I have not seem Samsung has this product for Note 2 but see lots of 3rd party wireless chargers available on the market. Is there any difference or anything we should watch for such accessary for Note 2? Thanks!
The Sprint version doesn't support wireless charging, the international version does.

it's about both, you need both the receiver and transmitter for wireless charging.
I investigated wireless charging for a time, but it appears nearly all wireless chargers charge at a particularly slower rate (0.5A). With such a big battery on the Note 2, this leads to pretty crazy charge times. Having said that, there are 'some' chargers which are 1A, like so:

I just bought a 3rd party receiver sticker and charging pad. The receiver sticker is placed beneath the back cover. It works with Samsung charger comes with the phone. When I place my Note 2 on the pad, there is a pop up message saying "Wireless charging - You have placed the device within range. Now charging wirelessly...". I am testing how long it will take to have a complete charge. The initial feeling is that the charging is slower as compared with wired charging with Samsung charger.

Synergy Wireless Charger
Hi Bryan792 and jyan_osu,
Thanks for mentioning Synergy. I'd be more than happy to answer any additional questions anyone has in this forum. Synergy might disrupt the earth's magnetic field when using the Compass, but any receiver module with a magnet could have a similar impact on the earth's magnetic field. If you use the compass regularly, wireless charging may not be for you. Please note that we have not experienced any issues with the Note 2 pen.
For more information about Synergy, please go to Kickstarter.com and search "Synergy".
Thanks again.

So, I know the Note 2 uses a 2 amp charger. Are there any good car chargers that can output in 2 amps? I currently am using a Motorola one, and I think it's just 1 amp. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I found a 2A car charger on the shelf at Wal-Mart for $8. Works fine for me.
If you have a 5 Below near you, they have a 2.1 amp dual for 5 bucks

I have this charger from my previous iPhone and it works like a charm! It is 2.1amp but I don't think it hurts the phone since it has smart technology to direct the power as needed!

The motorola one you have is still a beast when it comes to recharging. I have a few of them, one in each car and an additional one for business trips. While running gps, streaming music, and the screen on, my battery still recharges. I have other 2.1 mAh chargers, but always come back to the motorola one. Especially since they are around $5 on amazon.

Hope it wasn't the one I found. It SAYS 2A on the box but it has 2 USB ports and thus feeds 1A PER PORT.
The Samsung OEM car charger for either the tablets or the Notes is a 2A unit.

That's the exact one I use as well. To give you an example, the Note 2 just can't be charged via standard USB port. 450mAh is not enough. I will see if I can do some testing to show you the differences visually this week.
Driving 45 min to pick up the last 64gb microSD card for sale in TN at radio shack (for $39) I had bluetooth on, sharing my data connection with my wifes tablet via foxfi, and using gps, the motorola still can charge the battery while all that was running. At my office, we would call that FM, because I can't really explain how it works just as good as my $15 2.1mAh charger.
What app are you guys using to measure charging rate?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I use a 3A charger in my car, but it's all wired in. Got myself one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-DC-Con...plies_ET&var=560164310799&hash=item3ccbaa5de8 , a 3 way switch, 2 'add-a-fuse' things and wired it all up behind the dashboard with just my Micro USB cable poking out in the drivers side of the dashboard, which plugged into my old car cradle when I had the HTC Sensation. The switch is mounted in one of the blanking plates down by my right knee (right hand drive) and lets me choose between off, on and on-with-ignition for the charger. At the moment I have to plug it into the bottom of the Note 2 myself but I'm planning next to de the wireless charging mod, and integrate the charger into the cradle I have, with NFC also in there to activate car mode when I put the phone in the cradle for (IMO) the perfect solution with no wires trailed all over the car, and my lighter socket free for other things
It was all pretty cheap as well, and an easy mod to do - even though the cradle is on the opposite side of the car to the fuse box and I had to pull out the whole radio and centre console to route the wires... all hidden away now though.
I'll be doing the same on my next car as well.
I was looking at *low profile* dual USB ported chargers but it appears from my lack of knowledge that these are all wired for iPad charging and without a specific charging cable they will only supply max 1A to the Note 2. Can someone with more technical knowledge of the vagaries of USB power please clarify in simple terms?
I would have thought the iPad would take a higher current than 1A
Just thought I'd give other Nexus 4 users a heads up about using this charger (it works, don't worry, just has some caveats). I got the charger today and was excited to start using wireless charging so I plugged everything in and put my phone on the charger. It started charging... and then stopped... and then started charging... and then stopped... and then the light started blinking on the charger (indicating a charging problem). I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried a few positions and some worked for a little longer than others, but I kept running into the same problem. I couldn't find any posts complaining about trouble or issues with the charger though so I decided to keep investigating (and didn't see any posts about anyone actually using the dt900 with the nexus 4).
Then I realized the phone was sliding ever so slowly off the charger (by now I think everyone knows how easy it is for this phone to slide off even 'flat' surfaces). I guess any movement at all really messes up the charging. For now I just threw an upside-down mousepad over the charger, which has stopped the phone from sliding. Wireless charging now seems to work as expected. Overall it seems pretty flexible with regards to position, and it charges even without direct contact (and I'm not using a thin mousepad either), but I guess even barely perceptible motion really messes it up.
tl;dr charging works, but only if you prevent the phone from moving at all.

