Sounds kinda dangerous lol

Not dangerous. It disables the data pins so the phone thinks it's plugged into a wall charger.

I just use a wall charger. Tmobile brand and I use the usb cable for the pc. So the paper mod is for the pc charging?

Yes, it puts it in fast charge. Probably depends on the USB port's voltage as to if it works, I'm using front panel port on my Mac pro at work.

Can someone make a video regarding this method? I maybe retarded or something. I get that disabling data can trick into fast charge. But why not just disable data (USB connection) in the settings? Wouldn't that be a same difference?
Please someone make a video to show and confirm this. I also know that amperage can make a difference in charging method. Will non-high voltage with this mod will enable it like the wall charger??

Its not just "disabling" data ports on the USB.. Its built into a kernel from source, there is no third party app that can enable this. If it simply disabled the "data" functionality of the USB then simply cutting the cable apart and cutting out the two prongs would enable this but it doesnt. It is kernel based stuff.
The kernel pretty much can tell whats plugged into it, AC Charger, USB Charger, Car charger.
When you enable fast charging you are only able to enable it for the last two options. Enabling simply tells the kernel that it is able to charge faster based off of how the kernel is coded. If you have source code for the kernel, you technically could tell it to charge at 1000mV (1 volt) but that would destroy whatever charger you are using for nothing can charge that fast (yet)
Simply put, fast charging is a kernel level mod that no third party app is capable of enabling without firstly the kernel supporting it.

Usb cable

Any one having problem with the supplied usb cable by samsung?
Mine is a bit loose, meaning I cant use my phone while charging it because of the usb cable connected to the phone os not that snug fit.
Any workaround to fix this issue. Opinions needed.
Thanks

Me too, many people are reporting this also.. You have to send yours back to Samsung and they'll send you a new one they're aware of this issue.. But who knows if you'll even get a good one.. Some people were shaving the top down I'll try and find a link to that thread, I'm Gunna be trying it also..

Faulty Charger/Cable?

So I have notice that charging my phone takes really long using out of box charge and cable. I had 15% when I plugged it in 3 hours ago and now that I go and get it it's just at 50% :banghead: Any ideas if this is normal or if I should contact Sprint or Samsung for a replacement?

You're probably running the stock ROM, right?
Stock ROM uses software to limit to 2A wall charger to only input 500mA to charge the battery at 5V

Note II Not Charging Properly...

I have a relative who is has note 2 that was recently rooted. We have gone through many different roms trying to resolve the issue, but to no avail. The phone can sit on the charger for over 12 hrs straights, and will not reach 100%. currently it has been charging for 8 hrs, and is only at 35%. could the wise minds of XDA assist me in coming up with a solution to this particular issue?
Likely a faulty usb cable.

The note 2 uses a stock 2amp charger. If you are using any other charger, you will have that problem. Most other chargers only output .5amps

Help charging issue!!?

I have a T-Mobile note 3 and I just bought it 2 days ago and I've noticed that the phone stops charging when I move it even slightly, and the only way to make it start charging again is to bend the cable so it is straight, again from the end, also it(the cable) seems loose and look's As if it hasn't gone in fully into the charging port, because It wiggles a lot. Please help!!?

Sounds like a hardware issue. I would take it back to the store and get it replaced.

Could it be an issue with the cable, because I charged it using a USB 2.0 charger and it worked perfectly?

Solution, just buy a new usb cable, could not be easier than that!
You can use either a usb 3.0 cable which came with
the phone or a usb 2.0 cable, it works fine either way.
Good luck!
OK thanks guys, it turns out the clip on The plug was broken, which is why it wasnt firm when I plugged it in, but I just bought a new one and that solved the problem.
