charger

I just recently bought the dell streak 7 for 250 of Craigslist and the owner gave me the wrong charger and she won't contact me.back I was wandering if someone would be kinds enough to many give me one of there extra ones if the have one I don't have a debit card or credit card to pay for shipping but please I just got this for my 16 birthday.and can't play with it :/

Any 1A or greater charger is all you need, if you have a smartphone charger it will work.

It takes a 30 pin connected kinda like iPod

If you need a cable also, they're like $5 on ebay

Ebay... Amazon... you can easily find a replacement cable. If you get the USB type cable you can even use the charger that came with your phones (USB types) but it might take for ever to charge since phone chargers output .5A to 1A... You will need a charger that outputs 2.1A for speedier charge.

I just recently purchased an origilal charger for my Streak 7 from Ebay. The name of the company was cellular_emporium and the description was: TMOBILE OEM HOME CHARGER + DATA CABLE DELL STREAK 7 STREAK 5 WoW!
Make sure the one you buy says OEM because those are the ones with higher charging capability. All the other chargers I've seen out there that are copies of the original are only 0.5A output but the OEM I have says 1.0A output. That's twice the output. The charger came with the 30pin cable that plugs into the Streak 7 and the other end is a USB that plugs into the charger head unit.
I paid $11 for it with free shipping and it got to my house in about 3 days.
Hope that helps. I know I had a hard time deciding which one since they all say they are compatible.

Charger
Make sure that the charger supplies an output of 5volts and 2amps.

The OEM power supply is 2A but the S7 never draws that much, I've measured it. It never draws more than 1.3A. Not sure what the S7 looks at but I'm guessing that it looks at voltage and if it drops, it won't charge. You can use a 1A power supply "sometimes" by booting up the S7 first and than plugging it in as it uses more current at boot up time.
IIRC with the S7 OFF, it charges at around 960mA max and that drops off as it reaches a full charge.
It was a long time before I noticed that no matter what your using the S7 stops charging during a good part of the boot up time.

Additional 2amp Wall chargers

I was able to pick up car chargers already, but am having a hard time finding a good deal on extra 2amp wall chargers. Samsung had one on their accessory page for a while, but never got any stock. It disappeared in the last few days.

Might be cheaper to buy an iPad compatible brick and use it with a microusb cable. Works well and charges fast, and reusable for future devices.

radio shack has a 4port 2a that will give max draw to one port. i have already tested it with a multimeter. they are like 22$

Haven't gotten a chance to test these yet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073FCPSK/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I definitely noticed my old htc wall charger is slower to charge the note2 than my nexus 7 wall charger.
Can you guys recommend best car/wall chargers as far as amps(Electrical jargon I'm not too familiar with)?

I was wondering if higher amp is better?
I realize the device will cut off current too high, but wondering what the max it can draw is? perhaps over 2amp?

Will it mess up my wifes Note 1 if she uses my charger? Will it charge hers faster?

no they will limit the charge so you dont have to worry about that. most devices can accept up to 2A at 5V anyways. That is the limit for the spec. The absolute is 2.4 A i think.

I got two of these when they were only $19.99 each.

if you have a radio shack close why waste the time on shipping

You people seriously pay $20++ for wall chargers? LOL!
I got 5 of the Xentris 2A wall chargers, for $25 including shipping!
Xentris 2A Wall Charger
The connected micro usb cable is 2A, and the extra USB port is 1A. Both charge the Note 2 perfectly and the prongs flip up.

The joke may be on you if your chargers are cheaply made. It all comes down to the person if they want to stay safe or not. You can risk your battery's life dying earlier than normal, or just plain ol damaging your phone. If you've had luck with those, than more power to you.
If anyone was curious, there was substantial testing done to a few chargers that may give you insight on what to put your money on.

I have seen that one brand of 2A chargers. Do you think it charges as fast as your OEM charger? How long have you had them now?
Also how did you get them for $5 each?

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.

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.

Note 2 charging cable replacement

Hi all.
My original samsung charging cable has given up.
In fact it might have been a dud to start with as my phone took 6 hours ish to charge on a good day.
I am looking for a replacement but I understand that the note 2 uses a special cable and I can't buy a normal data cable.
Please could you recommend a good one that I could buy from the UK? Preferably from Amazon.
Thanks all.

