Hi all, I am looking for a note 3 dock that uses the 2.0 amp charging? All the socks on ebay or Amazon are charging on 1 amp this taking 10 hrs to charge on a docking cradle. I was looking at the Samsung OEM dock, but the design on the dock looks very unstable and not reliable.

I've been using the OEM desk dock for over a year. It does charge at 2.0 amps with the OEM cable and charger that came with the phone. (The dock comes with the under 1 amp travel charger.) It is very stable even with the few thin cases I have used on my phone. I had problems with the Note 2 dock, but the Note 3 version is much more robust.

Already I have gone through 3 car chargers for my note 2 cheap ones and a Samsung charger none work well charging. The best one was the OEM Samsung but there must be a broken wire in there cause it charges then stops i move the cord and it works again. So I am looking for another car charger that actually charges and wont break in a month. Please post your opinions and links to the charger you refer (with best price of course ).
Here's what I use. About the best for any normal use. Had it since launch and so far so good.

Just ordered the car charger off Amazon for $7.00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DCCCTW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 will try it out. I'm still interested if anyone recomends any other car chargers.

Open up the charger and solder the middle 2 pins together. Or short the data cable.

This really is the best option (but I WOULD NOT SHORT THE CABLE). I downloaded an app that measures incoming amps and tried several car chargers. Most of them only output .5 amps. You are better off buying a car charger for the iPad (2.1 amps) or modding a normal charger as suggested and using any data cable.
I use a modded Power-Bolt charger with a retractable USB cable. This combination takes up the least amount of space and rapid charges my phone even if I'm using Google Navigation at the same time.
The Note comes with a normal USB cable and a shorted wall charger. The Note knows to rapid charge when it senses the short.
Rather than butchering either of my Kensington PowerBolts ......yet I chose to use Current Widget to measure output of basic Samsung microUsb car charger. Depending on battery level it registered over .9A at times yet on 2 hour ride last week w/ Google Maps it wasn't enough. I use ProClip device mounts, but for the hell of it bought Samsung's car mount today to see output of its included charger. Top measurement on 80%+ battery was 1.092A ?????? I'll let battery drain down and report back....

I actually just use a cigararette lighter/USB converter and use a USB/micro USB cable and it charges just fine.

If you do decide to butcher your PowerBolt, you won't be dissappointed. I'm getting over 1 amp now regardless of battery life or Navigation. It's a bit tricky with the PowerBolt Duo, but you cannot tell it's been modded.
You have to peel off the top sticker, then unscrew the top. I did not have a torx driver that was small enough, so I just drilled out the torx screws. Then you remove the top, disassemble the charger, and solder the two inner USB leads on the 1 amp side only. Reassemble the charger, add a drop of glue to attach the top, and put the sticker back on. Now I can charge my iPad3 and my Galaxy Note at the same time, while they're running.
I own both the single 2.1A port and the Duo 3.1A. What are you getting out of 2.1 ports? I don't remember getting over .992A with it. Am I wrong to expect closer to 2.1A?
I didn't look under decal yet, but own mini torx set.
Even though I own ProClip mount I bought Samsung Car Dock on sale at CompUsa to see what charging output the included charger produced and Current Widget measured 1.059A while battery was at 73%. It's the first time I remember getting over 1.0A
Has anyone found a car charger that works? There are a few on Ebay claiming to be 15v 1.2a but I'm not convinced, be good to get a recommendation.

Not on amazon.co.uk sadly, but I'll try a different brand. I assume the fact it is 3V undercharged just means the charging takes longer than with AC?

After some reading, as long as you get a charger with 15V @1.2A / 5V @2A with a USB 3.0 cable you'll be fine. Otherwise the tablet will have to be off for it to take a trickle in charge.
I bought this one:
(Can't post links so here's the code that you should find the item using search in amazon.co.uk)

Charges just fine even when the pad is powered on except that when charging it seems to interfere with my cars fm-radio so much that i lose some of radio channels...

Watch out the Output combination voltage and Amperage
What I understand is the original AC adapter is 15v 1.2a (18 watts). So we have to look for car charger output either 15v 1.2a
(http://www.caseen.com/ASUS-Transformer-TF101-Car-Charger-15V-12A_p_198.html) or 9v 2.0A (18 watts) or 12v 1.5A (18 watts).
The NTK car charger output 12v 2.0A (24 watts). That could be why some people report their Transformer got grilled ! But usually the 2A is the max, the TF draw 1.5A only.
I did use the car charger for iPad 5v 2.1A (10 watts) to charge my TF300T (screen off/sleep) successfully but it took longer time. Almost double time of the AC adapter.
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.
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Char...ords=samsung+oem+charging+cable+galaxy+note+2
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 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

I am new to the nexus 6 and I have a wireless charger I bought for me G2. It came with a wireless pad and cable. It says to use the charger your phone came with.
Well our Nexus 6's come with the super chargers...
Is it OK to use the wireless charger pad with our power chargers? Or should I purchase a 2 amp (or something different) charger to use with the wireless pad?

You can use the g2 charger as-is. It will just be slow. Won't damage the phone..
Well I sold the g2 with the charger. So I have the charger the nexus 6 came with. I am fine with slow charging as I put it on the pad then sleep at night. I just don't want to burn something up because we have the new style chargers. Maybe I'm wrong but I wanted to ask. Better safe than sorry.

This is probably the best one to use for QI Chargers.
I have about 5 of them I use for the 2 QI Chargers I have and for traveling.
I contacted the manufacturer of my qi charger and they said that I needed a 1.8 amp minimum charger to work the 3 coil system. They actually sell a 2 amp add on one. They had the answer all along.. I appreciate all the responses and help.

The standard turbo charger of the N6 has a capacity of 1,6 A. When the device connected is suitable for turbo (like the N6) it switches to turbo mode 1 or to mode 2 by setting the Volt to 9 or 12 V, but only when the battery is charged below 78%.
The wireless QI charging pads from China are connected to chargers with a capacity of 1 A. at 5 V.
This way of wireless charging works for my Nexus devices..
Has anyone tried the Unicorn Beetle case with the VÜ wireless charging car mount?
I ordered it, really hope it fits... Really nervous!

You can use an QC 2.0 charger on any phone without issues. The phones/devices PCU (power control unit) controls the output and pulls what it can from be charger. I have 5 or 6 QC 2.0 chargers including 3 Motorola 'turbo' ones and some others. I use these to power my qi pads, charge external batteries, charge my Huawei Watch (formerly charged my LG Urbane) and I've never had any issues at all.
