New AC adapter & USB cable - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Accessories

My USB cable charger cord that came with my P-600 is starting to loosen up. You know, when you have to adjust out so it's in the slot just right in order for it to charge. I know that you can't use just any AC adapter combined with just any USB cord to get the power needed to charge a tablet fast and efficiently. Are there any recommendations out there for a new AC adapter and/or USB cord that has been proven to work well with this tablet? (Besides buying a replacement from Samsung.)
Thanks.

Cant recommend anything specific but remember the note 10.1 2014 uses a 5.3 v charger (and not a 5v charger like most smartphones)

Right. I think most smartphone chargers won't even be able to charge a tablet at all because a tablet, any tablet, needs more power (volts) to charge it effectively. I've tried using my Galaxy S3 charger to charge my Note 10.1 just to see if it would work and it shows the charging icon with a line through it (doesn't charge at all).

Any charger will work, but the higher-wattage ones will charge faster. Samsung ones are available all over the place AMZN/FLEABAY/A4C/etc. for cheap (<$10).

My original charger and a supposed duplicate purchased later seem to be charging slower as time goes by. Just as with my last purchase have read a good bit. But I too need advice on the best safe but fast charger and cable. I'm seriously considering the above recommendation for the Anker 40w (8A) 5 port charger. At most I charge only two devices at one time and usually only one. But if this is solid and reliable, the extra ports are ok. Before ordering, several questions:
- I notice the write up states two ports have the IQ charging - is this the case and are they labeled?
- I'd be charging my LG G3 with this too - any issues doing this?
- Lastly, seems cable length/gauge can affect charging speed, right? Which cables are folks having best experience with? I'm considering: http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium...ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ. I prefer long cables if possible...
Bottom line, want a solid charger and cables for my Note 10.1 2014 Edition (and LG G3 if possible) that I won't have to replace in 6-12 months. If there's a two-port of same top quality, let me know too!
Thanks in advance!!

Went ahead and ordered the Anker charger and instead, am trying the http://www.amazon.com/Hi-mobiler-Go...8252875&sr=8-2&keywords=28/24+micro+usb+cable. See it's 28/24AWG hopefully will do the trick...only worried about the gold plating (ones tried before from Amazon seemed to get "lose" their prongs and slip out of my tablet's charging slot). Not sure if it's the gold being softer or ?
In any case, do let me know if anyone thinks the charger would create any issues if used on my LG G3!

All 5 ports are IQ.Charges a Note 10.1 2014, S4, Note 3, Z blue tooth headset and a LG tablet all at the same time and all quickly and fully. Great charger.

I found an issue with the Anker and one of the half a dozen devices of all kind I charged with it.
The touchscreen of my Huawei Tablet acts weird when connected to the Anker. This is a not uncommon thing, but first time i encountered it. And found the reason.
The Anker emits some weak 80v AC current on the GND line. Tested with another brand name charger(One for All, the universal remote maker). That one carried 20 Volts. My previous fav charger also emits AC, like with the Anker, the Texture of the tablet's aluminium case felt rougher during charging, when softly brushing over it with a finger tip. Only there were no touch troubles. Which can be avoided by touching the metal frame with your thumb during tapping the screen.

Is there any concern with this potentially causing damage, or just an inconvenience if plugged in while using the device (if one's unit was emitting that current)?
In my case, I haven't noticed this with either my Note 10.1 or LG G3. My guess is if it hasn't happened after a month or two, I don't need to be overly
concerned - the unit is functioning properly?
Personally, overall been happy with the Anker and haven't noticed any issues...
Thanks!

I had no damage so far, and the Note is happy with the Anker. And it seems that many or most chargers seem affected, like at least three of mine. Probably Samsung's too. Connect a multimeter to Usb 5v ground(the metal shield of the plugs seems to be griunded, though I tested with the plug for my Huawei tablet. Connect the meter's ground probe to something appropiate, like central heating, water pipe or the third line of the mains, which should be "protective ground" or something.
The current only produces a slightly bitter taste on the tongue, near nothing, but it's amazing how the feel of a metal surface changes.

