I ran into this with the 700mA BlackBerry charger by my home theater, but I used a generic 1000mA charger with no problems (search Amazon for B005F9W6DU to find my model). I believe that the stock Samsung charger is also 700mA.

EDIT: Just for kicks I hooked my phone up to my HP power supply via a cannibalized USB cable. I measured just shy of 1000mA when plugged in directly. When plugged into the MHL adapter I was just north of 400mA. I'll have to explore more, but what I don't understand is how I was able to play a movie and not lose any charge at that charge rate. I suspect the voltage of the cheap-o USB adapter may be a bit on the high side, allowing a faster charge over the same current (with a non-zero risk) but that would require investigation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea I think this is the cause of the confusion. The standard charger is slow. Seems it can't keep up with charging while using the phone. I have TONS of chargers because I'm an IT admin that services hotels. They always have a box of left over goodies behind the front desk (good tip to know). They are always happy to get rid of that crap. I always find some awesome universal chargers, backup batteries, laptop chargers, cell phone accessories, etc left behind by guests.

Good to know it'll work with the right equipment.

2 things. Its smooth video with audio and it charges just fine . Get the one shown. I have it, works great. Use a battery pack when you don't have a close outlet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdbower:
More good advice. I have a pair of APC UPB10 batteries because I can't stand the thought of buying spare batteries (and custom chargers) for every phone and Bluetooth device I own. With 10,000mAH it's enough to last me when I'm away from a power source, plus with the GN I don't need to worry about spare batteries making NFC more painful to use.

How do you turn on video out? I plugged it in and it doesnt work right off....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Samsung in-box AC charger is 1A. Their DC car charger is .7A. I picked up the Samsung OEM MHL (actual Samsung, not a fake) dongle with the OEM Samsung charger, it still drains a bit when in use. Since it's just a bit, the phone naturally gets blazing hot.

The official MHL outputs at 720p (having used two different MHL kits, it seems that's the phone's output most of the time), unless I'm playing a 1080i/p movie, where it switches output to 1080p. Does the one you have do the same or does it up-convert to 1080p all the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vladimirhtg:
Can anybody confirm that this is a worthy purchase?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soulicro:

The cable works. If you have a use of connecting your phone to the TV, then its worth it. If not, then it isn't. You can check plenty of videos on YouTube to see the cable in action with our phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dothedyu:
Did anyone try flash videos directly from a website? Youtube and videos from file work fine but when I try playing a flash video through a site, the video keeps flickering. I told the seller and got another one shipped. Same thing though. Wondering if I got two bad products or if this just happens with flash.

There are a few HTC phones that have some specific battery guage software/hardware that it is beneficial to...other than that the claim is that it does absolutely nothing

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] justbenice:
After alot of way to clear battery stats with nothing good now i have best way to clear it and i do it everytime i flash new rom:

you turn off your phone and charge it to 100%. After that you take the battery out and wait 5minute and put it back. Don't turn on your phone, keep it off and charge, you will see that the phone now not 100%. Wait to it charge to 100% and now your batter good to go!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
I use Battery Calibrator from the App Market... What I do is I let completely the battery die and then full charge, then I use battery calibrator to calibrate and reboot and done! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
The OP is correct.

Wiping battery stats has got NOTHING to do with battery life, battery charging or anything of that kind.

Here is another good explanation. Wiping battery stats is a total MYTH !!!

Chappatti I'm very disappointed in you, resurrecting a 4 month old thread, tsk tsk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
Do you realise what a shock this is to me? And other folk who have happily been dreaming of great battery effects with battery stats?

EVEN IN THIS POST HERE, there is no critcal discussion, no devs have chimed in and this myth has remained for all to belieive. There is almost NOTHING a hacked ROM can do to improve battery life BY ACTUALLY AFFECTING HOW THE BATTERY CHARGES. This is a big statement. It is really a kernel thing, and all the claims that this or that ROM has great battery life is just a fluke.

