For car adapters, I started using the SCOSCHE USBC242M 2 port car adapter. It pumps out current similar to the stock charger on the N5. It's very tiny and does not need to be removed if your car socket is hidden away. I also use a retractable cable from eBay (yourcharger), so everything remains very compact. It's not as fast as the blackberry charger, but it is the smallest/fastest compromise I could find. Plus it charges iPads at full speed too if that's your thing (untested as I don't own one, but that's its main selling point).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
That's a good question. I run completely stock, the same in the OP when I did the tests. I'm not rooted, no custom ROMs, stock kernel, etc.

Everyone else is getting ~1700mA, it's odd that you are the only one getting 1.0 - 1.1 with all 3 chargers.

What specifically are you running on your Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Smallsmx3:
What app/widget is that you are using to show what mA I'd being drawn to the phone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ImolaDan:
Got one from the Amazon UK link, from Accessory Village, for use with a Qi plate from another thread. Pics:

http://imgur.com/a/J6Xrj

Note it's actually 2 amps, not 1.8. :good:

Also:

Yellow plug with the Blackberry logo

Serial/part number sticker on the side (and applied straight!)

Each part in individual baggies

Apart from one, the bags have all been printed on to (not sticky labels)

The additional socket adapters have been supplied rather than just the UK pins being a part of the main unit

- all little things I would assume a factory producing knockoffs wouldn't bother to reproduce.

Skipping through a few Playbook unboxing videos, it appears their chargers are identically packaged (both this version and the folding blade) - factory surplus that was ready to be boxed up with Playbooks if it hadn't bombed, perhaps?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dougshell:
There was actually a Franco kernel update that addresses charging, and now my charger is hitting about 1450mAh at 40 percent. I'd there something I need to do to my phone to get accurate results as far as how much current it's getting?(lowering brightness, disable Wi-Fi)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enhanced:
For Canada, the Amazon postings listed on the first post no longer has the correct prices. The 2 pack is now like 12 bucks and the singles are 6 bucks. Still not bad, but I feel good for grabbing them early.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wyrman:
Too funny. I just got mine yesterday 4 for $15.98. Too many ordering. Hot ticket I guess.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yup I know. That's why I mentioned that "Availability and prices fluctuate often". They change almost on a daily basis. I don't quite have the time to update the OP with the new prices every time it changes, so I put that notice up. There was even a point last week where the prices dropped to $4.49 each and $6.99 for 2. That lasted about 6 hours.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Beauenheim:
I get about 1600, seriously much better than the charger that came with my 520.

Thanks [MENTION=3746653]mmmmBACON[/MENTION]!!

Got 3, 1.8a blackberry folding blade chargers off eBay OEM $5.99, and I'm beyond impressed.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] grognaz:

It looks like the x3 charger deal for $5.99 for america has ended. Hopefully he puts up another auction for it.

There are still many x2 offers left from the seller.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hhamzah49:
Someone know a good one like this thats usable and buyable in the Netherlands?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] grognaz:
thanks for the widget name.

got some interesting results, i have 4 different chargers and tested them with different cables.

the chargers are all rated at 1A and one at 1.2A but the results were surprising. with different cables i got from ~300mA to ~1100mA.

2 cheap cables performed bad on all the chargers (like 200-400mA) and one cable performed good on the 3 1A chargers but really bad on the 1.2A charger.. strange thing.

so it might be worth testing your cables if you have different ones to optimize the current you get from the charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theboleslaw:
AFAIK the Nexus 5 can only receive 1.2 mAh, you need custom kernel to be able to charger beyond that mAh. I should post later the charger I'm using as it charge faster than the stock charger I kinda wonder it's only [MENTION=667179]800[/MENTION]mAh yet it charges 1%/minute, I have 3 chargers here.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I didn't mention the name of the widget as it was answered on both page 3 and page 4 of this thread. I don't want to sound mean as I'm sure you were genuinely curious, but everything you have mentioned, from the widget to quality cables has been discussion in this thread. I take it you didn't read through it first... :(

That is also why I joked about cables in the OP. Having to find good USB cables that work, or cables to make your AC adapter work right. Basically your best bet was to avoid the trouble and buy these chargers as they just work with no fuss.

oO :eek:

Have you read the OP and the entire thread? :( It kind of proves what you just said wrong.

