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.

Not too sure that it matters which one you get, so long as its standard USB out. I use one and change both the HD and also an iPod from it (at different times)
works a treat. Though, I think that HTC have their own plug which has a different wiring allowing for a faster charge.
Thanks for answering.
I see, the HTC charger is described as "fast charging device". Hm, now I have to decide wheter to have an additional cable or not.

Sorry, the link doesn't seem to be complete
Just a note/warning.
I have one of the generic car-to-usb port adapters where I use a normal USB lead and I use Tomtom on my HD and I have bluetooth enabled all the time for my car handsfree. When I use Tomtom and plug the phone in, it doesnt charge the phone, but the battery doesnt go down either. It seems that the charger I have can only just power the device with the screen/backlight always on, bluetooth and GPS. When I'm not using Tomtom and I turn the screen off when its plugged in to the car adapter it will charge the phone.
I dont have the specs to hand but from memory I think it outputs 5.2v at 1000mah, I'm going to have a look at the mains adapter I got with the phone and see what the rating is on there and look for something with a little more juice!
Car charger
I use one from www.brodit.com
The one with the cigarette lighter outlet.
Just navigate to HTC and Touch HD in the 'Devices' menu on the left.
edit: You will have to choose 'Products' from the top menu first.
I use an generic USB-Car-Adapter and the original HTC USB cable. This config will load the phone slowly when turned off, but doesn't deliver enough power if IGO2008 is running.
When the phone is fully charged and I have plugged it that way in the car, The phone is empty after about 5 hours. When not plugged, it takes about 2 hours to fully drain the battery (when IGO2008 and therefore GPS is running).
Please advice me what car adapter I can use that will give me enough power to navigate indefinitely.
Thanks
EDIT: I just found out, that my USB-Adapter has the specification of max. 500mA, The original HTC Charger has max. 2A. So I just gotta buy me a charger with 2A and it will probably work.

It should do as it provides 1 Amp. Normal car adapters only provide half an amp (500mA) and struggle with a Touch HD that is running Sat-Nav etc.

This is correct, It charges my 3GS 30%+ on a 30 minute journey with Navigon running.
I gues the official HTC car adapter must kick out more than 500mA as i never had issues charging with Satnav running.

For 1/5 of the price of the Belkin you can also order one from Hongkong.

It delivers 1000 mA and only costs $2.58.
Shipping takes about 2 weeks i guess, i ordered mine 7 days ago and I got an e-mail it is shipped and will arrive in approximately 7 working days from today.

I use a Tomtom one as I know the quality is excellent and it is properly regulated. It has a 1A output and charges fine with loads running on the phone, including the display at full brightness.
Also the charger should have the two data pins connected to each other as the phone sees this and lets its charging circuit pull the full 1 Amp, it does this to protect against overloading a USB socket on a PC or hub, those only give a maximum of 500mA.
Hi kaefert, how hot does your phone get while running GPS and car charger? Just curious. My 8282 is extremely hot.
Mine gets quite hot with charging and Tomtom, but not so hot as I would worry much!

Has anyone else used the PowerGen car charger with the Note? I have a handful of other ones that all claim to fast-charge devices, but apparently it only works with iPhones and iPads. But since the PowerGen unit is on the list, can I assume people have used it and confirmed it will give me a 1A charge rate on the Note? I need a charger that can keep up with the Note occasionally drawing 1.4 A or more (display 100% brightness, GPS, LTE, Bluetooth all active, running Navigation).
A quick search for "powergen" in this forum only brings up the above thread.
Works like a champ. My battery was charging at 1600mAh while streaming soundcloud and using navigation. Definitely does the job.
I am using my car charger for galaxy tab 10.1 (2.0 amp) and it is working much better than any of the 1 amp chargers I have tried, OEM, boxwave, etc...
I also use the GT 101. 110V charging brick, so when I travel, only one brick and two cables. My experience is that the 2 amp charger works really well and will charge the phone while using GPS full time, where the OEM charger and other 1 amp chargers either maintain charge, or slightly discharge.
Thanks for the confirmation! Of course, now I discover Amazon won't ship that to Canada, and amazon.ca does not carry it. :crying: I'd go see what TELUS has to offer, but I'm sure it will be A) expensive and B) not have dual USB ports, or perhaps not even a detachable cord.
If you do find one, also buy a charge-only usb cord.

