That's what I grabbed. Currently everything is blank and I can't find my.charging rate amperage. Probably have to have at least a full charge cycle for data I'll assume?

Thanks!

It may take time for history to show. You can adjust the grid for smaller time intervals. I only know limited basics about the app though.

You and me both. I know it charged from 83-93% in about an hour, which seems somewhat normal for the higher percentages, at 95% it was taking in 754mA with the screen on...thats what I gathered from the top right corner anyway. Going to push it down to 5% tonight and see what happens.

Well, that was quick

Not gonna read thru 62 pages of posts to see when you ordered...can you tell me when you ordered, and from where? Thanks!

I ordered one from www.pogocable.com today, 2/4 and will post again when I receive mine.

Thanks!

Cable received yesterday 2/8 via USPS to Virginia, USA. Package appears to have been sent from Aliso Viejo, CA.

A bit of a weird smell, but hardly noticeable, and certainly not the overpowering stink some of you have experienced. Cable quality is top-notch and it looks like it could be an OEM accessory (minus a SAMSUNG/Nexus logo). Nexus 10 is happily charging away.

Guess now I need to find a new case with a hole on that side so I can charge without opening the case...

I ordered a Pogo cable from Amazon UK on Thursday evening and it arrived this morning, brilliant service considering how long some have waited for delivery from Korea.

It seems to charge faster than the USB but I need to check. Good piece of kit though, connects really easily.

I just go the app you recommended from the market. It shows that the battery is discharging with the POGO adapter installed and the screen on. The first attachment is with the micro USB port the second is with the POGO adapter.

I recieved my new Pogo charger today and it seems to work as advertised. I guess my first one was bad.

My bad pogo charger vs. My Pogo new charger.

Good:

Ok...so my bad in my previous posts.

Apparently I received 2 cables from the California distributor.
Because today, the one from Korea finally arrived.

And last night, I ran my Nexy down to about 7%. Plugged it in and noticed how much faster it charged. Needed it about an hour later (don't quote me on that) and it was already at 27%.
I know in that short time on the factory MicroUSB I'd lucky to be above 12 to 15% in that short time.

So it took 2 days to arrive? Mine is now more than a week in the making.

I bought one from Amazon and got it in a few days. Looks to be high quality, smell was not notable. Charging is about the same as the original as long as I use it with the original power supply. If I use the pogo cable with an after market power supply, it basically doesn't work at all.

Anyone else having trouble contacting the seller?
I ordered mine on the 3rd and still nothing yet. The best I got was that the order was "complete" (that was 5 days ago.) from their automated e-mail.
I tried e-mailing the same e-mail that sent me my order confirmation, but most likely nobody looks at that e-mail. I also tried sending a PM to the Magnector person that's registered on these forums but he/she hasn't replied to me either.
I'm hoping that my order didn't get lost somewhere.

I have emailed with them a few times. I sent the emails when it was the beginning of the work day in South Korea hoping someone sees it come in as it happens rather than be part of weekend/overnight backlog. I would try again now as it is about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday morning there right now. Email to: towncomm@naver.com Send enough details so they can figure out who you are (order number, name, whether ebay/website/Amazon, etc.)

Awesome, thanks for your help! This is what I've been looking for.

One thing I noticed about the charger is that you have to make sure all the pins connect at the same time.

Sometimes when I try to connect it, only one of the magnetic caches actually goes in. When I wiggle it into place, the battery status will be set to "USB Carging". If I reconnect the cable it will go back to "AC charging.

There is actually an orientation on the pogo connector to properly clip on the tablet. If you have this backwards it won't "click".

I ordered from Amazon UK and the tracking has been stuck at "processed at national hub" for a week now.

Not sure what's taking so long to "process" :-\

    So are there any places currently selling these?

    Not sure I got this from the eBay seller in South Korea that had his ad taken down.

    You got it really fast !

    Where are you located?

    How fast is the chargeing

    Thanks!!!,

    Yeah I was surprised too! the seller had an option for express shipping when I paid for $10 more, I didn't have a problem spending a few bucks more.

    I haven't used it enough yet to notice any faster charging, it went from 70% to 98% in a little less than 2 hours.

    I searched high and low and finally found an adapter that puts out 2.1A on each of two outlets - concurrently. Excellent quality. Same spec on each channel as oem charger on its single outlet. Great fit and finish too. Can support two high demand devices at once.

    I've been using it with the Pogo cable, and it is perfect. Link:

    It's here!

    Just wanted to let everyone know I got my Pogo Cable today!

    It is in my opinion extremely high quality build. I have so far used it with my wall charger and my car charger and it works fantastic.

    If I didn't know better I'd say was an OEM from Samsung or Google.

    I know I know post pictures..........

    OK I'll get some made and post them very soon.

    Just out of interest, has anyone actually measured what current the nexus actually draws from the charger?

    I've just spliced in my ammeter and with the battery showing 45% its currently drawing 0.59A and this is with the stock charger and whilst typing this. If I put the nexus into standby then it drops to 0.50A

    I'll do some further testing this week charging from 0-100% this week and let you know what I find.

    Btw this is using the USB port.
