I know there is an issue with charging a nexus 10 by a micro-usb cable since a battery is drained out faster than charging. Thus it has a pogo charging connect and supposed to be charged by a magnetic pogo cable. However, unfortunately the cable didn't come with Nexus 10 for some reason, and there have been no place to purchase it separately though. Here it is!!! it makes nexus 10 charged 40% faster than a usb cable. It will be available for sale on Amazon and ebay soon! I will provide you a link to buy it later.

Hate to be nitpicky, but I want a dock to go with it. So get on that

Any word on price? I'll be one of the first to bite on this for sure.

If we are indeed a couple days away from online availability, giving us price and specs should be no problem i'd guess.

Can you provide us with any information regarding what the pins do? Also, in what countries will it be available?

"soon" and "later" as in, some point today? Or near future (this week/early next)?
Also, I hope the price is pretty friendly Ideally, I'd love the price to be around $3 for just the cable itself, but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Provide a photo of the cable with your forum name on a piece of paper next to it and you will gain some credibility...

Don't tease us like this :crying:

Why not love for it to be free? I'd expect at least $20 given they would be the first to market.

Defo want to see more

$3 ?
I am guessing you would pay more than that for faster charging.
I would easily pay $10 for it.

This is exactly what I'm looking for. I will buy a few as I want to make a few docks and should be easy with this cable.

Fyi, for safty sake a pogo cable itself has a circuit break chip installed even though an ac adapter could break a circuit. It is a magnetic pogo cable like an apple notebook pogo power cable. Since it is not like a mere usb cable, price couldnt be $3 or 5 something. we expect $19.99, apparently not over $20. Sorry, at this moment no comment on a pogo dock. Oh, the pogo cable will be up online probably on ebay early next week. I will provide you a link and international shipping available as well.

Waow, 20$ for a cable that should have been in the box in the first place, I think I'll pass.

@OP
>we expect $19.99, apparently not over $20.
Tsk tsk...they don't teach Sales 101 any more... Should've said that it retails in SK for $40, but because of the special respect you have for XDA members, you've managed to finagle a SPECIAL SUPER SALE PRICE of only $19.99. THAT'S MORE THAN 50% OFF!
When there is no reference price, highball, then come down.
>I will provide you a link and international shipping available as well.
$20 + $10 shipping = $30. You heard it here first.

$20 is too much. I will wait to see what google and samsung do.

The cheapest cable I could find...

Amazing, the cheapest cable I could find came in a set.... screen protector, cheap case, silicone or plastic backing (in many colors) and an OEM cable! $12.99!!
Even the same retailer is selling the same cable alone for $15.99
Enjoy!

Are the cables and chargers for all galaxy tabs the same? In other words will a charger and cable for a P1000 work with a US T-mobile Tab? If so then $4.50 is an awesome price for a car+home+usb cable and charger. Please let me know because I need to replace my lost charger and cable and I dont want to pay samsung $50 for a replacement.

Can't ignore that so ordered a couple for delivery to here in the UK. Cheers!
Sorry to be confused but what actual cable can i buy that will charge and sync? do these above cable work with the included samsung wall charger that came with the tab?
also what do i need to view the tab on a TV and anyway to use a remote control with the tab)?
i know i can buy the samsung dock but do i need to buy the vzw hdmi cable or any normal hdmi cable will work?
or can i just buy this from vzw (is this all i need)

Someone just posted a very negative review of that item on Amazon. It seems both chargers are regular 1 amp units and won't charge the Tab.
Not a terrible price for just the cable, but I'm not buying anything from a vendor that so terribly misidentifies their products.
I suspect Monoprice will have data cables for under $2 in a week or two.
I can see why the buyer is upset, but even at 1 amp, if the cable is correct, it should charge the Tab, just at a slower rate. I use bricks rated under 2 amps all the time. It just takes longer to charge. Afterall isn't the output from a standard Usb around.5 amps? With my Tmo Tab I can charge when connected to my PC.
I suspect it it doesn't work in is the cable.