You have a android phone not a crapple
You just need a micro usb cable
Should cost you around $1 on ebay
If you need the charger as well you want one with 2amps of output also very cheap on ebay

I posted this on another thread the other day. Another member had the same question.
I can recommend a couple of good options:
1. If you definitely prefer OEM, you can get one here, BUT, be sure to order specifically from the seller called AmazingSteals. Alot of other sellers are selling knockoffs. After reading a bunch of reviews on Amazon, I decided to order from AmazingSteals, and got a genuine OEM charger and cable. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YDFX7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
2. If you don't need OEM, check out this Anker. It's awesome. It has 2.0a and a 1.5a ports for simultaneous charging. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
I have both. Either will work great.
Sent from my Nexus 7

Thanks all.
So the cable doesn't need to be a special 2 amp cable?
The charge itself is 2 amp and isn't faulty so doesn't need replacing.

There is a difference in the cables supplied by samsung or electronics that need Alot of mah. Get one on amazon that is for electronics that have big batteries. If you have a good charger with bad cable you get the lengthy chargers. Takes too long... Trust me

What about the blackberry cables?
I have a spare one but it doesnt say what it can carry.

The BB cable should be fine. The only way besides an ohm test is to just use it and monitor the charging behavior.

Considering my Kindle cable charges mine just fine, I would say you're golden as long as you buy a well built cable. (Kindle obviously doesn't need a lot of current and seems like it is 20 feet long)

Will test and see how it goes.

Samsung cable charged 17% per hour and the blackberry cable does closer to 40% per hour.
Bonus.

I just got the anker dual port chargers. One for the wall one for the car.
Any recommendations for cables?
I prefer amazon since I'm on prime and I get a lot of gift cards from my cc company.
I got tripp-lite cables which wouldn't charge more than .4... I got 6 cables so it's not just one or two defective ones.
On amazon I don't see a cable with clean reviews.
In fact most cables and chargers that say samsung oem have reviews saying they are counterfeit. One would think amazon.com would guard against that.

Well, Amazon opened a door to any "merchant" so you can list anything you want under existing legitimate product
For cables, use only Monoprice stuff - http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Plated-24AWG-micro-B-Ferrite/dp/B003L18S0E/ - this cable has 24AWG rated wires which handle up to 3A of current and will charge Note 2 at full 2A speed. Plus, they have gold plated connector and ferrite filter bead. 6ft cable for $3.28 shipped - YOU CAN NOT BEAT THAT!!! That what I use at home and in the car for years now.
I also noticed there are some Monoprice with 28AWG only, those can handle max 1.4A so more appropriate for 1A charging. Also, be careful the seller is actually Monoprice because I noticed a bunch of shady vendors listed under that Monoprice cable listing.

Not from US Amazon, you probably need to go to their www.monoprice.com website or see if Amazon in your country has Monoprice guys listed.

I would recommend the monoprice ferrite micro usb cables too. I bought 3 (6ft cables) and it charges all the gadgets at full speed (note 2, S3, tablets). It works so good people keep on taking mine. I had to buy 6 more. Also if you order from Monoprice directly it comes out to less than $8 for 3 6ft cables.

I've had very poor luck with these Monoprice cables ordered directly from them. They work great, for a short time. I ordered a dozen in both 6 foot and 10 foot length this summer. Since then, every single one has crapped out. They develop shorts or the connectors become weak and won't stay in the phone. It's a real disappointment as they work great initially and are a great price. My OEM cables are still going strong and get the majority of use. The monoprice cables lasted anywhere from 1 to 5 months. None longer. If it had just been one cable, I'd chalk it up to bad luck. But 12 cables is too many.

Note 2 cable repair
Samsung Note 2 charger is of 5 Volt 2 Amp and the data + charging cable is shielded cable, not the ordinary one. It takes lots of time if you charge through other cable or charger. One good thing about this USB cable, it is not soldered, it is crimped. So, you can repair it with little efforts.
There is a video on youtube for the same, As I am new in this community, can't post the link. You can copy the above text and search in google.

Has anyone tried this charger?

My dog ate my charger and I'm looking to buy this one till I order a new one. Anybody have any thoughts on it?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insigni...lack/5690015.p?id=1219148349637&skuId=5690015

Seems like it would work but there are two things i would like to point out. First this is not a quick charge 2.0 charger so fast charge will not work with it, it will charge at normal rate. Also for myself i try to get wall chargers with removable cables just in case my pet eats thru it I can replace them easily and trust me i have gone through 4 cables in the last 4 months. That said i have had good experiences with ones bought from Ebay as well since the prices are far too tempting.

Is rapid charge the same as quick charge?

Usually not at all. What people claim as "rapid charge" is just a small increase in amperage (usually 2+ amps). By reference, USB 2.0 spec is 500mA.
Quickcharge 2.0 increases both the voltage and the amperage it can supply (is. even more wattage). The exact values are negotiated by the phone and what it draws - which is dependent on the current phase of charging.

Here's the exact same one we got with our note 4, OEM and everything! Plus it's way cheaper than the insignia one
