While traveling I was using the gps (coPilot) with my bluetooth on, (just for calls) and was getting low on battery!
So... Naturally I plugged in the charger! Guess what! Battery drained nonetheless!
Has anyone else seen this? I have the screen brightness to the lowest setting... But to no avail!
I apologize if it's been covered before, but just looking to see if anyone else had this issue and any suggestions on making that battery not run down while plugged in!
Thanks everyone! Oh, and yes I have a second battery for these occasions!

Yes. covered before and many people see this. May be worth tying a 1amp or higher charger.
Also, if the phone gets too hot, it will stop charging.
I have the same thing... Its just don't charge however it maintain the battery at whatever level it was.. This is simply fixed by getting a higher amp charger
Thanks everyone will get a higher amp charger...

Are any of you guys with problems using the Samsung Cardock , or
are those chargers "random" chargers of other phones ?
my official samsung charger that came with it has decided to pack in after a month of use, it no longer charges at the rate it used to of about 24% an hour and im lucky to get about 5% an hour now. I've tried my old hd2 charger (same 5v 1a output) and it charges without any issues
samung make crap chargers
That's what I think the issue is, I'm using a generic charger and it's not pushing enough juice!
Gonna pick up another charger soon and report back.

I got a 1A car charger with my mount which works ok (cheapo chinese says 1A). I think any car charger with a USB slot which says 'Ipad' would work better, IIRC the ipad needs ~2.2A so it would have plenty of juice.
I've got various car chargers, one at 850mA, one at 1A and one at 2.1A. None of them charge the Note while using sat nav (Copilot) even using night mode (dark backgrounds to maps) and dimming the backlight in between junctions. I've tried the USB lead that came with the Note and a lead from another phone. No improvement.
The phone shows Charging AC because I have the central pins shorted on the chargers, but even that is not enough. I'm thinking the only solution is to buy a proper Samsung charger, which might have some other trick up its sleeve for getting the Note to draw sufficient current.
I have just switched from using co pilot to another satnav app and the phone now charges faster. I knew co pilot was juice hungry. ...

Oh and another thing ,I don't use Google currents anymore either .its nice but I had on my old phones and THAT APP IS A BATTERY SUCKER FROM HELL !

OK some research ...
1.the charger is fine that comes with the nexus! It charges average. Roughly 6 -7 hours to a full charge
2. Note 2 charger is about the same with nexus charger with charging time. Maybe barely faster!
3. With original charger: I'm easily ,constently on my nexus playing videos, downloading, browsing,etc!its not hurting my charge and not decreasing any charge time. I wanna say its partial blame to a certain app called GOOGLE CURRENTS! Without disabling it, constantly runs background and killing battery. Have GPS on google maps constantly running background killing some juice.
4.nfc turned off as I wouldn't use it. I'm sure this is helping my battery
I did just get my nexus 32 gig on the second batch when they became available again on google play. Could there be a bad 1st batch considering the stuff I'm reading on complaints ,possibly. I can only compare my old galaxy tab 10.1 wifi 32 gig to my new nexus and both battery charge times about on par with each other. Galaxy tab edges out barely on time and lasting juice.
Take my observations for what it worth ...just my experience with this tab

I am just using my note 2 charger. Before I did I made sure the ratings were the same so I knew there were identical. I once tried charging my note 2 with an older charger and it was SLOW.
I've only charged the N10 once but my time from around 2% to fully charged was consistent with what had been reported as normal here.
So do the chargers for the Nexus 10 and the Galaxy Note II have the same ratings\amperage output? The reason I ask is that I have a UK Note II charger but a US Nexus 10 charger and here in Ireland the UK one works without having to go out and buy an extra adapter. I would ideally like to use the Note II charger to charge the Nexus 10 without having to go an pay for an adapter, I would rather spend the money on a nice case for the Nexus 10
Cheers,
M

Look at the Amp rating on note ii charger.
If it's 5v 2A, it's the same thing, and will charge nexus 10 equally. If it's less, it's slower.

Thanks dude, it's exactly the same Amp rating as what is on the Nexus 10 charging block so it looks like this is what I will use going forward! Could not be arsed spending money on a European plug adapter when I could spend it on a Pogo charger
All the best,

How long does your phone charge from low to full? Mine is around 2 and 1/2 hours maybe? Im using my Nokia 808s USB charger though. havent tried charging it with the included white charger, cable is too short for me.

Hi,
What is your charge time?
Mine is 2 to 2 and a half hours.
Which battery and/or charger are you using? After coming from the S2 I have noticed a large decrease in charging time with my S4, so this is very surprising to me.
Well I tried charging from my computers use port at work today only rise 20% in 2 hours

Well, laptop's USB port is not a charger - it's too weak for such a large battery.

