Hi,
Can you use the wall charger from the Galaxy Tab 7" ?
Please if you have both devices to try it.
I would like to import this new 10.1" to Europe, The Netherlands.
And I am wondering the wall charger requirements.
Thanks.
I would also be interested to know if the charging cable is compatible between the original Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Yes it works. I'm using my cable that came with my 10.1 to keep plugged into my PC and I'm currently charging my 10.1 on the cable that came with my 7. It went from 0 to 50% so far no problems. Not sure if it charges any faster/slower than the one that came with it but I'd assume they are the same.
Thanks, so I can order NL gt 7 charger for my US gt 10.1 for use here in NL.

Thanks for that. Picked up a couple of genuine Samsung chargers from Tesco in the UK for £4.97 each (reduced from something like £40!). Potential UK buyers might want to grab a spare while they can!
i think he was saying that the cable will work. The charger might not. I was trying to use my cable with other USB wall chargers but the device won't charge on them... my guess is because they are less than 2ah. I would make sure the specs on the tab 7 charger match up to the 10.1 charger to be safe
The Galaxy Tab charger I picked up today is rated at 2A so it should be OK, with any luck!
cable and charger both work. both chargers are 5v 2A. one reason why it charges slower than the xoom and tf.
on the upside it does trickle charge via standard usb. my tf won't and of course my ex xoom wouldn't.
Sweet, i'm gonna have to pick one of these up then
Wow, those chargers are expensive on amazon. Does anyone know where to get cheap ones?
Ebay is probably the best place for all things cheap, unless you're wanting a samsung branded charger
Haven't checked for the exact right one but dealextreme.com has been the best in the past for misc electronics cheap.
good to know that. like many android gadgets, once you have it, next natural thing is to put several chargers in several places.

I hate how you can't just plug it into any usb. I have usb adapters everywhere and it would be nice if I could charge it while plugged into my computer
I posted this in another thread, but with these adapters, you can charge off ANY USB port;

I've bought two, leave one at home and the other comes travelling with me.
I also use a few third party cables designed for the original Galaxy Tab and they work fine. So happy to be able to charge my 10.1v anywhere

it does, but it seems like 1% per 3 min. just plug it in and see. it's the only honeycomb tablet that i've had that actually does charge via usb (xoom, tf, and gt101). the tf doesn't, but i'm sure it would if i had usb 3.0.

Seriously, why not buy one of the adapters that I posted about and use any charger you want? I think I paid about $7 Australian for two and now I can keep using all of the USB wall and car chargers I have amassed over the years owning Win Mobile and Android phones
If your heart is really set on buying a proper wall charger, if it says it will charge a Galaxy Tab (original) or iPad, it should charge the 10.1
What is the best solution for quick charging the Galaxy Nexus in an automobile?
I have started to use 12-220 volt converter so I can use wall chargers.
I have bought a few of the low profile car usb chargers but they were never recognized as an AC charge. Come to find out, it was the USB cable. I bought a usb charging cable from Amazon last week and it goes in the USB charger and the phone does not think it is a USB charge. I have not timed it but it is recognized the same as the wall charger.

+1 .. this solution has been working great for me, as well.
I've been getting 2.1A car chargers (look for ones for the iPad), most of the ones I had prior to this were 700mA or so and they can't keep up with my 1A phones. Be careful of dual port chargers advertising 2A, they may only be 1A each and may be "optimistic" about that rating. And don't worry about getting one rated for too much current, the Galaxy Nexus won't pull more than an amp no matter what the charger rating.
Some really good solutions here and thank you all for the help.
I'd really hate to use an inventer in my car just to maintain a clean install, so that really isnt an option for me.
Was really hoping to be able to use a off the shelf car charger with the correct pins to trick the GNexus into thinking that it was charging from a USB port, but the above solution should work well with using a socket USB charger.
I've never run into a car adapter that looks like a USB port, including the VZW charger with a spare port or the cheap 2.1A chargers I got from Amazon. My guess is that a charger not built correctly and leaving the data pins open only supports ~500mA anyway. Even if that's not the case I have a moral objection toward buying a cable to fix a design flaw in another cheap product - but that's just me

I've got a charger similar to http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-Car-...ccessories&hash=item4ab18358f4#ht_1638wt_1392
All I had to do was undo the screws at the top, put a bit of solder between the middle usb pins, and my phone recognises it as a AC source rather than USB.
There has got to be a standard car charger on the market with the middle usb pins already soldiered!
I found this on Amazon which advertises itself as a rapid charging device.

