Just make sure the charger is rated for 2 amps or more.

I went through the same thing. My phone would be recognized by Windows, and I could transfer data but it would not charge at all. After further inspection I noticed that one of the five pins were damaged or not there. I purchased a cheap 1 amp charger and noticed that my phone now took forever to charge. It was only once I did some research that I learned that it must be 2 amps, everything is golden now.
 
Look into some of the chargers in my reviews, there are a few 2A ones. I have been very pleased with Anker stuff so far, even so they like to designate one port for Android and another one for Apple - it seems to be charging at the same rate on both ports (Note 2). Also, keep in mind to use a good quality usb cables. The thin ones for data/PC are rated for 500mA and will slow down your charging as well. I assume since you only have issue with a charger itself, you still have Sammy's original cable? Always use that, or get one from Monoprice with 24AWG/28AWG rating.
 
I noticed the cheap cables don't charge well the other week. I need to get a better long cable.

I just got a 4 port USB wall charger from monoprice. Two ports are rated for 2.1A and two rated for 1a. I also got a 2 port USB car charger from monorprice, each port is 2.1A.

While you're at it, should have picked up these cables as well :) For $1.40 you get 6ft with 24AWG/28AWG rated wires (24AWG is thickness to handle close to 3A) and it also has a decent ferrite core filter. That's what I have been using in my car and at work - no more wire bottleneck while charging your phone.
 
I'm currently using my Nexus 7 charger. Have also used my ipad charger with galaxy note lead plugged in. Both work well and charge the phone in no time.
