So here is my dilemma:
While on the car charger, I'm running GPS and Pandora with the screen on viewing the turn by turn directions. Well, this goes on for 2 hours. Battery down to %63....... WHILE ON THE CAR CHARGER!
I Went to Best Buy and bought a 2.1A charger to see if that helps. I charge it at night object a 2A charger from a TouchPad.
Any idea on how to actually charge this phone while I use it?

On most android devices (not sure yet if the note is the same but I think so), fast charge is enabled only in the charger has pins 2&3 shorted. So, it's not only the amperage of the charger, but also what charger. I know the Motorola car charger does this, and crappy one in my car, but I haven't had any problems running nav, pandora, and bt calls and messages.

This kind of situation is not uncommon. Many phones cannot charge as fast as you can draw power, especially with GPS going and the screen turned on. The Note's large screen only makes this worse. You might want to try turning off things that aren't essential while you're using the GPS like wifi and bluetooth.
dude your driving a 5.3 inch display while using other apps of course its gonna suck some juice i would say you return it and get an iphone lol jk
Hmph that's odd. Mines chargining while useing Pandora with Bluetooth and GPS on more than its draining. When its plugged in to the car charger does is say AC or USB in the settings?

I realize the idea that it might not charge as well during use but to drain the battery while charging to the point it would actually be dead kinda makes me nervous to own this phone regardless of hardware demand.

Yes, 5.3" screen that should stay running while being charged. Think of a laptop or tablet. How are they able to accomplish staying charged while in use.
Funny you mention iphone. I am coming from one to this. I have NEVER had an issue with charging to %100 while I use use and on a charger. Many miles I've driven with Pandora, GPS, FB, email and a bunch of other stuff going on, hence why I question the validity of what I'm going through now.

Where might I be able to locate this information? You'll need to excuse me as I'm still ignorant to the whole android thing.

Are we talking a Motorola brand charger or one that fits a Motorola brand? I thought ones that fit Motorola are not micro USB but mini USB. I just bought a TomTom universal USB charger that allows for 2 USB cables to be plugged into it. One is a 1A and the other is a 2.1A. I also bought a Belkin 6ft data/ charging cable the is USB to mini USB to micro USB with included adapter.

AHA!
That's your problem....
My buddy with an ATRIX bought one of those usb to the wall things with 2 plugs on it... it takes 12 hour to charge his phone from dead... and won't charge my boss's phone at all
And... from my job... I know that adapters degrade signal strength...
Your best bet is to get something that doesn't require a second adapter...
ie: wall wart/cig liter gizmo... wire... that's it

Well this all started while I was using a car charger that was included with an HTC Inspire. I figured it would power up the Note. The set up I posted before is the one I bought yesterday to see if the same issue occurs. I spent a lot of time looking for a 2.1A USB power point in hopes it would alleviate my issue.
I am curious though about the pin configuration idea though and fast charging.

I'm using Samsung's official galaxy note car dock. Works fine for me. Doesn't lose charge while using GPS, paying music, etc. It does actually charge it up.
Id buy one of those if t would work with a case on. I wonder if there are ant specs for.that dock online that would elude to the power output. I see the.home charger is only only a 1A.
I wonder if it could be the cable too?

Yes, the Motorola brand microusb charger. The one with the blue round light on it. Its confirmed to have a shorted middle pair, telling the phone it's a wall charger.

So I had to use my phone for GPS today, as I was going quite a distance I decided to plug my phone in to the car charger, more specifically a accessory that let me plug the ac adapter in directly. Went to turn navigation off after I got there and it wouldn't respond until I unplugged it from the outlet. Any ideas?
Edit: more info. It seems to work fine when it's plugged in and the adapter is off but the second I turn it on my screen doesn't respond at all.
Input 13.8 V dc 8.0 A
Output 115V ac 60Hz 100 watts

If it isn't an 1 amp charger it will cause touchscreen issues

Usually a ground issue. I had it happen with cheap carchargers alot.
My charging cable hasn't really been working well and I just noticed it only has four golden colored prongs inside of it. Can anyone confirm this isn't correct before I order a new one?
Edit yea its not the cable this thing is just barely charging.

Is it the OE cable? And charger? If its not that's your problem.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
mine does the same thing from time to time. if its charging slow unplug it and plug back in, then make sure the red light is on. i have noticed sometimes when i get a email or text and the charging indicator goes off(red light), it seems to only be trickle charging per say.

I don't think I have ever used the charger & usb cable that came with my Note 2. I have never had any issues with it charging. In fact, I am currently using a Motorola wall unit with a no name cable upstairs, & a cheap wall unit from Walmart & the cable from an Acer tablet. Both charge fine.
I'm using OEM charger and cable I installed an app called galaxy charging current and its showing a ridiculous fluctuation. I'm thinking it may be a faulty charger. It charges much faster on my car charger.

Ended up being a crap cord

When I charge with a cord the power to the device will go in and out like the connection is loose at the contact. I'm using the HTC charger the phone came with.
I've found that if I apply pressure to the plug in the phone it never looses connection and if I jiggle it while in the outlet it goes between charging and not charging.... Any advice?

Could be the charger or the port or the outlet. Try another charger and outlet. If it's the port and you're under warranty return it.
Well I'm unlocked and s off.. can I return it if I undo everything?

You sure can... I just did... And for the same reason lol

I had this problem long before I s-offed or rooted, so I highly doubt it's that. The included HTC cable stopped working for me. It also doesn't work in any other device I have tried it with. I now use a Samsung cable (the kind that came included with the i9000) and it works fine. Try a different cable and see how that works.
