Is it just me or are the cords on the stock charger that comes with phone getting shorter and shorter?
So my question is, does anyone know of a wall charger with a longer cord?
Thanks

Shorter the cord, quicker the charge i believe. I have a 6 foot cable i use to charge my Gnote, but it's noticable slower (and its shorted for rapid charging). I have tested different AMP chargers too, but the OEM shorty is the best.
I know what you mean though, it's a pain in the ass sometimes when it ain't long enough
Cable length wont matter up to the Max length of 15', however I have seen some issues with printers and wont go over 12'. The quality cable can matter though.
I have noticed they seem to be getting shorter though. Maybe a 16" cable cost $0.02 instead of the 20" cable that costs $0.03

Low gauge 10 feet, you might see some resistance and a slower charge, but if you're like me and you generally charge overnight, no biggie, plus more room to have it on the bed monitoring how much your wife keeps you up Electric Sleep or other such apps

I have 4 batteries, desk charger, car charger, an bed charger. A dead batter is not an option for me. I just wanted some longer cables. But at 12 feet there shouldn't be any real noticeable drop, especially when used with a fast charge supply. You start to see drops when you hit 15'-20' that start to effect things.

Inverters (devices that plug into car lighter sockets and convert power to an ac socket) are cheap, similar in price to car phone chargers.
Is there some specific advantage to car chargers that I'm not aware of?
Well, I have 3 inverters, and every one of them produces noise. If I am using the phone for videos, movies, or other audio through the stereo of the vehicle, and the phone is charging off an inverter, I hear something similar to white noise. With DC car chargers, not a problem.
Also, an inverter takes more juice from your battery to charge the phone. Important if you are somewhere for an extended period of time with the vehicle off.
Because most car chargers are very cheap and work in any car. Most people dont want a big clunky inverter sticking out when you can have a low profile USB plug sticking out with a cable plugged into it. Cheap inverters are unreliable, often cause noise, and are just plain ugly sticking out of the dash.

As said, inverters are quite inefficient and use a ton of power, and smaller is a big plus too. Who wants to carry their charger around with them all of them all the time? My OEM charger is by my bed for charging overnight, I have an older Moto charger at work, and a moto in my car.

Also "most" anyone who has owned an htc / Samsung, or any brand that uses the micro USB standard already has a car charger that works with the note. I get so tired of accessories not needed for new models when it's a universal standard. previous gen cables / chargers will work just fine

Often you can get around the buzzing by using a pure-sinewave inverter. One of the best on the market is the Morningstar 300 - so efficient it doesn't even need a fan. Which usually fails about 2 weeks after buying the cheap mod-sine inverters.

I havn't encountered a argument for this that is claims both real world effects AND facts to back it up. Mostly theories and all that jazz that equates to taking days off a batteries life over years of use in the worse case situation.
The most believable scenerios are the ones that take piss poor quality hardware into account and that is a fault of buying junk chargers and not one of the charging method. And ones that take charging characteristics of past battery technology into account and not current.
However please feel free to elaborate, I am by no means claiming to have read and understand everything out there, although links would also be greatly appreciated too.

There are chargers that regulate the voltage that is ultimately sent to your phone, but many don't and I have seen between 16-18 volts from my outlet depending on rpm's and loads. That's gonna charge your phone too fast and from what I've read lithium batteries are not designed for this. I've seen soooo many people with poor battery life and have "always used there car chargers".
So a little while ago I purchased a Galaxy SII and had a problem with the phone charging, it was at times unusable, screen was unresponsive sometimes etc.. etc.. I took it back, they didn't have another one so I didn't buy another one.
I just bought another one a couple days ago and I've always been a lurker here, but I had the SAME problem with the one I bought yesterday. I returned it today and exchanged it, and this one while not as frequent or severe, is also doing the exact same thing. Only while charging. It's the charger that came with the phone, the cord that came with the phone...
I don't get it. Is it some sort of electrical interference in my outlets perhaps?
From my understanding, its the charger. Sometimes while charging, my screen is unresponsive or inaccurate. On my Captivate, using the device while it was on the charger made it totally unusable. I mean its was extremely inaccurate and irritating

Saw this happen with my captivate, it's 100% the charger. Tried it with 2 different captivates, both became unresponsive while charging. It happened to be one of those cheap ones from ebay..Just order another one, or better yet a generic usb charger+cable.

