I brought 2.1AMP griffin 2 in 1 car charger for my PAD. Can we use this same outlet for G-Note instead of 1amp Samsung provided charger?

I just bought a Capdase cardock for my Nexus S, and there are two USB ports I can use to charge it to. The first port is labeled "1A only", and the other one says "1A or 2A".
1) what do 1A and 2A mean?
2) which of the two ports will Nexus S charge better? (I don't want to ruin or short circuit my phone using a wrong port.)
thanks guys!
A = amp(s)
You should be fine with either 1 or 2 amps. If you're going to be running navigation often, 2 amps should help keep the phone from dying on long trips.

I don't know specifically about this phone, but it probably can't draw more than 1 amp. The 2 amp port is good for a tablet. 1A isn't enough for an iPad, for instance.
That's not entirely true. The Nexus One car dock comes with a 2 amp charger and it keeps the phone charged even with screen on and running navigation for several hours. It runs hotter than with the wall charger and, say, playing games or web surfing, but it does the job.

Well there's no "official" car dock from Samsung as far as I can tell, and as a counterpoint my 1A car charger charges the phone just fine while navigating and streaming music via Audiogalaxy for at least 8 hours...

Again..you're totally off base man. There is an official Samsung car dock..it's just hard to find. There's a thread about it right here in the accessories forum.

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.
Sent from my GT-N7105
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.
i bought a 3rd party 2A Car charger and it still charge my Galaxy Note 2 slow. Anyone can recommend me a good charger which u guys are using right now?

Mod edit
Very unlikely that will work if doing intensive stuff on the note as the charging is made for Apple products we have a long thread discussing car chargers in the Sprint forum

This is the charger that I use. I admit that I don't charge my Note II in the car very often, but the few times I've used it, it worked well.
+1 - I use this charger and it seems to charge just as fast as my AC adapter, although I've never used the phone simultaneously as its charging. Obviously i have it plugged in to the 2A side.

Very hard to beat this charger. I have a few of them to take on trips and such, in case I forget it. Fast charging... at least double to triple what I saw trying to charge off a USB port (car or PC).
Plus you can't beat the price! Just make sure it's genuine (the one on amazon is).
Just bought one of THESE 3 days ago. Works fine here.
So do any of these actually charge at 2A? Does CurrentWidget report it as 2A?
Do they significantly increase battery life while in heavy use (using satnav with screen on)?
Thanks.

Hey all!
Today I got the Official Samsung Craddle. This one to be precise. http://www.smartphoneshop.nl/product/199368/123781/5076/samsung-desktop-dock-for-sii-siii-note.html
However, I noticed it charges ultra slow. It goes like 1% per 5 minutes. Does anyone else have experience with this thing for the Note 2?
Should I return it?
And if so, which dock would u suggest?
Grtz,
Dancol
Anyone?
I can't comment on that product specifically, but I have 2 USB chargers in my car both with a 2 amp output, one's a Samsung product for charging my Tab, the other is a Griffin, both will charge my phone even when using the Sat nav, at about the same rate the actual wall charger works at, so there has got to be something wrong with your unit.
The only way of knowing for sure before passing judgment, is to get a normal car charger with the 2 amp output the phone needs and compare the charging time against it and the dock you have.

The dock says on the bottom 500~1000mAH. That is not enough then?

1 amp will be enough to charge, but will charge much slower than a charger with a 2 amp output.

That dock is for the s2 & s3
Both of which use a 1amp charger
Note will work with a 1amp charger but will take alot longer to charge
Get a 2amp charger and ya probelms are solved

Didn't know that would pretty much reduce my charge time to 20%. Normally it goes somewhere around 1% per min but with the dock it went 1% per 5 mins!

I have the same dock and it seems to be a limitation of the dock.
I use the charger and USB cake that came with the Note 2, but it still charges slowly (with the phone screen turned off)
If I pull the cable out of the back of the dock and plug it into the phone directly, it charges sit twice as fast.
I think the dock only puts out 1 amp, even with the 2 amp charger connected to it.

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.

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.

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

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.
