Hi,
I was wondering if using a 2A charger with a normal Micro USB cable will charge my Note 3 as fast as the same charger with a Micro USB 3.0 cable?
Considering that USB 3.0 only delivers a higher output compared to 2.0 when plugged into a PC, I guess it makes no difference when using wall chargers?
Am I right ?
Thanks in advance,
Ben
USB from a PC will always be less than a dedicated charger whether it is usb 2 or 3. A 2 amp charger is what I use but also pay attention to the lead as some are far better at handling higher currents than others as I found out trying various leads whilst running the app at https://play.google.com/store/apps...=organic&utm_term=galaxy+charging+current+apk

The phone detects if you are using a wall or usb charger, the second is considerably slower. Some usb chargers cheat to seem wall chargers so charges much faster.
What if I use a micro USB cable that is attached to a wall adapter plug, will it still charge fast on note 3?

Charging is not depend on USB 3.0 or 2.0, it acts differently only while transferring data. Otehrwise for charging both works similar.
The stock wall adapter has 2Amp output and I’ve a power bank with same output and the Power Bank provided with a short USB 2.0 cable and with both it takes same time to full charge. So no issues with the cable.

All of my previous phones' chargers have been like 1A and usb 2.0. The note 3 quite obviously differs in both of those respects. Now, I know that I can charge my note 3 using all my old chargers no problem, even if it's a little slow. But, I've got two questions.
1. Does the usb 3.0 allow more current to the phone or just faster data transfer? i.e. Am I losing anything by using the note 3 wall wart with a usb 2.0 cable?
2. If a usb 2.0 will still deliver the same amperage: Say I left the 2A charger with a usb 2.0 lying around and someone with a less powerhungery phone comes along and plugs in, will that damage their device?
Any help is much appreciated.

1. USB 2.0 and 3.0 charge the same. The extra pins are only for data.
2. No problem. Devices only pull as much current as they need.
Can you use a regular micro usb charger in place of a 3.0 cable?
Thank you for the help
Yes, no problem. In fact with my S5 there is only a usb 2 cable supplied.

Yup, you sure can.
Just an FYI: The USB3 cable is in fact micro USB as well. It's just the USB3 version of microUSB. The USB3 port on the phone is backward compatible, so a USB2 cable will work just fine in there. :good:
Yep it will work

So which will charge quicker the stock charger or my nexus 7 charger?
I think they are both 2 amp chargers. What is the advantage of the extra plug on the charger?

It's USB 3.0. You'll get faster data transfer speeds when plugged into a USB 3.0 port on a computer.

faster data transfer rate.
OK thanks.
So the charging rate is the same depending on the "block" amps?
I think the USB 3.0 charges faster even if it's still the same 2A charger

It would seem so, yes. In re: max charging amps, it seems that the S5, much like the Note 3, will charge only at 1200mA while the screen is on and 1800mA otherwise. See discussion here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...48184-galaxy-note-3-max-charging-current.html
To the OP, thanks for starting the thread... I hadn't even realized that the new Micro USB 3.0 connector actually was backwards compatible with the older MicroUSB 2.0 for charging!
Great link thanks!
Yep Confirmed!
There are no many adapters on the market and I couldn't find original huawei adapter. Can I use a regular adapter (samsung 2A for example) with my Nexus?

Yes, but you must use a certified cable. Check Benson Leung's reviews on Amazon to find a good one or use the cable provided in the box.
However you can buy original charger from Google Store or a valid alternative from Amazon like this:

If I understand correctly some articles USB A chargers doesn't support type-c power profile, so the phone will charge at a constant rate without lowering amperage to be gentle with the battery. Furthermore the quick charge is a very useful feature, so I suggest you to buy a compatible charger.
Absolutely. Just be aware that charging of the Nexus 6P/5X is limited to 1.5A over a proper USB Type-A to USB Type-C cable. With a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable and a Type-C charger, it charges at up to 3A (as it does with the official charger).
So if you're worried about speed of charging, you may want to get yourself a new USB Type-C charger, as a Type-A charger will take about twice as long! (a 3A USB Type-C charger takes about 90 minutes) Personally, I just have a USB Type-A charger by my bed, since it will definitely finish charging while I sleep. Then I keep the original charger in my work bag, in case I need to quickly recharge during the day!

I don't know if that's the case, but if it is, I'm not sure it matters. With the USB Type-C charger it's drawing 3A and then lowers as the battery gets full, but I don't know how low it gets. Whereas a USB Type-A charger will be drawing 1.5A maximum, so it may not even need to lower.
Any good USB type A charger that you can recommend?
I Have a good opinion about Samsung adaptive charger that my wife uses with her note edge.

I am partial to Anker brand chargers. I would suggest the PowerPort 2 (as I own a couple), it is capable of charging two devices at up to 2.4A each (while the Nexus 6P can only draw 1.5A, iPads can draw the full 2.4A because of their proprietary tech). But as you can see on the Anker website, they have a ton of different options!
I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. The Nexus 6P doesn't have any type of fast charging built in to it. The phone will charge faster using a USB C to USB C cable because that type of cable is capable of delivering more charge to the phone. So essentially, as long as the cable is USB C at both ends, I should be able to rapid charge the phone using any USB C wall adapter or power and right?
The new wall adapter will have to have the same specifications as the original one. It's not only the cable, obviously.

See HERE. Obviously, select the 6P.
Be sure to read the notes at the bottom for exact specifications required.
Mine rapid charges in the car with an old iPad 2.1A rated usb charger. It doesn't actually say fast charging, but it gives a charge time estimate and it's definitely fast. Can go from 65 to full in a 25 minute drive. Amazing.
I use a USB adapter in the car and get "charging fast"

Hy guys,
so, i have a normal 1A charger with a standard usb to micro usb cable. It takes around 3 hours for a full charge.
I was wondering if i can reduce the charging time if i buy a usb 3.0 cable and use it with my 1A charger. Will i see an improvement in the charging speed? Do i need a 2A charger, and if yes, will it work faster with the normal cable i already have?
Thanks!
ps. my phone is on 4.4.2 with root
The USB 3.0 cable only improves data transfer from the computer to the phone, not charge speed. And yes, a 2A charger will charge faster but only if your current cable supports the 2A. If you have a generic, cheap cable it is most likely it will still only draw 1A of charge.
Thank you. So i probably need to get both the cable and the charger then.
