Moved on up from the s4 to s7edge. Had lots of experience with different chargers and cables over the years while settling on 'Ampere' to display charge current.
My old s4 charged at around 1400ma yet the s7edge struggles at around 1000ma ??. Tried a few cables and the standard 2a samsung charger, also the later 'fast charger' that looks the same other than the fast charging lable.
Ideas ?. Thanks in advance...

I've got my note today and the charger has output 5V and 1.0A
My galaxy s charger has 5V and 0.7A
Can I charge the galaxy note with the galaxy s charger? I know it will take longer but beside the charging time is there any other downside? can i damage my battery?
thx for help
I think you might mess up your battery stats if you used the galaxy s one first, but i think if you do the first 5 chargers from flat to 100% to get them right no reason why you couldn't use the galaxy s one. After all usb charging is slightly less output than mains.

I use my GS charger most of the time
I dont notice much difference in charging time.
ONLY charging time is the diffrence. most noticable if gameing, navigating or streaming music via 3G+bt at the same time.
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.

Since the latest ROM update, mine won't charge from "Apple" rated charging ports...

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.
Hi,
Selecting a charger for mobile devices seems to be confusing nowadays, atleast for me[emoji16].
Can help me how much power does the S7 edge needed for Fast Charging and non Fast charging? I understand that the original charger included in the box has 5V 2A or 9V 1.6A output. Am I right to say that when fast charging is off, it will use the 5V 2A and if it is on it will use the 9V 1.6A?
Reason for asking is, I am using the original charger at home and my old htc charger from M9+ in the office. But when I use the htc charger with 5V 1.5A output, charging suddenly stops at 50-60%. I observed that the htc charger gets hot than its normal but my phone doesn't get hot. I turned off fast charging when doing this. It seems that the htc charger cannot handle the s7 edge and stops at certain point when it gets hot.
Now, i'm checking which wall charger should i buy to use in the office as it seems i cannot use an ordinary charger on newer s7 edge device. Am I right to say that the minimum requirement for power output for s7 edge is 5V 2A? It doesn't matter to me if it is just non-fast charge as I normally on my desk all day so non fast charging is okay.
Please help. I need an advise for this.
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
