2.4A too much for S5?

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.

What Specs for original charger?

Hi,
I got a tab 4 10.1 but I no longer have the original charger that came with it and I thought it should be fine to charge with my old 1020 charger. The Nokia's charger doesn't seem to put any power into it and when the tab is off it says that it is charging but stays at the same %
however I have my turbo charger from my N6. I know it isn't charging at turbo but it is still charging the tablet. the Nokia 1020 charge works fine with my N6 and I have tried swaping cables. so does the original charger have different specs to a normal phone charger?

The charger should have 5 Volts, 2 Amperes output. You can read the output small print on any charger. Your phone's charger probably only has an output of 5 V, 1 Amp or even lower than 1 Amp. Be aware that using USB cable for 1 Amp charger, the output to your tablet is only under 1 Amp even with a 2 Amp charger.
So the rule : always use the correct charger and USB cable, otherwise your tablet takes a long time to get full charge.

n910c charges only at 1a on a 2a charger

so i lost my fast charger which i didn't didn't use anyway as i kept fast charging unchecked in phone settings
now i got a new romoss charger which is a good charger AFAIK. it is rated at 2.1a, plugged it in and it took too long to charge. i downloaded an app called Ampere to measure the current and the maximum it gets is about 1000mA.
i thought the new charger was ****ty so i tried my friend's LG charger 1.8a and got the same results. tried another 2.1a samsung charger and nothing exceeds 1a.
is it something wrong with my phone or is it software related?
i'm using eRobot's newest rom with spaceX kernel (also tried googymax and suemax kernels). tried to check the fast charge option and again, same results.
any opinions or thoughts are much appeeciated
thanx

You need a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 compatible charger in order utilize adaptive fast charging on your Note 4([email protected] & [email protected] output). Buy new Note4,Nexus 6,Motorola X Style charger. Also make sure your USB cable is undamaged/good quality, since not all cables actually support fast charging.

i dont need to use it as a fast charger, i just want it to charge with 5v 2a which the chareger is capable of

New charger for our s3 neo

Hi. My S3 neo original charger not charge my phone with full power. Now I'm use CM 12.1 and when I charge ma phone it charge about 500-600 mA but the charger has output 1A. Now my phone charge from 0-100 % almost 4 hour (On stock everything was the same so I think that is charger). I want buy a new samsung charger but in my country( Poland) in most electronic shop is universal Samsung charger but it have output 2.1 A. This is safe for battery and phone or better search for 1A charger?

The phone can accept up to 750mA per rail or 1.5A all in all. The one that is declared 2.1W is OK & safe to use.
P's it's not a charger (93%) but using one with 1.5A(+) will help.

Suggest replacement charger.

My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is taking too long to charge. Earlier, when I started charging it, it would first show 'charging slowly', then 'charging' and then 'charging fast'. Now it is always charges slowly.
I searched around and followed the advice of trying another cable, but the problem persists, so it's not a problem with the cable, but with the stock charger. I borrowed a friend's Poco M2 Pro's charger. The specifications of that charger are:
Model MDY-11-EL
Input: 100-200V ~ 50/60 Hz ~ 0.5A
Output: 5V~3A / 9V~2A / 12 1.5A
Input: 200-240V ~ 50/60HZ ~ 0.6A
Output: 5V~3A / 9V~3A / 12V~2.25A / 20V~1.35A/11V~3A Max
The Asus stock charger is
Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz ~ 0.3A
Output: 5V~2A
When I used the Poco charger using the Poco charger but the Asus stock cable, the mobile started charging quickly, also showing 'charging fast'. This means the stock charger is damaged, and needs to be replaced.
From what I've understood, a fast charger doesn't make any difference as there are limits to what the mobile/battery can accept. Is the same true for the Max Pro M1 as well - meaning a fast charger can be used without any fast charging benefits (meaning same stock charging speed) BUT WITHOUT DAMAGING THE PHONE. This is the most important question I have.
Also, the Poco has a USB-C cable, so I removed that and attached my stock Asus cable to use it - is this okay, like any charger can be used with any cable, regardless of whether it is USB-C or not?
Since I have to buy a new charger, are there any you all would recommend. I've found a few:

I also have the charger of a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Tablet:
Input: 100 - 240V ~ 50/60Hz ~ 0.3A
Output: 5.0V~1.55A
The output of this charger is lesser than the stock Asus one, so would using this one cause any damage to the phone?
Thanks.

Anything rated above 2A will work on this device.I suggest you buy the Ambrane AQC from the first link.I saw another member using it and the charging speed he was getting was pretty fast when compared to the stock charger.

I would suggest Oraimo (2nd option).. I've been using this charger for more than a year now.. Charging is fast and also charges 2 phones at the same time.. It gets hot while charging 2 phones but I have never faced any other issues yet..
