[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Whatever charger you are make sure it should nor exceed the specification recommended by the manufacturer. For galaxy note we can use 1000 mah 5V rated output of any brand. I think we can go upto 1200 mah but this is completely at your own risk. Beyond this specifications physical damages may occur depending the exceed of limitations.

I am using HTC's charger of same specifications.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safilo:
I been using Samsung DUOS charger for couple of months. So far ok. Although, I am curious about those charger with 2Amp output. Supposingly charged faster but so sure whether will cause damaged to the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
It depends on the type of your charger.

The amperage only says how much electricity the charger is able to produce. If it's a fairly new charger, it'll give only as much as the device connected to it will take - and your phone won't take more than it can handle.

Any charger with usb output and proper voltage will work, unless it's amperage is below the minimum required by the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thor2001:
The KERNEL controls the charging current.

If you are using the stock kernel, the Note only gets max. 1000mA (AC-Charging) independent of the used charger.

Charging with a 1200mA-Charger (used a Nokia) wouldn't change the charging time due to the limitation.

As long as the charger obeys the USB-specifications, you shouldn't hurt your Note no matter of USB or AC.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mystic38:
battery charging takes three things:

a) a charging source (your USB or car "charger")

b) a charge controller (inside the device)

c) a battery

* A fixed voltage charging source cannot push current into a device, it has a current capability.

* A battery will only accept the current that it desires to charge to its full state.

* The terminal voltage of a battery for full charge is determined by its chemistry.

* Control of charging profile and current limiting is done by a charge controller...

The microUSB connections are rated at 1A max, the charge controller will limit the charge current to this...hence the comment by Thor, and there is no downside to plugging in a charging source that has a 2A capability...just dont assume you are getting 2A out of it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Am Confused..you guys pointing that whatever the amperage is supplied to our device, it consume (charge rate per hour) only what it has been designed?????

If so why am I getting faster charge time when I use my car charger??? My car charger rating is 1250mah..if I employ my car charger my phone gets full charge in less than 2 hrs from single digit battery % left!!! How is this happening??

Upto my knowledge 1 amp of current will take 1hr to charge 1 amp rating battery. Here our device is 2.5amp so it takes 2.5 hrs for full charge by 1amp supplied current. If amperage rating increased duration will be reduced. Normally kernels controls overcharging...but does it controls amperage rating?? I don't think so.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Then why am I getting faster charge with a car charger??
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
I think you will find that the car charger is not of such as table voltage as the mains supply. Generally car voltages can vary from about 13 Volts to 15 Volts (with the engine running). I am not sure that the car charger regulates this very well (I have seen the same with other devices). If so, it may well be providing more than 5 Volts.

In this case, that is the only way you could possibly damage the battery. I do not believe the Note itself would be damaged. I also do not think it would be noticeable over a short time, but only over a long time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mystic38:
that is not how charging works...

a) charge acceptance in a battery is non-linear

b) amps*time is not equal to stored charge Ahr.. that would assume 100% efficiency.. and such is not the case. (that would assume zero internal resistance and so a battery would not get even warm if it was 100% efficient at converting incoming charge current to stored charge).

c) your car charger may or may not have a higher current capability than a desk charger.. my samsung charger charges at 750mA max.. my high output charger charges at 925mA max so one charger charges faster than another...

d) If by some lack or variation in calibration you are constantly able to charge at higher currents than the contacts are rated for, expect issues with the microUSB contacts over time..

There is a good reason why every manufacturer specifies and only warrants their devices to be used with their companion chargers.

You certainly dont need to take my word for any of this, the web is there for you to do your own research.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Regarding voltage I checked with a multimeter (a good professional one) it shows around 4.937- 4.982 V. And yes I know that this type of charging would affect battery.. But it's less expensive than the device so I didn't care.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
Thanks for re calling my studies at school..now I remember I learnt this year's back..

But still I need further more clarification..

I wonder when I use my device hardly battery doesn't get hot at all.. Only the above portion were the camera rest get hot so is this means efficiency of battery is good and that heat us produced because of processor and other functioning parts? Whereas my older device's battery gets heated when I use heavy. Did I Get right?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Zhenech:
Any way to restore the IMEI afterwards? Or is the simlock check based on the IMEI?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] CarpeNoctem:
I suppose the files you saved are to restore if needed, for the rest I don't know as like I said did NOT try myself
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Zhenech:
Nah. I meant whether it is possible to restore IMEI while still having unlock. If I restore the files, the lock should be back. (My glide is unlocked, but thats not the point)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
I'd rather spend 25$ for an unlock key on Americanunlocker.com

(worked great for me)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] joshua_tam:
In fact, I have tried to hack the nv_data.bin but seems that it is not the same as galaxy SII and galaxy S.

