The screen uses a lot of juice. Normally while in use and connected to a charger it will sustain the same level of charge. If you use GPS and data on top of that it isn't unusual for it to drain the battery. Not sure if the Motorola rapid charger fixes this, but the att charger can not keep up

What I did was get a USB cable our extension and short the white and green pair TOWARDS THE PHONE and instead of your phone charging at 4000 milliamps it will bump it up to 7-9000 milliamps. Just read it on a thread a few days ago and works great.

And if you don't want to modify cables or chargers then you can buy something off the shelf that has the data pins shorted together. Ideally you want a charger capable of 1A or more current (1000mA). I was getting 500mA before I modified my chargers and that wasn't enough to keeps up with the current draw of the phone and GPS. With 1000mA on tap now, it keeps up no problem. Poke around to see what chargers people can confirm work with our phones (have data+ and - shorted together off the shelf).
The Samsung charger that comes with the car mount does the same thing. They simply cannot keep up if using the GPS while keeping the screen on.
You will most likely not see this with say a SkyRocket because of the screen size.

Not really following the instructions here. Anyway someone can elaborate?
Two older threads in General and one in Accessories go into great detail.

Using Current Widget from Market; the charger I got with the Samsung car dock is the first one to produce more than one amp consistently. Box states that charger model may vary. My unit had thin body with oval head and non-coiled wire, and was first one to actually charge while using Google Maps/Navigation.

Guys any problems if i use my S2 charger with my Galaxy S3 i9300? The usb cable that i got with my s3 isn't long enough to reach my desk so i was thinking of using my S2 charger wich is 1.5 m long.
What do you guys think? Any problems on the long run?
You should be 100% good to go. You can also use the actual charger too if it isnt a lower voltage or if it's higher you dont mind a little extra heat (heat can be damaging to the batteries mind you)
I agree the S III cable is way too short
Samsung chargers work on every unit as long as it has the same jack hell, my samsung charger even work on my nokia phone xD hahaha

Seems to work pretty good, i charged it with my s2 charger and nothing bad happend.
I have an S2, S3, Galaxy tab 7" and a note 10.1... Use same charger for all, just change the usb cable for the different usb ports... All phones/tablets charge fine...

just because it works, doesn't mean its doing the phone any good.
you will be fine using samsung chargers etc. however some other chargers, blackberry etc may not charge or may trickle charge.

no worries i'm not using it on my old nokia, i was just surprised that it was able to function on my nokia )
yep seems to work fine charging with my s2 charger rated at 5v 0.7A, i don't see any difference from the original s3 charger.
No problem at all using cable in USB or charger...

I am using an HTC charger on mine and it seems to charge OK (I just reused the one from my previous Desire). I've also used a Nokia micro USB charger rated at 1.2A without issues.
I use my SII charger on my S3, no problem at all!
I think I will buy a longer USB cable also.
When playing games or watching movies while connected to my MHL my device still dies while its plugged up to the Power Source.
I'm running Padawn V8.
I do not think this is uncommon. My old Galaxy SI also discharged when plugged into my car charger if i had Google navigation or maps and Spotify running with full brightness.
You should check to see if there are charges availdable that put out more ampere.
Phone will discharge still when using the adapter. This is common and there is really nothing you can do. I even installed an app that darkens the screen completely and the phone still discharges.
Right. The charger connection while using MHL isn't for charging, it's so the battery drains less rapidly so you can see a two hour movie, etc.
I can't agree with that I just came from the one x and my phone stayed charged when connected to the multiple and charger. I guess it's a different story with different phones.

Some are better than others. I shucked out a twenty for mine after reading all the good reviews. Note charges on mhl while you tubing it up just fine. I will post the name if I can find it. I think its skiva(?)

The Note charged when using this adapter? Maybe your Galaxy Nexus. I've tried 3 different ones. From a genuine Samsung to 2 others from Amazon. All yield the same result.
Anyone seen it?
The ones sold are 1A which is rather slow for charging, i plan on using it for GPS + music so i'm not sure if 1A is enough to charge it.
The only 2A wireless i've found is this:

For those who bought it, how thick is it?
I'm thinking of combining it with brodit / ibolt dock....
Ohh, you can purchase a USB car charger with two USB ports. So you can charge you phone with your USB charging cable and also charge your GPS or Tablet.

