I know the note 3 uses the USB 3.0 with 2 slot. I am wondering anyone dear to try charging with the older cable which the micro usb? My coworks all use that cable. If it work i dont need to use the new cable hehe. Thank you for your information.
It is designed to be able to charge with the old cables as well, as long as it is microusb

I am using the note 2 accessories like dock, charging cable etc work note 3. All work perfectly fine. Samsung had done a great job at keeping compatibility with older dock ,cables etc for note 3.

The USB charger charges the phone faster. Also data transfer with a computer is faster as well.

The USB 3.0 & micro usb charge the phone at same rate. I have not found charging any faster. Data transfer yes is definitely fast when connected to a pc

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.
l usethe old micro USB and it's working

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!

Yes it is original and not a copy. Have 2 of them. But think they were the early release ones with MICRO USB charging port. The ones that arrived later ate usb 3.0
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk
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.

The one and only Note 3 ever released always had USB 3.0, hence it is not Note 3 OEM

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.

Hello everyone, I just bought my Nexus 7 from Ebay (from an UK seller) but the wall charger for UK doesn't work here in my country so:
Can I use the PC to recharge it trough micro USB?
If I can recharge it in this way, recharging needs more time?

1. Yes, you can recharge over your PC USB
2. Yes, unless you have high output USB ports (default charger is 2A, most PC USB ports are 500mA to 900mA) so the charge time is longer.

You can only charge it if the screen is off or better yet if the device is off. Give it 12 hours for a full charge over standard 500mA USB.

Yeah, if you use your nexus 7 while its plugged in to the USB port of your PC you will loose battery, in Particularly if you are gaming lol. Mine when down from of 7% in 30 mins. Use a wall charger.

Surely you could buy a separate microUSB wall charger from somewhere in your country.

Thanks for the answer I will use the one of my note
You could always use a power adapter as well adapt from us plugs to your countries plugs
Chargers....
A Standard AC USB Charger will do the job in most cases, I'm using a powered Logitech USB Hub that just charges my BT Headset, my Galaxy S2 and now my Nexus 7.
If you want some faster charging times a Standard iPad USB charger plug should work, (they're rated for 2.1A instead of the 1A of the Normal iPhone chargers) just use the MicroUSB cable that you have and plug it in.
In response to your App Charger driver, it's probably that AsRock has built their USB ports and plumbed it in to higher +5V Amp line on your motherboard ie. they can deliver more power than the Standard USB Spec (500mA), I'm guessing at their 40% faster claim the port is delivering 900mA.
Good luck! The Nexus 7 has a 4326 mAh battery (ie 2.6x bigger than the Galaxy S2 Battery) so it'll take much longer to fill than all the Smartphones
I'm using a new iPad charger, the 12w version.
It's rated as a 5.2v 2.4a adapter. This is actually more than the s4 adapter which comes in the box which is rated 5.0v 2.0a.
The stock adapter charges the phone whilst I'm using it no problem yet the iPad charger says its charging but only seems actually increase my % when the screen is off. I don't understand this. Same cables so its not that.
The apple charger has pins 2 and 3 configured differently than the Samsung charger.
The phone will therefore not go into fast charge mode
You would need to properly modify a usb cable to get the phone to start fast charging using the apple charger.

Hi folks,
I happened to have lost my original charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and all I have now is the USB cable. For emergency purposes, I need to charge my phone and it doesn't charge fast connecting to a PC. I do have an adapter for Samsung Galaxy S4.
Is it OK to use the USB cable on Samsung Galaxy S4 Adapter and charge my device? Or will there be a problem?
My phone battery is a 3.8 V Li-ion and 12.16 Wh
The Galaxy S4 adapter shows an output value of 5.0 V and 2.0 A
Awaiting replies at earliest ...
Thanks!

If that's hard ... can anyone holding a Galaxy Note 3 please post your output value mentioned on the original adapter?

It should be fine, most wall charges are fine. If you want faster charging you can make a charge only cable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwKCXJc1iTc) and it will always charge at max speed. While this isn't good for your PC, it works perfectly for car chargers.
Any 5MV charger will work perfectly.
The official Note 3 charger is 5.3V - 2A, so using a 5V adapter will be fine, just a bit slower.
I use my old HD2 and S3 charger half the time.
using a 2A charger will be fine. 1A charger need double of the time

buy any chinese charger man it'll be a gud alternate for d original one
You can use pretty much anything.
I charge my Note 3 with the original one (5.3v/2A), I charge it with a Note 2 charger (5.0v/2A) and I charge it with an old Nokia charger (don't recall voltage but it is 0.8A). It will just charge slower, but otherwise works perfectly.
battery problem
recently I've bought a galaxy tab s 8.4 , but take too mach time (about 6 hours) to charging with it's stock charger (5.3 v , 2.0 A) , when i charged with note 4 charger (5 v , 2.0 A) , it charged normal (about 2.5 hours)
now i have two questions :
1. the note 4 charger is suitable for my device ? isn't bad for battery life ?
2.is it possible that the stock charger was fake !!!???
I have a couple 2 amp built-in wall receptacle 5V usb chargers in my house. They have charged everything I have ever owned just fine including my S4 that I just upgraded to an S5. For some reason, these chargers will not charge the S5. My car chargers and every other charger I own, some of which are not Samsung, still charge the S5. Does anyone know why the 5V wall chargers will not work? I have tried different cables too. Everything works fine except these wall chargers. Why would the S5 refuse to charge from them?

So does mine. Like I said above, only the built-in wall USB recptacles do not work and I can't figure out why. They are good 2 amp models that charge anything else that I can throw at them.

Hi,
I am purchased a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 yesterday. The supplied charger works fine. But, I have 6-8 aftermarket micro USB chargers that I purchased from Best Buy (Rocketfish) that do not work. The transformers on those are 2.4 Amp. The transformers on the supplied Samsung chargers are 2.0 Amp. Could this be the issue? Is there any hack to make my aftermarket chargers work?
Did you ever resolve your issue?
my capdase dual charger is not working with galaxy s5
I've had a GS3, a GS4, and now a GS5. The 3 and 4 would charge with any USB charger. Only the charging rate would change. I did some experiments with an old cable and found that the thin wiring in the cable was the culprit of the slow charging. When you get a phone (or tablet) with a 2 amp capable charger, it will be supplied with a cable capable of carrying that much power without a large voltage drop. If you have a lightweight USB cable, the voltage drop in the cable itself will drop below the 4 volts needed at the phone for proper charging.
I have a couple of built-in wall outlet 2 amp capable USB chargers. They charged the S3, S4 and older tablets just fine. Now I have an S5 and just got a Samsung 10.1 pro tablet. Both refuse to charge from the universal 3 amp chargers. They will charge from only the original Samsung chargers or from my laptop. Samsung has changed something in their charging circuits recently. I think if they detect a non-samsung charger they just refuse to charge completely instead of just defaulting to a slower rate. Does anyone know if this is fact or a way I can mod my wall charger to work on the new Sammy devices? I don't mind slow charging.
A couple of my non-samsung chargers not only don't charge but actually drain the battery.
If it is a change then it's not recent. I charge mine from my 3-year-old S2's charger just fine.

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.

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