Where can you buy one of these nokia chargers? Is AT&T the only place to get them so far (with the purchase of lumia 920)?
Pretty cool, I wish the N4 charged with the Palm Touchstone that I got, but it doesn't seem to work. At least it works well as a kind of stand of my phone. I'm hoping Google releases the charging orbs soon!

I got mine from Verizon's online store, though they only have the white and black versions.
I want to know how much google plans on selling the charging orb. The price on the nokia charger is around what i was expecting a wireless charger to cost. The nokia charger looks better IMO then the nexus orb.
Hmmm... I'll have to try this method with my JBL PowerUp. I'm having the same disconnect problems. It's really upsetting since I payed $300 for it hopefully it works. I'll wait until I get my rear screen protector. That should add some grip. If not, I'll try adding grip to the charger using another screen protector, or a gadget pad that I have for my dashboard.
Edit: this method did not work for my JBL
I still have the same issues of disconnecting every 3 seconds. I might have to return it and invest in a different wireless charger or wait for the orb. Then I'll have to get a separate nfc speaker. :/

The LG pad works great on the N4, only annoying thing is that the LG charger beeps when you put the phone on it. Gets annoying after a while.
If you turn your phone off it will charge fully with no blinking lights from the charger.

You can also add two rubber bands to the charger to make it stick. Works perfect!

Yes it's because it's only 750mA. The USB provided with the Nexus 4 is 1200mA.

I have the dt-900 and my nexus 4 has a TPU case. I tried a ton of times to get it to work and it would always stop after a while and charge really slowly when it did. is the solution really this simple? The mousepad keeps it charging while the friction between my case and the charger couldn't?
I'll have to give this a shot.
I would really like some help, because I am having problems finding what I need, if it even exists. I have a couple 3100 mAH batteries for my Note2. The set came with a charger, but the output says 350mA. It is taking about 20 hours to charge the spare. Is there a spare battery charger out there that will charge at the same rate as the actual charger that came with the device? One that would charge my spares in about 3 hours. Thanks in advance.

I purchased the Samsung extra battery charger and it takes about 6 hours to charge a Samsung 3100mah battery from 10%. I have 3 official batteries total, so the recharge rate is fine. I carry my phone and a extra battery, but tbh, I haven't actually needed the spare yet. Perhaps when classes are back in session.

I bought the Anker two pack that included the charger. The batteries are really great. As good as the oem, that I can tell. But the charger is so slow. I want to find one that charges with closer to 2A, instead of the 350mA that I received with the batteries.

After years of dealing with cheap Chinese fake batteries that last 1/2 as long as advertised I went ahead and sprung for the Samsung branded battery and charger. With my 20% discount wasn't that painful but the battery is reliable and charges very quickly.

