So the Nexus 7 Dock also charges the unit? What powers the docking station?

The already existing power supply and cable you got in the Nexus 7 package.

Yes, the docking station charges the Nexus 7 via the gold pins (pogo pins) on the side of the unit. The docking station is powered by the same USB connector that originally comes with the Nexus 7. The advantage of using this method to charge your Nexus is that you will no longer wear out your USB connector due to repeated charging of your device as the Pogo pins do not require your device to "snap in" and therefore wear out.

The dock for the Nexus 7 offers drop in charging and landscape mode docking. It also sports a 3.5mm audio jack, supporting external speakers/headset. The USB docks work by connecting to the micro-USB port in the bottom of the tablet when it is in the dock.

Been having issues with random slow charging on my N7. Anyone with the same issue notice if the pogo plug charging remedies this issue?

The Nexus 7 Dock only routes power from the charger that came with your Nexus 7, which you plug into the back of the dock, to the tablet. The dock does not have any charging capability without being plugged into the wall.

The Nexus 7 dock has a Micro-B USB jack on the back for power and uses the same cable that came with the Nexus 7.

I use the USB cord that came with my nexus 7. You can plug it into an outlet or you computers USB.

Mine didn't. All I know is that I have tried all of my USB charging cords & they will not charge the docking station. In order to charge it I have to charge the tablet then re-dock. I am very unhappy with the dock/keyboard. Good luck!!

It has (not necessarily proprietary) a rounded plug the charges it. I'm not sure whether the USB 3.0 port can charge it because I haven't tried. But it is a full size USB. And the docking station charges it as well. The docking station charges the tablet automatically. But there is a wire that you connect to the dock and to the keyboard that goes from the full size USB port on the dock to the micro USB on the keyboard. The keyboard only charges through the dock. Meaning the keyboard offers no extra ports for use. Although while charging in the dock/stand there are 3 USB 3.0 ports on the back that can be used simulatneously. Also you cannot charge it while it is in (in the dock) the case that they provide. The case has the keyboard permanently attached. And I actually love the case. You can charge the device while it is in the case as well with the provided cable. This thing is very big. Almost the size of my 17 inch laptop. It is also very fast. It also has two sleep modes. One is different than my other windows 8 device. Make sure you update it once you get it. I strongly (very strongly) suggest you call aver and find out the right order to do the first updates!!! I followed the acer website and that turned out bad. After the first updates...simy let windows 8 handle the updates...it is much better that way. I5 in a tablet fun for gaming as well as everything else!!

It charges the battery and fully functional while it is docked (charging). They also included a screen protector for free!

It's a docking station that allows you to plug in to an amp or receiver. It does charge as well.

Only with a USB cord. It doesn't sit in the device like shown. I bought it for the same device and was disappointed that it wasnt a docking station for that device.

I am not sure of the model numbers and such, but the charger that came with my tablet is exactly the same as the docking station as well. In fact you CANT use any other charger, sadly, it is proprietary.

It's suppose to. I only bought it for the cord. I've never actually set it up. I have a cover on my Nexus 7 and I'd have to remove it every time I want to charge it so I just plug the cord into the tablet. Sorry, I don't have any positive feedback about the dock. Have a good day.

I don't normally use Qi with the Nexus 7 (I use it with a Nexus 5) but it doesn't block Qi charging for me. I have one of those $10 rectangular Qi chargers from eBay and it certainly activates and charges when you set the Nexus 7 on it while in this case. It seems to pick up about 1% every minute or so that I leave it on the Qi charger.

Which docking stations do you have? I bought a Belkin wall plug thing from amazon. Three outlets and two USB chargers.

Hi Maureen. It is a Qi charger. It uses an induction coil in the charging station and a coil built into the Nexus 7 to charge without needing to plug into the tablet. It's designed for the Nexus 7, though it would work with any Qi enabled device if you lined it up correctly in the charger.

The slimport does not have to be connected to a power source. I've used it both on my nexus 7 and nexus 5.

In addition to the USB port on the dock, there is also another micro USB port on the tablet. It also comes with a small cable to convert it to a traditional USB port so you can connect any USB device directly to the tablet. Also the power cable can connect to the dock to charge both batteries at once or to the tablet itself to charge just that battery

Your regular tablet charger plugs into docking keyboard and takes care of charging needs on tablet. Keyboard requires no charging.

No. I don't remember if the tablet did either. It doesn't really matter because they both use a micro USB connection. Stupidly, the dock does not charge the tablet when the tablet is plugged in. Also, the keys and touchpad are not very friendly. The only reason you really need the dock is because it has a full size USB connector that can be used to plug thumbdrives in for transferring data.

Hi Alex It is just the image. This dock will fit the Nexus 5. Thanks for pointing this out. I will have the image updated. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. RND

No, the 2012 model has a different (actually better) dock.http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-7-2012-Docking-Station/dp/B009UQZPA0
