Slow charging using USB laptop! - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hi guys. Is there anything that i could do to make my galaxy note 2 charging faster using a laptop? Charging using my laptop is soo slow! Help guys!

That is the limit of usb on a computer. If you want a fast charge you need to charge off the wall.

Wait for kernels that pump up the charge. (not recommended)

USB outputs about 900mA to charge devices with. Note 2 wall charger has a 2A output. Do the math.

If its a USB 2.0 port I think max is 500mA, USB 3.0 900mA

True enough; I just gave the maximum amperage you can get out of USB. Probably should have been more specific.

Something like this might solve your issue...
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB2HAUBY1-Cable-External-Drive/dp/B0047AALW6
Not sure I would be willing to try it myself though.

Lol, yesterday I put it on charge at 20%, checked it after two and a half hours, and it was at 55%. I have USB 3.0 on my cabinet/MoBo, but just need to find out which one is it, but how do I do that?

This is a known issue on almost all Samsung phones that most people here aren't willing to acknowledge. The USB spec allows 500mA, but Samsung designs the recent phones to only pull 96mA. Apparently some of the modified kernels correct this.
Just be glad it's not like my old Samsung Focus. It would only pull 50mA which was less than the screen consumed. If the battery was totally dead, that phone was impossible to recharge via usb because it would auto-boot after you connected it, which would immediately consume the small charge it had acquired, thereby dying again.

Anything you charge off of a usb port will take forever.

Other brands of phone I've had seem to charge very quickly over usb. My laptops usb port will even give my ipad a full charge more quickly than my GS3.

Guys, try this. I have been using this for a few years now, works like a charm with everything, including iPads

Yes, that feature is included in a number of Asus devices, and it works really well. It's included in my Asus Sabretooth Z77 motherboard, and also on my Asus Diamond router (which has 2 USB sockets).

Why are you guys in such a hurry? I thought that it was best to charge the battery at the lowest possible amps - and the maximum should be 2amp/hour with the wall charger... so, as often as you can, charge the battery from usb, so that the battery lasts longer...?
- Bobo

Or just get a spare USB cable that you dont use to often. Short out pins 2 & 3 to force the phone into AC charge mode. You just wont be able to use that cable for data any more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767961

I was thinking about doing this or at least purchasing one online, but not sure what needs to be done, do I short out the CABLE or do I short out a USB port on a car charge? I read on a different thread that a guy who drives for 30 minutes, increased his charge from 15% (unmodded) to 30-31% (modded) and I think he did this to the USB port in his car charger, but not sure

I wish Samsung would just fix the problem to begin with.

If you're rooted I believe the Perseus kernel increases the USB charging rate to 900ma

I won't charge mine via the USB port..takes too long. Top off, is ok. Complete charge...no way. The N7 has a big battery, so I use the AC charger. 5 hours via USB (dead battery ???) doesn't sound too long to me. Most USB devices only charge at some low rate...like 500 milliamps. You should be using, at least, twice that.

Correct. Laptop ports are around 0.5 amps, the stock wall charger is 2 amps
Of course it will charge slow over USB. Plug it into a wall if you can.

If you look at your Asus supplied Nexus charger you'll see that it's rated at 2A the N7 will happily draw all of that to charge. A pc or laptop usb2 port can supply a maximum of 500mA, that's only a quarter of what the N7 needs to charge at decent rate and you can damage the usb port by putting too high a load on it. My advice is to charge your N7 via the mains charger and forget trying to use the usb port, get a second charger or a portable battery pack if you need to charge while away from home (see the thread on battery packs in this forum for details)
For reference a usb3 port can output 1A if it's set up to do it.
According to Tom's hardware you are still quick. Their graph says 0-100% on usb, screen off 10 hours.

Warning message - charger

My HTC One showed an warning message about not using the right charger! I was using the charger from my Samsung Note II. I thought HTC encouraged customers to reuse existing chargers? Anyone else seen this message before? I'll use the HTC charger now in case I mess-up the battery.
Its because the note 2 uses a higher amp 2 i think to charge.
I think it was the carriers that wanted to reuse old ones. But its best to use the one that came with your phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
It's pretty neat that they warned you when you used a different charger cause if something messes up the battery, your only option is to replace the phone.
I certainly wouldn't want to use a charger that's running at 100% above the systems designed input level. I've been in a room when a L-Ion went boom.
Sent from my Tricked out 2.4.0 HTC One via xda-developers application
has anyone tried charging from the usb port on a pc yet?
As soon as you plug the phone into a PC it is charging.. Much lower output. Never gonna be an issue
I think its fine to use different chargers , as long as it doesnt overcapacitate ur battery. Note 2's 2amp charger might be bad for the battery because faster charge times wear the battery faster

The phone decides how much current to draw, not the charger.
Imagine the phones sucks the energy instead of the charger pushing it.

