Better 1.0AMP Rapid Charger recommendations

Has anyone had any success with after market rapid charging solutions? I see the OEM model number of the charger that came with the phone is ETA0U61JBEGSTA.
Has anyone found a generic equivalent for this charger? The last 2 amazon ones I bought were really slow charging & took over 4hrs to fully charge.

I use the monoprice 2.1 amp charger it works great. It may damage your battery but to me it doesn't matter I'll buy a new battery in a year for $15 if I have too.

It has 4 ports 2 of them are 2.1amp and the others are 500mah I believe so I can plug in my ipod as well
Also bought their 2.1 amp car charger

Got it for $6.50 from Planet Mobile and fulfilled by Amazon. Looks and works perfectly.

6.50? very cheap

After seeing this article http://www.androidcentral.com/acces...mium-charger-rapid-charges-android-phones-too last year, I picked up a couple for $10ea. from an online source that was going out of business. They are available for ~$15 today. This is the only thing BB offers that rocks.
For an inexpensive but quality solution, try Monoprice.
Edit: If I forget to plug in at night, in the time it takes me to get ready to leave for work, I am at 90% or better.

Just FYI, for those commenting about using chargers higher than 1A (1000 mAh), the stock kernel will only allow 1A of current to reach the battery regardless if the charger is of a higher capacity. However there are custom kernels (such as Perseus) that allow this value to be overridden, so that the battery can be charged with more than 1000 mAh of current. It is recommended to not charge the battery with a value higher than 0.7 of the battery's total capacity. For the stock 2100 mAh battery, you will want to set the charging value to 1470 mAh or less.

It wont damage your device. If you havent altered stock parameters than it wont draw more power than 1 amp

I seem to remember seeing there was a cable mod to make the S3 charge faster? actually pull in more juice quicker? As I recall you had to modify the USB cable with a resistor in the right place?
I have plugged my S3 in a 2.1amp charger and I don't see it charging any faster than the 1.0amp charger. My wife's iPhone 4S however charges MUCH faster on the 2.1amp charger vs the 1.0amp charger
I'd like to figure out a way to make the S3 charger more quickly using a 2.1amp (or 1.0amp) charger if that's possible.... but I didn't book mark the thread when I saw it and can't find it again

Solar charger for Samsung Galaxy Note-II

I'm looking for portable (camping/hiking type) solar charger for Samsung Note 2 (T-Mobile version). Just bought GOAL ZERO Nomad 7+ Guide-I/O Plus (which is AA/AAA battery bank. When I plugged in my Note into the solar panel instead of charging it was draining battery, so after 2 hour I wen from 35% down to 19%. I did testing on the battery bank (from USB to micro-USB on the phone and it works fine). So my question is:
1) is it possible that the panel is defective or Note2 is simply so incompatybile with the whole world ?
2) is there any other nice solar kit that would work and at the same time is small and light enough.
This is also possible because Note-2 (as well as Galaxy-3) uses 11 pin instead 5-pin USB pinout...
Eventually I would like to charge also my Samsung SLATE-7. I plugged it to the panel through the lighter outlet (as I have an extra charger that takes the power from the lighter then converts it to the higher voltage/amps - I believe is is around 19-20V). The only problem is that (as I herd) charging this way would be pretty slow. I have spent several hours last two days trying to find something that would work but after my several bad experiences with Samsung I have to be 100% sure when I order something on line. In this case I was lucky as I bought Nomad-7 at REI store so I can easily return it. I've seen several nice chargers on line today but at this moment I cannot be sure that anyone of them would work.
Any advice appreciated.

The note 2 requires at least a 1 amp output JUST to run while you're using the device (ie screen on)... It will charge slowly at 1 amp with the screen off and the phone not in use.
1.5 amps is recommended minimum to charge while you're actually using the device...
2 amps is the stock wall charger...
USB 2.0 output is only 500mA... Which is enough to trickle charge the note 2 while not in use.
So basically... look for a Solar charger that has at least 5v 1amp (if not 2amps) USB output. That should charge it. Or it my opinion? Invest in a 11,000mah + External usb battery and separate Solar panel kit. Most solar kits come with dinky 4000mah or less battery packs which is barely enough to charge your phone once. (if that)

Slow charging + some confusion about charging

My htc one x charger took 4-5 hours for fully charge ( its so so slow. i m a sammy user from long time. sammy phone normally tooks 2 to 2.5 hours for fully recharge battery).i feel it is even slowr then computer USB charging
Now the second part of the story. i also have Note 2 charger. when i charge my htc one x from my note 2 charger then hox tooks only 2 to 2.5 hours for full charge. i think this awkward situation is because of difference specs of chargers.
HTC Charger specs -
Model - E250
input : 100-240v ~ 200mA 50-60Hz
output - 5V 1A
made in china ( its printed on charger )
Note 2 charger specs
Model -nETA-U90IWE
Input : 150-300VAC 50-60Hz 0.35A
Output : 5.0V - 2.0A
made in china ( its printed on charger )
P.S. - i bought used (2nd hand) htc one x. Charger has HTC logo on it. So i don't know the seller gave me original htc one x charger or just any other HTC phone charger. So Can any one please match the specs of my htc one x charger with theirs. thanks
Sorry for my bad English. i hope you understand it.

