Longer Power cord

Any suggestions on this? It seems my nexus is very picky about only using the stock cord. I couldn't even get it to charge with my galaxy S2 cord. Charge icon was on but didn't charge.
Thoughts?

I use a USB 3.0 Cable extender that I got for like $3 off eBay. Charge time is the same and the cord is 6ft longer

Search and you will find a great thread on cables and chargers and what works and doesn't and why.
I picked up a couple of these when they were on discount ($9.95 at the time). LONG 6ft cables and they work great for not only the Nexus 7 but other devices as well (Raspberry Pi)...

Even at the current price of $16.31 I would not hesitate to buy one.

Thanks guys, I will try that. I hate this little cord.

I used $random cable in the house, works fine. Just make sure you use the OEM charger, unless the cable is super crap it should just work.

Im using my old charger from my blackberry curve 8300 with a mini usb to micro usb adapter on it because it was the longest charger I have. It worked to charge my original evo 4g, it charges my evo lte, and it charges my nexus 7 as well.

I paid $3.94 total. Should have been smart and ordered two (other half wants one) but I wanted to be sure it works. It's great and plenty long enough.

I've got a couple of 2mtr cables with right angle micro usb plugs, cheap as chips off eBay and they work fine.

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.

But i cant find it anywhere.

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.

Wireless Charging Dock

Found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170961366135
I am planning to buy this as its costlier to go for each one seperately and also I have no time making one of my own.
One more reason to add is that the seller is the only one who ships to India.

Be careful. It looks like this auction is only for the cover, even though the touchstone charging unit is shown in some of the pictures.
As for wireless charging: 450mA limit kills it for me.

This seems more convincing:

Is there any model which will work with a case?
specifically

1A ! it will take double the time to charge than with the 2A stock charger ! no need for it !

This is the first I've heard of a limit. Where did you read or find out about that? I've seen wireless charging units that are 1A.

If you're rooted, type the following in terminal while charging and divide that number by 10. This will give you the mah.
Code:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc

anyone test these with a case on? Does it charge?

Just got the same kit yesterday (different seller though).
Charges at +/- 500Ma which is plenty in my opinion as I tend to charge while I'm working.
Does NOT work with any case I have, even the Rearth Slim but again, not a dealbreaker for me.
.... I have to return some videotapes....

Wireless charging is inefficient. Expect about 300-700mah charging and 600-700mah is optimistic. With a case on expect charging to be on the lower end.

The stock spare battery recharger you can buy from Samsung only recharges at 450 at it seems to recharge my batteries pretty quickly.

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.

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.
