Amazon aukey or anker are excellent alternatives. Quick charge 2.0 is what you must get.

I never thought to use those.

I love Anker products. Everything from chargers to power banks and cables have always lasted. I've never had one of their products fail.

[Q] Note 4 Car Charging?

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.

Sorry, I should have specified - the only thing plugged into the charger is my Note 4.
Shoot, maybe I just need to grab another charger. Thought I made a good decision with that Anker.
Thanks for your reply by the way

If you get the one I listed, it works for sure. Great charger and it's been the only one my wife hasn't been able to destroy. :laugh:
Will the car charger also do the 50% in 30min charging ?

Doubt it. You need a special charger for that.

No idea, but if there were to be one, I'd imagine that Samsung would have it first.

Hmm.. this mentions rapid charging, I wonder if it's as fast as the wall charger
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECA-U21CBEBXAR
The only chargers that work with the new fast charging technology are ones that are purpose built and have the ability to switch between 9V and 5V,they are quite uncommon.
I have this charger http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D82O68Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it charges my note 4 while running Waze and tethering my Radar Detector via Bluetooth (which also uses GPS)....and it charges my wife's S5 at the same time
Using an afer market 2.1a charger and an S3 cable, charges just fine.

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."

[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.
Hope that helps someone, credit goes to the users over at http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-charger-supports-fast-charging-note-4-a.html

QuickCharge works fine with powerbanks

I have an Anker Astro 3 12000mah powerbank as well as Xiaomi 10400 & 16000mah. All seem to charge the S6 as fast as the stock Adaptive Fast Charger. I usually charge when I'm down to 40% and all these powerbanks when connected to the S6 show as cable charging. The time to hit 100% though is exactly the same as the fast charger.
So guys don't throw away your existing powerbanks and dole monies out for some unknown brands that claim to be QC2.0 compliant.
PS: I have a two year old Samsung 9000mah powerbank that released along with the S4. Will try if that QuickCharges the S6 tonight. The S6 is picky with the cables though. I get the QuickCharge only with good quality cables. I use an original Samsung cable that came with a spare 2amp charger and an Anker cable. Work perfect.

No. As I mentioned it says Cable Charging. But the time taken to charge is the same as the stock charger. Fast.

I've been using this 10,000mAh power bank from Aukey, which supports Quick Charge 2.0 and the S6 does display Fast Charging Connected. I just haven't compared charge time between this and the stock charger yet. All I can say is they're both blazing fast. According to this other thread, the stock charger has 5V and 9V outputs, just like any QC 2.0 charger, therefore, they should work the same. I'm not sure about non-QC2.0 compatible power banks though.

Using Samsung Fast Charger To Charge Phone?

So I my moto charger got destroyed by my dang dog and I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger that came with my wife's note 5. It just says "charging" and its still very slow. It's 2.0a at 5v I believe or 1.6a at 9 or 10v. Yet its still slow. Any recommendations? On marshmallow.
Can anyone help shed light on this?

That's not a qc charger. Hence the slow charging. It's 5v only whereas quick chargers also do 9 and 12 volt.

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.

Well I've used the Samsung charger and it says "5v @ 2.0 and then says 9v @1.6. I have it hooked up but its so very very slow. I'm getting 2% charge every 30 mins or so. I ran ampere and I'm getting 3.7V and its stuck on " charging via USB". Anyway to change that from USB to AC? THANK YOU guys for chiming in. I have 6 cords and 3 bricks, 2 Samsung and one of.
My note 4 chargers power charges my MXPE and fast charger.

It's showing 'usb charger', which should be very very slow...
you sure you are connected to a wall charger?
It should say 'AC Charger'
I have the power brick in the wall and cable running from it to the phone.

He means a proper fast charger will show AC charging. USB charging means slow.

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.

For what it is worth, the Asus quick charger that came with my ZenFone2 charges the MXPE like a champ. Is there a better spot for me to share that information?

I have the Aukey quick charger as my office spare, and it works quite well. Not as fast as the motorola turbo charger, but quite faster than regular 2A chargers.
Guys or ladies, got a new charger from Motorola and it charges "charging USB" and its slow as hell charging. Any ideas? Stock marshmallow.
I got a new Motorola fast charger sent to me but I plug it in and I get "charging over USB" and charging very slow. Why? Stock marshmallow.

If it isn't the Turbopower 25 like this one then that's your problem. The phone might not be getting enough voltage.

Fast charging

I recently bought an s7e. New but used from Craigslist. In all my excitement I didn't look inside the box and realized that the seller jipped me out of the cable and charger. Device works great. No worries there.
Main question is...what amperage does the original charger output? I'm using an aftermarket charger and cable. The output is 2.4amps. I have the fast charge option on but won't get any fast charge results. Is the original charger needed for the option to work?
Should I just get the induction charger?

I have a charge pad but it doesn't fast charge. its nice for over night tho....
I think you need to get the Sammy original plug charger for the fast charge.... its VERY nice... can get you up to working juice in like 15min... supper fast at the start then slows down, but after 15min or so you are good for many hours.
I had rapid charging on my nexus 6p. It was awesome. I just want it back for this device.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
You just need a QuickCharge 2.0 or higher compatible charger. Unlike standard chargers, QuickCharge chargers use multiple voltages. Something like this would be perfect:

Alternative charger?

Sorry if this has been asked. Can I use the OEM/stock charger of the Nexus 6p on the LG V20?
I use it and my old charger from note 7 also

Spend a little dough on a nice Anker or Aukey QC3 charger. I've been replacing all of my chargers with those. Worth it

Thank you sir.
Mine works with variety of QC2.0 chargers
Note 7 one (with retail package)
Anker
Tronsmart.
I have charged mine with my brothers stock nexus 6p charger and it charges pretty fast. Havent timed them or anything but its definitely as fast as the stock v20 one. Only problem is if its safe or not since there is that whole debate about Qualcomm's QC 3 not being compliant with the USB Type-C charging standard.