I mean, if your battery is acting flaky, then there is a deep kernel issue, or even a hard battery problem?

I mean c'mon, how come this is not common knowledge? Or am I the only gut in the dark.....

Hey, If I had not found this post, I was going to start my own post, and SHOVE this down people's throats !!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Just because i feel like a fool !!!!!!:D

EDIT: OKay, so then, keeping a stock kernel in the ROM will makes MORE sense ASSUMING it has the best optimization of the wakelocks. So a custom kernel is only good for battery life if the dev has dajusted the wakelocks properly.....now I see the light !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Well, since it was I who helped you see the light, I'll explain my friend.

Different roms MAY have different battery life depending on build.prop tweaks (control CPU scaling and power bias) as well as framework changes that may or may not cause wake locks.

Wake locks can also be present in a rom but never manifest themselves for cetain users, because of the apps they install. Often times they are extremely config specific.

Custom kernels on the other hand can help battery life significantly. They may eliminate certain wake locks, add different cpu governors that have better scaling, and of course the ability to under volt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andrewsnh:
Battery status - it is only "battery status" in status bar. You need clear it if you changed battery on new or bigger. This is need for correct % information in status bar. That all.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
I'm not one to complain when it comes to the RAZR, I absolutely love it, but I kinda feel like the MAXX is a response to all of the battery life complaints (which I haven't experienced myself). If you compare the 2, they're damn near identical (the only differences being a downgrade of the front facing camera to 1.3 mpx, and a 1.9mm width difference). I feel like all current razr owners should be entitled to a maxx, seeing as we can't upgrade our batteries on our own. To me, Motorola has fixed the battery life issues and introduced the fix as a new device, which its not (in any meaning of the term).

Just my 2c. I plan on making a few phone calls to find out more...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
Nope. If your mad just for battery life get a power pack like i did.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bebeau25:
I don't think the razrs battery is any worse than any of the top devices available right now. Yeah it sucks, but they all suck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
Like I said before, I love my RAZR, and haven't had any issues with battery life.

My point is more that Motorola's releasing the MAXX advertising that it's a brand new device with "the best battery life available" when really, it's just our phone with a bigger battery. That kind of update (not upgrade) should be made available to existing razr owners, since we can't just replace our batteries with a bigger one... Nothing else on the MAXX has been touched, or made better...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] seanmcd72:
I'm @ 50% after 11.5 hours. I could care less about the Maxx. Every time you buy an electronic device, a "better" one will soon follow. Just be happy you have the one you bought. I only have 1.5 years before I start obsessing over the next one...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evltwn72:
Downgrade the front facing camera? It's always been 1.3mpx. You might be confusing it with the Rezound, which I believe is 2.0mpx. But since I bought my RAZR in Dec, I have until this weekend to actually return it and go back to my OG Droid. Which is something I'm seriously considering. Don't get me wrong, I love everything about the RAZR except for battery life. I'm sorry, but the reason I bought this phone was for the 4G connectivity and it's speed. I don't really want to have to dumb down the phone by turning off the 4G radio and it's GPS functions just to help save battery life. With my Droid X I had the larger battery which helped it last all day while working. With the RAZR, I maybe get 8hours. So I'm looking forward to the RAZR Maxx.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yyhd:
Oh so true.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattfox27:
I was at first but when i saw a video at ces and they said it was thicker and heavier then the X2 and Iphone 4 i wasn't miffed too bad i came from an X2 and the weight size is a huge improvement for me much easier on the pocket and in the hands. Now if they had upgraded hardware than i would have blown my top.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Instead of buying a RAZR MAXX, you can simply wait 2 months, buy its battery and back and mount it on your RAZR. It should fit (just by eye, I'm not sure of what I'm saying).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
No. My battery life is great. Not interested in a thicker RAZR, the whole point of the RAZR is to be as thin as it can be.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattfox27:
Or you could wait 3 months for the Droid VIGNA with a 4ghz 19 core ANaL processor with a QQQQHDDDDD 12.1" screen which also has a the new pleasure port for men and pleasure attachment for women. HA HA HA "Ba - Dum -Bum"

[Motorola Droid RAZR] yyhd:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
I get a feeling the Maxx was made to fit the 4G users.

