Where to buy the OEM charging cable for Note 2?
How can you tell if the cable is capable of 2 Amp current?
Here's an OEM charger and cable on Amazon, probably find them on ebay too.

Its the charger that needs to be 2A capable, rather than the cable. Any decent USB cable should do.
I ordered this one, supposed to be here Monday, will let you know how it does.

Charger showed up yesterday, according to battery monitor widget. It's putting out as much power as the original. It is a knockoff brand though, the printing on the charger doesn't match the original, all the text is the same, but it's a different size/color. If it continues to work as it does now I'll be happy with the purchase.

I'm switching from iPhone to the note 3. As a result, I will need to replace all of my chargers. I would like to order about 6 chargers and I want them to be a little longer than normal because I would constantly get fed up with the short apple cable. The new chargers should be the correct voltages for the Note. I would prefer the cable to be detachable from the power supply. Is there a goto charger that you guys use? Thanks!
Gotta see what voltage the note3 will carry. Also do you want all the cables to be the Micro USB 3.0 or 2.0?

Well from what I've read, USB 2.0 will charge just as fast from a wall outlet. I will just use the one USB 3.0 that comes with phone for my computer. So I will primarily be using these from a wall charger so I'll go with whichever one is cheaper.
You can also just goto Amazon.com and look for microUSB 3.0 cables and find plenty of them since its an industry standard and you don't have to pay $29 for a cable like apple rips their isheep off with.

Just a tip-- When I had my Note 2, I purchased extra USB cords from E-Bay. It might not hurt to check Samsung's website and look at the product name/ID for their OEM items, and then just get a few of those off E-Bay or Amazon. the native Samsung A/C Adapter with the powerful amps makes a huge difference too. and you can almost always get it for under $10.
Does the Note 3 have wireless charging?

I'm not 100% on this but from what I have gathered it has the wireless charging pins but you would have to buy the Samsung wireless charging back plate for it similar to the S4.

Not sure where your from...but if you have a 5 below store you can buy chargers, cables, cases for your note for $5 or less....I bought them for the note 2 and all worked without issue...:laugh:
Theres no point for usb 3 cables, they only add data pins. BUT if you plug into a real usb 3 port/computer, the phone MAY tell it to send higher wattage.

I am in the same predicament, I just want a 3m or 5m cable because the stock cable is too short for my liking, but the data socket on the note 3 is different then the other Samsung products, im guessing that this is a result of the usb3, but so far I haven't found anything on amazon or eBay that has the new socket only the old micro usb plugs which is know good to me,
And help would be great, I'm from the UK so shipping must include that.

Here's one from Amazon US that is 9 feet, http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Cable-Micro-Meters/dp/B00B7WGH48/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381072931&sr=8-4&keywords=USB+3.0+Cable
Also, you can use your micro usb chargers, just plug it into the bigger side of the usb 3 socket. It won't be long before we all have a bunch of usb 3 cables lying around though, as more hard drives and stuff come with them.
Oh wow so that's why the new port looks that way, backwards compatibility!! Nice oh problem solved, I still need a longer cable as my usb3 socket is a bit awkward to get to on my PC, so I wil look at the suggested weblink and see what happens,
Thanks dudes

anyone know if this is like the note 1, where you use a non-samsung cable, the charging voltage was reduced? there was some command to run in a terminal window that showed charge current. i don't recall.
i don't know if that's what did it, but at some point my note1's battery got ruined..where i couldn't get more than 10 minutes off the charger without a forced reboot. and all sorts of weirdness.

I've used non OEM cables and wall plugs, and it charges the same.
USB 2.0, USB 3.0 doesn't make a difference. OEM, non OEM doesn't make a difference.
OEM puts out at least 2 amps. Alot of other chargers put out much less so it will take longer to charge.

I bought an Xtreme 2.1 amp car charger but I noticed once charged my note 3 gets hot (110 F when I unplugged it).
Would using the oem cable be likely to help? The Motorola USB to micro plug cable I used did not cause overheating on an ac plug.
Can you suggest a car charger that works well without causing the phone to get hot?

It uses cheap but efficient STMicroelectronic chips,
So it is not a crap at the moment. But it can vary batch to batch on DX as always.
You seem to know a lot about electronics. Does the cable I use matter or is the charger primarily responsible for overheating?

