Just went from an S3 to S4 and have a bunch of leftover accessories. Is it safe to charge the S4 with the S3 cables and docking station? I have the EZOPower docking station and it only seemed to connect okay, but not perfect. Not sure if it will fit better with a case.
Just want to make sure there is no harm in using the S3 cables on the S4, i.e. is the S4 and S3 USB port identical?

If you can plug it in then yes, shouldn't be a problem. Just check the output and voltage of the 2 chargers is the same (e.g. 5V 1A). As for the docking station, my S4 hasn't arrived yet and I have seen an S3 briefly but I would think that you probably need to get some kind of adapter or chop it a bit, hope this helps

Using S3 cable for S4 is OK but not the charger. Cause S3 charger is 5V-1A when S4 charger is 5V-2A. Using S3 charger for your S4 will take much more time to fill the battery, that's all, no harm. But never use S4 charger for S3, it will cause problem to S3 battery, touchscreen...
The same for docking station, it will be ok if you use S4 charger for that dock

I don't know what you mean. I've used my father S3 cable few times and it completely fit on my S4, I also used cables from Galaxy Nexus and even Palm Pre, no problem
Agree with this. S3 charger on s4 is fine but slow. The other way round will damage the phone.

Yes, it fits, but look at the two side by side and you will see one is clearly bigger than the other.

S4 charger will damage your s3 & in s4 s3 charger works but take long to charge and drys fast because of low ampere

Hello there
I wanted to ask you people a question about charging the I9505.
I have the official white charger that comes with the device in its box and I have another chargers from other Samsung phones such as Galaxy S3 and some old charger which is one part the cable and the charger (not usb+charger like the charger of S4) of some old Samsung device which I don't have it anymore.
My question is can I charge the S4 with any Samsung charger or should I use only and ONLY the official charger which comes with the S4?
Thanks

Yes you can charge your phone with any Samsung charger but in some cases your battery will be swollen... So is your choice
I use iPhone charger to charge mine and no problems at all

Hello I recently acquired a Samsung galaxy s5 in which I am planning to use more like a tablet then a phone.. The charger port does need to be replaced but I seems like the s5 has 2 options to replace or screen digitizer. . Which screen is if any have to be replaced following the charger port?
galaxy s4 does not working and does not accept charge and very high temperature
I also had an s4 (i337m) that would get very hot when connected to a charger. It got so hot that I could not touch it and could not charge the battery. I had to swap out the motherboard to fix the problem.
My daughter gave me a samsung galaxy s5 phone and was wondering if rcpc components is supposed to be on or off if on how do I enable it because it is off and also I had to have the charging port replaced and now it seems to get hotter than it use to.
