here is my setup in the car and i can't get the note to charge - well, it does say its charging but at best it will maintain my charge level it never actually charges
dedicated charger into my fuse box
note hooked up with mhl to my pioneer appradio 2
gps running, mhl running, bluetooth running. i use a screen off app to totally black out the screen.
now, this setup with my gs3 worked perfectly it would charge the gs3 like crazy as fast as a wall charger it seemed. with the note it will never increase in charge but at best maintain or slowly use charge. the power it is getting cannot keep up with all the tasks its doing.
now, i know this phone is a beast...but can anyone think of anything for me to try or buy to get this charging no matter what? i figure it may take custom kernals or something like that to finally get it done.
that being said - if you are using an android phone you absolutely must check out the pioneer appradio 2 with the appradio liberator app. you hook the phone up via mhl and with the app have full touchscreen control and mirroring of your phone on the 7inch touchscrreen radio display its pretty awesome.
I know the wall charger is a 2A rated charger....which is built for tablets. Perhaps attempt to locate a travel charger rated as such. I'm no scientist, or electritian so I cannot attest this will work, but just thought I would throw it out there

my chargers i the car claim to be 2a but doesn't seem to make a difference. hell, the one charger would chage an ipad in the past
most samsung tablets need an adapter to "trick" fast charging mode on non-samsumg chargers. otherwise it'll just trickle charge. i've not tried any yet but seems i may have to since the gnote2 is gonna need the same juice as my gn101. kinda what i expected since they're pretty much the same specs.
here's a thread to make your own adapter:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845844
page 9 has a few links buy your own. just put .com in place of .co.uk on the ebay links.
here one for $3. ships from china so it may take a few weeks.
the stock AC charger supplied with the note 2 is 2A. I also have a 2A car charger. I cannot get the note to charge at any rate higher than 1A. Yes, i do know the trick to get the phone to go into fast charge mode. I have a feeling that 1A is the most we are going to get. Yes, if you have a ton of stuff running all at once you are going to use more than 1A and end up with a dead battery after a while. It does suck. My previous phone (Epic) would not charge beyond .5A. It died while on my car charger ALL the time. Hopefully this one wont die quite as often.

I've just ordered 3 of the $3 ones from deal extreme. it'll be a while before I can test it on a gn2. I'll try them on my gn10.1 as soon as they come in.

Yes, the trick i use is to short the two data lines going to the phone NOT towards the charging source. If you do not do this the phone will be in USB mode which will only allow a charging rate of .38A. This seems to be an android/usb standard across almost all vendors. once i short the data lines that is when the phone will go into full charging mode. The highest i can get the phone to go is 1A and this is even with the supplied Samsung 2A charger. I have also tried an iPad charger and it still only produced 1A to the Note II.
The Note II also seems to vary the input current based on how much battery is left. If the Note is very low (i.e. 50%) it will go into 1A. If the battery is high (i.e.95%), the current will bounce around. I have seen it start at .5A, jump to .8A, then to 1A, then right back down to .5A and it will continue there until it reaches 100%.
Bottom line i have not seen anything above 1A
JD
at least one of the adapters on the other thread claims 2A, but i don't think i've seen anyone with those results.
this is a pretty ridiculous problem for samsung to do nothing about is it not? the notion that you can't even charge your note in the car is a bit ridiculous. i wonder if someone makes a kernal with fast charging enabled if we'll be able to get around this

you can charge, just ridiculous slow. i occasionally charge my galaxy note 10.1 on my computer's usb when i'm too lazy to whoop out the charger. i do it a work where i know i won't use it for 8 hours.

You can't charge if you are intensively using the phone though. it loses charge.
Is there a specific car charger yet for the Note 2? I imagine this issue will be resolved with that charger.
People with the HTC Flyer/Evo View had similar issues. Unless we use HTC proprietary car charger, you lose power while plugged in. Standard usb chargers, charge it very slowly.

I am using the PowerGen Dual USB 3.1A 15w High Output Car Charger since it claims to be a 3.1A charger. What I thought was a fast charge was in reality not. Using the Current Widget app (which shows you the mAh) it registers 9882 mA for one of the usb slots and 10005 mAh for the other using the Galaxy Note 1.

so does that charger actually charge your phone then ?
Yes, just like a regular 1mA wall charger, but not like the 2mA one that comes with the Note 2.

