So the charger that came with the X is not working. It charges fine with the USB cable from the PC, but when I plug it into the USB wall charger, it doesn't charge although the red light comes on on the wall adapter.

Hi all! I have a htc diamond wall charger. As some of you might know, it plugs to a usb cable. Can anyone tell me if i can plug sgs data cable to the diamond's wall charger and charge the SGS?
Yes, you can. But it probably will only charge at a slower rate @ 500mA. Sometimes, when battery level is very low, 500mA probably won't be enough to start the charging. So, don't leve home without the OEM charger.
Yes, you can. I do this using a miniUSB to microUSB adaptor plug that I keep on the end of a USB-A Male to miniUSB cable.
From memory, the HTC charger is rated at 5.0V @ 1.0A, which is greater than the OEM Galaxy one (700mA I think?). I even use the same microUSB plug with the HTC car charger for the Galaxy.
Yes, the stock HTC charger is probably rated at 1A but SGS is very picky about the charger. Unless the charger is properly terminated, the phone will only use regular USB mode (500ma MAX). You can check which mode your phone is charged as by going to Settings->About Phone->Status->Battery Status. If it says "Charging (AC)", it recognizes the charger as AC charger and can charge at higher current (up to 1A). If it says "Charging (PC USB)", it does not recognize the charger as AC charger and charges at 500mA max mode.
Update: my HTC charger from my AT&T Pure (TD2) shows up as AC charger for my SGS. So, it should operate in full 1Amp mode.
Hey guys.
Weird thing I've noticed after updating to ICS, is that now when I plug my phone into the wall it doesn't charge.
USB charging seems to be fine, as does charging it through a usb to wall adapter.
My home charger works, which is 5v 500ma but the chargers at work were 5v 1a and it didn't charge.
I've just found it really odd, and was wondering if anyone knew why as it used to work fine.
The wall adapter that came with the phone is listed at 2A. I can charge my phone there fine. It also charges on my computer (albeit slowly), through a 1A car inverter.
However, a while back I had also purchased replacement wall outlets, rated at 2A: http://www.lowes.com/pd_437535-334-...7745w&pl=1¤tURL=?Ntt=tr7745w&facetInfo=
My previous S3 charges fine off of it - but my S4 never goes into the "charging mode". I've tried using the USB cable that came with the S4 (that charges fine on computer and the Samsung wall plug), as well as a 3rd party cable that I was using on the S3.
Any ideas why it won't charge on the Cooper wall outlet?
Thanks
Well this is odd, happened overnight too suddenly.
The phone now only takes a change when it's plugged into a Samsung wall charger. I have no idea what could have happened, I woke up like I normally do, phone happened to be off. Plugged it into my normal cable which is in a hardwired USB wall outlet. Wouldn't start charging, the lightning bolt didn't go away. Tried different cables, nothing. Tried different USB wall outlets, nothing. Finally dug out a white Samsung white USB wall charger, plugged it into the same wall outlet the USB charger is built into, used the same cable that was plugged into the wall, and it started fast charging. I have never even seen fast charging before this. Tried different cables with the wall charger, they all work.
Things that no longer work also include plugging the cables into my USB ports on my laptop. The same white usb cable that worked with the Samsung wall charger wont charge on the laptop. Actually, now that I am trying it the laptop / phone doesnt even detect a data connection anymore. The lightning bolt on the phone shows that its plugged into some kind of source but I am watching the battery drain.
So what the heck could be going on? Samsung charger works perfectly and the phone charges back up but anything other than the Samsung charger does nothing
Backstory: My cat chewed on my usb cable while it was charging (stock cable and turbo wall adapter). Phone was off when i discovered it. I plugged in the chewed cable to test it out but it immediately shuts down the phone when i plug it in. Could this be due to a voltage protection from damaged cable?
I replaced the cable but now my phone wont charge on ANY wall adapter, nothing appears or happens when plugged in. But when i plug the phone into my PC it recognizes it and charges it (slowly). Any experience this charging issue?
Which wall adaptors have you tried charging with, and is this with different wall sockets?
Do other devices charge from the same wall adaptors okay?

I tried using the stock turbo charger and various other 5v/2a generic chargers. I even tried a friends Huawei stock turbo charger. My motorola stock turbo charger works on other phones so i know it still functioning
