[Q]Disable charging when plugged in

So I bought a mhl cable for HDMI out.
But the device has to be powered...
And it charges the phone at the same time...
And I use it to play games....
The battery is constantly charging and discharging and it gets really hot...
I guess its also bad for the battery
So anyway to disable charging?
Thanks

Charging the Galaxy note 2 - North American Users

I ordered the International Version of the SGN2 and it'll be here on Tuesday but I have an important question to ask. I watched several unboxings on YouTube and I could help but notice all of them came with the UK prongs for the AC adapter.
My question is how are the north american users charging their new Galaxy Note 2's?
Did you guys buy an adapter? Use a different charger? (If so would the nexus 7's charger work?)
Please advise...

You should be OK with almost any USB 5V charger rated at 1A or more, but a 2A charger, like the Nexus 7's, would be the quickest.

I'm glad you started this thread. This has been on my mind all morning. My GN2 should be here Monday. If anyone has a link to a good 2A charger please post.

I ordered from Negrielectronics so I doubt I'll be getting one. What did they give you? 2A?

My GN2 should be here Monday. If they didn't supply an adapter, I'm just going to run over to my local Radio Shack and pick up one of these.

Good find and smart thinking! I think I'll do the same

When you pre order from handtec they throw in a free adapter, and the note charges super fast like 10% to a 100% in 2 and a half hours.

Anyone in Canada (Toronto area in particular) know where to buy one of these?
I know they're on eBay but I can't find it on the source.ca
Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I have American Style adapters with converter prongs, and have been using it on 220v here in Korea. I've used it the other way as well. They all work no problem.

I have a Nexus 7 charger and I believe this should charge the Note 2 just fine

Just a fyi - I ordered through Techno Trading House on eBay. I was just informed that theirs includes a standard US charger.

AFAIK, the charging voltage on the Note II is the same 5V as all other phones, thus any USB charger should work. The only difference is in the current rating. A (tablet) charger rated for up to 2A will charge it faster, while others will be slower. Heck, you could use a 0.5A BT headset charger too! It will just take over 24 hours to fully charge the beast.
The current rating is the amount of current the device can supply safely. Its like a tap, the bigger the spout, the faster the water flow.

Actually my s2 charger (5v 0.7a) charges my note2 from 7% to 100% in 5 hours.
I'm considering keeping that charger for daily use as my note2 only charges during the night anyways while im sleeping and I think its more gentle on the battery to slow charge it. And I'll keep the 2A charger for emergencies.

I've been using my Nexus 7 charger to power my Galaxy Nexus for a long time. The phone will regulate at what rate the battery recharges. You can plug in any micro USB charger, phone will still draw the power it needs.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 charger is quite better than the Note 2 charger as they say.

I don't know the amperage of chargers, if it is different, it will affect battery life

If it takes over an hour to gain 10% battery life thats usually a pretty good sign to use a different charger. Found that out the hard way when i lost the charger that came with my Note 2.

Searching for dual qi wireless charging pad

First I thought to buy the Google one, but it just to small, and I need 2, for nexus 5 & 7, then I thought, why not to kill 2 rabbits, with 1 bullet, and buy a dual charger, the ZENS looks good, and big, so tablet not look out of place, any other recommendations?

The energizer one? Out of stock on Amazon, but you can get it other places too

Could you take me a photo of nexus 5 & 7 charging at the same time on it? just curios of correct placement of the 7" tablet on it (dunno how good it looks on it, as other qi pad are small), how much Amps the Ac adapter outputs?

Sure. I'll grab it next time she's over. I don't know the amp the adapter puts out off hand, but both the qi slots charge around the same speed as my vu and the lg puck. I'll check after work.

No problem charging nexus 7 & another smartphone? also, what dimensions the pad has? in ordered to get charge, do you need to place the tablet over the edge of the device?

Any updates?