The HTC charger is a full 1 amp charger, if you can manage to read that fine print on it. The Sammy charger is only 0.7 amps. That might make a difference. I picked up an Energizer 10W/2 amp charger that works like a charm on my SGS2; has the same rating as the charger for my Galaxy Tab, but won't charge my tab for some reason.
I actually have an outlet in my kitchen that has a USB port in the outlet. I plugged it into that last night and the problem went away. Man, I feel like an idiot. Months of using an iPhone when I could of been flashing my GS2 to my hearts content. LOL.
What about an iPhone plug?

According to the fine print on an iPhone plug, it's rated at a full 1 amp too. I charge my SGS2 with it all the time with no problems.
That only happened to me with cheap non-Samsung chargers.. Happens with the AT&T charger, for instance.

I too have used iPhone chargers for the samsung. They are both constant voltage chargers and so will work for the Li Ion battery, but know that it is a stronger charger (and is faster) so not best for the samsung battery. In fact it's not best for the iPhone battery either.
iPhone: 5 volts 1 amp.
SGS2: 5 volts 0.7 amp
*heat is the ultimate enemy of Li Ion batteries, another reason to not use the stronger charger.
Yeah I had the same problem, and actually I still do have that problem with my SGS2
Its the charger for sure. One of the pins inmy charger actually shakes as in its not set rigid.
So when I plug in the wall, I have to make sure I put it in at an angle so that the pin can be powered.
It charges perfect with a friends SGS2 charger
I have seen similar problems on a car inverter I have with just about any charger. When Plugged in the touch screen acts like it is being tapped by a swarm of drunk bees. When I plugged into a cigarette lighter usb plug it works great. Bad power, bad cords, and bad chargers, these phone just go nuts if there is something they don't like on the power input.
Tapped out by infinite monkeys on an Atari 800
In about two hours of charging I went from 8% to 41%. Is anyone else experienceing this issue? I'm using all the cords and plugs given to me for the wall.
I don't have the SGS3 (yet), but my guess is that the battery is so large it takes longer to charge. Keep in mind that it's a 2100MaH battery. Depending on the power that the charger puts out, it could take longer to charge this battery than another phone.
Mine charges fairly quick with stock items.

I agree, the first few cycles might not be too accurate. If you want a faster charger get the HP Touchpad charger, it has 2 amps where as the Samsung one is .75 amps of charging. only $5 on hp website. that's what I use.

Monoprice sells a 2.1 amp 4 usb wall charger as well but it is not as cheap nor do they have free shipping *although atleast in CA I can get a flat rate of 25lbs and under for ~$5 shipping.*
I'm surprised no one has posted the correct answer to this yet. The wall charger Samsung has decided to include with the S3 NA is complete and utter crap. I believe it is .15amp draw. You need to immediately throw it in the trash and buy a new one. It is not a problem with your phone.

My Samsung Charger that came with the phone is 1Amp...charges the device fine. I don't think the 2Amps will make a difference if the charging chip doesn't support it (not saying it doesn't but the SGSII would only charge at 650maH no matter what charger you put it on)
Mine's charging insanely fast with the stock cable. Not sure if it's a good thing because battery life isn't all that amazing on my phone so far.

doesn't that mean each USB port is 0.5 amps?
Anyways if I'm not wrong the amps has to do with what it can supply. Whether the device tries to draw that much power is up to the device.
The stock charger is 5V 1amp.
Even if you use a 2 amp charger it will likely only draw one amp.
Even if it does draw 2 amps that would mean you are increasing the heat associated with more current. Heat is the worst thing for battery life. Its always better to do slow charge unless you're in a hurry. Your battery will last a lot longer that way. Having said that, I think 1 amp is a good compromise for speed and heat.
p.s. computers output 0.5amps per USB slot by default specifications.

