can you charge the nexus while using the USB port

I believe the factory ROM does not support charging in Host mode. There are custom ROMs that will support this. If you are so inclined, you might review this http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37755-timurs-kernel-usb-rom/

I probably won't be any help because I'm using it on a Galaxy Note 2, by it doesn't work for me. Only the data side, and that speed working just about 3 days ago.

It is possible to do both - however, L. Tullos is correct. To do so, you would have to root your system and install a different kernel in order to have the tablet charge while hosting a slave device.

I have not had success using both at the same time but that might be due to user error.

This cable is capable of charging the tablet, while the USB port is in use. The catch is the tablet won't allow it, unless you root the tablet and install a kernel modified to allow charging while in host mode.

I don't normally use Qi with the Nexus 7 (I use it with a Nexus 5) but it doesn't block Qi charging for me. I have one of those $10 rectangular Qi chargers from eBay and it certainly activates and charges when you set the Nexus 7 on it while in this case. It seems to pick up about 1% every minute or so that I leave it on the Qi charger.

Unfortunately you cannot, the USB port is only used for charging your electronic devices. Hope that helps.

Not sure, it has usb ports to charge from, one is a 1 amp, and the other is a 2 amp ports, so to outputs to charge things from. So if your Nexus has a usb adapter to attach to a charger, then it should work.

My phone ( Nexus 5 ) will charge in either position. My tablet ( Nexus 7 2nd edition ) charges only horizontally.

I have only used this charger with the nexus tablet and it's worked great. If you have your own cable to connect it should be able to charge a phone or tablet.

You can charge your tablet while you use it but I recommend you unplug it once its fully charged.

Yes,it will charge wirelessly. Just plug the micro USB power cabel into the charging dock and place your Nexus 7 into the dock.

Yep, I actually just received my Nexus charging orb yesterday and it charges fine. The orb uses some sort of rubberized pads to grip onto the back of the phone, and holds and charges it with any case.

No it does not. Nexus uses the Qi standard, if you want something that's compatible with your Nexus, look at Qi compatible chargers.

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

SORT of. The specifications (and Anker's site) both specify you can't charge the Nexus 7 with this device. In practice, yes, you can (and I have), but the Nexus 7 (2012) expects a 2 amp input and the slim only outputs 1A, so the charge is VERY slow (with brightness up and watching Netflix, the tablet will die even while plugged into the battery). The Nexus 7 (2013) seems to be a little more tolerant of the low amperage, but it's still a slow charge. Wouldn't recommend it as a primary tablet battery.

Mine just came with a usb cable, but you do need a cable to charge it. If you don't have a spare the one that comes with the Nexus 7 will fit and charge the keyboard.

I can't say for sure about the Nexus 7 but it has ports for most devices. I've charged Iphone/pods/touches, blackberries, KindleFire's and other gaming devices. I would think it would charge a Nexus 7 as well.

Yes, it comes with a 10-inch cable so you can charge it. The cable has two ends to fit the slots that on the charger. I have the nexus 5, so my cable attaches to the charger with the bigger end and the smaller end is attached to my phone slot. You can also use your own USB cable. I can charge my ipod using the ipod charger cable.

No, the Nexus doesn't truly dock with this keyboard, it just rests in a groove. It is a bluetooth keyboard so the two parts do not need to be touching to function.

Yes. When charging my nexus 4 it shows "AC" charging from multiple sources.
