Is Note charger same as Galaxy S2 charger?

Hi,
Getting an EU version of the Note, so I need to buy a Uk charger, is the charger for the Note and Galaxy S2 compatible? Thinking buying a 3rd party Galaxy S2 charger on ebay.
Many thanks

I suspect any 5v microusb charger delivering over 0.5A will be fine.
Expansys sent me a standard HTC one (5v 1A) with my german note and I am in the UK.

Thanks, I have a couple of generic USB wall chargers at home, so might as will use them with the Note.

I can't answer the question directly, but that big screen, fast processor and larger battery are going to take a bit more juice than your average phone, including the S2. When it comes to mains chargers that may not be a big deal, unless you leave the phone active while charging, but might become an important consideration if trying to use the phone for satnav in the car, for example.
At the moment I'm using an Orange San Francisco. That has a 3.5" OLED screen and a 600MHz single core processor, so hardly an energy guzzler. The supplied charger is rated at .7A. In the car, when using satnav, my generic USB car charger cannot quite keep pace with the energy demands of that little phone and the battery level actually drops slowly while connected to power in the car. I'm definitely going to be looking for something more robust for the Note.

Note charger is 1 amp, Nexus S .7 amp, Note charges fine off the .7 amp charger.

I assume a standard Samsung GS charger would do, the output on it is 0.7A?

Surprise, my car charger was not good enough for the S2 while using nav software, but the Note charges nicely.

So could I use my Samsung Galaxy S charger with my note (that I will order soon) or shall I purchase this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Cha...KQU2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320872764&sr=8-1
... the above is 1000mA... is that enough?
Or should I just purchase a Euro/Worldwide adapter to UK plug?

You not only need a charger that can deliver more oomph, but also a lead or charger, possibly modified, that will allow the phone to draw that current. I have 1A USB chargers for the car but a regular data/charging lead only permits the phone to charge at the standard USB maximum current of 0.5A. I had to open up one of my chargers and solder the two centre pins together. Shorting those two pins signals to the phone that it can draw the full "mains" current rather than the 0.5A USB maximum.
I haven't yet charged the Note in the car, but on my previous phone the charging status would show "Charging (USB)" prior to the mod and once modded it would show "charging (AC)", which is what you need to keep the phone charged and charging while in use rather than slowly depleting.

Same inquiry as me. Thanks for those links by the way.

I have used the 2 amp charger of my galaxy tab 10.1.
I have the impression this charges my note noticably fatster.

1 amp is good..same as the GS2, i believe... so , yes- the GS2 charger should work on the Note

I can confirm that SGS2 charger works on note. However charging is slow ( its 0.7 A )
However the note charger ( 1.0 A) charges faster
dont have a 2 A charger to test but I would say that it would be the same speed as 1 A charger.
If we want faster charging, we will need the kernel to modified.
The downside would be shorter battery life.

adapter
Would it work to get an adapter from the European plug that comes with the note to US outlet?

Thing is would the USB cable that comes with the note (designed for computers) be suitable in carrying 1000mAh?
I heard that USB cables that come with phones are 0.5mAh so it won't make use of the 1000mAh...
Can anyone confirm this? If so then it's better to buy an out and out 1000mAh plus wall charger or a worldwide travel adapter.

That's also what I want to know.
There is no reason why it wouldn't work. It's just like going on holiday... US plugs to Euro/UK etc
So that's the route I will end up taking. But I may purchase an out and out 1000mAh wall plug anyway... even a 2000mAh...

Sounds like it might be worth getting an EU to UK plug adaptor then.

yes it will work fine, because the charger accepts 100-220vac 50/60Hz

The Samsung power adaptor that comes with the Note is a Universal one (110 Volts - 240 Volts) and is rated at 5 Volts 1 Amp output.
If you need an alternative for some reason (or a spare).........
Personally, I am using a generic iPad mains adaptor with dual USB sockets. The device was made in China and has a total current output of up to 2 Amps. It is a also a worldwide model. I think it charges faster than the Samsung charger.
It also charges the Note when using the MHL>HDMI output. I have read some postings that the Note very slowly loses charge when the MHL>HDMI adaptor (which has to be externally powered) is in use. With this 2A adaptor, it continues to charge.
You could also try the Genuine iPad adaptor that also works worldwide and delivers a genuine 1 Amp rather than some of the cheapie models that struggle to supply that current.

