[Q] Importing to the UK - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've purchased a nexus player from the US and having it shipped to the UK. Now I realise the AC adapter that comes with it will have a US plug. So my question is can I buy a compatible AC adapter that has a UK plug and if so could anyone post me a link or specification for one?

as much as carriers molest phones, AT&T is throwing in a free mhl adapter with the Infuse
Interestingly, Phones4U said that an MHL adapter was included with their GSIIs when I enquired about price last week.

Charging my Xoom

Hey guys, I have a UK Xoom and the backend of next week I am off to New York for a wedding for a week. I want to take my Xoom with me however I am unsure if I can charge it with my UK power adapter. It's obviously rated for 220-240v will the lesser voltage of the US power supply still charge though my current adapter or will it not work altogether? I have no idea how I am going to charge it if I can't use my UK adapter. :-S

Can't speak for a UK xoom. I got, one from the US and use it in australia.
My charger states 100-240v and I can use mine here or in the US....in fact in many countries, I just need a plug adaptor, not a voltage convertor.
not a problem. just get an adapter.

you can check your local hardware store, or even best buy, etc.

You are quite right, I just asumed it wouldn't work in the US as it was a UK adapter but they do indeed seem to be generic adapters! Mine also states 100-240v, thanks Sickboy.

Charger specification?

Hi,
What is the specification of the charger?
I might import this Nexus 7 from UK to The Netherlands.
The power plug is different, and I dont like to use converter.
So, I plan to buy from somewhere else.
Thanks for any info.

From the USA Google Play site:
Tech Specs
AC INPUT
110V-240V
DC OUTPUT
5Vdc/2A
PLUG
North American NEMA 1-15 plug (standard 2 prong US plug)

question about charger

A quick question about the supplied AC charger of the Nexus 10.
I ordered one from the USA Play Store and i'll need to use it in Europe as well. Does the charger work at 220V or is just 110V?
Thanks!
As an electrician, it won't. You would need the correct wall adapter.

Why wouldn't it? My N4 charging adapter works with 110 and 220.
Read what the adapter says on it. It'll tell you.
Just looked at mine, it says 110-240v. Should work with an adapter.
Alright, thanks! I'll just need an adapter.
Can't wait to get my hands on the device... it's been shipped and should be delivered tomorrow

Well you would need an adapter. The standard us wall receptacle won't fit in Europe

Buying N4 from US to use in UK

Given the price difference, if I buy an N4 while over in the US on business, will it work in the UK on our 3G networks? Are there any technical differences between the two phones (other than the plug for recharging from the wall socket of course!).

No, they are the same, N4 only has one variant. US version is the same as WW version.

OK, great. Would it make a difference to the returns policy if there was a problem with it. Could I return it from the UK to whoever handles it in the UK or is it not a worldwide warranty?
And, is the charger like an HTC one where the plug has a USB socket for the cable meaning I could use my current charger?

It uses the standard micro USB cable but the ac adapter uses a different output voltages. Nonetheless' it will still work.
I think if you will have to sent it back to U.S instead of the UK. I also think you have to return it to wherever you purchased your device.
