yeah maybe but the part is a couple dollars alot less time and frustration to buy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
yep, looks really easy. i just wont' be able to make it as pretty :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JudasD:
Yes, the trick i use is to short the two data lines going to the phone NOT towards the charging source. If you do not do this the phone will be in USB mode which will only allow a charging rate of .38A. This seems to be an android/usb standard across almost all vendors. once i short the data lines that is when the phone will go into full charging mode. The highest i can get the phone to go is 1A and this is even with the supplied Samsung 2A charger. I have also tried an iPad charger and it still only produced 1A to the Note II.

The Note II also seems to vary the input current based on how much battery is left. If the Note is very low (i.e. 50%) it will go into 1A. If the battery is high (i.e.95%), the current will bounce around. I have seen it start at .5A, jump to .8A, then to 1A, then right back down to .5A and it will continue there until it reaches 100%.

Bottom line i have not seen anything above 1A :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
at least one of the adapters on the other thread claims 2A, but i don't think i've seen anyone with those results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
this is a pretty ridiculous problem for samsung to do nothing about is it not? the notion that you can't even charge your note in the car is a bit ridiculous. i wonder if someone makes a kernal with fast charging enabled if we'll be able to get around this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
you can charge, just ridiculous slow. ;) i occasionally charge my galaxy note 10.1 on my computer's usb when i'm too lazy to whoop out the charger. i do it a work where i know i won't use it for 8 hours.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
You can't charge if you are intensively using the phone though. it loses charge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
Is there a specific car charger yet for the Note 2? I imagine this issue will be resolved with that charger.

People with the HTC Flyer/Evo View had similar issues. Unless we use HTC proprietary car charger, you lose power while plugged in. Standard usb chargers, charge it very slowly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twospirits:
I am using the PowerGen Dual USB 3.1A 15w High Output Car Charger since it claims to be a 3.1A charger. What I thought was a fast charge was in reality not. Using the Current Widget app (which shows you the mAh) it registers 9882 mA for one of the usb slots and 10005 mAh for the other using the Galaxy Note 1.

TS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
so does that charger actually charge your phone then ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] twospirits:
Yes, just like a regular 1mA wall charger, but not like the 2mA one that comes with the Note 2.

TS
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
weird thing is even when i have my charger that came with the note 2 plugged in it still says 1mA on the current widget when i have 73% battery. does it only use the 2mA current it can when really low or what i wonder? i guess this is the same as the other poster above said as well. either way this note 2 charges weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees177:
lots of research on this

So I have been doing a ton of research on this. I have come to a concusions that 99.9% of all 2a car usb chargers will only get you the 2a when using apple devices. As stated previously in this thread you can either mod the charger or the wire. A lot of problems arise when you do this like what if someone uses an apple device on the modded usb charger (a guest in your car) or if you use the modded wire on your laptop.

I have found ONE usb charger that is a dual 3.1 total output (1, 2.1a, and 1, 1.0a) from Scosche (GUSBC3) that was made specifically for android powered devices. Apple devices will not power it. With that said, I have ordered it and not tested it yet but from the reviews it works, though might not be a quality build so I will report on it further.

With that said if you go to sprint and say I need a car charger they will just reference you to a generic sprint charger, which I found was 800ma. I did ask if they had a 2a charger for the car and they did but it was only a single port and was very bulky, not to mention $40. If you dont want to mod I would suggest trying the Scosche charger, but since I ordered it you might as well wait to hear from me before you order it. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JudasD:
The issue is not the charger but the phone itself. You could put a charger that can output 10A and the phone will only charge at a level that it has been designed to. I would like to hear from anyone that is able to get a current above 1A on ANY charger. And please use true line measurements and not apps.

Thanks,

JD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees177:
This is untrue. There are two different usb charging standards used, one by apple and one by the rest of the world. Since apple has most of the power hungry products out there and has gotten them out first (iPAD) most car chargers are designed to work with that only. You CAN charge using the apple only "heavy duty" chargers however you will only get the phone to recongnize this as a USB charge and only 500ma of charge will be used (unless you mod the cable by shorting the green and white wires, or the usb charger by soldering pins 4 and 5 together to short that way). In this case, charging to get the 2a will require the mods or a usb charger that is designed to work with non apple devices.

