I tried 3 cables and two charging blocks and it charges slow. I downloaded a battery monitor app and it says it's charging via USB port even though its connected to the wall outlet. What can I do to fix this? it just barely started.

My stock wall charger slowed down significantly after about 4 months of use. Now it only puts out about 400-500ma tops. It used to put out roughly 1700ma when new.
I have an old HTC mt4gs charger that is rated for 1 amp. It consistently puts out 1200-1350ma when charging the phone from below about 50%. I prefer that charger for most of my charging in a hurry.

Have the same problem and cant figure out. My solution is im using neak kernel which allows you to increase charging current which actually helped. It charges a lot faster. Is it taking you about six hours to fully charge?

The usb port is on its own pcb and only 8 bucks to order. My s2 said it was charging when it wasn't, unless I held the wire at extreme angles. It had pins loose

sorry for some reason i can't use the quick reply.
i have found my issue of slow charging to be resolved by using a shorter usb cable. i was using the stock one and it seemed to slow down a lot after a few months. i tried the usb cord my wife uses, which is like 6ft long and it seemed to not charge at all. i then bought a short, 1ft monster usb cable and it charges so much faster. even faster than the stock usb cable
and rednewor
I've noticed that the shorter cables tend to wear out less rapidly as well. Wonder if it has something to do with there being less...well, cable...to get worn down from movement or whatnot. We used to go through our charging cables relatively rapidly, in just a few months, until we moved to short ones.
My last string longcord, though, hasn't been moved from its home since the first time it was plugged in, and is going on about 5 months without hassle.

I didn't charge last night and so I plugged mine in at work today with only 8% battery left. I checked it later and was down to 5%, my old Evo 3d charger didn't seem to do anything to it. I powered down, unplugged everything, removed battery and then reconnected and it finally started charging. It charges very slow at 1amp but it's charging now at least.

+1 to this! I was having the same problem until I realized that the charger that comes with the phone is 2amp. As long as I charge with that or my touchpad charger, I am good to go.

I noticed that the port may be a little deeper than some cables allow for. I haven't had a chance to verify this, but you may want to check the cable you're using for a good fit.

The real problem is in the charger itself. I tried using an HTC charger and it was a no go. The stock charger is a 2 AMP version and that is the way to go. It actually charges quite quickly on the appropriate charger.

I've used Blackberry, HTC, Motorola chargers... all worked for me.
I've had my phone for about a week and I am also experiencing issues with the charger port. It happens randomly. I would connect the charger and it wouldn't charge but if I try again moments later, it will charge. I also experienced it go from charging to not charging, repeatedly. (My charger works fine, I tested it with other devices)

Mine does the same thing. But I use a desktop dock. If I use just the oem charger and cord it charges fast though.
Adding on a usb extension or using a different usb cord slows it down though.

The computer didn't make a difference, but I took charger out of surge protector and plug directly into wall and it's charging like my stock that charges fine with the surge protector. Can't figure out why stock charges fine with surge protector and jedi x11 rom doesn't. Either way I found my solution.

Its because the dock charger is maybe 800ma output. The wall charger is 2amp charger. The wall charger is best for quick charge. It takes about 1-2 hours with perseus kernel.

Omg I have the same problem.
I tried charging my Note 2 last night before going to bed. Phone @ 60%. Woke up 7-8 hours later and it was @ 97%. I used an extension USB 3.0 cable (10-15ft) after the AC adapter then hooked up a BlackBerry USB to MicroUSB.
I thought something was wrong w/ my Rom since I plugged it into the wall to charge, and if I do anything w/ screen on, it would end up draining even though plugged in.
I plugged the phone to my comp, which uses the stock Note 2 USB cable, and it charges fairly fast.
My problem is I used to have a Galaxy S3 and Nexus S before that, and it never had this slow charging issue with the same AC adapter + extension + usb-microusb setup.
Im having the same problem .... I would put my phone to charge around 9pm with 20-30 percent and I would wake up at 6am and my phone would be at 80-90 percent charging ...

I installed some monitoring widgets that monitor input charge. I think something is seriously wrong with roms. The input rate is 1600-1800. However it is still taking forever to charge via stock oem wall adapter + cable. I have to reboot to have it charge normally. Not sure what's causing it. Will charge fine, but then after a day or so of use, it ends up charging super slow regardless of where I charge.
Just had my phone charge from 87%-93% in 30-40 minutes.
My Galaxy S3 charged almost twice as fast.

I use Battery Monitor Widget Pro. Also Elixir E2 widgets for tiles that show the charge rates.
Mine charges from like 10% to 100% in like three hours. Running JediM13.
Try cleaning your battery contacts and the contacts for the phone. Might help. Maybe your outlet output is lower? If you can, try cleaning the microUSB port. I usually try to clean my contacts regularly.
I don't know much- just throwing out random ideas
those with slow charge, should try getting a new usb cord. even if your phone is charging doesn't necessarily mean your micro usb cable is 100% working. everytime i start experiencing slow charge i buy a new one and charge time goes back to normal. i've gone through 4 oem samsung micro usb cables since my s2 days.
So i had my phone for a while and just noticed this. When my battery gets real low I plug it in to the wall charger. It seems that if I continue to use it while charging, the charger cannot keep up with the use and it eventually dies and shuts off. Is this normal? Any fixes? Thanks.

I can confirm. The USB cable they ship with the phone is garbage. I swapped out JUST the USB wire for a better quality one, with sturdier plastic insulation and I get fast charging consistently EVERY time.

It is garbage and for the amount of money we pay for the phone it really shouldn't be garbage like this.. This is Samsung cutting corners!
my car charger (after market) sometimes takes a few plugs when its really hot or really cold in the car for it to switch from cable charging to fast charging. all depends on the cable. the brick either is or isnt fast charge capable
