Hi, I've been using a note for about a month and a half now, and all has been well.
Until about two weeks ago, when my phone started charging very slowly via USB. Using a 2.1amp charger, it takes about 4-6 hours to charge, and about 7-8 hours using a 1.1amp USB charger. The less said about 0.5 amp chargers the better!
However, when I'm charging using a 1.1amp charger (Standard USB output), often when at 15 or less percent of the battery, if I still use the phone while plugged in, it actually drains power faster than the USB port can provide it! It will often shut itself down and give me a "extreme low battery" screen, meaning I can't turn it back on until it has some charge in it... which can take up to 20 minutes via the same USB port/wall adaptor
Running stock 2.3.6, unrooted.
You could have a faulty or dirty micro-usb port or a faulty battery.

I have the same problem. My Note is new and I don't think the battery is faulty
With stock ICS in comparison to GB, it consumes more juice thus takes longer time recharging.
This is normal, but sad.

Same here
I have the exactly same problem and ended up here, while searching on google if there are othere with similar observations. I can as well comfirm that during playing certain games the phone looses charger faster than it can be recharged.
Beside that my phone overally looses battery much faster than it used to be.
I found out that you can recharge the phone considerably faster when it is completely turned off.
[edit:] The problem started after the update to Android 4.0.
Now I have no way out but to root my SGN running stock ICS that allows me to do more customization.
I am using SetCPU to limit CPU clock at 1200 MHz (from 1400 max). Only certain apps really requiring CPU power, I specifically allow them to run at max MHz.
This helps reducing recharging time a lot...a lot (even much faster than charging when on GB) and allows more time in outdoor uses. And there is no lag.

I've found the total opposite, I find charging in ICS (Stock not a custom as I've not tried one) to be loads faster at charging than in Gingerbread.
What programs do you have constantly running? The more that's running, the more juice it's gonna use and therefore the slower the charging will be.
How long does it take to charge with the phone off?

Same problem with charging as well.I an using ics 4.0.3 cpw version and it draws more than it gets from the usb charger.
I also experienced slow charging before.
What I do is to close all the applications and see if that works.
Same thing happened wid me... Its Kernel fault.. Try changing kernel.. It will help
Noted by the BEAST!!
Look for runaway tasks consuming high CPU and maxing out the CPU clock rate. You can use a CPU monitor like System Panel Lite, and also simply feel the phone at the rear near the camera. If it is hot you have a problem of some process going nuts.
This is a classic problem I've faced on ICS and I've given up with it and gone back to GB. No problems since.

Just to clarify, a standard USB port on a pc/laptop can only provide 500mA not 1.1amp. Not sure where you got this value from. Therefore it will not provide anywhere near the required current, especially if you are actively using the phone. Most cheapo car chargers are also innadequate at 500mA. The standard sumsung wall charger only provides 1000mA.
What 2.1Amp charger are you using? Its not recommended to use more than the standard samsung charger outputs !
You need 1000 mA (1 A) charger for proper recharge even on GB.

1A is the standard Samsung charger.
So is it okay to force the note to use the 1 A ? standard it is set on 700mA
You can adjust the charging control with Voltage Control
I too started having this problem yesterday after updating to a recent version of Visual Voicemail Plus. Even charging from the wall outlet could barely keep up. Turns out the problem was VVMP continually polling NON-STOP for voicemail. Reverted back to older version and problem ceased immediately.
My point....your problem might be software and not hardware. I'm still on rooted and overclocked GB with franco.kernel.

data cable will charge slower via usb port.
I'm using non-data cable to charge via usb port, it's way faster. Only cons is that u won't be able to transfer any data.

I have been using HTC & Samsung wall chargers, Belkin 1A in car. All chargers provide fast recharge. However, the quality & length of USB cables are crucial.

Just to clarify things, the 2.1amp charger is a USB battery pack, and the 1.1 amp charger is a USB wall adaptor. I'm running 2.3.6 GINGERBREAD, unrooted.
There are two charging rates, slow via the USB data cable, and faster via the charger (where the D- and D+ pins of the USB are shorted). If it thinks that you are using a computer USB when you are in fact using a charger, your charging will be at the lower rate.
I had this problem of slow charging and the cause was a dirty connector, get some electronic connection cleaner from an electronics store and spray the USB connection and cables - that fixed my slow charging problem.

I'll give that a try, thanks
Hi,
I've recently bought a mini charger (keyring) for my galaxy s3. It is supposedly 5v at 1000mha.
Using "Charger Timer" I did some tests with both the stock and mini charger.
The stock charger charged at 1067mha (60.5 seconds per %).
The mini charger (after several tests with dif usb cords) only charged at 400-511mha (over 120 seconds per %).
The mini charger took 1hr 20min to get to 100% (from 17%) & the stock charger took 39 minutes (from 11%)
Can anyone recommend a cheap compact charger that actually charges at 1a?
This isvthe mini charger: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200720521235?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Its pretty popular (dx, ebay etc) so does anyone else own one?
Charger reviews in accessories have a look .

I am having a problem where charging is beyond slow when using this cable. It will charge 50% in 8 hours.
And if phone is in use it will discharge while plugged in.
When i switch back to original cable that came with my note 2 it takes 4h or so to fully charge my battery.
Anybody else have tested this or similar cable?
I no longer need it since i got my zero-lemon battery but it would be good for my wife on her S3
Is there a tested alternative someone can recommend?

Mine too, too slow. Check the current with: Galaxy Charger current, get from play store. Only 400mAH.
and,
I bought one which LED, 1 meter, it can not charge. 0mAH.
:crying:
The longer/thinner the cable the slower the charging will be. Its best to always either stick with OEM or verified manufacturers for chargers and cables
Hello, my MI 5 not even a month old is charging very slow with orginal charger that came with mi 5 box, time needed is 6 to 10h (wall charging) from 10 to 90-100percent, pc cant finde device too. The first thing i checkd is adapter and cable, by using friends orginal charger and cable and the results are the same. Its charging af 300mA max, while for my friend more tthen 1800mA. Ive tryed everything, factory reset, difrent electric sockets, checking usb connector on phone, it looks clean and normal. I never did overcharge or anything that can dmg battery.. It just stoped with fast and normal charging.. Any ideas guys...
what's your rom ?
is the phone original for sure ?
8.1.1.0 maacndi miui 8 stable, yea its orginal. Phone was working perfectly, but 2 days ago it started very slow charge from nowhere. :crying:
Coincidentally, I just saw this thread at the same time my wife reported the same issue. She's on 8.0.5.0 and didn't previously have this issue.
It seems that since she moved to 8.0.5.0 the charging is slow
NO problems here,1h20m needed to full charge with QC 3.0 charger & cable
Been enjoying this Xiaomi MI 9T Pro for the past couple of weeks until last night it suddenly stopped fast charging.
Tried different wall chargers and cables but it's still charging at normal speed and not the fast charging speed. Anyone else had this problem?
I'm from the UK so I use a three pin standard wall charging plug and then a standard USB-C cable. I was in Germany for the past 4 days, therefore using a 2 pin style plug and it was working fine there. It's only when I came back home to the UK and started using the three pin plug that I noticed it wasn't fast charging anymore.
I also noticed that last night, the overnight drain was around 17% which is definitely not normal (98% when I went to sleep and woke up around 7.5 hours later and it was 82%). So perhaps it's a battery issue with his update that recently happened? I did update it though several days ago and it was still working fine.

Maybe a silly question but you're using the charger included with the phone right?
