Where to buy original charger?

I need a new charger and i would like it to be original, do you know where to find it?

Nope. And ive looked. Too many fakes anyway and low quality chargers. I use my moto, n1 and an atnt charger for my a/c chargers. And a dual port sony a/c usb charger.
...

I bought one from Amazon just last week. It matches 100%.
The picture on the amazon link shows the micro end of the usb to be off center. The cable I received is identical to the one from Samsung, down to the texture of the cable.

I bought the Galaxy S2 charger, its a normal charger without the socket + usb lead, so it allows me to keep the usb plugged into my PC while i can have the AC charger somewhere else. you can pretty much pick them up anywhere, i got a genuine one from eBay:

Here is an OEM one straight from Samsung but I doubt you will want to pay the price.

You can try to get a Sony EP850 charger.
The output is 1.5A which charges very fast. I'm satisfied with it!

I just bought this one but haven't received it yet. It looks identical, though apparently it's for the Galaxy Note. Same voltage/amperage though, so I bet its exactly the same thing.

I got it, it's exactly the same. Works great

Thanks for the answers

Any microUSB charger with output of 5V/1A will work, but you can find some charger with 5V/2.1A which will also work tablets and support future products.

Actually, I've tried one of my micro USB charger with 2A output.
GN just wont charge on this charger.
But GN charges well with my Nokia 1.2A and Sony 1.5A charger.

I have a charger with 4 usb connector at 5V/2A and it work ok.

If you are talking about strictly the usb cable itself then I'd say it doesn't matter. I use an HTC, Samsung, LG cable and they all work the same. If you are talking about the actual AC adapter make sure it's the right mA.

Could be the quality of the usb cable that you are using. Any well made cable should charge as fast as the stock one. Cheaply made ones may not. And price does not dictate what I mean by cheaply made, I have purchased some of the amazon basics cables and have been very happy with them.

No. The cables won't make a difference between one or the other.
Only the adapter matters in how fast your phone gets charged. I personally used cables that I had purchased from monoprice because the original one got bent and I don't notice any difference in charge speed.

I heard that some people have trouble with samsung usb cables not being reliable when using it for odin.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

that's a new 1...
Whered u get that info?
All (well made) USB cables are made for specific standards, all that's special is the nice rubber coating on the wires, & the plastic caps all that really makes a difference is the charger
@above again: unreliablr for odin would also be unreliable for data transfer, or any sort of communication with device, and would either signify a slow ass pc with usb 1.0, or ****ty usb cable...

Actually ****ty cable does affect charge rate. the charger itself is the key components and you might notice the difference, but when i plug it into my cars deck, the stock actually charges my phone and it gains charge even when used..however when i used a ****ty one, it would only sustain and even lose charge when used. In fact, when my phone was completely dead my stock was able to have it power on when connected, but with the **** cable i had to wait a good 5-10 mins before turning it on.
However, using the wall outlet will probably show only a small difference, but it really does matter. although using any of the brand cables moto, sammy, htc, you should be safe. Just be weary of generics. Oh and monoprice cable are good except the head... Well for me the gold plated one, the 2 little prongs that stick up... Wouldn't go up anymore so it doesn't really stick into my phone anymore.

If you look closely the PLUG has different amp ratings. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 plug is 2 amp, SGS 2 stock charger I think is 1 amp.. old blackberry chargers are 500mA or .5 amp.. its been my personal experience that higher amp chargers work more quickly. I use all Tab 10.1 chargers and see minimal difference with different cable.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app

The current rating of the adapter (the mA rating) is the maximum that adapter will output. Similarly, the current rating of your battery/device is the maximum that your device will input. So you do NOT need to match ratings; your device will only ask for as much as it can take. If you have a 50mA rated adapter but your device is capable of 100mA, it will only charge as if it were rated at 50mA because that's as much as the charger can provide. Similarly, if you have a 500mA rated charger but your device is only rated at 100mA, it will only ask for 100mA and there's no chance of frying your device or anything to that effect.

I use the I-GO, bought it at Radio Shack in I think 2004, been able to charge any phone I've had since then all you have to do is buy the little adapter for each phone, just got one for my GSII for 7 bucks after changing from an IPhone.

Some cheapo usb adapters do not charge at full power. They charge as if they are plugged into a computer (500ma)
It is because the factory forgets to short the datapins.

I did a lot of research and came up with the following. Been using it for a week now and it charges fast. I did short out the two center usb pins. This is a true 3.1 amp charger. It does not split the power to charge two devices like most 2 amp chargers do. One plug is 1 amp and the other is 2.1 amp.

