My USB cable that came with my One finally broke. I went and got a USB cable at Best Buy for my phone but it charges extremely slow. I'm guessing it's just the type of cable that is causing this.
What should I get for a cable that will bring me back to normal charging speeds?

When I first got the phone earlier this week, I could plug it into the charger in the wall just fine with no issues, it would just charge. Now suddenly it started telling me USB connected and goes to the MTP screen and of course locks up the phone.
I can of course bypass this by switching the phone to mass storage mode, but since I have Kies and use it occasionally, it would be nice to not have to switch that setting each time depending on my charging/syncing situation.
Why would it have not locked it up with the MTP screen originally when charging from the wall but now it does? The results are the same whether its plugged into the wall or the USB port on the computer. I have two Captivates bought brand new on a family plan, both do this now with any combination of chargers and USB cables, wall USB port, or car charger. Neither one has a common application installed since the other is my girlfriends who hasnt done much to it yet, so Im blaming the phone itself for now...

Interesting. I just checked with my BB charger and they dont do it using that charger, but they do it as soon as I connect the stock charger again.
Im wondering if its a voltage sensing circuit thats tripping due to the different voltages which should be applied - either wall charger or USB port. Maybe for some reason my wall chargers arent putting out enough voltage and its thinking its a USB port, but the BB charger is putting the right amount of voltage out?
Am I on base as to how it differentiates between wall or USB port? The number of pins obviously doesnt matter as all the cables have all the pins in them, unlike some charger cables which only have the power and ground. The only thing I can think of is that it uses the amount of voltage/current to tell the difference and create its reaction.

Sounds like a problem with the stock charger, maybe usb cable alignment. My iphone wall adapter does this with the samsung cable but the samsung wall adapter doesn't, same with my car charger from att. Also I have a $5 walmart car charger that has a cable that splits into both a mini usb and a micro usb that isn't a real usb cable, it's charge only. That cable has no problem on any wall or car adapter. I believe the phone detects if its connected by checking voltage on a data pin (just a guess really) so if a nonstock charger is used it assumes that it is a computer. But it may also be a data signal that is given off by the charger.

did you try a new charger and if so, did it work? I've had my captivate since Thursday and on Thursday it charged and everything fine, but then yesterday,
a) no computer I connect it to while recognize it, no matter what I have it set too and have latest drivers installed
b) if I charge it, after I unplug it, it locks up to black screen and I have to remove the battery to get it to work
c) I also have an in-dash touchscreen monitor in my car that has a usb port because it works with an ipod. I plugged the usb into to use it as a car charger, unplugged it, same thing
d) it did say usb connected after it was unplugged, but I switched from mass storage to ask on connection and it went away
so is an actual wall charger the solution?

and now I unplug it, and if it locks, it will not unlock, just black screen
I have to take out the battery and then only way to get it to turn back on, is to plug it back in the wall

^^^Ouch that's not right, if you can't figure it out you may need to re-flash or just bring it back under warranty, or insurance

My dog just ate my standard mini usb charger. Can i charge my phone with normal usb cable (while connected to latop/pc) or is it problematic for the battery life?
Can I use any other mini usb charger like HTC desire?

I assume this is a troll
If not I'd like to see some pictures of it.
Yes you can use any other MICRO-usb charger, not MINI. USB cable works as well
Haha! unfortunately no troll He cut the cable into two pieces, so it is completly destroyed and the connector is damaged too.
Im pretty pissed, dont have the money to rebuy a new one So ill stick with my usb connector. Just wanted to go sure that my phone wont take any damage while charging with my laptop
I connect my phone to my pc via MICRO-usb cable. It charges phone also but it's slower than normal charger.
after years of not issue, yesterday my note stop charging in the outlet chargers, I have several all do not charge it but have no issues charge my wifes phone.
but I can charge the phone with the same orig cable when the usb is my computer and not the outlet.
any clues why my phone will charge in my computer with same cable but not in orig outlet plug. please tell me I do have to have my $2K high end gaming desktop on just to charge my phone in its usb slot.
I cleaned everything, it is a new battery

any help is apprecaited
I guess problem is in your adapter..try different adapter and see if it helps

I have tried 4 different adapter/cords combos ( just in my house) none of them charge my phone in an outlet - all work with my wife's smaller samsung in output. so weirdly only a direct usb with the oem cord to computer works ( in both my desk and laptop). so weird. so annoying.
You have to buy a new charging port, and the board that comes with it. This is a link to the part you need. If you search "n7000 charging port flex ribbon" you should be able to find other places that have it. http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-charging-port-flex-cable-ribbon.html
How hot does the end of your USB cable get (the side plugging into the phone) while fast charging?
Hi,
Just found your topic on Google and yes, the part you plug in your S6 gets REALLY hot..
I don't know if I'm the only one, but it only happens when I'm using the fast charger.
Is it normal that the USB plug is getting quite warm while charging? Not the device itself, just the white USB plug on the stock cable that plugs into the tablet.
It's not hot, but it sure is around 40°C guesstimated. Never noticed that in any other device. The tablet and the cable are almost new, no abuse so far. I don't have a second Micro-USB cable at hand, but I might get one to test.
That's normal.
