Was using a Sprint micro-USB plus charger (model PVX8823) with attached cable and standard USB port for 2nd device that I was using for my phone. Output is 0.65Amp which isn't sufficient and will slowly drain the N7 battery while in use. ~$35 at Sprint retail store. Wouldn't recommend for obvious reason.

Fortunately, had a spare Motorola SPN5400A 1Amp I bought with some screen protectors from Amazon because it was cheap like ~$5. 1Amp is sufficiently to maintain the charge while in use at near worse case running 3D games like Dead Trigger, Shadowngun, etc. So, 1Amp is minimum threshold.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Entropy512:
You need a charger that:

1) Is capable of 2A (1.5A may be sufficient, 1A is a little too low)

2) Shorts D+ and D- together - This rules out most iPad chargers.

If it says it is made for iPod/iPad it will not work without modifications or adapters.

Samsung tablet chargers will work.

If you take an iPad charger, open it up, and short D+ and D- together, it will work.

Sorry to bump an old thread but any feedback with that charger? I'm looking for one with 2 port to power both my N7 and my droid razr maxx while in car.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] brandonmaze:
Most chargers for android phones will work. I use my HTC charger for ,mine and I bought a car charge that has the standard micro USB connector but also has another USB port so I can charge 2 devices at the same time with 1 charging unit. You droid razor charger will work just fine. You just need to locate a charger that is capable of charging 2 devices at the same time such as this one

You'll be good to go with this.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SPreston2001:
Check out this oem charger from Sprint. Its a dual port charger with a 2a output and you dont have to worry about buying a knock off charger that may or may not perform as expected. It also can be used as a wall charger. Good price too....

So are any of these confirmed 100% to work? the one a few links back (GTMax) says works with iphone, and I thougth that meant would NOT work with N7. So I am confused on what will work, and I am already on my 2nd Nexus7 being I blew out the USB trying a bunch of differnt chargers for the car.

I would like something that is small and can have multiple USB plugged in, but not a show stopper, just hope to find something on Amazon (Prefer Prime) so I can oder with my case today. Really want to use this in the car more (GPS\GoogleMusic..ect.), but with no power not a great option.

Thanks in Advance,

[Nexus 7 Accessories] SQurel23:
I bought a 2Amp car charger but I'm forced to use a right angle USB cord because of the setup I have in my car. The charger seems to be fine but it's still very slowly loosing a charge while its in use. I'm wondering if its impossible to for the Nexus 7 to charge up while the screen is on or maybe my USB cord doesn't produce enough power. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Dropline:
The one I got charged with screen on and google maps updating satellite pics while I drove. Also had my thunderbolt plugged into same charger at the same time with teather running, both charged fine.

Charger is a little loose in the plug, besides that works great.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] SQurel23:
Thanks...good to know that it will indeed charge with the screen on. I'll check out the charger you got while still using my cable. If its still not up to par i'll have to find a different cable.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Dropline:
That charger has a cable built in, that is what I use for the N7, the USB on it I use for other devices. So I do not think your cable will help, not sure the Nexus7 will charge on the USB parts, but I can try and check later.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SQurel23:
Oh OK...I see it now. I think I'll try and find a angled micro UBS adapter to put at the end of the charger cord. Thanks again!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Dropline:
No problem at all. And the not fitting tight issue, I think that is a Ford issue... in my Edge even the HTC Charger was kinda sloppy in there. I think it is not as deep as most other ones.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] electricjelly:
I can confirm that the rocketfish premium car charger works great. My nexus7 says a/c charging and it charges quickly even when using navigation and the screen brightness cranked up. The cord is a good quality thick coiled one, and the jack plugs in securely, with a nice tight fit. I'm not sure they make them anymore. I found mine on ebay for under $7.

