
THanks

i just read the reviews, just because it shows AC charging it does not mean its output is 2.1a. AC charging just means that its using a charger or cable that has the D+/- pins shorted. I have a moto 700mah car charger that shows AC to both my nexus 4/7 but only delivers around 6-700 mah. What im saying is that it probably wont output more than 1a to an android device. 1a is more than enough to charge a nexus 4(or any other android phone) with nav on but is a bit too slow for tablets. If you do get this car charger let us know if it does output more than 1a. you can use current widget app to find out how much current the phone is receiving from the charger. Im still looking for a car charger that can deliver more than 1a to an android device.

yes it's fine. The nexus 4 will not draw more current than is safe for the battery.

Thanks for your reply. I've ordered the charger and the USB power cable and I'll report back.
I use this
http://www.myinnergie.com/mCubeDC10/Default.aspx
Bought it when I had an iPhone and it could charge it and an iPad at the same time.
Now I use it with the SGS3 and the Nexus 7, works fine for both and they pick it up as AC.

Since the battery life of the phone is quite poor it's only natural that i would like to charge it when i'm on class or with an usb cable when im using my laptop, using other usb chargers/cables, but on the manual says (of course) that we should only use it with the lg charger that comes in the box or an official nexus 4 charger .
It kinda sounds like bullsh*t until i remember what happened with my motorola milestone, sometimes when i used another charger the screen started doing crazy things, like swipping the homescreens by itself , oppening apps, until i charged it for at least a few minutes with the official charger, some months later my digitalizer died, so you can imagine how traumatized i am, but then i think what's the point of trying to make a standard out of microusb chargers if we can only use the official charger? what do you guys think?
I find battery life to be very good.
I have been using an old HTC charger on mine without issue though. I suspect the 'only use LG charger' is to cover themselves in case you kill the device with a cheap and badly made knock off.

AW: We can only use the LG charger?
I have literally problems in draining my battery, running Franco's Kernel and Minco v6.
Anyway, using another charger should be no problem. I used the charger of my Asus Transformer and a mobile charger in my car without issues.

Feel free to use any USB wallcharger you'll find.
I tried some i had laying around (HTC, iPhone 5, iPad) and they all charged without trouble.. :good:
Yeah, I've used a 1A HTC charger with no issue. I accidentally left my lg charger at a friends house and had to use what I had.
the battery life is good, better than s2 with its extended battery, i was wondering about this too as i want to use a sony rx100 at 2amps to charge while im traveling.
on page 168 of the service manual it states the max charging current is set at 900mah, over voltage protection upto 28volts
The current should be controlled by the phone, not the charger. Therefore there shouldn't be a problem with more powerful chargers. The voltage has to be correct, though
The phone certainly regulates the power it takes.
If you are really worried about the chargers just flip them over and read the output ratings. Most of them are exactly the same these days.

Any USB charger will work. Note the output current on the charger though, as that will impact how fast it can charge and whether or not you can have the screen on while you charge. The LG charger that comes with the phone is 5v 1.2a, an iPhone charger (at least as of the 4S when I got mine) is 5v 1a and an Amazon Kindle charger is 5v 0.85a. The USB 2.0 spec calls out a max power output of 5v 0.5a.

