I had my nexus for a few months now and the charger cable is now broken, it charges still kinda.... But I have tried other cables they either don't even charge or take more than a day to charge my nexus. Did anyone else charger cable break easily or is it just me? And do you guys know where I can get another one from?
If charging with multiple cables on the same charger is flakey, sounds like your charger is going bad. Make very sure you're using 2A charger, not just "some USB cable came with a phone." Look at the fine print on it under INPUT and OUTPUT. Phones often come with 1A or 700mA chargers that don't produce enough current for the Nexus 7 to charge quickly. The Nexus 7 charger is a 2A (2000mA) charger.
I've bought AmazonBasics and MediaBridge cables on Amazon, both good, sturdy, support good current flow on a 2A charger. Monoprice.com also sells good quality, cheap cables.
Amazon.com: AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B (6 Feet / 1.8 Meters): Electronics (often out of stock, but keep watch, now cheaper than a year ago)
Amazon.com: Mediabridge Hi-Speed USB 2.0 - (6 Feet) - A-Male to Micro-B Cable: Computers & Accessories
Amazon.com: PowerGen Dual Port USB 2.1A 10W AC Travel Wall Charger - White: Kindle Store (I bought one of these in black for work, charges my N7, and my N4 through the LG Nexus wireless charger, which requires 1800mA to work)
If you're coiling up a cable for travel, I recommend coiling it in a circle with a Velcro tie, don't bunch it in a "8" pattern that puts repetitive bends in the same spots.
Hope this helps....
