EDIT - Post #6 has a quote from Kensington confirming the charger does not work with the Nexus Tablet

So been trying to get a dual-USB 2.1A charger to use with my Nexus 7 and my old desire-Z phone (I also have a 1st gen iPad so figured would be a nice perk for both ports to deliver that juice).

I even went as far as buying a new USB Cable thinking something was wrong with my cable and flashing a couple of different kernels (thinking it was maybe that).

Fact is whenever I plug my N7 into a Kensington AbsolutePower 4.2 w/ PowerWhiz (K39690AM), Battery Monitor Pro widget will say in green "AC Plugged", "Discharging", and if it does show "Charging", it's only drawing in around 130mA or so. But yet on my Desire-Z (G2) I plug that in, it'll show maybe around 500mA (it won't go over 1A because it's designed not to for smart phones).

However If I plug the N7 into a Samsung 2.1A charger that came with a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, The N7 will show a power draw from the charger a little above 1,800mA (and then goes down to around 500 or less once it hits 99%), similar situation with the samsung charger + my G2.

So I'm constantly googling trying to figure out whats up, and the only thing I've come across are various reviews on Amazon (they list this as a Dual 2.1A USB charger), with some complaints saying they don't work with Asus Tablets and another saying it wouldn't charge much at all on his Nexus 10.

So I'm wondering... what's up with that, and why does it not say it's not compatible on the box (though guess they sort of did by excluding Asus and Google from the list of brands on the side).

Its charging. Just the os is not showing it properly

Sent from a phone that's 2 Note-worthy, via XDA Premium HD app.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kbeezie:
As I said, I'm using Battery Widget Monitor Pro. IF it was only the OS it would show the exact same deal with the Samsung 2.1A Charger, Nook 1A charger, HTC 1A charger. But instead on ALL chargers except the Kensington one, it shows a much higher charge rate (on the 1A around 800mA charge, on the Samsung around 1.7A charge).

But on the Kensington one never more than 500mA (usually around 300-400). I even exchanged the unit for a new one, and still the exact same behavior. I think the powerWhiz feature of the charger is detecting it not as a tablet but rather as a generic USB Device and is not providing more than 500mA for 'safe' charging. Just like how it won't charge my phone past 1A since it's detected as a SmartPhone even though it's a 2.1A port.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] lewmur:
The N7 has a circuit to detect whether the USB cable is plugged into its charger or into a regular USB port. The N7's charger shorts the two data pins. If your charger doesn't short those two pins, the N7 will never go into "high charge" mode.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] graydiggy:
There is a simple mod to do. Either take the charger apart and short what the data pins should be on the usb port or short the data wires together in a cheapo usb cable at the micro usb side. That will make a charge only cable but it will give. What you need.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kbeezie:
So turns out I wasn't crazy after testing two of their chargers.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kbeezie:
Yea... I'm not taking apart a charger. I just returned the second one to the store where I got it and got one that did work. Also that method won't work with the kensington, with it's powerwhiz feature if it can't detect the device it'll limit to 500mA for safety.

Besides I've already returned the second charger (I exchanged the first one, re-ran tests, etc), and ended up getting an RCA 4-outlet power strip/surge protector that has two USB ports (one for 2.1A charging) that does work.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] khaytsus:
All android devices look for 200ohms on the data pins to determine if it is a charge vs data source. Except the handful of proprietary connections (ex:Nook Color).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NRGZ28:
Yep. All things said in this thread are true. What I've found to work great with the stuff I already have is a Samsung Galaxy S4 charger. That thing

charges the N7 at about 1500 mA. Measured with my multimeter. It's weird though,

it'll start around 800mA and after about 45s to a minute it will start pulling in almost double that.

Crazy.

You could pull down the "Hotspot Toggle Widget" from the play store. I use that to toggle mine on and off so I don't have to go into settings each time. Might tell you if it exists or is working?

I tried running the modaco toolkit in xposed framework, wallet starts but I get that annoying "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" error.

[Nexus 4 General] crazybawa:
Hi, so here's what happened..

A couple days ago I was speaking to my uncle on my Nexus 4 sometime in the afternoon. No issues. Sometime that evening when I was driving in my car, I had my phone hooked to the car stereo's bluetooth handsfree system, as usual. I was trying to locate a place on Google Maps, the place I was driving to, when suddenly the music system stops playing and switches to handsfree mode.

I did not receive or make any call. I was just using Google Maps. I quickly go to the notifications tray to see if a call is ongoing in the background but I don't see anything. Then suddenly my uncle's voice comes on the car stereo's handsfree, the very same uncle I spoke to earlier in the day. The next thing I hear coming from the system is a replay of our conversation. His voice telling me something, exactly as he had earlier in the day. I freaked out for like 10 seconds not knowing what was going on.

My uncle hadn't called. The phone somehow connected to the car stereo on it's own and started replaying bits from my conversation with my uncle earlier in the day. Exactly as I remember. It had to have been recorded somewhere on the phone for it to be able to play it back like that.

I panicked and turned the car stereo off after a about 10 seconds. It kinda left me shaken for the whole evening.

I wanted to share this experience with the folks here just for everyone's information, and in the hopes of finding some sane explanation for it all..
[Nexus 4 General] glaudrem:
I think you had a paranormal activity...

Just a joke. I really expect they are not recording conversations...

[Nexus 4 General] shadowcore:

Harry Potter and The Call Recorder
[Nexus 4 General] crazybawa:
Hehehe.. at first that's what I thought. And when I called a close friend of mine, who is an Android geek, his first question was 'how many have you had to drink'. :)

Jokes aside, I was absolutely myself, nothing in my system to impair my senses. It all happened exactly as I narrated up there. The audio from the conversation had to have still been on the phone for it to be played back hours later. Peculiar behaviour to say the least.
[Nexus 4 General] crazybawa:
No, I don't have any (specific) app for call recording. Unless some other app has access to voice calls and is overreaching it's permissions??
[Nexus 4 General] crazybawa:
I did share exactly how it happened.

No docks. Just connected via bluetooth, as I said. Both handsfree voice call and music streaming possible with the connection.

I have about 60 apps installed on my phone; after getting it that is (pre-loaded apps excluded). It would be quite a task to list them all. What do you mean by type of apps? All are from the Play store. Almost all of them are in the top 100 apps = very popular, trusted developer.

I shall go through them tonight and see if I can figure out which app might be doing this snooping.