[Q] Need Opinion/info on Qmadix 4.4A USB Triple Travel Charging Hub...

So Im in desperate need of at least one more Wall charge for my galaxy note 8.0 and Galaxy S4. The only problem is they're either pretty expensive for the more legit products, or sketchy. I just need the white box part that goes into the wall outlet. SO incredibly embarrassing and frustrating that I can't seem to figure out what it's actually called. In any case, through my searches I found this:
Qmadix 4.4A USB Triple Travel Charging Hub
It allows for three ports, but each port is designated differently. well, okay... two are the same (1A), but ones different (2.4A). I have no clue about electricity, except to know if you don't use the samsung recommended converters it could damage the battery in the long run. Im under the impression that both of my devices require 2.0A. Does this mean only the 2.4A port would work?
Is anyone familiar with this Item Ive listed? Could I use this device to power bot my Galaxy Note 8.0 AND Galaxy S4 at the same time?
It seems like such a great deal and very compact. Can't pass up without at least asking about it.
again, Im asking about the:
Qmadix 4.4A USB Triple Travel Charging Hub

I appreciate the reply. I had actually seen that and immediately fell in love... but I just as quickly wrote it off because of the additional cable thats required to plug it into an outlet. I need something more compact... something with collapsible prongs.
Another one I was looking at is this one iXCC Dual USB 4.2 Amp (20 Watt) SMART High Capacity AC Travel Wall Charger...
Any thought?
Ports listed as 1A might still be able to supply 2A for your phone, but they might be right at the top of their current limiting (thus running warmer). The whole thing about using only Samsung provided charger is just to scare you off so you buy their original overpriced accessories But there is a truth to it as well, when you buy cheap stuff from ebay where they sell 1A rated outputs labeled with 2A and can run into a problem above (overheating, which causes short, which can cause a damage to your phone). Anker is a trusted brand with a decent quality control, RAVPower is good, and I heard of QMadix before as well.
Here is a problem. When you are dealing with wall outlet converters with multiple outputs that carry a lot of heat/power, you are too close to the main electrical outlet. So, I would be careful not too overload these. Maybe using 2 devices plugged in at a time is ok, but NEVER 3 at a time. When you have something like that 40W Anker converter, you are placing it away from the outlet, it exposed to air circulation from every side (cooling it better), and it should have some fuse or internal protection in case of a short. I understand, for convenience you need wall converter that plugs in, but make sure you get a double one, not the triple output one because i would consider those to be not as reliable when you are charging 3 devices at the same time while plugged into a single wall outlet directly.
Anker also make this one: www.amazon.com/Anker®-4-Port-Charger-Travel-Adapter/dp/B00EI8SS4U/ - but I would not load more than 2 ports at a time. Or if you load 3 or 4 ports, make sure it's not overnight when you are sleeping and that all 4 charging devices are not drawing max current
Btw, one quick question... The Anker 40W 5-port USB wall charger... Should I only charge 2 devices at a time with it aswell? or was that referring only to chargers that plug directly into the wall because of the heat issue?

You can use all 5 ports on that one (40W version that doesn't plug into wall outlet directly). That how I do it all the way, mostly using 4 ports at once to charge my Note 2, my Metawatch smartwatch, my mp3/DAP player, and external battery. Sometime also add my wireless headset too

[Q] Galaxy Tab S Wireless Charger?

