Hi guyz
Can we keep the charger plugged in even it is fully charged?
Will this make any problem to battery?

there are no problems whatsoever with doing this.
Depends on your definition of continuously.
You need to let the battery drain at least a little once in awhile.
I had a laptop that I left plugged in with the (li-ion) battery for a long time and now the battery is useless.
yep, if you NEVER unplug it - the battery will be completely useless
if you are thinking of keeping it continuously plugged in, what i do with laptops is just to remove the battery and use it without

Works on mine.
1. Keep battery in note
2. Plug charger
3. Turn Note On (if it isn't already)
4. Remove battery
Note should stay awake
^Wow.. Really? I'll do that at work! No more killing my batt! Thanks
Edit: and fail... killed the phone. I guess it doesn't work.

Yes you can I do it every night. Sometimes I plugging in with 80% charge. I charge every night whether the phone needs it or not since I've had the Captivate I've had no issues. Sometimes I leave the phone on charge when I'm watching TV and it's next to me on the table. There is circuitry in chargers and in the phone to stop the charge when the phone is full It becomes a trickle charger after that
I leave my phone in one of a number of charging cradles when I'm home

I went camping, and the only other batteries I had were smaller. The old batteries from my Vibrant (1500mAh) fit the Note, more or less. I just wedged a cut piece of packing foam in the gap at the bottom to make sure it stayed put (I contemplated taping it there).
Using an alternate, smaller, cheaper 3.7v would save you from blowing out your OEM battery (particularly if you have an old one that already won't hold a charge).
The manual says not to keep it plugged in for more than a week. I keep it plugged in for about 20 hours a day and have had no problems in six months or so.

ok so my wife had a sprint incognito (sp?)
anyway.. since she now has an iphone... i took her car charger... while my at&t car dock is on its way...
well i ran TeleNav and Winamp on the way to work.. that was it...
and i started off with a full battery and ended up at 89% at work.... 1hr drive.. 60 miles...
so while that would yield almost 10hrs of gps/music.... phone must be charging.. (you can see the battery charge icon fill)...
so this isnt running much on this phone.. shouldnt a car charger keep up or is it that this one was meant for her phone with less power requirements so it didnt charge as fast???
Your phone is consuming more power than the charger is pushing, its a common thing under heavy use, especially if your using nav and other apps running.
thanks.. yeah i figured it was consuming more than it can charge.. so i wasnt sure if maybe the recharge rate for the older phones dont charge as much... or if no... all chargers are created equally but phone use is the difference...
All chargers are not equal most are 5volts 1amp some are alot more some alot less and some put the phone in USB mode that limits the charge

This isn't my app, but I wanted to give fellow T989 users a heads-up on it:

Apparently, our phones don't get along well with certain 3rd party chargers, and if you use one, it'll wakelock your phone until you reboot. For those of you who don't know what a wakelock is, the short version is it prevents your phone from deep sleeping, screwing your battery life.
I'd been using an old Blackberry charger with my phone, and using the linked app, tested it and discovered it was causing this problem. After switching to a different charger, I get much better battery life now.
I highly recommend anyone not using the original charger to test their charger and make sure it's not ruining your battery life.

The phone can detect when you're using ANY charger but the original Sammy charger. There are 2 switched pins on the charger that detect this. When the phone detects an incompatible charger it only chargers at 350mah. When using the normal charger it charges at a full 700mah or whatever the charger pushes to the phone.

If i was to replace just the USB cord that came with the phone with a generic one, would this cause the charger to only charge at 350mah?

Actually, I have a number of chargers that work to fast charge and work properly. Tested them with the app I linked and they come out without issue.
These include the charger that came with my Pantech Element tablet, charger from a Palm Pre, and charger from my old HTC Touch Pro 2.
They all charge at 900ma+ and don't cause wakelocks.

Sorry, but that's a flat out fib. This subject has already been fully established and spoken about. Look it up. Even TheDerekJay himself has spoken and elaborated on this with his development findings on this phone.
I also have numerous chargers. 2 700mah Sammy chargers, an HTC my touch 4g charger, iPhone 1000mah charger, and Evo 3d charger.. safe to say none of them charge nearly as fast as the Sammy chargers. Approximately 3 hours from 0% to a full charge. Around 5-6 hours with the others.

