Faster charging times
- Thread starter spinrite
- Start date
I didn't charge the Note. I originally posted this in another section for another phone model if you follow the link. I posted the thread here cause Note owners would get benefits from this charger in quicker times. I do like this one better than Apples 2A charger. Hp's is sleeker, compact and comes with a 5ft cable.
HP Touchpad USB charger Amazon deal
Thanks for the info. Just found it on Amazon for $9.88.

Every phone charges slowly from PC USB port, right?
Do you think this would be safe? It's a cable that is designed for portable hard drives, to give them enough power. Maybe it would give the phone too much amperage (?)
My quick research finds that a typical PC USB port (and for sure Mac) has 500 mA power, so if you used this cable with two inputs, you'd be giving the Note 1000 mA which is basically like the wall charger, so it should be safe. What do you think?

Well, i have been using the charger that came with my Galaxy tab wich is 2 amp, since atday one.
No problem at all. It charges in little more than an hour.
I also have been doing this for more than a year with mi exiphone and the charger from the Ipad.
Maybe in the long run the battery life suffers, but i haven't seen anything like that. And honestly, waiting two and a half hours to get the phone charged via regular charger and ready to go me is not an option.

Wow, crazy.
Would you be willing to install Battery monitor widget and show me the log file during charging? Just curious to see the rate of charge (i.e. during the start and end, as it slows down)

That would be the perfect buy then :

It is.
I also have been using the 2 amp car charger that came with the original car mount of the Galaxy tab for the note and works great.
2 amp rules!!!!

I installed the Battery Monitor Widget. It says Techno: Li-ion 1500/1500mAh. This is obviously incorrect for the Note. So can anything it says about the Note's battery be of any use?
I found it too
Got it for $0.00 and free 2 day shipping
Amazon messed up with one of their promotions and gave me 2-$5 promotional credits when I purchased $9.51 li-ion duracell batteries. Boy, I love Amazon
Do the Apple 2A chargers for the iPad work for "fast charging" the Note? I know when I bought one in the hopes of fast charging my Galaxy S it didn't work. The Galaxy S just recognizes it as a regular USB charger. No matter which USB cable I use (even the OEM Samsung that came with the GalaxyS)
The charger I bought was this one from Macally, the CARUSB10 and it does not work for fast charging:

However, if I use my Samsung AC wall charger or my Wife's car charger for her Blackberry it is recognized as a "AC" charger and I get the good charging speed.

That amperage is an estimate. I guess what is more interesting the time between percentages.

I have used a 2A Iphone charger without any problem. Same charger didn't work for my previous Galaxy Tab 7".
