charger problems

so i went onto ebay and bought a official OEM droid 4 usb cable and AC adapter and for some reason the AC adapters dont work but the usb cord is just fine
the AC adapter i got was a SPN5504 which has a input of 100-240V 50/60hz and 0.2A and output of 5.1V at 850mA
is this not the charger that came with the droid 4? it will not charge at all in the wall but when i plug the usb cord into a samsung wall adapter it works fine

Pretty much any USB charger should work. Sounds to me like you got a dud...

Agreed, dud. Some are better than others, I get all mine off of ebay, so I have a bumch around the house. The cheaper the more likely its crap, but at .99 I can't argue. So I order 4-5 and I might get a bad one.

thanks the company i ordered from on ebay sent me 2 more and they both work

Note 2 Charger for Wall/Car!

Hi guys. I would like to know what to look out for when buying a 3rd party charger for the Galaxy Note 2. For wall and car. I am using a cheap usb car charger which i bought from ebay ard $2 for my old Galaxy S2 and it works great. But when I charge my new Note 2, it was very slow.

The stock Note 2 charger is rated at 2A, so anything less will charge the Note 2 slower.

Soo ill just find a 2A usb adapter for my car or wall? will it make my battery faulty using a 3rd party 2A usb adapter?

Depends on the quality of the charger. You get what you pay for. Cheap & nasty is usually exactly that.
If in doubt, put the thing on a multimeter and check its output.

Charging outlet 5V / 1.2amps

Just found out that the LG USB wall outlet has a output of 5V or 1.2 amps while my apple and samsung USB wall outlet of 5V or 1.0amps
The regular wall charger for my sg2 had a output of 5V or 0.7 amps
Figure i give a heads up to those who wants to have a shorter charge time.

I got a 2a USB charger that I have always used for this reason sure in wont get the 2a but will at least get max that I can

The charge rate is fixed by the phone. You could have a 100A charger and the battery would still charge at 900mA (in the case of the SGS3 and Nexus 4). The charge rate from USB remains at 450mA

So if you use a 5V / .7 amps charger for the Nexus it should be OK right?

Yes, it will just charge slightly slower.

Does using a 5V 2a charger damage the phone's battery?

No. It's better to use a stronger charger than a weaker one. The phone will only drain as much as it needs.
If you guys have a N7 you can only carry the N7 charger as it will charge both devices as fast as they technically can charge.

The Best Charging Non Official?

Does anybody has been tried to Charge #GNote2 using non samsung charger? example Sony Charger, iPad Charger? does using another brand will cause some problem? or it's okay?

I use a charger from my old HTC Amaze 4G at work and a random radio Shack dual USB car charger. Both work fine, no issues and I've had my phone since release day.

I've used at least 4 different chargers and they all work fine, it just charges faster with a higher amp output

Thanks you...

The best charger Ive used is the HP touchpad charger.... 2A

im just using the 2A charger i got with my nexus 7. works like a dream.

2A Charger Please

I have read countless threads and looked at many chargers and I just can't seem to find a 2a car and a 2a home charger. I just ordered this charger and this cable and it just doesn't work above 700ma. When I use the stock cable I get to 1300mah for a sec and then about 900 steady. This is on both ports. Someone please help me before I lose it! The only one that works at 1500mah is the cable and charger that came with my phone.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I can say from repeated certainty that this 6' cable charges at the same rate as the stock cable but is actually nice.

Also, my Qmadix car charger with dual 2.1A ports does very near stock AC levels when charging 1 device. My results are in the mega 2A car charger thread, but that's a spendy charger.

Thanks!
EDIT:Redundent

As far as home chargers, HP Touchpad charger is the winner easily. IME. Expensive but worth it.

A quick search on the lowest priced "oem note 2 charger" on ebay got me these, both 2A:
Home
Car

I saw a cable at Best Buy which is pretty nice, it has El Wire that flashes quickly(battery at 0-65%), slow (battery at 66-99%) and turns off when the battery is full. Would that cable be okay to use to charge my phone?

go on the google play store and buy the nexus 7 2A charger. im using that one for my note 2 and its working flawlessly.

I have a cheap gas station 2 port usb car charger rated at 2amp for one port and 1amp for the other. Works great and I think it cost maybe 10 bucks. My phone charges at well over 1300mah in the car using a cheap usb cable I got at walgreens or some ****

I just went to Walgreens also. They have 2 usb port car chargers that charge one port at 2.1amp and the other at 1amp. It was only 10$. They also have a 2.1 amp wall charger as well.

I'm also looking for 2A replacement... How's the charging time compare to the stock Note 2 charger?

how do you measure the output while the device is charging? Is there an app to test how much juice is coming in real time?
I use a 2A HP Touchpad charger in my living room and a T-Mobile branded 3A dual USB charger in my bedroom (see links below). The T-Mobile charger charges my Note2 from 9% to 100% in less than 2 hours when I only use 1 of the USB ports. I'm not sure what the rate is when both ports are used. I've had this for a couple years and use it to charge (individually and simultaneously) my phones and tablets without any problem.

T-Mobile is out of stock, but you can find it on ebay for $6 refurbished or $13 new.

There's also the Blackberry Playbook Folding Blade charger that pushes 1.8A.

I'm using "Battery Monitor Pro" not sure how accurate it is but most people I ran across seems to use that app.
This is the stock ac charger result

Yep that sounds like the one I have. It has a little pull handle on it too

2 Amps. Extra USB port. Fixed wire (so you don't lose it). Bought it in October and it works awesome.
$12.89. It's the best option out there, IMO (aside from the stock one).

I have that one, super slim profile so it looks like its part of your car instead of something plugged into your cigarette lighter. Works like a charm.
