The proper original charger only outputs at 1.2 amps.
Thank you folks!
Always buy the largest ma adapter you can find..devices draw what they need and you can charge more devices and charge faster when the adapter isn't the limiting factor.

I charge mine with my old G2X charger at 1.0a and it`s ok
Fastest chargers I've ever had are my old blackberry wall chargers. They're even faster than the chargers that come with the Nexus.

As long as your charger can supply the maximum current asked for by the N4 (about 0.8A I think, if memory serves correct, from the service manual), then it doesn't matter how fast or high current it can supply, it won't charge any faster than the stock charger.

i ask because the Galaxy Note II charges really fast with the included 2 Amp charger despite the huge battery. so does it?
It will support 2 amp charger but it will not come with a 2 amp wall charger.
I had read it does come with the so called rapid charge charger, where did you read that it would not?
Anandtech said it came with the same wall charger as the Note 2,which is 2 amp.

so even tho it has quick charge, its still slower than the s3? oo wut? it should charge twice as fast with a 2A charger vs 1A. i know the battery is a bit bigger, but it should still be significantly faster than the S3

Quick charge to my knowledge is strictly for usb charging. Wall charging is unaffected by this tech. 2 amp charger for a phone is damn fast, trust me.

The included 2 amp charger seems pretty quick to me. I never owned an S3, so I can't compare to that.

thanks for the reply!
I'd be interested in seeing if the phone actually draws 2 amps while charging or if it limits itself to a 1 amp rate of charge.

got the i9505 today, it comes with a 2A charger and it definitely charges up rapidly. I used the galaxy app from this forum to check charge current and it is flagged as 1900 mA.
For me it is not charging trough the PC's USB:crying:

If the phone's normal current draw is 1900mA, I wouldn't expect much of anything when plugged into a 500mA USB port

Can confirm it comes with 2amp charger and charges fast (Can only compare it to my S2 but I would say its charges quicker than that). Phone does charge via USB but very slow.
It is realy weird, that it is no possible charging from pc!
SOLVED: It was blocked by Battery Monitor Widget
So does or it doesn't support quick charger the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 android 5.0.1?
Hello,
I purchased my Nexus 10 in the United States, but currently reside in Korea. I accidentally left my wall charger at work today. I always charge my Nexus with the original wall charger plugged in to a power converter just to be safe. But now I'm wondering. I have a Korean USB to micro usb wall charger that I use to charge my phone. It has a DC 5.0V 1000mA charging capacity. I would like to know, would it be safe to use the Korean wall charger, or would I blow up my battery? I've searched all over the net, and I can't get a definitive answer. Please help.
Thanks.

I guess you can try plugging it, but keep an eye on it just to be sure everything is fine. If it starts to become too hot or behaves weirdly unplug immediately! And also, remember to pick back your normal charger ASAP! I already charged mine with a S4 charger with no problems .

Well, do keep an eye on it, it me too, I bought my nexus 10 from the states and using it here in Malaysia with my nexus 4 charger. Everything is fine though.
Nexus4 modded with cyanogen.
I have a N10 from USA, and recently bought a Samsung travel charger in Korea that I use to charge it. No problems at all, both via micro USB and pogo.

My Galaxy S4 charges.... terribly directly connected through USB into my PC in both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 inputs.
Am I doing something wrong, is there a way to boost the charge you get from a USB PC input?
Thanks!
Most USB ports on a computer are only 0.5 to 0.75 amps. To charge your GS4 you really need about 1.0 amps, the charger that came with your GS4 is 2.0 amps. So no you can't get a better charge from your computer.

Check the logo on the USB ports. Look for one with a lightning bolt. My laptop has specified ports that have higher output for charging.

Some laptops from MSI are supported by their utility called Super Charger. This boosts the power output but also removes connectivity (I believe). So you won't be able to connect your phone and transfer data.
There maybe be a utility that supports your laptop for boosting charging. Best thing to do is Google around for some programs.
If your laptop is old you're probably out of luck.

There is a cord that is used for external hard drives on laptops it uses two usb ports but plugs into one drive doubling the power. Just a thought. Only thing is they are usually mini usb not micro but an adapter should do it

Thanks all! I also have another problem!
I read your answers, so I decided to get a 3 amp car charger for my S4! If the original S4 wall charger is 2 Amps, then a 3 amp car charger sounds good, right?
Unfortunately, my phone gains no charge from it in both of my cards, my phones battery just dies slower when plugged into the car.
Any tips? Thanks!

Most car chargers lie about their ratings so that could be one problem, the other, is most phones see car chargers as a usb port charger instead of an ac charger so the rate of charge is automatically reduced to usb charging. Somewhere on here was a thread on how to modify a car charger so the phone would see it as an ac wall charger and allow it full output. I believe you have to open up the charger and jump a wire over. Search on here or google it and you should find it.
Could be a lot of things. But remember you phone will only allow its self to charge at a certain rate. Thus, purchasing high amperage chargers will provide no benfit.
High amperage chargers are more for tablets that require more power for their larger batteries.

Mine does that. I have to reboot it while it's plugged up to my car charger. Thought my charger was bad after taking the MJA update. Still looking for a fix....

Hey all,
The stock charger that I got with my S5 (Australian) says it's a 2A charger.
But when I plug it into the wall, it only charges at 1A.
Also happens when I use my 2A car charger.
Anyone else experience this issue?
Possibly only the cable can handle 1A have you tried a different usb cable?

ive had a s4, a note 3, and now the s5, have never seen it go over 1.2 amps using various cables and chargers.
using the galaxy charging current app to display the charge rate

Using the same app, used it on the S4 and now S5 and got the same result. About 1-1.2 amps
Ive had the same phones aswell and with the original usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 cables I get a consistant 1800mah through galaxy charging current app

Stock rom and kernel will only charge at 1200ma max if the screen is on. It goes up to 1800ma with the screen off. The charge rate is still dependent upon having a good or a bad cable though
