Do you think it is bad for the battery to not charge with the original cable?
Not at all. All it will do is charge your phone slower. I've used all sorts of chargers/cables and various phones and devices and never ran into problems.
but be careful for poor and copies of cables, since those can be dangerous and cause problems.
If I use the stock cable but another charger?
For example anker charger.

No problem. Anker is a well known manufactor, so there's no problem.

I just found this at Newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16855999185
Think it's safe to use?
Why not this one: http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=725&xSec=22
It works and is both USB Car & Home Charger
that is an interesting charger! yet, the question remain, is it safe? lol
I just bought something like that from walmart....You have to assume that if it has USB ports on it for charging then it puts out the 5v that USB is supposed to and so it "should" work. That said, I dont know for sure but I think its a good bet it wll.
Agree with the above post. Often these chargers will output approx 5V but only 500mA compared to the standard mains chrger at 1000mA.
I doubt, unless someone has one, that anyone will say for sure it is safe, if only because sometimes there can be problems with these kinds of charger where it will only charge when the device is off for example. Having said this it's very unlikely it will harm your Kaiser.

I have a car charger that is basically a USB plugging into the Cig Lighter with max output of 1000mA. When purchasing these it is always a good idea to contact the seller and verify the Max Output.
As for downside, it has the same limitations as charging from your PC USB i.e. generally they won't charge a battery under a critical (usually 10%) level or completely dead for that you need the OEM Wall Charger.
I have 4 of the wall/car chargers and have used them for at least 4 years or so on 3-4 different devices. One is from boxwave and the other three are from another vendor whose name currently escapes me. I've never had a problem with any of my devices and, at least for me, they charge well and fairly quickly.
I have numerous chargers at home all of which have charged my evo, gs2, Nexus 7, etc.
Can these be used interchangeable in the Note 2 without harming the charging process?
Thanks
As long as the Voltage is the same (5V) there is no Problem. But you should have a charger at 2 Amper for optimal charging speed.
I just tried charging mine with the normal microUSB charger I use for every other phone I have had and it took 7.5 hours to charge from 5%-62%. I used the stock charger that was in the box and it charged it in 3.5-4 hours no problem. Seems like the charger in the box charges faster.
reading this thread made me curious, my NOTE II should arrive in about a week, I can't tell for myself yet, what is the A (amps) specification mentioned on the original charger?
as i come from HTC, my current chargers go up to 1 A current. witch is the double A a standard USB port will give unless crossover'd .
thanks in advance!

in the wiki thread i found the answer, the supplied charger delivers 5 V 2 A output to the device.

2A! Same as the Tab 10.1 charger.
Filling a 3100mAh battery requires some grunt.
i think even the usb cable makes a difference..
when i use the stock usb cable with the stock charger ..my s3 would charge up comparatively faster than with the other usb cable connected to the same stock charger.:rolleyes

It certainly does! :good:
All electrical cables have some resistance. Very low (but not zero) for quality cables, sometimes quite noticeable for thin and cheap offerings.
From Ohm's Law we know that voltage drop will be proportional to current. A cable with a resistance of just half an ohm will loose about 0.5% at 50mA. That's pretty much nothing. However, at 2000mA the loss reaches 20%.
dude use any charger, just don't use LG charger **** !!!!!
You must use the 5volt 2amp charger and cable provided or a replacement with the same output or youll either be waiting for ever for it to charge or do some damage.
I tryed using my note 1 charger rated at 1amp and guess what? It took about twice as long to charge.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Some of my old 1 Amp chargers aren't happy at all, and will often decide to stop charging randomly.
I though it was something weird with my phone, but after switching chargers it never happened again.

USA official charger
This are the images of the official USA charger that will comes when they release the device in USA
And yes its a 2.0A charger, so the SIII charger isn't appropriate for NoteII.
this is the kind of charger used in Canada, USA, and Latin America, i bought this NoteII in Mexico from an authorized Samsung provider, of course factory unlocked 710usd, like 10,900mxn.
Has anyone tried a 3A charger? Just wondering if this would speed up charging even more than the standard 2A charger.