I meant i use GPS and music on my note 3, So it will charge very slowly or maybe not charging at all if i use 1A wireless
There are a few threads that cover wireless charging. You find some info there. You are not likely to find a 2Amp wireless charger.
- Wireless charging will be slower than wired.
- It is more inefficient and produces more heat
- Most devices are limited to charging at something under 1Amp or even 500mA (as to minimize the heat produced).
- A custom kernel may be able to raise the charging ability of the device, but probably not over 1Amp.
No matter what you do 640ma is the charging current so a 1 amp charger will work fine

2Amp charger powers the pad. The pad puts out 1Amp to the device.
Like I said there are threads discussing wireless chargers in this and in the Note 2 section. The Note 2 section is little older and has lots of info. It even discuss that Samsung charger.
I had two chinese W.C that worked pretty well with my old nexus 5 now with my new G3 i can't make them work properly...both of them start charging for 10'' then they stop and they starting again and this is happening all the time...
I dissasemply one and put the grid right above my G3 back cover and its doing the same...
why they aren't compatible with my G3??they are low on power?or simply aren't compatible with my G3??thanks!
Just watch a review about the original LG wireless charger...with 1-Amp it does that same thing but when using G3 own 1.8-amp charger, it works fine. So it just seems to get too less power...

1500 mah is the same as 1.5 Amp. That's referring to the power of the charger you connect it to. If you connect that charging puck to a 1 amp (1000 ma) charger, or less, it will do what you describe.
Also try different USB cables. I've found some cables just don't transfer enough power, and cause the same problem.
i have stock wireless chager .. its good :good:
So is the trick here just to use the charging cable and AC adapter that came with the G3?
The Powerbot charging station I got works fine under any condition with my Nexus 7, but I get the above described error with my G3. I tried different cable and AC adapter combinations to no avail (not sure if I tried my LG cable with adapter on this one). Plugged into my work computer with one of the USB cables that came with it, it worked fine. For one day. The next day, it kept giving me problems again so not sure if it’s just the phone, some annoyingly precise placement, or just the charger itself (again, no problems with the Nexus 7).
I just received the ChoeTech wireless 3-coil wireless charger today. With the included cable plugged into my work computer, it was giving me problems. With the short cable that came with the Powerbot, my phone is now charging.
This off and on is kind of a headache.
I buy from eBay this stock looking travel charger... From the back they seem the same but the one I bought don't charge my phone like the one that came with the phone? Also the one I buy came for UK plug and im using a converter from UK plug to EU or GR Im not sure if the rest of the Europe uses the same plugs..
Is the 2nd charger fake or it has something to do with the converter?

to me it looks like a fake...
but just talk to the seller on ebay - maybe you can get your money back
The Charger on the bottom doesn't offer the same amount of power as the stock charger (the one on the top). The Stock Charger offers 1.8 Amps, and the one on the bottom only has 1 Amp (at least from what I can make out in the picture, I'd need a clearer shot of the one on the bottom to be absolutely sure) so the second one will most likely take almost twice as long to charge your phone.
the original output is the same so, by aspect could not be fake, i belive is original, i compare it to my charger and looks like the same, only difference is the language of the words in the charger, by that you dont know!
My original charger of G3 say this:
model: MCS-04ER
input: 100v/240v 0.3amp
output: 5.0v 1.8amp
made in china by SUNLIN (look, is made in china but is the original that come on the box of my G3!)
and the simbols/draw's on mine looks like the first image of this thread...only the model number is different!
i belive is original!!!!

If I use any ohter charger brand on my phone (for example, Samsung) with an output of 5V and 2A, will it work fine with our LG G3?
Yes. Phones these days have smarts in them and won't accept more power than they need to charge so there is no risk of using a charger that's "too powerful"

Are you using different usb cables with this chargers? Try out both using same cable and tell us how it works. USB cable is more important then you think. If you are using low quality cable it could cause charging issues.
