Update: 3/27/2012
Please stay away from this charger. It is very badly filtered charger, causing electronic disruptions that probably will cause permanent long term damage to your device. If you have already bought it, try to return for a full refund or throw it away. DO NOT use it on your precious device.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/28083688334...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1318wt_1395
Just ordered a couple of these puppies. Will report later if they work or not.
I'm in the market for another charger. Curious to see if this works (don't see why it wouldn't). Keep us updated!
why the hell do they make 3.25ft cable, nice find
I picked up the 6' usb cable w/o the charging block by the same seller for $10.
Nice find op, Thanks!!
Just order the 6foot cable and the 3 foot charger. Here is hoping it was money well spent.
i ordered the 6 foot cable, the cable from asus store is only 5 foot sweet.
Curious to see if this works. Reply back as soon as you can. Also, make sure that it doesn't keep trying to charge the transformer after it's got a full battery.
The seller claims I can return these within 14 days for any reason. So, I'll be testing the chargers very thoroughly. Don't worry.
Actually, I plan to cut and solder in longer wires. You'll see.
when you cut and solder the wires, try to power something like a video receiver http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2Ghz-4xCh...834?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415f4f87aa
and look at the video on the screen. if it has lines across it the psu is all noisy and you should add some ferrite rings or a full LC filter.
it's probably clean enough to charge teh tablet but i don't like fluctuations.

plus this is just a 12v out psu doesnt the tf need 15v??? what a waste, this is a $4 power block with a usb cable
i have two of these cheap power supplies and they are really bad lol

Says contains a chip which determines when bat is charged then goes to trickle. That circuitry is built into tab and is not necessary and might actually screw up TF charge controller. Also how clean is DC

I have found that power supply suppliers occasionally make the goofy statement because a number of people are stupid enough to think that the LiIon and liPo battery charging is totally controlled by the external supply. So they will only buy a stock charger out of fear that anything else will overcharger the battery. Thus the goofy comment by the suppliers.
Just got the 6ft cable and the 3 foot charger today and they both work perfectly. The first time i plugged it in i had to give it alittle extra push but then after that it plugs in just fine. I love having the 6 foot cable to use with the OEM charging brick its so nice! and the 3 foot charger is nice in a pinch if something were to happen to my original charging brick.
Recieved today. Works. But there's a weird side affect. While plugged in, touchscreen does not respond to touch. As soon as unplugged, touchscreen responds again. Weird.

Mine did that too...SO I threw it away. I would rather use a stock ASUS charger and pay more for it, vs a cheap charger that could be causing damage.
I do like the sound of getting a spare cable though.
you could try this one...

I know we can't easily open the Tab 2 7" - but what if I took the charging cable, snipped it off, connected it to a wireless receiver and hid that in a silicone case?
I bought my tab as a replacement for my Pronto remote - and i want to be able to easy charge it without needing 2 hands to dock and undock - i figure it is more likely to be left charging.
Since the tab can charge off a pc at 500mah - i should be able to charge it this way, right? Thoughts?
So this does work. I am not sure if I can put it inside, but I may use copper tape and put it outside and cover with a case. I am not sure how or if I can tap into the internal charging circuit.

So I did this quick mod because i use the tab 2 in the living room as a TV remote with TouchSquid software. I was worried about the charging cable falling behind furniture or the device not getting plugged in.
The new phones all have contacts in the battery compartment where you can lay in one of the wireless receivers, but the teardown pics for the tab 2 don't show anything like this, so i took the safe approach and modified a samsung cable. Unfortunately I can't tuck this inside, and I was worried about trying to tap into the charging circuitry inside, so I am stuck with the plug on the right.
I created a bigger platform for the wireless transmitter too - the sides are higher so the tab 2 and its slight bump on the back fit down against the charging pad. And since the charging pad is now the same size, there is no problem with incorrect positioning.
So since the principle behind wireless charging is inductance, does this cause any heat? If so, how much, do you have an IR thermometer to measure?
I'd like to do this, but i have an otterbox defender case, which is sealed pretty good. I'd be worried about heat build up. Can you post a link as to how you did this?

