Mod edit
Very unlikely that will work if doing intensive stuff on the note as the charging is made for Apple products we have a long thread discussing car chargers in the Sprint forum

This is the charger that I use. I admit that I don't charge my Note II in the car very often, but the few times I've used it, it worked well.
+1 - I use this charger and it seems to charge just as fast as my AC adapter, although I've never used the phone simultaneously as its charging. Obviously i have it plugged in to the 2A side.

Very hard to beat this charger. I have a few of them to take on trips and such, in case I forget it. Fast charging... at least double to triple what I saw trying to charge off a USB port (car or PC).
Plus you can't beat the price! Just make sure it's genuine (the one on amazon is).
Just bought one of THESE 3 days ago. Works fine here.
So do any of these actually charge at 2A? Does CurrentWidget report it as 2A?
Do they significantly increase battery life while in heavy use (using satnav with screen on)?
Thanks.

Can anyone recomend me a Nexus 7 charger? My stock charger has problems with very slow chargers, and most the time dont charge at all. At the moment i am using a old charger from a samsung phone but i find the connector very wonky where i have to wedge a bit of card next to the connector to keep it in place to charge. Also the cat has had hold of it so the wire is split down the center. Cheers.
I find the stock charger the best in the house, it's rated the highest (2A if I'm not mistaken)
Samsung cables don't fit well, they keep falling out
I got a Logitech charger with my mouse, and it seems quite high quality, but it's only 1A, and Nokia chargers should also be good, but thats only 1,2A I think.
Try a different cable first, I find it hard to believe that a charger would sometimes work, sometimes not, these things usually either work ok, or not at all.

Thanks, and yea tried a few the best one at the moment is the samsung one im using i just got to make sure i dont move the device or cable lol. The stock one only lasted a month or so. Full charge took about 15 hours where as the samsung one takes 2/3. I will brosw around on amazon and see what i can find.
Got one of these back in January, still going fine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009ZSTXIS

It must've been faulty to begin with then. If you still have warranty, take it back, you should get a new one.
Hi:
I use the Caseen six foot wall charger:

I haven't driven in years due to chronic illness and since my wife has been using the car she's gone through over a half dozen car adapters!
I've tried official Samsung car chargers (two of them), one expensive one from Bell Canada, several that you plug a separate usb cable to and maybe three others that that were simply "generic car chargers"... they simply stop working after a few months and I don't know what else to do.
I'm in Canada so we have cold winters and fairly warm summers and we've tried leaving the chargers in the car all the time (which is what I've done in the past with out problems) and her keeping them in her purse and using it when needed, but they still "die" quickly.
What charger would you recommend for durability? I don't want to spend $50 on a charger, since replacing them every few months isn't an option, but I'll consider anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-18W-3-6A-Car-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ - highly recommend.
Scosche best IMO
I have used Anker batteries and battery packs and they work well. Their car chargers though I've had issues with, as they never actually put out the output they claim to.
Now, I've used an earlier model Scosche charger from YEARS ago and it's still going strong. I recently upgraded to this one because it truly does put out 2 amps for my Note 2 so it will charge my phone WHILE I'm using it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N7NO4Q
Please keep in mind, the usb cable being used does play a HUGE part in how efficiently your phone will charge as well. I ordered the cables pictured here and they work like a champ. Yes, they are fake Samsung cables, but they work better than any other cable I've used for both data and charging.

Thanks. I will check out both recommendations.

Had the same issue for a while. This Duracell has held up well for me. It doesn't come with a cable, however.

I ended up getting the Anker charger... it comes with an 18 months warranty, so we'll see what happens. I'm sure if it was made of solid iron my wife could find a way to damage it somehow... she's also gone through a dozen AC adapters (I've never had to replace mine for any device in the last 15 years...).
Doesn't make sense. Could it be the phone or battery?

I wish. She's gone through three phones and two tablets and she always manages to break the adapters. I'm going to get her to pay for the next one. LOL ?

i got the new (circular) wireless charging station from samsung as well with s6e. i was wondering if i can use the advance fast charging that comes with the phone on the wireless charger to have it charge my phone wireless faster.
or will it damage the charger?

I don't think wireless charging will be any faster no matter what 5v USB adaptor you use as the wireless pad will only put out a set current, but I used the adaptive fast charger that came with the phone and to give you a rough idea of it's speed it topped my Edge up from 24% to 97% in about 2 hours. Quick enough for me and way faster than my old Nexus 4 on wireless charging.
While we are on this subject, would it be harmful for the phone to be wirelessly charging and plugged charging simultaneously? Would it do nothing, charge even faster, or overheat and damage the phone? I dont plan on trying it, just curious.

I would imagine that once something is plugged into the USB port (charger, OTG or whatever) wireless charging would be disabled as a safety precaution. This has been the case on other devices and I assume the same would apply in this instance.
The new wireless charger from Samsung supports AFC (adaptive fast charging) and it works with the cable and power brick that came with it. Been confirmed online a few times and I can also confirm because it charged my phone from about 5% to 100% in under 2.5 hours. That being said it's still not as fast as just plugging into the wall.

Just so everyone knows how it works you can use either the charger that comes with the phone or in the box with the wireless charger. As far as it charging faster the way it works is 50% in 30 mins when connected physically to the wall. On the wireless charging pad it goes up 20% in 30 mins. Now the good thing about it is when the devices charging port goes out you can still charge your phone and it's faster then the old pad they used to use.

