I've researched this pretty thoroughly, and the key question is whether or not your GN shows "AC" when you check the Battery status, or if it shows "USB."

With most car chargers, it is seen as "USB" as if it's plugged into a computer, and will draw minimal current, generally not enough to keep up. I had 2 different chargers in my cars, none of which showed as "AC". I bought and then returned the Griffin PowerJolt Dual USB Micro Charger - it also showed as only "USB."

Finally, in one of the other Android forums I've been monitoring on this issue, somebody came across this one:

HTC T-Mobile myTouch 3G Car Charger

$3.12, free shipping. Mine came yesterday, plugged it in, and finally my GN showed charging as "AC".

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7_michel:
When your smartphone shows your charger as ''USB'' this means that the USB data lines in the charger are not short-circuited. Then smartphone reduces its charging current to avoind any problems with USB laptop power sources

I made some experiments to check this point : see http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=184.

I also opened a car charger and short-circuited the data lines on USB the plug . That way I have solved my previuos charging problem in my car during long trip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] refthemc:
It helped indeed, thanks for the link!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
this is what i bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details

i've used it now 4 times, twice on a trip from south florida to orlando.

It charges the phone just as fast, if not faster than my home charger. On the way back, my phone was at 35%, within 2 hours it was back up to 100%. No GPS and a couple phone calls.

on the way up, GPS on and it never dropped below 97%.

so i can tell you without any doubt what-so-ever that this charger works perfectly with the galaxy nexus and will charge it with Navigation and phone calls running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
I bought a charger very similar to this one and it works great in my car. I make sure any charger I get is rated 5V DC at 1000mAh at least.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I have 2 USB 2.5A dongle chargers, one by Belkin and the other by Kingston. Both register as charging via "USB mode" and do not provide sufficient power while the phone is in use(loses charge usually). I also have that Motorola Rapid charger but the way the cable is designed it tugs on the USB port and comes loose often. I ended up just using the normal USB cable that comes with the phone and a 140W power inverter. Granted, it's not the most compact of devices, but it works well. I got it from Walmart for $20. Here's a link to it:

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher-XI14-Power-Inverter/15140199?findingMethod=rr

(and yes, using a power inverter will have the phone registering as "charging AC" and give a full proper charge.)

I'm using a Scoshe (sp?) dual USB port charger I picked up from Staples. It has a 1amp port and a 2.1amp port and I just use the micro usb cable the GNex came with
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb_3000:
Thanks! that's what I wanted to hear. I'm getting this one. it works for both Nexus and GSII
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
Does it charge as USB or AC with the scosche? I'm looking for a dual USB car charger that will work properly with the GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmolloy:
There was another thread, I think in the General that discussed all of this, what people came up with was the best combination if you want a dual port usb charger is to make sure you have a "charging only" USB cable. This cable will not make your phone think it is connected to a computer. You can tweek a data/charging cable to work but some people messed that up so it is probably worth just spending the $4 on a cable that works.

Here is my combination that works great. With this set up I can have on my navigation going with the screen on the whole time and stream Pandora over Bluetooth into my car and the battery still charges really quickly.

Dual USB Port with a 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port (2.1 amp port is for tablets or power hungry devices - like the phone while navigating). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056VNVV8/ref=oh_o01_s00_i01_details

Charging Only USB cable:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VYBCAY/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

This combo has me as "Charging AC" whenever I am in the car and I still have a port open to charge another one of the 27 or so different electronic devices that seem to clutter my life!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7_michel:
Some details on the changes I made on my car chargers

Text is in french but photographs speak by themselves http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=212
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trueislander:
Just like bmolly said, it works as AC is you use a "charge only" cable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Thanks for this. It's been driving me mad how car chargers and cables are so inconsistent. Pun intended.

Seriously, why can they come up with a standard and call it a day?

I have a had a few GPS/Pandora runs. Even while it says AC charging and my charger is rated for 1A, it drains the battery by 300-400ma.

[Acer Iconia A500] shaun298:

[Acer Iconia A500] >DARKMAN<:
The a500 doesn't support usb charging, supposedly there will be an update to allow it.

~Sent from my Droid SuperCharge~
[Acer Iconia A500] mswirski:
Do you have a link to a source stating that there will be an update to allow it?

It doesn't make sense to me, because the hardware physically can't support it (USB can only deliver 5V, whereas the A500 wants 12V IIRC)
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
It won't work like stated before a micro usb charger won't have the juice to do it. When you plug in the micro usb the charge light does not come on. Not supported and I don't know of any update that will change that.

