Oops, I used up my battery :o

I'm a bit surprised that the charger isn't supplying more current even with tasker running.

Look forward to seeing your charging current with nothing running + screen off.

Alright, disabled Tasker. The results are not that encouraging. There shouldn't be anything else starting up when I plug it in to charge, unless my ROM is automatically doing things with e.g. CPU speeds, which it shouldn't be since (IIRC) it's a stock ROM.

Will try it with my old HTC charger and see if that changes anything!
I suppose only other thing is I have Bluetooth on (not connected) but that shouldn't affect it - or it would be affecting the drain times off battery also.

Looks like the old charger I had is less good. To be fair, I think it's only 1A. It was easily draining with the screen on, and barely charging with the screen off (and Wifi Hotspot on).

My next plan is to borrow my housemate's S4 charger and see what happens with that!

Yeah the note 2 charger doesn't seem right. Your right, htc doesn't do a 2a charger.

Let's see how the s4 charger gets on.

When I can I'll pop round to my sisters and do some tests on here note 2. Won't be till Saturday.

Fairly similar results/charge times with the S4 charger.

That's seems odd to me that the supplied 2A charger isn't charging any quicker than a 1A charger.

Maybe someone from the Note 2 thread can check their's too.

Well with the 2A charger it's drawing at least around 2-300mA more than the 1A charger. Not as much more as you would expect, but a definite increase nonetheless. Would be nice if it supplied a bit more but it's not the end of the world

I'll post in the Note 2 thread.

Thing is my S3 and my Mrs Note 1 draw upto ~1300mA with a 2A charger even though they ship with 1A chargers.

I'd have expected more from the Note 2 that's all.

Yeah. We shall see what others are like - could just be the chargers are overspecified for the phones' capabilities.
