[Q] Charging difference between computer & adaptor

Is there any difference between (USB) charging from computer (Laptop) and charging directly from AC adapter (Samsung provided)?
Because, I was using my phone more than two month with SetCPU for more batter life, and I was able to use 3 or 4 days. But just yesterday I charged from my laptop and was full 100%. But after 21 hours I got 15% battery renaming. It’s seems like drain battery after i charged from Laptop. Anyway I will try to charge today from AC adapter which is Samsung provided with phone.
May I know if any one experienced this.

The only visible difference should be in charging time - AC adapter should do it much faster providing the current of up to 1A (1000mA), much less then that to be expected from PC USB port.
I'd rather search for some rogue app draining the battery, maybe betterbatterystats would be a good place to start.

there wont be any dfference, the battery will get a charge from either but usb as mentioned wil ltake longer to charge

if i got 21hrs from my battery i would not be asking ANY questions!!..

USB ports are low power
your wall plug has a higher output than your computer USB port
PC USB = 5v 0.5amps
wall plug = 5v 1amp
so a wall plug will charger faster.

use SetCPU governor, I am sure you will get 3 to 4 days (moderate usage). same as mine.
My final finding; If we charge through PC-USB, it will take time to charge and same time, will discharge rapidly. because I charge my phone yesterday with AC-adapter and now my batter level is 13 hours with 95%. While I charge from PC-USB it was 20 hours with 15%. (all time are in moderated usage, and no any apps are not installed during this period)
I don't know how this, but this is my experiences.

I get the same results that's why I don't charge it through my usb port.

I agree with your conclusion that low-power charging just doesn't last on the Note. I was travelling and mistakenly took the wall adapter for my Plantronics BT headset instead of the Sammy adapter. It charges basically at the same rate as the computer usb. It took forever to charge, which was expected, but drained EXTREMELY quickly (10% / hour with almost no usage). By the end of the trip I was keeping it plugged into the charger whenever possible.
Back home on my original charger the phone is behaving like normal again. (84% after 8 hours with BT on and about 20 minutes of talk time / display on)

[Q] 300cm Cellphone Charge Cable USB To Micro USB For Android

I am having a problem where charging is beyond slow when using this cable. It will charge 50% in 8 hours.
And if phone is in use it will discharge while plugged in.
When i switch back to original cable that came with my note 2 it takes 4h or so to fully charge my battery.
Anybody else have tested this or similar cable?
I no longer need it since i got my zero-lemon battery but it would be good for my wife on her S3
Is there a tested alternative someone can recommend?

Mine too, too slow. Check the current with: Galaxy Charger current, get from play store. Only 400mAH.
and,
I bought one which LED, 1 meter, it can not charge. 0mAH.
:crying:

The longer/thinner the cable the slower the charging will be. Its best to always either stick with OEM or verified manufacturers for chargers and cables

Quick Charging Problems

I purchased my Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge from Best Buy and it came with the free wireless charger.
I've found that when using the white charger that came with the phone is charges extremely slow. If I use the wireless charger or one of my other phones chargers its fine and charges at the normal rate.
1.) Plugged phone in at 45% w/stock white charger I get 4hr till 100%. Using Ampere it's an average of 90mA-170mA.
2.) Charging at 45% w/wireless charger it says 1hr 37min till 100%. Reading from Ampere is 270mA-390mA.
3.) Plugged in at 45% w/diff cell charger it says 1hr till 100%. Reading from Ampere is 700mA-1000mA.
So, obviously #3 charges the phone a hell of a lot faster. (More like the speed of the s5)
Anyone else having same or other issues when it comes to charging?

Slow Charging 9.7" Tab S2...

