Perspective Nexus 7 (2013) buyer here, has anyone had any problems with the 7 losing it's charge while still on the charger after reaching 100%?

Eli, not sure if I got this because your question involved the Power Bot or the Nexus 7. I have a first generation Nexus 7 and charging is not the units forte. My first one died with a charging related problem in it's first 6 months and was replaced under warrantee. The second one is better but it will never charge to 100% if I happen to be using it while charging. If you are using a second generation Nexus 7 with wireless charging and a PowerBot I think it is safe to say that they will never charge as effectively as a plug in charger so while your unit may say that it has reached 100% it probably hasn't and if you are using it, even for streaming music while on the charger, don't expect it to stay at 100%. You may also have some program actively using you Nexus 7 without your knowing it.

When I got mine that didn't happen.About 7 months later it did stop charging tho. Id return it or have someone look at it. It might just be the charger, you never knew!

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.

Most of them get loose really quick. Check to see if it is charging when it's plugged in. If it is charging it will work. My solution for charging (to avoid plugging it in all the time) was to buy a wireless charging device, a Kidigi, then all you have to do is set the Nexus 7 in place to charge it. I don't believe it will work with a Gen 1, however.

Hi, T. I charge my Nexus 7 (2013) on my Digi charger everyday. Have no worries.

It definitely solved the problem for me. My daughter's Nexus needed to be held a certain way to charge, and even then, it took forever to finally reach its maximum. It eventually died and wouldn't charge at all. I ordered the dock and the Nexus 7 which was dead for a week started the very instant it sat in the cradle. If you can mange without it, continue using the default charger but the cradle does get the job done. Well worth the money, for me.

I doubt it very much. I have a thin case on my nexus 7 and it will not charge unless I remove the case

I haven't noticed the screen turning on and off with my Nexus 5. It stays continually charging.

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).

I have a Nexus 7 second gen with a Poetic case and it charges with no problem!

I've plugged my Galaxy Nexus into the 2 amp slot with no problem. In fact, when charging at home, I tend to use the 2 amp charger that came with my Nexus 7 because it charges my phone faster. It has caused no damage.

I have had my Sero 7 for a year now and have had absolutely no issues, however I have heard of the charging issue but my theory is that !most of the time folks are rough on the charging port of tablets, like plugging in and still moving around with the tablet which will put a strain on any device. Have seen this issue with almost every tablet my kids have had. It is always best to put the thing down and charge it. The world won't go anywhere for a couple of hours.

Paul did you ever find one for your nexus 7? I'm trying to do the same thing.

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!

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!

I am a bit confused. Can someone please explain the issue? Does the tablet stop charging for no apparent reason, or does the USB port get broken. Or do both issues seem to happen do different people. When I first heard of it, it sounded like the USB port was breaking, but then one respondent says he fixed the issue by letting the battery run down completely.

Not from my standpoint. I have had repeated issues with it. I bought a new charger and it worked fine for about two months and now it is again un-charging rather than charging. It is a poor design
