My EVO charges really quick for occasional boosts during the day...
How fast is the note?
From 0 to 100 over 3 hrs

How about a 15 minutes boost? does it give it a few hours of life?
I guess i'm comparing it to the HTC evo where i could plug it in for a few minutes and i get some substantial usage after.
It's a bit slow for me. 3-4 hours for a full charge sounds about right. But moderate use while plugged in to a computer it barely charges, haha...
It would be nice to have a kernel that supports rapid charging. I think Da_g mention something like that
15 minute charge isn't enough unfortunately. Samsung phones always take a while to charge I've had this "problem" with my Infuse 4G, my international Note, and now my AT&T Note. 15 minutes honestly might get you 2-3 percent in terms of battery note nearly enough for a few hours of use.
About 40% in an hour so that would be 2.5 hours for 100%. On USB it charges suuuuper slow.
I would love to see how fun it would be to charge one of those 5000mah extended batteries
Thanks for all the replies! I can't wait to get my new Note
Mine fully charges from 0 - 100% in less than 2 hours using the original samsung car dock charger. Tried a few times and always charges this quick.
takes around 3hours for me on a wall charger.
+1 on the Samsung charger. When I use all of the other micro USB chargers that I have it barely charges it. One night I put it on one of the other chargers at 1 am @ 23% and when I woke up at 6 am it was only at 77%. So I put it on the Samsung charger and it went to 100% by 7 am.

Hmmmmmm.
Last night I charged mine on my old HTC charger cuz I didn't feel like crawling behind the bed to swap them. When I woke up (after 8.5 hours of charging) I was at 99%. I suppose it could have been the stupid battery widget reporting incorrectly but my phone was down 8% in the first hour, with only 2 minutes of screen on time.
Guess tonight I'll swap chargers and see if that makes a difference.
any harm in using the Ipad charger to charge the note. i use it on my Iphone and it really speeds up the time needed to charge.
My note will be here Friday.
There may be two variables at play here - the cable, the charging source. I know with my Advantage the stock charger (with no removable cable) had an additional pin which told the Advantage to charge at a full 1 amp rate vs. the standard 500 ma available from a USB port. I think the stock Note charger is rated for 800 ma, don't have it here to verify.
Using the Note's stock cable I've seen a fairly fast recharge time both from the stock charger and my computer's USB port. Yesterday I drained down to 6%, plugged into my work computer (stock cable) for 2 hours then 1 more hour in my car and I was up to 77% after. Which included some time streaming XM via blutooth. Then plugged into the stock charger at home and was up to 100% after a few hours even though I was tethering via Wifi to 2 computers with heavy surfing.
We would need several tests to see if there is something special about the stock charger, the stock cable, or both. But compared to my Advantage it charges way faster and uses much less energy - excluding the display.

Interesting. I wonder if it's just a good low gauge (thicker, better conducting) cable, because the HTC adapters are rated 1 amp.
People who uses the charger that came with the phone must know that these chargers are really weak... They are only 1Amp... I use my blackberry playbook charger which is 1.8Amp charges the phone almost twice as fast than the regular one... Same thing with my ipad and iphone... I use my ipad charger to charge my iphone 4s and it's way faster! Use more powerful chargers! My note gets charged in 2hours top!

I just posted a thread in the Accessories forum about this very issue. Charge Times vary from 3.4 hours to 10 hours!!!

I'm curious to know what is the max amperage that the note can take. I know my old EVO is limited to about 950ma.
Uh...I love my Note, but it charges pretty slowly compared to my Skyrocket. It is also the first phone I have had, that can actually discharge while using it on a car charger. Especially if you are watching video or any screen intensive task.

Just wondering, I bought two JetStreams last week and both of them take a while to charge; I would say over 8 hours. My previous tablet would get fully charged in less than 4 hours.
I love this tablet and besides the usb port and audio jack placement that's the only other thing that's bothering me at the moment.

Using the 9V charger that has been provided by HTC, I can charge my tablet in around 3-4 hours - not sure though - will clock it next time I charge.
However if you use a 5V charger which is used by other phones, it will surely take longer.

