samsung galaxy s3 not chargin from 2100ma Charger

Hi,
I have bought a new huntkey portable charger (power bank) PBA-6000 with output current 2100ma. But My galaxy s3 is not charging with this charger. And my galaxy S3 can be charged from the regular charger and from USB from PC. So this means there is no issues with the phone. I also have one galaxy grand phone and it can be charged from this power bank. that means there is no issues with the power bank. Also I tried two other huntkey power banks PBA-4000 with output current 1000ma and PBA-2000 with output current 600ma. And with these two I can charge my phone.
Can Anyone tell why my galaxy S3 is not being charged by this charger. Is this due to the high current rating? But if it is so why galaxy grand is charging? can there be any compatibility issue and Is there any solution of this problem?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Charger

Hi folks,
I happened to have lost my original charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and all I have now is the USB cable. For emergency purposes, I need to charge my phone and it doesn't charge fast connecting to a PC. I do have an adapter for Samsung Galaxy S4.
Is it OK to use the USB cable on Samsung Galaxy S4 Adapter and charge my device? Or will there be a problem?
My phone battery is a 3.8 V Li-ion and 12.16 Wh
The Galaxy S4 adapter shows an output value of 5.0 V and 2.0 A
Awaiting replies at earliest ...
Thanks!

If that's hard ... can anyone holding a Galaxy Note 3 please post your output value mentioned on the original adapter?

It should be fine, most wall charges are fine. If you want faster charging you can make a charge only cable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwKCXJc1iTc) and it will always charge at max speed. While this isn't good for your PC, it works perfectly for car chargers.
Any 5MV charger will work perfectly.

The official Note 3 charger is 5.3V - 2A, so using a 5V adapter will be fine, just a bit slower.
I use my old HD2 and S3 charger half the time.

using a 2A charger will be fine. 1A charger need double of the time

Hi,
I tested various chargers and usb cables, including the normal micro usb from the older devices, most of them works like a charm
Including my old OTG dongle (usb 2.0), I didn't yet compare the speed difference between both...

buy any chinese charger man it'll be a gud alternate for d original one

You can use pretty much anything.
I charge my Note 3 with the original one (5.3v/2A), I charge it with a Note 2 charger (5.0v/2A) and I charge it with an old Nokia charger (don't recall voltage but it is 0.8A). It will just charge slower, but otherwise works perfectly.

battery problem
recently I've bought a galaxy tab s 8.4 , but take too mach time (about 6 hours) to charging with it's stock charger (5.3 v , 2.0 A) , when i charged with note 4 charger (5 v , 2.0 A) , it charged normal (about 2.5 hours)
now i have two questions :
1. the note 4 charger is suitable for my device ? isn't bad for battery life ?
2.is it possible that the stock charger was fake !!!???

[Q] S5 Bundled Charger

Hi. I'm new here but not new with Android and S5.
I am wondering if anyone else tried to measure the Bundled S5 charger performance. Anyone?
I got my S5 on the first day it was available locally. Then I tried to measure its charging and was surprised to see that the voltage was much higher than usb specs. I am wondering if it is still safe to use 5.6-5.7V charging mobile phones. I think 5.3v is still on the safe side, but I think 5.6v is stretching too much. I'm guessing Samsung used 5.3v to hasten charging a little bit (A x V = W), but was also surprised that S5 saps only 1.75A even though the bundled charger is rated as 2A @ 5.3v.
I know that the charger should output less than 5.3v when a device is attached because of the power load. But it seems that is not the case.
I haven't used my S5 charger frequently, I still often use my S3 charger and my powerbank which are only giving out 5v.
I am asking here first before I go to Samsung Store and try to have it replaced. I don't want to waste effort going there if all S5 chargers are the same anyway.
I am unable to directly post links, so please see the attached image and the youtube video with the video ID.

