Nexus s battery recharge time

I was wandering if its only my nexus s(i9023) takes upto 3 to 4 hours to charge.

same here, up to 3-4 hours, which is quite much

The charge time is quite ridiculous

You can use a different charger - the one that comes with the Evo is 1.0A, not the 750ma that comes with the Nexus. Still - the Nexus is way too slow, but this helps.

I hope this is not the case. I just purchased the Nexsus S last night and i like guick charging while in the car. The iPhone 4 I have been using charges very quick. I am using a 2.1 AMP car charger. Right now I'm at 82% and charging so will see how long it takes to get 100%

Since my last post, battery has gone up 85% charged. I just disconnected to grab some lunch.

Check whether your phone is charging in AC mode or USB mode when charging with the car charger. If it is slow, I suspect it's charging in USB mode.

I have Galaxy Tab 7. Will that charge faster since the Tab has a bigger battery and hence a more powerful charger?

I believe the SGT 7 charger is a 5v charger, which is the same as the Nexsus S charger with 0.7A.

Buy a battery charger. I like the one from Samsung. There are also many aftermarket options.
So lovely to come home and pop in a fresh battery.

Might do that. Saw on eBay, 2 1500mah batteries and charger for 9.99. Only thing is they take forever to ship from Hong Kong.

Actually, i just took a look at my Galaxy Tab 7" charger and the output is 5V 2.0A. It's not the same amperage as the Nexus S, but higher. Should definitely charge faster then.

I use a 1 amp Pre cylinder charger.
No idea how long it takes; so far have only charged overnight with the occasional USB cable top-up.
Not sure if I'd try something pushing 2A though...

ZaggSparq 6000

I am thinking of buying the ZaggSparq 6000 because it is 50% off for cyber monday. But I wanted to check if it would work for the Nexus 4. They said it wouldn't work with the Nexus 7 Tablet so I was worried it would be the same
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggsparq.php?default=6000

Why wouldn't it work for the Nexus 4? If it's able to charge other smartphones, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to charge the Nexus 4. It should work perfectly fine.

I'm confused by why this won't work with the nexus 7. Anyone got a clue?

I assumed it would be because the charger couldn't supply enough current. I've seen some portable chargers that only output 1-1.5A but the ZAGGsparq has an output of 2.1A. The official N7 adapter has an output of 2A. So I'm stumped.

Well I bought it anyhow just to see how it would turn out for my Nexus 4. Hopefully this doesn't suck like their screen protectors hahaha.. Getting the ZAGGsparq this wednesday. It was nice getting two day free shipping because they offered Amazon as a payment method.

Output seems to be 5W, 2.1 A over two ports. Looks like ~default specifications to me. Should cause no problem.
If you want to double check, take a pic of the output specs that are usually written on the charger and post it. I'll verify.

Its ExtremeMac Universal USB-WAL-11 AC Adapter.
Model: USB-WAL-11
Power Specification, I got from the website.

Very sorry, cannot post a picture , because I am on travel right now and I wasn't able to bring it with me.

-from the Play store link for a N4 power adapter.
This matches your charger perfectly, so no problems.
You can use the xtrememac charger, without any hesitation.

Wondering if these kind of charger has auto shutoff when the battery is full ? I usually leave my phone charging overnight.

Almost all chargers ( unless they're cheap knockoffs ), have auto-off these days.
That charger looks like it's high-quality stuff and they've claimed support for various other devices in the description too (including LG devices).
I think we can be sure that it has auto-off.

Thanks so much for enlightened me thanks for your help and suggestions.

Understand that, that's over two ports so you use 1 port to charge the phone which is 2.1amp and you'll be charging around 1800mAh so you're going to be fine.

LG Nexus 4 slow charging

Do you guys notice the LG wall charger that came with the phone seem to charge more slowly that others? I tried charging my Nexus 4 with a samsung charger and it charge at least twice as fast compared to the LG that came with the phone.

There's a reason this phone has a smaller battery. Therefore they'll use a less amped charger. For instance it takes longer to charge my note 2 than my nexus 4 does. Our LG charger is only 1amp. My note 2 is a 2amp hence 2x faster.

But why would they make it charge slow. I just don't see the benefit in doing that and the charger I use is a galaxy s2 charger. The battery size is not much different.

Check the specs on that charger. And it's more efficient.

The output on the LG is 5v, 1.2A and the output on the Samsung is 5v, 1A. It seems the LG is suppose to output more, yet it charges more slowly. I also notice sometimes with the LG charger the phone switch to usb mode.

Probably due to USB cords I have no issues at all with charging.

How long does it take you to charge your phone to full?

I noticed my charger got slower too. I swapped the cable and it charges fast again. The cable that the charger comes with got faulty, but I can't really notice anything when inspecting it.

[Q] Can i use this to charge my nexus? 5v 3a Converter

Can i use this to charge my nexus 7 in dash in my 2004 wrx? Gonna leave it plugged in all the time as it will be installed in the dash.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/UN3F-Car-Ch...75?pt=US_Power_Inverters_&hash=item41775672fb
I know the stock charger is 2a, does 1 more amp make a difference?

The Nexus 7 like most devices has a current limiter on board so a 3 amp 5 volt supply will be fine.

3a is a max current, not a working current so it should be ok.

If it were me, I would have the 5 volt supply on a switched circuit. Charging while the car is running will keep it topped up, and I am leary of leaving any battery always charging.
