Hmm thought the usb cable unplugged from the wall charger so it could be used on a computer. At any rate I have noticed that my Kindle charger works great on my Defy.
I used the charger of an HP Touchpad with 2000 mAh instead of the 800mAh of the Defy charger and would say it charges much faster. Unfortunatelly i "had to" sell the HP Touchpad with its charger and i am looking for another good USB-Charger. In the past i bought one from ebay for not much more than 1€ but it only has 500mAh i am thinking about this one "from HTC" with 1mAh
ebay.com/itm/170738630232[/url]
This one is listed with 2100mAh: ebay.com/itm/170767447174
I believe that you think on output current. That is mA, not mAh. And ofc that it chargers faster, just like you eat faster with bigger spoon
hello cickvoa,
you are right, it is mA, because milliampere per hour (mAh) is for battery's capacity and not for output currents. i hope everyone knows what i mean.
on the other hand i guess that the charging unit is also a factor the charging speed depends on. is it possible that a too high output current could damage the phone?
is anyone able to suggest a good charger with a current >= 1000 mA?
regards ladiko
It is not possible do damage charging unit, cause it will take current that needs. For example: USB on PCs is 5V/500mA (500mA is MAX current that source (USB) gives), and when you plug mouse it takes only 100mA. So, charger with 2A output is MAX, and defy takes less current
Hello to everyone!
I have one simple question: do I risk something if I charge the Note with another charger than the original one?
I don-t know, but I think no.
I charged many time my note with htc charger and gs2 charger.

I almosr never use the original charger. I use the charger that came with the bluetooth headset and everything is fine
It doesn't matter what kind of charger you have. The only thing you must look at is the voltage of the source (5V DC) and it must be a micro usb plug

im using my old htc hd2 charger as the samsung one seems to have packed up and isnt charging properly
The easiest way to charge your Note is of course via a USB>Micro USB cord plugged into a laptop or PC (where you are guaranteed the voltage is correct), however if you are using a generic or knock off wall wart charger than provides a micro USB connector there is some small chance that it will not charge your Note.. look for the charging icon and if its not charging, toss the charger and get another.
There is no specific risk to the device, provided that it (the charger) has a micro-usb intended for charging generic devices..its just that some modern portable devices have a stricter requirement (tighter tolerance) for charging voltage and simply will not charge outside that voltage range.. my BB9930 does exactly this..

Since all micro/mini usb chargers have the same voltage, and vary only in the power output - the only problem you could face is slow charging, or no charging at all if the charger doesn't have enough juice. But it certainly won't harm the phone.
I'm using my old Nokia N900 charger without problems
I'm using an old HTC mains-to-USB and a Nokia microUSB cable...
My stock charger has a slight squeal, so I usually use the charger for my BB Curve 9300. Does totally fine.
My Note was purchased from expansys UK but shipped in from mainland Europe. As it was to be sold in the UK, expansys had to supply a UK adapter rather than an EU one ...I received an HTC adapter with my phone. At first, I was worried, but discovered that it works beautifully with my Note. Charges faster than generic Samsung chargers too! You should be fine using another standard charger

For the first 3 weeks I was using a blackberry (original) Bold II charger.
I noticed charge time was too long. And maybe even battery life was shorter.
Im not 100% sure about the second statement but the first is confirmed.
When I started using the Note charger it was faster. Not super fast compared to iPhone or iPad but faster than using the Bold charger.
I never use my samy charger..Im using my DHD charger..no problem at all..

Most modern USB chargers should be fine (I use my old iPhone charger for the Note, for example.) Watch the power output though - some tablet chargers are rated at 2A+ and that could overdrive your charging circuit and cause damage. If you make sure your charger is about 1A (and 5V, obviously) then you should be fine.

Well emuX said it all!
1A of output and 5V and you are fine!
Actually the charging current is limited by internal resistance of the battery, so the battery effectively "accepts" charge. Charging current is not "pushed" in by the charger...
obviously a charger from say a BB is likely to be current limited and so longer charging times would be expected, but an iPad charger will work fine.

I wouldnt worry too much, I charge my note with my iPhone charger purely because the USB port faces a different way so I can actually fit it on my plug extensions without loseing 2 sockets.
Pretty much anything with an output of 5Vdc and a minimum of 1A will do just fine.
I tried calling Google Play device support. They said they don't replace chargers, and I should just use a standard micro USB cable and wall charger. The problem is, I have not been able to find a 1.2 Amp charger of any kind. Anything lower will charge the phone more slowly, and from what I understand, unless it's properly shorted out (I think), anything higher will not necessarily work properly with certain devices.
Can somebody please help me find a good replacement charger that won't charge the phone more slowly than the one the phone came with?
I believe Ipad chargers do 2amps, or try a 1amp charger since i haven't seen more than 880ma from my battery widget when charging it.
What about this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073FCPSK/
USB Port 1 (Designed for Apple products) Compatibility
iPad @ 2 Ampere Max.
iPhone / iPod Touch @ 1 Ampere Max.
Others phones / GPS / Tablet etc. @ 0.5 to 1 Ampere Max. (May not support charging of some devices)
USB Port 2 (port close to LED, designed for non apple products) Compatibility
iPad @ NOT Compatible
iPhone / iPod Touch @ 0.5 Ampere Max.
Others phones / GPS / Tablet etc. @ 1 to 2 Ampere Max.
Would the non-Apple port work?
Somebody mentioned this to me on another forum: you gotta be careful with those dual chargers. sometimes the higher current port is limited to apple devices (i think they have a couple pins in the cable shorted)
What exactly does that mean? The product I linked to, does it have this problem?
Disregard, forgot what section I was in!
Just do what was suggested at LL.
that was not helpful at all. I made a topic here for a reason, LL was being completely unhelpful

No it's not gonna hurt the battery. The phone (or better a battery controller) controls the current that reaches the battery. So no matter how powerful a charger would be it will not charge above a certain current.

