A preface before I begin. I only put this in the Note 2 General as I have a Note II. However, this question could apply to all android phones I guess, so if this is in the wrong forum, I apologize.
Anyways, a few weeks after I got my phone, I realized that my phone was charging terribly. After running a few tests, mainly using my friend's note II charger, I came to the conclusion that it was my charger, not my battery that was messed up. I went searching and searching online for a new charger. I mainly looked at the inexpensive ones, and bought one. It didn't work on my phone. I got another, same result. I bought maybe four or five, and cheap prices, but they would either not charge my phone, charge it slower than my use (as the charger in the box did), or charge very very slowly (five percent in 9 hours).
While I still have not gotten a replacement charger, as my original one works maybe 50/50, I ask this question to the android community.
What are trust worthy chargers? There are so many companies online that sell chargers, ebay and amazon both have endless selllers selling "micro usb to usb" chargers, or "chargers that will fit a samsung galaxy note 2."
What are "good" chargers? I mean, how do we even define good? Samsung's site itself sells a 1A charger, rather than a 2A one, like what was provided in the box.
Typing this now, I have no clue where I am going, or what I am meaning to ask.
I guess it's a matter of opinion for all of you out there. When in need for a charger, where do you go? Who do you trust?