That's what I suspected, I bought these tablets on ebay and they both came with the smaller 5V chargers. Just wanted to double check, thanks for the reply.
Yea I got a small charger as well from that ebay sale. Using my iPad charger(switched the usb cable). What's weird is after a few minutes on 100% the second I unplugged it could go down to 9x%. I had to leave it for a bit longer for the charge to stick to 100% unplugged.
Well I have tried around 4 or 5 different chargers and with all of them it's taking over 8 hours to fully charge my battery. I don't know what's the deal with this tablet, I bought the OEM genuine charger from eBay and even though it's bigger than the one that came with the device - which is a phone charger; the output voltage is the same 5V.
I tried switching the cable to my girlfriend's iPad charger and it's still taking a while; it's starting to annoy me. Battery life hasn't been an issue though, it lasts over 24 hrs under moderate use - netflix, web browsing, emails, eBook reading...etc. So I don't think it's a bad battery because it holds a charge just fine, it just takes too damn long.
Any ideas, comments or suggestions?
Its not the voltage of the adapter but the output amperage that matters.
The small adapter that came with my ebay JetStream only supplies 200 milliamps (mA) and can take 2 nights to charge fully (i.e., overnight will only charge it to 60%-70%).
As a point of reference, the adapter for my Bluetooth headset is 180 mA.
My BlackBerry charger, which charges my JetStream in a several hours, has an output of 700 mA. Actually, I have never timed it, but it does not take over night to fully charge it.
The AT&T site has a HTC wall charger for the JetStream - does anyone know what the output amperage of the HTC wall charger?
I Have the ATT power cord.
Output 9V, 1.67A
Full charge for me is approx 3 hours, maybe a little more but i've only let my tablet go almost to 0 once.
Hope this helps, Charles
My girlfriend's ipad charger outputs 5v, 2.1A and it still takes a while to charge with that one. All my other chargers are also 5v so i guess im gonna have to get a 9v one to see if i notice any improvement in charging time.

Last post seems to apply to my problem:
It will take about 4 x longer than the OEM for the same amount of charge.
If you operate the Flyer while connected, it might not charge at all, but will discharge at a slower rate.

Edit. I'm going to order the 9v 1.67a genuine charger for 15.00. That will solve this problem, as I have the replacement HTC charger that is 5v 1a.
i got the 9v 1.67A travel charger from ebay and it charges my tablet in less than 3 hours. the 5v htc charger that came with my tab takes over 10 hours to charge it.

Yes,your 100% correct. Don't know why the eBay company that shipped these all in the HTC box, didn't put the original charger. I think I'll write to them, although it may not help any.

Hi everyone,
I have just swapped my Galaxy S3 to a HTC One X+ because I couldn't stand Samsung's Touchwiz, and I love Sense 5. The downside is the charging times on this new phone are pretty laughable!
Now I know different cables can give different currents consistently, but I have three cables (one at work, one in car, one at home) that would all deliver 1000mA to my GS3 and I could go from 10% to 100% in about 90 minutes, about 1% per minute, it was great! Battery life on this phone never degraded so I know 1000mA wasn't damaging at all (all GS3s can take a maximum of 1A).
I've now moved over to the HOX+ and it's taking absolutely forever to charge, between 3-4 hours to charge from low. I simply can't wait this long, it's beyond a joke :crying: I've checked Better Battery Stats and my battery usage is about the same as my GS3 when unplugged (about 4-5% per hour) which is fine, so why the difference in charging times?
On my GS3 I had an app which showed me charging current that was specific to GS3s and was very reliable, but I can't seem to find a reliable app for the HOX+, the one I have is Battery Monitor Widget and it reckons I'm charging @ 330mA and I'm currently at 22%, that can't be right can it?
Here is what my phone is says when charging "Charging (USB)".
In the past hour it's done about 20%.

Erm thats the issue. When you charge using the AC (By cable to the electric socket) it says "Charging(AC)" . This usually takes me from 10-100% in about 90 minutes with the HOX+.
Somehow either you are connecting it to a usb hub (laptop or a computer) which is pretty slow compared to the AC, or your phone is mixing up the AC and USB currents. So an advice, use an electric socket and make sure it says "AC" in the power tab. IF so, check the charging time you should find it similar to that of Samsung.
I also think usb 3.0 is faster in charging than 2.0 ? If you are on a new pc with a new motherboard you should find your sockets 3.0, so don't use a usb hub especially if it says usb 2.0 since it will be pretty slow.
Hi Gand0ur, thanks for the advice.
I should have said before; I never charge via a computer/laptop/USB hub. Only directly into the wall. It is an aftermarket charger but it's a good quality one as it charged my GS3 @ 1A and also my old Sensation charged in about 90 mins.
I've just tried a different cable and still the same outcome. I'll try another wall plug when I get home tonight

No problem! The charger I am currently using is a 5V/2A (for tablets) and has worked fine for every phone previously, giving 1A current.

That isn't necessarily true. This charger has been the fastest thing to ever charge my HTC Sensation and GS3, and come to think of it my Nexus 7 charges faster with this charger too. As I said earlier, I had an app on the GS3 which showed it was outputting 1000mA (maximum the GS3 allows) and it would charge that phone in around 90 mins. According to the HOX+ app I have I'm only getting 330mA. Whilst I agree that poorer after-market chargers often give dubious results I'm confident that this isn't the charger's fault.
I'll try the a HTC charger when I get home, but the other night I had it on charge with the HTC charger and it didn't seem to move very quickly.
I'll just say what I know from experience with my HOX+: it only seems to be charging in a normal (and pretty fast) way with the original, from the box, charger.
I tried charging it with the charger from a Desire Z - slow; charger from Desire S - slow; a Nokia charger - slow.
I also noticed that while the Desire S or Z can get charged while being used, when using a car charger (a Nokia one), the HOX+ seems to be using more current, and it ultimately dies. It happened this summer, so this might be an issue.

