[Q] Slow battery charge via usb [i9020T]

[-CMX]

Hello, I just got my Nexus S this morning and as I am from Australia the UK wall charger that came with it is incompatible so I am charging via usb.

I did a forum search and read some threads and found out a full charge takes about 3 hours. My problem is the battery is charging only %1 every 5 minutes. At this rate it will take something like 7 hours to fully charge.

My question is: Is usb charge slower than a wall charge and would it be ok to charge my phone with a Sony Ericsson wall charger because I don't have anything else? I thought it would be alright but I am just checking because I only got the phone today and don't want to break it.

You can use any micro usb charger like your old phone or any htc charger etc. No problem. i always charge with any usb charger more than 500 mAH like 1A.

charger got 800 mA or 1 A , i don't remember exact number ...

If u want a better wall charger use a HTCs and get a thicker data cable... my phone charges fast .. the Modular AC that comes with samsungs phones suck ass lol .. and the think USB too.. buy a data cable that's thick and Ull be happy =D

I think macbooks have more juice in their USBs so I guess it depends on the computer.
But standard is 500mAh.

Ipad chargers and other tablet chargers are good for fast charging.

Are a couple of sites that sell good chronic ones.