It gets warm, but not hot. No warmer then a phone that is plugged in or is in use. I have not actually measured the temperature difference as it doesn't matter to me, and because the charging rate is relatively low (as registered by the the tablet) is low at about 500 ma, and the charging plate and coil are rated at under 1 amp. there is not the opportunity for that much heat anyway.
I am not sure what links you are looking for, I think the pics are pretty self explanatory. I bought the transmitter,receiver and cable off ebay - the QI receiver is for a Note 2. I cut the cable, attached red and black wires to the receiver after verifying polarity of receiver with an voltmeter. Green and white wires were soldered together and that was it.
The platform for the transmitter is a block of wood painted black, with a routed area for the transmitter.
Thanks for reply.
I am looking for a total, complete, DIY inductance charger. Completely built from scratch. I was hoping to find some info on making one from the ground up, not just simply modifying a current charger to work with our tabs.
I have found some info on building such a charger, but not specifically for our tab. My reason is because 1. I'm a cheapskate and 2. I like doing things like this.
Modifying a charger from another device is going to be easiest I think, since I haven't found anything specifically for our tabs like I had mentioned.
Thanks again. I think I will go this route and your thread will be helpful.
Sent from a rooted candy bar
My reason for off the shelf parts is re-use. The QI standard seems to be the winner. So I can always reuse the charging base with another phone and the receiver and cable were less then $15. I am not sure you could build your own for cheaper unless someone gives away some old palm parts.

Yeah I have seen the pics. The problem is that chargers don't plug directly into batteries. And if you did wire it directly to the battery or USB port, what happens when you plug in a USB cable? Do you energize the charging receiver? Someone more versed in electronics would need to figure out how to do this. The phones have dedicated contacts for the wireless charger.

Hey alphadog maybe this would answer your questions.
http://www.qianqin.de/2011/09/28/high-waf-inductive-charging-mod/
Thanks for the good info, but my mod is done. And no one really takes into account what happens when USB port is in use.
Or if you try to charge both ways at one time.
But it looks like there is lots of good info for someone to make the next revision!
Hei Guys,
there are already a few threads about this Topic, i.e. :
[Q] How fast does it the charging dock actually charge?
Charging dock for $15.50
Xperia Z2 Dock and Car Dock
Aluminum Magnetic USB Charging
Now there is one more, with a Poll! Why?
I want a thread where people could post if they have problems of slow charging with their docks/magnetic plugs. Important is to mention what ROM/Kernel you use and where they bought the charger. Also don't forget to mention what wallcharger you use, as most dock/cable come with USB connector only.
i'll make the first step:
i bought this dock from Ebay for 9 bucks.
Using Stock .402 Firmware with some xposed modules and Doomkernel v09
Official 1.5A Sony Wallcharger for europe and the same Cable into the MicroUSB port!
it takes around 7hours to charge from 1% to 75% ! Way longer than via microUSB port on the phone.
here a few pictures from the inside of the dock.... it's just a magnetic plug placed right^^

I want an other option that says "Yes I have a magnetic charger but the plug got torn off by the magnet". Other than that when it actually worked it was really fast.

I've the Sony dock, it's charging fast whatever the charger.
I've a magnetic cable/plug (sony is written on it but I think it's actually noname), it's charging slow with the stock charger (1.5A), but with 2A chagers (I've 2 differents ones), it's quite fast.
I should do timed experiments but I'm too lazy
Just got the sony dock and have a slim case. The magnet is too weak and the dock won't allow it to connect to my phone. It's very shallow also so the phone falls back.
I also got a cheap ebay dk36 knockoff. It seems to charge normally but I haven't timed it yet.
With my 1.8A blackberry charger I believe my phone charged via USB direct from 15%-97% in about 2.5hrs. Is that normal?
When my battery runs down I'll check how long it takes to do the same on my knockoff dock and let you guys know.
My knockoff looks legit though. I have the dk31 official dock and the plastic inserts fit like a glove. I want to say I have an oem knockoff just without branding. 'Twas a pretty good knockoff for $8

Okay so I plugged my Blackberry 1.8A charger into my knockoff dock today and went from 13%-98% in 2.5 hours so it looks like the dock I bought is not as crappy as the OP's lol. Look like mine is just a pass thru for the charging cable which is perfect. Like I said I also have the OEM DK-31 and my knockoff is identical in build quality to the OEM part which leads me to think I got just an unbranded Sony dock. Another thing I noticed is that the DK-30, 31 seem to all be the exact same minus the little insert they include with each one. The DK-36 is like the others but has no built in usb cable which I prefer because then the cables I actually have are what control the power I'm sending to the dock.
Here is the one I bought.