Hey guys,
I haven't used my Galaxy Tab S2 in a while now. When I plugged it in it was at 0%. I used "a" (possibly not original that came with box) OEM 2.0A Samsung Charger + Note 5/Samsung Official Cable to charge my tablet. It has only gone up by 5% in the past 30 minutes.
Also when it was at 0% it said it'd take 7hr 12min to fully charge.
Is this normal when the tablet has not been used in a long time, or am I possibly looking at a bad charger/cable as the charger and cable charge my Note 5 just fine at the normal (non-fast charge) speed where it charges my phone fully in just over 1hr 30 min.
If someone could help me out to resolve this I'd be grateful.
Thanks! :laugh:

Don't think the charger and cable are faulty as they work on your mobile. Generally whenever I charge my Samsung galaxy tab s2 using a different charger it shows a notification if the charger plugged in is slow. If it didn't show this I don't see why it would take so long other than the charger your using has a lower output causing it to take a lot longer than usual to charge.

Every android device I have will sometimes not charge fast enough - it doesn't matter what charger I'm using. If I catch that the charge is slow I just unplug it and replug it a it'll be normal again. I think the "smart charge" goes crazy sometimes.

I had the same problem on the tab s2 8''. It was because the motherboard broke. They fixed it under warranty.
When I had this problem I couldn't attach any external device (usb, playstation controller) through USB. Try if you can

I don't have the original charger anymore to compare on my 9.7. I use anker potable batteries to be free of wall sockets. It isn't 2.0. In battery monitor widget, really good app, shows charge anywhere from 1200-1600mA 20% per hour while in use during charging. 5 hours total. I think with screen off I get 30%. I get 10 hours of screen on time zero loss with it off over night. Using 5.1
It could be the motherboard. I know with laptops charging starts to mess up a few weeks before it no longer works at. The connection between the USB and board weakens over time/use.

Sounds normal. The big Lion batteries in these devices are just weird at time. Running one down to 0 is a good way to kill the battery permanently. Let it charge slowly and then keep it above 20-30% from now on. Should improve over time.

I think its a myth you shouldn't let the battery get low. As long as the battery itself says I'm at zero at the correct voltage then zero is perfectly fine. I'm not an expert here but at 5% battery I'm at 3.6v and will turn off in a few minutes after that. I think batteries are manufactured to safely go down to 3.2 before saying no more. Need to charge.

wireless charger very slow

hi guys, i'm from a 8 note and now i'm using sasung's original 8 wireless wireless charger to plow my new 9 notes, but i'm noticing that it's really slow, is it normal? I have the impression that even imposed fast charge does not change anything, do you have any suggestions?

im also using the wireless charger that I received from Samsung in 2018 for the note 8 promotion.
I can confirm that fast wireless charing takes 2 hours + on the note 9 and up to 3 hours when using slow wireless charging.
Also, keep in mind we have a way bigger battery so i am not surprised seeing these charge times compared to the note 8. I know Samsung released a new wireless charger so we might see better charge times on that??

I use the wireless charger I bought for my Note 4 for $12. It charges my phone in 2 hours from 50%, which is about double than using the cord. It doesn't say slow, or fast, just charging.

I use a Samsung wireless charger I had with a kit when I bought my S8+ and it says "Fast charging wireless" I believe. I use it to charge over night though so not sure how long it takes.

I use the ADATA CW0100 charger with Sony UCH10 QC2.0 Charger - the phone says it's fast charging but it takes about 3 hours to go from 11% to ~100% (with a clear case + bus card in between on the back). The interesting issue is which power brick I use. WIth Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charge power brick, I kept getting a charging paused error in the previous firmware, unless I have the phone placed in a very specific position without a case. With the update (N960FXXU2ARI9), it no longer gives me the error even if I charge it with a case, but the charging seems a bit more noisy in comparison to the UCH10 (there's no fans, it sounds like the inductor making a pulsing clicking sound). Will be checking its charging speed.
EDIT: I spoke to soon, it started the charging paused error again after I posted here. If you want to use third-party wireless chargers for fast charging, please use QC2.0/3.0 chargers instead of Samsung's own.
