It was to don't have to plug the cable every time. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...&keywords=E+Qi+car+mount+fast+wireless+charge
The question is: is it good? It will charge without removing the cover?

I currently have a Belkin Micro USB charger in my car that I have been using to power / charge my ipod touch. This provide quick charge at 1A. Does anyone think would be an issue to use with the SG2?

I read a post here somewhere (dev forum maybe for i9100, fun with resistors thread) that the phone limits itself to 750mA when it charges. So you can use this car charger and it should be ok. I have a verizon charger that has a spare USB port on it, and the phone charges just fine. Only issue I have is the alternator noise that's put out the headphone jack when I am using the car charger. But I have some ways around that I think.
I was using a 1A charger that was giving me digitizer issues so bad that I couldn't complete my unlock pattern. I bought a new charger from AT&T that doesn't have the problem, but it doesn't say anywhere what its output current is.
This is the one I bought: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...0245&q_categoryid=cat1370027#fbid=UMdBTv5CnSG
will the included USB cable that comes with the Note be able to charge the phone in my car if i plug it into lets say my iPhone auto adapter which has a usb port on it?

You will be charged at much slower rate (limited to 500ma max), or not at all if your phone battery is almost dead. iPhone chargers are designed for iPhone only. You will need a Samsung auto charger (some other non-iPhone smartphone chargers may work too, just not iPhone chargers).
I just bought a cheap 5$ car charger USB adapter for the note will it work?

It will definitely work. The question with those cheap ones is, how long will it last. I usually try to find an OEM branded one like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250973439590#ht_2859wt_1000
Typically, chargers with USB port on it will only do slow charge. In order to support fast charge, you will need short out the data pins to allow phone to draw more than 500ma. Typically auto-chargers that comes with microUSB plug directly, such as the Samsung auto charger, will do so, asume your charger is rated to output more than 500ma.

It will be able to charge it. Keep in mind IF your iPhone USB charger max current output (5V 1000mA) is LESS than the Note's charger output, it will take longer to fully charge - but it will charge and will NOT damage the phone.
If you're looking to buy a new usb charger, look for one with the highest mA output rating since whatever device you plug into it will only draw what it needs. ie, my iPad charger is rated @ 2A/2000mA so it covers every device I own (all rated for different current inputs from 500mA up to 2000mA) and that's the only usb charger I take when I travel since I just have to switch out cables to charge other devices. On the other hand, if I only had a lower current rating usb charger, my iPad (requires 2000mA) would be out of luck.
Current output info can be found on the respective charger of your favorite device.
Hope that helps.
it does help, thanx Rand! i cancelled my Amazon order...wish i saw this post sooner.
I have this works great with anything up to 2.1amps...

Looks like that charger is rated @ 700mA. It'll charge the note about 30% slower than the wall charger.
This is my car charger

No, just a second charger for keeping in a travel kit. Ended up getting a SIIG 2-port, each port 2.1A. Seems to do the job.

Travel Charger issues
I have purchased a third party charger similar to this, it also states 2.1a output, however after connecting it to my Note 12.2 it charges for only a few minutes and then stops charging. I've changed cables, and I've bought a different model of charger and both of them stop charging the Note 12.2 after a few minutes. Only the original Samsung charger that came with it will work, at least in the USB 3.0 port.
Has anyone else found this as well ?
Nope, have been able to use my old galaxy tab charger, nexus 7 charger, and a third party one with no issues.

I'm not sure, but reading some of the product descriptions, I get the impression that the circuit for charging an iPad is different that for other devices - I've seen a couple chargers where one USB socket was for iPad and the other for everything else.
The SIIG seems to work fine from both USB sockets.

I actually have the SIIG travel charger with two USB ports, I have found that my Note 12.2 charges when the screen is ON, but as soon as the screen goes off or if I turn the unit off via the power button, charging stops. Interestingly, using the original charge that came with it or a charger for my Galaxy Note II I dont have that issue.
This is very strange

Just tried it with mine, same thing.
Does KitKat have developer options, and the ability to leave the screen on while charging?
UPDATE: Yup, it does. Not a great workaround, though.