I'm confused , the lg nexus 4 charger is 5.0v 1.2A and my galaxy nexus charger which i use sometimes with my nexus 4 is 5.0V 1.0A , what does this mean? what's the difference?
My Nexus 4 is on the way so i cant comment on that but my Sony Xperia S acts differently to different USB leads even on the same charge unit. It might charge at 500mAh or 950mAh (on a charger rated at 850mAh), the screen might be fine or it might act erratic and it all depends on the lead plugged in to the charger
I used Samsung/blackberry chargers and they worked. Not sure if they were as efficient though.
I pretty much use anything but the LG charger and have been doing so over a month. So feel free to use any quality charger you like.
I also charge of my Philips Qi pad and off computer USB ports.
As long as it's providing stable power or anything close to it, it's good.
Just be careful with (fake) cheapo chargers. Those might cause issues with the touchscreen going haywire while charging off them. I've also read that about some car chargers, but so far my cheap 2A 2port USB car charger that came of DX is working fine for me.
YMMV of course. But there is no need to stick to just the LG charger.
Ok so I tried to search but the function is down for some reason.
I have been looking at Portable battery chargers for my Nexus 4 but amazon.com does not like Canada and pretty much all the "well known" ones aren't shipping here.
I was looking at these two:
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX42716
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX42172
Besides the obvious capacity differences, anyone have any experience with either and their Nexus 4s? 1A should be enough for most smart phones but I tried out a charger for a diff phone (not sure which one sorry) on my Nexus 4 and was getting no charge which I found very strange as it was still a 5V/1A output charger...
Any help would be great.
http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/MCH_603.html 3000mah, ships in canada. ZNOODA usually makes decent portable batteries.. Will be ordering mine soon.
i have a 5000mah charger from monoprice. it charges at 1a and really is 5000mah since i was able to charge my Nexus 7 fully with it. Monoprice also ships to canada for $5.
the charger for the Nexus 4 is 5v/1.2A. For the best results get a charger with a 2A output (usually reserved for tablets).

Aftermarket chargers rated for 2.1a is designed to only output that much current to apple products, you will not get that much to any android device. I have a few chargers and external batteries that have a 2.1a usb port and none of them output more than 1a. I've tested with the GN. N4, N7 and Transformer. Android and apple have different ways that let the charger knows how much current is needed. The charger i linked has a 2.1a port too...
I've found a couple forums on this but no solutions. Can anyone confirm a working fast charge USB cable other than the stock LG 3' long one?
Here is the closest thread I found..

Thanks. But chargers are easy to find. What is difficult to find is a USB cable to work. You'll see in the thread I linked on the first post, lots of people are having challenges with finding USB cables to work even if a charger is well above 2 amps. Even using the stock LG charger, no USB cables seem to work except the one that came with the phone, to eliminate the "slow charge" icon and allow around 1500mA of current to be drawn from the charger like it should in a fast charge..
what cable are you using with your new charger? And do you get the slow charging icon?
I think it all boils down to the charging base... I have used the LG, various Htc and Samsung base units with all kinds of mini & micro USB cables without any issues... The base units are rated from 800mA~1.5 and have not had any slow charging issues... I've only experienced the slow charging when connected to the PC or some car chargers...

I used to run a 1.5' usb cable from monoprice and the GPS on my phone would discharge the battery faster than it could be charged. Now the phone charges so much faster.
I have yet to have a problem with any of the generic monoprice cables and wall charges I bought a couple years ago. Only time I get a slow charge notification is using my 1a car charger. My Optimus G and HTC One X chargers and cable work fine as well.
IT IS NOT THE CHARGER!!
It is something in the cable. And good luck finding one. If you use the included USB cable that came with the G2, then it will charge on ANY charger "normally" (fast charge). If you use ANY OTHER cable, it will slow charge.
I don't know what is in the cable or why it makes a difference, but none of my USB cords/chargers work unless I use the INCLUDED USB CABLE.
I had a thread on this already somewhere in the General Area I think. It REALLY sucks because I have TONS of chargers and cables. I have some at work, home office, bedside, 2 in my car, friends cars, etc. I DO use Wireless Charging at night and luckily the phone has a huge battery to last through the day.
There IS a problem here but my thread got ignored like, "I don't see a problem here, just use the included cable". Well yea if I stayed home all the time. My work makes me travel for work so I have to make sure I remove the 1 working cable and carry it with me EVERYWHERE. What a pain in the butt.
Has anyone tried on custom roms to see if perhaps it is something just on the stock software telling it to go Slo-Mo.
My Verizon non usb attachment cable charges fast. My OEM Spectrum cable does as well. My dual one amp car charger charges slow no matter the cable, and my works Motorola and Kyocera cable charges slow no matter the connection. I have a couple Samsung's I need to test. I do not own any generics. I have not tried other combos.

