Got this from the German Amazon site. 5 days shipping to UK.

Works with a 2 amp charger I have, no not charging symbol.
Will test later with laptop and Mac usb

Wait, so finding a 2 amp 3rd party charger isn't enough?
No, there is some circuitry in a branded Samsung Tab charger that tells the tab to pull down the full charge. A third party charger will work but very slowly and the tab shows a not charging symbol in the menu bar. This little adaptor in my first post fools the tab into thinking it is connected to an official charger.

Don't know. The package came in a jiffy bag with just the invoice and no other packaging so it's hard to do any detective work by manufacturer or product code.

I ordered a couple from the Amazon DE website a lot cheaper than Amazon UK, if you order more than one, even though you have to pay post and packing.
Nice find i just hope they work.
I don't read German so it was fun placing the order

Wish I'd bought two at the time. Now I have to pay another lot of postage.
It's charging now from my laptop USB. 5% in 10 mins so much faster than normal.
I have a couple of these data/charge cable on order, they seem to get a good review, they are cheap at only £1.60 each.
They take about 10-15 days to deliver, so dont buy if your in a hurry.

I bought a couple of 3rd party cables too. They seem identical to the original, minus the Samsung logo. You'll still need an adaptor like in my first post of you want to charge fast from usb or 3rd party chargers.

I dont want to go modding chargers, some are not easy to get into, also some device might not like the mod, it`s easier just plug in an usb adaptor , also+ , I am definitely not going to mod the ports on my notebook , when the usb adaptor work on your notebook too.

dunno with tabs, but i had an experience with blackberry which oftenly charge with 3rd party charger (for car) which caused ic charging damage. I had mili charger but haven't use it with tabs just because the original travel charger is so simple to carried out with
I received my usb/usb adaptor`s and they seem to work great with all my usb chargers and even with my notebook, though the data connection does not work.
There is no circuitry guys. Its a standard for USB charging where the data lines are shorted. I use my 1A HTC desire charger regularly and it works just fine. Just need to get a good charger.
What I'd like to see is something to let me charge and sync at the same time because often at work battery dies while I'm debugging.

Not Correct, I have been soldering the data lines together on my usb chargers for years to get my Sony mp3 to charge and non of these chargers will give me full charge mode, just trickle, now the usb/usb adaptor works great.

hi dudes
my galaxy i9000 does not charge!
i tried to charge it by a nokia n8 USB cable,cause i had forgotten my charger
after that whatever charger i used,even its own, no response!!!
now it doesnt work
several repairmen said that all the gadgets are ok, but the path from the charging socket to the port is cut off somewhere, and nobody has the map for this path!
please,please,please someone help me and provide me with the maps.i desperately need'em!
i spent 700 bloody bucks on this phone.my gmail is [email protected]
Never ever try another phone's charger on Galaxy S, or any expensive phone as a matter of fact. SGS, has different voltage and ampere requirements.
By repair men, do you mean Samsung Service centre? Service centre is your best option if you do not want to risk your phone.

I don't know about you, but when I tried using different chargers, the touch on my phone did not work. And I do not want to take the risk to screw up my 600$ phone over some 10$ charger... Get genuine stuff and be on the safer side.

Myhm. First of all, If i'd be you, I would do two things:
1. Compare parameters on orgiginal charger and the replacement
2. Look in accessory threads, for example First in a row
You know, I'm not you, so I like to learn before I write complete bull**** somewhere.
A little bit of education to be on safer side.
Stop being a ***** man. People make mistakes like I did not see the requirements for the charger before hand. The common notion is that if the pin/jack of the charger fits into the phone, the phone will get charged. That is why I said don't be like me and plug in random chargers which fit in the usb port.

You stated previously: "Never ever try another phone's charger on Galaxy S, or any expensive phone as a matter of fact.", what is absolute bull****.
As it is shown in the thread linked by me, ANY charger with current bigger than 900mA will work properly and safely.
The issue, that you have plugged something completely irrelevant to your phone doesn't means that SGS will work ONLY with original charger. Period

i got the new (circular) wireless charging station from samsung as well with s6e. i was wondering if i can use the advance fast charging that comes with the phone on the wireless charger to have it charge my phone wireless faster.
or will it damage the charger?

