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 guys,
Looks like a new induction charging product for Note 2 or S3 has surfaced on eBay. Or maybe it's not new to some. This is not a modded Touchstone version, but instead a patch induction coil that is pressed against the charging pin on top of the battery. It comes with the mat as well. It's a 1000mAH charging current. You can buy the coil or charging pad separately too. I picked one up, but it'll take a while to get here because it's coming from HK.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190763556346
Thought I would share! :highfive:
I will have to wait but I would like to have this. After that Nokia 920 wireless charging is a simple accessory to have.
Sometimes you just want to throw stuff... just make sure it belongs to someone else.
There is one thing to consider, does the Note II support 1A through the charging pins?

I don't see why not. I was able to charge my Note 2 using my Galaxy S2 micro-usb charger no problem. The 2A stock just makes it charge faster. In fact, I am glad that the induction coil is charging the device at 1A. The heat generated with the pad next to the battery would not be good for the battery itself. My Palm Pre used to get hot when it was on the Touchstone. The slower charge rate is also less 'stressful' on the battery. You can google about the charge rate to see what I mean.
I saw on a thread here that someone is looking for a 2A car charger. There's no need for that unless you're in a hurry. Again, my Samsung GS2 car charger also charge my Note 2 just fine as well. I drove on an 8hr road trip with that charger plugged in and it worked fine. It charged the phone and kept it topped up.
Will not work with different versions of Note 2?

from the ebay listing instructions:
"1)stick the tag with the 2 metal connectors facing downwards to the 2 metal connectors next to the battery."
My Note 2 does not have the 2 metal connectors next to the battery (metal connectors might be hidden)....sucks looks very convenient to have. I think other users have found out that the Sprint and Verizon's version of the Note 2 need modifications for this to work. bummer..

Yeah, that sucks. I just checked my ATT N2 and the connectors are there.
This is the one I bought from a chinese manufacturer. The pad is thick. The phone doesn't sit fluch on a flat surface.
That said, bought this for the T889 and it does not work. Looks like the TMO version may need a wire running from a resistor to the positive contact point.

Checkout that thread, it's mentioned that the kernel limits the charging on the 2 pins for wireless to 500mA.

That's not an issue for me. Induction charging is a convenience for at the end of the day. I'm not in a hurry since it's going to be charging overnight anyway. Besides, slower charge is more gentle on the battery. But that slower charging rate is good to know. It might be a deal breaker for some people.

True, but even at a 2A charge, Samsung is being gentle on the battery. As a genera rule, all Lithium batteries can charge at what is called a "1C" rate. To find the rate, it's as simple as multiplying 1 by the capacity of the battery in amp-hours.
So, the stock battery could charge at 3.1A with no problems. More advanced batteries are 2C and some 5C. As you can see 2A is below the standard charge rate, 1A is further below it and 500Ma is *really* below it.
TL;DR you can charge at 2A with no damage
I plan on using this charger in my vehicle's car mount. I will a NFC tag to open pandora and turn bluetooth on, as well as it will start charge since the dock will have the charger mounted in it. I use 3 batteries in rotation anyway, so I do not rely on charging my phone via cable.
with the note 2 you will only get 500mAh max, with sets people are buying that hs been posted, the base will trickle charge at 300mAh when reached about 70-80 % charged.
i'm actually using the same set, along with a double base and panasonic one at work for both S3 and Note 2.
Again, the charge rate is not critical for me as long as it gets the job done when I wake up. Induction charging is really for the convenience. If I'm in a hurry, I'll plug it into the OEM 2A charger.
Are you using the same one from my link or the Touchstone mod?

i agree, bed time charging, slow is better for the battery.
I have the same one, and a double base, also have a panasonic one at work.
I saw on the eBay listing that the N2 pad supposedly output 1A, whereas the S3 version output 700mA. Are you using it on your S3 or N2? Not sure if you have a N2 because N2 is not listed on your signature.

Think it'll charge through a TPU case? Even if it gets reduced to ~500mah charge because of the added thickness of the case I wouldn't mind.

my S3 tag has 700 maH , not 1000 maH (like note 2 tags)
now i put it on my phone and put it on my LG Verizion wireless charger
and it just beeps green/yellow flashing lights
sometimes it will just show green (means its charging) but my phone has zero indication that it is charging, I figure the tag that was sent to me is faulty
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.

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

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.

There is a lot more to it than just that. Many actual 2 amp + battery chargers refuse to charge at the full 1.9 amp. Apparently the stock samsung charger gives off a certain resistance between the data terminals. Some cheap usb cables drop the resistance to where it will not charge at full 1.9 even with the correct adapter.
I ended up soldering some resistors in my car charger and replacing the 2 wire usb cable with a 4 wire usb cable that I had laying around. It now charges at the full 1.9 amps. It's rated for 2 amps.
Found all the info here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274321

thanks for pointing out the amps primo.. went and got 2 amp charger from biglots for 8$..much better.. was using a very old one and it was worthless.. also using factory cable instead of aftermarket made huge difference
I charge using external batteries...most of the time. I take it that using the correct cable would make a large difference as well
I use Monoprice PID 10239, works great
edit: scratch that, monoprice PID 10239 has a 3 amp fuse which blew when my gf tried to charge her iPhone at the same time as my GS4.
search TopG charger on Amazon for a more compact, fuseless 4.4A car charger. It's $9 and Prime eligible. Fuses in car chargers are pointless since the cigarette lighter receptacle is already fused to 10 or 15 amps in your car.
I bought a car charger from a Chinese eBay vendor and my phone charges from <5% to 50% in roughly 30 minutes.
I actually built my own charger that I hard wired into my car and I love it. I had a snap fish desk charger that crapped out on me, so I bought a lm2596 adjustable power supply for a couple bucks on eBay. Wired that up to the snap fish cable, adjusted the voltage and away I went. The module has a 3 amp capacity so it charges my phone or tablet quickly.

i'm using one of these but the charging keeps cutting in and out. i think i may have fudged up the wiring, i wired it to an add-a-fuse but i may need to just wire it directly.
I would keep the fuse in there. You never know when these cheap electronics will crap out and could potentially start a fire. I would make sure your connections are secure. To me it sounds like loose worrying or a bad unit. I used one of those in girlfriends car, works great-I put a switch in there to cut power if not being used.
I have 4 of these. I love them. I use them with oem Samsung cables and get full charging power on 2 devices.

It's not bad at all, you can still use any cell phone charger to charge the Note 4
just like we have done when we had the Note 3.
The thing I am wondering about is if can safely use the new Note 4 wall charger

The batteries are chipped. Phones are chipped. And even the adapter has a chip. You can use your note 4 charger to charge any device. It just won't give the full output as other devices will tell it not to. etc.etc.

Hello guys,
Can you please suggest a good reliable wireless fast charger pad for my Note 5?
Thanks!
Check out @polish_pat 's thread. It's a $20 wireless charging pad from Amazon. Got one myself and it works like a charm.
One caveat, however, is that I noticed the "sweet spot" for this charger is much smaller that with others I've had. I'm not sure if this is a side-effect of the fast charging, or poor design. Regardless, it's now a staple on my desk.
Agreed^^^