Okay, this is a weird one. When charging my phone, almost every single time, it will charge up to about 76-83%, and then stop. However, if I unplug it and then plug it back in it will resume charging like normal up to 100%. I mean this is bizarre...is it a battery calibration issue, perhaps?

You mean the usb box from ur galaxy s2.... If so each box may have a different output for each phone..... For instance when i use my daughters charger it takes 5 times longer to charge my og than the og charger so that may be ur problem.
Via LG OG running Rootbox 4.2.2
Had the same thing too and as described in the post above it is in fact due to the output. Just compared my old but still kicking s2 and my og charger and the og charger has a much greater output.
Yeah lgog charger is 5v 1.2a. It's very nice. We also gotta qualcomm technology called quick charge or something like that that enables the battery to charge substantially faster without damaging itself. It's a logic chip in the phone and improved battery chemistry from LG. Asian manufacturers have a huge portfolio of products and are weirdly driven to diversify in all directions. LG has their own chemical company, and that's who makes our pimp batteries. I stuck with HTC for 7 years, but if LG flagship phones continue to have decent development then I'll probably stick with LG for a while. It's cool that they manufactured the entire phone from scratch except the SoC, no other company can really say that besides Samsung. And they're both Korean companies. Btw, south Korea is a great place to vacation.

It looks as though I need to pay attention a bit more. I was using the LG wall charger, however, I wasn't using the right cable. I was using my Samsung cable. The Samsung cable is longer and reaches to where I can charge and play with the phone at night. I'll try the cable it actually came with and see if it continues to pull the same trick. The LG cable is definitely thicker.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I totally agree with you on the length of the cable and is why I was also using the s2 charger as well. If you need the extra length you can probably get by using an s3 charger. I steal my girlfriend's s3 charger from time to time just because I want a little more mobility than two feet and it charges the phone just fine with very similar output ratings....... 1.0 amps compared to 1.2 amps of the og charger.
I've had something similar happen recently. The phone will either charge extremely fast or extremely slow. I usually charge my phone at about 30% and sometimes it will charge fully in about 90 minutes and others it will take up to 8 hours, with the slowest part being in that 73-87% range you describe. I always use the LG charger and cable because its the only one that I have. I'm running code fire's CFX ROM if that helps anyone out.

That's some weird stuff. I'm getting good performance right now using the stock cable with a belkin 1A cigarette lighter to USB adapter. But last week I grabbed a cheapo Chinese retractable cable that was in my wife's car and plugged it into the built in USB port in the car (don't know what it's rated output is) and the battery drained VERY fast... Roughly one percent every minute or 2. Freaked me out... Certainly appears to me this phone is temperamental about cables...

Best bet would be to stick with oem or pay the extra price tag for those high out put chargers that att offer.

Problem solved plus they can be had at actual retailers if you don't like Ebay.
For an overnight charging you will be better of with a generic $2 charger from ebay. It can't supply high current for fast charging, and slow charging is actually better for the battery. I use the factory charger only when I need fast recharge.
I went ahead and just pulled my neutral and hot wire off the outlet and glued them to the prongs on the charger and stuffed it in the wall, works great.

I haven't really bothered to test how long it takes to charge on the older chargers compared to the new one - might be worth a look.
Battery life on this phone is really impressive though, especially when you consider how much juice it takes to power the QHD display.
The stock charger is fast and powerful, it charges G3 at 1.2-1.3Amps. None of my other chargers can charge G3 at more than 0.9Amps. And charging from a PC or a non-android specific charger goes at 0.5Amps at most.