Before the rocketfish premium charger I tried the Arcadia Rapiduo, 10W 5V/2A Dual Port high-speed USB car charger w/ Free Full Speed Micro-USB Charging Cable (IMP80C) from amazon. It worked, but only with the cord that was provided with it, which is a cheap retractable one with a awkward micro usb adapter plugged in at the end. It was a loose fit and had to have pressure applied just right or it would loose connection.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] joelgrice:
I can confirm that this charger works and charges just as fast as the Asus wall charger. I have used it while watching a movie streamed from my home network while tethered to my galaxy S3 and it charged very quickly.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] nightryder21:
I have found the perfect solution and you can use any Micro-USB charging cable you want. Nexus 7 needs at least two amps to charge. Most usb car chargers provide 2 amps but through 2 host usb connectors. I have found a heap and great 1 usb port 2 amp charger to use. It is from Monoprice. It provides 2.1 amps through a single usb port.

Best of all it is only $4.86 plus shipping!

Just out of curiosity is it confirmed working?

I have a 2A charger in my car but my N7 does not appear to charge with it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheByteSmasher:
Targus

Hey All.. I looked forever to find a solution. The Targus 2A car charger has a small (3") adapter cable that comes with it purportedly for Galaxy Tab. That little cable with the data wires shorted on the device end allows the N7 to be charged from ANY 2A car charger. I'm using the adapter with a Scosche dual 2.1 Amp Car Charger

Adapter picture

Targus Charger

Edit: I just built a usb cable with the data wires shorted on the Nexus end (cut, strip, short micro usb end green and white, remake connections red to red and black to black, insulate splices individually, wrap all in electrical tape or heat shrink for strength and beauty) and it works with all chargers. Took about 20 minutes.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kmandel:
Cable with amp meter?

I really would like to tell exactly how many amps my N7 is drawing through various chargers. I can get a good idea on the chargers that plug into AC by using my "killowatt" a popular meter that shows voltage/amps/watts that sits between the wall outlet and the appliance. But I can't use that for a car charger.

I'm wondering if someone make a usb cable with a meter for measuring the draw through the cable. That would be useful for measuring draw for any USB powered gadget connected to any usb source (wall charger, laptop usbport, car charger, .._.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SkyBehind:
Lowes has a cheap car charger for about $6. It is really minimal in size, barely stick out of the cigarette/accessory port. It has two USB ports. The top USB port is 1 amp. The bottom USB port is 2.1 amps.

In total, I guess that would make the charger 3.1 amps.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TheAtheistReverend:
What you need (besides to report your findings!) is one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Auto-ranging-Digital-Clamp-Meter/dp/B001VGND88/ref=pd_cp_hi_1

Then loop the cable through it a couple times and get a good measure of the amperage through any cable after deviding it by how many loops you made.

just ordered one of these. I don't like that almost all the "2.1A" car chargers are 2-port and only charge 1A/port.

I love using SwiftKey. I have found an odd auto complete conditions though. When I am using Chrome and searching amazon if I try to type Nexus 7 cover and SwiftKey will input about 50 letters and go crazy! Not sure if it is part of a learned setting. Does anyone else see this on occasion?

Here is a quick example. It would not let me type "cover" without inserting a 7. This was not an extremely bad example, but it would not allow me to type it correctly or even delete the mistake. I will post a pic when it freaks out again. What do you think, is this just a badly learned auto correct function?

I went online today to ask if Samsung has any immediate plans to release a custom car dock for the S3 and the customer service rep claimed there are no official plans as of now.

I did not contact the number she gave at the bottom of the chat transcript though I may try later on if I get some free time.

Pretty sure you won't get card ock mode with any 3rd party dock unless you program a NFC sticker for the device.

I've used Arkon products in the past and they always seemed to work. As far a using one with a case attached to your device, I wouldn't know, but you may have to do some measuring to ensure it will fit within one of these mounts:

Im in the same boat as you. I think the best we are going to do is getting just any we like and add an NFC sticker on it to change the mode for us.

Im not going to take the case off everytime I want to dock the thing for sure , otherwise Id grab the infuse one.

It looks like most of them will fit on my Garmin bean bag mount so I dont have to stick it on the windshield each time as I live in Texas and it wont stay on in the heat all day Im sure.
