Seems like a pretty standard plug, so if you find a charger with the same specs online it will work. If the plug doesn't match you could always solder yours on a new charger's cable.
12V DC and can handle a 2A load
Check out Mouser or Digikey: http://www.mouser.com/Power/Plug-In-AC-Adapters/_/N-wp53?P=1z0wda1
I found this one that I bet would be good enough:

The alternative too is to find an ac adapter that provides the correct output as the original wall wart, but maybe has a different plug at the end. Just cut off the incorrect plug, cut off the OE plug with some amount of wire, strip back, check polarity, and reattach, and electrical tape it. Good for an emergency situation like this.
test the AC adapter first.....I read another guys tablet stopped charging during a cm flash.
My theory is that your AC adapter is fine....they only tend to "break" when there is a short in the device.
And you can pick one up at radio shack. 12v 2amp tip positive.

The AC adapter no longer lights up when it is plugged in. The actual adapter light on the plug.
It charged fine on CM6.1 for the first few days

There is a switch near the plugs on the adapter, and if you move it over the plug will slide off. Is it making a good connection with that module?
mobile or wall wart?
Radio Shack has plenty of the chargers that fit the gtab. here is one I picked up for 12v cig. lighter charging. works great, and the tip is rotatable to accomodate the polarity we need.

Look up MPA-630 on the Web and you can find a Kodak picture frame charger with the right specs that looks just like the stock device.

Back of my charger that came with the tablet actually says Model: MPA-630. So there you go.
I tried getting a generic car holder from pepboys that plugs into/hangs from the cigarette lighter but due to the size/weight of the phone w/ the extended battery, the holder bends forward and the phone falls off regularly.
other then that i'll put a sticky pad on my right leg and leave the phone on that(works better) but still wish the first option worked.
is there some sort of dock or holder with extended battery support that'll plug into the cig lighter?
Check into this?

The Verizon dock will work also with the extended battery, just no case when the battery is on. To add the first generation of Verizon docks didn't have the data pins shorted so it would only charge as a USB device, that's since been fixed.
One of the things I was really excited about with the Lumia 920 was the built in wireless charging feature. Since the Nokia charging plate was selling for about 70 bucks (ouch) I decided to see what alternatives were available. I've tried two different wireless chargers so far with mixed results:
LG Electronics WCP-700 - This charger works great and I was able to snag it from amazon for 35 bucks shipped. If you want wireless charging but don't want to pay 70 bucks for one charger, then I highly suggest this model. You can get 2 for the price of one Nokia Charger.
Powermat 2x - I was hoping the community could give me some advice on the powermat. Naturally if you plug the powercube into the phone, it will charge just fine. BUT I noticed that if you put a charging plate on the charger and then put the 920 on top of it, the 920 will begin to go into charging mode, although when i tried doing that, it didn't really seem to be charging at any noticeable rate( I may have been taking the phone off the charger too frequently though). Does anyone know exactly what voltage and amperage the powermat wirelessly charges at? My concern is that the volts or amps will be off and damage could be done to the battery in my lumia 920. Any thoughts?
Good questions! I was wondering the same thing about the different mats out there.
What about the Energizer one?
Also, the LG one apparently beeps a lot...does it do so with the Nokia? When it finishes charging it turns off and lets the phone run off battery for a bit, then turns back on to top it off again, causing it to beep each time it turns on throughout the night. Have you noticed this?

From what I've read, the Energizer QI chargers will work fine with the 920, I just didn't get one since the LG model was a bit cheaper. The LG one does beep, although I haven't found it to be too much of an issue. When I place the phone on the charger, the LG mat will beep and show the green charging icon, and my phone will make the connection noise. I also think the mat will beep occasionally when the phone is charged, since it lets the battery drain a bit, then starts charging again, although last night it didn't wake me up at all while I slept. You could probably remove the speaker from the LG pad fairly easily, although from my experience, it's not bothersome enough to be worth the trouble.

Doesn't the PowerMat use a different wireless charging standard? I thought I read somewhere it wasn't the QI standard.
PowerMat is its own standard.
Not sure where you are, but the plate is $50 and the stand is $70 here.
Might want to try mail-order?
As for other plates, I have a few lying around, but I don't want to risk my phone trying them without knowing. I have 2 plates and a stand, so I am pretty covered.
Philips DLP7210B/10 also works with the Lumia 920.
I ordered a Palm Touchstone off Amazon for $6 and free shipping. I'll know in a few days when it gets here if it works or not, but I read somewhere that it should.
Sorry to disappoint you, but the Touchstone does not work. It makes the charging notification sound, but the battery still drains; it doesn't charge at all.
I have the Maxell Airvolt QI charger. It works but the phone seems to get warm unlike the Fatboy charger I use at night.

Doh!
I really hope someone makes a 12v charging pad to keep in your car. Plug into the cig lighter and lay the phone on the "pad" somewhere in the car. I know the new dodge cars have it as an option now.

There's no reason why a 12v adaptor of sufficient ampage wouldn't work. Just match up the plug and polarity to the DC adaptor that comes with the charging pad.
But obviously a QI charger is not designed for use in a car. QI only recently release their guidelines:
http://www.wirelesspowerconsortium....ermarket-chargers-v-10.pdf?force-download=yes
It seems there are two current wireless charging standards: QI and PMA
Powermat are PMA, and this is a copyrighted licensed standard, i.e., Powermat will get revenue/license on each device. There is a limited trial in Starbucks.
QI is open, and I think a "free" standard. They have public charging spots in Japan, and Japanese handsets are predominantly QI
This is all just what I've recently read, so I'm not an expert or utterly certain it is correct, but it does seem that Nokia 920's are to the QI standard, and so any QI charging plate should work...?

I personally plan to do just this. I figure a Qi compatible charger hard wired into the car, then find a good place to mount it with a thin grip pad covering it. It should work just fine.

Ooooo, my Edge has a little 'shelf' under the console that has a ribbed rubber bottom. And it has a 12v plug right beside it. I bet my husband (the engineer) might be able to wire up a charging plate. He would need to shorten the cord so it wouldn't flop around. But he's very good at that sort of thing.
This is a great idea! He works overseas but I think I have a new 'honey-do' for him on his next R&R. Thanks!

Anything that is a Qi charger should work, it's a standard.

Nice! I'll get one too!
tabletop charging
I personally think it would be awesome to be able to integrate QI wireless charging into a tabletop. think about it, when you sit down at a table for dinner, you usually take your phone out of your pocket, right? what if you could charge it while you eat? why doesn't starbucks do this?:highfive:
Hi,
I bought a quick circle case to go with my f400k. The case came directly from Korea and the pins look like they match up.
I am trying to charge with this cheap charger:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/28136049...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The charger has a blue light which switches on when I place the G3 on it but the G3 doesn't charge.
Does this sound like a fault with the case / charger or phone? I am running Sphinx 1.0 if software can make a difference.
I don't have any other QI devices or charges so can't really test.
Thanks
Are you plugging it into a USB port or a wall charger? I had one really cheap qi charger that wouldn't charge very well in a USB hub, if at all. But works ok(not great) when plugged in wall.
I have tried both. Out of interest did your cheap charger have a LED and if so did it only come on when the phone was actually charging?
No it has a light on all the time, and changes when charging.
Go get one of these:
Qi Adapter
Plug it into your charge port, and just use a sticker or electrical tape to stick it to the back of the device, then slap that bad boy back in its case.
Your Nord will now charge on any wireless charging mat.
I suggest Spigen cases, but that's just me.
whats the charge speed since it takes your usbc port