Using different chargers question please

I have numerous chargers at home all of which have charged my evo, gs2, Nexus 7, etc.
Can these be used interchangeable in the Note 2 without harming the charging process?
Thanks

As long as the Voltage is the same (5V) there is no Problem. But you should have a charger at 2 Amper for optimal charging speed.

I just tried charging mine with the normal microUSB charger I use for every other phone I have had and it took 7.5 hours to charge from 5%-62%. I used the stock charger that was in the box and it charged it in 3.5-4 hours no problem. Seems like the charger in the box charges faster.

reading this thread made me curious, my NOTE II should arrive in about a week, I can't tell for myself yet, what is the A (amps) specification mentioned on the original charger?
as i come from HTC, my current chargers go up to 1 A current. witch is the double A a standard USB port will give unless crossover'd .
thanks in advance!
----
in the wiki thread i found the answer, the supplied charger delivers 5 V 2 A output to the device.

2A! Same as the Tab 10.1 charger.
Filling a 3100mAh battery requires some grunt.

i think even the usb cable makes a difference..
when i use the stock usb cable with the stock charger ..my s3 would charge up comparatively faster than with the other usb cable connected to the same stock charger.:rolleyes

It certainly does! :good:
All electrical cables have some resistance. Very low (but not zero) for quality cables, sometimes quite noticeable for thin and cheap offerings.
From Ohm's Law we know that voltage drop will be proportional to current. A cable with a resistance of just half an ohm will loose about 0.5% at 50mA. That's pretty much nothing. However, at 2000mA the loss reaches 20%.

dude use any charger, just don't use LG charger **** !!!!!

You must use the 5volt 2amp charger and cable provided or a replacement with the same output or youll either be waiting for ever for it to charge or do some damage.
I tryed using my note 1 charger rated at 1amp and guess what? It took about twice as long to charge.

Some of my old 1 Amp chargers aren't happy at all, and will often decide to stop charging randomly.
I though it was something weird with my phone, but after switching chargers it never happened again.

USA official charger
This are the images of the official USA charger that will comes when they release the device in USA
And yes its a 2.0A charger, so the SIII charger isn't appropriate for NoteII.
this is the kind of charger used in Canada, USA, and Latin America, i bought this NoteII in Mexico from an authorized Samsung provider, of course factory unlocked 710usd, like 10,900mxn.

Has anyone tried a 3A charger? Just wondering if this would speed up charging even more than the standard 2A charger.

No, it won't speed it up. It's what the device takes from a charger, and not what a charger can potentially supply. If the device's charging circuit is spec'd for up to 2A current, that's what it will suck out of a charger, not more. You can connect a 30A lab power supply, and it will still be the same 2A (or less) input. To speed up the charging process, you need to mod the charging circuit of the device itself.

Any good replacement charger?

Hello,
I lost the charger that came with my LG G2, and the genuine one costs quite a lot in my country,
So I wonder if there is anything I can buy on eBay that is safe and charges just as quickly?
(I need EU plug btw)
Thanks

i have both stock and this one
https://www.alzashop.com/connect-it-ci-463-dual-charger-black-d2262673.htm?o=1
using original lg usb cable it charges the same as the original LG charger... and it has 2 ports for charging, which is only a bonus...
it's cheap, build quality is ok and it works well for me (i also use it to charge my tablet)
if you're in European Union - shipping is fast (it took 3-5 days for it to arrive from Cz to Croatia)
i also recommend this shop for other tech stuff, i already bought some hardware for my PC from that shop, and the quality of service (especially shipping) is great...

Try Ikea usb charger - nice choice for universal home charger
http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10291881/
It give 2.4mah for one usb port (for my device max ~1850mah)

Thank you!
By the way, if the stock charger was 1.8 amp (if I remember right), and I get a higher amp charger (2 amp for example), does the LG G2 know to lower the amp or, higher amp than what was intented might hurt the battery?

the one i recommended above (3.1 amp) automatically adjusts to connected device(s)...
or if you use a custom kernel like dorimanx' - you can manually adjust the current input (from 500mA to 2000mA) - i have it set on 1600mA and have no problem whatsoever...

Thanks, I have another question:
Will a quick charge 2.0 charger damage the LG G2 battery? Or it can work with it

Just an FYI, I bought a refurbished G2 recently and it came with a 5 volt 2 amp(2000mah) charger. I think you can get any generic charger that has those specs.
I tried a lower power one and as expected, it attempted to power up and shut off.

Belkin makes good one's...try them!

I used a p3 killawatt to measure the draw and the charger drew only about 1000 mah. So any charger that falls in that range should work.