Ok, so im using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and when i use wireless charging, it may work 30 seconds, or 10 minutes, but it always stops. What happens is i place it on the charger and it indicates its charging. Then, within a short time period, the light on the charger starts flashing to indicate charging isnt working properly, and the screen comes on and says wireless charging paused.
I have 3 different Samsung chargers, a Nokia charger and several Powerbot chargers. One of the Samsung chargers is the newest (not fast) chargers. I take the case off and it seems to be fine. Anyone familiar with this case knows its not thick by any means. Also, i have 2 GS6s in the house both using Neo Hybrids and they charge just fine. Ive adjusted positioning dozens of times but i know from experience that most devices dont require an EXACT placement.
I went to Best Buy, where i purchased it, and this is where it gets odd. They placed it on their display charger in the Samsung section and it charged for 10 minutes no problem before they told me they couldnt duplicate the issue so they wont replace it. I brought it home and the damn thing charged to full charge no issue. The next day when i placed it back on the charging pad, it starts cutting out again.
All my chargers have been tried over USB, and yes, with multiple wall plugs. My first thought was not enough power over USB but clearly thats not the case.
Any ideas from anyone would be great.
I don't have the issue with the old wireless chargers it seems. I think it is just the new ones that were given out that I have the issue with.

I've finally fixed my issue with the original samsung charger and generic from ebay, I turned on day dream and it works now without disconnection.
A lot of people are having the same problem and so was I.
Grab your phones charger and base and use that.
I think the long cord that comes with the wireless charger is causing the issue.
I'm using an old knock off wireless charger and no case yet, but it seems to be working fine. Once the defender case comes in, we'll see if it is still functional
I haven't had any issues with my Samsung wireless charger. I'm using the original hardware that came with it. I'm also using the Neo hybrid case. What is your model number? Mine is EP-PG920A. When I was at best buy they said they had two different versions of the wireless charger. Unfortunately bestbuy was sold out so I bought mine at ATT. And I don't have daydream enabled.

not a clue i was looking for a good wireless charger for the car but can't find a holder as good as my ibolt so for now i'm going with wireless chargers at home and a magnetic cable for the car
It'll work with slim cases, once you get to the rugged rubber tires cases is when it might not charge.
be careful with wireless charging docks, not all of them support fast charging.
Off topic, but there is a fast wireless car dock. I'm totally buying this https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-YOU...ireless+Car+fast+Charger+Dock#customerReviews

Ok do not need any fast charging if it charges the battery and gives enough power to let me run the phone with navigation and music it is fine.
Is that a problem with the cheaper chargers like these?

Yes, that can be a problem. Most QI charging isn't fast enough to keep up with navigation because of the battery drain.
Thanks. Then I need to stay away from it.

Anyone with recommendations for a 15w non Samsung charger?
I was wrong, the samsung old ones are 10w with fast charge. You might be able to find one, but wireless charging is never good for battery intensive applications. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWZqa3tT4NQ is a video to show how it works.

For me it is fine if the battery level at least stay the same and do not go lower when I am using the car charger during navi/music.
I can not find any info on how these China wireless chargers work for this task.
Has anyone found a magnetic dock that supports fast wireless charging? All the so called "best wireless chargers" articles seem to have the slow 5W charging car docks...
Yes,Me!
Hi. I am using a cheap ebay Chinese car wireless charger with the slim case on my s8 plus.
The phone ia slowly charging, but slowly discharging when using maps+youtube and high screen brightness.
Regards
Charge with slim case is Okay, but the farther your phone stays, the slower the speed will be. Most chargers will charge the devices within 8-10 mm max distance.
Recommend a charger with built-in fan for cooling. Search " B073XLKWFK" on Amazon US
I used lots of wireless chargers and fast wireless chargers. Most old fast wireless chargers worked well on my old Note 5 and S7E, but didn't work for my new s8 and s8+. Some stopped after a short working, while some never worked. Even my old Samsung fast wireless charger did that issue. I felt very frustrated. Then I bought a new CHOETECH stand fast wireless charger and got it received yesterday. Luckily, this one "fast charge" well on both my S8 and S8+, as well as my Note 5 and S7E.
I found many people have the same issue, so I share the stand fast wireless charger link here: https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Qi-enabled/dp/B010B6PSMC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Samsung Galaxy 8S Wireless Charging Issue Solved?
Use a Samsung Fast Wireless Charger with the Galaxy 8S phone with an Otter Box case. When I first got the phone charger worked fine with the phone in the Otter Box case, which has a rubber skin. Began having issues after 4-6 weeks and began removing rubber skin of the Otter Box case. That may work for a while, but recently had to plug the charger in the phone to charge it. I noticed that all issues seem to disappear if I leave the wireless charger unplugged while not in use. If I only plug it in to use it, then I can lay the Galaxy 8S with the Otter box case on the charger with no issues. I wonder if a charger is succumbing to some EMF resulting in some week capacitance affecting the wireless charging. MMMM. Glad it seems to work....for now.

