A lot of discussion about aftermarket chargers and car chargers, but I cannot find specs for original nexus/asus charger that you get in the box.
Is it the same as this one?: http://www.asus.com/Peripherals_Acc...Nexus_7_10W_Adapter_and_Cable/#specifications
If not, could someone please post exact specs of the charger (everything written on it) for UK and EU (i know they are most probably exactly the same, but I want to be sure)
Also, since the UK charger comes made out of two parts (as seen in any nexus 7 UK unboxing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=bfd8ithIxFg#t=229s ), is there a EU version of this? Because UK plug is the only one with detachable plug, as far as I've seen US and EU come normally, without any detachable parts. Is it a very specific part, or can I go to some local electro store and get EU plug?
Thanks!
Really, everyone talking about how they're enjoying their nexuses, and NO ONE will take 1 minute of their time to copy specs off the adapter?
Please, it's not too hard to do.
This is the very same universal charger that comes standard with the Nexus 7. If you care to read the label of yours, you'll see it's exactly the same one, specs (and looks) wise.
Regarding the detachable adapter, I think the one included in the "ASUS Traveller's Kit" for the Eee Pad TF101 is fully compatible but unless you can find someone who's willing to sell you this specific detachable plug in separate, you might as well buy the official ASUS Nexus 7 adapter specific to your country.

I will read charger specs myself in two weeks, when I indeed do get it. For now, I don't have it just yet, and I can't find info on it. I'd basically only like to know output current, so I can compare it to my Sony and Samsung chargers.
About the travel kit, thanks for the tip! Too bad the Eee pad has a completely different plug, and I'm not paying 30$ just to get the EU plug
Even the charger alone is quite expensive. I guess I'll just use one of those massive bulky traditional travel converters
Thanks for answering!

Does anyone know a website where i can purchase a good quality in car charger for my TyTN II.
Thanks
Just bought mine cheaply from ebay. States it's an original HTC and looks like one. Works well. I'd buy from ebay again. Search for 'OEM car charger htc tytn'
Bought mine on Amazon (germany). There's a lot of confusion though. Many resellers sell "original OR OFFICIAL PARTNERS" chargers.
Of course you only get cheap "official" partners stuff. It happened to me once, paid few euros, never worked, no charging at any time.
Then I spotted a reseller really pretending to sell only original, and it was the case. Original HTC cost more (here in EU I think more than 10 eruos is standard) that cheap things, and have 2A power (even though I still don't understand why but that's written on it).
Official one look like that:

To my knowledge, the only example of this for the Tilt has been the Brodit active cradle - which happens to be one of the more reputable brands of chargers you can buy. That vendor owned up to the problem and replaced everyone's chargers and (I believe) also paid for repairs of the damages to any Tilts they killed.
The noname chargers won't brick the Tilt, they just will fail to charge it.
Any Mini usb car charger works. I just bought a motorola charger and it works.

It's not because this Motorola works that all will work! I had a totally unbranded one, it was absolutely not working.
What I did was get a Car USB to AC converter.. looks like the a$$ end of a car charger, except your USB cable plugs into it.. it's handy for everything... your Kaiser, Laptop.. etc...
I've been using this for a few months now.

I don't have a car charger so no, i don't sit in my car and wait for my phone to charge...
I didn't get an in-car charger with my Nexus so i don't even know what you're on about with a stock charger... Unless you moaning at everyone who uses in car chargers? Cos they're pretty handy when you're using Co-Pilot on long journeys.
Hi. I'm in the idea stadium of a DIY car holder/charger since the ones out now looks stupid to me.
I need a smaller charger like the Nokia dt-900 which people tell me doesn't work well with n4 (comments on that?)
While looking at what is out now I've come to notice one thing (many actually), some sellers say that to get the n4 to work with their chargers you have to place the phone high on the charger in order to line up the coils. Looking at LG's charger this looks false:

The charger is placed above the phones centre line. This isn't really that a big issue but anyway strange.
The charger I need also need to be powered at 5 or 12v to simplify installation in car.
Please feel free to help me with your findings in this matter.
As for the DIY details, I'll let you in later on.
EDIT: The phone has to be high on the charger, not the opposite as I wrote :s
The Nokia chargers don't work well with anything pre- Hardware Revision 12 (if I remember correctly). So if you have a brand spanking new Nexus that says it is Revision 12 the Nokia might work.

What's the difference between revisions that makes it work?
I thought the problem with the nokia charger was that it didn't provide enough power to actually charge the phone reliably.
Hi,
I'm after an external battery pack, preferably with quite high capacity, that has a micro-usb port to charge the pack. I've seen like mini-USB one's and the DC in but I need a micro-usb one to make things easy for me
Have you come across one like this?
Cheers
check my instagram post. 2nd from the latest. can't get the short URL since I'm on my phone right now. instagram: ijustzeke

I have this as my backup
http://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Sen...413913&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+external+battery
It's more than enough.

Don't know if you can charge it via microusb though, not released yet.
I've had good luck with Anker's internal batteries in the past (HTC Sensation) so I'd trust their battery packs. Not sure off the top of my head if any of them charge via microusb.
http://dx.com/p/cager-b030-10000mah...er-w-adapters-sd-slot-2-led-light-grey-167568
The cager ones look to have a microusb port, although I can't vouch for the quality of the batteries. Considering the N4 can support usb-otg with a custom kernel and external power, the cager may be a nice touch if you are looking for external storage via sd card.
the anker astro3 (10,000mAh/ 3A) charges with a micro-sd cable -- there's a short curly one supplied (+ alternative tips) which you can then reverse to charge the N4 from the Anker.

i got mine for £25.99 shipped from amazon uk and i'm very satisfied with it. it's about 20% larger and heavier than the N4.
This thread is dedicated to the development of an inductive charging mod for the Galaxy Note 8.0.
To sum up what is already known:
The Note 8.0 DOES NOT have built in wireless charging capabilities.
Generic 500mA Micro USB Qi receivers do not appear to work (It isn't yet known if 1000mA ones do)
In another thread I had identified 2 large contact pads at the bottom of the mainboard which were particularly interesting. Mainly because they were right near the connector to the Usb board as well as the battery connector.

These contacts are not used for anything else such as a speaker or antenna (at least on the Wi-Fi version).
I strongly suspect these are some sort of power connectors, perhaps used for testing the mainboard without the USB board.
Neither of the two large pads are connected to Ground nor VCC, but some of the smaller pads are.
If there is anyone has a bricked Note 8 and would like to donate it's PCB, it would definitely help with figuring out what these contacts are. High res pics of the other side of the mainboard would work as well.
Update:
Well it's now been over a week and a half since the used mainboard I ordered off eBay was delivered to the wrong address. The seller, 268warehouseparts, has been of little help and my neighbors seem to have a need for a GT-N5110 motherboard and have refused to return the package.
I am probably going to end up eating the cost of the board. With that said I have no further plans pursuing this mod.
There also doesn't seem to be much interest in it anyway.

I am very interested in wireless loading my Note 8. I think its not the
greatest problem finding a point to connect, but I dont find a
solution getting the needed current which is at least env. 1 A.
All offers for wireless loading units are about 500mA which is definetly
to low. SO are there transmitter/receiver combinations with needed
current please let me know, then we will try to find a way to connect it in the note.
