[Q] N9005 kernel 2A USB Charging - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there !
Got my Note 3 recently, been reading here and there.
Decided to screw Knox and went 0x1, only 6 month warranty left anyway, and I love flashing, tweaking to get the phone as I want !
Coming from a note 2, I had to try the Phoenix port on my N3, and pretty satisfied for now (heard it's risky to downgrade LL to KK so I'm waiting for now...)
On Note 2, I had a kernel allowing 2A rate charge from anywhere, AC, PC Usb, Car charger...
Things where checked using Galaxy Charging Current
On note 3, I saw the fast charging thing, but can't get what I want.
I tried CivZ and Ultimate kernel, both talk about this, and allow custom settings, but they both lock usb to 1A, under settings there is an option to remove security stuff to allow 2.1A anywhere, but it doesn't seem to work :
PC USB stuck at 1A
3m cable on AC gets 1A, and sometimes 1.8, need to plug/unplug for it to randomly select charging current..
USB3 original cable on AC 2.1A.
Car charger is working at 2.
I tried Stweaks/Synapse
Is there any kernel allowing such things ? bypass security and get max charge rate from anywhere ? (like I had on N2)
It's ok if it's LL rom only, I'll probably upgrade someday, tho I hope Xposed will be 100% stable soon.
If there is nothing, then I'm a bit disappointed, how could N2 have this things and we don't anymore, especially for the 3m cable, really, a must have !
(Bonus question, can QI charger really charge at 1.2A as Options suggests ? Would it charge through a TPU plastic case ?)
Thanks for help

Bump, anyone ?

Haven't seen any.
But try some kernel tweak apps.

For now I tried Synapse, S tweaks, Devil manager, but, don't options also come from the kernel itself before being possible in the app ?

is it possible to charge the tab by usb on computer??

hi, is there a possibility to charge the tab with an usb connected to my computer? maybe an app, or something?
Hi,
I do not know, if there is a certain app or tweak for that. But there are custom roms which support this feature. I've tested "GALAXY TASK 6.3" where charging with Usb is working. On the other hand it is not working with the overcome rom.
Best regards,
Bel.
i dont use custom rooms and dont want to, aint there any other possibiltys?
Pretty sure I remember seeing adapters you could "build" to get charging over usb working. It was in the Accessories section. Other than that, rooting and a custom rom (Tasks 6.3) allows it.

Well, you don't need to use a custom ROM to charge over USB, but you would need a custom kernel (pershoots). But I assume if you don't want to use a custom ROM then you probably don't want to use a custom kernel either.
Out of curiousity, if you don't want to use custom ROMs then why are you on XDA? It's sort of the central point of these forums...
Mine seams to charge over usb only if u turn the Tab off, which is not ideal but at least it is possible if u get stuck without a charger. I think the device requires too much current to run & charge at the same time, usb ports can only provide 500mA @ 5v

Yes it does. Just use one of Pershoot's kernels, and download the free script manager. And not to forget, the usb charge script txt file it self
Then it would run like a charm.

All PCs can charge the tab10.1 over usb.
On the tab display it shows that it isn't charging but if you leave the tab in standby and come back in 8 hours it will be charged, it just takes longer.
Some of the new motherboards have an option in the bios to enable charging of tablets which obviously ups the amperage on the usb ports and this also "fixes" the tab display to show charging and it also charges quicker.

[Q] CyanogenMod kernel with fast charge ?

Hello,
is there any kernel for CM with fastcharge enabled ? I cant charge while HDMI is enabled.
Maybe there are some good guides to create my own kernel ? I mean something like " add a function to kernel for dummies"
thx for help...
Maybe the problem is bad cable or charger. Try another.
Also I think that almost every kernel can change voltage.

Ive tried original and ipad charger. With original and a different USB cable. Iam pretty sure the problem is that my Adapter recognized as usb interface as its support HDMI and flashdrive.
Without the hdmiadapter all works fine.
Edit: tried more cables. This time with a current Meter APP. Iam pretty impressed that every cable ive tested gave different currentresults. But regardless oft cable, if iam pluggging the hdmiadapter between charger and phone from 1a max 460ma left.
Edit2:
Ive found a cable which is charging with 1.8a and fits into the adapter, but the same here. The phone only charges with 460mA. Its the same current when plugging into a notebook for example. So iam pretty sure the Phone lowers the drain to protect the usbdevice.
So i think fastcharge is the onlyoption i have. Or someone knows how to change this without fastcharge.

