Help i'm Frustrated with My Note2

Did you read the comments at Amazon?

First off, it comes with a 1.5amp charger - FINALLY somebody in China figured out that the Note uses a 2amp charging circuit. Most other cheap charging units use 500ma chargers (.5amp) they have laying around on the shelves by the millions. Anything less than 2.0 amps means a long charge cycle

Anything less than a 2.0 amp charger is going to give you problems.

Don't feel bad. It probably was not there when you made your purchase. The whole idea in a nutshell is this. You should be using a Samsung charger. Preferably, the one that came with the phone.
One other thing. Watch out for the ah hem (cough) OEM Samsung chargers too. It's just my opinion. But, I am not going to use a cheap charger on a expensive phone.;)
 
The one that came with the phone was replaced. Then the one that they replaced was again replaced a second time, The last one they gave me is a Verizon charger. The charger that i have been referring to in my previous posts is a desktop charger that i bought on Amazon.

Glad u fixed ur charging problem. Stick with the genuine Samsung gn2 charger. My clone charger for my extra batteries takes over 20 hours to charge a gn2 battery. My old Epic 4G charger takes forever too. My original gn2 charger & cable rapid charges it REALLY quickly. It tops off the charge almost immediately. Also, I have learned NOT to buy anything on Amazon that doesn't have a good number of reviews over more than a few months. There are a shockingly high number of fakes and substandard gear even on amazon. I expect fakes on EBAY but was surprised how bad the problem is on Amazon . My GN2 has been a flawless performer even with the dreaded 4.3 update. Of course my bombproof Otterbox Defender case helps. I wonder how many complaints about the note could be related to unprotected drops. That thing is so skinny and slippery I certainly would have killed mine many times over if it wasn't for a protective case...
 
Btw, my GN2 and original charger indicates 1% of charge added every 2 minutes and 36 seconds. That's empty to full charge in about 2 1/2 hours. (Battery widget info)