Update: I just actually clicked on your link and the whole bundle is suspect. The wall charger is even a micro usb. Won't work, perfect example of a company throwing together a cheap bundle to entice the consumer that he is getting a great deal. I bet the chargers aren't even 1000ma which would be the minimum need to charge our tablet if it supported it.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
charging and running a 12v device thru a 5 v port.. IF acer figures this out or any other company as in the one the OP is posting..

This company will RULE THE WORLD. BY SOLVING THE ENERGY demand crises in the world... Getting a bit over double energy as you put into something...

Sheesh even a Lame Blonde chic figured this out the day I BOUGHT MY iconia. it Says 12V 1.5 a on my charger... First thing i looked at so i could set my CAR INVERTER . for my tablet.. But with the battery life of the iconia I nearly never need it.. I can howerver charge my cell phone from the usb port in my tablet..

OP no offence but some companies will use popular device names just to trigger sales Read fine print and there exact specs. on any such device..

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Ok ..

Something just came to my mind.. .

I have a new notebook. that has a usb/sata port.. Now i know it required a special cable that is designed for a usb to sata hard drive to use it with a sata hard drive without a enclusure and it runs at the speed of a internal sata port.. when you connect a hard drive to this port . it shows up as a sata drive not a usb drive..

the drive i use is a 3.5 inch 2 tb hard disk that is 12v-5v..

so with this said. its actually pliable that this could work.. But im thinking our iconia does not have this type of usb port.. I will add the 12v usb /sata cable and hard drive will only work on that one usb port on my notebook. the others will not even register it.. If this is a device used in a usb/sata then connected to the Power port of the iconia.. there is a chance such a device COULD be created...

ok im rambling.. Because i DO NOT THINK THIS IS EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT.. most people do not even know this usb/sata shared technology exist....

LAME ERICA AGAIN.. sorry for stealing your thread op.. was just THOUGHTS
[Acer Iconia A500] smishra:
Dont be sorry, it is very interesting input. I am quite annoyed though because I was actually pretty stoked about having a USB charger. I agree the battery life is pretty good on the Iconia but there are always those days where you forget to charge the thing before going to work. (Thats what got me looking on Amazon in the first place)

I am doubly annoyed that someone might actually buy this and get a big disappointment when the product actually arrives.

Very curious about this SATA / USB port though. Time for some google fu!
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
i read the manual from HP with not much said in there other then its called a. USB/e-sata port.

I do also know its usb 3.0 standard this notebook is the HP dm1-us3020 model.I think the z version of this notebook does not have this port.the notebook is based on the and Fusion CPU.and gets 7 plus hours batterylife with moderate use.

Charging it is another story.its I think 9 cell li 19.7 v charging brick spent 125.00 for car inverter for this thing grrrrrrrr.

OK im at hair salon and its my turn.

wish me luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
i believe what you're talking about is an eSATAp port. My (Toshiba) Satilite has one, I just use it as an extra USB port. :P

*Googles*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESATAp

Some good stuff in there.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
here is tthe cable I use .not sure if its the same brand

http://www.amazon.com/eSATA-Combo-P...LHVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325966252&sr=8-1

Yes that is the port.as I said above it will run a 3.5 hard drive connected with nothing more then a cheap USB to e-sata unmanaged.(no chips or resistores in cable) type of cable.for all I know all newer notebooks might have one.

I was just making a point that you could in theory charge your Iconia from this port to the Iconia power port.

As the hard drive requires12 vfrom my knowledge.but im not cutting my cable to try it.Don't ask Giggles.
[Acer Iconia A500] mtmerrick:
Very interesting. According to wiki, laptop eSATAp ports deliver 5v and desktop eSATAp ports deliver 12v. Not sure where in the computer the extra v come from.

I don't have the charger with me so I don't know the specs but I'm wondering if a USB 3.0 to iconia power plug cable would hypothetically work?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Amazon item from op

I got very frustrated after looking around on amazon today for something diffrent.. Frustrated seeing this add for the product you talk about all over the iconia a500 searches on amazon.. So i emailed them about this product . giving them the specs of the a 500 along with a link to the required charger. I also did a review of the product warning anyone from buying this...

I suggest others do the same ITS JUST OUTRIGHT FRAUD...... the seller sent me a response stating the device will do what it says. well not for my iconia it will not..

There are a number of things that affect this. Most importantly, use CPU spy to check how much time your phone spends at each frequency, or rather in deep sleep. Some monitors in certain settings will keep the phone awake, draining battery.

Is anyone really ever away from a charger for 20 hours? I'm on stock from unrooted with the screen at 70% brightness and get a minimum of twelve hours everyday with moderately heavy use.

power cycling lithium ion batteries is unnecessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Deep discharging a LiIon battery is not only unnecessary it's downright harmful to the cell - compared to more frequent but shallower dis-/recharging.
