charging note3

I usually have my note3 plugged into normal usb port on my notebook as i work to recharge it just using a normal micro usb cable.. i noticed that re-charges usually take forever and even after 2-3 hours of charging it only goes up only about 10%... is this normal ? my previous phone iphone 2-3 hours on a charger its fully charged.
is there anything i can do to speed up the re-charging like asus ai charger ? or anything else ?

Usb 2.0 is limited to ~ 500ma, the phone will pull 1.2a- 1.5a on the Samsung charger

The ASUS AI charger is for 3.0 only I believe, and your Note isn't compatible with that. I purchased one of the RCA plugs from Lowes that has 4 USB ports on it and has an output of 4.1 or 4.2 amps and using the 3.0 cable that came with the phone it charges it very fast.

Here's what I use guys. I used it on my Note 2, my brother's S3, my Note 3, and also my LG G Pad 8.3. It has about 1.8-1.9A charging capability and charges a little faster oddly enough than the 2.0A stock plug when plugged into the wall. Yes, it's a wall charger, so that's obviously the best way to charge. It's cheap and very convenient; the cable is actually quite long, which is much nicer so you have more room to move around when charging. You won't be disappointed. I don't advertise garbage products. I always look for the best quality things and share my results and opinions to help others. Before my Note 3, I had rooted my Note 2 and had Perseus kernel; I increased the charging values so I could utilize faster charging, and this charger was the best for that. I highly recommend it. I've had it for about almost 11 months. It has never given me any issues, and it has great reviews.

So what is the max that note3 will take?

super charging

has anyone noticed that the note 4 charges in about 1 hr to 1.5 hours max to fully charged? i have or is something up for it charging so fast?

Standard feature on the Note 4. If u look ad the adapter it's putting out 9 volts.

do you think we will see problems in future with batteries needing to be replaced sooner because of this fast charging

I turned off my fast charging option.

Yean I appreciate the superb fast charging. Is it bad to use my older note3 chargers as spares on the go?

It's not bad at all, you can still use any cell phone charger to charge the Note 4
just like we have done when we had the Note 3.
The thing I am wondering about is if can safely use the new Note 4 wall charger
to charge other peripherals like mice, keyboards, wireless headsets and so on.
I used to use the samsung S3, S4 and note 3's wall charger to charge lot's of things.

The batteries are chipped. Phones are chipped. And even the adapter has a chip. You can use your note 4 charger to charge any device. It just won't give the full output as other devices will tell it not to. etc.etc.

Charging adapter not working?

I tried charging by new phone with the included adapter and it did not, I tried a few outlets.
I took the USB and plugged it in an old adapter from my S7 edge and it started charging ,
Any one else with this problem ?

Ditto.

No problem here. Works perfectly. Even used my note 4 charger and it works, also used the micro to usb type c connector with note 4 charger and it also works. Call your provider so they can send a new one right away, try using your other charger for now. Good luck bro

No problem w/the one that came w/the phone,but,I did receive a Samsung QI Fast Charge stand to where the included wall adapter (apparently the exact same one included w/the Note 7) did not work,out-of-the-box,w/the wireless charging dock (indicator light illuminates for a moment,that's it),BUT,it works just fine when plugged-in with the cord to the Note 7.
Very strange,but true.
All of my other wall adapters,Samsung & otherwise,power up the charging base (Only the Samsung Quick charge adapters enable the wireless fast charge).
So,anything is possible.
There is no such thing as zero defects 100% of the time & unfortunately,you're one of the few that got a bad apple....
It's still under warranty & within the return/exchange window,take advantage of it yesterday...........................

I did have similar issues with small adapter. While using phone connected with my car Android Auto phone would not charge but slowly lose charge. While using original Cable it would charge at 10-15% in about 30 minutes drive.

Hmmm. No problrm with mines.
I order some on ebay (2x for about $3) they both work just fine same as the offical one that was included.
*edit
Well ran into a problem.
I try to use my new car chager and the usb adapter. The phone glitch
While it said it was charging it also said it was giving power out.

