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

Cj, my problem was that the nexus just would not charge at all. Slow charging may be a battery problem instead. I am not sure. I think I would start with the power block and USB cords. Then move on from there. The factory charger is 2 amps, but many cell phone chargers will work. They just will not work as fast.

Seems to charge at the same pace. I'm using the original AC adapter and cable that the Nexus came with.

Charging through the pogo pins seems to happen at the same speed as charging through the Micro USB port, assuming you are using the same charger brick. (No charger comes with the dock, you have to supply one.) I use the one that came with the Nexus 7. But if you have the all too common problem of an unreliable port, using the dock will solve that and charge your tablet reliably.

It definitely solved the problem for me. My daughter's Nexus needed to be held a certain way to charge, and even then, it took forever to finally reach its maximum. It eventually died and wouldn't charge at all. I ordered the dock and the Nexus 7 which was dead for a week started the very instant it sat in the cradle. If you can mange without it, continue using the default charger but the cradle does get the job done. Well worth the money, for me.

my Nexus 7's mini USB port no longer charges my device I now relay on the pogo port to charge my device and it works much faster than a mini-usb would. check the voltage on the USB input to be sure.

I suddenly started having problems with my Nexus 7 charging. I thought it was the battery and replace it myself. But it still wouldn't charge. It charged once off the computer USB port and then that didn't work. So was the battery bad, or was it the OEM or the charger itself or what. The parts are all pretty expensive so I ordered the docking station. And it works. So glad to have my Nexus back!

Pogo is so easy. That is its selling point. 2 chargers could be hazardous to both the Nexus and power supplies. Even small differences can cause reverse currents. Side effects may not be pretty. So to answer your ? I do not think it would a good idea. My Nexus 10 using Pogo charged from 12% to 100% in about 4 hrs.

Look at your N10 in its case. Do you see the pogo port (on the bottom side, 6 golden metal spot rounded rectangle on each sides) while the case is on? If yes, and there is some room around it (the pogo connector on the cable is not big but it needs its space), then you can use the pogo cable. Actually, it is about the same question than asking if the microUSB port on the N10 will be accessible with a case, it depends of the case.Hope it will help you!

I do not know about your particular phone's charging issues, but with my Samsung Galaxy s3 I learned that the problem (and apparently a common one with Samsung phones) is that the USB recharging port has poor quality soldering. I've ultimately found that a better solution than USB charging or even using the Lerway wireless Qi "drop-pad charger" is to use multiple batteries with wall charging units. I believe I've written a review for such a product - it was around $20 for the charging unit and 2 spare batteries. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how fast and efficient wall chargers/spare batteries are. I know have 7 spare batteries so I can keep several at home, a few in my office, a few in the car, etc. I can pop out a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged on in about 15 seconds. Forget USB and drop-pad chargers.

I have the Verizon G2 and this charger. When it's plugged in to the included cable the G2 reports that it is "slow charging". If the charger and cable really were providing 2A then the phone wouldn't report that.

No.. it only works with the Nexus 7 which has the 4 pogo pins on its left side

It's a cable which has 2 magnets at output end (where it connects with the Nexus-10). The magnets clamp the charger tightly and this allows a higher rate of charging than that can be provided by the normal USB charger (more number of contact points at the output end). The tablet gets charged faster. It's an absolute must to have a pogo cable these days as USB charging is not effective beyond the first couple of months.

The pogo charger works with the nexus 10, this case is for the nexus 7. The hole where the charger goes is about 3mm wider on each side of the charging port and comes out about 5mm from the base of the nexus. Unless you have an adapter to attach the pogo charger to the nexus 7, this case will not allow for a pogo charger.

Hi Marie. With my phone I haven't had those kind of issues. The only problem I've faced is that the battery seems to last a lot less now (understandable, given the fact that the cellphone is a little old now) Did you try using another charger, cable or even a computer? If so, and the problem persists, it could be: 1. the battery or 2. the actual port of the phone. For #1 I've seen some batteries not that expensive in Amazon, but again, if the problem is #2 you may want to look for a technician or start searching for another phone. These things are sturdy, but unfortunately, nothing nowadays is designed to last more than 2-3 years. I'm sorry if I can't be more helpful. Bye.

Hi, T. I charge my Nexus 7 (2013) on my Digi charger everyday. Have no worries.

I purchased my pogo charger seperately. I found it can charge the tablet while streaming video and music at the same time. The USB can't.

This Pogo Cable works fine with my Nexus 10. The cable is made short for a reason. It is to keep charging time and overheating to a minimum but you can use an extension cable. Pogo is magnetic and can easily be pulled off device. I don't recommend using an extension cable because it encourages people using device in bed or on the sofa while plugged in.

Mine does not charge or sync. Phone does not recognize the cable, even though it's supposed to be for a 5 and plugs into the phone. The wall plug is fine, however, as long as I use the original charging cable that came with the phone. Lame.

I believe it will. I find the Nexus 10 charges quicker with pogo pins than USB. I will play a few videos, and check battery label to be sure. Be back within a few days.

I had the same experience that is why I tried the pogo cable.What great results IGot. My tablet now charges much faster.

It's either the pogo or the usb port. Which ever you plug in first. The kernel detects and controls this. Samething as that you cannot charge your device with the pogo while the USB is plugged into your computer (even though you see the charging icon, it's actually not charging).

If you are talking about the mini port broken where you plug in the cord... Yes because it charges the tablet by using the pogo pins on the side of the tablet... Look on the side of your tablet you will see about four gold dots that is where the connection is made to be able to use the charging port.