No it won't work, the current is controlled within the battery holder, your only option if you want the same speed is, get another phone.:victory:

usb connector is input 2A, but the out is 450mAh to the battery.
No it says that if you put in 5v at 2 amp you get 4.2v at 1.7 amp output, and if you put in 5v at 500ma you get 4.2v at 450ma output. Mine charges from dead in about 2h15min using the 2 amp wall usb that came with the phone. Great charger and I use it from a anker 10, 000ma battery pack on the go.

I just got this charger and it looks like it will get the job done. It won't be 3 hrs, but 4 to 6 hrs it will be fully charged. It is supposed to provide 1a charging and it seems about right or at least much better than my previous chargers. I plan to buy another so I can charge 2 batteries at once. I go through 2, sometimes 3 battery a day.
I have the anker battery kit charger and it is slow as yours. Also bought a cheap eBay dock/spare battery charger. It was a little faster but still in the 10 hrs range.

Seems weird to me that for $50, the the OEM Samsung charger doesn't also charge your phone when it is in the cradle?

The only reason I bought it is because I had a 50% off coupon and it was the same price as just the battery alone. I'm okay with the slow charger for the spare battery as long as I can charge the one in the phone quickly.
I believe that any 2A adapter designed for Note 2, Note 10.1 or galaxy tab can work well with the official desktop dock & charger. Though not exactly the same speed as using the phone directly, it seems to be practically good enough to me -- 4.35V 1.7A

the reason i bought this is i didnt want to have my phone ever tied down. i can leave the house or work any time i want not having to pull off from an early charge.
and some more food for thought i think with the .7amp charger mine probably charges in 4 or 5 hrs nothing to bad. if you kill your phone from 100% down to dead in less than that time thats pretty ridiculous.
i love the samsung charger, you cant beat a good deep charge on your battery every time it charges.

So are you saying that if I attach the 2amp charger cable to the Samsung OEM spare battery charger it will charge faster than 450?
I'm confused.

I will keep the original post updated in case I run into any issues or any other things I like about this product.
Packaging
The wireless charger came in a very nice slip cover box that was very well put together to protect the things that it came with. Included in the package was the charger itself, a 3ft. USB cable, a nice set of thorough directions. The only thing I did not like is that it does not come with it's own charging block because the fast charging block that comes with Samsung devices does not work for some reason. It does have to be a 18W charging block otherwise the pad will not charge your device in fast mode
The Charging Pad
The pad is very simple in design and is a very minimal footprint anywhere that you may put it. It only has on port on it, the power input. It would be nice if it had another USB power out on it, but in doing so would make the charging pad bigger in size. It does feature 4 rubber feet on the bottom of the pad that are supposed to help to keep it from slipping around and I found them to do their ob well on all but the smoothest of surfaces. The pad also includes a raised rubber design on the top to keep your phone from sliding off and I found that these actually did a very well at their job, with or without a case. Other than that it has a LED light on one corner that is very bright and easy to see at any time of the day, unless you use a larger phone such as me and then the phone covers the LED.

Wireless Charging
The charging pad actually does a very good job at what it does. For such a small device I was actually getting very close to what a charging cable will apply to the phone with the stock charging block. I used two different apps, Ampre and Galaxy Charging Current to read the charge rate of my Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge. I will update this post later with actual charge times on my phone as it has been difficult to drain this battery and be able to keep and eye on it charging in one sitting.
Overall I really like the charging pad and can see myself using it for quite awhile. It does it a good job at what it was designed to do, but my only complaint is that it does not come with a charging block. This means that you have to use a fast charging one that came with your phone, unless it is a Samsung block, then you have to buy another one.
Thanks for the review.

You need to use a 18W QC 2.0/3.0 wall charger NOT the stock Samsung one because it's only 15.03W. The Samsung one will not allow the charger to provide the full 10W or function properly at all in most cases based on my testing.

I just wanted to add it in because I missed seeing that the first time I read through the OP. It might be a good ideal to bold that part?
Would this charger work, do you think?

And does your phone state "fast wireless charging" when you use this charger?