Hey guys, Is there a Wireless Charger for Galaxy Tab S 8.4 or the 10.1 model? I tried searching but I keep seeing Qi Wireless Charger supporting most of other android device except Galaxy Tab S. Please do let me know ( link) if you found a wireless charger for your Galaxy Tab S. :fingers-crossed:

The Galaxy tab does not support Qi charging built in. To only way to support wireless charging would be to add a universal micro USB Qi receiver such as the one in the link below. However based on the size of the tablet, not sure if this would even work well due to the position of where the receiver would sit in comparison to the charger. Personally, don't think it's worth it on this tablet.
http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Wireless-Charging-Micro-USB-narrow-interface/dp/B00JQ4YWVE/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1420055644&sr=8-12&keywords=usb+qi+receiver
There is a reason, which is to reduce the wear and the chance of breaking the usb port. 2 different phones I was able to keep using for a year after the usb port broke because I had hacked in the receiver from the Palm Pre. There was no way (for me, without more exotic equipment than a fine tip soldering pen) to re-solder the usb port. Too much stuff crowded around it and it was surface mount. But I could get 2 wires on to the ground and +5v easy.
Warranty isn't an option unless you never rooted, so that leaves having to be very careful never to break this weak point for the next 5 years.
Myself, I can't see sticking that thing on mine either, I'm just saying that there are reasons one might want to and it's not automatically ridiculous or pointless.

Don't get me wrong, I love wireless charging and have been using it for a couple of years now on my phones. I also thought about it for my LG G Pad 8.3 tablet. However don't think its a good option for the 10.5. Reason is as I mentioned, positioning. Most chargers are small. Positioning the tab on it may prove to be challenging due to sign. I think it would end up leaning off to one side and not being able to get in a good position. Thus would be frustrating. I think the 8.4 would stand a better chance but not the 10.5. Just my opinion anyway.

You could probably just put the charger on the tablet in that case. It's also perfectly possible to make your own tray that has the charger embedded in it.
For devices too large for the charger. Cut a piece of cork(same thickness of the charger) to the size of the largest device that needs charging. Cut out a hole to imbed the charger into the cork. Cut out a hole in the end of the cork for the charger power cord. The end result is the charger and the cork will provide a nice flush surface to charge any size tablet.
An easier way to charge tablets is to lay the tablet face down and set the charger upside down on the bottom of the tablet.
QI is designed for phone
Guys,
Ive been charging my tab (had a couple.. current one is Samsung Tab A) for years.
I simply buy a charging receiver with a USB connection. Plug it in, tape it onto the back and away you go...BUT...
USB charging receivers are designed for phones. 2000, 3000mah batteries so a charging input of 1000mah is ok. The tab battery is 6000 so a 1000 charger is Slooow
Most USB (wall) chargers are 1000mah and/or 2500mah.
wish someone would make a 2500 qi qharging receiver.... then life would be much better.
Even thought of updating my tab so I have faster CPU and USb type C connection... problem is QI for USB-C is also only 1000mah... WHY???
Faster charging would be much better

which USB cable for Original Charger Note 10.1 2014

Hello guys. I own the P605 model for 2 years now and since then the tablet runs smoothly like butter. Now the only problem i encountered is that the delivered USB cable is showing some signs of tearing at the side of the micro-USB pin after becoming suddenly yellowish in color after the last charges. My question is which USB cable should i buy now for the original charger of my note tablet to have the same power supply as before, considering that it has to provide 2A and 5,3V. I hope you can help me out on this task and i m looking fwd to your answers.
Unless I'm misunderstanding you, any micro USB cable will work with your charger. Some companies advertise gold plating, cables specifically made for charging, or faster/optimal charging speeds, but any cable will work. I've used about 5 different cables with my tablet and my phone. All of them were just lying around the house.

do yourself a favor and don't cheap out. those 5/$5 cables have crappy connectors and fall apart quickly if they even charge at all and usually dont carry data. Anker's cables are great, and not overly expensive. I haven't had luck with nylon braided cables either, stick to rubber i would say

Choetech Fast Wireless Charger

I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
The fast charging works for a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, right? As far as I know that's a requirement as the new charger operates at a higher voltage.

It will fast charge at a higher voltage on a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, but will work at normal speeds on every other Qi enabled device, including our moto 360.