I just bought this cable and charger so I hope you're right. Actually I'm pretty sure you are right because I have been charging my tab via my laptops usb port during this past week and it does charge, just way slower.
I'll post back and let everyone know it it works or not when I get it.

Seems like the item is no longer available either.
I did order one before that user posted his feedback. Its still not a bad price for a spare cable.
We will see. I did get a message saying it had been shipped should be here Monday or Tuesday.
Note that there are mainly 2 lengths for these generic cables, 80cm and 120cm.
We have the 120cm one for US$4.70 plus shipping in case anyone needs the extra length.

I just received my chargers and cable. The charger is indeed only a 1amp but it still charges my tab. Havent tried the car charger yet.

Usually they will still charge ; though the battery icon on the TAB will show a charging sign with a cross. (But it is very slow).
Likewise on a PC; it will also charge; but if u are using Tethering, the battery will discharge (but slowly too)
Using a 2A adaptor will definitely charge the TAB faster. And it is advisable to use it if you are into Wifi Tethering.
I bought this from Dealextreme SKU.48826; surprising it was able to provide the 2A rating to charge my TAB; very pleased with it.

Nexus 6 Car Charger?

Anyone have a good recommendation for a car charger for the Nexus 6? I drive a lot, and need to be able to give it a quick charge.
I'm open to cheap and expensive options, I just need a good quick charger.
Well, I used the Nexus wireless charger for my N5 in my car. (Some cars support USB natively. For those that don't, any 2A Auto-to-USB -- or even better, Auto with corded microUSB -- adapter will work.) The magnets keep the N5 locked in place, so it doesn't bounce off, and there were no cables to fiddle with when placing the phone on (or taking it off) the charger. True, you had to get a bit creative if you wanted it mounted, but that usually wasn't too difficult. Personally, the N5 with charger fit perfectly in my center console, so mounting issues weren't a concern.
We'll have to see whether or not the N6 will support the magnetic mount for wireless chargers at all, and if it does, how well does it stay in place? If it works as well as the N5, then the Nexus wireless charger would be my top recommendation for a car charger.

Very interested in this. Ironically I could care less about quick charge at home... I always plug my phone in when I'm driving, and I work out of town so it's a lot. I wonder if using quick charge daily for am hour or so each way would hurt the phone... my phone already gets pretty hot driving with streaming music and navigation/waze.

From what I hear it could mess with the battery. I only charge to full and only when I really need power I will charge it for a short time.

Not for $30 With this battery, I can likely work all day and make it to the gym afterwards where I listen to music while working out and watch play movies/netflix while I finish up with cardio. My normal car charger will likely be fine for this.

That's actually the cheapest of the quick chargers I've found so far but yeah $30 is pushing it. I have found myself with a low charge on the OPO before where a quick charger would have been helpful. Instead I've had to use a NewTrent battery pack with it and the phone stuck in my man purse.
I use the Scosche USBC242M it's a dual port charger. Each port is 12 watts(2.4A). Its pretty fast, I believe the certified quick charge 2.0 ones are 15 watt ports.

Looks like it's a more flush fitment too, whereas the rest are much taller.
I've used some Pure-Gear cables before. They were not manufactured well at all. They were also mislabeled as to what type.
Remember everybody, if you use a 2A car charger, which now seem to be widely available, you also must use the proper cable or you won't get the full current.
This Mediabridge is my favorite charging cable:

I can vouch for the incipio car charger, acts very similarly to the turbo charger and definitely charges faster than any car charger I've personally used. Pricey, but the tradeoff is worth it
...
....
I ordered the neobits charger that was linked earlier. I like the idea of the new turbo style charger in the car. Price is deceptive because the cheapest shipping option is $14...

It works and everything but it isn't as flush mount as the design would seem to indicate. It sticks out a little which kind of annoys me. It is more minimal than any other car quick charger I have seen though so I guess it's ok.

