this is the 4 port usb charger that charges the samsung galaxy note 10.1 without any adapters, only one port will charge it properly but that is all you need and you can charge your phone (mine is a note II) with the other and have 2 more ports for ???

it does need some superglue on the sides, as the case split a little on me, but for what it does and is and for the price, I'll glue it.
I'm using the Apple 10W USB AC wall charger. What I like about it is the USB receptacle - it doesn't connect on the sides, which is very annoying when you're charging from an power extension board. It also has a lot less electrical noise, so using it to charge an unmodded stock Galaxy SII doesn't affect the touchscreen sensitivity. And because the AC head is detachable, I can switch it with other heads or use an AC cable.

Sounds good. Now what cable are you using. I still have the stock wall charger I'm just missing the actual usb cable. I was looking for a reliable replacement but Have yet to find one. The one I have know chargers very slowly.

I'm using the original cable that came with my Note 2, sometimes the Galaxy S2 stock cable. There's no difference in time taken charging when using either cable.
It's like they're made for each other

I'm using a Samsung 2.1 amp tablet charger from my old tab 8.9. Works great.

I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 7 to replace my in dash OG Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. This means I'll need a car charger that outputs enough juice.
In my tablet experience, HTC Flyer/Asus Transformer/HTC Evo View/OG Galaxy Tab, only the OEM chargers put out enough juice to keep it charging under load.
So, what are the requirements, and has anyone found a suitable car charger that should meet those while wifi/Bluetooth/GPS are active?

I have gotten away from using cigarette lighter chargers, and now just use a good converter. All my existing chargers and toys, including laptop, just plug into it.
Thanks folks.
Now to see if otg and charging can work together to solve the last problems.
No room for an inverter in my dash unfortunately.

I just ordered this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320779506851 from ebay
Its the cheapest one that I could find that specifically stated it has 4.2 amps max output (2.1 amp for each port).
With shipping, it was a little pricey at 20.00 but if it performs as advertised I'll be happy.
That charger should be fine, but in general believe no specs you see on EBay. A lot of cheap (this one is not) chargers made in China just flat lie. Listed as 5V 2amp - well yes, just not at the same time. You can have 5 volts or two amps, just not at the same time. Even a good brand name does not help you - there are a lot of fakes. Look at the construction, and run some simple tests if it matters.

I also used an inverter, but my alternator kept failing...Not sure if there is a connection...But I don't think its the most efficient way to utilize the 12volts DC, converting it into AC and then the AC power cord converts the juice back into DC. Seems like a waste.

When this same question is asked for most 2amp devices lately the answer has been this ^ Although it's only 950mA
Especially for those wanting to use their phone's in the car with GPS turn by turn navigation, streaming and bluetooth enabled.
The Genuine Original Motorola Rapid Rate Charger is the only one that has really worked.
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehi...&keywords=original+motorola+car+quick+charger
YMMV, Now to find the vendor that sells the real thing..
I've just ordered one from Amzon, is a dual usb port one, 2.1 amps on 1 port, 1amp on the other, gets good reviews saying that it charges power hungry devices quickly and only a couple of quid!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-Char...VSRK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342262522&sr=8-2
Just got it in yesterday.. Tried it today, works great! No notification of "slow charging" and it goes much quicker than my regular standard usb charger does (the old ones for my gnex).
I have this one, the USB plug labeled 2A works for fast charging with my OEM LG micro USB cable, and the micro USB cable that came with my original Motorola Droid Razr.

Check out "ventev" product line up. They are a little pricey, but they have a great warranty as well as smart chip technology that stops the charge when the phone is fully charged.

Correct me if I'm wrong, But isn't 2A too high a charge rate for the G2?? The base for the GNEx is .15A, which is why we get the slow charge indication. The charge port that comes with the G2 is rated at .3A. I would think that the rated 2A charge in this thread would damage the battery over a period of time.
The stock lg charger (AC) is rated at an OUTPUT of 1.8 amps. So these should be fine in a pinch for car charging. The gnex was 1.0

A 2A port will give you Quick Charge. I'm pretty sure you can have over 2A on a port, and the device will only pull as much power as it needs. As long as the port is rated 5V, it'll be fine. It's 2A/3A/whatever available, not how much the charger forces into the plug. Kinda like how a home outlet is rated at 120V and usually 15A; devices will need to be rated for 120V and will pull only as much amperage as they need.
I might get this one because it's compact and has two ports at 1A and 2A.