Heat issues?
Yes mine has stopped working as well. The night i had it on the charger it only charged 20 % and both the phone and charger were hot. I have the samsung fast charge with the padding. It only worked for a month. Called samsung and doing a warranty exchange. Gonna sell the junk once i get the new one.

I have three chargers and starting yesterday, none of them are charging my s8.

If you have a thick case then it might not charge. Try without. But yeah i did a warranty exchange. Make sure you have proof of purchase and call the number on the box. I told them that my phone only charged 20 percent last night and was very hot both the phone and charging pad. And also tell them i have tried on my wifes or whom ever you want to say, wireless charger and it works just fine. Just so they dont give you crap.
I bought it from them 3 weeks ago!!! Just a week over the exchange time so I have to send it back.
Is it still waterproof etc when you get it back?

I've purchased the Pleson and it works great. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid with no issues fast charging.
The best thing about the Pleson is it turns off the LED charging indicator so you're starting at a bright green nightlight all night long.
Highly recommend it.

I've had previous models that would stop fast charging but continued slow charging. I can't explain it... but if I unplugged the charger and waited a minute or would start fast charging again.
Not sure why this works...

Business customer who always buy from CHOETECH. :laugh:
So when I put my phone on my charger it says "fast wireless charging" then after about 4 seconds it just automatically changes to REGULAR charging and the time DOUBLES! I have been using this charger cradle from ANKER for a three years so I thought maybe it's the charger. But no. I used a S9 which also has fast wireless charge. It does not do what the note 20u does at all. I've rebooted mult times and turned off and on fast Wireless charging and still the same thing keeps happening. It should be noted this started happening after an update to N986USQU1ATI5 / N986UOYN1ATI5 / N986USQU1ATI5
Has anyone experienced this!??
I have a similar problem that started after the upgrade, and only on 1 charger (Aukey). It starts as fast charging, then after about 10-20 seconds, stops altogether for less than a second, then starts fast charging again. If the screen is on, the charging sound goes off every 15 seconds or so. It's only the Aukey charger. Strange.
I checked again, and it does also go to standard charging after stopping. Also, I changed power the power supply, and it still does the same thing.
I had the same issues several times.
Wow. I wonder if Samsung did something shady like remove fast Wireless charge or made it so fast Wireless charge only works with their chargers?? This seems VERY suspect that this is happening to other people. Have any of you reported this to Samsung? I'm about to get in touch with their support and see what they say
i have the same issue with baseus 120w charger....charges with super fast charging for couple of minutes and then goes back to normal fast charging.
Same here. Wish someone had a fix
Same here. Pauses charging every 5 to 10 seconds and actually never charges. Only works on the Samsung pad now.
For what it's worth, I have a spigen wireless car charger and it does fast charge.
Like I said before, it's only SOME chargers that won't work. It was definitely after the update, before the update, all my chargers worked. I went on the Samsung Members app, and people there are having the same problem, but no solutions.
s20 wireless charging pauses since the sept update for me, too. rebooting, clearing cache, force reboot all fail to clear this problem. makes ya wonder how much testing is done with the updates samsung rolls out.
Same here after the latest upgraded.
I just received a generic 15w wireless charger stand from Aliexpress and noticed this issue too.
My older S9+ fast charges on it fine, while my new Note 20 Ultra only slow charges (~1200 milliamp vs ~700 milliamp input according to the Ampere app... This is with my Note 20's charger brick and cable.
Seems like Samsung are intentionally trying to lock out third party chargers.
Same here with the I Ottie I tap 2.
Was working before September update, Have tested with Samsung S10 plus and s9. On both, fast charging is working.
Any workaround yet, any one contacted Samsung ?
Quick update, contacted Samsung support. Fat lot of good that did.
Wanted me to take it in to a service centre. I reiterated it wasn't a hardware problem, it was software.
Anyway she stated to send a bug report through to Samsung with the description.
- Settings
- Information about the phone
- Contact us
- Report error
Next, enter a detailed description of the anomaly and attach the system log data. You will need to check the item at the bottom "Send system log data"
I have the same problem with my CHOETECH 15W charger. I guess we need to wait to next update from Samsung

I have all type of fast chargers (from 18w to 65w) at home/office... old/ new/ or third party and mostly they can fast charge on my S20+. I found this "slow down charging" issue occurs when it's on a wore USB-C cable/ or cheap third party cable (especially those 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 cable).
For what it is worth, I have a third party cheap charger (seneo) that used to flop flop between fast and regular wireless charging however, I swapped out the power cord with an older S10 phone cord and a Samsung fast charger power adapter and now I have fast charging.
