Using my phone whilst charging it charges downwards.
It doesn't charge downwards. It's simply because you are doing something so intensive that the power from USB outlets cannot cannot draw enough power and so it compensates by using battery power as well.
seriously?
USB charging is only about a 1/5th of the power from charging from a power point.
Riiiight. But im only watching vids? I understand if i play a game and it happens buh videos too?!

Are you charging via the included Samsung charger or computer?
Computer USB only gives out about 0.5 -0.7A @ 5V which is not really enough to charge the phone while in use for anything.
For me, battery will drop even with the screen on.
However, USB charger gives 2A @ 5V which is enough to do some intensive things while not loosing charge.
I have samsung charger with cable (both white) and its the usb charger one not the fixed charger one
Try using this app to find out what current you're getting from your charger. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076078
Stock charger and cable with stock kernel should show 1200 mah with the screen on. If you aren't getting that, try different cables in case you have damaged your stock one. Beware though... I have found some cheap generic cables perform very very badly. You could have different results with a non Samsung charger, sometimes they will work in a similar way, sometimes the kernel detects it as a PC connection and limits the charging current. It depends on the internals of the charger and if there is any resistance across the data pins.

Not true.
USB charging is ~500mA
AC charging is ~850mA, and with a fast charge kernel you'll get up to 1200mA.

This haooens when you USB CABLE is faulty.
Get a new USB cable (i would prefer a different brand than samsung because their wuality is cheap).
Your phone might be charging slow to.
Download the galaxy current charge app and check for the voltage thing. Youll get the answer for yourself.

Any risk in using a different charger than the original samsung one to charge the sgs2?
I use a combination of blackberry charger at work, universal micro usb charger downstairs at home, universal car charger and official charger upstairs.
Any concerns with this?
I've been doing that for ages. I use the droid, SE x10 and iPhone chargers with no issue.
As always YMMV
I am using htc's charger which has a higher rating than samsung charger. No problem at all...

I use a Sony charger to charge my S2 , I have not even removed the Samsung one from the box , As long as you use a branded charger will be fine.
I've tried to use Nokia's 1200 mA charger, It did charge the phone but whenever i connected that charger the phone would slow down terribly. So, whatever you use, try to keep it around Samsung's charger's 700 mA.
Ive found that the standard charger is rubbish! I had my galaxy s 4 month and it broke, my wifes galaxy 3 did same and now i dont even bother with the one out the box, just use the usb cable and the adapter i got with my tab.

Same here. I tried all sorts to get it to work with no joy. I now have 3 duff samsung chargers that are potentially a fire hazard if left plugged in! Tempted to email samsung and raise this concern.

At home I use a Lenmar AC-to-USB 1A charger I picked up at Fry's for around $10; in the car I use a 1A Cygnett 12V-to-USB charger, also from Fry's. Both charge the device at least as well as the OEM AC charger; the car charger appears to charge the SGS2 even when I'm running CoPilot Live.
I use the iGO charge anywhere.
It's a tad pricey, but since the GS2 battery life isn't great (my only complaint on the phone), the charger is great for it since it has an internal battery that charges up when you put it in an outlet so you can charge the phone without needing an outlet. Great for in school or walking around, just put it in my bag and press the button and it charges.
I'm using my BlackBerry charger with no issues, I just do it for convenience as the charging time is the same as the standard charger.

Guys have you noticed any change in response when we plug in another charger?
I have been using the HTC charger, 200 mA (input), Output 5V --> 1A.
Whenever i connect my phone to charge and try to work on it, i see my screen lag terribly. Haven't tried it with the supplied charger though due to the low voltage that came with it.
I know i would be wrong, but wanted to check with the experts on this forum...