As someone says, phone decide how much power to draw not chargher.
Chargher just transform 230V AC to XY V DC. 2A is just max power he can provide.
But phone will draw 1.5, 1.7 i don't know how much cuz i don't own it yet.
Only problem is if you have lower power chargher then phone want to charghe is that charhing will lest for hours.

Charger acts like sophisticated pressure regulator.
Its task it to take 100-240V~ convert it to steady 5V DC and provide current. How that current is used is responsibility of device internal circuitry.

Hmm. Maybe there's something up with my tablet then. I found a YouTube video for the tab 10.1 that showed to plug the USB cord in just slightly to where it makes a connection to charge, but isn't fully inserted to make the data connection. This trick is working for me with the USB PC connection and car charger. It makes me think there should be a way to change a setting or something to always make it charge when plugged in.

Sammy has been guilty of moving around power lines on their devices so that only there chargers and usb cords will work. Galaxy 2 phones and a few tablets won't charge on OEM or other manufactures cables.

I don't have the problem. I use a belkin dual port car charger... one is 2.0A ... the second is 1.1A. Charge my note 3 and tab off the 2A plug. I can tell you the tab wont charge on the 1.1A... but the Note 3 will just super slow.
I have a Lenmar dual USB car charger that is 2.1A per port. That "should" charge it, but apparently Sammy blocks it. I wish there was a workaround in the firmware.

No - that is fine. 3A is what the OEM charger should be giving type-C to type-C.
But you should never be getting 3A with a type-C to type-A cable. 2.4A should be the absolute max with 1.5A being a more standard type-A charging level.
ok..I understand. I have also an cable wich shows 3000 when is plugged to the charger. Does it means that I can not connect my N5x with this cable to the computer? Or if I will plug it into USB 3.0 is it gonna be fine?
Thank you

Sorry I was talking about the value 3000... "fusb301/*/fclientnow 3000, which says is not compliant to the USB specs...not aout Amp..And Im usind Qualcomm Quick charge...
From this charger I got at max 2500 mA but for a while after few minutes is this value lower...
and app says charging quickly and phone lock screen only charging so confusing...
The value 3000 means 3000 mA = 3 A.

It charges slow but it's very consistent at temperature management. The device does not heat up like the ones using other fast charge technologies. I just read a comparison article and Samsung's version is definitely not the fastest, but it's definitely one of the cooler ones.

The OP isn't asking about charging speed, he's asking about data transfer over USB.
I have USB 3.0 and 3.1 type A ports on my desktop PC and using a 3.1 Type C to Type A cable it's very clearly much faster than using the cable in the box, which does appear to be usb 2.0 wired.

Yeah I rarely use my phone when it is charging. I use pushbullet on my computers so I wont miss a text or call. I compare the charging speeds of Note 8 to the Note 4 in the morning charging. The Note 8 will not be charged in an hour whereas the Note 4 easily did it. Sorry OP. I'm done.
That brings the question: how do you tell which cable is really wired for USB 3? And what's the difference? Wires have to be the same, is it just shielding? I would imagine due to higher frequency, if signal is not clear it would negotiate lower transfer rate?
I have couple USB wires from Note 7, maybe those are better made?
And is the phone really capable of accepting data anywhere near full USB 3 speeds?

I found an article that states USB-C hubs downgrading speeds to USB 2.0 so I guess thats one of the main reasons the DEX is also limited to 2.0 speeds.
https://gtrusted.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-seems-to-downgrade-usb-3-1-hubs-speeds
I however cannot get USB 3.1 speeds even when using a direct USB-C to USB-C link.
If the Note 8 is not capable of utilizing the full speed of USB 3.1 speeds then I'm quite disappointed.
One of things I really wanted to do was backup DSLR pics from SD cards to SSD rapidly without a laptop whilst on travel.

It turns out the USB-C to USB-C cable I got is not usb-3.1 spec:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/B06Y4N4K9Z
The USB-C to USB-A cable I got that came with the Samsung T3 SSD is definitely USB3.1 spec so Samsung USB-C to USB-A female adapter is probably USB2.0 speeds.
And according to the article going through a hub also limits the connection to USB2.0 so I'll either need a new USB-C to USB-C 3.0 cable or USB-C to USB-A 3.0 female adapter to do further testing.
