Can I charge my Nexus 5 while using a USB memory stick? Thanks.

I believe you can. As long as your tablet supports it (I think it does) you should be fine.

It should be able to do so, I use with my Nexus 7. But you might need a custom kernel that supports OTG + Charging. I believe Franco Kernel for the Nexus 5 does such. Hope it helps.

No. As far as I know, none of the nexus line of devices has a usb port. It has the micr-usb charger port which has multiple functions.

Yes, it can be charged with the USB, but know that the power button is very flimsy, and breaks very easily. The customer support sucks, as does their willingness to fix broken tablets with warranty protection in place.

I use it with a Nexus 7 (stock 4.3) and it will charge while connected to a usb device. The status bar doesn't indicate that it is charging, but it does charge at a slow rate (Maybe 500mA).

No, but you can use most of AC charger that has USB. I am using AC charger for tablet.

We are very pleased with our unit and it's performance, but have no experience charging Nexus 7. There are so many adapters provided with it though that it seems unlikely that there would not be the connector you would need. Even if yours is a specialty item, I would think that there would be some additional item available through the company to "adapt" the adapter if necessary. You will not believe the variety of connections possible with what is provided!

A friend tells me that it lets you expand the memory of a Nexus tablet using an ordinary USB drive. Certain other USB peripherals could also be used I would imagine. Just be aware that if you can't run this off AC or recharge the battery while the port is in use by something else. It's worth noting that this cable wasn't available at my favorite giant electronics/computer store; only online here.

Yes. I just took the micro usb/usb port charger that came with the nexus 10 out of its wall adapter and plugged the pogo usb into it. It also works in almost any micro usb/usb wall adapter like most cell phone chargers.

There isn't anything really special about "Andru" He's basically a charger made for anything that accepts USB (5VDC). So yes it should work with your Nexus 5 if it works with a USB charger (most are micro USB). I use Andru to charge everything from my phone to a quadcopter I have that uses a usb charger.

That's a good question. My colleague just got her Nexus 5 , and she already has a wireless charger, and she also just ordered this i-Blason product. So, I'll ask her again for you when she gets it.

If your USB drive doesn't have its own power adapter, you need a powered USB hub to use a fixed disk drive with your Nexus tablet. Without a separate power supply, the disk would drain the tablet's battery quickly.

Currently using the Nexus Orb (Nexus 4 but works with Nexus 5). Says it's charging but I am not convinced as the battery still decays sometimes. I think the plastic and kickstand get in the way, it seems to charge fine through the rubber.

judging from the images on the asus website, the location of the micro usb port, top of memo pad, bottom on the nexus 7, would indicate that it does not work, but i don't own the memo pad, so i can only judge from those images and compare to the nexus 7. personally, i wouldn't take the chance ordering one if i wasn't 100% sure it works. but if it does work, please feel free to post here

no, this is to plug into an adapter. the tablet will not charge through USB. if you just want to connect for file access, yes it will work for that

Yes. The Nexus 9 supports USB on the go. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/nexus-9-full-usb-otg-support-67997/

Paul, Hi; I use the Nexus 7 Dock for charging the tablet (and of course, as a convenient tablet holder). The dock is permanently connected to the electrical outlet. Data can be transferred from the computer (Desktop or Laptop) via USB cable to the side USB outlet of the tablet while it is in the docking station. No problem. Dave

So far (for me) one of the two USB ports charges everything I've tried to charge, and the second USB port charges the smaller amperage stuff like iPhone 4s. I don't have an iPhone 5, but I would expect it would charge well on either USB port. My Nexus 7 Tablet needs the higher amperage port to charge correctly, for example.