[Q] USB OTG + pogo charging

I've seen this question pop up a while ago but it doesn't appear to have been solved. Someone mentioned that the KTManta kernal might have solved this but I couldn't find that answered anywhere in that thread (here). I am using the USB OTG cable to control an IR Droid USB transmitter in a permanent kiosk installation and I need the pogo connector to supply power so this can run 24/7.
Any help is much appreciated!
UPDATE:
Wooo!!! Just thought I'd give the kernel a shot and see what happens... it works! I have a separate USB voltage meter that confirms, as well as seeing the battery % increase while being used, and my IR Droid is also working.
Just install the above mentioned kernel, plug in the USB Y OTG cable into tablet, external power supply to the male USB end of Y adapter, and external device (mine being the IR Droid device) to female USB end. Plug second power supply (I used the 2.4a (12w) iPad charger) into pogo connector. Win.
Ktoonsez, your next few beers are on me, good sir!!
UPDATE: The latest KTManta kernel (04-06-2014) breaks root (SuperSU) with the stock rom. In my case that is v4.4.4 so I've had to revert to my nandroid backup. The issue has been known for a long while but it seems the dev is prioritizing his kernel on other devices. Obviously this means I'll not be testing any time soon.
Interesting, I've wanted this solution for a long time as I use an USB Ethernet adapter from a room with poor WiFi reception. I'll see if it makes any difference if the OTG USB device is attached to a powered USB hub or not and report back.

Oh man, I wish I knew about it breaking root before installing!! I was wondering why it was saying I wasn't rooted... Is there a way to fix root while on this kernel?
I'm having some issues with the tablets now that I didn't have before - the most basic seems that it won't boot (won't even start the Google logo) if I have both OTG device and Pogo connected at same time when the tablet is off. I did solder my own right angle tip onto the OTG Y cable though, so I may have messed something up... I'm going to be doing some more testing over the next couple days and I'll keep this up to date.
"Is there a way to fix root while on this kernel?"
The root issue with KTManta's latest release is specifically with the stock ROM from what I've read in the N10 KTManta thread. So it would seem that installing a non-stock ROM then installing the KTManta kernel would be the only way to get this kernel and root. I'm unwilling to do that for this single feature. There were comments that root was still working on an older KTManta release which if I can remember is from Dec 2013. I've no idea if that release has the charging features you see with the latest release.
If you go the custom ROM route then read the KTManta thread to find out which custom ROM's are working. Don't quote me but I thought the OMNI ROM was one that worked, please confirm that for yourself.
From my experience stock with the XPosed framework is more stable than any custom ROM and I've tried many.

So there were a few other issues that I found out while testing...
If you have USB plugged in, then reboot, the tablet freezes while trying to boot. It doesn't even get to the loading screen.
It seems a bit buggy as to when it wants to work and when it doesn't, and all the while the tablet says that it's charging so it is hard to test, but I was using a USB volt meter to see if the pogo was actually taking power or not.
The next thing I want to test is using a powered USB hub, instead of a Y cable. Has anybody done this successfully? Does it need the modified kernel? Does it ACTUALLY charge, or just say that it is?

I use a powered hub to access an Ethernet adapter while concurrently having the pogo plug attached. The result is that the tablet drains slower as the Ethernet adapter is drawing power from USB Hub rather than the tablet. The tablet does not get charged in anyway despite the false charging icon indicator. This is why your post was so interesting to me until I discovered that root was lost. I can live the charging and OTG limitations but I can't loose root.

