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 am even using a charger meant for my old HTC hehe, powerful enough adapter

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 am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I am seeing that i'll charge my phone for somewhere between 5-8 hours using the original wall charger and cable but it will not fully charge. It gets to about 70-80%. Is this happening to anyone else?
Any other details? Rooted? ROM?
My phone fully charges from 10% to 100% in about 2 hours or less
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
5-8 hours is definitely not normal. It fully charges from 0 to 100% in 3h 45min Max and even that is a little bit of a stretch. For me its more like 3hours.

Check your chaging status. If it says USB, thats your problem. Without further knowledge of your setup, I cannot advise you any further
Just happened to me, plugged into original charger before going to sleep, woke up and it shows only 80%. Plugged into Samsung charger, now up to 90% in 20 minutes.

Stock everything. It's happened about 4 nights now.
I find that sometimes my stock charger detects as USB instead of AC. You can see if it is charging that way in the battery details in the settings. When it is stuck on USB it is way slower.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah and if you want it to charge a little bit more faster you turn off the device
Check about phone, make sure it says Charging (AC) and not Charging (USB). If it's USB then thats the reason why, use another charger.
My stock charger that came with N4 went to USB but then for some reason, after I replugged it, it went to AC and has been AC ever since.

I was having a problem where mine, with the charger that came with it would charge very slowly, once overnight only got to 80% in ~8 he's i watched it and sometimes would not even show charging on the lock screen. I switched to my HTC one s charger and it is charging with great speed. Issue with these chargers?

did your HTC One S have an adaptor like the Nexus 4 or any other phone now a days... I think thats the probllem. having an adaptor from USB to AC PLUG messes with these phones. Like I said before, above post.. buy an LG AC Wall Charger.. works great.

Left phone charging overnight and woke up this morning at 53%.
Using Stock USB cable and ac adapter charging through the wall.
The charger is usually fine and I wake up at 100%. Once or twice I'll wake up with around 73% which is fine.. but at 53%, aint nobody got time for that.
Anyone else have same experience? Any fixes?. Running PA and Franco latest.

Just recently started having this same problem. When I notice it happening, I can see the charging indicator flipping on and off rapidly.
I use an HTC charger from my old desire and haven't had any issues.
Not even took the nexus 4 charger out of the box.
Try a different charger.

I had this problem with the stock charger and cable. Ordered a new (and official) LG USB cable and still had the same problem. Oddly enough, if I use the USB cable from my old Atrix charger with the LG stock charger, the issue disappeared and I have not had it happen since.
No idea if this is a problem with the charger itself, or just cheap USB cables
I had this problem 2 months ago. It's definitely the charger. I replaced it with a cheap travel charger and have no problems.

Stock charger is useless, use a different one... preferably without detachable USB cable. Seems like you're getting what I used to before I changed chargers, "USB charging" when you are plugged into a wall outlet.
for me, the charger was fine. The cable is what is failing. Maybe it wasn't made to usb spec. Sometimes when plugging in, I notice it starts USB charging and not A/C charging. I installed a battery widget that tells me what charging mode it is in so I kept a watchful eye on that. After using a different cable (with same charger), I've never had this issue again.

Are you on stock rom? When I first got my nexus it was on 4.2.1 I noticed that if I left the phone on the charger or was using it while it was charging the % number would go down.
Flashing a custom rom and kernel fixed these issues.
Changed the usb-AC adapter to my iphone one while using the same usb wire and its working fine now.
Mine started doing this yesterday but wasn't using the stock charger. I rebooted the phone and used the lg charger and cable and phone has been fine sine.

I had this issue before where the stock battery graph would sometimes show USB charging even though I'm using the wall charger. It would sometimes flicker between charging and not-charging as well.
I replaced the LG USB cable to a generic micro USB cable from ebay and the issue hasn't repeated ... so far.
My NOTE 3 SM-N9005
is having issues when charging using wall socket. At first it charged up to 82%, then 56% and now 31% BUT when plugged into USB port it charges up to 100%. I believe it may be something with software. I have JB 4.3.3 and I dont want to upgrade to a KITKAT at least not now.
Anybody having some ideas. Why it does not charge via WALL SOCKET but works fine VIA USB.
I cannot ask for replacement I bought in the USA and now I am back to my country so warranty is of no use.
PLEASE HELP.

That is the problem with your apple charger.
You can check by yourself by using the Samsung cable and plug into the USB port on the PC to see if it works OK.
So the problem should be the charger.

No need to scary, your problem is just a apple charger.
You need to change to another charger and the thing will be ok.
BTW, to original charger for Note3 is 2A/5.3VDC. How about your apple charger? I doubt it does not have enough power to charge the Note 3.

I don't think the Samsung ones use quick charge 2.0. Even though the galaxy s6/note 5 can use quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I think they use a proprietary Samsung fast charge tech in their own chargers.
So it would charge your phone but at the regular 5v2a. I would recommend getting a quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I have a couple from tronsmart and they are great.

Not if it's the typical 5volt 2amp version. Couple that up with the fact the moto X pure is picky about what quick chargers even work with it period and you have a harder time finding one that works.
Start by reading this thread.. then get yourself a replacement that has been reported to work with this phone.