Since that's an 18W charger it will work

I have two of the single coil models and they work great. Dimmer led, fast charge, and got them when they dropped to 12.99 each. Win!

I like the 3 coil because I can have it in a ton of different positions without losing charge.

I think they are going to be developing a 15w wireless charger here soon. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I know Incipio made/releasing soon a 15W wireless charger. My main concern would be the large amount of heat generated by such a powerful wireless charger. I assume they would incorporate a fan of sort like Samsung did on their fasyout (~7.5W) fast charger. The fan seems to allow for a more stable charging rate than you would normally get without one as I noticed while testing each one.
Not really sure. Mine doesn't get hot at all on my choe tech 10w

Mine doesn't get any warmer than it does with the fast wired charger. I think a 15W wireless charger would generate enough heat for you to notice easily, but we will have to see.

Does it charges as fast as the original Samsung wireless charger? Also, is it a reliable company? Since there are many wireless chargers but unknown brands

It chargers faster than Samsung's fast charger. I conducted s thorough test of ally chargers (1 more test coming tonight). You can read through my OP below:
Charging Test

Just like to put my cohetech fast wireless charger in this thread.
This is the single coil plate, but doesn't suffer from placement as it is a large coil inside. So anywhere I put my note 5 on charges every time.
I used to have the round 3 coil charger but prefer this one as its a low profile and your phone covers up the LED whilst it's charging, and heck square is cool
Packaging is pretty my defacto with these products, minimal, compact and no wastage but it is packed really strong and no fear of it arriving broken up or damaged.
These are a little cheaper too than the 3 coil fast charger so it's a pretty good alternative to save a few pounds on something that will perform just as good.
I have the 3 coil one, but see it now says not compatible with the s7. Other ones say not to use the s7 adaptive charger but this now just seems to say not compatible at all. When on the pad there is a quiet clicking noise that worries me but the phone says it's fast charging and it appears to be doing so. However I have no experience of wireless charging and no desire to risk my nice new phone. Would be grateful for others experiences?

Hello all.
I've never messed with wireless charging since it's relatively new. I pre-ordered my Note 7 yesterday and have decided it's time. What kind of charger do I need? I checked out the Samsung site and it doesn't explain much. Any recommendations on cheap quick chargers?
Thanks!

I've tried plenty of different wireless charging pads and stands for the S6 edge and S7 edge. Most of them either don't charge unless you take the case off, some of them stop at 100% and doesn't keep it charged at 100%, some you have to place just right or it will keep pausing and charging over and over, then you have some that charge extremely slow.
I would advise just to get the Samsung Pad or Samsung Stand wireless charger. So far it's been the best at charging wireless for Samsung phones vs 3rd party chargers. I myself use a Samsung Pad for my room, which is not the fast charging version. Charges at a good speed, even with a thick or slim case on it. Worry Free. You should be able to find on Amazon for under $30.

Do you think it'll charge through a case with a flygrip? I figure I'll have to pull the case off but I was just hoping I could, lol.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
There's a high possibility that it won't charge with the flygrip, since it will elevate the phone from the charger. But until you get it, you won't know for sure.

I've gotten it to work with an Otterbox defender case with the clip on the back. So most likely, yes. But I can't confirm with a flygrip.

no need to overthink this any samsung charger or simply check amazon reviews to see whats good for others. I m using a choetech that I got on amazon which worked great with my Note 5 but was a little picky with my S7. But it was a fast charger I only paid $20 for but I was truly happy with it.
Like I said in the beginning dont over think it either get a good cheaper fast charger or just get samsung versions. fyi - I got the free samsung wirless chargers with my note 5 free gifts and they are terrible too me
What I found is that Galaxy Note 7 supports fast wireless charging like S7/edge. I tested with Tronsmart Chocolate fast wireless charger, maximum 10W output power (9V/1.2A). And it works well with other brands Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 power adapter, not only Samsung AFC adapter.

Did you ever test a wireless charger with a Flygrip? I use one on my Note (no case), and I'd like to get a Stand version - so in addition to the 1/4" thickness of the flygrip, I also need to see if the bottom of the stand has a wide enough lip to accommodate.