With the 3G edition of the razr, I never need to charge it at night, I can easily go two work days without a charge. But I usually charge it anyway, in case I get hooked on a new game :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Deleted member 2488575:
Is the maxx thicker than the Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] WingedGuardian:
Or, you can call in to Verizon before the original Droid raze loses value, complain about it, say you want a new phone, and request the nexus. (Which is the same price as the razr currently.) Deal with the nexus until the maxx comes out, then call back and complain about the nexus and sweet talk your way into getting the Maxx. You just have to make sure you trade in your razr before the price drops (which is why you have to get the nexus for a while) although i would only do this if you found it to be worth your time, since calling Verizon can be a pain...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
I'm gonna stick with my razr the maxx looks weird I like the slimmness and the camera hump I guess its cause I had a x before this. But I'm replacing this razr because of stuck pixels and I'm gonna try out the white razr I think.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
It's 1.9mm thicker, so not really...

\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//

http://android-gz.com
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milesg:
Except those 1.9mm are what make the RAZR special!

The RAZR Maxx is the same thickness as an iPhone 4 or Galaxy Nexus.

i was a blackberry user for >8years, and knew that polished turd inside and out.

i made the leap to Android when the GN came out with ICS. while i am more than pleased with the device, it is definitely not geared toward a power corporate environment.

specifically: i can not view event / calendar invites in gmail on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus when sent from an outlook account.

When someone sends me a meeting request, I get the notice in my mailbox, but none of the meeting details are displayed (like date, time, location). All I see is who sent the request and whatever they typed in the body.

I do NOT have an option to accept/decline the request. i can only go search my calendar for it (assuming i have enough info to use for the search), and it shows up in the right spot. But that is a royal PITA

i can not view .ics or .ical invite information in the body of the email. i have narrowed it down to only outlook.

any suggestions / options / tips for someone striving to love android??

Maybe it can improve speed and performance of an Ace (just like with G1).

-in CM7.2 (RC0) WiFi signal jumps between low and high

-in XKPP WiFi cuts sometimes (truns itself off and immediately on)

-in above FWs it can take so long to obtain IP adress

Anyone have any good recommendations for VNC apps? I just rooted and was playing around with BT5 using pocketcloud and it seems pretty smooth. However I was wondering if anyone knows a vnc app that supports mouse right click and can disable long clicks. When I long click, i'm usually dragging a scroll bar in BT5, which translates to dragging the screen around in the VNC client which is kind of annoying.

also, when I don't have internet, i can't seem to vnc into bt5. Does anyone know if this is normal?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smasher816:
you should be able to vnc into localhost:5901 without internet. Localhost=your local device.

need internet free vnc

Ok so I've got a home WiFi network. I do not have internet.. The WiFi is used for sharing info from my desktop with my Xbox DVD player allow me to print from phone etc. Basically huge share server. But now I would like to beable to control my phone via PC through WiFi and visa versa control PC through phone on network. I've seen many tutorials that say plug phone in via USB and tether. I don't want to tether as it will use my data and here in Canada our mobile plans are absolutely ridicoloius period let alone data. So I have a small amount of data and going over it always seem to result in my bill doubling... An already $70/ mo plan. So I want to beable to setup a vnc server over my WiFi without using data/internet/3G or anything.

Any ideas?

i'm not good at C++, but here goes.

1- it means raise the ahb bus clock whenever cpu clock is passing 787200khz (787mhz)

2- frequency that is listed not always enable by default, eg

{ [B]0[/B], 120000, ACPU_PLL_0, 4, 7, 60000, 1, 3, 61440 },
{ [B]1[/B], 122880, ACPU_PLL_1, 1, 1, 61440, 1, 3, 61440 },