Well, I guess the good news is that it is not our particular units malfunctioning, but it sure seems strange..it makes no sense for the charging to require the screen to be on.. that USES more power and slows down the charging process.

I got the ionic one that came with the charger, cord, and car charger.
Time with stock charger 14% to 100% 5.5hrs
Time with ionic charger and cord 16% to 100% 5.5 hours
For anyone looking for a travel charger to take care of all your gadgets at the same time, look no further than the Anker 40w 5-Port charger!
I just recently got one, and can confirm it charges the Note Pro at the same speed as the original Samsung charger. I also charge my Note 3 and various other gadgets like iPod, headphone amp, bluetooth etc.
Hello,
I am looking for a wireless charge to car which supports QC3 I only found this one https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Vehicle-Dock/dp/B00NT5LDJ0
Anyone had any luck finding it?
Thx

First one does not have wireless charging at least I did not find it.
Second covers the display... Therefore useless for cars and navigation.
I'm using the universal charger from qi infinity! If you're interested write me a pm I might have an coupon code.
Be sure to get the one with fast charge in it's name.
The audio port is being blocked by the charger and you can't use thick protective cases, normal ones work fine!

It's working. I wouldn't advertise it otherwise!
Just trust the standards: Quickcharge 2.0 is working on all compatible devices, so does QI Fast Charge on all compatible devices (or at least on 99.99%).
Any information on the new wireless chargers? Seeing as it's $90 vs last years model with can be had for much less, is there that much of a difference?
Buy one of these, I had these on my S7 Edge and Note 7 and they all charged wirelessly "fast".

How can these be so cheap?? Are they safe?
With the Nexus 6P, the charging cables are USB C on both ends. Are the samsung cables the same way? Are these wireless chargers USB C or micro usb?
Here are a few recommended on reddit.

I have 3... Great so far. One at work, one at home, one with my gf. I think they have to compete with the samsung chargers that are flooding eBay.
This is the one I use myself on the S7 Edge, it does fast charging and uses a USB-C cable:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K1CKKDI/
Its best advantage of galaxy s6 , s7 and and galaxy edge model have a wireless charger .
I was looking for a Qi "Docking Station" and found the Samsung Qi charging stand "open box" deal on Amazon and could not pass it up at $25 shipped. Only had it 24 hours and seems pretty decent on an S6 Edge Plus. Uses a standard micro-USB not the USB-C.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BMDQ9U8
When I got it the seal on the factory box was opened, but the unit appeared brand new, came with everything else sealed and even had all the protective wrap on it.
2 brand new white ones for $43 from samsung.com
How much slower do the 'fast' wireless chargers charge it vs the stock usb c cable charger? Last time i tried it was on my S5 and its so much slower than charging with a cable that it just wasnt worth the minor reduction in hassle of not having to plug in the cable, but if it was charging almost as fast then it might be worth it.

Probably wasnt. But I havent seen any data on how fast the fast wireless charging is vs fast cable charging. I suspect the wireless is still much slower but if not then I will probably look to pick up a good charger for it.

Its pretty fast I tested it with my S6 and Note 5 last year. I dont have the exact numbers but its much faster than regular wireless charging. I don't recall if it was as fast as plugging it in but it's pretty close.

Ok I found something on the S7 Edge saying 9% to 100% took just over 2 hours on fast wireless and 90 mins with cable. Not too bad but cable still over 33% faster. I think they said the s8 had slightly faster wireless charging than the s7 but didnt say by how much or provide any data on it.
In this review of the new wireless charger it shows that its plug is rated for both 5V at 2A or 9V at 1.67A, so it should support 15 watt charging, for QC 3.0 speeds. Wish they weren't $90, I need two of them...