Is that still needed if the charger itself correctly supports fast charging? The cord I use now is the one from my Touchpad. I get 1 A to the Note from the AC plug, and the Touchpad gets around 1.8 A. I do also have a charge-only cable (much thinner cord, only two wires), but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

The cord from the touchpad is probably wired correctly internally for fast charge. I bought a similar dual car charger and did not see a difference with the micro usb sync cable. I only saw a difference with a charge-only micro usb cable. The phone sees what pins are connected and determines if it is going to charge in usb charge mode(<=500ma) or AC charge mode(>=500ma).

So you use the Touchpad USB micro cable to charge your Note in the car? I thought the cable is too short? I am looking for a LONG USB micro cable that is shorted so it will give >500mA.
I am planning to buy the PowerGen but I need recommendation on the CORRECT USB cable that is long enough.

I don't think it is, because it also works as a normal USB data cable. If pins 2 and 3 are shorted (D+ and D-), then the cable become "charge only" and cannot be used for data.

Then it sounds like that car charger was an "iPad-compatible" one, i.e.: it does not have D+/D- shorted out to indicate to non-Apple devices that it is capable of more than 500 mA.

The cable is about a meter in length. I only need about half that to reach from the plug to the phone mount on the dash.

So then how does it charge fast then? If the cable isn't shorted? Motorola does the same thing. IIRC its a shorted setup to allow for fast charging. All of my USB cables come from Samsung, HP, and Motorola and I use them as data cables as well

You short the pins inside the AC adapter or car charger, rather than the cable. If I understand correctly, the danger of using a charge-only cable is if you plug it into an actual USB port that isn't designed to supply more than 500 mA. Your device could then try to pull down, say, 2000 mA and potentially damage the power supply on your laptop or desktop.

I'm using the Rocketfish 3.1A Model# RF-M657D with my Note. While using Google Nav, lowest brightness, keys backlight off, Sync off, HSPA+, the phone still loses charge (albeit, slowly). I'm assuming this is because the charger is not internally shorted between pins two and three as it is marketed as a iPad/iPhone charger. I'm using a Belkin Data/Charge cable so I know that is not shorted.
I have been doing some reading and last night, I purchased the "Satechi Smart Adapter Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S (I can't post links yet, google it.) so I will report back when I receive and pair it with the Rocketfish.
One thing I can't understand is how some of you have reported 1600mA from your car chargers. I am reading that without this adapter/cable mod, the Note will only run 460mA or so. With the adapter/cable mod, the Note's hardware maxes out at 960mA. Also, is their an app that allows me to see how much amperage the Note is receiving or are you guys pulling out the multimeter?

Where/how do you get this info? Asking because I'm curious to see how my car charger does. It has usb ports rated at 2A, and I think it's 2A shared instead of per port, but want to see how it actually does when plugged in.

From what I read, your charger is an .5 amp.
It's not like my phone dies or anything, but it'll lose like 5% an hour and I could be exaggerating. Are you using a charge-only cable or modded cable/charger at all? Like I said, I think this phone is only pulling down 460mA without said mod and I find 1600mA to be incorrect as I read the Note will only pull down 960mA max. We'll see what this adapter does for my charge times.

Make sure the charger is 2.1 amp...if its a 1 amp, the combo of GPS, data, and screen on will still kill it.

Yup, totally depends on the charger. Some cheap ones are only .5A and most are 1A, which probably still isnt enough when using GPS and screen on.

