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..

Tested three microusb from my "old" htc hd2, two original nokia microusb, and a sony ericsson original microusb.
HTC and Nokia dont work. Can't charge and no data connection.... I only can charge and data connect with the samsung and the sony ericsson microusb cables. I cant understand!!!
(the nokia cable also cant work with hd2!!)
microusb is an standard???
HTC minijack stereo earphone dont work with samsung, also dont work the nokia earphone...
minijack stereo is an standard???

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.

Make sure it gives you 1A of output and you are 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.

Oh I thought you were referring to the wireless charger. Are you asking about the standard micro USB charger? I don't see why it wouldn't work, just be sure that the amperage on the charger itself is at least as high as the stock LG charger, if it's lower it will still work just charge slower. Also note that many non-LG USB cables and chargers cause the G2 to go into slow charging mode.
5V 1.8A is stock charger.
Yh so basically when im
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.

Hi ,
In this case does not apply BUT if we were talking about dose ( like in Xrays) the term mah it does exist.
Not really important and related to this forum but good for general knowledge or a trivial pursuit game

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.
Thank me if i helped.

Enabling OTG support:
Honor 5X incorporates the Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 chip that supports OTG. However, with consideration of the common usage scenarios and product positioning of the phone, OTG is not included in phone functions nor involved in hardware design. Honor 5X has never been officially publicized as supporting OTG.
Using Quick Charger more than 2A:
The Honor 5X supports and comes with a 2.0 Amp charger (In some countries 1.0 A charger). It is not recommended to use any other charger. If used, it may possibly damage your battery.
Note: The above mentioned information was provided by Honor Support team - https://store.hihonor.com/us/ while inquiring about this.
Another charger doesnt damage your device lol. Iets not a Note 7 kappa.

Another charger means, quick chargers and chargers which is having output more than 2A.
I want to hope the phone is able to regulate its current regardless of the fact that the charger might be able to provide more than 2A. If not, the phone might be dangerous to use! I hope the Hauwei hardware designers know the basics!

It doesnt matter.. I can charge it with my 7v charger it only takes 200a. Keep in mind it isnt a type C connector. We are limited at 1500mA through the port itself. If it doesnt have this protection your battery will end like the one on the Note 7..

You're totally right
USB OTG is working fine with alternate ROMs, like CM13.
With all the returns and obtaining of phones I've amassed a nice stockpile of Samsung fast chargers and a few Samsung USB C cables(and adapters).
I've read before that USB C allows for non standard use of cables by manufacturers so I'm wondering if anyone has tried or knows if it will be an issue using the said chargers/cables (yes I know the Samsung chargers are only QC 2.0 spec).
I have a QC 3.0 car charger I got from Aukey during a sale. I have some Aukey USB A to USB C cables too that work fine with my Note 7 too.
Trying to see if I need to slowly replace my Samsung chargers with official QC 3.0 wall chargers (will need at least 2)
Here at work I am using my Note 7 charger setup. Left LG flat cable at home.

Thanks for the reply, that puts me a bit at ease. I'll probably still get some QC 3.0 wall chargers but wait until I see a sale from Aukey for one.
Sorry. Side question.
What's the wattage for the US Samsung fast charger?

It's adaptive fast charger and does either 5.0v @ 2A or 9.0v @ 1.67A so 10w or 15w respectively
All QC are backwards compatible. QC 3 will know you are using QC 2 and charge at the rate of QC 2. If you use a QC 3 charger and have a QC 2 device the device will only draw QC 2. So you have nothing to worry about as long as they are QC compliant
