Can anyone recomend me a Nexus 7 charger? My stock charger has problems with very slow chargers, and most the time dont charge at all. At the moment i am using a old charger from a samsung phone but i find the connector very wonky where i have to wedge a bit of card next to the connector to keep it in place to charge. Also the cat has had hold of it so the wire is split down the center. Cheers.
I find the stock charger the best in the house, it's rated the highest (2A if I'm not mistaken)
Samsung cables don't fit well, they keep falling out
I got a Logitech charger with my mouse, and it seems quite high quality, but it's only 1A, and Nokia chargers should also be good, but thats only 1,2A I think.
Try a different cable first, I find it hard to believe that a charger would sometimes work, sometimes not, these things usually either work ok, or not at all.

Thanks, and yea tried a few the best one at the moment is the samsung one im using i just got to make sure i dont move the device or cable lol. The stock one only lasted a month or so. Full charge took about 15 hours where as the samsung one takes 2/3. I will brosw around on amazon and see what i can find.
Got one of these back in January, still going fine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009ZSTXIS
It's gone up a couple of quid since I bought it.

It must've been faulty to begin with then. If you still have warranty, take it back, you should get a new one.
Hi:
I use the Caseen six foot wall charger:

Have a look here, probably one of the best and cheapest chargers around: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43329017

I haven't driven in years due to chronic illness and since my wife has been using the car she's gone through over a half dozen car adapters!
I've tried official Samsung car chargers (two of them), one expensive one from Bell Canada, several that you plug a separate usb cable to and maybe three others that that were simply "generic car chargers"... they simply stop working after a few months and I don't know what else to do.
I'm in Canada so we have cold winters and fairly warm summers and we've tried leaving the chargers in the car all the time (which is what I've done in the past with out problems) and her keeping them in her purse and using it when needed, but they still "die" quickly.
What charger would you recommend for durability? I don't want to spend $50 on a charger, since replacing them every few months isn't an option, but I'll consider anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-18W-3-6A-Car-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ - highly recommend.
Scosche best IMO
I have used Anker batteries and battery packs and they work well. Their car chargers though I've had issues with, as they never actually put out the output they claim to.
Now, I've used an earlier model Scosche charger from YEARS ago and it's still going strong. I recently upgraded to this one because it truly does put out 2 amps for my Note 2 so it will charge my phone WHILE I'm using it.

Please keep in mind, the usb cable being used does play a HUGE part in how efficiently your phone will charge as well. I ordered the cables pictured here and they work like a champ. Yes, they are fake Samsung cables, but they work better than any other cable I've used for both data and charging.

Thanks. I will check out both recommendations.

Had the same issue for a while. This Duracell has held up well for me. It doesn't come with a cable, however.

I ended up getting the Anker charger... it comes with an 18 months warranty, so we'll see what happens. I'm sure if it was made of solid iron my wife could find a way to damage it somehow... she's also gone through a dozen AC adapters (I've never had to replace mine for any device in the last 15 years...).
Doesn't make sense. Could it be the phone or battery?

I wish. She's gone through three phones and two tablets and she always manages to break the adapters. I'm going to get her to pay for the next one. LOL ?

I bought 2 of these for $10 total plus Free shipping a few weeks ago. Tried them out and love them. Great feel. Awesome placement.
I just looked again and they are still selling for $5 (normally $50). Very Very Very good buy.

I got 2 white ones. The link is for the black.
Looks like their out of stock.

No, the charger will work just fine. It won't charge your phone unless it supports qi charging, of course. Ie: Vermizon model only as far as I know.
Well look here. Today I found out my phone has wireless charging!
Yea only the Verizon model has QI. I ended up buying 2 of them and they're great. Sucks they have a proprietary barrel power cable but it seems to charge much faster then my Samsung USB one made for a Note 3. I still use my Samsung one for travel.
Great :good:
Samsung is running a promo on the older wireless chargers right now. They are buy one get one free.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/ce...40&MKM_MID=7071159&CID=eml-he-mul-316-1091-NA
I just ordered it and combined it with the 30% off coupon I got for registering my phone. So I have 2 wireless chargers coming for $40 after tax/shipping.
I hadn't got my S7E yet but did get BOGO on a white Fast Charger. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-PN920TWEGUS

Those are not the fast charging pads. Just regular charge if it matters
And they ate 27 dollars on amazon

They are indeed fast chargers. I bought the BOGO fast wireless charger and a fast wireless charging stand for $105.82 after taxes and 30% discount. Good deal for genuine charges that come with fast wall chargers as well. Also, avoided shipping by spending >$50.

You can get the same promo on fast wireless chargers. IMO two fast wireless chargers for $52 is a much better deal.
I didn't find the bogo deal for the fast chargers until after I bought the regular ones. Also the 30% off coupon supposedly doesn't work for anything over $49.99.

That's what it says, but it actually does work on some items over $49.99, including the fast wireless charger that was part of the buy one, get one deal.

