1. This belongs in the Accessories section
2. The answer to your question: because the SE charger has the pin 2 and 3 (the data pins) of the USB pinout shorted. Normal chargers does not have these shorted. Don't ask me why, it just seems stupid and proprietary to me.

Can you explain better? I cant use others chargers? I cant use others microusb cables?

You can use a charger from a blackberry 9700, for sure and the 9000 I think. The bit about pin 2 and 3 shorted is true. I have a cigarette usb charger that came with my bluetooth gps and it would not work with my Iphone/ipod nor with my X10, I shorted or joined pin 2 and 3 ( the middle 2 pins ) and now it works just fine. That unit you bought is it not for the iphone? So you can open up the charger and short out pins 2 and 3 or modify the cable. I suggest you label the cable for charge only as I think it will not allow data to flow.

Because it's white.

Charging from external +5V source

Maybe some of you bought external charger, battery or like me, solar charger with battery and realize that Atrix doesn't charge but other phones does. Solution is quite simple. Only what you need to do is to put resistor about 200OHM or just short USB data pins (2 and 3) in your charger or cable. I really recommend to put resistor. Interested thing is that after phone is connected you can remove resistor and charging will continue.
1 VBUS Red +5 V
2 D− White Data −
3 D+ Green Data +
4 GND Black Ground

I made a 12 to 5V 3A converter for my wife's car. It works well with her HTC Evo 3D but for my Matrix I had to add 20kOhm resistor...

20kOhm? Thanks, bigger resistor, less current. I just tested 330kOhm and it works

Car charging solution needed..

I will be installing my TF300T permanently in my truck. I need to be able to charge the pad as the truck runs and while I use it.
What are my options? If I had come across these charging issues prior to buying, I wouldn't have..

Get a DC to AC adapter with a cooling solution then plug an extra TF300t charging adapter and cable into that:

I can do that.. Is that the best option? Versus maybe something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/Charger-Trans...1386855857&sr=8-2&keywords=tf300t+car+charger
I'd prefer to have it constantly charging.. I'm afraid an inverter is too risky for draining the battery...

That should work as it is 15 V charger.

Perfect .. Thanks!

Note 3 usb charging overseas?

Hi everyone I just have a quick question
Right now I'm overseas and the power voltage of this country is 220 v .
I forgot to purchase a wall adapter to charge my phone but luckily my cousins here all have note 3 's
Is it safe if I just plug my usb (that came with the phone) onto their wall chargers/aftermarket wall chargers ?
Here is a picture of my setup

This is very basic. You should always check the charger or any appliances if it has/supports 110V-240V input. Be vigilant.

All chargers have 110V-240V input range, and any usb charger can charge the phone. Check the output amps of the charger, if its lower than the stock charger then it will charge slowly, if its higher than the stock charger then it would charge fast but could damage the battery life as well. Otherwise any USB charger will works fine just after market cheap one may does short-circuit or over heat issues.

Thanks everyone

It's been rather hit or miss with car chargers. Have a look over here: http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/19/nexus-6p-nexus-5x-quick-charge/ As you can see, you might get really good results with that, or you might not. I've had good results with their products, so I personally wouldn't be overly concerned. The point is though - we won't know until someone tries it and reports the results back.
If you're buying through Amazon, you can always return it. Go get the Ampere app from the play store, plug it in to that charger, and if you're not satisfied with the results, send it back.

I suggest the tronsomart. It's not true 3A but it'll be good enough.

Good
many one are using this charger and it is really a good one for long drive.

I can confirm it the 6P does at least display the "Charging Rapdily" message when using this charger though it won't take advantage of the 3A the 6p can handle. Seems to work fine.
