Charging cradle W/ Extended Battery Charger. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi,
I just bought an extended battery that constantly boot loops when plugged into AC so instead of trashing it I decided to get a charging dock that could charge out. Anyone know of a dock or cradle I can use? Thanks!

I just these batteries from Ebay that included a charger, good thing cause they all boot loop on me. Why is it these cheap batteries boot loop like this?

If it does that it's time to return the phone for a replacement.
It's not a rom or software issue.
I had a bad charger with my phone that caused all sorts or really bad things to happen. Bring both into att to get tested/replaced

Extended battery

I found this on e-bay & it says not compatible with the nfc chip. My phone doesn't have that right? Also, what do you think the chances of this battery boot looping? I already have 3 that do. Does anyone know of any on Ebay that don't for sure? I saw the post for the Amazon one but I don't want to spend 30 bucks when I can get free shipping on Ebay.

That'd be nice if only it would charge in our phones, but since it'd probably give you a boot loop it makes no sense to get one since it doesn't even come with a wall charger to give it any juice.
I got a wall charger with the other 3 regular ones that boot loop.

I have the Hyperion Version.. and been very happy it doesn´t boot loop.
So this one won't boot loop? I might pick one up then as it'd be nice to have the battery and the case

Cool. If you could take pictures of what it all looks like together, that'd be great too!
I just got it today. I tried to charge it with my charger from the other batteries I got & it's reversed so can't charge it that way. Its in my phone now & thankfully does not boot loop. I'll try & get some pictures up soon.

Fairly serious issue that may cause me to return my Note

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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
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?

So you're saying that ill need a Motorola car charger in order to charge quickly and keep up with the demands of the phone?

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.

my note not charging while am using it. does any one has the same problem? ?

Hi guys i used to have galaxy s2 before i bought the galaxy note.my s2 used to charge in the background even though am using it.but i found note dont charge the battery when am using it.i dont think this is a special feature samsung gave it to customers i never saw a device having this type of issue. Is anyone having same problem. Is there any solution for this. Thanq guys
That's because the phone uses more power than the stock charger provides.
This is normal, but you may have better luck using a different charger.
How long have you had the phone? And are you using the stock wall charger?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Are you using an overclocked kernel? If so, that along with high brightness setting and using the stock charger could cause that to happen. plus it takes a few days of full charging amd discharge before the battery is calibrated.
Am using it from 2 months.am using original charger.

I had the same problem. If you get the wire at the AT&T store that is a charging only wire it seems to provide the phone with 1 amp of power from the original charging block. Or you can buy a wire off eBay like I did and it does the job.

Which ebay seller? Many sell bogus charge only cable...
Download current widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget&hl=en
Use a 10 divider and if the widget shows 990-1000ma then you're good as far as the charger.
Now even with 1000ma chargin, if the screen is on, playing music, and navigation. It will either stay the same charge or charge very very slow. (very)
CobraCables... I purchased 3 six foot charging cables. One was broken and the seller asked no questions and sent me a new one. All cables come with a 2 year warranty and are high quality.

I recommend a 2A charger like the HP Touch pad unit. The phone only draws as much as is needed. It also come with a good quality and thick cable.

Long Charging Time?

My phone takes eons to charge. And if I use it while its charging, it actually won't charge at all. Anyone else experiencing this?

The charger it comes with is ****. You can get 2A chargers for about $5 from various places.
Are you using the stock charger? Overall all Galaxy devices charge horribly slow down

As he said, the stock charger does not seem to effectively charge the phone well - try using a different wall USB charger. I use an old blackberry one and it works great, and my girlfriend uses her iPhone charger with the same results.
I have a similar experience. When I am using the phone and must charge I like my HP Touchpad's wall charger which can charge slightly more than the phone uses. However I bought the Samsung desk charger with the spare battery and when the phone gets to 20-30% I just swap and charge the battery in the dock. FWIW I can get from 8- 35 hours on the batteries depending on use.
