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.

Hi,
I bought a wall charger for my N1 today. I was searching for one with 1000 mA output so the phone would charge twice as fast, but after having it on for a long time and seeing that it was only 22% charged, I looked at the battery status and it said "USB". I unplugged it, plugged the stock adapter and it said "AC", and started to charge at the usual speed.
Is there a way to have wall chargers that are NOT the ones provided by HTC charge at a normal speed? thanks!
Interesting... it happens the same thing with an iPhone charger, which have the same output characteristics as the stock charger. I never thought looking at the battery status
FWIW, you can easily see if your phone is charging fast or slow by installing the quick system info app (AC=fast, USB=slow).
I'm using the 1000 mA charger with the USB to micro USB cable that came bundled with the phone. Might it be the cable limiting the power?
I've been trying to figure this out too...
I bought a USB car charger to charge my phone in the car whilst driving.
However even with my phone on standby it still loses power.... I don't know whether it's because I'm using the USB cable or the charger is inferior.
It is rated a 1000mA (the charger).
I bought the HTC car charger from expansys.. bit costly at around £20 for a charger but it works perfectly for me. Drove 4 hours with copilot running, and battery remained perfectly charged
As well as the stock charger, I often use a pikie USB charger with a Nokia micro USB cable... phone reports an AC charger in use.
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.
i have charging issue with my note 3. it's only charge on usb cable, i tried different types if chargers but it doesn't charging.
i tried 5v 3A, 5v 2.1A, 5.1v 750ma, 5v 700ma all of these aren't charging my phone but show charging icon when i connect them, but with pc it charge okay but very slow.
any help?
Have you tried using different cables?
Make sure you use the original cable from samsung.
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