Charging with External Battery Pack

I just got an Anker Astro 3E that should be able to charge our tablet up to full. The issue is that apparently Samsung devices check for Samsung approved chargers using pin voltages. This battery does not have those specific voltages so instead of charging I get a red X on my battery. Samsung Tab 10.1 users have a flashing solution from what I have read. Is there an application to disable the check or can a dev look into bypassing that?

Here's the link to the mod:

The adapters to enable charging fro many source have been available for a long time and at low cost.

I know the rated current N8000 needs to get from any adapter must be not less than 2000 mA. I don't think your charging adaptor or device offers such a feature: there are very few adaptors passing the Samsung muster. They must be specifically designed for Galaxy Tab; check yours out.
That's why a desktop PC can't charge your N8000, if you plug it to an USB port, the red X pops up right away.

Exactly. Whatever Amperage it provides, unless it is made specifically for Samsung tablet, it will not charge it without the adapter I am talking about. Links to those have been posted multiple times, do a search on eBay.

I use one of these with its own Samsung adaptor plug and it charges the tablet and gives the correct battery icon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000P13V1E

OEM charger output vs. high output car charger

IIRC the stock wall charger is rated at 1.8Ah. But, what is the phone's actual draw? Does it ever get up there near 1.8mAh?
I'm just trying to figure out if a car charger with "only 1000mA" will be sufficient. I'm guessing that the OEM wall charger is rated well above whatever the phone might ask for, but as to how much, I don't know.
I'm actually looking at these two right now as they both seem to give a pretty high output for both Android and Apple devices.

My experience with other phones is that the phone draws exactly what the stock charger gives it. I'd imagine it's the same with this one. 3140mah is a lot of battery to charge.

I'd agree. I charged it the first couple days using the OGP wall charger and USB cable from my Nexus 4. It took all night. Switched the cable with the one in the box, and it charges in like an hour!

I have a 2.1a car charger, and the OGPro charges in exactly the same amount of time as the stock wall charger.
Oddly, it charges slower from my 2a Note II charger.

Im looking at all of the chargers from Anker on Amazon. It seems they have the best positive reviews of anything I've seen. Although the 3.6 watt (white unit with either 2 usb ports or one port and a micro usb cable) unit is newer than the 3.1 (black heavy duty), the black unit can give the full 3.1 watts to either port or split it amongst the two ports. And according to Anker, either port will work for Apple or android. They suggested i get the newer (white) unit, but i want to have the full 3.1 watts available to a single port for future h higher powered devices.

I'll have to check those out. I've been looking at this one, which has good reviews on it.

My concern with that one is that it gives a total of 2.1A. So if you charge your OGP using one usb port, there's only 0.3A left for the other port. The disclaimer at the end of the description says that if you are charging an iPad to not use the second port. I'm guessing that warning would also apply too us with the high draw OGP. It also states that the blue light gets even brighter in the dark. You might need to cover the led if it's too bright,but that's a personal taste thing,and it might not actually be that intrusive. Lastly, do you have enough room in your vehicle to rest both your phone, and the head of the charging device? I have a dual outlet 12v supplier in my car, but i bought one that has no cord. The two outlets are rigidly mounted right at the end of the cigarette lighter plug.

I bought a Griffin Powerjolt single USB at Walmart. It only charges at full speed using the OGPro's stock cable. Any other cable is slower, and the cable from my old S2 gives me a "Slow Charging" notification.
Anyway, this charger is just a stop-gap. I'm going to be hard wiring two USB plugs into my truck's 12v system (with some 5v regulators and an Add-a-Circuit).

I was looking at the 3.6A charger, here's the link on amazon.
As I expected, one port is for Apple and one for Android. This is very irritating because I need to charge my OGP while my fiance charges her OG at the same time on trips.
Can our OGP charge at full speed on the Apple port?
Edit: I just read that the kernal in Android 4.2 fixes this issue so we can charge in any USB charger, including apple chargers. I'm guessing LG devices still on 4.1 won't benefit from this update.

Shouldn't going to Settings > PC Connection > USB Connection Type and then setting it to "Charge only" force the device to see any cable as a charge only cable thus making it charge faster?

As per Anker, the Apple port will charge Android at full speed. I have not verified this myself as I have not gotten mine yet, but that's what I'm told, and expect. I'm waiting for their wall charger to come back in stock as the shipping will be free if l order both.

I ordered the black 3.6v version. I'll get it Monday or Tuesday since I have Prime.