LG Spectrum cable does not work, slow charge, my fault.
However, the straight plug from my new Verizon car charger does work, the USB port also (ONLY with G2 cable so far[tested lg spectrum, Motorola, Samsung, and Kyocera. Older cables]).
Recap: So far ONLY Direct car charger or USB G2 cable has fast charged. Must be chipped or using some different wire combo?

Ok. I can confirm that the cable used for the Nexus 7 (2012) works.
Also, the original cable for the Samsung Skyrocket works.
Works meaning fast charge.
I can't gurantee that this is the cable, but my skyrocket cable does look like the top cable here:
http://www.ebay.com/bhp/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-usb-cable
(Charger looks like it too, but the charget won't fast charge G2)
Edit:
The Skyrocket was really picky about cables/chargers. If it didn't have the correct one, it would wakelock. Maybe there's something with the way it's wired that makes it good for the G2 as well.

It's something to do with pins 2&3 being bridged that enables a cable to support fast charge.
That adapter linked above is supposed to do that.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about that. It may be the software in the phone that is causing the issue. I had to replace my car charger so I picked up a rocketfish 3.0 amp charger. When I originally used it, it was ridiculously fast, literally 30% in about 30 or so minutes.
Now, here's why I don't think it has anything to do with the charger cables. When I got my phone, I kept putting off doing the first update because I wasn't sure if I was going to root this phone. During this time, I got very good charging speeds from my rocketfish 3.0 amp car charger and many of my other rapid chargers. When I decided I wasn't going to root, I went ahead and downloaded the update. Now, unless I'm using the cable that came with the phone, I get the slow charging message with every single charger. I went from 30% in 30 to about 10% in 30 on my car charger.
I may need to pull out my tinfoil hat, but it would be a pretty huge coincidence that all my charging woes began with that update.
Yea something isn't right. I have a GNex, G2, Nexus 7 2012 and 2013. I always check for AC charging in Settings>Status. It will say AC or USB. When I got my Nexus 7s I replaced all of my chargers with fast chargers. For 2 years I've been fast charging. I got 3 different fast USB chargers on my desk, using the existing setup, Everything fast charges except the G2. If I use the included G2 cable, it will fast charge off all of them. The same with ALL of my home/office/car/travel chargers.
I can only get it to fast charge when I use the included USB cable.
Its something magical with that cable.

I haven't even unwrapped the charging base and usb cable that came with my G2, they still remain in the box. I have been using the charging bases from my Nexus 4, L9, Htc One X, Motorola Atrix and a GS3 through out my house and have mixed cables from god only knows where and all of them work. I get no slow charging from any combination. Even using mini usb cables with micro usb adapters attached and they all still work. I've checked all the output voltages and the lowest one is 800mA. Granted my D801 is rooted, but no custom rom as of yet.

Have you gotten an OTA update?
I'm on the Verizon model. The other guy here said he only started having problems after the Verizon OTA.
-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4
Here's my theory,
There are chips either in the battery, the transformer, or both. When the phone doesn't detect what's required, it gives a slow charge message and reduces the charge speed. I have had previous phones with batteries that had built in chips that I had to buy because the generic batteries without the chips wouldn't work as well. I haven't taken a good look at the battery, and the transformer seems abnormally large, when I get a chance and some spares, I'll probably take them apart.
My tinfoil hat is telling me that LG is trying to rope us into buying first-party accessories, but it may also be a way to regulate battery health. Having a non-removable battery, it may be a move by LG to extend the life of the battery as long as possible.
Also, I just rooted my phone and so far no change. I will try the car charger tomorrow.
No updates from Tmobile as of yet... I can only imagine the frustration though. You would think LG would have made charging the phone, regardless of the model more standard across the board.

