I been looking like crazy and all I found were as high as 850mAh for the Droid Charger. Anyone found any other than the Stock Charger?
I use an old Nokia wall charger. The output is 550 mA. It works just fine. The way I see it is that its a higher output than just charging it through a computer and less than the stock wall charger.
The slower you can charge a Lithium-Ion battery, the better.

I need the faster you charge the lower the charge and wears out battery faster
if you do want a FAST Charge, then you got it with high output it'l kill your battery but.. there is an upside.. if you charge on fast charge..
then drain it 15 precent charge again you'll have similar effects of a long slow charge

I use an old Motorola charger because the cord is longer... charging it on the computer USB takes FOREVER!!! It is from a ROKR E8 and I think it says 650mAH The stock charger that came with the Slide is 1A and my GF's charger for her CLIQ XT is 850mAH.....
I use them all, does it really make a difference?
And how so I condition the battery because I get horrible battery life
The beast? I got mine but haven't powered it up yet for charging purposes. There is no light indicator that tells you when its done.
Got mine yesterday and I charged via AC and it took about 3 hours to complete. After letting it drain over night after 8 hours of heavy usage, I'm charging via USB and it's taking forever. With it on and after 2 hours, it was only at 15%. Now turned it off and it's been 3 hours and it looks like 75%. BTW, press the power button once and the screen will show the batter gauge.
you should charge it while turned on and for 6 hours or more for 4-5 cycles. Let it go down to 5% for those 4-5 cycles. Do not let it turn off from lack of power.
That is from instructions I received from a third party battery which had these detailed instruction to maximize capacity. I am sure you will get 1000 different ways but that is what I use and have always had good battery life.

While powered off, you can hit the volume button to get a visual on the batter status.

This thing pretty much requires the cable that came with it to charge at full speed. Older MicroUSB cables charge at a much slower rate and are recognized as USB devices when plugged in. It must be because of the higher capacity battery. When you have the right cable plugged in, though, it charges pretty fast.
I'm noticing that even using the wall charger and the USB cable it came with, it's taking about an hour for the Note to charge only 15%. Anyone else noticing this? Is it normal that the first batch of charges takes this long (at that rate it would take 6+ hours to charge from 0-100%)?
My note charges very fast when I use the ac adapter and super slow when I use the us from my computer. About 1.5 hours on the ac and more than 3 hours on my pc's us
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Its always a good idea to charge using the AC wall adapter. The USB port on a computer usually supplies ~.5A @ 5v to charge the phone, the included Samsung wall charger supplies double that with 1.0A @ 5v. That is the reason you see such a big difference in your charging times.
(Some computers now supply more than .5A through USB, but .5A is most common)
USB3.0 can supply 5.0v @ 950mA to charge, but the kernel isn't set up to take advantage of this, I'll see if I can change that (it would only affect charging while booted)
Just shy of the AC adapter for those of us with USB3 ports

I was excited reading this because my new laptop has a 3.0 port. However, I then remembered that my power brick for my laptop is kick ass and has a USB port that charges devices at 1A anyways. Haha.

So I got it down to 5% and then I plugged it in at around 8pm and at 11pm it was at 100%. Not bad, not great but seems about right. Now my question is I see a notification that battery is fully charged and to unplug charger but Im going to bed soon and am going to leave it plugged over night. Is this risking the battery in any way?

That would be the only use for my USB3.0 ports so far. Have yet to even need to utilize it.
The charger that comes with the Note can charge the battery in 3hours via ac. I wouldn't suggest to charge via usb, just because it's way too slow. Im using my playbook charger to charge my Note, Galaxy Nexus , and my bb 9900. This charger is 1.8a, it nearly charges 2x faster than the regular 1a that comes with most phones. Same thing for my car charger 2a, i even use my ipad charger to charge my iphone 4s and it's way faster!! Use more powerful chargers... Not more than 2a or your device might melt down!!

That's weird. I was under the impression that GS Note only accepts 1.0A of power. Well at least that's what it saids at the back of the phone. I've got an iPad charger that draws out 2.1A, maybe I should give that a try.
Hi
I can not charge my Galaxy Player 5.0 from mobile chargers using AA batteries.
Tried several chargers, only one 2AA cheap "noname" is working.
Ayone have the same problem ?
Any ideas ?

You need to look at the output amp rating of these chargers. Chances are the output rating is too low to charge the player. These players came with .75mA chargers and the one you are using is probably kicking out too little of the "juice". Even if it registers, I bet it will take for EVER to even go 5% charged... You need a better charger.

Nope.
Is not charging at all.
SGP 5.0 AC charger is rated .7 A but it can be charged from computer USB ( 5V .5A)
I can get the battery icon to blink with thunder, but is not charging.
Tekkeon is rated 1A and is not charging.
Soshine is rated .4 A and is charging my old LG phone, 0.75A.But not the SGP.
Noname charger from DX, rated .5 A is charging SGP with no problem.
Problem with electronics ?
Anyone ?

