Yes. For that matter any charger with output of 1amp or less is fine. Just make sure out is a good quality charger- Samsung is just fine.

I have this rule when it comes to charging phones: If it fits, I charge.
Which is not completely safe, but hey, YOLO.

one of my family member is an excelent multi device reparator " every thing which works with electricity "
he told me that if the phone power is 5V 1A, then all chargers that are less than 1A will make the battery HOT
and all chargers that are more than 1A it's fine to use them because the phone will use only 1A so the charger will gives him only 1A
(i tries this on other devices)

i used my phone with a Sony Ericsson charger and it worked as if a ghost is using my phone (touchscreen is working randomly by itself) then i used a samsung charger and its good. But still i guess using the original charger from htc is the best. I have to buy one myself :/

The stock HTC charger is 1A. The stock USB charging voltage is 0.5A... My phone does not get all that hot with my stock charger or while charging through USB. And my car charger is 0.5A too, does not heat up the phone even while using GPS. The way it gets warm in all three charging scenarios is the same.
So- what I posted is from experience, that too with 2 HD2 phones that I have and use for close to 3 years. And yes, I have my multimeter and soldering rod handy too!

It won't be enough if you're the type that uses the phone while plugged in. IF on the other hand you don't use your phone while charging, it will be enough.
If you still have your original HD2 data cable, though, you can leave it plugged in your PC and it will charge up fine as though it were using the original wall charger. Which is what I do most of the time. I only use my wall charger for emergencies, or when I don't have a PC to plug into.

It will be fine. The phone/battery controls the charging current, NOT the charger. You could safely use a 2A charger, and it will still be fine - because it won't charge at 2A - that's just the maximum the charger is capable of.

While a charger rated at higher amp wont theoretically hurt the phone or the battery, I had a sour experience with my $1000 SE P900's charging circuit going for a toss after plugging it in to such a charger- this was in 2004/5. I have stuck to lower-or-equal amp chargers ever since.

i think that chargers and power sources which are bigger than or equals to 1A (like original charger and PC's USB port) are the ideal for charging ouer HD2 (specially when using android NAND)
i think thet chargers which are less than 1A are like someone who wanna take more than 5 persons on his small 5 places car !!!
no ???

No, less Ampere = less current flow in a given amount of time, so by analogy you have 40 persons and you must carry them to point A to point B: if you use a car (5 seats) you need to make at least 8 rides to complete the task while with a 10 seats Van 4 rides are enough. Or you can do it with a 52 seats Bus (1 ride) but the extra 12 seats are'nt making you going faster.
Now, the car is a 0,3 A charger, the Van is 0,6A and the bus is 1,2A.
Is'nt the perfect example and the value aren't at correct ratio but, oh well...

the charger don't know anything at all, i'ts the phone (and the control chip located in the battery) that do all the work and decides when to stop charging.

[Q] My beloved Nexus wont charge more than 0%

Hey guys.
I just got my Nexus 7 from a friend who just came home from usa. I love it. But I'm having a serious problem... It wont charge over 0%... I'm charging it through usb beacuse I don't have an adapter yet. Gonna buy one tomorrow. But I've charged it for about 45 min - 1h now, and still just 0%, seriously, more than one hour to gain one percent??
WHY AIN'T MY NEXUS CHARGING??????
Thanks

Use the GNexus charger, usb probably doesn't put enough juice through..

The stock charger for the n7 is 2.0a, USB 2.0 has an output of 500ma max, it just isn't enough power to make a major difference.
even a gnex charger wouldn't be as good as the n7 charger, my gnex charger output is rated as 0.7a on the charger.
My S3 charger is rated at 1.0a

In Ireland we have 220v as well so it should be fine, the charger handles what is output to the device so it should be fine.
The device in every country has the same input, its the charger that is different.

Ahaaaaa. Thank you! I just checked my n7 and it had been charged to 5%, puh, now I know that there's nothing wrong with the battery
But tomorrow I'll go and buy a charger that will send out 2a right? Or what should I buy?

See if you can get an official one from eBay or something, I don't wanna tell you to get a 2.0a charger just in case.
Mine says output 5.0v 2.0a on it but non official chargers may not be good for the device.

How long does your phone charge from low to full? Mine is around 2 and 1/2 hours maybe? Im using my Nokia 808s USB charger though. havent tried charging it with the included white charger, cable is too short for me.