You are true in saying that it doesnt matter what the amperage is, that the phone will regulate what max current comes in, however in this case, the way the units are designed for apple, they simply wont put out enough power no matter what amerage to power your N2 and be able to have it used (say as a gps or video player).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JudasD:
My statement is not untrue. What you have brought up is the method used for the phone to be in USB or charge mode. Once you get the phone into charge mode then the brand no longer matters. As long as your charger is the correct voltage output then your only worry is the current. I have used apple chargers, android chargers and my own test bench chargers on both AC and DC. The end result is that the phone does not accept higher than 1A in full charge mode.

JD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees177:
Your original statement made it seem like there was no difference in charging using an apple designed charger or one that was designed for non-apple devices (AC charging mode vs USB mode) which was a little misleading, because if you try to charge your N2 in a 2a output usb charger that is designed for apple you will only get USB mode (is really what I was trying to say). Yes a charger charges obviously and the regulators in the phone are the reasons for how the charge is selected (AC vs USB) however you cannot change the regulators in the phone and you can change the way the current is delivered by modding the charger (or cord). So really, this is ALL about the charger and not the phone since you cant mess with that.

Barnes and noble nook color car charger confirmed working! Stole my wife's, used it in the car tonight. Had waze running a route with traffic updates and such, screen always on, and Google music streaming via bt audio. Started at 76%, about 30 minutes later I was at 86%. Not too shabby! It isn't cheap though, I think 25 at the store. But it comes with an ac charger too, which I would think works the same, will try that tonight. I guess 25 for car and home isn't so bad...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
could you post a link to the exact one you have? trying to find it on amazon and there are a ton of chargers for the nook color
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bwillet:
They don't have it on amazon... http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/car-charging-kit/20093219?ean=9781616825737

I was wrong, only the car adaptor, which makes it damn expensive. I remember being POed when wifey bought it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeffokada81:
I was able to charge to my phone via USB from my computer which only outputs a max of 500mah. It charged about 5% in 30 minutes... I know slow but it still had a positive charge. In the past, my phones have stayed at a certain percentage of battery life while charging in my car but I would have GPS and navigation on.... Do you have alot of apps running using data? or gps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
Yep I explained it in the original post. But many are doing much less and not charging
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rcubed3r:
Any reason why this wouldn't work?

http://www.amazon.com/Arcadia-high-...IMP80C/dp/B00845NI8E/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I think I'll order one and report back. I won't have a Note 2 to test until BB gets them in though.....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] walord:
YES! When your battery is nearly full (or warm) it will charge at a slower rate it maintain longevity. The 2A is only used when the battery is low.

For car chargers I'm using the Sprint Dual Vehicle car charger in my wife's car and in my car I'm using the Griffin USB Dual car charger. I did research last year with my GS2 to make sure I had a good charger that could actually deliver 2A. Previously, I had a generic USB adapter which I had opened and modified to short the data +/- pins... I only switched adapters so that I could supply more than one device at a time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I bought two different car adapters that are both a total of 3.1 mah. I soldered the pins together to force the GN2 to register as A/C mode rather than USB mode in the car. I will use the current widget and test the voltages then report back to see if either charger will give up 2 Mah for the phone. Interesting thread.

Edit" In the play store for current widget it says" *NOTE: The electric current reading doesn't work on all devices. The reason is that the manufactures (mostly Motorola and Samsung) don't support this in the battery driver or in the hardware."

Anyone have another app that can read current accurately while charging?

Edit: I understand to check this when battery low as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
goddamn.... i can't find anything that works for me in my setup using mhl out on the note in the car while charging.

i got this in the mail today thinking surely it would work since galaxy tab and nexus owners said it worked for them:

http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-reVIV...170277&sr=8-5&keywords=galaxy+tab+car+charger

thus far its not working, unless it only decides to actually charge when its around 15% this thing is not working. i lose battery when driving around for like 20 minutes with mhl out to my appradio mirroring my phone.

it still says USB charging which must be the culprit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
I opened up my charger and soldered those two pins together. Now mine says A/C. But I don't know what the current is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] glynnad:
If worse comes to worse

You can always buy one of those adapters that turns your car port into an outlet, and then just plug in the normal plug to the adapter. It might be a little old school but if worse comes to worse its something to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hankbear:
I never could get my Epic 4G Touch to do anything but barely hold the charge at the same level when using the MHL adapter with my AppRadio 2. However, my EVO 4G LTE charged up faster than ever. Honestly, I was sort of glad to see it go when my car was totaled. It was more trouble than it was worth. So far, the Note 2 hasn't seemed to be so much of a battery hog that I've been worried. All the chargers I've used are charging it relatively quickly. I only use the 1A Motorola chargers in the car, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopefulfarm:
I will be very curious to hear your report, as this one claims to be good for Android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lepapirriky:
After reading all of this...pretty much there is no charger that will actually charge your phone up to 2a even if the charger says it does it doesnt and even if you short them it will charge your phone up to 1a and if you dont itll be half of that.