I tried this the same way as SupremeTaco described.
My nexus 10 runs the latest Omnirom 4.4.4 with latest KTManta kernel.
I plugged in the OTG Y Cable, which was connected to a charger and a usb SD-card reader. Then I plugged in the Pogo charger and to my surprise, the Nexus 10 charges yay! (I saw the battery percentage increase as I was using device with screen on)
SupremeTaco thank you for this great tip, I have been looking for a solution for a long time. I can now charge my Nexus 10 16GB while using a Meenova reader with 64GB microSD card - which is extremely useful :good: :good:

I'm glad it helped! But be careful as you may have issues booting with the USB plugged in. Let me know if this does happen to you... it may just be the version of the kernel I was using but I gave up and am looking for another solution at this point, since I must leave the USB plugged in 24/7
Pogo works great
Should have bought one earliar

Sorry for the slow response,
I did some testing with both KTManta kernel and the stock Omnirom kernel and indeed booting with USB plugged in does not work. The culprit seems to be the OTG Y-Cable and specifically the power supply part. If you disconnect power from the Y cable but leave everything else plugged into the tablet, the tablet will boot. Perhaps you could have a power switch for the Y-cable and switch it off only when booting?
Also, I have discovered that Pogo charging with Y-cable also works on stock Omnirom kernel. So it seems that the kernel does not affect the charging capability with this setup in anyway, so we are not limited to using KTManta. However the booting issue does not seem to be a kernel-related problem.
Edit: I also confirmed charging in this way works with franco kernel r16 (so it will probably work with all other franco kernels and any other custom kernel)

Charging and Battery Problems

Hello XDA,
I have a i9301i which is 1 year old now and runs the unofficial cm12.1 with a custom kernel. Since ca. 2 months my phone won't charge with a normal charger but only with one specific usb charger. No other cable works. I have 3 original samsung chargers, and only this one works. I can't even use a powerbank because of this. Also the usb port of my phone seems to have some kind of loose contact because the flow disconnects if I touch the charger during charging.
Besides this problem, I have another one which only happens to appear if I use that certain usb charger: the msm-otg bug.
So, is there a custom kernel compatible with cm12.1 that gets rid of the msm-otg bug? And how can it be that only one cable works?

Phone stops charging after Oreo Update. (On my second phone right now)

First of all I'm very sorry for posting on a developer Forum, I had lurked here for about a month looking for an answer and I can't find it. I wouldn't had made an account otherwise.
Here's my problem, my phone randomly stops charging (not notice neither) since the Oreo Update. I believe is because of the update because I return my old phone and bought a second phone and decided to leave it on Nougat, I decided to update it to Oreo because I missed notification badges and the day after I already had the same problem.
Things of Notice:
*Both phones where new and on the latest security patch.
*My phone does charge overnight when in wall socket but will stop charging when I used the USB on my car (my car has a USB adapter but if I charge it there, it will keep READING USB and repeating the cycle)
*Phone also stops charging when I use an extended battery. (I'm an avid Pokemon Go Player)
*Restating the phone a couple of times, fixes the issue.
Is there anything that I can do? everything else about the phone works perfectly (Facebook takes a long time to load but that's it). If there's an answer already please forward me to that post. Thanks again
Could it be because the update enabled quick charge, so now the phone requires a bigger energy output from the USB?
Does changing the cable help? If not, try doing a factory reset.

Since this is my first phone with USB type C I only have the one cable. I had notice the battery backup is charging so it seems like a problem with the car charger but I need to test it first. What charging output do I need to charge a modern phone like this?

Anywhere from 0.5A (laptop USB port) to 2.5A (tablet charger) should work. Can you test charging from a computer?

I'm sorry I answer this late, I was unable to log into the site from my phone. (forgot the pasword). I did some testing in the weekend and it did charge on my laptop, it charge extremely slow., Just 3% in like an hour. (with constant use).
I kept using it with my power bank it kept charging reliably as well as in my house. But it keeps having the some problem at the car, So here's what I'm wondering. If I use one of those 3.0 USB car chargers will it charge my phone? without a problem to my car? I don't know if this phone supports fast charging (the specs says yes but I never seen the fast charging message with the regular charging)

No worries. Yes, laptop charging is slow.
I'm not sure if the stock ROM supports fast charging but custom ones do, and it can't harm your device. I don't see why it would harm your car if it was made for it. Maybe your car's USB port broke.

I see, I'll buy one of those quick charge car chargers and if everything goes alright I'm keeping the phone. I really like the look and camera and my only annoyances with it come from Stock Android.

I have had the same reaction on one of my phones after updating to oreo.
Changing the charger from a 1A model to a 2,4A model solved the issue.