Make sure the charger has the IC (rapid) chip. I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Vehicle-Adapter-micro-USB-Charger/dp/B000S5Q9CA
I've heard that Motorola one mentioned a lot as a good one.
The nice thing about having the low-profile usb plug is (a) it is low profile, (b) I can use it to charge other devices. The charge-only cable is only about $4, so I had no issues buying it to work with this to charge as an AC charge over a USB charge.

I have this one and it charges just like it does from the home outlet and its says "AC" charging. I bought another 8 for family and friends and they all love it.
I think I've figured out the disconnect, I've run into chargers that appear as a USB host which limits the charging to 500mA on previous phones I've had.
You guys are concerned about USB vs. AC charging mode. Of the chargers I've got, this one lists as AC while the rest as USB. However, the fact that the other chargers all work just fine keeping up with GPS+streaming music indicates that the USB vs. AC really has no bearing on the charge current delivered. I'd stay away from charge-only cables just because they'll get mixed in with your standard USB cables and you'll knock yourself out wondering why they don't work. On the other hand, if you really want AC in your battery info order the one I linked.
I keep it in my car... i think I've heard on other threads that USB charging doesn't keep up with GPS (for Directions). Any verify?

What's much more important is the rating on the power source. The GN can pull up to 1000mA, if your charger is only rated for 800mA (like many car chargers) it doesn't matter if it's in AC mode.

makes sense.. the one I use has dual usb (1.0 and 2.1)
You went and gave me a project for the weekend, and once again science prevails over anecdotal evidence. I took each of my 5 chargers and hooked them up to a 12V power supply that measures current. I then recorded whether the charger reported AC or USB, for the ones with USB I modified a right-angle adapter to short out the data pins, and I measured the current. The contenders:
Verizon Wireless Dual Charger
XTG Dual Port Charger
Griffen Powerjolt Dual USB Charger
Griffen Portjolt Micro
CostMad Dual USB Charger
The VZW model was USB out the external port as I had tested before, however AC out the built-in cable which I hadn't bothered to test. It pulled 0.25A @12V via the USB port and 0.59A via the cable. Hmmm... A hole develops in my previous observation. While I had used this on a long car trip with no issues, it was via the built-in cable.
The XTG was new, I hadn't used it before as it's in the car I rarely drive. It reported USB and 0.22A. With the adapter to make it report AC it pulled 0.48A.
The pattern was set. I had expected the Griffen adapters to be built more appropriately but the dual charger reported 0.22A without the adapter and 0.42A with. I had used this without losing charge in the past so this was surprising to me, but it's possible I just wasn't drawing as much current because the screen was dimmer or something.
The compact Griffen adapter (which is great for a laptop bag, BTW) pulled 0.21A and 0.47A respectively.
The cheap CostMad adapter was the only one that performed well out of the box, both reporting AC and pulled 0.57A.
In theory, a perfect adapter should pull 0.42A. Anything more is waste, anything less means it's not keeping up. I have doubts about the Griffen 2x allowing for a full amp, but the VZW and CostMad chargers are pretty lossy. What's even worse is that I'm pretty sure the VZW charger is rated for 800mA (but I can't find an actual spec on it) which would mean that it pulled the most power for the least current. Not that this really matters unless you've got an electric car.
Sorry for misleading you earlier, I should have checked the other port of the known-good VZW charger and probably doublechecked the numbers on my other "known good" charger. Still hating cables that work for charging but not for data, I ended up modifying each of the chargers to short the middle pins (except for the VZW one). If I didn't have the soldering iron for this, I probably would have gone for some of these instead.

The Motorola one will charge even when using GPS. I have a friend I bought one for that uses his GPS all day and loves the Motorola charger.

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.

