[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Kayak83:
That's what I'm saying. The new N7 uses a 1.35A charger, which is why it takes a 2A to charge the N7 wirelessly. Simply takes more energy than it normally would using the USB cable due to wireless charging being an inefficient method. Saving a little energy resource here and there goes a long way when it concerns a large base of people. It's 65% efficient vs the usb cable if my math is correct- assuming there's no loss with the usb cable.

Not that it didn't have any footprint in the manufacturing/delivery process...

(Eco-rant over)

Still a neat tech.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] chvvkumar:
Amperage is not like voltage. Just because the charger can output 2A doesn't mean the device has to take all that in. With voltage, if the charger outputs 10V, the device *has* to take in the 10V (if that is more than what it can take, it will fry). But, if the device is rated for 1amp and you connect it to a 100amp source (provided the voltage matches up) it won't make a difference. The 1 amp device will only take 1amp from the source.

Think of it like this; voltage blows and amperage sucks (from the device's prospective).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Kayak83:
Yes. Comparing amps to volts is like comparing gallons to miles.

Still, wireless charging takes more "oomph." Very inefficient. The 2A requirement is proof that something is lost in transmission. I'll exit here. I didn't mean to derail a thread on a good deal that others may enjoy!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] detonation:
The pad charges at 650ma, according to reviews I found online. But remember that this pad was designed for the S4, which comes with a 2A charger - I'll bet the 2A spec is more a proprietary requirement so you're more likely to by the expensive Samsung cable for it.

While inductive charging is no doubt less efficient (~60% efficiency) keep in mind charging from AC is only 80-90% efficient. I do get your point that with a mass number of people using it, that totals a lot of energy wasted, but put into perspective of other things (like coal plants that are only 30% efficient) it's less of a concern.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] RojasTKD:
Looks like a nice charger, but I ended up getting a Nokia DT-900 off ebay for $25 mainly because it included it's own power supply, and I don't have to acquire one or cannibalize one from another device.

I got the last one though so it was white and not the black I would of preferred.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] luckywabbit:
Got mine today. Tested using my older N7 (2012) 2.0A cable. It charges my N7 (2013) naked, and also my N4 with Asus bumper. So far so good. Someone also mentioned that it worked with their N7 (2013) 1.35A charger, so I'll test that out tonight.

In terms of size, this is much better than a small puck to put the N7 on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] drstk:

Does it work with the Touchpad charger?

I happen to have several of the 2A HP Touchpad chargers, has anyone tried them with the Samsung Qi Charger?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] al haqq:
For what it's worth I tested mine and it works with a 0.7A Samsung charger from an old phone. I would guess it will charge slower than a 2A charge (I'm using the original nexus charger) but for folks that don't have one and leave their device on it overnight as many do I think it'll work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] phonic:
I received mine about 10 minutes ago (FL). I had purchased an $8 2A charger from Amazon (their in-house brand) and it seems to be working perfectly. I have my N7v1 Moko case on it, and it can go through that. I'll have to see how long it takes.

By the way, the battery life on this thing is astounding. I'm at 28% and over 72 hours of casual use (about 2 hours of total screen time). My N7v1 would have died yesterday.

A quick question for the more electo-savy people here. I know that poor practices with batteires can shorten their life. Has their been any studies on wireless charging? Does that have any impact (good or bad)? I know it's a slower charge, but it might be more damaging since the current could be sporadic.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Got mine today and it works great. I like it so much more than my LG orb that I sold for this. The n7 fits great on it btw. Also op thanks for this find I really appreciate you posting it.

We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Oleschuldad:
Got mine today as well... thought it didnt work at first never having used one before.... I actually had a couple of extra Touchpad power plugs that I bought when HP had them on sale for 2-3bucks........so I hooked it up and saw the led light up ...then went out... thought maybe it wasnt working...put the Nexus on it and nothing.... took it off, repositioned it, then about 3 seconds later....poof, starts charging! Like someone else mentioned earlier...these things have outrageous battery life....I was at three days and four hours without charging and it was only down to 34% !
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] luckywabbit:
Okay, confirmed on iPad charger that it works. I'm using an older micro USB cable that came with an older Amazon Kindle.