The Note 5 and S6 Edge Plus are the first devices to hit the market that support it. It's a new standard by Qi. We should see some hitting the market soon. Even Samsung's fast wireless chargers are hard to come by right now. They're still on "Coming Soon" on their store's site.

the nice thing about this one and a couple others are the fact that the phone stands up vertically on it, so you can continue to use your phone easily while it recharges..

The Samsung fast wireless charger has hit their website now. As far as I know, it is the only one I've heard of supporting the fast wireless charging but is going to cost about $70..
That said - the Qi charging spec was updated to include 15W in June of this year. My guess is that you'll be seeing a lost of third party ones popping up soon, and since the new spec is backwards compatible the 5W ones will probably start falling by the wayside...
In the mean time, this is a great stand charger. I have both this one and the CHOETECH Stadium and they work great on my regular S6 Edge.

That's because no other device offered "rapid wireless charging". The Note 5 does, this charger doesn't do that.

the 30% off is for $60 and under, won't work for the charger
being on a stand allows you to see and use your phone while it is wireless charging.
and, to pay 50-70 dollars for the samsung one is insane, where there are several very good ones on Amazon in the 18-35 dollar range.

this one has a single coil so you have to place the phone in the correct spot, and that its flat. the one in the OP is metal, and stands up, and has 3 coils so presumably it can charge no matter how you place your phone on the stand. otherwise they both charge at the same speed.
I have the same one as the one you linked. it works fine with the note 5. I taped it up to a cheapy stand and it works

Coming from a Nexus 4 I had gotten used to the wireless charging dock and I am looking for a similar solution. I think I might resort to some sort of DIY solution if no products are available by December. I was thinking about working with something like this as a base stand and then running another metal bar in the cradle with a permanently affixed usb type c cord. Alternatively if they have a type c cable thin enough maybe I would use something like this and just put it in the rubber part. Although I was hoping someone else here might have some better ideas
Lastly, I am also holding out hope that someone will find an easy mod for adding a wireless charging adapter to the phone that doesn't require us to sacrifice corded charging or use a case...I really just wish Project Ara would get here already...
Just got my LG Nexus 5X the other day and had the same problem locating a suitable dock with the USB Type C. After some digging, found this product on the American ebay. Go to ebay.com and paste in Search "KiDiGi Omni Charger Cradle Desktop Dock for Smartphone with Type-C Charging Port" - apologies as XDA won't allow me to post hyperlinks yet as still considered a noob.... I believe this dock is also sold in Australia.
This is luckily shipped from outside the USA, China actually, and for free which is mightily handy. I purchased the item as a Guest using my British home address and used my PayPal a/c to purchase for £16.82 GBP (there was no currency charge or commission fee as far as I can see). Hey presto!

You beat me to it. Here it is
Will that dock rapid charge being that is only 2.4A? It looks very nice, but I'd also like to retain the rapid charging. I know, I know, first world problems!
Does the model compatibility matter? I feel like they'll just ship a general one out for all models
Hopefully one of you who ordered it can do a review with pictures

It has a USB plug on the end to power it - so to me that says it doesnt have a charging unit and requires you to use one of your own. It is simply a USB-C connector in a stand.
Looks nice though. I might get one depending on other similar types I can find.
Here this one is Meenova Dock for wireless charging: http://www.meenova.com/st/p/ultimus_qi.html

I received this dock recently, and tested it with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mderezynski.checkr and it failed the test.
It draws too much energy from the PC, potentially damaging the USB interface (on the motherboard).

It's a passive device that doesn't draw power on it's own. The power draw you metered was what the phone was pulling based on it's supplied power. The USB ports on your machine will be fine and if any damage were to occur it would be to the phone (unlikely).

The dock is just a cable in essence, but it fails the usb-c specification, and according to Google engineer Benson Leung, cables like these should not be used at the risk of damaging the device it is plugged into, because it lacks the correct resistor.
The phone is safe as it regulates the current draw, but it's under the impression the source allows more draw than it's actually certified to produce.
As far as I know, the USB 2.0 ports on my computer weren't designed to allow 2.4 A of current draw. (The cable built into the dock however facilitates it.)
i just had my dock shipped, so I'll post a review with photos when I get it. Might be awhile, as it's shipping from China (and I'm looking forward to any reviews that you guys post).
I got a refund for this dock from Kidigi.

