Is that feature packed entirely in the Battery or is it built into the phone?
So if I buy extra batteries (official of course) Will they get that fast charge bonus in an external charge case?
(ie the note 4 version of this http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-K800BUWESTA )
the quick charge isnt built into the battery it is built into the qualcomm 800+ chips
ahh ok.
thanks for that answer.
Will it work with wireless charging assuming there is a wireless back cover?
I just went to a note 4 roadshow in Montreal and for the fast charging you need the Note 4 charger. It will charge at regular speed with other chargers. Not sure if the Note 4 charger works with other phones.

Did you see the amp of the note 4 charger?
Note 4 charger will still be micro usb so it should work. The key is the fast charge is built into the qualcomm 800+ chips which allows it to accept. Higher voltage rates...I could be wrong. It's partially the reason I have note 3 and note 12.2

Hi
Can anyone tell me with total certainty if the S3 and S4 mains chargers are interchangeable with either device without long term damage? My S3 charger delivers 0.7A and my S4 charger delivers 2.0A
Obviously I have loads of S3 chargers and don't want to fork out for more for the S4 - would the S3 charger just charge the S4 slower? Would using the S4 charger damage the S3? I still need to use both phones (work/home)
Thanks!
Paul
Yes, the S3 charger will just charge the S4 at about 1/3 the speed of the S4 charger. Otherwise, it's fine.

Thanks, I would expect that really but how about the other way around? Does anyone know what the max charge rate is for the S3? If I plug the S4 charger in it provides 2A is this too much for the S3? I have looked around and can't find any max charge rates :s

Well you should test it out, have a battery app or widget on the S3 and charge it with the S4 charger. If it gets too hot, then its best to stick with the S3 charger.

No, I think stuartv is making joke. With different currency, I think you can not use S3 charger to charge S4.

No, it's not a different current, it's just different power with the same voltage. Therefore, both chargers are interchangeable and it won't break any phone, no worries. If the S3 can't drain 2W (I don't know if it can), it'll just drain less.

ah you mean the phone draws the power rather than the adapter pushing the power through the circuit?
Charging any battery at a higher current will shorten the life of the battery, only sightly at those levels though, and vise versa charging at lowers currents will increase the life of the battery

Whenever I'm on the road I use my phone a lot for navigation. The charger I have now can barely keep the current charge while the phone is navigating and I don't know if it's the charger or the old battery in the phone. My Note 3 is arriving tomorrow and I'd like to know which charger should I get that'll charge the phone even while it's navigating and with the screen on. Will any 2 amp charger do?
Thanks.
My Note 2 used to have the same problem even with a 2.1Amp charger. I found that the lead between the charger and the phone can make a big difference. I used the "'Galaxy Charging Current" app to check which lead was best. Not Benn on a long enough journey with the Note3 yet to see how well it stands up. GCC is at

The Note 3 draws only 1,200 mA (1.2A).
Therefore charger over 1.2A is redundant because the device only receives that much.
The stock charger is 2.1A. But like I said, phone only draws 1.2A.
Download the app mentioned above. It's very useful.
Thanks for the responses. Can you guys recommend a car charger brand?

Hi, for those who own an Galaxy Note 3 (with a Snapdragon 800), does it have the Quick Charge feature that the LG G2 has?
And if it does, how fast does it charge? A guy at a retailer says the LG G2 can charge from 0% to full in 30minutes.
(I'm only comparing this to the LG G2 is because both of them have a snapdragon 800 which supports it)
EDIT; I mean to say Quick Charge 2.0, not 3.0
I think that's a miss quote on the LG tech... its zero to 80% in 30 mins.
Thats still good, but yeah unless im doing it wrong the note3 doesnt have that.

i could be wrong:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/05/t...ting-smartphone-released-this-year-heres-why/
it says that :
Perhaps even more exciting is, combined with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0, the Galaxy Note 3′s 3200mAh battery will charge much, much faster. USB 3.0 alone improves charging speeds from 500mA of current to 900mA, which is closer to an AC adapter than a USB port. The Note 3 also sports a 1.5A mode, too, which promises to bring charging time to under two hours.
The charger that it comes with is 2.0 A

Agreed, I thought I could use the usb to charge the phone quicker than usb2.0 but even if you activate the usb3.0 settings, charge time is still the same as 2.0. I.e. Ages! If you plug directly into wall socket, takes a few hours

the only difference with the new USB 3.0 microUSB adapter cable is that it transfer data faster when you use it
you can do everything the same with the regular USB 2.0 microUSB adapter cable, it's sooooo convenient, backward compatible with all the old devices
And it charges faster because the included charging dongle has an output of 2 amps.

Works perfectly fine, I've been using my old HTC HD2 cable (now there's nostalgia..) to charge it without issue.
The right slot of an USB3.0 socket is actually just a MicroUSB slot. It's the left pin that is the USB3.0 part.

The charging rate is the same as note 2 ( which also came with the 2 amp charger) . It takes about 2hrs and 30mins to go from 5% to full 100% charge.
Better yet buy an external OEM charger with a battery . Awesome!

I use 2.0 exclusively to charge.
I don't have a usb 3.0 device.
I solved the battery issue by buying an oem
spare battery from Samsung here in the UAE.
Thing is the dock isn't out yet so I have to charge the first battery in the phone, then swap it with the spare battery & charge it in the phone.
It's a bit of a hassle because I have to make sure battery A is full charged, then plug in battery B before finally sleeping.

I do not recommend using the supplied charger with the Galaxy Note 3
After using an older style micro usb 2.0 charger on my Note 3 I realized that the older Samsung charger either had lower amperage or voltage output than the supplied cable. The stock cable does charge very fast which seems awesome. But if u use a 2.0 cable it will take significantly longer to charge but you will notice the battery charge lasts A LOT longer! I NEVER use the stock cable anymore unless hooking up to a computer. I searched and searched and am suprised noone else has mentioned this.
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.

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.