Hello,
Well, if you are looking wireless charger then recently some wireless chargers arrive online I have seen some on Amazon.:good:
Will it work just for the spare battery without being on the phone thanks
I use an Onite Charger, seen below. After asking the same question as you, a very nice person here on XDA sent me this to test it out and write a review. I can tell you that it works for all the phone's I own and the nice part is that it's auto switching and size adjustable, depending on the battery. It will charge your battery (out of phone) at 600mah and by USB at 1000mAh, which is pretty comparable to most out there, including Zerolemon's own ext. charger. It will also adapt to charge extra large batteries like the ZL 10kmAh and Hyperion, Anker batteries.

# How would you know it's charged?
# How would you know when to take it off the charger?
You need to buy something that plugs into the wall that has some sort of light or indicator that tells you when the battery is fully charged. My suggestion, look at DealXtreme or some such site and buy something cheap from them.
The Note 4 is due to be released in about 3 weeks. Hold on and buy something in the firesale that's going to happen once the Note4 is released.

To use a wireless charger you have to get the sticker that goes on the stock battery. They sell them in combos. However, just note that finding the sweet spot on the wireless chargers is not always easy. Get one of them that is rectangular rather than round because the device just sits on it rather than fiddling around for the sensor matching up.
Just a suggestion.

There are lights that signal when it's charging and fully charged on this charger. This unit also does plug into the wall, AND you can also use a USB cable from it to charge a phone, etc.

Hello,
You must have got charger along with your Note3, it'll better than any other charger.
The official Samsung external battery charger.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Magnector-X...UTF8&qid=1413648702&sr=8-2&keywords=magnector
Below are some low res images of the charger.
Positives:
Speedy delivery here in the UK.
Same charge speed as supplied sony cable (it doesn't come with charging block so I used the Sony block to charge)
Slightly faster charging than the iP6+ using supplied Apple charger
The magnetic 'adhesion' is STRONG. See image below of entire phone hanging by the cable head.
Compatible with my phone cases.
Connector jumps to the contact point due to good magnetic strength, but with 50% accuracy of alignment unless you aim well. LOL.
When connected, it has a very good magnetic flex/elastic give at the point of connection so as to simply bounce back into place without falling out at the first hint of a nudge.
Cable more flexible than sony cable, which is VERY stiff.
Otherwise neat packaging.
Negatives:
No warning that upside down fitment can burn the internals.
Ought to have been longer but it is the same length as the sony cable, so yes i'm nitpicking with that one.

FYI, unless it's engineered incorrectly, it's impossible to seat the magnetic charger backwards. One side will never seat correctly onto the pin.

Agreed my friend. Thanks for the correction
EDIT: I have tried charging another Z3 using the cable upside down and realised that actually only ONE of the two metal points make ANY contact, the other simply doesn't slot in. I'm guessing that was by design by Sony. So it isn't really a con. I will update the OP.
Very nice review, I have ordered the cable not adapter from Amazon.
I have a question. I am yet to receive my Sony Z3C and I understand I have to give it full charge/discharge cycles for the first 4-5 times so that the battery can hold its charge properly.
Would using the magnetic charger be the same as using the micro USB charger?
As I don't want to mess up my battery, and if the magnetic charger will interfere with the first few charge cycles then I can charge the phone with Micro USB for the first few charges before I start using the magnetic charger.

What do you mean you can't use it in the car?
Even if the phone is in a cup holder or something to hold it stationary?
Hi,
Can someone please tell the size of the cable?
I am wondering wether to buy the cable or an adapter, depending on its length.
Thanks.