For anyone using Nexus 4, I notice the phone has to be slightly higher than the middle to get a good charge. If you put the phone in the middle, it goes in and out and the charge is not so strong.

For the Nexus 7, I can't really see where I'm putting it down, just to try to keep it centered all over.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] sometimesido:
Thank you OP!

Not only for the great deal, but I found out that my N7 had issues with wireless charging!

Received the Samsung Wireless charger yesterday, tried with first gen N7 charger, new one, and some other cable from Samsung Note, and they all gave that three color LED signal, but it wasn't charging.

Exchanged the N7 at Bestbuy and sure enough, it's working with both the first gen and second gen N7 charger/cables!

If I didn't order this, I probably would not have known about the issue until after my return/exchange period was over.

Got mine today. Works fine with the cheap charger from page 1.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] raphtal:
bought three of these and there is a few things i wanted to say

1 - I have been using these for the ac adapter. they are white and match the device well but dont come with a micro usb cable:

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-RP-...375633556&sr=8-1&keywords=ravpower+2a+charger

2 - pretty sure google updated these things for the screen to turn on recently because the first few days I had to wait for the green led to turn on and now I just see the screen turn on when the device is placed correctly on the charging pad.

3 - I like my new toys = D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] phonic:
Ok, so something doesn't make sense to me. According to the description, it has a 2A port and a 1A port. Sounds nice. Except then they say that they share a combined 2.1A max output when both are in use. Which means you can really only charge two devices at ~1A max, assuming both devices will draw >=1A each. Since a device will only pull as much as it needs and can be over-amp'd, I don't see why they would make the ports 1A max only - there is not benefit to this. They could have just made both ports up to 2A so they would be interchangeable. It would also have been nice if the adapter could power 3-4A total, so you could charge a tablet and phone at max capacity at the same time.

Same issue here. Haven't been able to get it to charge yet my s4 works fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] phonic:
I wonder if that was a calculated oversight.

If the manufacturer realized there were production problems and X% of units had defective wireless chargers, they might have done the math and figured that so few people would ever even try to use it (which is true) that it wasn't worth holding up production until they resolved it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
That may be true. It wouldn't surprise me because I bet the majority of people will never try the wireless charging.

I've been trying to figure mine out. Sometimes I place my tab down and it makes a noise, other times it doesnt. Sometimes the screen will turn on, and other times it doesn't.

Its also slippery as hell because its tapered on the edges (like I originally thought) and I always find my N7 half off of it in there AM and partially charged. Almost needs a piece of felt or something.

I'm also trying to find a vertical stand/wireless charging solution. I don't like laying it down. I'm used to using a wooden device manager where all my tabs/phones sit vertically in slots.

I also charges through a 1/4" piece of wood. So cases should be fine.

Same here. The green light turns on if I correctly place the n7 on the Samsung charger. The light goes off if I lift the n7 from the charger. It doesn't light up if incorrectly placed. I thought the Samsung instructions said a yellow light would appear if placed wrong. This hasn't happened.

Hey guys, just giving my experience with the Qi Charger. Bought 2 Samsung Qi Charging Pads with the coupon for $50. Works great on my new Nexus 7(no defects/issues), Galaxy S3 w/ a Qi Receiver Pad, and my Dad's Nexus 4. I like the look, the color, and the ease of use. The Nexus 7 needs to be well positioned or it won't charge. The concave curves of the pad doesn't lend well to the size of the Nexus 7 as it can slide since it is much larger than the base.

All in all, its a great wireless charging base and I have no trouble laying my N7 flat on top and charging it overnight.

I also bought a 2 AMP Note 2 Travel Charger off Amazon and it's been working perfectly. I ordered from SF Planet.

Okay, very weird. Just after I posted my last message, I tried to wireless charge again, and it worked this time. I think there is a loose contact somewhere. So when I'm carrying it around in my bag and it jiggles, it probably reconnected. I've read that the contacts are not very good, so this might explain it.
