Is DeX charing your note 8 as fast as standalone AFC brick? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have noticed that when i add only the charge to DeX (the one from Note8 box) and the original cable, it does not say "Fast Charging".
Is it yours the same?

Dex does not support fast charging which is a shame

It can't because of how Quick charge works. Passing data through the data cables because you can't push data and power through the same lines. That's why PD is a better option(See Nexus 5X-Newer and Pixel). Of course marketing will always win.

So will the phone die if you're using Dex all day or does it give you enough of a charge to keep it topped up?

I think it should at least give 1.5A charging like most standard chargers do. Don't quote me though best to ask Samsung. I just know the way QC works it uses data lines for charging to get faster charging so it can't do both.

Waiting Android O, the Type C PowerManager.

The phone uses QC. By that alone Android O isn't going to do a thing. One of the requirements for PD is no modifications to the VBUS which Quick Charge needs in order to work.

Note 2 wireless charging

Does anyone have any information about a wireless charging option? I mean the s3 was supposed to have it but until now nothing and I fear for the note
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Not yet aviable an im sure it will never arrive
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Can you elaborate please? I mean the only reason I'm asking is for instance the S3 has been announced with it, so I guess the NoTe2 has the aptitude. plus as you can see on the picture there are two vacant connector pins which are quiet similar to the Nfc ones. It should be their purpose no?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
We know the S3 was announced with it, but it still isn't available in most of the world. Samsung is being very slow about it, and seeing how the S3 does not have a proper one yet, the Note 2 probably won't see one anytime this century.
I found this on eBay.

That's a Palm Pre Touchstone unit, which you can buy for about a fifth of that.
S3 thread on the subject of wireless charging. Did it to my S3, worked fine, just made the standard back bulge a bit with the induction unit was all.

Was that post above confirmation about wireless charging built into the note 2? Strongly considering one if it had the same charging posts as the s3

interesting, but will this be slower than charge with usb?

Yes the note2 has wireless charging.
You just need the unit.
Since the Note 2 uses a higher mA rate, will the currently available wireless chargers be effective? It worked on the GS3 due to a lower charging rate I assume. I saw posts where people stated they used 1A chargers from prior devices and it hardly charged their Note
2 at all.
Edit - I just realized a few minutes ago, you can use the 2A wall plug from your Note 2 right? Lol

I wish there was a way to order those Qi coils! I live in the UK and there is nowhere I can find it in Europe :=(

If the touchstone wireless charger charges at 1amp with its original palm charger, will it charge at 2amp if I connect the galaxy note ii charger to it?
Also wondering if I applied the palm coil to my note ii, will I be able to charge it wirelessly with the 2amp hp touchpad touchstone dock charger?
Mmmmm
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The touchstone will charge the note 2 from 0 to 100% in about 6 hours. Most likely a different adapter connected to the touchstone won't make any significant difference

Seems the wait is almost over
So does this confirm then that the panel on the back of the Note II is ONLY the NFC antenna not a combined NFC and induction charging panel, as some people are claiming?
I did wonder what the other two connectors were all about, now it seems clear THEY are where the induction coil will attach if you have the official kit.

Highly recommend the Samsung Spare Battery Charging System. Comes with a space battery, a charging station, AND a cord that can connect into your phone to charge directly from the outlet.

Just make sure it's a 2A charger (vs the more common 1A for most smartphones.) And yeah, the HP TouchPad charger works great Really want to get the OEM spare battery charger too...

Charging with USB cable

Hello!
Did anyone notice that after update to MK7 one can charge the watch only with the supplied charger?
I tried generic USB cable with generic USB charger and stuf ain't chargin' any more.
Perfectly fine with the supplied charger.
Any ideas what Sammy came up with this time?
I can charge just fine with a USB cable.

And me, tried 6 different ones.
They all worked.
Hmmmm.
And you have the latest firmware XXUAMK7, right?
I can charge with any. How many have you tried?
Maybe the other one you tried doesn't work? Try another?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Tried two, both work fine with the phone.
Not home now but will try them off usb port in laptop (500mA). Phone chargers ar 1A (2A for note 2 & 3). Gear's charger is only 350mA, maybe they built in damage prevention from too high currents?

Yeah, charges fine with USB port from the laptop.
For those that it works from phone chargers - it used to work as well before MK7 update. Are you sure you are on MK7??

I've noticed with some chargers...the gear will not display a charging icon, but the unit will charge. If this happens, you may power off the gear, and then you will receive a charging animation on your unsupported? charger.

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

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.

Won't detect turbo charger... very slow charge

So my phone is having issues charging. I just bought a battery replacement but part of me really believes the actual port to be the issue. Anyone know if the port is replaceable? If not, it's probably just time for a new phone.
I assume you have tried another charger and cable? Inspected and cleaned charging port?
