His opinion is supported by folks that have tested them. See a few of the threads that the OP should have searched for.

OP, search around a bit instead of starting a bunch of new threads.

Lol. Sorry. I've done my research. Heck buying a charger from any big OEM is golden. But apple and Samsung take the cake.

I've had better success with aftermarket than OE about 75% of time. Hence why I said it's more opinion based. Just like my Anker 3100 is better than the Samsung battery 3100 that came with the note 2.

99% of reviews anywhere are based upon the customers experience/opinions. Apple chargers always sucked for me. HTC chargers had many issues in the past.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
I am not talking about reviews. I am making my suggestion based on science and comparisons to other chargers and knockoffs from china. If you're buying a flagship phone, buy a flagship charger. And a good USB cable. Cables make a hell of a difference in electronics that can accept more than 500mah charging.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XxLostSoulxX:
I never said a knockoff I said after market those two are completely different I am talking about anker verses a knockoff generic. I will use a different charger that is an aftermarket and I typically use the Samsung cable that came with the phone or my heavy duty black berry cable simple as that.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] baghdade:
not safe??

is it safe to charge with more than 2 amp ???

i dont think its safe
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
I am talking about all chargers in general. OEM chargers are better than the belkins, tankers and whatever. I read a couple very good articles about how good or bad chargers are. The ones that come with our electronics are usually the best. USB cables vary, sometimes even within the same models. The Samsung and apple chargers are really the best value when you consider longevity, heat, reliability and some other factors I am not qualified to explain.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KEYofR:
Yes perfectly safe.

Amps (current) are drawn/pulled, not pushed. More amps in a charger just means your phone can draw more without burning out the charger. It does not mean that the charger pumps out more than your phone can handle.

Volts are different. Too much or too liitle volts are harmful but all usb chargers are the same 5v so don't worry about that.

Lastly, unfortunately the different manufacturers have created different special schemes to trigger or allow devices to exceed 0.5 amps (to prevent a high draw device from trying to pull 2.0 amps out of a 0.5 amp usb port and burning out a usb port or possible even all usb ports on your expensive laptop!)

So, merely having a charger that says 2.1A on the side isn't enough by itself. You will still need to try differnt cables and try different models of chargers and even different kernels if you are rooted, or refer to reviews where the reviewer covered this explicitly instead of just saying "It worked great" which is a meaningless waste of everyone's time.

For instance there was another thread about chargers where they found that on a 2 port model that has one port labelled Apple and another labelled Android or just unlabelled, they found that they actually behaved different. The Apple port was 2.1A and the Android port was only 1.0 or 1.5A, yet a GN2 charged faster on the Android port. Because the GN2 didn't recognize the Apple port as being capable of high current, at least not with a standard cable, and so the GN2 was only pulling 500 or 700 ma, while on the Android port it pulled 1.0 or 1.5A.

So you really need reviews and testing that takes all this into account and specifies actual charging times and that make and model of the usb cable used etc. Or just buy the official stuff from Samsung which is all garanteed to match and work as expected without having to know all that unsuspected stuff.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joecool73:
I have quite a bit of cells and tablets, who doesn't, but I also have quite a few rc cars and helis. All the battery's we are using are Li-on although I use a ton of lipo (lithium polymer) on my rcs. Ive built packs, soldered connections, I charge 6 batteries in parallel, etc. I have a 530 watt adjustable 18 Volt 30 Amp PSU connected to a 400 watt 18 volt 20 amp balance charger. Granted if your not in the rc world this would be overkill for sure just to charge your cell battery. Point is you can charge any, repeat any Li-on or lipo battery at 1 C. . 1C is the capacity of the battery. All of my lipo rc battery's can be charged at 5C. That means 5 times the capacity of the battery. In our case the note 2 battery is 3100 mah or 3.1A for short hand notation. So if you have a big enough charger like I do, you can safely charge it at 3.1A in an hour. Some of my bigger packs are 6S 30C 10A packs. That is 22.2 volts 30C discharge rate and 10Amp or 10000 mah capacity and 5C charge rate. If your not familiar with the above jargon no matter, the OEM Samsung charger with the OEM usb cable that comes with it puts out 2.1 or 2100mah per hour or 2.1A . Our stock OEM batteries are 3100 mah or 3.1 A. So they will fully charge in about 1 1/2. Ive timed it several times and that is pretty accurate. This is with the phone being off not on while charging. It will take a little longer with the phone on while charging, about 2 hours. Hope this helps.