1- if charger has low efficiency the loosed energy will turn to heat on charger. Generally efficiency is near 80% and it translate to near 2~3watt energy loose on full power. It will heat this little chargers very fast.
2- if the cable is too thin or connectors oxided, power loose on cable will heat cable, charger also phone. If the problem is cable charge time will decrease when cable heated. So if your charge time is ok, problem is dc-dc convertion efficiency.
You mention low efficiency getting charger hot. It wasn't., nor was the cable. Only the phone was hot.

chargers output voltage and ripple must be measured.
Voltage higher than 5.5V or voltage ripple can cause this. Charger voltage can ripple from 4V to 6V and you can only measure 5V avarage voltage with standart multimeters. Be carefull and do not use that charger.
Im using this one from Verizon. It works very well and has a handy led light

Hello. Can someone recommend me a longer charging cable as the one I got now I bad quality and will not charge the phone when I use it at the same time, I use original charger and random cheap cable 1,5m.
This phone is really picky, and the longer the cable, the longer the attenuation.
Still, 1,5m isn't bad. I use a "gold plated" Monoprice cable that had a ferrite core. It does the trick just fine.
Also, you can try modifying your cheap cable to be charge only by tying the two data pins together at the phone end. That often makes it work, sometimes even faster and since it's a cheap cable, there's little lost in case of mistakes. ?. The are plenty of howtos online.
Attaching to a qi charger is another matter, though.

I'm also using the 6ft media bridge. Best cable I have ever used. I'm getting 1.8 amps charging rate but I am using the anker 40 Watt USB hub which I would also recommend for anyone who has to charge multiple devices.

few things i've noticed.
Stock G2/G3 cable. If plugged in to USB 3.0 port charges phone at quick rate. I believe USB 3.0 is rated for 2.0Amps.
with longer mediabridge or other cable only charges at 1.8A when plugged in to stock charger or higher output chargers.
Hi
Sorry if this is a repost but I couldn't find answer anywhere.
I am looking to get a 3m cable to charge my Note3, the extension cables I have tried have varied in success, I have 1 that works well and is fast but the wife has claimed it and I can't find where I got it from.
I am happy to use the supplied plug, extension (e meters) and OEM cable or the supplied plug and a complete USB to USB 3.0 micro B cable (3meters). Does anyone know of a tried an tested 3 meter cable that offers a good charging time?
Also, does the USB 3 micro B cable charge faster than a standard USB to micro USB cable? I know the transfer rate is quicker just not sure if the charge/power rate is better?
Any help appreciated.

The charging rate is the same. The difference is in the carrying capacity of the cable (the cable rating). If the port you're using can output enough Amps to make charging faster (the stock wall charger is 2.1 Amp), you also need a good cable to go along. The cable that comes with the phone is able to sustain 2A charging rates. But if you're buying a 3rd party cable, check the Amp rating. USB 2 or 3 won't matter if the cable can only sustain 1A current flow. This purports to be able to carry 2.1 Amps... http://www.amazon.com/Hi-mobiler-Hi-Speed-Gold-Plated-Connectors-Smartphone/dp/B00TCBTFYK

I have 2 of these 3 meter Mediabridge USB 2.0 cables I really like. They're rated for at least 2.5 amps.
Sorry but I can't post links yet since I don't post often. Below is the info though.

You might try this 10' 24/28GA USB cable from monoprice ($1.46) There's a 15' one, too, costs a whole 0.50 more.
The issue with long cables is that, if you use thin conductors, there's a voltage drop (resistance drops voltage), which can reduce charge speed or even put you out of USB spec. These cables use thicker conductors to carry current.
Don't let the prices fool you; monoprice cables are pretty decent.
Thanks for all the answers and advice. One of the cables was £90! The others don't deliver to Scotland

I bought both the 3ft and 10ft red braided cables on the 29th of may, used them almost daily since (10ft for sure, 3ft I only use in the car so not as often) and I've got no issues with the retaining pins. In fact they're bloody stiff, they fit in my Nexus 7's loose USB port (dropped it with a cable plugged in, ruined the cable, loosened the USB port) as if there's no issue at all.
Also got the 6ft non-braided one for a mate (he doesn't have Prime) on the 29th of March and I haven't heard him complain about it at all. It may just be a bad batch with failing pins.
If you want any pics/info on the red braided cables feel free to ask.
