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.

Is it safe to use a Note 3 5.3V charger on S4
Note 3 Charger is 5.3V
S4 charger is 5.0V
is it safe to use on S4?
Yes. But if you use a different cable it will likely charge differently given the S4 cable is designed to allow faster charging than previous Samsung phones, and even the different charger with the Samsung cable might mean it doesn't charge the same way either (haven't tried myself); this thread has good info.
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 !!!???
I have a couple 2 amp built-in wall receptacle 5V usb chargers in my house. They have charged everything I have ever owned just fine including my S4 that I just upgraded to an S5. For some reason, these chargers will not charge the S5. My car chargers and every other charger I own, some of which are not Samsung, still charge the S5. Does anyone know why the 5V wall chargers will not work? I have tried different cables too. Everything works fine except these wall chargers. Why would the S5 refuse to charge from them?
Weird. My old s4 charger works properly

So does mine. Like I said above, only the built-in wall USB recptacles do not work and I can't figure out why. They are good 2 amp models that charge anything else that I can throw at them.

Hi,
I am purchased a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 yesterday. The supplied charger works fine. But, I have 6-8 aftermarket micro USB chargers that I purchased from Best Buy (Rocketfish) that do not work. The transformers on those are 2.4 Amp. The transformers on the supplied Samsung chargers are 2.0 Amp. Could this be the issue? Is there any hack to make my aftermarket chargers work?
Did you ever resolve your issue?
my capdase dual charger is not working with galaxy s5
I've had a GS3, a GS4, and now a GS5. The 3 and 4 would charge with any USB charger. Only the charging rate would change. I did some experiments with an old cable and found that the thin wiring in the cable was the culprit of the slow charging. When you get a phone (or tablet) with a 2 amp capable charger, it will be supplied with a cable capable of carrying that much power without a large voltage drop. If you have a lightweight USB cable, the voltage drop in the cable itself will drop below the 4 volts needed at the phone for proper charging.
I have a couple of built-in wall outlet 2 amp capable USB chargers. They charged the S3, S4 and older tablets just fine. Now I have an S5 and just got a Samsung 10.1 pro tablet. Both refuse to charge from the universal 3 amp chargers. They will charge from only the original Samsung chargers or from my laptop. Samsung has changed something in their charging circuits recently. I think if they detect a non-samsung charger they just refuse to charge completely instead of just defaulting to a slower rate. Does anyone know if this is fact or a way I can mod my wall charger to work on the new Sammy devices? I don't mind slow charging.
A couple of my non-samsung chargers not only don't charge but actually drain the battery.
If it is a change then it's not recent. I charge mine from my 3-year-old S2's charger just fine.

Just wondering if you ever found a fix for this.
I just got a couple of these new "built in" charging outlets. My outlets are 5VDC 3.0A and they work fine with every other device I have except the Samsung Galaxy S5.

the same here... i have the capdase ampo r2 dual charger... it's able to charge my note 3 but note my note 10.1 2014 and my kid's tab 3 7.0... it has an output of 5v 3.1a (2.1a and 1a)... i'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the tablet coz it charges with i use their original samsung chargers...
I just got a new car charger which has two ports. 2.4A and 1.0A. The 2.4A is "designed" to charge tablets and 1.0 is for phones. I bought this thinking that it would charge my S5 faster, but it doesn't seem to charge at all. It charges all other devices like my iPad, tablet, iPhone, etc... but not the S5. Does the S5 have some amp protection, preventing it from being charged by this?
it doesnt charge my girlfriend s5 too . i bought a power block which have 3 2.4a port 1 smart usb 2.4a and smart usb 1a it will only work on the smart .
i tried charging with ipad charger dont work . portable charger that is 2amp it work. Note 2 stock charger work too . the verdict i have is you cant use any charge that is above 2.0a.
Not true , I charge with my iPad charger just fine.
Also I'm pretty sure the charger doesn't push 2.5amps,
It just means it should be capable of supplying that if the device tries to take that much.
The device plugged into it only draws the current that it can.
What CAN happen with portable chargers is that when the phone nears 100%, it goes Into trickle charge mode with low
Current, and then the portable charge thinks it's done charging so turns off, and the phone never hits 100%. That's why they have a special port for android/iphone on some of them.
@f1ux
Are you using stock kernal or custom ? because seriously i tried for the whole day . it just cant work. i am on lastest stock fireware and kernal SG.
It worked fine with stock straight out the box last week and at the mo it's running 0x0 rooted
I charge mine with dual port car chargers 1a and 2.4a regularly. 2.4a is much faster. But I'm not sure if one or the other has an effect on battery longevity. Stock S5 out of the box with Rogers.
Using 'Ampere' to measure charging current, worked well on my old S4 and showed the huge difference in cables and chargers.
Now with my S7 Edge I'm seeing lower charge currents (max 1000ma compared to 1400ma with the S4). The Samsung 'fast' adaptive charger makes no difference !?.
Loving my new Samsung inductive 'fast' charging pad (around 75% of the cable current as expected) yet if connected to a samsung 'fast' charger the lights on the base just flash ?.
Anyone had experience ?. The model numbers from the supplied charger and cable (new S7 Edge's) would be VERY interesting.
Thanks in advance...
Fast charging only works with the screen OFF
