Are there any ROMs that would allow me to toggle between quick/regular charge? I'm on Ice, which has that option, but so far it hasn't had an effect on charging speed. Your help is appreciated.

are you using stock charger and why would you say no effect? charging isnt fast or?
Why would you disable quick charge ? It`s healthier for the battery anyway.

I had no idea it's healthier. I figured the opposite was true. I'm not saying I don't believe you. It's more that I want to understand. Can you explain why it's healthier?

I wanted to say quick charge 3.0 is definitely better than quick charge 2.0 (less heat, faster charging).
Its best to not charge your phone from 0 to 100 all the time, it is said that its bad for battery.
I think you dont need to worry about this. After all, its a li-on battery, it will die sooner or later. The thing I worry about is that the battery cannot be removed without tearing up the phone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLTDFAWyyM0). The inner parts are like a sandwich, everything is tight glued together, and that is bad for the battery as well.

You misunderstand the fast charge option in ice. That is a kernel option that increases the voltage to the phone when connected to computer via USB. It has nothing to do with Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

Thank you. I'm new to a lot of this, and want to understand as much as I can. Can you give me an example of a practical application for that? Does it affect file transfer speed or something?

No. To my knowledge it only increases the amount of power the phone draws from a computer usb port for faster charging when connected to a computer.
Where in ICE?

Good sir, where in ICE is this option? I would like to mess with it. I've been all around Configurator and haven't seen it.

I've noticed since updating to JB, that the battery is draining during Navigation quicker than my 1A car charger than charge it.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Mines draining faster also.. Not good on long trip...
I've had to start turning my data connection off after getting navigation directions, or I'll be out of battery by the time I get where I'm going
If you install a Kernel that enables fast-charge, then your car charger should be able to keep up. At least it does for me.

Maybe this question has been asked for many user.. but I need more clearly solution. My Question is simple.
Which one the best method to change our #GNote2 battery?
a. Charge it whatever have a time to change
b. Change it when our #GNote2 said that we need to charge our battery
c. Always Change until it FULLY CHANGED... and never remove charger cable before battery full.
Or any the best method?
Thanks

No more battery memory right now .
Of coz you can use your phone battery to under 20% then charge it back to 100%
But it's not easy @ note2.
Everyday I have around 30-40% battery leave when I charging.

If you use your note2 as normal user.
Internet browser for 3-4 hours

What's app ,email ,or something
You can never see the battery warning after one day usage.
-> I suppose you cannot hand on your phone all day time
Thanks you for all of your answer.. now my Battery knowledge has been increased..

In his defense, I have had several phones where the charging port eventually got flaky and I also kind of worry about this slightly. This includes the note 1.

That has nothing to do with the battery and everything to do with being careless when plugging or unplugging.
OP, you may want to google or wiki the latest battery technology. Those 'tips' (b) and (c) you mentioned were good for NiMH batteries. Nowadays, we use Li ion or Li polymer batteries which do not need to be fully charged and discharged to maintain longevity.

Two things are important for prolonging your battery (lithium based) life: charging level and depth of discharge. avoid charging to 100% as much as you can, and also avoid wide discharging range.
A good strategy is to charge what you use, that is, if you use only 50% of the capacity every day, then only charge to 80% and use it down to 30%, then recharge.

Ive never heard 'avoid charging to 100%' .
I dont understand how that could be harmful.

It isn't. It's just more FUD about batteries... *sigh*
Listen people. It's -really- very simple. There are no tricks involved. Just drain your battery how you like and charge it how you like. These phones are designed for average people in mind. People who don't have a CLUE about having special discharge/recharge routines. They're designed to be charged whenever the user wants to charge, to 100% or not, as the user likes. The hardware within the charging circuit and battery itself will protect it from harm.
I am running BlueLightning-20140410-jflte as my ROM, with the 3.4.82-ChronicKermel-KK4.4-AOSP-JFLTE-v3.1 kernel.
I have my governor set to ondemand, with my low clock speed set to 189MHz and the highest at 918MHz.
With the sound set to one click past off, with Wifi, Mobile Data and GPS turned off, with the screen on the dimmest settings, my battery STILL drains when I have the phone plugged in, if I am actively using an app or playing a game.
I did not find a Fast Charge option on this ROM, and I had to uninstall Xposed Framework, because it was preventing several of my apps and games from running.
I can't think of a reason that the battery would still be draining this quickly, using the settings that I described.
Is there something I am doing wrong, or something I missed along the way somewhere?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Try a different kernel

To what are you plugged while charging? If you are plugged to a wall-outlet, make sure you are using the Samsung wall adapter (or at least one that can push 1.9A). I've found out that it isn't usually the cable that causes slow charging, but the wall adapter.
Also, download an app from the Play Store called Charging Current Lite to see what your charging rate is. While 1900mA (1.9A) is optimal, anything above 600-700mA should be enough to charge while in use. Much lower than that, you will only maintain what charge level you have or slowly drain power.

It's usually the wall adapter, but it is not the one that came with my phone. I got mine off of Craigslist, and it didn't come with a charger. I've been using the same one I used on my old LG Optimus L9. I never considered that.
Figured that plugging it directly into my computer via USB would give a weaker charge, but never thought it could be the wall charger, itself.
I'll run those tests and report back. Thanks!
try a different battery or charging port if you can

Charging via USB will put you in the range of around 480mA. Even with fast charge on, it's somewhere around 600-700mA.

A couple of weeks ago I got Cyanogenmod on my Tab, from that point the battery life has been horrible, the battery percentage goes down by the minute and it goes down when I'm using it while charging too! This is a huge problem for me because I'm always using my Tab Pro. I want to know why this happens and if I can fix it.

A few things to check.
You really do need the 2.1A charger, not a 1.5A charger, if you hope to charge while running.
Ensure under Settings - WiFi - Advanced that "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" is off.
Ensure same area "Scanning always available" is off.
CM seems to have a problem with Exchange servers, so if you're syncing to Exchange, change from push to polled.

I've noticed that when I plug my phone in to charge from a wall outlet that there is no charging icon or notification if the phone is fast charging. I remember on my s10+ that I could see if the battery is fast charging or not and I would have the option to turn on or off fast charging

not that im aware of without root anyway and im not sure if you can do it with root as i have no intention of rooting this phone. You can use adaptive charging and it will charge slower, making sure youre at 100% by the time any alarm you have set is due.
