Is Note charger same as Galaxy S2 charger?

---

Hi,

Getting an EU version of the Note, so I need to buy a Uk charger, is the charger for the Note and Galaxy S2 compatible? Thinking buying a 3rd party Galaxy S2 charger on ebay.

Many thanks

I suspect any 5v microusb charger delivering over 0.5A will be fine.

Expansys sent me a standard HTC one (5v 1A) with my german note and I am in the UK.

Thanks, I have a couple of generic USB wall chargers at home, so might as will use them with the Note.

I can't answer the question directly, but that big screen, fast processor and larger battery are going to take a bit more juice than your average phone, including the S2. When it comes to mains chargers that may not be a big deal, unless you leave the phone active while charging, but might become an important consideration if trying to use the phone for satnav in the car, for example.

At the moment I'm using an Orange San Francisco. That has a 3.5" OLED screen and a 600MHz single core processor, so hardly an energy guzzler. The supplied charger is rated at .7A. In the car, when using satnav, my generic USB car charger cannot quite keep pace with the energy demands of that little phone and the battery level actually drops slowly while connected to power in the car. I'm definitely going to be looking for something more robust for the Note.

Note charger is 1 amp, Nexus S .7 amp, Note charges fine off the .7 amp charger.

I assume a standard Samsung GS charger would do, the output on it is 0.7A?

Surprise, my car charger was not good enough for the S2 while using nav software, but the Note charges nicely.

So could I use my Samsung Galaxy S charger with my note (that I will order soon) or shall I purchase this

... the above is 1000mA... is that enough?

Or should I just purchase a Euro/Worldwide adapter to UK plug?

You not only need a charger that can deliver more oomph, but also a lead or charger, possibly modified, that will allow the phone to draw that current. I have 1A USB chargers for the car but a regular data/charging lead only permits the phone to charge at the standard USB maximum current of 0.5A. I had to open up one of my chargers and solder the two centre pins together. Shorting those two pins signals to the phone that it can draw the full "mains" current rather than the 0.5A USB maximum.

I haven't yet charged the Note in the car, but on my previous phone the charging status would show "Charging (USB)" prior to the mod and once modded it would show "charging (AC)", which is what you need to keep the phone charged and charging while in use rather than slowly depleting.

Same inquiry as me. Thanks for those links by the way.