I'm completely stock, unrooted, no custom kernel, no enabling fast charge settings. I and almost everyone else who has bought these chargers are getting 1600mA - 1700mA+. No modding needed at all, it just works.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theboleslaw:
yep I've read all :) I need to drain my battery so I can prove that I can also charge in 120 minutes(estimated time) from 0 to 100 using 800mA (vs 1.2 A vs 1 A charger that I have) :D

The Nexus 5 charging is limited to only 1.2Ah as what I've known if you also refer to franco kernel changelogs for the latest version http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus5/4.4/appfiles/changelog.xml

stated "Merged a pull request from rondoval which improves some Fast Charge code to treat proprietary chargers as AC power sources. Also removing some current limitation so that it will charge faster with Fast Charge enabled in cases where the input source current was higher than previous 1,2A limitation"

So there is really a limitation. I might be wrong though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] grognaz:
just sharing my experience;D i hope that is ok with you, did not meen to spam the thread.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vimesUK:
I have bought four of these chargers and I have found that their charge rate is similar to any of my other high capacity chargers when using any of my Motorola cables (SKN6378A), of which I have several (on my other chargers noted later in the thread), the charge rate has never got close to 1600mA in the past, much closer to 1000mA. That was with stock ROM and stock kernel. Both my father in laws N5 and my son in laws N5 (I do not get the opportunity to "play" much with theirs) behave the same. Theirs are stock and will remain so as neither of them would ever consider making such changes to their phones.

However for the first time I can see 1600mA to 1640mA on the widget with these chargers since I have changed to the latest weekly build of Slimkat and the latest beta of the Faux kernel. However that rate seems to scale back to around 1000mA as the charge gets over 80%. But I would need to test further, as well as remember to monitor it.

Even though I have seen that value noted on the widget I have yet to see if that means it is charging any quicker.

Prior to doing the above changes I had tried other branded and supposedly high quality cables as well on the Asus 2 Amp charger, a Samsung 2 Amp one and a generic 2 Amp type. I have also got a Anker 40w (8 Amp) 5 port USB charger but I have yet to test that.

I have read the thread several times but my preliminary findings remain the same.

Edit:

Added screenshot showing the charge rate after plugging in one of the four chargers bought, and the battery already at over 90%....

...when it runs down lower, I will use it up watching some videos etc, I'll post another.

And here is the other, when the battery level went down to 58%....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] theboleslaw:
Sorry for the misundertstanding LOL and miscalculation I was thinking about 100-160 minutes estimated charging time, when you get pass the 50% battery level the charging input is reduced to half.

Using 1A Samsung Charger. I will borrow 2A charger next week to compare it with the 1.2A stock charger.

This price definitely won't last long, so if you're in Canada and are interested, you should jump on it asap. A 3 pack is going for $11.95 on Amazon.ca. That's the same price they are currently charging for the 2 pack!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] charesa39:
ISSUE RESOLVED (SEE EDIT 2)

ORIGINAL POST: Anybody seeing any touch issues with these chargers? I bought a 3-pack right before they went out of stock. I'm testing them now, and all three give me the same issue where it registers ghost touches (if it registers touch at all). I think I've seen other people with this charger-related issue as well. Isn't this due to improper grounding?

EDIT: I am running stock/rooted 4.4.2 (stock kernel) with Xposed Modules like Gravity Box, App Settings and Xuimod.

EDIT 2: Nevermind. I had posted this after trying a few different outlets in my office at work today, all with the same result. Apparently, the voltage is off or something there in the building, because when I got home and tried them on my outlet at home, they all worked flawlessly. ALL IS WELL. These chargers are AWESOME!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
Are you saying it might be bad for the phone?

