Ok... So I am confused as to what HDMI adapter to get. I just want the thing to charge while plugged into the TV.
Is MHL have to be supported by the TV too? I don't care if I have to use another cable to charge. I got this one, HDMI works but doesn't charge. Shows a red x on the battery icon.

Can anyone confirm that this one does indeed charge?

Hello mate. Cannot confirm that specific one but I can confirm the genuine samsung MHL 2.0 does charge as I have this one. Can be found here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Sam...&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+mhl+2.0+hdtv+adapter
Thanks. But damn. .. it is $65 shipped in the US.

From what I read, the red X on the battery icon means it is getting a charge but not at full speed.
I got the same with a powered USB hub. So whether you charge up or remain at what you at, depends a bit on how much you need, and how much trickles in.
Whether it's good for a battery the get a small charge and remain level or even loose charge is an other matter.

Well, I bought a MHL adapter by Samsung, and while the tablet seems to confirm that the adapter works, I never got to duplicate the screen at my TV... I have no idea what's the problem...
Buy an HDMI MHL adapater and make sure it's one that comes with the usb wall charger and is 3 wires running all into one unit. Should charge without a problem. You don't have to buy expensive ones just make sure any cheap solutions are at least decent material.
How many pins does the note have, 5 or 11?

Anyone use a Powermat to charge their phone? it looks like the usb attachment doesn't make it register like it's charging?
I have the same problem with USB charging. Neither my PC nor my Macbook Pro will charge the phone. It says charging, but the battery continues to drain. I noticed on my mac the USB port is only providing 500mA. The plug-in charger that came with the phone says 1.0 amp (1000ma).
I have a powermat too, but you need a special back cover on the phone to get it to charge this way, even that's even going to be an option on this phone.
having an issue with some of my car chargers too, some work some don't.

I initially had problems when using the power cube as well. This was a little surprising since its output was 1A which was the same as chargers which worked well. I decided to try using a different mini to micro usb adapter than the one which comes with the power cube. Once I switched adapters, the powermat worked perfectly.
Any particular model?

You would ask that. I found the packaging and it's an Adapti. It's just a cheap adapter that I bought from the local Fred Meyer (a department store chain in the Pacific Northwest) about a year and a half ago. It also came a mini-usb to iPhone adapter.
Hopefully this helps. You should be able to find an adapter that works.

What is the AC mode you are speaking of?
I don't recall the exact part number, but its the oem HTC kit I got for my One S prior to trading it in. Nothing fancy, but high quality and power, and the S3 doesn't seem to be picky.

How do you stop the deck from trying to index the whole phone? That is the problem I've had when trying that in the past. Is their a setting somewhere, or a cable mod that allows charging but no data?
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.

I was using some cheap usb charger but it was going loose all the time so I purchased Scosche Powerfuze.
It is a bit expensive but top notch product.

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 use the motorola charger. I had heard good things so I bought one and it seems to work just fine.

When I plug my phone in its charge only. Only when I go to "USB mode" dose it index the phone.

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.

So no matter where I look, I cannot find good chargers for my GN2. Here I was thinking that I'd be able to use my 10+ white brick crapple charging blocks at 1A and here my awesome GN2 uses a 2A.
Now I understand that Apple swayed away from yet another standard and the pins need to be shorted in almost all car chargers in order for anything other than an apple device to accept an AC charge. Awesome.
I'm very happy that this huge battery needs a 2A charger but I'm back at square one. I need chargers... I need a lot. Please somebody point me in the right direction on what every android peep is doing to charge their phones on fast chargers... I am mostly in need of a car charger. Every forum I look at, the thread ends with no definitive answer...
Much thanks.

This is the charger that I use for my car charging needs. Ive had it for a couple if years and it has worked flawlessly. It also has an extra usb port for charging a 2nd device. I havent had any quality issues with mine like some of the reviewers have claimed. This works brilliantly with my Note 2. It can output up to 4 amps and charges 2 Note 2's with max screen brightness and GPS with no problem.

Thanks ysposjihg. Gfymusbad.
I was looking for a charging stand so I can watch my Slingbox while my Note charges and found the Myrin Sync & Charge Dock on Ebay. It folds for portability and can be used either to charge or just support the Note. Because it has no sides, it can work with any Sammy Tab that has the 30 pin connector (nice as I have 3 around the house) and I don't have to remove the case to charge.
Nice find.
Good Stand
Very nice, looking for similiar stand kits with charging port :victory:
Hi couple of question does it has its own charging adapter or we use the stock samsung one
Also the case you have looks cool how much did you get that for
The eBay item says USB cable included, but I doubt you get the charger.
I think this original accessory should also do the trick:

Thanks, but that one has been discussed at length in other threads here. The OP's contribution is a link to a dock that has not previously been seen or discussed. :good:
It comes with a USB cable but not the charging block. You could use your original cable as well it just slots into the base as shown in the photo.
The case is from deal extreme for $15. It's Pleather and has the 3 viewing angles.
Instead of the charging cable would you be able to get a HDMI adapter in there

The HDMI adapter is, for some reason best known to Samsung, far thicker than the charging cable, so I'd sadly guess not.

I want to purchase a 6 or 9 foot cable for my note 8. Will any kind of cable be OK? I will be using the samsung wall plug with it. Thanks for your help!!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The only thing I can suggest is that you try it. But normally long USB cables do not have a happy ending. I have some short cables that will not charge the note.
You may want to get the thickest cable you can find and hope the thickness is in the copper and not cheap cladding.
I am using a 10ft cord from kindle. Works great. Got it at walmart
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app
I think the cable is good up to 2 meters (6 feet), any cable longer than that will result very slow charging or even does not charge at all.
The kindle one has no issues charging the note8. I was worried as l have heard nothing over 6ft but this one works just fine.
