Chargers

[dontlookatme]

what happens if i use the charger that came with the phone, and the wireless qi charger? will it cause a loop and blow up/short circuit? or will it charge quicker?

Not charge quicker with qi. It depends on how the qi is set up from manufacturer. Some like the tylt charge pretty good but they built it into there charger.

i have
Amazon.com: (UPGRADED) Anker? Qi-Enabled Single-Position Wireless Charger Charging Pad - White (AC Adapter Not Included but Micro USB Cable): Cell Phones & Accessories
well not rally this one, since mine uses the older charging port. this one uses a micro usb charger, which i wish they had before, but i got what i got. and it charges up kinda slowly, compared to the charger that came with the phone.

The TYLT wireless charger is excellent and charges significantly faster than other qi chargers but it's $69. I think it's worth it.

I bought this one at a local Fry's electronics store and when I plug in to the 2.1 amp side, it works fine

FRYS.com?|?Aluratek

And I even just used a generic Micro USB 3' cable like this one to plug it in

I have the 25% discount, but the discount doesn't show up for any of the inductive chargers.

Call vzw customer service. They'll credit your account. That's what I had to do.

Here is an internal email a friend of mine at Verizon received :

Good Morning,
*** Below is information from LG to address the Slow Charging Message some customer may see when charging their G2.
*
It's very important that our customers understand that their device is charging and working properly but charging time may*take little longer than expected.
*
Below is the statement from LG
*
LG STATEMENT CONCERNING SLOW CHARGING NOTIFICATION

*

The current G2 system notification for slow charging was implemented according to the previous version of VZW?s charging requirement.

Due to similar complaints from the market and end-users, VZW has since updated the charging requirement.

*

Here are the details:

Previous VZW requirement (applied to current G2 software):* If the charging source delivers less current than is required for normal speed charging, the slow charging notification shall be presented to the user.* Chargers that deliver less than 1500mAh current can cause the slow charging notification with this requirement.

*

Updated VZW requirement:* If the charging source delivers less current than 500mAh, the slow charging notification shall be presented to the user.* (Note:* most charges on the market now are 700mAh or greater)

*

LG will apply the updated requirement via a software update targeted for November, 2013.

*

Since most of the current adapters and car chargers in the market today deliver more than 500mAh, the slow charging notification should be a rare occurrence after the software update.

Uhrich,

if this is true, then why won't some of the 2A chargers I have tried work?

I don't know. Just passing that on. Sounds like they're going to patch it to just not show the slow charging notification, even though it's still slow charging. At least that's how I interpret it.

Chuckle. Instead of fixing it, lower the standard. Love it.

One thing I've noticed is that you have to make sure your charger AND cable are sufficient to carry the load. I have one charger that works with one USB cable but not another. What it comes down to is, the "slow charge" will charge it fine if it's just sitting and not being used but a "slow charge" won't work if you are using it for things like Navigation or streaming. It slows down the rate of reduction but won't sustain or replenish it. A good cable/charger WILL recharge it during use. So a "slow charge" charger is fine for when you plug it up at night but make sure to invest in a better charger if you want to keep one in your car to charge during navigation and other power draining usage.

The Touchpad Charger is the best CHARGER available for any USB device. It charges my iPad faster than the stock apple charger and according to Ken Shirriff Ken Shirriff's blog: A dozen USB chargers in the lab: Apple is very good, but not quite the best its the best charger around. Cleanest most consistent eergy etc etc... SHOTTY PALM HARDWARE LOL

Results of my testing so far with the Mediabridge 6' cable vs. the stock USB cable. These inconsistencies are rather annoying when I really just want to find a good car charger and an extra travel or 2...

I had found one and gave it to my wife so I had to get a new one. I went by Walmart tonight and found this one, the Scosche reVOLT c2 Universal

It has (2} 2.1 Amp ports and a cable that works with either Micro USB or iDevice 30 pin
