i like to have a spare battery always charged in my pocket ready to go.. why are they not out for the galaxy s already?
And where's the home dock and the active car holder?
Samsung should have had all this ready and being pushed out with the iphone 4g pending release.
I am disappointed, everyone here wants this to be a huge success. And after the delays initially and the lack of access.... *shrug*
Australian site techbuy appears to have them:

though maybe they are just listing them without having them yet.. says its 'order-in'
Just buy another micro usb cable and a usb to ac adapter wall charger. Shouldn't cost more than $7 on ebay.

that is nothing like an external wall charger and batteries.. you can have 2 batteries charging at once and have spare batteries.. are you dense.. nothing like haveing to charge the battery IN THE PHONE!!!!
not sure if a lot of folks are just unaware, but every phone i've had charged fine from a usb port off my computer
since i started tethering my phone to my laptop (browse the web from family couch) december 2009, i haven't used the wall charger
even if i'm not tethering, i've got a spare usb cable on the desktop, that when i sit down at the desk, the phone or whatever device, gets connected to - far more convenient and fewer items occupying space on the desk
plus, i've got that Tmo car charger that just has a usb port on it's end - so the same cable that i use to tether to the laptop (when in the car), if i'm using the phone in the dock for nav, runs down to the charger - the charger, with no cable hanging off it when not in use, let's me leave the charger in the socket 24/7 - no looking for it in the glove box and untangling it etc
that charger is simply converting the 14V car voltage to 5 V the USB port normally delivers
2 - 3.5 hours seems to take my 1150mah battery from low charge to full
for what it's worth
Lack of available accessories and software bugs, seems to me that Samsung rushed this thing to beat the iphone4 deadline.
But since they sell this thing in so many countries and networks I expect they will have little choice but to support it properly.
dude ita all ther in korea the gmarket got all acessories already
I'm sure once the Galaxy S class family phones for the US are officially on sale, you'll start to see more accessories be available. Just hold the fort for now man. Be patient.

Well I'm a happy user of the GS and regarding to the bugs.. I never had a smartphone which worked as flawless as the GS (and this isn't my first phone )
batteries and external battery wall chargers are fineally on ebay even though they show wrong battery a8 in the pict.. hopefully the are correct battery.
i've bought two batteries off ebay weren't that good on svc life -
one was complete junk - wouldn't fit unless i forced it and then the phone displayed an error msg
i've come to the conclusion electronic items (especially memory cards) are best not sourced on ebay
that review that engadget.com had about aftermarket batteries, really about the extra capacity batteries that ended up demonstrating that only the really oversized (ie double capacity batteries) even came close to their state mah rating, ended up suggesting the OEM batteries are the best way to go

Dense? You said this on the title which I assume is your question, but can't tell cause of your grammar, "damnit where are the spare batteries and wall chargers already." How the hell was I suppose to know that you wanted a external battery charger from that writing. Learn to write so others can understand what you are saying. Nothing in your question indicated an external battery charger. Just spare batteries and a wall charger. Sorry for not being psychic.
i see a lot of 1500mAh batteries on ebay, but the feedbacks from the sellers sounds like they are dogdgy, also the wall chargers looks horrible it's supposed to be a universar charger, but darn, those thing looks scary, i don't want a battery to blow up mid charge.
anyone find a trusty spare battery and charger caddles yet?

$15 for 2 batteries and a charger...
Cheap.... tempting, but do you get what you pay for? I've never had good experiences with fake/unoffiical batteries.
Does anyone know of a good car charger will not effect the battery of the phone or does rapid charging? Is there one with a voltage regulator so its like charging from a wall outlet?
Also I was thinking about getting a AC car adapter, and just plug in my wall charger that came with the G2.
What do you guys think?
Look on Amazon for a Motorola micro USB charger. It's like $1.50 with free shipping. They accidentally sent me two of them. Works just fine.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I actually use my original G1 charger with a Mini USB -> Micro USB adapter that I bought for $1 shipped from hong kong on eBay, I ordered 5 of them for $5 and they sent me 10 of them on accident... I'm not complaining, now I can use all of my old mini USB cables for the PC as well
I've been looking for car chargers that output 1A.
So far have seen the belkin charger usb port/no cable $10 ebay and radioshack 1.2A corded charger $28.
I can't for the life of me find it sold separately anywhere, but the car charger that came with the N1 car dock works great. Even HTC doesn't have it on their site (that I can find). All they have now is USB car chargers to use with the data cable.
I am new so I can't link to it... but if you go to slickdeals dot net then on the front page there is a deal for the Motorola P513 rapid rate charger on Amazon.
I just jumped on this. Lots of good reviews from incredible, evo, and n1 owners even when using navigation. And it's $5.

If you have a frys electronics near you pick up one of these http://www.frys.com/product/5865763 or order online. Works great is outputs 1A. I refused to pay T-mobile 29.99 for a charger.
has anyone got one on ebay the cheap ones (are they good or keep away from them).
if no good what ones are good
I'm also on the market for a good car charger that will not screw up my phone. Came close to buying the cheapos on Ebay but like the previous poster didn't pull the trigger since I was worried one of those might damage my phone. Any recommendations would be appreciated (or feel free to second the ones that are already listed). It's definitely a necessity since I'll be using this as my primary GPS from now on in my car.
Tell us more about these car chargers that ruin batteries.

Yes, as I am searching for one, would like to know wich ones not to buy!
I got the HTC CC C300, definitely not cheap, but has 2 usb ports whit 1A in both of em, and looks sleek.
Includes one micro usb cable, only power, doesn't work as data cable.