...*facepalm*. You're not using original charger and you're complain that the one you use doens't works so well? Do you know that original charger is pulling 2000mA out, while your usb-port is pulling between 300mA and 500mA (depends if it front or back usb-port and the quality of usb port). Do the math, 2600mAh battery and 300mA / h. Full charge should take: 2600:300 = more than 8.5 hours.
With original charger S4 recharges from 0 to 100 in 1h 49minutes. If you take a solar charger it will charge even slower (like 48 hours for 0-100%).
Next time try to use your brain before complaining.

Your Samsung power brick has the cable physically attached to it? If not, you can just use a longer cable with the Samsung power supply.
The included power supply is 2 Amps, whoever is getting long charging times, make sure you use either the original Samsung power supply, or comparable in amperage supply.
Mine charges in 2 and a half hours.
Mine takes 2 to 2.5 h to charge from 0 to 100 percent. You should only use the new white charger, it's more powerful than the black one from s3, it's output is 2.0A ,old one is only 1.0A. Newer use other chargers as they may mess up your battery or phone.

I have to check the amps but based on google the Nokia Charger is at 1.3 Amps. I need to remind myself to switch the short Samsung to longer Nokia cables.
Is it safe to get a higher Amp charger, the one that the iPad uses to charge my S4? No drawback execpt for a faster charging time right?

Take it this way, grilling meat takes for example 45minutes to cook completely. You take it to some powerful furnace like 2000degrees for 5minutes then what do you expect from it to give you back? Well cooked meat or some burned meat outside and maybe raw inside?

put it this way... the s3 comes with a 700ma charger. it charges a bit slow. and has a 2100mah battery.
the s4 comes with a 2 amp charger. thats 2000ma. it doesnt charge slowly if you use this charger. i personally am going to pop it on this charger when i get home from work and then keep it on my 700ma charger overnight... no reason to waste that powerful output, it will simply waste electricity.
make sure:
1. you use the charger that came with it
2. you use a cable thats as long as (or shorter than) the stock charging cable. longer usb cables tend to charge the phone slower.
also keep in mind usb ports charge any phone slowly. the s4 will charge even slower on them because the battery is oversized compared to most.
I'm using note 2 charger and if I surf Web while charging, literally it is not charging at all.. battery is not going up or down.. Note 2 was not like this.. i could charge battery even if I play 3d game..

wow... what a science expert... first time i heard that longer cables charge slower... LOL
u funny dude.. there is no such thing like that buddy!
its just a software issue. S4 is just released and the chipset is very new. u people should wait for sometime...its a matter of few firmware releases from samsung for S4 and all the issues will be resolved. just like the latest issue resolved the over heating issues.

USB is too low a voltage to charge a modern smartphone all that quickly, my S4 take 2.5 hours roughly to full charge on the stock charger.

Voltage is exactly the same. It's amperage that you're thinking of.

Nexus 7 is charging extremely slow. I have to turn it off and charge only then will it charge and takes about 2 days to charge. I tried. Searching but can't find a definitive answer or for sure so any help would be greatly appreciated

You didnt tell how old is your Nexus. However:
- Check your charger. Try to use another one. So easy.
- Check the mini-USB socket on your Nexus. This should be the issue in most case. Try to use a dock to charge your Nexus if available.
- May be the battery problem, if your Nexus is too old.
FYI, my Nexus 7 only takes 2.5h to be fully charged.
I bough it from. Somebody used around 2 months ago he said it was 4 months old. I have stock asus charger I use. I have no other charger. How and what. To check in mini USB socket? I i dont have a dock and can't afford one. Mine takes about 2 to 3 days to charge while off and battery. Dies out. In stand by mode. In about 3 days while wifi on only yet still screen is off

For the Mini-USB - is the cable loose? Does it move in the socket and not get a good connection? That's what was wrong with mine when I was having those issues. The cable didn't make good solid connection in the ASUS charger or in the Nexus port. I tested it with a different cable and charged fine.
change the charging cable
buy a better quality charging cable ... for me that was the problem with the slow charging
Thanks for help guys

My note 3 use to charge pretty fast, but over the past few days I noticed it takes a long time to charge when plugged into the wall. My n2 was on 5% and within 40 mins it was up to 85%..i did root it and a few other things..does anyone else have this problem lately? I have searched and only found one thing, his problem was with a mac..

Are you using the original Note 3 charger? If I reuse my Note 2 charger which is close in specs at 2A 5V it does a super slow trickle charge that's way slower than even a Samsung 0.7A 5V charger. No issues with the original Note 3 charger so far.
If you have the time, a slow charge is always better.

For the other guy/discussion.
When you use the note3 charger, take a look in the battery status, do you see USB or AC ?
If USB try to wipe the cache. (power up the phone with power + volume up + menu button)

hey p2o8wer, I think I was the other guy you were referring to haha. I had the same problem but it went away after I unrooted. The note 3 charges super fast when plugged to the wall outlet (1-2 hrs from 20 to 100% i think) using the provided charger now. I also don't use the phone while its charging. Hope this helps.