I don't think wireless charging will be any faster no matter what 5v USB adaptor you use as the wireless pad will only put out a set current, but I used the adaptive fast charger that came with the phone and to give you a rough idea of it's speed it topped my Edge up from 24% to 97% in about 2 hours. Quick enough for me and way faster than my old Nexus 4 on wireless charging.
While we are on this subject, would it be harmful for the phone to be wirelessly charging and plugged charging simultaneously? Would it do nothing, charge even faster, or overheat and damage the phone? I dont plan on trying it, just curious.

I would imagine that once something is plugged into the USB port (charger, OTG or whatever) wireless charging would be disabled as a safety precaution. This has been the case on other devices and I assume the same would apply in this instance.
The new wireless charger from Samsung supports AFC (adaptive fast charging) and it works with the cable and power brick that came with it. Been confirmed online a few times and I can also confirm because it charged my phone from about 5% to 100% in under 2.5 hours. That being said it's still not as fast as just plugging into the wall.

Just so everyone knows how it works you can use either the charger that comes with the phone or in the box with the wireless charger. As far as it charging faster the way it works is 50% in 30 mins when connected physically to the wall. On the wireless charging pad it goes up 20% in 30 mins. Now the good thing about it is when the devices charging port goes out you can still charge your phone and it's faster then the old pad they used to use.

This makes little sense. If it supports fast charging, it supports fast charging. If it's "not as fast as just plugging into the wall," then it doesn't support fast charging.
Fast charging will get you from 5% to full in around an hour, not 2.5; which correlates with where wireless tech is right now. Because regardless of whether or not it can support the power input from a fast charging adapter, wireless chargers currently cannot utilize "fast charge" tech. The fastest wireless Qi chargers currently are 5V/1A chargers. That's as good as it gets right now and they're nowhere near fast charge spec.
So regardless of what you may have seen "confirmed" online, the Samsung charger isn't a fast charge device.
I am using a wireless charging and I would comment like "so far so good"
I think you should also try this. !!!

The charging pad for me is a convenience factor. The fact that the fast charging gets ours phones up to 100% in 1-2hours depending on who you listen too is already fantastic. I like the idea of just walking in my door at home and placing it on the pad. Who cares if it takes a little longer that plugged in fast charging. Enjoy the ability of just placing the phone on the pad when you get home and have things to get done right away. Can't believe so much negativity for a phone just released with no development yet such as custom ROMs and kernels to make a beast of a phone, a KILLER beast. Sorry, just too much negativity for me. I have owned every Samsung Galaxy all the way up to this Edge 128GB. Yeah, you can't remove the battery. Yeah, no SD card slot. But the Internal memory is so damn fast, I am no longer in that complaint department camp. As for people moaning that their rear glass magically broke all by itself...I have a hard time believing that. I bought a Spigen NeoHybrid case that covers the back with a nice rubberized well fitting cover. The edges of the case ar metal, so you still have that wonderful tactile feeling of a solid metal phone. Best Samsung phone to date, IMHO and once ROMs and custom recoveries come along, it can only get sweeter. In the meantime, I will get off my soapbox and enjoy a phone that far exceeds my S5 and happily wait for developers to do their magic. Patience is a virtue. Sorry for my rant if it offends those that expect perfection out of the box. Yes, it's a damn expensive phone. So are IPhones. And they had issues right out of the box and their OTA fixes caused worse problems. I rest my case.
EDIT: The help so far from users here in general have been fantastic and my hat off to thos that helped me deal with softbricking my phone from either initially using a root file that didn't work for our 925 models, to showing the way to use Kies to actually restore the full stock image, and to ZiDroid to actually give us the ability to at least have a working stock recovery screen instead of the dreaded black only screen after rooting. And I enjoy using apps that require rooting so as far as warranty issues goes, I don't really care. If I can Odin, Kies, smartswitch or whatever new stuff comes along, then I'm a happy camper. Other here just need to do a little reading and search before posting rants that have fixes already out there posted. Off soapbox again
S6 wireless chargin box doesn't include cable and plug in it. I will buy a new data cable and plug for it. Should I buy adaptive fast charging cable and plug which comes with S6 or can I use S5/Note 3 charger for it? I am asking cos S6's adaptive fast charging cable and plug is more expensive than S5 charger

That's probably why you just got the pad since it was a promotion. I bought both of mine through samsung mobile website and they came with white ones but not adaptive fast charging. The pad cannot charge fast with it anyways.

