I know Qualcomm quick charging isn't supported but any harm in using the chargers. I don't expect it to be any quicker than a regular charger but I just want to be able to charge at work while I'm waiting on getting another charger

You can use QuickCharge charges for any phone, even if it doesn't support QuickCharge, it will just charge at the normal rate.
OK thanks! I forgot that I also have to get cables. The other included cable is way too short

Sorry if this sounds amateur, but I was wondering if I would be able to use my cell phone charger with the Nexus 7 without it causing damage. Or is the reverse true too?
The output on the Nexus 7 charger is : 5V - 2A
The output on the One S charger is: 5V - 1A
The input on the Nexus 7 charger is 100mA higher.
Now technically this means if I use the Cell charger the tablet would take longer to charge right?
But what if I use the tablet charger for my cell phone? Would it damage my phone?
I'm only wondering because I don't want to have too many cables cluttering my workspace.
Thanks in advance.

You're right about the charge time. And yes you can use it on your phone. I have a 2A charger for my g2x that's blazing fast.

It charges super slow on my GNex charger. 10% in an hour
you can use the nexus7 on your phone it will work as a rapid charge, i wouldnt make a habit of it...
Don't quote me on this, but using the 2A charger for your phone should work just fine, as it should have an internal limiter that prevents too much current from being passed through the device, damaging it. I have done that before (with a different charger) with success, so it should be just fine. Also, the N7 *should* charge on the 1A charger, just a LOT slower, and may only charge if you turn it off.
Thanks for all the quick responses guys. I just wanted to make sure I don't do any damage to them.

Hi.
I just forgot my charger in a hotel... Can anyone check how much mA the charge have so I can buy a new one???
1.5a
Just checked mine a few hours ago
Sent from my Nexus 4
Mine is 1.2A
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
The proper original charger only outputs at 1.2 amps.
Thank you folks!
Always buy the largest ma adapter you can find..devices draw what they need and you can charge more devices and charge faster when the adapter isn't the limiting factor.

I charge mine with my old G2X charger at 1.0a and it`s ok
Fastest chargers I've ever had are my old blackberry wall chargers. They're even faster than the chargers that come with the Nexus.

As long as your charger can supply the maximum current asked for by the N4 (about 0.8A I think, if memory serves correct, from the service manual), then it doesn't matter how fast or high current it can supply, it won't charge any faster than the stock charger.

i ask because the Galaxy Note II charges really fast with the included 2 Amp charger despite the huge battery. so does it?
It will support 2 amp charger but it will not come with a 2 amp wall charger.
I had read it does come with the so called rapid charge charger, where did you read that it would not?
Anandtech said it came with the same wall charger as the Note 2,which is 2 amp.
"This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging."

so even tho it has quick charge, its still slower than the s3? oo wut? it should charge twice as fast with a 2A charger vs 1A. i know the battery is a bit bigger, but it should still be significantly faster than the S3

Quick charge to my knowledge is strictly for usb charging. Wall charging is unaffected by this tech. 2 amp charger for a phone is damn fast, trust me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
The included 2 amp charger seems pretty quick to me. I never owned an S3, so I can't compare to that.

thanks for the reply!
I'd be interested in seeing if the phone actually draws 2 amps while charging or if it limits itself to a 1 amp rate of charge.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
got the i9505 today, it comes with a 2A charger and it definitely charges up rapidly. I used the galaxy app from this forum to check charge current and it is flagged as 1900 mA.
For me it is not charging trough the PC's USB:crying:

If the phone's normal current draw is 1900mA, I wouldn't expect much of anything when plugged into a 500mA USB port

Can confirm it comes with 2amp charger and charges fast (Can only compare it to my S2 but I would say its charges quicker than that). Phone does charge via USB but very slow.
It is realy weird, that it is no possible charging from pc!
SOLVED: It was blocked by Battery Monitor Widget
So does or it doesn't support quick charger the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 android 5.0.1?
Can anyone help me understand why any other charger I use on my G2 charges very slowly (and tells me so)? I will get a wireless charger soon and keep the regular one in my work bag, but just trying to understand why anything but the one that came with the phone is such a dog even when it is plugged into the wall. thanks
The G2 charger outputs at a rate of 5v at 1.8amps. any charger that has a lower amp out will charger the phone at a slower rate and bring up the slow charge warning on the phone.

And you need a USB 3.0 cable with a charger having 1.8+ amp output. I tried using my ASUS tablet charger which has an output of 2amps and it still says slow charging. I also bought an aftermarket USB 2.0 cable and used the OEM LG charger and it will show slow charging also.

Have you compared charging times between this and the OEM? The description seems to make it s match.

Recently my wife broke her USB port on her n7, so I decided to just attach some wire to the pogo pins as I know there was a ground and a 5v line. After I installed battery monitor, hers was charging at 1000 to 1300ma. Mine charges at 500-600ma.
Maybe my port is broken too I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm this?

Hi I use the dock to charge my n7. I have noticed a faster charging rate. However i do not know how to measure this

Download battery monitor widget from play store. It will display the MV on the top right of the screen.

I also charge my nexus from a homemade dock at the 1000-1300 mark compared with my usb port. The usb port is so bad that most of the time I see it discharging while in use!!!
I believe this is a hardware fault as mine used to charge great through usb. at one point my usb socket stopped working altogether, I ran a soldering iron over it and it is at least working again, still slow to charge.
I have also been following a thread about this in the google user forums. One person stated that when they changed the usb board charging rates resumed to normal standards. There is a lot of people in that thread suffering from this. Bad show google.
Have you guys confirmed that the n7 charges faster off the pogo pins?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
It can charge just as fast off USB I know mine does I think the problem seems to be that the ports are easily damaged and it slows the charge rate

I have been following a thread on google forums about people suffering from poor charging rates. I can confirm that many users in that thread, myself included, have found that charging through pogo pins charges normally, whilst the usb charging takes forever and even discharges with screen on!!

is that with the provided 2 amp charger?
It is with a third party charger as my charger broke, but it was the same with the original.

The 5V oem charger output 2000mA. Any charger 2A should fast charge.
Also the pogo pin can charge on 12V 500ma (which is automobile acc. standart)
See more info on Qualcomm FastCharge Standart
There's a chip that identify the power output available. So a charger 1A charger will be identify by the device, therefore it won't fastcharge.
