Sure it's charging? Some wireless chargers show that it's charging but don't match the frequency and don't actually charge.

[Q] Note 4 Car Charging?

Hey guys,
I just plugged my note 4 into my car charger (anker charger, oem note 4 cable) and couldn't get it to charge. It charges my note 3 no problem.
I also have no problems charging my note 4 with wall chargers.
Any help?

I've got the "Anker® 18W / 3.6A Car Charger with Built-in Micro USB Cord for Android" and it's actually CHARGING my Note 4 when using GPS navigation and playing music! My Note 2 wouldn't charge, but it would hold charge under the same conditions.
What model charger are you using?

I actually can't find it on the charger itself or even Amazon. It's relatively new, I thought it was a 2.0/2.1 amp charger (2x USB). Definitely Anker though.

Are you using both usb's at the same time? If so, it's splitting the power, so you'll get a slow charge.

Sorry, I should have specified - the only thing plugged into the charger is my Note 4.
Shoot, maybe I just need to grab another charger. Thought I made a good decision with that Anker.
Thanks for your reply by the way

If you get the one I listed, it works for sure. Great charger and it's been the only one my wife hasn't been able to destroy. :laugh:

Will the car charger also do the 50% in 30min charging ?

No idea, but if there were to be one, I'd imagine that Samsung would have it first.

Hmm.. this mentions rapid charging, I wonder if it's as fast as the wall charger
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR

The only chargers that work with the new fast charging technology are ones that are purpose built and have the ability to switch between 9V and 5V,they are quite uncommon.

I have this charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it charges my note 4 while running Waze and tethering my Radar Detector via Bluetooth (which also uses GPS)....and it charges my wife's S5 at the same time

Using an afer market 2.1a charger and an S3 cable, charges just fine.

I believe Samsung has stated it's a 9v charger instead of the conventional 5v charger.

Did some more research and found this:
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/car-chargers/quick-charge-2-0-single-port-usb-charger.html#
From the Engadget review, "I clarified with Samsung that it chose a proprietary solution instead of licensing Qualcomm's QuickCharge tech, but it insisted that you could still use QuickCharge 2.0-compatible chargers to achieve the same results."
Also from http://www.samsung.com/sa_en/support/skp/faq/1063730?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170
[FAQs] Smart Phone : Galaxy Note 4- To use fast charging, what kind of charger should be used?
Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the
battery faster by increasing the charging power. The Galaxy Note 4
device supports Samsung’s Adaptive Fast Charging feature and
Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.
To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger
that supports Adaptive Fast Charging or Quick Charge 2.0.

Adaptive Fast Charging vs. Quick Charge 2.0

It appears like Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charge is in fact an equivalent of Quick Charge 1.0 but not Quick Charge 2.0.
Samsung's adapter outputs either 5V or 9V:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00071944/98120/SM-N910PZKESPR
Quick Charge 2.0 outputs 5V, 9V and 12V. It is confirmed by this photo of Motorola's Turbo Charger as well as exemplary page of some OEM quick charge 2.0 adapter:

Just a guess but I expect your need a bigger battery, like that in a tablet, to handle charging at 12 volts. As it is, I'm blown away by how fast this phone charges on the adaptive charger. Just wish I could get one for the car.

I couldn't agree more :highfive:

Yep, its a beast at charging, according to PhoneArena it remains the fastest charging phone around, so its Adaptive Fast Charging is doing an incredible job!

My concern would be what it does to battery life..can't help but think the lifespan of the battery will take a hit using fast charging all the time.

You could always buy a car power inverter and use the fast charging adapter with that.

My car has an a/c outlet; the real problem is just finding stock on the adaptive charger. Even then, don't much want a cord running to outlet in back seat. As for using an inverter.. D/C ports are in awkward places to use one in Explorer. Will make due until auto version is available.

Guys does anyone know if the below accessory is real?
Samsung Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 USB Car Charger [Part No: ECA-P20CWE]
Not sure if this is real as this is the only website that stocks this 'Samsung branded' charger. A google search shows similar items on Alibaba so I'm guessing this is fake.
Anyway I am going to buy this:

What do you mean you wish you could get one for your car? There are plenty of compatible models available for your car. This one has 1 quick/fast charge port and 3 regular 5v 2.4amp ports.

You are quoting a post from last October. Things have changed.

2.0 works the same?
I am planning a 900 mile hike and need to minimize weight since I will be bringing filming gear. I have purchased a light weight plug strip with Quick Charge 2.0 USB ports. Will this work the same as the Adaptive Fast charger for my Note Edge? Or will I still need to bring the little white USB/AC plug thingy?
Thanks!
Guess I'll find out when the plug strip arrives.

Checking if my charger is 2A?

The S5 supports 2Amp chargers.
I've bought one on Amazon but there are no markings on the charger to show whether it is or not.
There must be a way to check on the phone itself, whilst it's plugged in.
Any ideas?

The charger also must know the proper signalling protocol to tell its capabilities. I think that Samsung borrowed it from Apple Ipad, so the charger best be Apple compatible.
Samsungs charged at 2A, when there was no official Usb protocol for currents over 1,5A, and that with even older 2A chargers.

Get an inverter if your vehicle doesn't have an a/c outlet, and use the Samsung 45w adapter.

What I did was to use the power bank to charge the phone, meantime using car charger to charge the bank

is that quickcharge?
any 15w quick charger/ pd charger should easily be able to go 'positive' charge with gps and bluetooth on .

so any recomended one that will do the job?

I use this as it does charge at 18w
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KM3CJST/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I need this as my Honda S2000 doesn't have a BT radio so I use this to broadcast. Plus I use one of the USB-A ports to plug in my wireless KENU vent mount charger as well. It's been a great device. If you don't need the radio option then get an AUKEY PD 2.0 car charger, I have 2 or 3 of them because they are so good.

Is there a way to confirm if it's really charging at 20w?

I do not measure, but if you use red usb port, than really quick charging. My previous charger was 10W and if compare than this is much more quicker.

I'm thinking this would probably be the fastest car charger out there. Which us a 120W UL Listed CPD2-B Universal PD USB-C Car Charger

What type of inverter would you suggest? I have an extra 15w oem Pixel charger and I would like to just buy a cheap small inverter. What would be wrong with something like this:

I can't say for sure because they just takes me to a sign in page I can't dismiss, but it's hard to imagine any inverter that couldn't handle the job. Just look at the watts rating on the inverter and make sure it's greater that 15.. at least 25 probably. Also, that inverter says 220v so if it isn't switchable to 120 make sure the adapter runs on 220 as well.

at that point why not just get a PD car charger? They are pretty cheap.
Also I'd never trust buying any electronic from wish lol.

Totally correct in both points! The only point in using an inverter, especially if you didn't already have one, would be to enable using the 25w or 45w adapters, which aren't available as car chargers yet.