Why did you edit your post? S:
You said in your unedited post that it couldn't draw more than 0.5mA from a USB-A interface rated as such, yet I sit here and my dock is letting me draw 2.4A, yes it's quick charging, but it's drawing more than the PC wanted it to.

I decided not to go down that rabbit hole. You are incorrect in your post, but it's not my job to force knowledge down your throat.
For what it's worth, Everdock made me a custom adapter for a Cable Matters C-to-C cable, so I am using an Everdock with my Nexus 5X with the Google dual charger.
Remembered to snag a photo, pardon my messy desk and the dusty rubber part (the 5X camera is too good!):

Zenwatch 3 charger (USB ring)

Does anyone know:
- where to buy a charger for the Zenwatch 3 (usb ring) and the additional battery pack?
- the part-numbers of the charger and the battery pack?
I have tried for a charger everywhere!! Called the company...none available!!!! Unbelievable.
I have only been able to find the charging ring here on eBay and nowhere else. I'm still continuing to look for any compatible straps or the battery pack :/

They have them in Germany, replacement batteries and wristbands, too. I happen to go there on Monday for two weeks. How many do you need?

Does "mediamarkt" ship to usa? - I see that mediamarkt has wristbands, batteries, charging
rings and mediamarkt accepts paypal but I could not find out if they ship to USA?
I don't think they do. That's why I'm going over there.
ASUS offers them on their website now...
store.asus.com/us/category/A38497?sort=uitox_price&asc=1&page=1
Now I'm glad I ordered only 2 with Mediamarkt.
If anyone could get me one if they're going to Germany. I want a rubber strap in black or even leather. The beige one I have i can see it getting grubby in the future. I'd pay obviously.
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
with this address: store.asus.com/us/category/A38497?sort=uitox_price&asc=1&page=1, it's possible to order the charging cable but the problem is when i try to enter my phone number there is always a mistake i don't know why, could any buddy help me with this issue? i'm in Quebec Canada, you can reply me at this address [email protected] thanks for all Luc

I don't believe Canadians can order from the American Asus store. To my knowledge, there is no way to order additional straps or charging cables in Canada right now. Don't know what would happen if you called Asus directly though.

You can buy the charging ring from the asus usa store for $24.99 it's in stock,
you can also have zenwatch 3 watchbands in stock there too.
http://store.asus.com/us/category/A47413
BH Photo is already advertising the new battery pack as pre-order for $45.99.
They are also advertising the charging ring, round power pack and a few
watch straps which are for pre-order.

BH PHOTO VIDEO does ship to canada as well as over-seas.
Have a great day!

According to the Asus store FAQ, they do not ship outside of the USA, so Canadians can't order from there.
You're right about BH Photo though. It does ship to Canada, though after the cost of shipping, exchange, and customs, things are extremely expensive. A replacement leather strap will cost about $70 CAD.

Even if it works it's a bad deal, it does NOT come with the fast ac power supply.
The zenwatch 3 can only do fast charging if plugged into it's original power supply
Plugged into a computer's usb or any other charger besides the original one will
charge only at standard slow speed.
The reason it's only 10 euros is simply because it does not come with any ac charger
it only comes with the charging ring and usb cable.

I don't use the Asus original power supply. I have another quick charger with 3 ports and this charger is verry good.
So the new ring will I use with the original power supply at my office

Hmmm..... Interesting..... mine still charges quickly (i.e. 60% in 15mins) with an old generic USB wall charger....
The original Zenwatch 3 charger is still wrapped up nicely in its little box....

Mine charges super fast even when hooked into a good old fashioned USB 2.0 port.
Received the charger and it's working perfect!

Amazon has the same chargers as above and they are prime. I bought the one from the Kissmart seller and it works great.

and you can try this one which looks to be the same
