You can use any USB power source... What varies is charge rate. I picked up a 2amp supply from amazon. You have to figure in less than 70% efficiency... Especially taking into account non laboratory ideal conditions and manufacturing...

1 amp input will be like slow charging from a computer at best. 2 amp will be on par with regular wall charging if not better. You always want an adapter that is above what the charger can handle to make full use of the charger... Lower ones will still let it work to lesser and lesser degrees till it doesn't charge the device depending on supply and device needs
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
It can be used with either the Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 AC Adapters. The Nexus 5 is 1.2A and the Nexus 7 (2013) is 1.35A I believe. Neither will fully power the Qi charger, but it will still be enough to make it work. The charging time for your phone will just be longer since the Qi charger is not being provided full power, so the current the Qi charger can provide to the phone will also be lower. If you want your Qi charger to operate at full efficiency/power, try to use an AC adapter that is 1.5A or higher.

Since your Qi charger only requires 1.5A, the Nexus 7 AC adapter is the closest, so I would recommend using that one.

In the future though, you might want to consider buying a higher output AC adapter:

The Blackberry Folding Blade Charger is 1.8A output, and microUSB, so you can plug it directly into your Qi charger (or phone if you ever need to charge you phone at rocket speed!):

http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Folding-Blade-Charger-Playbook/dp/B004OZMWUS/ref=sr_1_30?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1391055305&sr=1-30&keywords=usb+wall+adapter

The Boxwave Fast microUSB charger provides 2A output, microUSB as well, so if you ever buy another Qi charger it would be good, as many Qi chargers require 2A input.

You could also just buy an adapter similar to the Nexus 5/7 without the cord attached. For example, something like this.

As for the app, with all of your criteria, I would suggest Battery Monitor Widget

Thanks for the replies

I've tried my nexus 7 charger with the qi pad and ran battery monitor widget.

Tablet showed at -432ma, sat it on the qi pad and it changed to -124ma!!

Why a negative figure ? I assume I'm using more power than its charging.

Would a 5v 2a charger male much difference ?

Hi

Just had a thought the value I'm ready is when the screen is on, out it being off make any difference ?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Try using currentwidget (free) to read just the current being provided during charge.

Set it to update at 1 second intervals.

Even with the screen on, if you are not using navigation, streaming stuff, gaming, etc. it should charge even if it is not getting the full 1.5A current provided to it. It would just charge slower not discharge.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Double03:
As I learned from another thread, the cable makes a significant difference. After using a 2a charger, current widget, and checking the charge of all my cables: 2 provided about 1.4a, a few 1.1a,and a large number of cables cut power down to 600 down to 300.

You need a capable 2a charger, a quality cable that you have actually tested, and a qi charger that accepts 2a and doesn't lose a majority when converting to induction.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Did it happen to be this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609087

You might have read that from one of my posts hahah.

I've said in different Qi charger threads to have a good 2A charger and to replace the included micro USB cable with higher quality cables (premium monoprice cables, or the Motorola Ecomoto)

I did a video demonstration on USB cable quality here. Didn't expect that drastic of a difference.

Hi.

I'm using a nexus 7 charger

1st models charger is 5v 2a

I've tried the following cables: included, nexus 5, nexus 7 (1st edition and 2013) and a couple of other cables.. All with very similar results.

Think I'll send this charger back and then with a recommended one.

It is possible to translate and adapt to the MT6589? thank you

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Trident. Prefer green.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Trident. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kjinmn:
IMHO, Except the color, I think I like the right one the most. It looks like the sides are rubberized which usually makes for a secure grip. On a phone as large as the SGN3, That is important to me.

I don't dislike the color in general, but it is one that will show grime from dirt and skin oils easily. Once I get comfortable with the feel of a case in my hands, I am hesitant to change it down the road. I would dislike changing the case 6 months or a year in because it looked bad, and I wouldn't want to pay to replace it at that stage of the SGN3's life either.

So... My vote is the Trident, in a darker color.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mexiking713:
Depends what you are looking for? Personally I have the black and the white UAG cases and I just ordered the Trident Cyclops in black.

For best protection with port covers it would be Trident.

Stylish and good drop protection would be UAG

Port covers and good drop protection then Otterbox.

I have a Qualcomm account, but I don't know (I never checked, that's right) if we can (as "user") report a bug..., because of this:

Nice, OP is looking good. A little thing to edit though, ' has is' doesn't really make sense and if your naming the gpu chip properly you might as well say snapdragon 800 instead of just snapdragon.

For your first question, you have the reply in it, you need an account, that's all..., why? It's Qualcomm, you know it's a big company then ...

Download the flashable zip in the OP, it is extracted from the Qualcomm zip file available from "the official site". On the "official site" you have a whole package for the N4,N5 and N7 and you need to extract the right flashable zip made by Qualcomm for your device. In the OP just download and flash (and make a Nandroid backup before, just in case).

You also have this:

How do we know if a ROM has these updated drivers? Any way to check?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Hi,

Take a look at the changelog of your rom, or ask to the dev if they are included?

As far as I know none of them included these drivers update (nor the previous ones).
[Nexus 5 General] rachanta:
My dev does not get into this. He depends on cm or AOKP to do such stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Ok, I know that...

Then submit a commit or something..., what can I (we) tell you more if it depends of CM or AOKP (and for sure it's on the "rom" side")? :confused:. Like I said check the changelog or commits of your current rom source to know.

If they are already included and you flash them, it will not hurt, right?

The last thing is comparate the MD5 for the files (follow the pat in the zip file and compare it to the files you have on your rom)...

you replied right.

i just replied to a different thing in his statement.
[Nexus 5 General] kufikugel:
Well I see simms point. Of course it was just a misunderstanding but a lot user think that evey rom and kernel outside there has real devs behind. The truth is that you can count on one hands which ROMs have real developer lol. And even a lot so called RD's have no idea what they are doing. Getting often a lot emails from developers where the basics of development are completely missing

That being said we can be lucky on hammerhead that the moderator team does quite a good job and separates rom and kernels strict into original development and android development. Well aside some exception lol like liquid and illusion xenonhd eg.

Summary: I think it is important that user know what is really going on. Even when they run later a rom which is not from developer and just kanged (which is totally legit) they can reference where the development comes from, can check out the original implentation, can address changes or bugs to them etc etc.

Just my two cents to it :D
