Slow charging motherboard?

So I bought my s2 from a guy off of craigslist for $275 and the phone was new. You could and can still easily tell. But when I try to charge a battery through the phone it charges really slow. Like maybe 4-5% every hour. Yeah wtf. I have two hyperion batteries and one q-cell 3650 mah extended battery. It took about 50 hours to charge that one to full. I've heard people using a toothbrush to clean the usb port, which I tried but was not sure if it was done correctly. Everything on the phone works perfect except for this charging problem. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!

If charging is the problem get an external charger and extra battery. I've never had that problem mine charges fully in 2 hrs

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.

[Q] Charging Note2 with the Note1 charger

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...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

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 ?

Same here before i damage the charger i heared the noise accidently
The note1 charger output is 5V , 1Am
Can u compare it with yours ?
Thank you btw

Yea thanks its 2Am unlike the note 1 charger which is 1Am
Maybe it will take double time to charge

If you think it wont harm your phone go for it. I cant tell I'm not an electrician or have the best knowledge in this
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

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.

ZeroLemon 2300mAh battery-HIGHEST CAPACITY SLIM BATTERY IN THE WORLD-CBA test~2400mah

Looks like ZeroLemon also have a slim battery for Galaxy S3 at rated 2300mAh. Given my experience with their 6300mAh capacity battery being more than they claim, these 2300mAh maybe more than 2300mAh :fingers-crossed: Anyone tried this yet? I'm going to jump on this for daily use and have the extended battery for weekend use if this turns out good:good:

I have the 4500mAh battery and am VERY happy with it. I am not impressed by advertising that says "Highest capacity slim profile battery". That may be so, but you can only get so much power from a slim line battery. I thought I would never go to a battery that would require changing the size of my phone by putting on a different battery cover, BUT I'm glad I did.
The 4500mHh battery has been well worth it, IMHO. Got it from Gorilla gadgets, BTW.

Looks like it doesn't support NFC. I know that's a deal breaker for some.

I wouldn't trust anyone but Samsung to build a battery that fits under our stock battery cover that provides anything more than we already get.

I read a bunch of posts that said they were coming out with one.... It has been weeks though. I wish they could make a standard fit battery that pushes 3000-3300MAH like a droid MAXX battery.

You can try the polarcell which is rated at 2400mah and has the same size like stock.

Anyone tried these and have some results

Just ordered the set myself. Is there instructions for the first use? Fully Charge at first or something?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

Yes the instructions say charge for 12 hours before use and they have a break in of 5-6 charges for full battery life. Also they have NFC enabled crossed of in black sharpie on them the charger feels a little cheap too and flickers when you have your phone on the USB port while charging one oft the batteries. How they expect us to charge them both for 12 hours is odd the one I put in my phone charged much quicker than that and leaving it on longer is pointless as when they hit full safe chargers stop charging the batteries.
Battery 1 finished in 10 hours on the charger battery 2 finished in 2 hours in phone on stock charger stock battery is in charger now.
Charger had the following colors for led
Blue- no battery powered
Pink-battery charging
Purple- battery done
Also while charging and using the USB port is possible the charger led flickers when doing so. I don't believe it has enough amps to power both unfortunately. None of the batteries got warm at all while charging.
As for NFC Samsung should have never put it in the battery to begin with I'm thinking about getting a galaxy note 2 back pulling the NFC ant out of it and putting it in my s3 as they put the contacts for wireless charging and NFC external ant in our phones.

Hows the performance of the batteries vs stock?
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

Not sure yet just got them today and they just finished charging for the first time. After I use them for a couple days I'll post here. Overall they seem just as well made as the stock battery perhaps a bit heavier but I would need a very accurate scale to find out just how many grams they are.

Battery not reading right

Recently when my phone has been dying a lot and when I go to charge it reads 48 percent after I plug it in and it charges from there. I'm not sure what the deal is or if I need a new battery or its just about that time for my phone. If anyone can help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

might have to recalibrate your battery. try this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
if that doesnt work then, reflash rom and kernal.
if that doesnt work, might need to get a new battery :/

I'm guessing new battery. I've seen similar issues before and that's what usually needed to be replaced.

You could also do two of the following which has helped me on other devices with power problems...
1. The golden contacts on your phone and battery, use a normal pencil eraser and rub slowly to clean any dirt blocking the path of electricity. This can help by allowing the battery and contacts to clearly and completely make a cycle. Remember to clean off the eraser shavings with your hand!
2. Take out the battery and hold down your phones power button for 15 seconds to power drain your device from any small charge that might reside.
If this doesn't work it more than likely means the lithium ion battery is running out of capacity..no big deal it happens. You can pick up an OEM replacement 2100MaH battery from Samsung on eBay for as little as 8$. Or a 7000MaH battery known as ZeroLemon for 40$.

Should you choose to buy a new battery, may I recommend that you get one of the monster power houses of 7000 MAH ?