Mine says made in china too. I boutgh an hox first hand but think its second hand because this came with the bootloader u locked and with w custom rom.
Anyway. Mine takes 2.5 hours for full charge while off. With the phone on it takes less time.
My charger specs:
Model TC B270
Input 100-240v 200ma 50-60hz
Output 5v

hey
I haven't chked the timing yet but the current widget shows 1000 ma while charging my note 1 nd hox shows around 650~700.also noticed that if u drain ur phone charging takes way more nd messes the batt percentage , so my advice is always reconnect when batt is under 5%
another diff I noticed is that note shows 0 ma if disconnected nd 3.6~4.18 volt usage but hox shows around 165~350 v,I was under the impression ma only shows charging
recent hox user,both on stock jb

Basic Lesson is USB power status (valid for USB 2.0)
Normal USB power will give up to 120mA at 5v to any device (HOX 1800hmA battery at 120mhA... thats 15 hours from 0%, not cool)
Now most devices that depend on USB for charging can negotiate high power mode post handshake and receive up to 550mhA at 5 volt from a PC usb port (can be capped on laptops and HTPC´s), note that this is per HUB, not per port, meaning that if you have your HOX hooked up to a PC and you have another high power device like a wifi adapter or a portable hard drive, charging will be a lot slower, that is why when using computer USB ports i recommend buying a external USB hub with a separate power supply, most PC´s have 2-3 wired USB ports which are hubbed internally and another 1-2 ports which can be activated connecting an external header.
As for usb chargers, most devices wont charge above 550mhA (3.5 hours to charge the hox from 0%) but i´ve seen devices go up to 750-800mA, i would usually recommend getting a good one, you can get a decent one off deal extreme for like 2-3 bucks, but investing in a good charger thats able to give 700-1000mA per port and also gives you peace of mind that it wont fry your devices if there's a spike is a good long term investment,
Personaly ? we had 2-3 galaxy S devices at home and i still use the charger for my HOX, 2-3 hours and its charged, and it seems they cost like 5 bucks on amazon.

buying new sgn charger

Recently, my sgn n7000 charger(1yr old) got damaged.
I am looking to buy new charger of same model, but after searching a lot, i coudnt find a new genuine charger online, most of them are boxed and loosely packed.
i got some gud deal for a charger but its 700ma, it will take a lot of time to charge..
While searching, i got at these product
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Buy-Online-S...?pt=IN_Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3384a4ebb8
but on the samsung website, the note n7000 is not in the compatible list.
i wanna know, will it charge my note properly or not. Will i t damage my battery..!
or else pls give some link whr i can get genuine charger.

The charger looks like an indian version of the one my daughter received with her galaxy s4. White is the colour of her phone and the colour of her charger, it also was 5v at 2A. To my knowledge the charging of the battery within the phone is controlled by the phone and as long as it is supplied with its minimum requirement of 5v. it will charge at whatever current it can within the control of the power management in the phone.
Hope this helps ? I did look at the samsung website in india and they had power units for sale. I dont know where you are ?

Samsung India has 700ma chargers listed..
And do u charge ur note with that one..? Us thr any problem.?

charger
No mine is a 5v 1A samsung charger. I also have an incar charger which is a standard usb charger for any make of phone and that supplies 5v at 1A. I also have a Yiboyaun unit from china which charges just the battery, I have 3 additional batteries I use and charge with this unit from china. I have had this setup for more than a year with no problems.

You can charge N700x with the Note 2 charger (which puts out max 2A). It charges slightly faster than the original Sammy 1A charger/cable. It's perfectly safe because the phone will not take in more current than it's configured.

If it charges faster than 1A its not limiting the input. The note 1 battery is made for 1A chargers. Using 2A will limit the life span of the battery.

Wall charger

Hi !
Yesterday i've bought Anker 7200 mah for Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm really happy with it. After the first battery charging i've realised i need one good and secure wall charger. I've tried to charge it with friend of mine stock S3 charger (1A) but its kind of pain. It tooks about 7hours 30min to charge it from 0 -100%. So i need one good wall charger. I was thinking to buy stock S3 or S4 charger because the kernel gives me the option to choose charging current. But the stock charger costs a lot - about 10-15 GBP. Then i was thinking to buy Family Sized Anker 40W , 5-port charger which have PowerIQ technology and automatically identify each connected device and gives it the fastest charging current. The maximum for one port it 2,4A. It cost 20 GBP now. (there is some kind of discount). I won't use 5 of the ports because it will be personal. But it is almost the price of the stock one.....
Can you give me some good ideas for good chargers?
Yours,
Ignatov

How about a universal charger? Maybe this would help you.
