can anyone suggest a good portable charger that will work on s3 mini? it has to be under $25, preferably hold at least two charges.
Then this may be something for you:

I have the 10400mAh version, which is working great, so the 5200mAh version should also be working flawlessly.

I was looking for some solution to keep my galaxy living long while being far from civilization. I did found, I am very happy with this, so I think would be good to share this.
I bought this: Scosche goBAT II.
Most of such tools are designed to I-toys. Well, this one also, but it has also special connector which allows you to use it with samsung galaxy tab. Our batteries has 4000 mAH, this charger is 5000 mAH, so you fully recharge your galaxy (it will take a few hours).
You can of course using tablet while charging
Post link pls...where did you bought the charger?
Yes, please post a link, I've just got a great stable rom running and, battery isnt all that great.
I'm looking for a heavy-duty longer, preferably rightangle cable to charge my N7. The short one works well, but longer ones I have are not heavy enough and take forever to charge the N7.
Thanks,
Jim

I would also like to know if something like this is available as I've not been able to find anything on my quick searches.
Have you tried getting a USB extension cable instead? I bought some from fry's a while back and it works to charge my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, which also needs more than 1A. Some cables I bought from Amazon did not work, though.. so it's a hit and miss.
I bought a couple of 2m generic Chinese cables with a right angled micro usb plug off eBay a while ago, they work fine. They are not heavy duty but are cheap to buy.
careful with usb extensions. my 10ft tripp lite does not work at all to charge my N7.
I can confirm the iSound Power Max (18,000 mah) battery does not work.
Zagg Sparq 2.0 (6,000 mah) works if you're not using the optimized port, and the Solio Bolt solar charger (2,200 mah) works as well.
Looking for alternatives too as my 6600mah Lenmar I've been using for my phone is a no go even though it has a 2.1amp. charges my kids ipad no problem.
The Samsung port on my Anker 10000mah unit works fine

Just be aware that it isn't always the portable charger that doesn't work but it could be the cable. Based on the few threads already discussing which aftermarket chargers and car chargers work, you can see a pretty strange pattern of some cables working with a charging unit while others don't.
Just an example, I was testing my 2A Griffin Car Charger last night and it didn't work with the stock cable (Cable that came with the N7). But once I tried it with the cable that came with my Portable Charger, it worked.
My New Trent IMP1000 works with the cable that came with it (retractable with interchangeable micro/mini tips) but not with other cables. That cable also works with several other chargers where other cables don't.
Zagg Sparq
I use this one: http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggsparq.php Right now they are giving free pair of 50 dollar headphones with it that are really nice!
I have a New Trent IMP500 and an Energizer PowertoGo. Both will only work if I use the cables and tips that were supplied with the power source. If the screen is on it says charging but the battery level seems to stay the same; if the the screen is off it charged 3% (from 83% to 86%) in 10 minutes - using the New Trent. I have not tested the Energizer yet.

The ZaggSparq is a piece of crap - it suffers from really bad battery drain. Unless you charge it weekly, it'll almost always be empty by the time you need it. I fell for the first generation, which was even worse. Then when they wouldn't replace it, I made the mistake of getting the new version - which STILL has the draining problem.
Get something better - like an Anker.
I picked up the New Trent 12000mah 2a portable power supply.
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Thunderbolt-Blackberry-IMP120D/dp/B003ZBZ64Q
It comes with 2 cables:
-a standard USB to Micro USB (or whatever they call them that come with 99% of devices including the N7)
-what they call a Galaxy Adapter which is nothing more than a 2-3 inch USB extension that you can plug any USB cable in to including an iPad cable.
When i plugged the stock N7 cable in to the power supply (2a outlet) it didn't show as charging.
When i plugged in the standard USB cable that came with the power supply, again it didn't show as charging.
When i plugged in the stock N7 cable to the "galaxy adapter" and then in to the power supply, it did show as charging. Strange that the adapter made a difference but whatever at least it works.
When i plugged in another cable with multiple tips that came with my other Anker Portable charger, that worked too. No adapter required this time.
I did a test and confirmed that with the combinations that work, it is charging at the same rate as the stock wall charger.
The Anker 8000mAh I have charges the Nexus 7 at 2A. You have to use the Anker cable though.
New trent came in before anyone else, mine has been working for a good 3 years.

I like my Sparq a lot. Had it maybe 4 months. Got it on the recommendation of several friends who have all loved theirs. And frequently they are only 50 bucks.
The only issue I have is as stated in the first post, it doesn't work in the 2.1a port. But I haven't found any of the 2.1a chargers I've tried work.
Hi,
My mom has the old original 1.0A charger for the Note 1 and its started to stamming at charging so I wanted to order her a new one.
I'm using the new 2.0A for Galaxy S3/4 on my xperia Z and it charges up quick and works great. Although the original charger is 1.5A so it might "use" to the quick high Ahmp charging..
Is the Note 1 able to suck up 2A charge just like that? I've searched up a lil and saw that it might needs a profit kernel for that..
She has an old 4.0 ROM (probably over 1 year old), that mostly doesn't support it if its needed..
If so what ROM / Kernel can you reccomend that might fits it?
Any info you got about this could help.
Also if I'm already here, could you please reccomend of a new ROM (4.1/4.2 or anything higher than 4.0 ) that is stable enough for daily use?
Thanks thanks thanks ahead!! appreciate all your answers!
Yarden.
The Note isn't able to suck 1A IIRC, only through hacks. Still, the device charges pretty fast with a standard charger, just make sure it's being detected as a AC charger and not a USB charger.
Anyone got a work around for this? any mods i can do on the actual adapter as i have the only one OEM lead.
I work for the Ambulance service so spend a great amount of time in the vehicle.
I have 2 12v adapters
both have 2.1amp and 1amp
but only one works via 1amp.
and my 10000mah battery wont even start charging my tablet on 2.1 or 1amp?
anyone got any that work?
Also got the App which controls charging etc , doesnt make a difference!

Nobody know?

Maybe consider the *official* solution?: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/car-charging-kit-for-nook-hd-and-nook-hd/26316031
It's a bit pricey but guaranteed to work.