The problem with all these charger is they don't use europe connections but UK/USA
Could anyone check the current rating of the supplied charger?
My Note should be arriving soon from the UK - although I could use an international plug converter, I don't really like the idea.
On the other hand I have a Belkin charger for my iPhone for 0.5A. Do you think this is enough?
Thx.
No. The original charger has an output 2 A at 5 V. And even with 2 A the Note 10.1 is only slowly charging.
The charger is rated 2A.
In addition, it uses a nonstandard method for "dumb charger" detection. If you connect an iPad charger or a standard 2A charger, it will not be detected.
The device needs to see D+ and D- shorted together AND floating at around 1.2 volts to charge. Same rules as all other Samsung tablets.

But, it's still better to use the original charger. And yes correct, with the 2A output rated, the note also slowly charge. Different from the N7000, which is quite fast to charge.

If you wish to burn your GN 10.1, yes. Otherwise, for your safety, no.
There are plenty of car chargers on eBay for the Note & Tab 10.1.
There is a brand called Pleomax, which is another brand name of Samsung accessories out of Korea.
You can also get a Samsung Note 10.1 charger (which is really the same as the Tab) for about 18.00 and plus 3.50 for shipping.

No... They are not. 5 volts output at up to 2A, not 12 volts.
Car chargers accept 12 volt INPUT, but the OUTPUT (to the Tab/Note) is 5v.
12v will fry the Tab/Note. The Note and Tab use a more standard charger detection algorithm than Asus Transformers (which actually have 12v charging...)

Thank you for this.
I have been using a 5V 2.1A charger (from Belkin) but with a "regular" old Samsung micro-usb cable and it took 6 hours to charge till full.
I can't imagine it's right.
Perhaps a new, more powerful cable?

if you use cable that support fast charge you can charge your phone less then 2 hour...just get a cable that support fast charge or support quick charge 2.0 and you will see the difference....
getting a good cable makes all the difference. I'm not sure if it is due to Lineage, firmware or the kernel... but my OPO has been very picky with the charging cable for at least the last 9 months. I first noticed this when my Jaybird Bluebuds X flat short cable charged significantly faster (then i lost the cable). then on some cables, it would say it's charging but the percentage would remain constant or even drop at a slower rate! I then tried different cables and charger combinations using the the AccuBattery app and OPO Charging Current app to note the ampere.
the xiaomi fast charging micro usb 1.2m flat cable is cheap and charges "fast". I highly recommend the xiaomi cable (i even bought like 4 of them for the office and for home).
paired with new-ish samsung quick charge chargers (which came with the S7 and C5 Pro that i had lying around), i get about 1.58A (screen off).... i also get comparable results with an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger from like 2011 and an ipad 3 charger.

well I went with blitzwolf ...I don't use my original charger as blitzwolf is faster(just a tad but still) ...BW-S5 is my main and I've ordered an BW-S9(I'll make BW-S5 a second to charge my phone in my shop and also charge clients phones/tablets if needed - I fix them too)
BW-S5 has an extended review from a dude with all the pros and cons ...great review if you want to look at it(he'll do the S9 as well but didn't receive it yet and I couldn't wait, I needed a good 2nd one)
P.S. Using custom cable made by me to avoid getting slow charges(only power cable, no data - for safety too)
I'm on this charger: http://s.aliexpress.com/qeaIfIrE and reversible micro USB cable from the same manufacturer (reversible micro usb seems to be not available to buy any longer though, I can see regular micro usb only)
Both are excellent.

Can we hear more about your custom cable?
Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger
Hi anybody who want to use a longer cable (1.8m -3m) without losing the charging speed, I would recommend Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger. You would be able to increase the charging speed up to 10-15%.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CHO...er-for-iPhone-Samsung-Xiaomi/32742790687.html
This charger can supply up to 5.5V to compensate USB cable resistance (especially when using a longer cable).

Don't forget a good quality cable as well for fast charging. Up to 1.5m 22AWG is OK, but over 1.5m get a 20-21 AWG cable. If you want to learn about cable resistance during charging the below article is helpful.

I myself use Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A with a Tronsmart 20AWG 1.8m cable. I have tested some cables: Mageek 21AWG 3m, Blitzwolf 21AWG 1.8m, Ugreen 22AWG 1.5m all of them are OK. Avoid VoxLink cables !! their "fast cable" uses fake 24-28AWG!
