Has anyone used this before? is it worth getting?
I use mine every day. You'll have a car charging plug that goes from the cigarette lighter to the dock and then a cable from three headphone output on the phone unless you use Bluetooth

Any suggestions on this? It seems my nexus is very picky about only using the stock cord. I couldn't even get it to charge with my galaxy S2 cord. Charge icon was on but didn't charge.
Thoughts?

I use a USB 3.0 Cable extender that I got for like $3 off eBay. Charge time is the same and the cord is 6ft longer
Search and you will find a great thread on cables and chargers and what works and doesn't and why.
I picked up a couple of these when they were on discount ($9.95 at the time). LONG 6ft cables and they work great for not only the Nexus 7 but other devices as well (Raspberry Pi)...

Even at the current price of $16.31 I would not hesitate to buy one.
Thanks guys, I will try that. I hate this little cord.

I used $random cable in the house, works fine. Just make sure you use the OEM charger, unless the cable is super crap it should just work.
Im using my old charger from my blackberry curve 8300 with a mini usb to micro usb adapter on it because it was the longest charger I have. It worked to charge my original evo 4g, it charges my evo lte, and it charges my nexus 7 as well.
Here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
I paid $3.94 total. Should have been smart and ordered two (other half wants one) but I wanted to be sure it works. It's great and plenty long enough.

Does anyone have any information about a wireless charging option? I mean the s3 was supposed to have it but until now nothing and I fear for the note
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Not yet aviable an im sure it will never arrive
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Can you elaborate please? I mean the only reason I'm asking is for instance the S3 has been announced with it, so I guess the NoTe2 has the aptitude. plus as you can see on the picture there are two vacant connector pins which are quiet similar to the Nfc ones. It should be their purpose no?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
We know the S3 was announced with it, but it still isn't available in most of the world. Samsung is being very slow about it, and seeing how the S3 does not have a proper one yet, the Note 2 probably won't see one anytime this century.
I found this on eBay.

That's a Palm Pre Touchstone unit, which you can buy for about a fifth of that.
S3 thread on the subject of wireless charging. Did it to my S3, worked fine, just made the standard back bulge a bit with the induction unit was all.

Was that post above confirmation about wireless charging built into the note 2? Strongly considering one if it had the same charging posts as the s3

Yes the note2 has wireless charging.
You just need the unit.
Since the Note 2 uses a higher mA rate, will the currently available wireless chargers be effective? It worked on the GS3 due to a lower charging rate I assume. I saw posts where people stated they used 1A chargers from prior devices and it hardly charged their Note
2 at all.
Edit - I just realized a few minutes ago, you can use the 2A wall plug from your Note 2 right? Lol

If the touchstone wireless charger charges at 1amp with its original palm charger, will it charge at 2amp if I connect the galaxy note ii charger to it?
Also wondering if I applied the palm coil to my note ii, will I be able to charge it wirelessly with the 2amp hp touchpad touchstone dock charger?
Mmmmm
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The touchstone will charge the note 2 from 0 to 100% in about 6 hours. Most likely a different adapter connected to the touchstone won't make any significant difference

Seems the wait is almost over
So does this confirm then that the panel on the back of the Note II is ONLY the NFC antenna not a combined NFC and induction charging panel, as some people are claiming?
I did wonder what the other two connectors were all about, now it seems clear THEY are where the induction coil will attach if you have the official kit.
I want to buy a dual charger/dock which input and output the 2 amps from my Travel Adapter that came with the phone. I haven't found one. Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
I have a dock which charges my phone and a spare battery at the same time plus it has a second micro usb socket for data sync and you can rest you note2 on it in landscape mode.

Well my cable crapped out on me and I can't seem to find another one. I looked on amazon but only found knockoffs which usually die quickly as well

Why not send it back to sammy for replacement? I swear some of you guys go round robins barn looking for replacement this or that when all you gotta do is send it back to sammy. Even if you bought it second hand, I'm sure they will replace the cable. I've taken my phones into other carriers and had them replace trivial stuff... Like dead cables.

I just buy a bunch of cables from monoprice. They're cheap and I haven't seen any difference compared to the original samsung cable. Since all the phones in the house are android phones, it's easy to just buy micro usb cables in bulk.
Why buy anything if you don't have to? I could have that cable and wall charger replaced with a 5 minute phone call. That's my philosophy anyhow.

I called verizon they won't replace with anything but a 1amp charger and want my.OEM one back which was a no go. And I never knew you could call Samsung. Also as far as going to the carrier last time this happened to me they replaced it with a 1 foot generic cable that didn't even work my store sucks. Will be calling Sammy today though thanks everyone

For what it was worth I just ordered mono price premium cables since that was all o needed anyway. Samsung wanted my whole charger and its a two week turnaround I don't have a spare charger to use.

any cheapo USB-microUSB will work to charge the phone. I use the one that came it it a lot, but I have extra cheapo in the car, in a bag I take to work, another in my backpack for school, a few more around the house.
For charging, they're fine. To transfer data, just fine too. Where I notice a difference between cheapo and the one that came with the phone is when I WiFi Tethering and using the MHL adapter while streaming a movie or sporting event. Neither can keep the phone charged, but the cheapos, the GN2 drains the battery faster. 20% per hour vesus 10%.
Thus, if you have a cable from other phones you don't use anymore, just use it. Although, I like the calling Samsung idea.
I bought this one and has worked like a charm

Mono price is the way I'm going I'm gonna take it your a long time customer? I'm going for the premium cables since they just look nicer. I've heard the touchpad charger is great I may pick one up as a spare.

I have authentic / genuine OEM charging cables from Samsung. PM me if interested.
In the car I have to use the usb port on my FM Transmitter which is like 70ma! So it's a trickle charger. I tried the ones with my car socket adapter nope as they are 500ma.... I also have a 2.1A adapter but yeah that of course won't work.
So do I need to fish out a 100ma for it to charge properly in the car? I think I have some usb car adapters somewhere from other gadgets I can try....
Picky phone.... Any tweaks to make it accept more juice?
Just curious....
I have no problem using my car charger, or USB port on my stereo, I have even used a 9v battery to charge my phone. Maybe you have a bad port

Could it be the USB cable? I noticed with the duel port backup battery I have 2.1/1A it will only charge on the 1A port. I was hoping for quicker charging on the 2.1A port.

Yeah it's annoying.
I too am having big issues with using car chargers. I guess I never tried before. I tried with several chargers in several cars. No luck at all getting my T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G to charge. I want to start using it for navigation.
What is the duracell charger mentioned above. I saw a duracell charger at the drugstore but it was just a lighter plug adapter and looked just like any other. Do duracell cigarette lighter plug adapters work with the T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4G better than other adapters?
Is this a known issue about T-mobile Samsung Exhibit 4phones not working with car adapters? I will search for other threads on the issue but haven’t seen it except for here.
I am running peach sunrise if that matters.
Thanks
Drew
The Duracell one gives the proper power out for this phone, as well as the Nexus 4, so I would imagine it works on all Android phones, making it a good investment. Some come will Android and iPhone plugs, too!
