[Q] USB 2.0 battery charger? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do any of you use the older style charger to charge your note 3's? I just thought id see if it works and it does work to charge the phone just fine but I was wondering if there's any side affects to using the older style charger.

yesterday mine charged fully in 2 hours with the phone charger (USB 3.0) and later drained to 2% then overnight using note 2 charger (USB2.0) after ~6 hrs it was 87%.
Both are 2 amps btw.
so there seems to be a difference.. maybe someone can answer why?
I am not rooted and looking at Battery monitor widget, it charges about 35% in an hour vs 12% on note 2 charger.

Mine seem to charge at the same rate with either charger. I'm not using the stock note 2 cable though, its a 10ft usb2.0 I bought off amazon and its supposed to charge the phone faster they claim :laugh:

This should answer your questions about usb 2.0 vs 3.0 charging.

You need to use a micro USB 3 cable or you'll never see the two amps the stock charger can do. I've tried this with a random micro USB 3 cable and an Asus prime charger.

[Q] Charge status question..

Hi.
Sorry for this noobish question but I really don't have any idea if this thing is charging or not -- I have attach an image when device is powered off.. though it looks like it is charging but every time I turn the device on it says that it is not charging on status settings menu, and got that "Connect your charger" on the lock screen.
Sounds as if insufficient current.
Are you using original wall charger?

No. My sister give this to me but she forget to send the wall charger, so what I'm using is my current HTC adapter. So this is how tab works? lol. Darn. I thought chargers are all the same.
My charger (original) is rated at 2.0A
I think it does need rather high current.

you can charge it with lower current as long as you turn off your tab (just like what you are doing in the picture), but it will take at least half a day to charge it.
You can probably charge it slightly faster by connecting it to the computer with Fast Charge enabled. FWIW my Tab charges just fine with a 650ma, a 1A, and the 2A stock charger.

Will this USB charger work properly with stock Asus USB cable ?

Pls reply fast any1. I am really struggling as the I got my nexus 7 from USA and I can't use the USA charger in India. I have this Samsung charger - ATADU10IBE, but it is charging very slowly, like 1% in 20-30 mins. Thanks in advance.

Also if this won't work properly then can any suggest any other option(USB CHARGER) which I can buy online in India or a converter which I can use with ASUS US wall charger. In India we use European style wall chargers.

5V 2A is what you need at least, or get a pin converter like this http://bit.ly/S8E53E which should be available easily.

Slow charging, even discharging

I don't have the iriginal charger, so I use a 1amper charger I used on my Sensation. The charger of the One seems to be the same, so why does my phone charge so slow? For the first time today I played a game and the battery discharges while the charger us plugged in. Maybe the input is limited, cause the phone knows it's not the original charger? Please help

Cord went bad, use/buy a new one.
What's the maximum charge speed of this phone? I used battery monitor widget and it doesn't charge faster than 600 ma

Usb 2.0 charger still works on gs5

Was on my way to the store to buy a charger no rep was available to assist me so I started playing with the s5 demo phone and noticed they were charging it with a USB 2.0 so basically they're lack of service saved me 25$. Thanks At&t
I noticed this the other night. I also noticed that the supplied 3.0 cord would not work with an old usb wall charger

USB 3.0 charging is much faster though.

yeh no doubt, I can't believe how fast this thing charges. My i777 was so slow to charge full, maybe 3-4 hours? S5 is like just over an hour or so to 100%, much faster then even our iPhones which were only a little quicker than i777. I thought i remember someone saying on older Androids Sammy and others like capped the current or something, at least on the i777 and other Sammy phones that's what people were saying, which is why it was so slow to charge even on a wall charger as it was capped too. Not sure of the truth there, but USB 3 and S5 is blazing fast charging for a 2800mh battery.

This is only on laptop's that have USB 3.0.
If you have a 2 amp charger it will charge it at 2 amps regardless of connector.
I am using my note 10.1 2014 2 amp charger, charges just fine and just as fast.

Quick question about charger

Hi all,
I've just ordered my 3rd battery for my S3 mini as other two got very swolen and phone starts to power off at 40%. Can someone please tell me the output power (in mA) of the original charger as I've lost mine and been using chargers of other phones (heard that using incorrect amps can damage battery).
it's about 500 to 600mA
5.0V - 0.7A (700mA)

And I bought a new battery, because the stock one became weak after a year of use.
