Car Chargers drain faster than no charger

A strange problem I've had for about 3 months.
If I plug it in to the car charger (even keeping it in standby mode or off) it drains the battery in from full to empty in just over an hour.
Tried different cars
Different chargers
Different ROMS
Charges ok of computer usb
Charges ok off powerpoint
Has anyone else come across this problem?

N10 loosing batt while plugged in?

I've noticed lately that my N10 is loosing power even while plugged in. I ended all apps and started a movie using the hdmi cable. The battery was at 58% and was plugged in to the account, the battery under settings showed it was charging using ac. Anyhow, 90 minutes later the battery was at 44%… all radios were shut off as well as everything that was not needed.
This was only to verify the drop I have been seeing lately. I notice the battery dropping quite a bit while only using the Web with it plugged in to the charger. Shouldn't it stay at the same level if not charge while using it connected to the AC charger?
Thanks for any insight.

If you're watching a movie or playing a game? No, I'd expect a drop in charge.
If you're browsing the web however, and don't have a bunch of processes running, I'd expect it to maintain if not barely charge the battery.
It's been pretty well noted that with the juice used to play games or watch movies the factory charger can't get it done.
I'm getting the pogocable for just that reason. Elsewhere, a user mentioned they watched netflix for an hour while plugged into the pogo charger and it only dropped 1%.

I was reading up on the pogo cable and it mentions it has a voltage control chip installed in the cable. Is it possible that the micro usb cable that came with the nexus might have the same type of thing? I don't know which micro usb cable is the original to my n10, I do still have the original ac transformer. But some of my micro cables don't seem to charge as fast as others. Maybe they have an amp limiting circuit for other equipment?

[Q] Charging takes for ever.

I don't actually suffer from battery life problems like some other owners. My problem is that it takes for ever for my phone to charge. My phone has been charging over USB attached to my computer for 8 hours and is only at 83%. When it's attached to the mains it's pretty much the same story. I'm not running any apps. 3G, WiFi and Bluetooth are turned on though.
How can I resolve this problem?

well, if plugged into a computer/usb, itll take much longer to charge. are you using the original usb chord? when plugged into a wall charger, how long does it take?

Current draw is about 700mah on average. Battery size is 2100mah. So it should take 3 hours to charge with the wall charger.
USB is another story. If you charge and surf at the same time it will be consuming battery rather than charging.

The problem seems to occur when I don't use the original USB wall charger. Are not all USB chargers the same? When I use the original charger, I don't seem to have this problem.
If WiFi was left on while charging on a computer USB port, would this effect the charging speed?

[Q] Charging problem

I used ordinary low charge cable to charge my Note 4. Then when I tried to charge it with the original Fast charge cable it wont work any more.
Does this mean that the fast charge cable is not working any more?
Or I need to do something with the setup?
Please advise

A cable is a cable. There aren't fast charging cables or slow charging cables .... Try to go in Battery settings and reactivate Fast charging

Erm... Not 100 % correct.
Cables DO make a difference. We're trying to transfer at least 2 A of current via thin wires. That needs a specific cross section of the wire; many USB cables use internal wires thin like a human hair, which could cause problems like overheating or simply reducing the charging current, resulting in longer charging durations.
Samsung doen't provide that thick, stiff cable with their high-amperage power supplies without a reason.
So please stick with the cable provided with your power supply; it really is the best choice, keeping you and your Note safe.
And: Nothing wrong with fast charging !
Zyad: Try charging your Note with the original power supply using the original cable, but charge the phone switched off for the first time.
After charging, switch on, use your phone till the battery is down again. Then switch back to fast charging.

Could not have said that better myself.

slow charging

The phone takes up to 10 hours for charging although i enabled fast charging. Any help please.

I am also facing that issue...the problem is with cable...try with another fast charging capable cable.

I tried different charger and cable(15w) . No difference
