Amazon.com: PowerGen 4.2Amps / 20W Dual USB Car charger Designed for Apple and Android Devices: Cell Phones & Accessories
so theoretically it should be fine, but i'm wondering if the current jellybean update chargers differently now. i'm not opposed to buying either of the inverters that others have posted here, but i'd rather not spend more money if i don't have to, especially if it ends up doing the same thing as it is now.... any thoughts would be appreciated. |
Go to settings and look at your battery stats. Make sure it is saying AC and not USB. If it says USB, you need to do one of those soldering tricks to solder the data strips together (not sure if that's what you do, so look up how to do it). If it says AC, then I would suggest getting CM 10.1 (or 2, I forget what version they are on now) or other AOSP roms for that "swipe status bar to control brightness" feature. I use it to turn the brightness down when I am not using the tablet. If I keep the brightness up, it will slowly drain the battery.