Also, for anyone that's curious I first tried charging my N7 2013 using the charger. The tablet has a 3950 mAh battery. It took 2 hours and 19 min from 16%-100% which was pretty impressive since it usually takes about 3-4 hours to charge.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] charesa39:
No. I don't think it would be bad for the phone. It would be more of an annoyance problem than anything. However, I have just edited my post. I had tried a couple different outlets in my office at work. Apparently, the voltage is off or something there in the building, because when I got home and tried them on my outlet at home, they all worked flawlessly. So please disregard that post.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
You need to pick up a good power strip for your work and home! Something that protects from spikes, irregular voltage, and provides surge protection. Then plug anything into that.

At my home I don't have anything plugged directly into the wall. Even if it is just 1 device, it still goes though a power strip first. It's always best to play on the safe side.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] charesa39:
I agree. I got a couple of the Quirky Pivot surge protectors at home that work marvelously. Don't know why it never dawned on me to pick up a surge protector for my office. Added to the top of my to-do list. Thank you!

PS I always appreciate (and enjoy) the originality of your reviews.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Znamir81:
Check the Blackberry Playbook 2A charger. It's the same as UK one but it has interchangable plug for different kinds of power outlets.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mancterrier:
Another great vote for this one. Got the UK variant and its birlliant. Long cable and charges quicker than anything Ive used before or since..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Zainiak:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] _jordan_:
I just bought two of em.

The cable is apparently 6ft long which is awesome.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Updated the OP with UK availability of the folding blade charger. This one isn't the international travel version, but the same charger that is available for Canada and USA.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DigitalJosee:
Hey bacon, any difference between 2A Playbook charger and the 1.8A Folding Charger?

More power, faster charging?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I don't have the 2A playbook charger so I can't really comment. It might go a little bit faster. Maybe shave off a few more minutes from the overall charging time.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
the ones I got from amazon work great. Just like the one i got with my Playbook.

Funny, some playbooks came with a a 2a charger, some a 1.8a like mine.

What are you using to get the large 4x1 widget in the middle of the screen that shows "14% - Charging (AC)

Ive used current widget, but it only gives a 1x1, and nothing that large shows up in Dash Clock...

PS. I just picked up 4 more of these things for a coworker. Everyone who uses mine at work loves it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] communeist:
I'm a newbie, fascinated by this conversation. I installed Current Wizard but nothing happens when I plug in a charger. Help! How do I get it to work?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ATMOSF3AR:
Great post, although i'll have a hard time finding this in India.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
It's the "Battery" extension in Dashclock. You need to add it as an extension and then enable whatever settings you would like to display. I don't recall if it's part of the standard pack, but if it isn't you can download the extension for free from the play store.

I'm hoping it was CurrentWidget you downloaded! :)

It isn't an app you run independently, it's strictly a widget you add to a home screen. Once you add it, it will pop up a settings window. There you can set the refresh interval time. If you set it to 1 second, it will basically show you your real time current.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] communeist:
That's the "damn you autocorrect" effect at work!

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Okay, so I added Current Widget to the home screen, plugged in the charging cable, and nothing happens. If I click on it, it brings up a "settings" page but that's it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone tried this on the M8.

I used a nexus 7 charger for the M8, I didn't check if the charge time was faster because I plug it before I sleep but the weird thing is that the

battery life is somehow

significantly better and lasts longer.

On my old ONE X, if I used the nexus charger, it would charge the battery faster but it will also drain quickly. I read also that using a tablet

charge (2A) will damage a phone battery on the long run.

I dont know if this has to do with the snapdragon 801 or the quick charge technology? or am I just imagining :P

what are your thoughts?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Traceamount:
Funny you mention this. Wether or not its relevant (Not trying to debate the fact), I like to "condition" my phone batteries when I first get them, full discharge - recharge while turned off for first 3-4 charges or so. But I did in fact use my Google Nexus 7 charger to do so, and on the 4th charge I got 6 days 8 hours before charging on light usage. Minimum 1 hour talk time per day via 2 30+ min calls, and 20+ texts a day. (Light facebook / game usage for the sake of seeing how long it will last) Not sure if it has anything to do with the way I charged, or the charger, but I'm pretty happy with it. Just on reg power saver, as you can see the Sprint version did not have Extreme power saver update yet.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
WOW, 6 DAYS :D now thats great!!!