Note 4 vs Note8 Charger

Hey all.
Just wanted to ask a question. I lost my Note 8 charger, the output seems to be identical on Note 4 and Note8 chargers.
Is there an issue if I use Note 4 charger to charge my Note8 ?
Regards!

Nope. It will just charge slower.

Wasn't the Note 4 fast charging as well? If output is the same, why would it be slower?
OP, you will need to use the appropriate adapter included with your note 8 to plug the older charger into the new usb-c plug on the Note 8.

I'm using my note 4 charger with my note 8 and no issues. It takes about 1 hrs and a half to charge full (I have the fast charge turned off ).
Only reason for the note 4 charger because I bought the note 8 international version and I can't use the power brick here. And yes the voltage is the same on both chargers.

note 4 was the first iteration of quick charge.
We aren't on the first iteration anymore

You can always use a standard travel adapter with the original power plug too if you ever need it.

Am i missing something ? Bothe Note 4 and Note8 support Quick Charge 2.0. The specs of the charger are exactly the same , so I guess the chargers are identical !

Because Samsung scared, even the battery capacity has been reduced...

I plugged a usb 2 to C adapter onto my old Note 5 charger (rather the one that came with the original Fast Charge wireless puck charger) and with this my Note 8 will not fast charge.
The wireless fast charging works on the old puck though.

No FAST CHARGE with Note 9?

I got the Note 8 a few weeks ago and realized the Note 9 would be released to Sprint, yesterday. So, I returned the 8 and pre-ordered the Note 9. I'm still setting it up. but I noticed that it's not fast-charging. That was a selling point that I read . The Note 8 fast charged with the cord but not wirelessly ( I bought a Samsung Fast Charge Qi charger, just for this). The Note 9 is supposed to fast-charge both with the cord and wirelessly. I have searched for the setting and cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions or input??
Thank you!

Check your accessory setting to make sure it's turned on. My fast wirelessly charges.

AFAIK Fast charging is on by default.

I Don't see a fast wireless option on my note 9. Just an option for fast cable charging. Personally, I always turned both off on my note 8.

Not always. My Note8 had it off out of the box for some reason. My Note9 didn't have the option until I put it on a wireless charger and when I did it was off too.

That's what I'm running into. There is no Accessories or Accessory setting group in the Settings menu. The S-Pen is under "Advanced Features" . I even did a search for the words "fast" and "charge" in the settings search box...Nothing useful.
I also put it on my wireless charger and it showed charging at normal rate.
There's a Samsung software update, already. I have not installed it. I'm always leery until I read that people are getting good results with it. Are the Accessory settings are in the update?

Wireless fast charge won't show up until you put it on a wireless fast charger. Then you will see the setting. Despite you not being able to find it, this phone fast charges both wired and wireless.

If your not seeing a toggle for fast wireless charging under accessories than it's not seeing that as a fast charger. Make sure the charger is connected to a USB wall plug that also supports fast charging and make sure you are using the original USB cable or at least a name brand one. Both the note 8 and note 9 support fast wireless and USB charging

Where did you get your fast charger from. It may be a knock off and why it doesn't work like it should.

Just a little update: I did find the "fast wired charging" setting in the advanced settings for the battery (I got there through Device Maintenance). It was turned on and only works with the charging block that came with the phone. Nothing on fast wireless charging, though. I never stated, mine is SM-N906USQU1ARG6 Hardware Version REV1.1

Best Buy - My hubs, paid a lot more for it than I would have for one. I don't think it is a knock off.

Okay. I read in a few articles that stated the Note 8 did not support fast wireless charging.
THAT'S IT!!! My wireless charger, for some reason doesn't have an adaptive wall plug. I used the plug that came with my phone and plugged it into the wireless charger, put my phone on it and as my little girl would say, TA DAAAA! It works perfectly!
Thank you!

The Note 8 most deffinlty did support fast wireless charging I owned 2

Leeco sorry I didn't get you. You didn't mentioned that the fast wireless charging option appeared or not? Mine also not showing the fast wireless charging option only fast cable charging. Does it means first I have to connect a wireless charger and place my phone to get this setting or Indian models don't have this option at all. Pls reply soon.
