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.

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'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.

Just got my hands on the CyberMonday Moto X and I AM PSYCHED!
Now quick question.
I have a Blackberry Playbook Rapid Charger, that outputs about 1.8 amps. The voltages is identical to the A/C adapter from Moto. Can I use it to charge up the Moto X? Or would the higher current damage the internal parts?

No, the phone will only draw as much as it can support. Rapid charging is generally considered to shorten the life of lithium batteries however.
Phone will only charge around 1amp as far as I can tell. One of the things I miss about my s4 is that it charges at 2amps

Thanks, I use that too. But I question its accuracy on the X since it doesn't properly detect my battery's capacity (i have to manually enter it), and often it shows -600mA when running (and not connected to power) even though I can get 24hrs+ out of the charge.
During charge cycles, I've even seen it only show +2mA and +3mA when plugged into AC (and battery is in the 40% remaining).
Right now when I look at it now, its showing +950mA while plugged into the Smart port on my Anker 2nd Gen Astro 3 12000mah battery.
Edit: now its showing +731mA so its all over the place. Not sure if this is the app or the phone.

As long as the charger's output voltage matches the device's input voltage requirement, any charger should work. Then it becomes how much current (amps, or A) does the charger output vs how much current does the device need to charge, which will factor into the time it takes to charge the device.
A few examples:
With a Droid Bionic that ships with a 850mA charger, it will barely charge when using a 550mA (.55A) charger or USB port on my PC. With a 750mA (.75A) charger it takes about 10 to 15 minutes longer than when using the 850. Using a 1000mA (or 1A) charger from my HTC Thunderbolt it charges about 20 minutes quicker than when using the stock 850 charger. Even though using a 2000mA (2A) charger can provide more current, the Bionic charges in the same amount of time as with a 1A charger.
iPad 3. It comes with a 2100mA (2.1A) charger. The 1A charger that comes with my iPhone 5 and 5s doesn't provide enough current for the iPad. It wont charge the iPad unless I power it off, and even then it takes way too long.
The X comes with the 1150mA (1.15A) "duo rapid charger." The X doesn't charge any faster using the 2.1A ipad charger (using a standard micro usb cable of course). And it does seem to charge at about the same speed as when using my 1A charger from my HTC Thunderbolt. While I've used the 850mA charger initially (so I didn't have to replace any of my cords on my dresser), I haven't timed its charging with the 850mA vs 1A.

(sorry about replying to an old post but...)
it says "if you use that kind of charger" the article also says that the X comes with a 850mA charger yet mine is labeled 1150mA output. Either way, an 850mA or 1150mA can't supply 1500mA (1.5A) current.

Hey I have the same charger. Can you try this for me.
Get a battery lower than 90%. Turn on Maps and set it to navigate somewhere. Put brightness at half and play music (at any volume). Can you watch your temperatures and see if you end up pushing 45C which implies "overheat" and therefore you won't charge?
Grabbed a generic one from eBay for 12 bucks been using for a month now its real big and does an excellent job.

I don't see why would you be using your phone while wireless charging. using your phone while charging kills the battery R.I.P my AT&T HTC One X, but ill try it once it arrives.
This is the one I'm currently using. Just a generic Qi charger off ebay. Has the same 5V 1A output as pretty much all other Qi chargers.
Works pretty good, no complaints.
I also just saw that it's even cheaper now than when I ordered it before. just ordered 2 more.
It's currently $11.42 with free shipping. (Choose Black Charging Pad or White Charging Pad from the drop down list).

The Nokia one was through AT&T. The bad thing is uses a barrel plug for power, which makes it a bad choice for travel. It is also bowled out, so the phones don't sit flat, which is kind of stupid.
Most will all work the same. The only difference between the cheaper models compared to the more expensive ones are the features. More expensive ones typically have multiple coils inside to allow multiple positions and ease of use. Cheaper ones typically only have 1 which means you have to sit it in the "sweet spot" vs just plopping your device down.
Some Qi chargers also have different methods for keeping the charge topped off. Some just reach 100% and turn off, so your phone starts consuming batter at 4am = 75% remaining when you wake up. Others will stop, start, stop, start, stop, start... which is ok... unless it has lights and beeps every time it starts/stops. Some describe it as a beeping musical/lightshow at 5am. Most should reach 100% and begin to trickle charge to keep it up.
So know what you're buying and make sure if you buy a cheap model/off brand, you can repurpose it or return/exchange if it doesn't work to your expectations. I've moved my cheaper ones into my home/work offices and I have a good Samsung model by my bedside.

