I noticed today that you can use a normal micro usb charger to charge our not3. Just plug it into the right side and it works. I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else but I tried looking before posting this.

Well I have about 20 micro usb cables lying around but only one note3 cable. This way I can take a cable with me in my work truck and not be worried about messing up my main one. It seemed to charge just as fast for me.

The one that came with it is 2 a so if you are not using one for a tablet yes it will charge a little slower. .. USB charging is where the new one really flies

" A USB 2.0 port is able to deliver 0.5 A of power while USB 3.0 is able to output 0.9 A. This means two things: USB 3.0 devices are able to charge faster and USB 3.0 ports can support more power-hungry devices.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 is the first phone in the world with a USB 3.0 port, making it ideal for comparing USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 charging speeds.
We first connected our Note 3 to a desktop computer's USB 2.0 port and recorded the time it took for the phone battery to charge from 0 to 100%. The same process was then repeated with a USB 3.0 port and a wall charger.
Charge Time
USB 2.0
7 h 48 min
USB 3.0
5 h 8 min
Wall Charger
2 h 15 min
Take-home lesson: If you're using a desktop or laptop computer to charge your devices, then USB 3.0 will save you a good chunk of waiting time. However, USB 3.0's improved charge speed still pales in comparison to a wall charger (Note 3's default wall charger is rated at 2.0 A)." -'Build Computers'

BTW, the reason why the MicroUSB 3.0 port is backwards compatible is partially because the EU mandated that all cell phones sold in the EU have compatible chargers to reduce eWaste. Not only does the 2.0 cable charge but it will also do data connections at a slower rate.

This happened a while after the Note 3 was released though. The microUSB 3.0 cable has always been backwards compatible with 2.0. It was just a way of making things easier for consumers

Hi,
I tried searching - but couldn't find any answer about this issue.
My iMac doesn't seem to charge my S3. Whenever the USB is connected, it is showing as if it "charging" but it barely charges the phone, rather it keeps discharging.
Is anyone experiencing this aswell?
Thanks!
USB provides lower voltage than a wall charger, so depending on use it could be at a standstill, discharging at the same rate its charging. Plug into a wall for much faster charging
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks.
I thought that it might be it, but the iMac sure charges the iPad and iPhone 4s easily.
Might be the 40-whatever pin charger the i-stuffs use is parallel charging different cells of the battery which wouldn't happen with android (most batts have 4 pins, 2 for temp and 2 for use, while the microusb has 5 pins, 2 for power, 2 for data, and one isn't connected I believe). Idk BC I don't like apple lol

you can flash custom kernel and change the default(475mA) USB charge to 800mA, tested and charge fast on USB mode

Rooting to fast charge from a laptop? I'd keep my warranty jk lol but seriously stick the damn thing into a wall lol
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
Note that you can badly damage computer motherboards if they do not provide the necessary power if you decide to configure the phone to use >500mA charging.
Most computer manufacturers have got rid of current limiters, so if the hardware cannot handle over 50%overload the weakest part will blow - which might well be a power conductor within the layers of the board, potentially damaging other components too.
Best case your usb plug just dies.
Even if the iMac support fastcharge, you'll always have to remember to lower it again before plugging it into other computers.

Is it the OE cable? And charger? If its not that's your problem.

mine does the same thing from time to time. if its charging slow unplug it and plug back in, then make sure the red light is on. i have noticed sometimes when i get a email or text and the charging indicator goes off(red light), it seems to only be trickle charging per say.

I don't think I have ever used the charger & usb cable that came with my Note 2. I have never had any issues with it charging. In fact, I am currently using a Motorola wall unit with a no name cable upstairs, & a cheap wall unit from Walmart & the cable from an Acer tablet. Both charge fine.
I'm using OEM charger and cable I installed an app called galaxy charging current and its showing a ridiculous fluctuation. I'm thinking it may be a faulty charger. It charges much faster on my car charger.

Hello,
I am searching for a good, stable and reliable portable USB charger which is driven by batteries (e. g. AA or AAA). While searching, I found this one:
http://www.amazon.de/Battery-Emerge...&sr=8-3&keywords=AA+battery+emergency+charger
I am not sure if I should get it. If someone has this device I would like to have some feedback, or else other suggestions.
Don't buy such crap, it simply wasting money! It would not even charge your device once fully !!
By something driven by a lithium ion rechargeable battery like what I have !
It has 2600 Mah capacity it costed me Rs. 950 ~ $15 approx

I don' t mind the money for the batteries. As I already said, it is mostly just for one week in a year, maybe two. Also, with two AA batteries, it should be possible to charge the phone up two times, as Alkaline batteries have got a minimum capacity of 1800 mAh with 500 mA constant drain (due to wikipedia); the device I postet in OP supports that. Our accu has got a capacity of 1650 mAh, so...

I think you misunderstood something. It's not 500 mAh capacity, but 500 mA constant drain. So it will charge our phone in a bit more than three hours. The capacity of one battery is minimum of 1800 mAh for alkaline ones, so doubled the device has 3600 mAh minimum. Way enough to charge our phone.

Is it just me or is AOSP MUCH better on battery vs Touchwiz. It seems that when I run a aosp rom with a certain kernel, it lasts me throughout my whole work day of browsing and using the phone and I still have battery left over.
If I have Touchwiz, I have to connect it to the charger before I'm done with my shift.
Maybe you have some touchwiz features turned on, adding to the drain.

Umm... Like I said, I can easily make it through a day on either TW or AOSP. With TW ROMs I typically have greater than 50% left at the end of the day, AOSP is closer to 35%. Now, until I need my phone to last more than 2 days, I'd rather not carry around a giant battery that more than doubles the thickness and weight of my phone. To each their own, I'd rather have a charger in my backpack than that thing in my pocket.