800mA is a slow charge... You should average 1700mA. Our cable is five pinned (if that matters). I need grab the mA reader app again. Now we know there is kernel check for flux ect. I want to know if the cable is pre chipped as well for check and regulation, isn't too uncommon. I'm beginning to lean more on an over aggressive kernel check though or possibly a combo of kernel and certain chip model check. I just find it odd my straight Verizon car charger and only this cable is working for me. Gonna check car cable pins in the morning. Verizon here, OTA taken. Did not check before.
Hello,
I read in an article somewhere that the Nexus 5X has Qualcomm Quick Charge capabilities on the hardware side, but not on the software side. It also stated that this possible could be activated in the future. For the life of me I can not find the article now, but I did hop over to the tear down page that iFixit did on the Nexus 5X. Sure enough, the 5X does have the Quick Charge 2.0 chip on the logic board.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5X+Teardown/51318
I'm not sure what this means exactly. Isn't USB C pretty much as fast / faster than QC 2.0? Or, would QC 2.0 via USB C be even faster?
This phone will never see qc. Google is all about open standards which is why it has usbc and can charge at 3amps.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
God can people just stop with quickcharge?
The device is charging at 15W at max allready, and thats just for a short while. The majority of time charging is spent under 10W (2A).
QC is not magic and wont make a difference for N5X. My M8 with QC and the same battery capacity charges nearly identicaly as to my N5X (same battery capacity), it just goes 9v for a shorter while but the total wattage never goes above 15w for QC charger.
I feel like the desire for qualcomm quick charge is so that people can use the wall plugs and car chargers they already own because the adapters that actually support the usb c standard are few and far between or really expensive from Google, it's not about which one is better or faster.
Sent from my Nexus 5X
That chip is a power management IC with QC features, does not mean LG/Google even hooked up the wires required to use it or put in the additional components that might be nessasary to make it work. I don't think Qualcomm publicly releases data sheets so we can't know but I doubt the hardware as a whole supports it.
In case anyone is interested. I have a Quick Charge 2.0 certified car charger and it works with my 5X. It enables "Charging rapidly". Same thing with my Note 4 rapid charger. Both work fine.

Hove you looked at the actual charging rate at all? Just because "charging rapidly" does not mean it is truly charging as fast as it should.

Hove you looked at the actual charging rate at all? Just because "charging rapidly" does not mean it is truly charging as fast as it should.

I'm gonna answer this even though I don't appreciate your tone. So I'm doing it for the benefit of others. Yes it does charge at a fast rate with all three chargers (stock, Samsung Fast Charger, and QC 2.0 charger). About 1-3% per min and it slows down, as it should, when above 80%.
And "Charging rapidly" wouldn't get triggered if the power management charging circuitry didn't detect that the charger had the proper dynamic output voltages/currents, with the power output being P(t)=V(t)*I(t). Your "rapid charger" will have two pairs of output ratings for current and voltage (some have 3).

I'm not trying to be mean and I did not intend to have a negative tone so I'm sorry for that, I just wanted to see the actual numbers when using that charger you mentioned and see how they compare to the OEM charger because from what I have read charging rapidly is faster than normal but has a very wide range that can trigger at much lower charging speeds than the OEM charger.

All of my testing on "charging rapidly" indicates that the phone is charging at 2.1A, not QC 2.0.
I suspect most QC 2.0 chargers offer 2.1A charging for when an iPad is connected, to prevent the user from returning the charger because it didn't charge their iPad. Google probably exploited that by simply telling the Nexus 5X to accept the iPad 2.1A handshake, which doesn't require QC 2.0 to be enabled.
It is possible QC 2.0 is just disabled in the baseband, but considering the backlash that Google got... I suspect they would have at least committed to enabling it, if that were an option.
That makes sense thank you

The term Logic Board is only used for Apple devices not anything else buddy

Logic board is just another name for the motherboard.
