Is there a way /mod to change the current when charging from a USB/ Powerbank?

Hi,
Are you sure it's not the cable that is causing the problem? Does the device uses the whole current when charging from the factory wall charger? It's either this or your Powerbank doesn't give you the proper current.

using the cable on a wall chargee gives me 1200mAh average
1900mAh maximum
so i don't think it's an issue.
furthermore, I am able to chage an iPad using the same powerbank and it charges nicely.
i was just thinking i saw something in before where it changes the current from USB.
well thanks anyway. i guess i'll have to replace ny powerbank

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 use a universal 5V/1A usb charger. No problem.
I think shouldn't be an issue. The original charger was rated 1.2a. I managed to find my old n97 charger with the same rating. Make sure the output voltage is the same (5v)and you should be fine.

charging tf300 from external battery

I got a external battery pack for christmas and I'm using to charge my tablet while I look into battery savers that acutally work, anyway the tablet keeps IDing as a usb charger and not a normal charger and I was wondering if there is some way (hardware/software/kernel) I could change/fix this issue. Any help and idea would be appreciated.

The external battery pack has to have the correct voltage to be recognized as a regular charger, the regular USB voltage is not high enough.
Do you the requirements for charging like the wall adapter?

Tf300t charges at 15V
Regular USB charges at 5V
Is there any way to charge faster with fast charge or something? Or am I out of luck there?

Not without modifying the charger, and that is difficult/dangerous.

[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

yea.. wear and tear condition.. try replacing the USB cable (high quality).. and test it again with USB volt meter...
I've had both the adapter and the cable go bad, so you'll have to check both.

What do u meant by 'go bad' ? Do the refused to charge or charge at a very slow rate?
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA-Developers mobile app
One adapter that would not charge at all, two cables that stopped doing fast charge but would still slow charge.

See after using galaxy charging current app.