Hi,
What is your charge time?
Mine is 2 to 2 and a half hours.

Which battery and/or charger are you using? After coming from the S2 I have noticed a large decrease in charging time with my S4, so this is very surprising to me.

Well I tried charging from my computers use port at work today only rise 20% in 2 hours

...*facepalm*. You're not using original charger and you're complain that the one you use doens't works so well? Do you know that original charger is pulling 2000mA out, while your usb-port is pulling between 300mA and 500mA (depends if it front or back usb-port and the quality of usb port). Do the math, 2600mAh battery and 300mA / h. Full charge should take: 2600:300 = more than 8.5 hours.
With original charger S4 recharges from 0 to 100 in 1h 49minutes. If you take a solar charger it will charge even slower (like 48 hours for 0-100%).
Next time try to use your brain before complaining.

Your Samsung power brick has the cable physically attached to it? If not, you can just use a longer cable with the Samsung power supply.
The included power supply is 2 Amps, whoever is getting long charging times, make sure you use either the original Samsung power supply, or comparable in amperage supply.
Mine charges in 2 and a half hours.

Mine takes 2 to 2.5 h to charge from 0 to 100 percent. You should only use the new white charger, it's more powerful than the black one from s3, it's output is 2.0A ,old one is only 1.0A. Newer use other chargers as they may mess up your battery or phone.

I have to check the amps but based on google the Nokia Charger is at 1.3 Amps. I need to remind myself to switch the short Samsung to longer Nokia cables.
Is it safe to get a higher Amp charger, the one that the iPad uses to charge my S4? No drawback execpt for a faster charging time right?

Take it this way, grilling meat takes for example 45minutes to cook completely. You take it to some powerful furnace like 2000degrees for 5minutes then what do you expect from it to give you back? Well cooked meat or some burned meat outside and maybe raw inside?

put it this way... the s3 comes with a 700ma charger. it charges a bit slow. and has a 2100mah battery.
the s4 comes with a 2 amp charger. thats 2000ma. it doesnt charge slowly if you use this charger. i personally am going to pop it on this charger when i get home from work and then keep it on my 700ma charger overnight... no reason to waste that powerful output, it will simply waste electricity.
make sure:
1. you use the charger that came with it
2. you use a cable thats as long as (or shorter than) the stock charging cable. longer usb cables tend to charge the phone slower.
also keep in mind usb ports charge any phone slowly. the s4 will charge even slower on them because the battery is oversized compared to most.

I'm using note 2 charger and if I surf Web while charging, literally it is not charging at all.. battery is not going up or down.. Note 2 was not like this.. i could charge battery even if I play 3d game..

wow... what a science expert... first time i heard that longer cables charge slower... LOL
u funny dude.. there is no such thing like that buddy!
its just a software issue. S4 is just released and the chipset is very new. u people should wait for sometime...its a matter of few firmware releases from samsung for S4 and all the issues will be resolved. just like the latest issue resolved the over heating issues.

USB is too low a voltage to charge a modern smartphone all that quickly, my S4 take 2.5 hours roughly to full charge on the stock charger.

The battery charger is really weak on XZ

So I was playing this game..And suddenly I get the battery low..i kept playing till it reached 2-3 %..Then I plugged in the charger and while it was charging I kept playing the game..suddenly the android os shuts down in the middle of the game..Apparently I cant play games while charging at lower levels..The charger cannot take it and the battery discharge is greater than the charge! This is so stupid..I am supposed to use my phone anyway I like while charging the phone. Why is the power on the charger so low?

Are you using stock charger with stock cable? (=short)
It's 1500 mAh, you don't really see chargers that have more output than that.

heat is the problem, if it get too hot it get thermal throttle, so thats why they gotta use 1.5a charger

can i use the ipad charger?

blame the screen, the phone charges fairly quickly with it off.

Sorry if this has been asked. Can I use the OEM/stock charger of the Nexus 6p on the LG V20?

I use it and my old charger from note 7 also

Thank you sir.

Mine works with variety of QC2.0 chargers
Note 7 one (with retail package)
Anker
Tronsmart.

I have charged mine with my brothers stock nexus 6p charger and it charges pretty fast. Havent timed them or anything but its definitely as fast as the stock v20 one. Only problem is if its safe or not since there is that whole debate about Qualcomm's QC 3 not being compliant with the USB Type-C charging standard.