I had this problem starting all the way back on Galaxy Nexus - crappy chargers and cables do not provide enough power to run the phone and the screen. My research and trial and error on many chargers lead me to understand that not only do you need a good high power charger, you need a good cable too. I now run 18awg charge-only cables exclusively as well as a 2.1amp charger. This pair has worked on all my devices since including fast charging on my G2 and G3.
Note that a charge-only USB cable has the data pair shorted and will only work for charging - will not work for data transfer. However the wires inside are thick and work great cars or other situations where you don't need the cable for data.
This is what I use:

You can use the magnetic charger with a quick charge charger or any other charger and it will be fine.
I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger and have no issues, the device still charges full overnight and it's pretty quick, just not as quick as the OEM set up.
Ok I still have a quick charger from my Nexus 6, but don't know how it has scaled throughout the years in terms of what's considered "quick".
I used more then one year magnetic cable from Wsken on OP 5T. It has only charge, no data. And I have no issue, heating, damages. But in this case I don't have a supercharge. I have charge current about 1.3- 1.4 ampers.

If you use just the cable and not the OEM block it doesn't cause heating issues, I get heating issues if I use the OEM block with the wsken cable. It happens periodically so not sure what causes it.
If you use the Wsken mini2 +j OnePlus cable + wsken adapter dash charge will work. So will data transmission.

So you're basically saying that you got magnetic Dash Charge with this cables? Can you provide specs?

well, i don't have any exact specs or accurate data, all the specs i have are as per the weblink. the new version supports up to 5A. for me, the older version which i have supports up to 2.1A i think but works well for me. no fires or any hazards so far.
I don't think there is a dash charge wireless. All wireless chargers are slow, for now..
Help,
I have tried 3 different chargers (1 generic Anker, 1 supplied with Huawei P30 pro, and one supplied with Huawei mediapad tablet. none work
Nor does plugging into USB port on PC. I have tried various different cables to no avail. All cables work to charge P30 pro from its own charger @40 watts.
All chargers and USB port will charge the P30 pro
The only way I can get any juice at all into this bugger is by charging from the P30 pro directly.
I also noticed that the security update that installed last night took forever (roughly 4 hours) during 'optimising apps' phase.
Have tried factory reset too
I think I've got a dud

It sure sounds that way.

Mine wouldn't even charge when the phone was off. it would show the battery symbol with 'lightning' but wouldnt actually charge - you could see the battery level drop in this state
Google are not being helpful about getting a replacement or even admitting there's a fault yet. I might just send it back and get a refund

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

Blimey, that works. I'm a little annoyed I can't just plug it into my PC and slowly charge it overnight. but this saves the hassle of dealing with Googles useless support. Indeed the 'help article' I was directed to says to plug it into a PC as part of the fault finding.
Will anyone else's Pixel 6 (non pro) charge from PC USB connection??

It was probably a huge mistake for them to not include a charger with it.
yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

Don't believe buddy above. This is not normal. Every phone I've ever had with usb-c works with a usb-a to usb-c cable. It charges and transfers data just fine. I also use one on my car stereo to phone for Android auto. Your phone is a dud. Get a replacement.

The guy above didn't say it wouldn't charge at all with a regular charger or wire. He said for ***fastest charging possible*** you need PD3.

There is more than one guy above. The one I am referring to is quoted above for your viewing pleasure.
Hi, just to confirm, my Pixel 6 will only charge from USB-C charger. I was hoping if someone could confirm whetehr theirs charges from a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable.
I admit it doesn't sound right that this won't work
Thanks

Mine charges without any issue at a PC with USB-A to USB-C cable from Anker.

Mine does fast charge from the laptop USB-C connector, or even directly from the laptop power brick. The laptop is an Asus rog x 13 flow. If I am not wrong, in order to fast charge, your source has to support usb pd pps.
I'm sitting at work and my P6 charges just fine with a wall wart and a USB-A to USB-C cord. Not only that, but it's an LG wall wart that I have probably had since my LG G3 days (a long, long time ago). So even old power supplies will work.
If your phone isn't charging from a computer USB port, I suspect it is because of the amount of power being supplied by the laptop over the USB port. It's not a built in limitation of the phone however.

what should I see under battery settings?
I see charging rapidly with my 30W charger. The Anker charger reads PPS but I am not entirely sure it's PD 3.
thanks!

PPS is a standard that started with pd 3.0. Your charger is the correct one for fast charging.
so do we have any charger recommendations? the 3 i tried, after processing through AMERE, they are topping out at 15w-18w...
I just posted about one I think should work in another thread, should find out soon if I was right lol