Dang it! It looks like they don't have the fast chargers as part of the promo anymore either. I can't find them on the site.
OH well, i plan on using it to charge overnight on my night stand anyway so it doesn't need to be fast. If i need fast charge i'll just plug it in.
I have the fast charge pad and it's awesome (not the stand one).
Anyone else notice the different animations you get when you plug in at the bottom or place on the round wireless charger? Plug in at bottom you get a little animation of electricity flowing up briefly. Place on the wireless you get a similar thing but it's a circular animation from center outwards.

They both were showing they were valid until 3/19. I have a feeling the fast charge probably ran out of stock since they still have them, but link you to buy them elsewhere online or in store.
The wireless chargers are back ordered, I originally pre ordered one before I got the phone. And they sent me a email saying it was back ordered then I went ahead and did this deal also since my wife needed one. And the same a day later got a back ordered email.

I missed out on the deal too thinking a had a couple days left to order it. In my ignorance, I didn't think they would sell out so quickly. I spoke to Samsung via live chat and they tried to tell me the promo ended on 3/17. However, I explained that I saw it said 3/19 and she asked me to call customer service to see if they could help me out. I sat on hold for 58 minutes before finally hanging up to go to a meeting at work. Now I'm wondering if it's worth grabbing two of the non-fast chargers for $35 after 30% coupon before the sale ends today. However, the reviews of this non-fast pad make it seem unreliable. I currently use my old Samsung S4 wireless pad now when I sleep with no issues.

i am getting the same in U.S
I ordered mine on Wednesday I think. Came yesterday. Got it in the US.
I love that it lights up blue. Super pretty at night.
Finally got my DCC's ordered about 20-30 minutes ago. I have been waiting for stock for over a month now. I know they have been stocked a couple times now, but must be limited quantity as I kept missing out.
as of a few minutes ago, they still had them, so whomever needs em' better go get em'
EDIT: I'm in the US by the way
Mine said expected delivery Aug. 10th, will have to see once I get shipping confirmation
Ordered from the UK this morning. They were out of stock yesterday when I ordered the phone.
ETA 17th August

Ordered mine on the 27th July in UK. It came today and it's for the old model with the green tab in the USB port. Not the new model with the red tab.
Does anyone know if the green model is faulty by design. Should I send it back?
Just ordered mine! Thanks for heads up. I had all but given up on it.

not cool at all! 1+ is so annoying!
I had originally planned on ordering this when I purchased my 1+3 but it was out of stock. My original order would have allowed me to have this shipped for free as well. If I order now, it's $4.99USD for shipping. As if the charger and cable weren't expensive enough.
This is just total BS! 1+ is pulling an Apple with their stupid proprietary cable and chargers. They just want to make a killing on the accessories.
They're not pulling an apple. You can use other charging cables and accessories you just won't charge as fast as dash charge unless you have their accessories.

I received mine yesterday, finally got to test it today and I am very impressed it's as fast as the mains charger; £25 well spent and worth every penny. Best in car charging experience I've ever had.

Seriously, dash charging is incredible who gives a **** if it's proprietary? FYI OnePlus can't have much margin on the +3 so I'm not gonna begrudge them making money on accessories (which are still reasonably priced). It's also worth pointing out that by definition anything that is not standard will invariably be proprietary, the difference between Apple and OnePlus is that OnePlus did it for sound technical reasons. I'm also pretty sure OPPO's VOOC chargers will work with the +3.

BS! I don't let Apple get away with it, I certainly ain't going to let 1+ get away with it. There are plenty of generic 3rd party cables and accessories available for iphone/ipads. Apple tried to make their cables proprietary but plenty of 3rd parties are making cables and chargers that are compatible with iphone/ipads. That's not the case with 1+ DASH tech. Hope some 3rd party can make some cheap DASH compatible car charger and compatible charging cables. I like the Android side because they don't do proprietary sh&t! If some brand does -- like Samsung -- then I'm going to call them out on it!

My point is not that DASH is bad tech. On the contrary, I think DASH is quite good. So good that I wanted a DASH car charger at the time I purchased my 1+3 so that I don't have to pay extra shipping like I do now.
I'm not going to let 1+ slide on this. They've made a good phone in the 1+3 and DASH tech looks quite good but their limited supply of DASH car chargers for sale at 1+3 introduction was total BS! Hardly anyone got one when they first purchased their 1+3.
What happened to 'Don't Settle'? I'm always having to settle with 1+!
Then don't buy it. Not trying to be rude but who cares 1+ isn't.

I'm not happy that I have to pay €7 (~$10) for shipping as well. Wanted to order it with my +3 but it was not released by then. They were in stock one day after I receive my +3. Wanted to start a discussion with them and if they'd be willing to send me a coupon that would cover the cost (alternative: send back the phone and order another one with the charger. But then, they are low on phones as well. That would have been a too high risk ) . While I was preparing my mail for them they ran out of chargers again. That was pissing me off even more. As they are available since yesterday again I just ordered. **** those 25% shipping costs in comparison to the product itself. Charger was sent out a couple of hours later so I will at least have it fast. In the end it's by far not the cheapest charger but it's not completely overpriced with the €37 (~$41) I've to pay now as well.
I'm very satisfied with the phone so let them make some money. Prefer them to release a few more models than them selling everything for cheap and run out of business.