[Q] Galaxy s4 charger

Hello,
My brother's galaxy s4 i9505 need a new charger because its original charger broke. So i did some searching on the internet, and found out that i9505 support qualcomm quick charge 1.0, and also found a charger which support quick charge ( EP-TA20ewe ), but the problem is that if the EP-TA20ewe charger is a quick charge 1.0 charger or 2.0 charger. Even if the charger supports quick charge 2.0 is it possible for my brother to charge his phone with the charger?, that seems logical for it to support, but i dont know if EP-TA20ewe is for note 3 or note 4 or s3 or s3 , i dont know for which mobile phone model samsung has designed for.
Can you guys please help me find the original samsung charger for samsung galaxy s4 i9505 which supports qualcomm quick charge 1.0 for EUROPE , and i would like it to support 2.0 if it can charge s4 without any heat problem etc.
Thanks
I dont know if i posted this post at a right place, sorry for that

Amazon for your country should have them. I just went to amazon.co.uk and searched for Galaxy S4 charger. The first two hits were for chargers. There may be more in the 144,000+ results.
Failing that, call Samsung. They should be able to sell you a charger.

No fast wireless charging option? Wtf?

Hey guys, one of my co-workers has a S8 (Cricket). He just noticed that under his settings in the battery section, there is no toggle to enable Fast Wireless Charging under the Advanced options.
I've been searching here as well as in Google for any answers. I've seen a thread or two randomly on other forums, one was a VZW customer who apparently found from their customer service, that there was a known issue on some devices and the fast wireless charging option was removed. Not sure if this was in a series of production, maybe earlier production devices? That specific thread was from the beginning of Dec 2017.
I've really found no concrete answers, and actually don't get anything when I search that is specific to Cricket Devices. I've got an ATT S8+, and I have the option and actually use fast wireless charging every night.
Hoping someone knows a way to force it back, or if this is something to be fixed by Samsung?
***EDIT - I just realized that my boss doesn't have fast wireless charging either, she hasn't been able to use the fast charger we got her for Christmas. She has a Vzw S8+.
TIA

It's available after first use with a fast wireless charger. Just put it on the charger and it will be there. Hope this helps.

We put it on a known working fast wireless charger, no dice. It was actually tried for a short period (30 minutes) and then completely charged on a fast wireless charger overnight. Option still isn't there, nor did it fast charge ever while on the charger.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

Use proper Fast Wireless Charger, like Samsung one. Also with proper strong charger connected to wireless charger...

Yes that's correct
You need a fast wireless charger which is plugged in with a fast or quickcharge adaptor otherwise it won't work

Which one?

On mine it's just a matter of whether or not it's plugged into a fast charging brick. If I want slow charge, I use a charger other than the one that came with the phone. Works on my Verizon S8+ no problem

Choetech, using a fast charging brick and cable from a Samsung S7. Works fine for my ATT dev, have tested with another ATT dev (Note 8) and it worked fine on it as well.

I use the following. Cheap and cheerful. Plus all of them are fast.

It's Not the Charger, block/travel plug or lead.
I am, and always have been a loyal Samsung user since the (slide up) D500 which I still have btw.
Had every other S model as my provider contract is over 18 months so tend to miss a model. S4, S6 now on S8+ and had charger port issues with them all. So Samsung changed the port, and lead to one that even an idiot like me can plug in whilst driving in the dark without breaking it. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when my S8 stopped fast charging. As the title states, I have only ever used the charger and lead supplied with the handset and after past issues am ULTRA carefull when charging.
So I bought a Samsung (EP-PG9201) wireless fast charger. Using S8's f/charger block + lead from my S6 placed S8 on it and yeah, it charges but no fast charge? Followed all the settings advice but no Accessories option in Advanced Features, Device Maintenance, Battery, Advanced Settings but no wireless charge option (fast or otherwise) Yet prior to my purchase I checked these settings to see if S8 was compatable and the wireless option was there but greyed out but now it's gone!?!
Soz for the waffle but IT'S WOUND ME UP 100% Any help or advice that doesn't include charger, block, lead, settings, phone case or software updates would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

It works..!!!
Thank you... It actually works.