No, it won't speed it up. It's what the device takes from a charger, and not what a charger can potentially supply. If the device's charging circuit is spec'd for up to 2A current, that's what it will suck out of a charger, not more. You can connect a 30A lab power supply, and it will still be the same 2A (or less) input. To speed up the charging process, you need to mod the charging circuit of the device itself.
Am I right in assuming that I can charge the phone with any old usb charger and usb c to a cable? Would like to be able to have a spare setup plus I travel to mainland Europe quite a lot so would need a different charger there.

Yes, it would be a problem if that weren't true.
So you are saying that I can (but won't get the speed)?

It works perfectly fine with the charger of my old ASUS Nexus 7.
Charges fine plugged in to the USB on my laptop at work, just a lot slower as you would expect.

using the old oneplus one charger shouldnt be a problem then right?
whats more healthy for the battery, dash charging or charging it slowly (old/different charger + random usb-c cable)?

Charging a lithium battery slower is always better.
Do you need to use a non-dash usb-c cable to use other chargers? I tried it with the dash usb-c cable but my old Samsung charger and powerbank do not work.
in general i also think its better to load with lower speed - therefore i bought a additional loader with 2A. But i read somewhere, that the DASH charging will not heat so much. How this should be possible if this is true?

Dash charging does not heat up the phone because the needed components for high-speed charging are in the wall adapter itself.

ah okay, so for batterie its better to charge slowly - but for the smartphone itself dash charge would be better? i guess i will load my phone anyway only if really needed with dash
Hi,
I' ve a weird problem about charging. 2 days ago, i plugged the charger and saw the red light. When i woke up, the phone completely gone. I tried to charge several adaptors but none of them worked.
Then, i plugged the laptop via usb, phone starts to charging. I can charge my phone only this way.
Do you have any idea about this problem ?
I do not want to send guarantee, because i don't trust them, they always says this was a user fault vs.
At the end, if powerbank charge my phone, i will buy a one which fast charger to solve the problem.
I finally charged my phone via unnamed traveller charging adaptor. But i can not charge with original Samsung charging adaptor. Do you any idea about this ???
Same adaptor works s8, doesn't work note 8.

Sounds to me like the original Samsung charging adaptor might be broken and not anything regarding your phone.

Two different original Samsung adaptor doesn't work, but unnamed adaptor works.
I guess need to try before buying a adaptor
Same here, only charger that works is with my old Huawei. Took my phone for warranty repair but they told me the warranty was void because I root it. So frustrating with this phone

He just said he tried numerous Adapters and I would assume cables.... So It may be a charging port problem.... Or the Converse of his procedures he used different Adapters but same cable leading me to the cable being Suspect... Either way It doesn't feel like its a phone issue...
If you have tried using different cable and different Official Samsung Adaptive Fast Chargers. Then there is some wrong with your device. You would have to get it repaired however seeing as you have already rooted it. You would have to take it to a 3rd party repair specialist and let them take a look at it.

Yes, that's pretty much what I said. I don't think it's the phone either. He didn't say anything about different cables, so I'm assuming it's the same cable. I still think it's the Samsung adaptor that's the problem.
I have the same issue. my n950f only charge with powerbank or unknown wall chargers and with the notebook usb port but, the worst is that Windows dont recognize the phone, only charge it. I installed various kernels but the issue still persists.

Then you need to get another Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger as yours is broken and needs replaced. This sort thing happens quite easily with chargers as they generate allot of heat to convert the power to your device to charge it.

In that case you need to take your device to a Service Center and let them take a look at it. They will probably repair it free of charge if it is still under warranty.

You need to replace the USB charging port. Simple as that, and no wire or 3rd party sh!t is going to fix it!!
I know the x3 original cable is 3a, but I don't have that anymore.
What I use is 6a cable from oneplus phone and some 3a source that come with extension cord.
Is that alright?
Just this morning I happened to try 3 different cables (factory+2) on two different chargers (none of which the original) -- all of them caused the phone to report turbo-charging...
FYI, I'm on custom RROS 8.6.9. But I'd advise to throttle charging back to at least 90% to extend battery life, BTW.
Guys, even some cheap cable can handle over 5A, i've tested 3 different cables and all pass through, no heat, no problem
All tested with Ampere app.
i dont know why but my phone is with genuine charger and only gets to 950mah charging - amepere

What about 2m cable though? Do I need one rated for fast charging?
For me an old qualcom 2.0 charger + original cable work the best. Somewhat slower than the original charger, but the accu lasts longer.