Although you will get unlocked (generic IMEI) when removed those files,

I highly recommand that you have to backup them in a very safe place. Otherwise if you encounter any problems, you have to sent back to AT&T / Rogers.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
The method will work.. i had tested it earlier.. a generic imei will be assigned..

however some operators do not accept generic IMEI..

This method is perfect ! My phone accept the Free Mobile's SIM card and is recognized by Orange and Free Mobile's networks.

(It connects too on the two another french carriers when theses networks are too low, I don't know why and if the reason is the AT&T ROM or the unlock method. By the way, although I am connected I can't do anything.)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
i don't like having a genric IMEI. will wait for anther method or just pay for an unlock key (when i get my device ofcurse :))
[Samsung Captivate Glide] petard:
What do you mean by generic IMEI? Is it all 0s? Does this mean that it will no longer be detected as a smartphone?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sam.assad:
I just tried this method and it did work for me thank u :)

one Q is there any way to fix genric IMEI and keep unlock .

Edit: I restore my files from a back up and relock the phone ..went to ebay bought unlock code for about 8 dollars ..Done
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sigiloso:
I've done the same thing with another website -more expensive x-( (Fastgsm.com), although it worked.

The only problem though is that every now and then the phone asks me again for the network unlock code. This has forced me to carry a text message with the info on the phone. So far it has asked me 3 times the unlock code. Every time I input the same code received, every time it accepts it and gets unlocked. But I think this is strange, this is the first phone I had that this happens.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Ninj:
I'm very interested in this thread since i'm french, and about to buy a phone in the US to use it here, in France.

If i understand well, the trick for unlocking it by file deletion is a bad idea since generic IMEI are not too well accepted on french networks, and when you buy an unlock code, it keeps prompting you sometimes.

My other option is the myTouch 4G Slide, so i'd probably better go for it ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] d0nat0:
you can unlock mytouch 4G Slide easy, but be warned some models have issues with wifi not being able to turn on unless on carrier rom. i know because i have one.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
That shouldn't be a big issue, you can reuse the same unlock code to unlock the phone if it ends up re-locked. It's only a problem if you buy the phone pre-unlocked, in which case you won't have the original unlock code to reuse.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hazard1nc:
You can always call at&t or whoever it is that sold your model phone and request the unlock key and not pay for it as it was passed in the united states Congress that all our phone companies must give us that code freely if they sell us a phone and we are unhappy with their service, it is only by law your right to choose whom you gain service from if you are buying the phone.. that is why I have to feel sorry for you who don't know that you can have your key for free.. they don't mention that they have to but they have to by congressional law give you that should you request it..

It's indeed not such a problem, but having to enter a code once a week kind of annoys me much ;)

Is it only with some models? Or is it often the case? Nobody found a fix for that yet?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
It relocks everyweek? Or only when you flash something?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
It certainly shouldn't be relocking every week, the only posts I've seen mention it relocking are after flashing something.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] MarrkDaviid:
Thanks for the procedure, it worked on a Rogers variant of the device. The IMEI number has been changed, though the device is connecting to Australian mobile carriers without any issues (have tested Optus and Telstra).

Has anyone tried flashing ICS firmware on the device after doing this procedure? Would flashing different firmware on the device undo this unlock? I am not sure whether or not these files get changed when the device is flashed.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pm2gonzales:
I did this BEFORE I flashed ICS and it is still unlocked. Just make sure you kept a backup of the IMEI files just in case.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Oh damnit....

This is the OLD method and SHOULD NOT BE USED. You should be using this method instead:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
This will likely be a controversial topic, but I'm going to risk it.

Also note that this is not meant to be a jab at kernel developers, or an attempt to lick CM developers' balls.

I have just been thinking. Custom kernels often claim an improvement in battery life or performance with their kernels. With Samsung ROMs, this is believable. The case of the fuel_alerted bug not being fixed with Samsung ROMs is an example that Samsung kernels aren't the best.

However, with Cyanogenmod ROMs you would think that the developers of CM would know best, since they *probably* work far more intimately with the code than custom kernel developers. Has anyone found an improvement in battery life with a custom kernel as compared to the stock CM kernel?

Now, I'm aware that custom kernels offer some features not found in the stock CM kernel, like how dual-booting is available for Siyah. But let's focus on battery life and performance for now.

Again, this is not meant to be a flaming thread. I genuinely wish for a conducive discussion on this topic. Lastly let me express my appreciation for both CM and Kernel developers, for devoting their own free time for our sakes.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for as an answer but a tweak i've used to give better battery performance is CPU FREQ_MIN. This is the frequency below which the 2nd core is not used. I don't believe you'd be able to use this tweak without a custom Kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logi_Ca1:
It helps, thanks :) Personally I would prefer to try to quantify battery life with different kernels myself. Most phone review sites choose to test battery life by looping a video, however I do not believe this accurately measures battery life.