I have not tried it but I would assume with how well the fast charge one works, the cheaper one should also work to charge out watches without overheating them.

Just from experience, no science here.
A normal Qi charger will take about 2 times as long to charge your phone as a standard 2a charger.
This fast Qi charger is about the same speed on a compatible phone as a normal cable charger.
The fastest way to charge is with a qualcom certified quick charger and phone, that is significantly faster than a standard charger.
Think I'll pick one up,no overheating,that's worth it alone.

Compatible USB-C cable

I bought Blitzwolf 3A USB-C cable which I am using in my car with Android Auto & my HTC 10.
While I am switching to 1+3t I am thinking if I can still use same cable for Android Auto+charging in car
Any ideas?
The cable should be fine, but it will be trickle charge. Only the dash chargers provide quick charging.
I got this one for $6 on Amazon and it's Benson approved. I also brought a few Otium adapters, which sell a pair for $7 and of course Benson approved. They are so small, so I just have them all over the place. One in a bag, one in the bedroom, one in the car, and one in the office. If anyone found a good Benson approved USB-C cables that sell in packs with at least one 6ft, please share.
I bought a pack of these: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Adapter-Type-C-MacBook-Google/dp/B01ANLA6OU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1480436320&sr=8-5&keywords=usb+b+to+c+adapter which work ok and I didn't have to buy all new cables, at least for now. I will eventually get a new cable though.

These allowed you to trickle-charge via standard microUSB, correct? I have a 3T on the way, and I don't look forward to being chained to one charging cable.

Yes, they work fine. Description states it also has a 56kOhm resistor to prevent damage, but I don't really have any way of testing. I generally only use it as a backup at this point.

I had a Oneplus One and the only thing that broke on it was the charging cable, so being tied to one cable gives me pause.
Always go for high-quality well known and reviewed usb-c cable's. As dash charge uses 4 Amps+ you will definitely need a high gauge cable (thicker copper wires) to safely carry that amount of current. Tell tail signs of cheap cables are obviously slow charging but the worse case is a buildup of heat and short out of the cables. Braided also tend to have higher wear and fraying resistance. I went for one of these Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB

Yeah I just got one of these but Dash charging doesn't work. Might buy an extra from oneplus and reverse engineer and make my own.
I did discover the 1+3T slurps 1.5A (voltage drops to 4.6V)out of my desktop-PC USB2.0 socket when no data-connection is provided, and nicely reduces the current to 495 mA when connected to USB.
This with original dash-cable and Legion meter. I did not try for long though, as my mainboard is only rated for 1A.
From a good high current (IKEA) 3 x 2.1 A adapter it also takes 1.5A, with no voltage drop. So it looks to me that the phone is charging with 1.5A unless a dashcharger is directly connected, or reduced to 0.5 A when connected to USB.
When connected through my Legion meter, it will charge with 1.5A even if connected to a dash-charger.
From the cable-tables, you can select AWG 23 for 4.7A, AWG 27 for 1.7A and AWG 32 for 0.53A, so there is quite a difference

I had a Oneplus One and the only thing that broke on it was the charging cable, so being tied to one cable gives me pause.

If you want to be able to quick charge you will be tied down to the stock cable. I have an abundance of USB-C cables that I used to use with my Nexus 5X (charged at 2.3A on average) and none of those cable come close to charging the OP3T at 4A. I usually get around 1.4A when using 3rd party cables.
Gor this one in AliExpress, dash working and fast delivery to Spain https://es.aliexpress.com/item/100-...-Flash-Charging-USB-Wire-For/32708785156.html
I bought this before 3 months https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...32695530105.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.nTY2Iz support dash
Also seeing about 1.5a while using high quality cables and powerful charger...tested using Ampere. Just glad that this is my first android phone that I don't need to charge throughout the day.
Previous phones: mytouch4g, s2, note 3, note 4, note 5.... Never really put the 6p through its paces.