I think you're right! I tried my wife's HTC One S charger last night (because the HOX+ doesn't come with one) and it changed to Charging (AC) for the first time. I have to say this is a massive let down for me, my car charger saved me so many times with my GS3 (for example I drove to Scotland and used GPS all the way, and the phone still charged right up at the same time) I'm not sure I can handle it not being able to cope with other chargers.
I find this extremely frustrating Is there not a hack to get around this with root?
I'm not sure about the Samsung, but the HTC will only go into the fast/AC Charging mode when it see the Data+ and Date- signals shorted on the USB port. This can be designed into the charger, such as the factory HTC wall charger, or you can buy "charging only" cables and then use any USB charger to get your HTC to go into AC charging mode. These charging only cables are tough to find, but amazon does sell them. Keep in mind that the charging only cables will not transfer data at Data+ and Data- are shorted. Once you are in AC charging mode, the phone takes over and determines how fast to charge. At low battery levels (less than 80% or so), the charging rate can be as high as 1000ma/h or the maximum the charger is rated to deliver. If the charger is rated to deliver more than 1000 ma/hr, the most your phone will draw is 1000 ma/hr.
Now there is another variable, the cable itself. Cheap cables sometimes have too much resistance to pass 1000ma/hr and can be the problem as well.
One other issue is the number of knock off chargers and cables out there. Beware of e_ay. You may not be getting what you think you are.
One final note, Apple designs the ipod to look for the Data+ and Data- signals to not be shorted (opposite of HTC and most android manufacturers). So chargers that are designed to charge Apple devices will need the Charging Only cables to charge android devices in the AC charging mode.
So if I didn't confuse myself, hopefully this will answering some charging questions. I've researched this and have tested many chargers and cables.
Since I got my note 3 I've been charging it with my old AC chargers I bought on ebay which is a generic micro-usb charger (I got a couple of them laying around the appartment). I use my old chargers often because the samsung USB cable which was provided with the phone is always pluged into my desktop computer, and I didn't want to go trough the hassle of moving the cable all around the house to charge my phone.
Well anyway, so far I've notice charging times were pretty long(6-8hours), but I shrugged it off because I simply thought a bigger battery require longer to charge. But this weekend I slept off at my in-laws and I brought my samsung cable and AC adapter. I looked up with better battery stats and notice the charge time was around 3times as fast. (2hours or so for a 100% charge). Dammmn!
So why am I getting long charges with my ebay chargers?
Is it because they are cheap china product?
Is it because they don't have the USB3.0 port?
I'm thinking the USB3.0 has nothing to do with charging times if it's pluged with an AC adapter right? So my long charge time must be because of cheap products? Ok then, but if I want to buy additional chargers, or even a cradle for my bedside table. How can I know if they will have the best charge time? Am I forced to buy samsung branded stuff just to make sure?
Cause I'd be interested in something like this :

but I'm not gonna buy it if it takes double/triple charging time..

The Note 3 should charge in just over two hours with either USB 2 or 3 cables. If you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en that will tell you the charging current. It should be 1200mA with the screen on and 1800mA with it off (trick is turn the screen off for 10s then back on and refresh and you should see 1800mA).
As long as the charger can deliver 1800mA and you are using a decent quality cable that should be all you need. Plugged into a USB port you'll only see 450mA on either USB 2 or 3.
Usually the ones that charge this quickly have an output of 2 amps. That is the output of the charger that came with the phone.

wow thanks there lots of useful stuff
I own 2 Note 2's the first one burnt while charging, it still works., but obviously does not charge anymore.
I replaced it with another one which also got very hot while in charge and had an electrical butning smell, but i got to it quicker and it is still in working order and able to charge, alrhough very slowly ie 5% an hour.
Is this a common fault with Note 2's ?
Also the battery will deplete in less than 4 hours from full charge just on standby using stock rom.
Am i unlucky or am i doing something to kill my phone.
Any opinions or advice greatfully received
No, this is not normal so perhaps it's a problem with the phone. To rule out the charger and USB cable, you might want to swap those, too, and retest.
I thought so. How widespread is this ?
I have 2 that have done the same thing.
I have tried different chargers and most of them dont work with my 2nd RMN2
I have not heard of this problem before. Either there is a problem with the phone itself, or (more likely, since more than one phone is affected) something is not right with your electricity mains supply. Do you have a surge protector/voltage regulator device/adapter?
Almost every charger should work maybe the output of the other charger were too low (and device uses up more than charged)
I got myself another charger (from Samsung with 5V 2A) because my old charger burnt out >_<
