How do I get my Android device to charge in full AC mode? Hello, Certain Android smartphones, such as many Samsung and Nexus models, require a special charging cable in order to charge at full power. Using a standard micro USB cable with any of these...

Hi, I'm not sure I can be of much help. I purchased this to charge my IOS devices using IOS compatible cables (non-Apple). I don't know how these cables would work. Good luck

For charging the battery pack itself, it comes with a very short black cable to connect the device to a USB port for charging. If you have a samsung smartphone, you will still need the adaptor to AC power that is not included.For charging a samsung phone, it has no cable, you will use your phone charging cable to plug to the USB port of the device for charging.

They are not charging cables if that is what you are asking. I bought them based on the advice here and am disappointed to see that they are not charging cables. The correct pins are not shorted and if you plug it into a conventional USB charging port the phone will not show as charging AC, it will show as charging USB. This is not high current charging. If you plug them into a device that shorts the data pins then naturally the cables themselves can support 1A, like most cables can.

USB data pin shorted applys only apply to the cable you are using, so it doesn't apply to this or any other wall charger. So to obtain AC charging capability, please use a data cable that has its data pin shorted.

The amperage for charging would be base on the charger you're connecting the cable to. This just passes the info and power. I have connected to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and a power bin charger outpotting 2.1 amps. If I use a lower amperage, it'll take longer to fully charge.

It comes with one USB cord. That USB cord works to charge it and then by reversing direction, to charge other items. The connector works with any mini-USB connector--so most Android phones with the standard mini-USB connection. For other connection types, you need to bring your own USB connector. That includes iPhones.

Any standard USB cable plugs into the charger. If you are trying to charge something that does not use a USB cable, you will need a different charger.

The charging capacity is 2.1AMP, most phones & tablets will charge at the rate, which is limited to the device's capability. Therefore, if a specific android phone limits the charge to 500 ma, if will only charge at 500ma.

YES! - It allows you to charge using a standard micro-USB cable ( versus proprietary Apple cable ). I use mine in this mode all the time ( in the car, etc ) as the rest of my family has Android phones - and micro-USB cables are far cheaper.

Yup, there is. The mini usb is port on the unit itself is actually used to charge power into the unit, so it goes powerbrick-->mini usb adapter-->cable-->AC plug. When you are charging an android, it goes powerbrick-->cable (reversed)-->mini usb adapter-->phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 uses a micro-USB universal type connection standard in just about every smartphone on the planet other than Apple. This comes with a micro-USB cable which can both charge the unit, as well as be used to charge any device with a micro-USB connection.

It does NOT charge Samsung Galaxy Nexus (factory firmware) at 2.1 AMP rate. The phone decides to use USB charge mode at 0.5 AMP and gets hot and shuts off charging some time later.For those picky phones, I recommend ANKER Car Charger with Micro USB AND USB port dual charge.Charges perfectly on HTC MyTouch 4G with CyanogenMod firmware. (Didn't get to try OE firmware)

It --should-- come with a charger and it --should-- come with a micro to standard USB cable. This means it --should-- charge of it's own charger or off of anything else that puts out power to a USB connector, e.g., computer. Charging it could be the least of your worries.

Hi!! Don't worry about that. You can use a standard micro USB cable for charging, like normal smartphones. Thank you for considering. Sincerely,

Hi frank !! If your adapter has a small USB port , you just plug your regular cell phone sync / charge cable on it . Otherwise , I doesn't know another way to give a charge power to your phone. Just give it a full charge or try to get an adapter with the small USB port , like I got . I hope that was helpful . Ok ?? Have a great day !!!

You can use the same cord you use to charge your phone. Use any android cord.

No. I have Galaxy Note and Nexus 10 -- both are charging at an abysmal 200mA ...very disappointing.