Hello
My note 2 stock charger got damaged & untill i bring a new one, can i use the note 1 charger? Or it will damage the battery some how?
I want a reasonable answer not like "yes u can"
Thanks for your cooperation
Edit : i googled for an answer but unfortunately i couldn't find any with my search keys...

I dont have a note 1 and a note 1 charger so I cant really answer.
But i advise you to compare whats written on both chargers. Volt, power all that stuff. If its the same i dont see a problem.
Maybe its not the best advice but I used to charge my LG p990 with a N97 charger and its still fine.
Theres one thing with my note 2 charger.
When I charge it theres a little noise that pisses me off its like ultrasound or something coming from the charger connected on the wall. I usually notice the noise wheb the phone is at 65%.
Charger dead ?

You can use it but it well charge slowly. So the usual 2.5 hours to charge week become 4 to 5 hours.
Both chargers are micro usb and is required for them (as a standard) to be 5 volts. So using them to charge ur GN2 is ok.
The current really doesn't matter. It only dictates how fast its gonna be charging your phone. Since the usual GN2 charger uses 2 amps, using the 1 amp GN1 charger would just make your phone charge longer. Anything above 2 amps may be harmful and untested.
I believe they made the GN2 charger 2 amps because it has to make the charging time shorter to compensate for the bigger battery.

Yup, if those numbers are true then it will take twice as long to charge a note 2 using the note 1 charger. The output voltage must be the same, otherwise bad things may happen. I remember reading somewhere the faster the charging, the quicker the battery life degrades, so the Note 1 charger may actually be better, but I have read so many contradicting articles about Li-Ion Batteries that I don't know what to believe. In any case, you can try. In theory, it's safe, and if really needs a stronger charge, it will either display a message that it needs a different charger or it simply won't charge. It won't blow up or break down, but you shouldn't leave it connected for hours either if you see it doesn't charge.

Seems like all of a sudden my battery charges abnormally slow. I turned my phone completely off and only increased 5% in 30 minutes. The battery actually drains even when plugged up when I'm using it. This never happened before. Recently, before these charging problems arose, my battery died while talking on the phone. So i switched my battery with a another battery in a verizon galaxy s3 (my mom's). And i put the dead battery in her phone. I was going out and didn't have time to charge my battery. The next day i switched the batteries back. Would this have anything to do with the charging probelms?
I have the exact same problem. Take forever to charge and drain when using it while charging. I order a new oem battery from ebay and will see how it goes.

Tried factory reset...didn't work. Couldn't try battery calibration yet since my battery has to be at 100%. I tried switching the cord, outlet and adapter and now its charging 5% in 10 minutes. Hopefully the problem has to do with one of those!
Yea try changing your cord. That seemed to have fixed my problem!
Would using 3rd party charger slow down charge or effect the battery in any way?

Using 3rd party charger shouldn't slow down your charge unless it doesn't give 1A
I switch back to oem charger and it charge faster than the 3rd party cable I been using for 1mnt. And it charge while I'm using it

For those that are experiencing slow charging, try this. Download Battery Monitor Widget from the playstore. In the settings go to calibration. There is an option for USB fast charge and it has worked on every rom I have tried.
The cable is usually the culprit, but I thought I would share this info also.
I've heard that fast charging diminishes your batteries life by half though.

Bought two extra batteries to have in reserve or if I'm on a long trip being able to switch without charging. However I have been preoccupied with other things so I haven't switched among the batteries for over a month. I have a charge dock with holder for an extra battery and do another battery is always charging in it. I realizedthat I hadn't switched for a while so I took out my battery and inserted one of the others. Unfortunately it seems completely dead, the same goes for the one sitting in the charge dock. Is there anything I can do to revive those batteries? Or do I just have to eat crow? If nothing else, let this be a cautionary tale.

I have it a new try, removed the battery, inserted a depleted and charged it directly in the phone bypassing the dock. First it showed a yellow warning triangle which worried me but I let it stay. Lo and behold the next morning the battery was charged to 100%. Wonder why it works directly but not in the dock? Strange, anyway thank you for your suggestion.

I cannot tell you why exactly it worked out for you but generally phones have more or less sophisticated circuits to charge batteries and avoid overcharge. Maybe the circuits in your dock are not optimal and thus it did not recognize the empty battery. I'm glad you could solve your problem.