In other words, we are screwed with just a 1a charger WITH mod. Isnt samsung going to do anything about it? The wall charger that came with charges really fast tho
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
This is the one I ordered. It report A/C charging though the USB.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003RQBKLC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I still don't know of a current monitoring app for Android I can check with tho.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
with the Perseus kernel posted in original android development i have no problem charging now so that kernel definitely makes a big difference with its fast charging properties.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
No other problems at all using the Perseus kernel? Why isn't this a know fix? Are you possibly the first to discover it? Do you have a current measuring app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] aquaholik:
Probably the only surefire way to get fast charging:good:.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
e

well, since the kernel was just posted yesterday i'm not sure how many have tried it. it is supossed to include a higher charger rate on usb though and it definitely does. i've tried 4 different chargers and none of them would actually charge my note when plugged into mhl in my car. with this kernel these same chargers charge it fast even while using mhl, gps, and streaming google music so its a huge improvement.

i've had zero problems with the kernel and haven't seen anyone reporting any problems in the kernel thread either.

the current measuring apps don't report any difference, but then again it says right in the description that the current app doesn't work on samsung. with this kernel it definitely charges though no doubt, i started this thread and have been trying and buying everything. luckily i can send most of what i bought back now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] knives of ice:
yeah i have one of these one the way, luckily i should be able to send it back now. i already had a carcharger hardwired into my fuse box so i'm glad i can still use this setup.

once again, if you are using an android phone and have any interest in car audio the appradio2 from pioneeer with the appradio liberator app in the play store is absolutely amazing. you can mirror your phone with full touchscreen control on the radio.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ascian:
Looks like a lot of cheap Chinese product. Has anyone tried the Energizer (same as battery company) 10W chargers? They are 2amps and their other charging products are actually quite nice. I'd link but I'm too new for these silly forum rules.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopefulfarm:
The Energizer car ports I've seen are all being sold for Apple products.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
hmm... also made in china;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Well then. It's a done deal. I will just use this kernel instead of stock, and be happy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ascian:
They include an Apple cable, which doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy but you could still plug in your own USB cable. For me it would be worth it if it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Charge only USB cable

If you don't want to tear open a USB cable to short the wires and make it "charge only". You can always buy one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rcubed3r:
At around 70% battery, this charger is feeding 1mA to the phone, just like the wall charger is doing.

I'll try to run the battery level down and test again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samo_ak47:
Thanks for your comments and help. Could you let me knoe the setting you put into the perseus kernel app Stweaks to get fast usb charging and the ac charging to come up in battery settings? Do you use stweaks or something else? I have the same problem if getting mhl to charge in car with arliberator. It rocks apart from battery drain
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] locutus34:
dont use usb chargers they only put out 500 mah an hour so a 3.1mah battery thats 4 hours to charge wall charger puts out 2 amps max but i belive the internal chip only charges at 1.2 to 1.5 amps being that its programmed that high.. there is a way to go in with custom roms and tweek the settings to charge higher but you really dont want to do that.. use a travel charger at 2 amps that came with it.. and dont stick anything else but a phone on it... when you use 4 other things on one thing 500 mah x4 well thats like 50 mah its charging because it charges the other stuff too...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] samo_ak47:
Ive got this dual usb car charger than can output 2.1 amps to each port at the same time or 3.1 amps for apple devices. Forgot the name but it got good reviews from amazon. If the official samsung car charger can get ac mode in the car then ill get that. I use to use the franco kernel on my galaxy nexus and that worked like a charm and It got that phone to charge in ac mode and didnt drain. If I dont connect the mhl adapter I get ac but with the mhl I dont which is a a bummer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
sounds like you just have the same issue I do in that when you use a HML adapter, it draws enough power to not charge the phone. It just only slows the power drain. This has been experience when using it, even with the wallwort and cable that came with the phone. I use the generic HML from monoprice.

I haven't tried it the car, but since the wallwort charger puts out 2A, and I have chargers that output 2A and 2.1A, I don't seeing it being any different. I'm not willing to setup my 16" HDTV in the car; although I have cigarette AC inverter that would work.

The two questions that you need to know are: 1) how much power does the phone need when using HML, and 2) how much power does the HML adapter draw. There is one more possible one, is there a limit to how much power the HML adapter passthrough.