This is not true. Lithium-Ion batteries do not require a "break-in" or "formatting", instead you should do at least one full charge, then full discharge and full charge again to calibrate the battery's controller. It will measure the current flow over time and set the levels for full and empty charge, so that your phone shuts off at exactly 0% and displays 100% when the battery is actually full. (There is no risk for overcharging if it's improperly calibrated though, it will just show 99% for a very long time or suddenly jump from a lower value to 100%.)
In essence, don't worry about messing up your battery. Do a 100%-0%-100% cycle at one time where you keep the charger plugged in while it's charging, maybe keep it attached even for another 20 minutes after it reached 100%. Then your battery will be calibrated perfectly and you can use it as normal. And it doesn't matter at all if you use the magnetic or USB charger.

I bought BOTH the adapter and wired versions from Amazon. Will probably update or create my own thread for those interested to see the differences.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up for me. That's easy.
It's so easy to get confused when a lot of people are giving different info.
Now I can put my mind at rest. So it's a full charge, then discharge fully and finally charge it fullt and I'm done.
Thanks again

Anyone notice using the magnector X adapter that when you plug or unplug it from your phone while you have a browser open (chrome in my case) that it refreshes the browser page? Seems really odd. However when I plug the power directly to the micro usb port, it doesn't do this. Anyone experience this and if so, is there a reason this happens?

Maybe it's got something to do with the phone going in to dock mode when the magnetic charger is connected. I'm sure someone who knows more will be able to help you.
I believe you are correct. I dont see a way to disable this in settings. Not really an issue for me
Yes it's entering on dock mode when you plug in the magnetic cable. It can disable only with the help of xposed framework (which requires root) and unfortunately not yet available for us. Hope to have root for locked bootloader soon

Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a brand that offers 2.0 quick charge on the go. I did some homework and the names Powermod and PureGear seem to pop up the most. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I had the powermod and it was slightly too small for my car outlet so if you bumped it then it would stop charging. I think I had a lemon but anyway I bought the incipio one and haven't looked back
Also, can I use any USB cable to receive the turbo charge? I'd hate to keep hauling around cables from my house back into my car.

I have this and it's great. It's got a very low profile, came with a flat cable, has an LED light (albeit not very visible), and definitely charges quickly. Highly recommended.

Can you post a picture of the cable? Do they sell it separately? I was going to buy that one but it was hard to find back when I got my original QC 2.0 charger on early December.

This might work for me as well

Here's some pictures for you guys. Can't say enough good things. And I'm not sure if you can get the cable on it's own.

I'm using this one.
It's the Nexus version with a maximum output of 4.000 mA.

That's not a quick charge 2.0 charger its just a regular car charger.

I use this one as well. Any USB cable will work. I tried an old ASUS cable with my wife's Note 4 and it said a quick charger was enabled. That flat gray cable it comes with is really stiff and I drive a manual so it was always getting in my way when shifting. I switched to an old USB cable I have that's more floppy.
This doesn't sit flush with the port though even though the design makes it kind of look like it does. It sticks out about a centimeter or so. It would be super hard to get out of the vehicle if it sat flush.
Thanks for all the replies! i've decided i'm gonna go with the PureGear

Pretty cheap on amazon and I like the design, will report back with my opinion on how it works
Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but does anyone know a very good quick charge 2.0 car charger with at least 2 USB ports? One port could be quick charge 2.0 and the other port could be normal or whatever.
I saw the choe one that has 4 points but its getting mixed reviews and I don't think I really need 4.
Thanks guys.
Yes just buy a power converter and use the OEM wall fast charger that came with phone.
Definitely not trying that in my car....
There made for cigarette lighters. Its perfectly normal. Most new cars have them built in.
I wanted to get the Ventev dashport charger, but they seem to be out everywhere, or ridiculously expensive in the places that do have them.
I want to try and get one thats as flush with the socket as possible, because theres already very little room in that spot in my car.
Found these two:
Aukey 4.8A / 24W Dual USB Car Charger Adapter for Apple and Android Devices (The Smallest but Most Powerful Car Charger in the World)
SCOSCHE USBC242M 12 Watt USB Car Charger for iPhone/iPad/iPod Lightning/Micro
I admittedly don't know much about, and neither of these are QC2. I was just wondering if anyone has used, or knows if they would work good. Would there be much of a diff between them and a QC2 one?