Batteries in the charger maybe not powerful enough, just because your LG phones charger has the same output as the SGP charger does not mean they have the same minimum power requirement to charge. remember 2 AA batteries is only 3 Volts and so the charger has a transformer (not the optimus prime kind, lol) that ramps the volt up, the problem is when ramping up voltage your dropping amperage and without knowing the amperage of the double A's your using is impossible to do the math to see if that would give you the min output to charge your SGP.
It's also worth mentioning that those AA chargers are meant to be an EMERGENCY BACKUP and you should NOT use them to regularly charge your devices battery as this method of "charging" and I use that word lightly is very unhealthy for your players battery.

If you want charge from Tekkeon you have to connect together two center pins inside the USB socket of the unit.

Hi all,
When I use the charger that came with the HTC One my phone charges great, rapid.
But when I use any other charger that I have in my home/office it charges very slow. Even with a 2.1 amp charger!
The charger that comes with the phone has an output of 1 amp.
I've tried multiple other chargers (1 amp and 2.1 amp) and they all trickle charge.
Anyone else noticing this?
Thanks
Joe
I'm using old charges at home and in the office and it did seems slow but had not heard of rapid charge. Will the phone indicate this rapid charge mode? If not, is it real?
I'm getting slow charging even on the stock HTC charger. Not sure how I can enable this rapid charge cause 4+ hours from 0-1% to full is a bit ridiculous.
use orginal charger is best , maybe it has some relationship with your battery life
If anyone is coming from phones with smaller batteries, remember the larger the capacity the long it takes to charge.
I use the cable and charger from my Nexus 7 and it charges fast. Off my USB it is slow.
Real AC chargers have two pins shorted. You can hack a USB to micro USB cable and short the same two pins to enable AC charging with any adapter, wall, USB, or car. Should be pins 3+4, but don't hold me to that.

i've done exactly this, and damned if the One still refuses to draw more than ~500 ma off of anything but the 2.1 A wallwart it came with (i don't have any others to try with). i'm about to dig out an old inverter to see if that will actually work. wish i'd paid more attention to my EE dad when i lived at home; i've gotten a serious crash course in this stuff while trying to get my One to charge in my car, when it's on.
edit: so i got my old inverter out, and spent about 15 minutes testing. i used the 2.0A adapter that came with my Nexus 7 to test, as well as the 3.1A Mediabridge adapter i got here. my phone was at about 45% when i started testing. unplugged, Battery Monitor Widget reported a drain of anywhere between 500ma and 650ma (running Ingress, wifi on). plugged in to the Mediabridge adapter showed, at best, a drain of 50ma. the Nexus adapter plugged in to my inverter charged at a fairly consistent ~120ma. i didn't touch my phone the entire time.
i left my Nexus 7 at work so i can't use it to repeat the test, but i will do so tomorrow. the cable i'm using is this one. i'm not crazy about having a ridiculous DC-AC inverter in my car for my phone, but if that's what i have to do so it can be used and not drain, then so be it. admittedly, i don't really understand these things enough to explain these variations, but i plan on learning ASAP. perhaps somebody else can shed some light on why the device charges different, and how it identifies an AC-USB adapter vs a DC-USB adapter.

Math doesn't support what is happening though. Phone has a 2300mAh battery. The OEM charger outputs 1A (1000mAh)
At most, it should be around 3 hours for full charge, when in fact it is closer to 4-4.5 hours. It's the last 10% that is the issue, it will trickle charge to 100% rather than rapid charge.

Yes, I think that's exactly what the HTC does... I read a pretty good article recently about Li-Ion batteries that talks about how trickle charging is the best for battery life, and it wouldn't surprise me if HTC got a little aggressive the way the this phone charges since we can't swap the battery ourselves.
I'm trying one last car charger, which matches the wattage of my Nexus 7's 5Vdc/2A AC adapter (which I've had the best luck with, when charging the phone while in use): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009TBF7IG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
If that doesn't work, I'm going to put a 300W inverter in my car with the AC adapters themselves and stop buying stinking DC adapters. This phone clearly pays very close attention to the wattage available from whatever it's plugged in to.

My next car will too, because I can only imagine that power requirements for these devices is going to increase.

I understand the adaptor comes separately but I'm wondering is 0.3a enough for a good charge and can it also charge from my Xbox 360 and Virgin media TiVo box? I am asking because I know it is a very powerful battery at 3000mah

I ran down the battery one day. I plugged it into my car charger, 0.5A, left it for a few minutes, powered up OK, but kept coming up with battery low notifications every 20 seconds. Stayed on but was annoying... I guess more than 0.5A

In the case I mentioned, I don't think the phone would've charged, it appeared that the car charger supplied just enough to keep it going (or extremely slow charge).
Basically, the higher the amps the quicker it'll charge.
The mains charger i use outputs 2.1A & it takes about 3 hours from flat.
I see you use a 1.55A charger so about 4 hours from flat... at a guess.
The 0.3A you mention is the input current from the mains...
