Will plugging the Note into my PC via USB cable also charge Note like my iP did?
Yes it does also charge the NOTE
It will, but remember that charging USB had a slower charge rate, and also depending what your doing with your phone while charging, it might actually not recognize its charging, because the output is greater than the incoming charge and your battery level will drop.
you can't rain on my parade, I'm on the road to my fairytale!!!
It will charge fine but at the slower USB trickle rate, like most devices.

how can u disable the usb charging? even if its in mass storage mode its keeps on charging.. pls help..
What's wrong with the phone charging?
Isn't it a good thing?
Charge properly
You wouldn’t think that there is a particular technique to plugging your Galaxy S 2 in to charge – and you’d be right. However, you should pay attention to when you charge. If you’re constantly topping up your phone’s battery whenever you get the opportunity, you won’t be doing it any favours.

Constant charging to 100% is actually bad for the battery, if you stop the charging at 90% your battery will live twice as long, with only a 10% drop in runtime.
I had an Motorola defy, and i am sure you could select not to charge the battery, when connected to your computer.
I'm also interested in the initial question...and my reason: if i connect my s2 with the mass-storage capable usb-port of a Samsung TV for viewing photos directly through the Media Player from the TV, i get an error from it saying too much current on usb because of the charging
so - how to avoid this?
A standard tv usb port does not provide enough power to charge the S2, you need a special adaptor that you plug you S2 charger into to provide extra power, see link below.
New Samsung TV`s don't know when, will provide more power to the usb ports so you will not need the charger in the future.

You guys are thinking of NiMh batteries, not Li+ batteries.
Li+ prefers a full charge, does not have a memory effect. If it stays at low power levels 10% it damages the batteries.
Li+ batteries have around 3000 to 5000 deep charge cycle, a deep charge is when you use to around 10% then charge.
It however has more than 2,000,000 micro charge cycles. Meaning you charge it at around 40%~80%
Battery has a cell life span, which means it is going to break regardless how you use it in 2 yrs time.
As for charging via TV, yes, you need a special cable, but that's for HDMI, not USB. The HDMI port is also the USB port on the phone. Standard USB Port supplies 5V 500mA, however, some Computers and Electrical Appliances with a USB port supply different amounts, depending on design.
Computers can supply 5V 1000mA, TVs might supply 5V but less than 500mA. Media Boxes might supply 5V but less than 500mA. Some USB chargers might supply 5V 1000mA but do not have signal in data+ data- lines, which causes the phone to lag while charging.
WIKIPEDIA KNOWS EVERYTHING. Wiki it, it will tell you it is true.. LOL!
so its oki if you plug the s2 to ur pc anytime and charge it anytime?
Pretty much.
I already got an adapter for connection via hdmi, but i forgot and tried to connect as mass-storage. Thought there might be a trick...
I've owned my Note for a week and have noticed only one issue. It will not charge with any other cable than the one that came with the phone. I bought a generic micro USB cable that worked perfectly with my Captivate but when I plug it into my Note it says it's charging but will either not actually charge or charge at an extremely slow rate (about 30% over 10 hours). I tried plugging the generic cable into the original charger and I get the same results. The phone wont even connect properly to the computer with any other USB cable. The problem is the cable that came with the phone is much too short for my needs. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
mines very slow to charge.....it take hours and hours to charge completely
Mine charges slower on aftermarket cables. My Skyrocket used to do the same thing and would not even sync, except with the oem cable and that was a common problem with the SR. So it is not a defect, but more of an oddity.

I've noticed the Galaxy S3 charges very slow via USB to comp, is that normal?
Would it be quicker via the power outlet?
I didn't think it was any different between the two though I haven't tried the outlet yet.
How do you charge yours?
Yes it is normal
Here is the internal settings for charging in S3:
-wall charger 1000mA
-USB charge 475mA
So charging your phone via USB should be longer than with wall charger
Thanks a lot mate. That makes perfect sense.
Silly me. Used to the old tablet having only a usb charger so I didn't know any better.
This SIIG INC - SYNC/CHARGING HUB AND READER FOR GALAXY TABLETS - CE-H21112-S1 gives you the capability to charge your Tab through a computer USB port. Seems to work pretty good used it last night. Checked the net prices vary per vendor.
when I plug into the pc usb port even though it shows as not charging after a while the percentage goes up, so it does d a slow charge. Does the hub give a faster charge?
charging via USB is very slow
you can switch it from data mode to charge mode.

charge mode allows a better charge rate.
I'm experiencing a slow charging experience through USB port @ my laptop as well, like at least one of the users mentioned up there... Does this allow fast charging of the battery?
When i want to charge my 7.7 overnightI usually do it thru USB. FYI slow charging is always best for the batteries.
Since i got my 7.7, i have never used the included 2000ma charger. I always use my old GNote's 1000ma charger to prolong the battery life of the 7.7 since it is not easily replaceable.

Late week i got my Samsung fast wireless charger pad
At first my device doesn't recognize fast wireless charging and not even show the toggle switch for turning on fast wireless charging..
It is simply says wirelessly charging but instead of charging..my note 8 drains battery...
I have the same issue. I wonder if our wireless chargers are to blame? I got mine from the Samsung/note 8 promotion.
Try a different USB cable. And what charger are you using?
what make and model is the pad? also if im not mistaken, fast wireless charging needs at least 10 watt/5v 2amp capable chargers.
also check for crappy usb cable, use an other one.
I in the past have found that most def the charge blocks and cables make all the difference in the world with the wireless charge.....
I will second these post
My Note 8 used to charge successfully on the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless station, but now it says it's fast-charging but it actually continues to drain. I have three chargers in the house, using the provided Samsung USB cable, and they continue to charge my Samsung S8 and S7, but the Note 8 does not charge successfully on any of them anymore.