200ma is way low, less than half the 500 ma usb standard. Get a new charger. Most of the chargers you are going to see will be 500 ma I would go with double that.
Some (bad?) chargers will disable touchscreen
I have a couple of usb-chargers off ebay and they give some trouble.
When connected, the touchscreen will not work anymore.
This is mentioned in the manual btw.
Guess the SII is a little sensitive.
Yeah, ebay chargers are a crapshoot. Head to walmart or similar and read the power specs, get something that puts out 5v at 1A LPS. This will charge much faster than the often usb based standard 500 mA chargers and the battery will not be harmed at that charging level which is what many stock HTC chargers put out nowdays. Do not get anything less than 500mA, this is the usb standard and works but will be slower to charge. El Cheapo no name chargers on ebay and such may have the spec but may or may not actually put out the juice. You can usually tell this because the phone will have problems like the ones mentioned right here. The stock charger does not put out any special juice, juice is juice. If a charger puts out to spec the phone will work while charging.

one of my family member is an excelent multi device reparator " every thing which works with electricity "
he told me that if the phone power is 5V 1A, then all chargers that are less than 1A will make the battery HOT
and all chargers that are more than 1A it's fine to use them because the phone will use only 1A so the charger will gives him only 1A
(i tries this on other devices)
i used my phone with a Sony Ericsson charger and it worked as if a ghost is using my phone (touchscreen is working randomly by itself) then i used a samsung charger and its good. But still i guess using the original charger from htc is the best. I have to buy one myself :/

The stock HTC charger is 1A. The stock USB charging voltage is 0.5A... My phone does not get all that hot with my stock charger or while charging through USB. And my car charger is 0.5A too, does not heat up the phone even while using GPS. The way it gets warm in all three charging scenarios is the same.
So- what I posted is from experience, that too with 2 HD2 phones that I have and use for close to 3 years. And yes, I have my multimeter and soldering rod handy too!

It won't be enough if you're the type that uses the phone while plugged in. IF on the other hand you don't use your phone while charging, it will be enough.
If you still have your original HD2 data cable, though, you can leave it plugged in your PC and it will charge up fine as though it were using the original wall charger. Which is what I do most of the time. I only use my wall charger for emergencies, or when I don't have a PC to plug into.

It will be fine. The phone/battery controls the charging current, NOT the charger. You could safely use a 2A charger, and it will still be fine - because it won't charge at 2A - that's just the maximum the charger is capable of.

While a charger rated at higher amp wont theoretically hurt the phone or the battery, I had a sour experience with my $1000 SE P900's charging circuit going for a toss after plugging it in to such a charger- this was in 2004/5. I have stuck to lower-or-equal amp chargers ever since.
i think that chargers and power sources which are bigger than or equals to 1A (like original charger and PC's USB port) are the ideal for charging ouer HD2 (specially when using android NAND)
i think thet chargers which are less than 1A are like someone who wanna take more than 5 persons on his small 5 places car !!!
no ???

No, less Ampere = less current flow in a given amount of time, so by analogy you have 40 persons and you must carry them to point A to point B: if you use a car (5 seats) you need to make at least 8 rides to complete the task while with a 10 seats Van 4 rides are enough. Or you can do it with a 52 seats Bus (1 ride) but the extra 12 seats are'nt making you going faster.
Now, the car is a 0,3 A charger, the Van is 0,6A and the bus is 1,2A.
Is'nt the perfect example and the value aren't at correct ratio but, oh well...

...*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?

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.

Even that is unlikely because the phone regulates how many amps to draw. The current allowed is regulated based on multiple factors including the battery temperature and the charge present in the battery.

Well the second scenario was if said bits failed
amps / volts
Think of volts as pressure, and amps as volume of flow.
Think of a conductor as the empty space of a pipe, the insulation as the pipe wall.
Higher volts needs stronger pipe (conductor insulation). The limited insulation in most modern electronics will burst if to much pressure (volts) is applied, causing a short and a fried device.
Higher amps requires a larger pipe (conductor) and will most always be limited by the size of the pipe, or the amount of volume consumed downstream.
If a charger puts out 100 amps and only .75 can fit through the pipe under a giving pressure (5 volts), then only .75 amps will be able to come out of the charger, without damaging anything.
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.
Is the adapter is original? Not a fake one?

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.

OK it does charge via USB port on my PC but now every time I try charging via wall socket it charge less and less. Since warranty is out of question I was scared to death and wall charging charges 3x faster
Ok I guess I will have to find another USB charger, preferably original one.
I read lot of posts about people having issues with NOTE3 charging and it is scary.

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.

Ohhhh, as I've said, this charger does not have enough power. Our Note 3 requires 5.3V / 2A, but this one only 5V / 1A.
You need another "stronger" charger.
Thanks
