Hey ,
i have lost my s2 charger and charging the phone by the laptop takes a lot of time , so i was wondering is it okay to use the s4 charger on the s2 ? thanks .
I wouldn't do it but I'm no expert.
My gf used her Galaxy tab charger on her Galaxy phone and after a while it destroyed the battery

NO RISK at all, maximum current charge value is fixed by internal HW/SW phone.
Charge may be quicker.
I have many different chargers charging many different devices without issue. only the charging time may vary (like using computer USB port).

I wouldn't recommend you to do that mate.

I use my S2 charger, or maybe its my Gtab charger or possibly my Note or Note 10.1 charger to charge any and all... No problems here. Samsung just uses a generic, but branded, charger on all their phones. The only difference I have really seen is the connections for different countries, and that is usually just the different adaptor that slots into the charger....

Hi
Can anyone tell me with total certainty if the S3 and S4 mains chargers are interchangeable with either device without long term damage? My S3 charger delivers 0.7A and my S4 charger delivers 2.0A
Obviously I have loads of S3 chargers and don't want to fork out for more for the S4 - would the S3 charger just charge the S4 slower? Would using the S4 charger damage the S3? I still need to use both phones (work/home)
Thanks!

Yes, the S3 charger will just charge the S4 at about 1/3 the speed of the S4 charger. Otherwise, it's fine.

Thanks, I would expect that really but how about the other way around? Does anyone know what the max charge rate is for the S3? If I plug the S4 charger in it provides 2A is this too much for the S3? I have looked around and can't find any max charge rates :s

Well you should test it out, have a battery app or widget on the S3 and charge it with the S4 charger. If it gets too hot, then its best to stick with the S3 charger.

No, I think stuartv is making joke. With different currency, I think you can not use S3 charger to charge S4.

No, it's not a different current, it's just different power with the same voltage. Therefore, both chargers are interchangeable and it won't break any phone, no worries. If the S3 can't drain 2W (I don't know if it can), it'll just drain less.

ah you mean the phone draws the power rather than the adapter pushing the power through the circuit?
Charging any battery at a higher current will shorten the life of the battery, only sightly at those levels though, and vise versa charging at lowers currents will increase the life of the battery

damned physics!
But do the sake of fast charging, I'd just buy anoher battery 2 years later for £10

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 !!!???
Hi all,
I have a Samsung s4 GT i9505 and when i leave it for charge the charger gets very very hot and im not sure on what to do. I only bought the phone yesterday ( 22/07/14) so it was only my first night with it. I decided to switch off the phone and leave it on charge, but that made no difference. I installed all the OTA updates yesterday as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks

I have the same problem with my s4. I guess it is normal for a samsung devices, because I heard from other people having this problem on a s3 or s2
Same here, as long as it doesnt shut down its np, the charger for s4 provides 2A which makes it warm while charging
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
It is not a problem. The battery gets warmer because samsung charger gives more "juice" than most other chargers. The battery needs more power to charge because the phone uses it more, so the battery heats up more. Also, it charges faster...
The higher the charger current (2A), the faster the charge rate, but also, more heat!
Guys my charger isnt a 2A charger, I got a 1A travel adaptor.
Input 100-240V 50-60Hz 0.15A
Output 5.0V 1.0A
But it runs incredibly hot when i leave it for a charge.
Hi, so.. I forgot my charger at work.. and everyone around me use iphones and I have to charge my phone
I found an old samsung galaxy 1 charger, and so far it's charging pretty good..
but I want to make sure that it's safe. do you guys know if using a samsung charger can do any damage to my battery?
I also have dorimanx kernel forcing fast charge mode.
thanks in advance.

Nope, it's fine. It might charge slower, but the voltage will be the same. A non-android compatible charger will only charge at 500mAh due to the way Android determines USB vs AC charging, that's really the only difference you'll ever see on such a charger beyond the capacity of the charger itself, which would just manifest itself as slower charging.
Hi
one week age, I used galaxy note3 adapter for my s5.
from that day, it seems my battery life became shorter (before that i charged my phone every 2days and now i charge it 1.5 day)
was that adapter harmful for my phone? how can I fix it?
What are the output specs of the NOTE 3 charger?
Check them against the S5 charger and you'll have your answer

Unfortunately I don't know the specs.
you mean any difference between them will be harmful??

Well... yea, if the NOTE3 charger is the wrong voltage, you could damage your phone
That's why you have specific chargers for specific devices...