Using genuine iphone charger with the usb for a while try it

Any good quality charger with at least 1.5A output current will do the job well. Tested, no issues.

Thanks, but I wanted specific ones of high quality that you may know of

Did some further testing. With the phone powered off, the phone draws about 1700 mah or 1.7. So a 1.8 mah charger would be about the max of its capabilities. It also charges the phone in 2 hours.
With the phone turned on, I guess it charges at a slower rate.

Just look for a brand name with 1.5A - 2.0A current output. I'm using different chargers and they all produce similar results - Sony 1.5A charger from SRS X3 Bluetooth speaker; Samsung 2.0A charger from Galaxy Tab 4; the LG 1.8A one that came with the phone; etc. Charging time is about 2h on idle / screen off, as mentioned above.

Which FAST charger I should order for my new Huawei P9

Hi to all
Just ordered a new EVA-AL00 from eBay last night. I am living in Canada. May I know which charger I should order to take advantage of the quick charging capability of the P9 ?
Is P9 using QC 2.0 or 3.0 ?
Please kindly advise ASAP.

HI
wrong! fast charging is supported by huawei fast charger
but only with this charger i tryed with asus 5v2A/ 9v2A but dont working

anyone who can provide a link to where i can buy one with an eu plug?

I'm considering buying this phone over the S7 (although still undecided) and I still don't get the battery thing (charging or battery life, I get people telling me all sorts of contradictory things that I'm having a hard time to fact check). That 9V/2A charger doesn't come with the phone, right? How much faster is that Huawei charger compared with the 5V that comes with the phone and what is it called since I can't find it on their site or anywhere? Is that the Mate 8 charger?

Yes it's mate 8 charger

Well, no EU plug still available. But it will be later I think. It is not QC 2 or 3, it won't work. Search for "Huawei 9V 2A Charger".
The result should be like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-9V...hash=item280f7d97a4:m:mNQwKZr7I5KHReS9CA2RwkA
As I metioned, no EU plug yet, so via adapter only.

It's fine, it will charge as a standard charger at 5V. I would have to brush up my Ohm's law but I don't even get why Huawei's standard charger on the P9 has 2 Amp electric current value. What matters is the voltage going into the battery and you don't need a 2 Amp charger to give you 5 volts, a regular 1amp will be able to do that. The only difference I know is that 5V at 1 amp are 5 watts and 5V at 2 amps are 10 W. But that has only to do with resistance, I think, a battery isn't fed on watts?
I'm really on the fence about this fast charging thing now. I never got it. Qualcomm's has its QC 2.0 tech but a Motorola charger is faster than any other. An S7 Edge with amuch bigger battery charges as fast as an HTC 10 and the Edge has a 2.0 QC and the HTC is 3.0. The G5 is also 3.0 and charges way faster than the HTC, even compensating for the different battery capacity. And I own a G2 which has no fast charging at all and will charge from 0 to 100% in less than 2 hours on a 5V generic charger, which isn't very far off the times I see with 3000mah batteries and Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0... Why these differences?? No idea... Somehow I think battery chemistry has a lot to do with it (it does in the RC and electronic cigarette world) but I never see anyone addressing that.

Nearly right! A little analogy may help... Think of Voltage (V) as the diameter of the water tap, Ampage (A) as the speed of the water through the tap and Wattage (W) as how quick you want the bath the taps are filling!
So you can see, a small diameter tap but high water speed will still not fill bath very quickly, neither will a big diameter tap and slow water speed...you need both together. So 9V2A should charge quicker than 5V2A (18W compared to 10W).
As I understand it the P9 will accept charging at 9V and 2A (their Fast Charging) giving max 18W input so a 9V2A charger should give the best results (which is what the P8's fast charger is)...and what the qualcomm quick charge 2.0 (and 3.0) spec can provide. Now i'm not saying the P9 is a qualcomm quick charge phone, it's not, but my QC2.0 and 3.0 car chargers certainly charge my phone quicker than the included mains charger! So i suspect that the car chargers are providing 9V2A to the phone.
Whether this means any 9V2A charger would do......I don't know

in the box, redmi 6 provides 5V 1A charger, which is too small and slow for me. is it save if I use other original xiaomi charger from other device/series (such as redmi 4 series which have 5V 2A power)?

For me slow charging is perfect for battery life.

yes

Unfortunately, our devices have limited charging to 1A. The use of higher current chargers will not hurt, while the charging phase, unfortunately, will not accelerate :/

But remember that's a good point for battery life.