Pay attention to how many amps the charger supplies. The OEM wall charger puts out 1A (1000 ma). It charges at a pretty good clip up to about 90%, to get the battery 'full' will take some extra time...
I bought this Motorola Charger, as mentioned earlier in this thread, and it was worked very well for me. It is rated to put out 950 ma, so just short of the wall charger.

Just so people know, the highest charging current I have ever seen my G2 take is about 771 mA. This data was taken with Battery Monitor Widget. So I don't think it makes any difference if the charger provides 800 mA or 1.0 A.
I got a full kit of an unopened Belkin chargers for iPod/iPhone for 6 bucks at a goodwill and used the car-usb charger and a micro-usb data cable to charge my phone. The charger is really reliable. I've been using it for my G1 for one year and G2 for half a year and there was never any drop in batter performance.
I always thought the cables didn't matter that much, but the charger is the key to ruining the battery.
As to the amps and voltage: On the back of my battery it's labelled 3.7V 1300mA, and on the phone it's 5V 1A. I doubt it's those 1 buck charger is really gonna have a good grip on those values.
I've been very happy with the Dexim dual-USB charger. It plugs into the 12V socket and can output 2 amps (or 1 amp on both ports simultaneously). I bought the iPhone version for the special cable. Other smartphones can use any regular mini or micro USB cable. Great for charging up two devices at once, and it can provide enough current for devices like the iPad.
http://www.dexim.net/us/products/car/DCA154.html
I see they have a version that will kick out 3.1A (!), although I don't think the DZ will take more than about 650-700 mA anyway. It would be nice if someone tweaked the phone's USB firmware or driver to accept a higher current...
Has anyone recently purchased a car charger for their HTC Desire that is capable of keeping the phone charged while GPS navigation software is in use? I'm looking for one which is available through ebay or an online UK retailer.
Thanks
I bought a 5V 2A cigarette lighter to usb adaptor from Maplins, it kept my phone charged on a 3 hour drive using navigation with satellite imagery. I don't know if the data lines are tied, I'm gonna check soon because if the phone detects that the data lines are tied it pulls more current from the charger.
I can't find it on their site though, I got it from my local store.

I've seen some potentially good chargers on the Maplin site but unfortunately they do not deliver to Malta. Do you know of any other UK-based retailers that carry Maplin products?

Ah, no I don't know of any other places that stock Maplin products.
If you do a google search for "5V 2A usb car charger" it pulls up quite a few. I would post links but alas, new user.

My google search didn't return any UK sites so I ordered one off ebay from Hong Kong with a retractable USB cable. Will see how it goes. Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to use any other microUSB charger other than the official one to charge the tablet? I've tried a bunch of spares I have lying around, and none of them seem to work. Is there some minimum voltage required?

They do work, but really really really slow. Android isn't even recognising the charger. You'll require a charger with more Ampéres, I believe.
Anyway, you should check out this topic, especially the second page.
The A700 default voltage is 12V. it will work with 5V but like TomONeill said, it charges MUCH slower and won't even show that it's charging.
Thanks guys! That helps.
My 5 year old ripped the actual mini usb connector from the cord. I didn't received any help from Acer. They want that i sended the cord in, i just wanted to buy a new charger no succes...
I ordered one aftermarket, i received the wrong one, appaerently a 500 charger. I've investigated a lot of aftermarket sites, and they all offered the wrong charger (this was a month after release, so maybe now its solved) In the end with the help from replacedirect.nl i was able to order one. Or qctually they searched a simular charger for it. Hence it's 12 volt as mentioned above.
It reallyu sucks tjat the cord can't attach from the actual charger.
Looking to purchase 2-3 of the charger that originally came with the Note 4 anyone have any idea where to find the genuine original charger??

And yet, going to the Samsung site is fruitless. Not selling what he is looking for as of 1 minute ago.

I called samsung and they said the white 2A charger they sell on their site is the same one in the box.

samsung sales reps are as clueless as most retail store reps. you can probably find better info by searching the net.
this should work....
http://store.androidcommunity.com/samsung-micro-usb-2a-travel-charger/5A17A14236.htm
-nevermind, its not the same.
The fast charger has dual voltage output. One of the outputs is 9v. I'm fairly sure this is the fast charge element.
Doesn't matter how high the mA rating is for the 5v chargers they will not trigger the fast charge process.
I'm gonna keep looking and post here when I find something!
Scroll to the bottom of this page and there are links to the Quick Charge 2.0 adapter manufacturers.

Step 1 - look at the charger that came with your Note 4. If you don't have one, ask someone who does.
Step 2 - locate part number printed on the charger.
Step 3 - Google said part number.
Is this not it?

Absolutely not. This is just a regular charger. Rapid charging is not the same thing as adaptive fast charging. Rapid charging is just a function of the 2amp output, vs 0.5amp on old school usb chargers. Rapid charging is 4+ years old technology, and is the standard charger you find almost everywhere.
Ah this really sucks, i had one nicked a few days ago in a hostel in Romania, i will settle for unoffical if anyone has found one?
I think these are both on backorder until November 4th, but it gives you a place to start.

Register your Phone with Samsung.. they will send you a 50% off coupon. Use this to buy as many OEM batteries as you wish.. $20 is cheap for factory battery.
EDIT. Sry I was speaking about the battery rather than the charging cable. But you should also be able to gr the cable from Samsung as well with the coupon code
Are we able to use the Note 4 charger on other things like Bluetooth and such?
Wondering if it would damage them from charging too fast if it does.