ANKER

The Anker 5-port wall charger is the best one that I have found. If you are like me (work phone, personal phone, work ipad, personal tablet, and ipad mini for my 13 yr old) then you are probably constantly looking for chargers around the house. My first attempt at solving this problem was with the Best tek wall charger. I have attached pictures below. The Best Tek was way too big and bulky. while it did get the job done, it was a complete eye sore. After that, I bought the Anker 2- port charger that someone else spoke of in this thread. While this was effective, I could only attach two chargers to it. Finally, I got the Anker 5-Port charger. This is not too big, and will charge five devices simultaneously. Hopefully, you can tell from the pictures that the 5-Port charger from Anker really is a decent size. Also, it has a total maximum output of 5Amps. This means that you can charge 5 Android phones at full speed, or two ipads and an android phone at full speed,etc... I am sure you get the picture. There are two ports that will charge at 2.1 amps, two ports at 1 Amp, and one port at 1.3 Amps, which is common for many Android Tablets. I am so far very pleased with this charger and it is pretty inexpensive on Amazon at $16.99. I hope this is helpful, Dnob. The link for Amazon is

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Hands down - Monoprice!

http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=28awg+usb - 28awg thickness of power wires will guarantee 2A current.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thrgk:
Is this a good choice? It'll be a good charging and data cable ? http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=9761&seq=1&format=2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Sorry, I provided a wrong link in my previous post. You need to look for 24AWG wires in usb cable.

Look into this link here: http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=24AWG+usb and select a cable you need (length and color). All those cables have 24AWG power wire. Here is a chart of AWG vs Current Rating: http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm - you will need 24AWG to get constant 2A of current (including de-rating).

So any pretty shiny glossy usb cable will not charge your phone at max speed because wires will not be able to handle that much current. PC usb cables are designed for 500mA of current and made with thin wires. You need thick 24AWG rated wires to guarantee full 2A and maximum charging speed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thrgk:
this look ok? for a note 2. Nice black wire, and is 24awg so should be good. These work as data cables as well right? just like the samsung out of box one u get?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Absolutely, these have thicker 24AWG power wires and 28AWG data wires, and gold plated connector.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Can you please share your experience with issues? I mean, I'm speaking from my own personal experience of using those exact cables for 3+ years at home, at work, and in a car. These never let me down, still high speed charging and reliable data transfer, and even micro-usb connector still has latch hooks like brand new. I know that lately Monoprice became like a generic store licensing left and right different cases, accessories, screen protectors, headphones, etc. But they are well known for cables, our IT department only uses monoprice stuff, and pretty much everybody I know buys their usb cables.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] testrider:
I ordered Monoprice 24 AWG cables and their 2.1A wall charger. The cables were fine, but their

2.1A charger only provided 1.2-1.3A as showed by Galaxy Charging Current app.

When I plugged the same cable into a Samsung 2A wall charger, I saw 1.7A.

I got a replacement as I thought it was the charger. They sent me another one and it was the same.

Side note:

I have a 'USB power monitor" (as reviewed by Vectron here). When I plugged it in to the Monoprice

charger, Galaxy Charging Current showed 0.8A. Removing the USB Power Monitor, it showed 1.2A.

Why is that? It's weird. (tried it with the Samsung 2A charger, with or without the USB Power Monitor,

Galaxy Charging Current showed 1.7A)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] @rbiter:
Power monitor either needspower and its stealing it inline or it is not registering the amperage of the charger and the power monitor being inline is throwing off the amperage.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] testrider:
Of course it needs power, but not 500mA. The discrepancy showed only with the Monoprice charger. Funny thing was, with Monoprice charger and USB monitor, gcc showed it connected to USB. Without USB monitor, it showed AC charging. Again, this discrepancy did not exist with the stock Samsung charger.

2. Why the Android OS needs the battery stat file to determine the battery status?

mates,

having some issues with the bluetooth function in my laptop and i'd appreciate it if anyone can give me some tips on what to do.

i bought a difusi bluetooth dongle (via usb), installed the software and everything worked fine. activesync was working great, remote display, pocket tablet, etc...in other words all apps using bluetooth worked flawlessly.

last week my laptop was reformatted; it was already using windows xp but we had to have it reformatted to accomodate a new software to be used in the office. anyway, so i reinstalled all the apps i use like audiograbber, etc, and of course difusi bluetooth.

strange; a window kept popping up saying something about the windows xp logo compatibility; which could explain why the app wouldn't work properly?? sure i was able to install bluetooth; but i can't seem to get activesync working anymore. aside from this; the guide for bonding the xda2 and the laptop shows that the first window to configure is "my bluetooth places"...i can't access this anymore. clicking on the icon on my desktop; nothing happens.

i searched around the internet and came upon an article saying that you needed the windows xp service pack 2 (sp2). did that via windows updates; removed the bluetooth software, reboot, reinstall and still the app doesn't work right.

any tips would be much appreciated.

cheers

robson
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
almost solved

okay, after extensive research and web searching both in the forum and the internet; i finally found out what was wrong with my windows xp. apparently after my laptop was reformatted i'm now using windows xp sp2. i've been reading a lot of posts and apparently sp2 isn't as good; the recommendation was to go back to sp1. which i did; and finally i was able to access "my bluetooth places". everything is okay so far; the screens that i wanted to see came up.

however; my problem now lies in the com ports. i followed the guide in syncing the xda with the laptop; the first part is to take note of the port corresponding to the bluetooth serial port. fair enough. the next one is to configure activesync so that both of them will have the same com ports.

now here's where my problem starts. the bluetooth configuration shows that the com port used is 15; while that of activesync only uses com port 1 or 3.

my questions is; how do i change either com ports from either applications so that i can match them?? i've been trying but so far the drop down menus for com ports doesn't allow much.

cheers