Yeah, no worries on the flat charger I have. It only makes 1 initial beep when connected and that's it. Actually, I'm not sure if it's the charger or the phone that makes the beep haha. When it reaches 100% there's no extra sounds. It also keeps the phone topped off. So when I wake up in the morning it's fully charged, and cool to the touch.

It's not even worth it at $12. Even being from Nokia, it only has a 750mA output current, so the charge time is going to be super slow. The one the OP posted has 1A output. The generic ones I posted are much cheaper and have 1A output.

Yes it will charge faster from an AC adapter (if the amps are enough to fully power the charger) compared to USB into a computer. If you use a PC/Mac USB port there generally is not enough current to allow the charger to operate at full speed. If you have a charger that is 5V/1.5A Input make sure you have a USB adapter that provides at least the same output. If you have an adapter that provides higher (ex: 5V/2A) that is fine as too as the charger will only draw what it needs.

Hi.
Charging cable is so short.
Is there a good, safe, fast 3M (10ft) or 1.5M (5ft) option? OnePlus doesn't seem to have such a cable on their site.
Thanks!
You could buy an extension cord to plug in your charger. It seems that any other charger is slower, am I wrong?

If you can, I'd order from Monoprice. They have a large selection of cables and good quality.
I think you just have to make shure that the cable can handle 5V 2A and not only 5V 1A

i just ordered this one last night. it uses 21AWG pwr wires in the bundle. I read a bunch or reviews and it seems to have the best current over a long length.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Braided...ie=UTF8&qid=1439994659&sr=1-17&keywords=anker
You probably will receive no joy from that cable from Anker. Way to long.
Read this and choose one of the cables they tested. I opted for the EZOPower Extra Long 6ft from Amazon or ebay. I got it cheaper on ebay.
Let us know what charging rates you get with the Anker. I use Ampre app to measure.
http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-micro-usb-cable/

6' is too short for what I need it for. I have 2 10' cables already and I usually get around 550ma. I've watched/read a ton of reviews and this anker usually sees around 1200ma. It uses 21awg wire for the power wires. It'll be in on Tuesday so I'll be sure post then.
If I need a quick boost I use the 3' cable that came with the phone. The 10' if it takes a extra 1-2 his to charge don't really matter since it's plugged in for several hours at a time anyways. I'd rather have convenience over speed... That's why I installed a qi coil in mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...ded-internal-qi-charging-to-opo-pics-t2997326
Got the 10' cable today. Charges at 1200+mA. I have two other genetic cables that only get around 500mA. The anker is the red one. Money well spent.
Wow so I should have waited a few more min before declaring that it charges at 1200ma. I only left it plugged in for a few min when I checked battery monitor. This morning after charging all night it actually sped up and plateaued at 1800ma! Pretty dang good considering the stock charger/cable one sees charge rates of 1900.
I would go for AC side extension cord.:laugh:

You're going to need it to be 4x as thick if you want it to be 3m and have the oneplus detect it as the original charger. OR we could all demand that onePlus allow us to use normal cables.
Hi,
I have heard when possible don't use fast chargers like the one included with OP3 (Dash Charger) so I was thinking to charge OP3 with a Samsung charger that has 5V - 1.55A output. Is it a good idea or should I just use Dash charger every time?
Does fast chargers like Dash charger degrade battery life in the long run?
U can use whatever you want
You heard that from who? I assume any charger should be okay, but why on earth would a manufacturer include a charger with a device that isn't even safe to use? That is unless they made a mistake somehow or another. But other than that, that would be the stupidest thing ever and a support nightmare.
You just need to stop listening to whom ever your currently listening to.. Dash charger is good.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
That happens when people apply old logic/rules to new tech ... Using provided Dash Charger will NOT degrade your battery any more than normal. And using lower amperage will not help it much either, it will just slow down the charging process.
In general about using unofficial charger: voltage has to be the same as official, amperage can be lower. Using higher amperage is not recommended, but phones today are "smart" enough to just not use the charger's full potential. So basically like people said you can use pretty much any charger with any device and you'll be ok.

I have heard when possible don't use fast chargers like the one included with OP3 (Dash Charger) so I was thinking to charge OP3 with a Samsung charger that has 5V - 1.55A output. Is it a good idea or should I just use Dash charger every time?
Does fast chargers like Dash charger degrade battery life in the long run?

Just make sure you use a 5V charger. My Samsung tablet uses a 5.3V and I think that's not that great for the battery.