The phone is only going to pull as much current as it can and needs so a larger charger isn't going to make any difference

Nokia AC-10x is 1.2A, it's a good quality charger.
Disappointed that the xperia z5 charger only has an output of 1500mA. I've read on forums where some xperia z5 owners were given the 1800mA (I think) out of the box. My previous Samsung Galaxy S4 had an output of 2100mA so I'm wondering if I used that charger can the xperia z5 take advantage of the extra mA?
Nope I had to use another charger to get the fast charge up and running
Still with any fast charger i get 1600ma to the z5, while my s5 juiced 1800ma

Ampere from play store.
I use that also I think to make a claim like that you need to take all scenario like the phone will drop rate the more it's charged. Mine currently says 1560mah but max is 1610mah that's starting at 77% it would slow down again at 80% I also think that software tests will never be 100% accurate just like all these software benchmark tests that are available.
I think what I'm trying to say without offending anyone is the stock sony charger would be able to achieve 1800ma
Also things to take into consideration is things like if the phone is on and what apps are also using battery

Can you tell me what the specified output is on your charger? Mine has 1500mA so I doubt you can pull 1800 if it's not designed to do it. My question is that can the Z5 take advantage of a 2000mA charger from Samsung or any other manufacturer.
Ah I apologise I don't actually have a new charger only an older charger I'll have a look at the rating later. It would however accept the Samsung charger I'll have a dig around for the ratings in the data sheets

I'm going to use my old samsung galaxy s4 charger in that case. I have no idea why Sony is supplying a mediocre 1.5A charger. Even the 1.8A is still too slow for the current size of batteries in smartphones
I didn't even get a charger with mine as O2 are too cheap to provide one.
I'm using Samsung S6 fast charger and LG G4 normal charger.
Fast charging works very well.
I actually use a Blackberry 2.0 Amp charger, and it definitely charges all my phones (Z5,Z3,Z1) faster than the stock Sony charger. My Sony charger says 1.5 Amp and it's ok, just not as quick.
The Blackberry charger has the added advantage of having a nice long lead, as opposed to the short lead which Sony provides. It is a dedicated charger only though, so you can't use it for file transfers.
Its kind of weird that other users are reaching 2.0A of juice from their chargers, while some are not.
Unfortunately for me, QC does not work. I recently bought a Tronsmart TS-QC1W usb wall charger. it is Qualcomm QC 2.0 certified, and it did not make any difference because the Max Ampere I was only getting is 1540 amp. I also happen to have a power watt meter where I can measure the watts this charger is pulling in from the wall, and it is just getting ~8 watts (meaning 5V x 1.5A = ~8 watts). I only thing I like and is useful with my tronsmart is, I love the long thick usb cable that came with it.
Just incase a dev or anyone is working or curious in this issue, I am using:
Sony Xperia Z5 dual (E6683)
firmware 32.0.A.6.66 (stock, havent updated to the most recent)
Sony UCH20 stock charger
Tronsmart TS-QC1W Qualcomm QC 2.0 certified
Charging Time from 0%-100% = 2rs 15mins
next thing I would try and do is, update my firmware, and hoping that would enable QC for my Z5. Or if that fails, I hope Sony is currently aware of this and that its upcoming marshmallow update will enable QC 2.0.
(BTW, I can confirm that ALL Z5 Premium can reach and pass 2 AMP of juice from a fast charger. I dont have any data from Z5 compact though).

The Z3 Compact series has gone through these same discoveries. Sony (for some reason) doesn't FULLY support QC 2.0 charging speeds. You'll only see about 1.5 amps when charging with the phone on, and maybe a bump to 1.8 when the phone is powered off (not just screen off). Because of this, 2 amp tablet chargers are effectively just as capable as the expensive quick chargers.
To all of you who are using charger other than stock for some extra amps are ruining the battery ? life of your device.

Because phone can't draw more current than set by manufacturer, doesn't matter whatever the charger you use. But using a higher rating charger can cause more heating, which actually degrade the battery life as it accelerate the reaction inside the battery because of rise in temperature.

There is still no proof that it will cause heating and degrade the battery life though. The phone will only ask for so much draw that it can handle from the charger I'm all good for people correcting something however you need to provide proper proof to show it is a fact

It is well known and has been proven many times that the faster you charge a battery the hotter it gets and less charge cycles it lasts.
Sometimes it might be necessary to do a quick charge, but i don't think it is a good idea to QC your batteries every day.
Using s8 fast charger it is rated as 5v , 2a im worried as is dont have lg original charger which supports 1.8a(fastcharge). My phone also got hot on samsung adapter . Should i buy original or its nothing to worry about. Kindly need advice.
AFAIK, there will be no difference. The chip controls how much energy is delivered to the battery, and even if you use a 3a charger, the phone itself will limit the maximum energy delivered so it doesn't affect battery.
It's normal that the battery gets hot on fast charge (even in normal charge) Just try to avoid using the phone or charging in a hot environment so the battery doesn't go further than ~40°C more or less.