I think it because of the nexus 7 charger
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Ok, some facts:

Qualcomm quick charge 2 will allow very quick charging (around 1 hour), but there are no chargers yet.

Conditioning your battery hasn't been required since we moved to Lithium ion, 15 years ago.

Using a charger capable of delivering more current won't make the battery draw more current, in fact, with HTC, it might draw less (the device checks the data pins are shorted to detect a mains charger). Thusly, it won't affect the longevity of your battery.

Using the nexus charger is highly unlikely to have increased the charge in your battery, or reduced the power consumption of your device. If it lasted longer, you used it less.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.dj26:
I dont know, after charging my m8 yesterday with the N7 chatger, I still got 16% after 17 hours of medium use. it seems better to me or maybe im imaging :D

anyways thanks guys for ur feedback
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stamor99:
I've been lurking for a while and attempting to solve this problem on my own but I've run up against a brick wall and I need some help.

A bit ago, I was running an older stable CM10 build with no real issues. Then, suddenly, one day, the wi-fi stopped connecting. It sees everything broadcast and saves the network, but any time I tried to connect it would, essentially, time out. It would try for a few seconds, then go back to saying "saved". I tried a few different things to test the connection, rebooting the tablet, rebooting the router, removing all security from the router, installing a new router, and trying a public wi-fi. The results were all the same: the tablet can see all the broadcasts but not connect to any.

So, I wiped CM10 totally from the device and installed CM10.1. When I tried setting it up, the exact same thing happened. It can detect all the wi-fi broadcasts but cannot connect to any of them (and as a side note, any time it tried to connect, the wi-fi bars would drop out from full to one bar).

All in all I tried installs of CM9 (that I had used successfully before), CM10, CM10.1, CM10.2 and Evervolv 4.3.1, each from wiped touchpads. EVERY one of them had the exact same problem. The wi-fi when in WebOS works great, so I'm not thinking it's a hardware failure. There's just something odd going on with android installs and my touchpad and I need help.

If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks!

I also noticed that there is a Dutch S200 ROM available at the moment.

Can't you just configure your device according to the Orange World settings?

I thought I would give the stock keyboard a chance as I usually use SwiftKey on my note 2. I thought it had improved until I tried SwiftKey again and realised how much better it is still.

What are your thoughts on Samsung stock keyboard?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bucket81:
I did the same but SwiftKey is so much faster no matter how you use it. That and the multiple language support is fantastic!
[Galaxy S 5 General] mrnovanova:
The samsung keyboard is like a big iphone keyboard. Can't long press for captions or symbols smh... What's the point?
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
I find a make so many more spelling mistakes with the stock keyboard. It's a shame really.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fastfed:
Made a post about this in another section. . I've tried so many keyboards recently, and over the course of many years.. Swipe was awesome when phones were only 3.7-4-3" .. it still is kind of neat , but frankly I never seem to use swipe. So swiftkey was for me as well.. bought it a long time ago and used it as my primary keyboard for the past many phones.

Recently I saw someone post another keyboard recommendation,. Called Kii Keyboard. Its pretty much the best of all worlds, what I love about it, its super easy to customize. So its like Swiftkey in everyway, but more custom options,.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Stovemeister:
Advantages of Swiftkey?

I've not used Swiftkey since I had the SGS1.

What's the advantage over Swype?

I have used Swype since the 1, and as my 5 arrived today, first thing i did after uninstalling the Optus bloat was to add Swype.

It is one of the few apps I've actually paid for :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] emuX:
Both SwiftKey and the Samsung keyboard also support swiping now.

The advantage of SwiftKey is you can use the swype style if you want, or you can do regular typing without spaces and it'll work out what you are writing. The latter technique is way faster and more accurate than swyping in most cases, and you can still swipe if you want as well!
[Galaxy S 5 General] jay-red:
I have been using swift key since the galaxy s2 and never looked back. Every time I use another keyboard I always wish it was swift key. When I first got my s5 I used the stock one for a little bit and was making mistakes left and right and the predictions were not very good.

Anyone that I have recommended swift key to loves it as well.
