What if I use a 2A Car Charger ?

Dear Friends,
I have a car charger @2A for my old Galaxy TAB and dont wanna waste money if it is usable for GNote... Can i use it for my note or can it harm to my usb port?
Thanks in advance...
Kind Regards,

For recommendations I think you should change the charger to 1A one. But using the 2A one still possible, quicker charging time, shorter batt life and hotter while charging!
Use at your risk!

[Q] Charge status question..

Hi.
Sorry for this noobish question but I really don't have any idea if this thing is charging or not -- I have attach an image when device is powered off.. though it looks like it is charging but every time I turn the device on it says that it is not charging on status settings menu, and got that "Connect your charger" on the lock screen.

Sounds as if insufficient current.
Are you using original wall charger?

No. My sister give this to me but she forget to send the wall charger, so what I'm using is my current HTC adapter. So this is how tab works? lol. Darn. I thought chargers are all the same.

My charger (original) is rated at 2.0A
I think it does need rather high current.

you can charge it with lower current as long as you turn off your tab (just like what you are doing in the picture), but it will take at least half a day to charge it.

You can probably charge it slightly faster by connecting it to the computer with Fast Charge enabled. FWIW my Tab charges just fine with a 650ma, a 1A, and the 2A stock charger.

[Q] Charging differences

Has anyone tried charging their Ace with a Blackberry charger? Does it affect anything negatively?

[aA] and [voltage] must be the same, if not, it will mess up your battery ... in time !

Thanks! I'm guessing they're compatible since
BB:
Output 5V=700mA
Input: 100-240V ~ 200mA 50-60Hz
Ace:
Output: 5.0V=0.7A
Input: 100-240V ~ 50-60Hz 0.15A
Am I right?

If you charge your Ace with a BB charger it will not produce the same voltage as needed.

What ?! Who said this ? I've been using a charger with a lower rating for over 6 months now. Not even a single flaw until now. It just takes a bit longer to charge that's all. Don't believe Samsung when they say use original chargers only & similar bull ****. Those brutes do that to market their products. That's all.

I see. It's because I gave my ace to my girlfriend and the charger was broken but she has a blackberry one. Everything is fine then I guess.
Thanks a lot guys!

[Q] USB 2.0 battery charger?

Do any of you use the older style charger to charge your note 3's? I just thought id see if it works and it does work to charge the phone just fine but I was wondering if there's any side affects to using the older style charger.

yesterday mine charged fully in 2 hours with the phone charger (USB 3.0) and later drained to 2% then overnight using note 2 charger (USB2.0) after ~6 hrs it was 87%.
Both are 2 amps btw.
so there seems to be a difference.. maybe someone can answer why?
I am not rooted and looking at Battery monitor widget, it charges about 35% in an hour vs 12% on note 2 charger.

Mine seem to charge at the same rate with either charger. I'm not using the stock note 2 cable though, its a 10ft usb2.0 I bought off amazon and its supposed to charge the phone faster they claim :laugh:

This should answer your questions about usb 2.0 vs 3.0 charging.

You need to use a micro USB 3 cable or you'll never see the two amps the stock charger can do. I've tried this with a random micro USB 3 cable and an Asus prime charger.

Dont worry, its not a problem. Voltage is most important and should be (about) equal. Higher amperage means it will charge more quickly (pbb up to some limit, but definitely OK in this case). In my experience all USB/phone charging equipment can be used for i.e. phones.

Thank u l0kiii . you re the best