This makes little sense. If it supports fast charging, it supports fast charging. If it's "not as fast as just plugging into the wall," then it doesn't support fast charging.
Fast charging will get you from 5% to full in around an hour, not 2.5; which correlates with where wireless tech is right now. Because regardless of whether or not it can support the power input from a fast charging adapter, wireless chargers currently cannot utilize "fast charge" tech. The fastest wireless Qi chargers currently are 5V/1A chargers. That's as good as it gets right now and they're nowhere near fast charge spec.
So regardless of what you may have seen "confirmed" online, the Samsung charger isn't a fast charge device.
I am using a wireless charging and I would comment like "so far so good"
I think you should also try this. !!!

The charging pad for me is a convenience factor. The fact that the fast charging gets ours phones up to 100% in 1-2hours depending on who you listen too is already fantastic. I like the idea of just walking in my door at home and placing it on the pad. Who cares if it takes a little longer that plugged in fast charging. Enjoy the ability of just placing the phone on the pad when you get home and have things to get done right away. Can't believe so much negativity for a phone just released with no development yet such as custom ROMs and kernels to make a beast of a phone, a KILLER beast. Sorry, just too much negativity for me. I have owned every Samsung Galaxy all the way up to this Edge 128GB. Yeah, you can't remove the battery. Yeah, no SD card slot. But the Internal memory is so damn fast, I am no longer in that complaint department camp. As for people moaning that their rear glass magically broke all by itself...I have a hard time believing that. I bought a Spigen NeoHybrid case that covers the back with a nice rubberized well fitting cover. The edges of the case ar metal, so you still have that wonderful tactile feeling of a solid metal phone. Best Samsung phone to date, IMHO and once ROMs and custom recoveries come along, it can only get sweeter. In the meantime, I will get off my soapbox and enjoy a phone that far exceeds my S5 and happily wait for developers to do their magic. Patience is a virtue. Sorry for my rant if it offends those that expect perfection out of the box. Yes, it's a damn expensive phone. So are IPhones. And they had issues right out of the box and their OTA fixes caused worse problems. I rest my case.
EDIT: The help so far from users here in general have been fantastic and my hat off to thos that helped me deal with softbricking my phone from either initially using a root file that didn't work for our 925 models, to showing the way to use Kies to actually restore the full stock image, and to ZiDroid to actually give us the ability to at least have a working stock recovery screen instead of the dreaded black only screen after rooting. And I enjoy using apps that require rooting so as far as warranty issues goes, I don't really care. If I can Odin, Kies, smartswitch or whatever new stuff comes along, then I'm a happy camper. Other here just need to do a little reading and search before posting rants that have fixes already out there posted. Off soapbox again
S6 wireless chargin box doesn't include cable and plug in it. I will buy a new data cable and plug for it. Should I buy adaptive fast charging cable and plug which comes with S6 or can I use S5/Note 3 charger for it? I am asking cos S6's adaptive fast charging cable and plug is more expensive than S5 charger

In Turkey, they give it free with S6 edge as a promotion without cable and plug. What kind of cable and plug does it have? Same as S6 fast charger or classic S5/Note 3 charger?

That's probably why you just got the pad since it was a promotion. I bought both of mine through samsung mobile website and they came with white ones but not adaptive fast charging. The pad cannot charge fast with it anyways.

Thanks sir. I have just ordered classic 2A charger and will plug it in wireless pad.
Hello guys,
Can you please suggest a good reliable wireless fast charger pad for my Note 5?
Thanks!
Check out @polish_pat 's thread. It's a $20 wireless charging pad from Amazon. Got one myself and it works like a charm.
One caveat, however, is that I noticed the "sweet spot" for this charger is much smaller that with others I've had. I'm not sure if this is a side-effect of the fast charging, or poor design. Regardless, it's now a staple on my desk.
Agreed^^^

Just order one of these for $10(with code) from Amazon. Looks like it has very good reviews. We will see...
The best one I have found is the Choetech fast wireless charger. Good for by the bed since the charging light dims in the dark. Also connects every time. I also have the Yootech and it gets frustrating trying to find the sweet spot.

Well they are Genuine Samsung Fast Wireless charger. They perform as well or as bad as the one that is sold for $50 with no charger. It does not overheat or at least not yet. Jajaja! I will keep you posted.
This is the one I have. http://amzn.to/1pkVbTp
It works really well, full speed too if you use it with the charger that came with your note.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015XF17VM/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this is the one i just purchased. It was a shot in the dark because it was so cheap but honest i was very impressed. It worked perfectly! I am using the stock wire and wall charger but it definitely provides wireless fast charging for only 13 bucks. It does like to be in a particular spot but who cares!?!? For the price you cant go wrong.

I have it sitting on my desk right now, and through a case it is charging via fast charge.
As long as you have it plugged into a fast charge capable adapter it will fast charge.
@shhuhs Mine works great so far. Cheap, steady and fast! I think you can contact Choetech to ask for a replacement.
I recently bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018QW09Z4/
It has a huge sweet spot, supports wireless fast charge, comes with a QC 2.0 wall adapter & cable, and only costs $19.95.
