GS2's and Tab 10.1's Chargers

Hey guys,
So I got both the SGS2 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I want to know if I can charge the SGS2 with the 10.1's charger.
The output voltage is 5V on both of them. But the Ampere on the SGS2's charger is 0.7A while on the Tab's it's 2A. Should that matter?
Can I charge the SGS2 with the Tab's charger?
thanks

It doesn't matter. Charges just fine.

Any luck with charging the tab with an universal usb charger? If I try that on my 10.1 tab I only get a red cross over the battery status symbol.

As I know the pins on Samsungs USB cabel are not standard. So you need an adapter.
Search for "Samsung Galaxy Tab - USB/USB Adapter" on web. On German amazon adapter is about 2 EUR.

From my experience it has to at least be 2A to charge the tab properly.

Can I charge my n10 with my Samsung Galaxy S3 charger??

Figured I'd ask to see if that'd be OK before I did some damage.
Also could I do the reverse, charge my S3 with the n10 charger??
Thanks!!

Yes you can. They both use a standard Micro USB charger. Any other previous blackberry or android phone you may have lying round will also work

Sure you can.. But it might charge slowly if the power adapter isn't able to output 2A @ 5v

I'm using my S3 charger now on my N10. Charge time is the same.

[Q] does this support fast charging and come with a 2 Amp wall charger?

i ask because the Galaxy Note II charges really fast with the included 2 Amp charger despite the huge battery. so does it?

It will support 2 amp charger but it will not come with a 2 amp wall charger.

I had read it does come with the so called rapid charge charger, where did you read that it would not?

Anandtech said it came with the same wall charger as the Note 2,which is 2 amp.
"This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging."

so even tho it has quick charge, its still slower than the s3? oo wut? it should charge twice as fast with a 2A charger vs 1A. i know the battery is a bit bigger, but it should still be significantly faster than the S3

Quick charge to my knowledge is strictly for usb charging. Wall charging is unaffected by this tech. 2 amp charger for a phone is damn fast, trust me.

The included 2 amp charger seems pretty quick to me. I never owned an S3, so I can't compare to that.

thanks for the reply!

I'd be interested in seeing if the phone actually draws 2 amps while charging or if it limits itself to a 1 amp rate of charge.

got the i9505 today, it comes with a 2A charger and it definitely charges up rapidly. I used the galaxy app from this forum to check charge current and it is flagged as 1900 mA.

For me it is not charging trough the PC's USB:crying:

If the phone's normal current draw is 1900mA, I wouldn't expect much of anything when plugged into a 500mA USB port

Can confirm it comes with 2amp charger and charges fast (Can only compare it to my S2 but I would say its charges quicker than that). Phone does charge via USB but very slow.

It is realy weird, that it is no possible charging from pc!
SOLVED: It was blocked by Battery Monitor Widget

So does or it doesn't support quick charger the samsung galaxy s4 i9505 android 5.0.1?

yes but it will be slower charging

USB3.0 is just MicroUSB with an extra slot beside it. The USB3.0 is in the extra slot.
Stick the plug in the right side of the USB3.0 port (the bigger opening).

Why?

USB 3.0 is usually ment for a faster data transfer. Is this responsible for a fast charging?

It gives the option for faster charging if implemented in the device....it isn't in the note 3 so you won't see any difference in charging speed
Any micro usb charger will work fine.....always shower off a computer usb port unless you have a kernel that supports the force fat charge option

So it means we can use routine car charger during driving for charging note 3?

Yes, any micro USB charger will work. I have used the one that came with my shaver without any problems

No issue, able to reach full charged in about 2hrs+.

[Q] Stock charger only charging at 1A

Hey all,
The stock charger that I got with my S5 (Australian) says it's a 2A charger.
But when I plug it into the wall, it only charges at 1A.
Also happens when I use my 2A car charger.
Anyone else experience this issue?

Possibly only the cable can handle 1A have you tried a different usb cable?

ive had a s4, a note 3, and now the s5, have never seen it go over 1.2 amps using various cables and chargers.
using the galaxy charging current app to display the charge rate

Using the same app, used it on the S4 and now S5 and got the same result. About 1-1.2 amps

Ive had the same phones aswell and with the original usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 cables I get a consistant 1800mah through galaxy charging current app

Stock rom and kernel will only charge at 1200ma max if the screen is on. It goes up to 1800ma with the screen off. The charge rate is still dependent upon having a good or a bad cable though