My old qc 2.0 that can fast charge my note 5 won't work anymore on my n8. Any fast car charger recommendations that works on your note 8? tia.
the one I got from anker for my note 4 stilll does the job
I got an official Samsung dual fast charger on Amazon for $11 last year. It's great.
Samsung AFC Dual Fast Car Charger (EP-LN920) Adaptive Fast Charging-White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LOXP0VA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_b85Uzb63J31AS
Look around and you can maybe find the black one for the same price. I own an Anker, Tronsmart and Aukey car fast charger too. I like the Samsung official the best. Think it charges the best as well.
I use this one, and it fast charges 2 Note 8s at the same time with no problems.
All the fast charging accessories I've got (all from Anker) work a treat, it was one of this first things I tested as I wasn't sure if The QC spec of Quick Charge worked with Exynos devices.
I have a Belkin charger I have used for a couple of years. It seems to work nearly as well as our brick wall chargers.

Get the real samsung one. It's like 17 bucks and can fast charge 2 samsung fast charge devices at the same time. Many of the cheap aftermarket ones can't do 2 at the same time.

I have this one and it works great. I'd have preferred a 4 port like my last one but all 3 ports on this will quick charge my s7 for work and my note 8. My 4 port only had 1x quick charge so it's a trade off
My Dell venue 11 pro convertible ( i5 / 8gb ddr3 / 256gb Ssd) charges fine with this as well.

Ok I got my 128gb card and my Samsung wireless convertible charger today. I also have last year's wireless charger. I set my new wireless charger up and when connected my phone it says charging. When I put my phone on my older one it says fast charging. Also when I put it on the wall plug it says fast charging. Is anyone else having these problems?
Nope. My new Samsung charger came with a new adaptive fast charge adapter and usb c cable. Says fast charging. I'd never spend that much on a Samsung model. Still doesn't charge properly in portrait mode. My $15 youshare wireless fast charge base works just as well

I figured it out I have a 3.0 charging hub and when it is connected to that it does not fast charge. But if I hook my phone straight to the hub it fast charges. So it has to be a Samsung wall plug for it to fast charge.
Yup I have a 6 port anker qc hub but the fast chargers all require the stock wall adapter for some reason. The aftermarket ones are the same way

The Samsung wireless charger from last year works on my Anker hub. It's just the new one. Not a big deal its not like it's going to charge any faster.

It could be charger specific using different protocols. I have an Mbox 4 port qc 2.0 car charger that will not charge the note 8 in fast charge mode. I had to purchase another charger that is qc 3.0 to get it working.

Notice the packaging for the new (Note 8) Convertible charger has been changed to a slimmer, nicer box. Wonder if they changed the charger it's self?
I have noticed mine will only say wireless charging and not fast wireless charging sometimes. If I take the phone off and pit it back on it jump to fast wireless charging.
Neither my portable charger or my car charger will fast charge. Both used to fast charge back before with my S7.
Is there something different about the note 8 that prevents it from quick charging? Although if you look at the time remaining till fully charged it isn't much below the plugged in time.

Nothing different on Note 8, should work fine. Have you tried another cable? Cheap cables are usually the main culprit & the stock Samsung cables IMO are not quality cables.
Also it's not uncommon for aftermarket chargers to have the QC circuitry fail. I've have 2 Tronsmart chargers fail, one a car charger, the other AC. Still charges but not fast charge. I usually trust & have good experience with Anker stuff but I have had an Anker power bank fail for fast charge. But on that power bank it was a defect, it failed right away as where the Tronsmart charger I had failed after 6 months or so. Most of my cables are Anker & I haven't had any issues with any of the Anker cables I've had since fast harging came out.
I use Amazon cables. The one in my house will fast charge with the wall charger but not with the portable charger.

Here is the difference in charge time left between the two charges using the same cable.

Try charging to 20-30% then try the car charger again & see if switches to fast charge then.
I thought that fast charging was made by the phone comunicating with the charger an asking it to switch from 2A at 5v to 1.67 A at 9 volts, fast charging being a two part process, the device able to accept it, and a charger able to switch amperage and voltage, in samsung devices normal charge is made at 10W, (2A x 5V) and fast charge at 15W (1.67A x 9V), but, again, the charger must be able to switch this parameters