Hey Peeps
Anyone else getting slow charging on SM-T810?
Using the bundled charger, I am getting average of only 680mA .... Definitely nothing over 950mA and that is even when screen is off...
Using the same charger and cable on my sony xperia Z3 easily achieve 1400mA ...
Same sort of numbers with other chargers etc... So pretty sure it is device not charger...

I just tested and am getting around 1500 mA. That is with my nexus 6 charger.
Bundled charger gives me around 1460 mA.
Are you certain it`s not the app that is wrong as the S2 is new and the app might not have been updated yet, Try the Samsung charging app below, you have to keep pressing the refresh button on the free version.

The charging rate can be anything from 300mAh to the maximum the power adapter can output, the tablet will determine the amount of power it will accept, and will jump from fast to slow charge depending on how much more power is needed until it reach 100%.
Thanks guys - obviously does not seen to be wide issue.
I tried the Samsung app above ... Sort of showed similar values ....
I did a charge from 69% to full and it took about 1.5 hours... So would be maybe 5 hours to charge fully?? Unless the device does much quicker charging at very low battery??
I will do a full discharge down to say 5% and then charge from there and see how I go.
Thanks again

Normally it will trickle charge slow once it reach approximate 80%, and is normally fast if the unit is almost power empty.
It's annoying. I've tried both ipad chargers and a 2.4A charger, but it will go to slow charging mode with anything else than the bundled charger.

Yeah i have found exactly the same!! Must be some sort of Samsung handshake protocol...
There is another thread on this that I have mentions about this, just use a good quality charger, or just go for a Qualcomm QC 2.0 charger from any known brand like htc, aukey, xpower, lots to name, just searh Qualcomm site for a full list.
It won't used the QC2.0, but all should work just like the OEM Samsung one
the ipad charger should be pretty high quality though, so I don't get why it's being so picky.

If you also followed the tab S thread, it's also been mentioned, Samsung tabs S are also picky, and yes all apple stuff don't work.
Should I rephrase it and say some good quality charger will work, even branded ones like sony may not even work, but my intital testing, most QC 2.0 charger will work.
The issue is that I'm trying to find one charger that will charge both my tab s2 and my iphone 6+ quickly. Any idea how qc chargers fare with iphones? The bundled tab s2 charger only gave my iphone 0.4A (it charges the tablet at 1.5A)
I have both sony and asus chargers with included cables work perfectly with iphones and sony xperia z3 and nexus 7... Hopeless with S2.... But s2 charger works fine with them..

Odd, my old Nexus 7 2012 charger fast-charges my S2 710 without any issue at all. I had it spare as the N7 died on me (the S2 is its replacement) and was initially wondering myself as I had a few supposedly 2A chargers at home which only slow-charged the S2 (or indeed under Android 5.0.2 said it wasn't charging at all, even though it evidently was, but 5.1.1 has fixed that).
That said this is a charger without fixed cable (but with a decent USB cable) and I know from Raspberry Pi experience that the cable is almost as important as the charger for getting decent charging (ie enough current) to the device on the far end.
I would make sure the USB cable is a decent one intended for charging.
Proper charging USB cables have the shield connected at both ends for use as ground which is why they are notably thicker.

I agree, a good quality cable is required, as well as the charger itself, I'm using a magnetic cable and a reversible micro USB cable with a OEM Samsung, Aukey and Xpower charger, I don't get the speed of the QC 2.0, but it isn't suppose to as the S2 is not QC 2.0 compatible, but it does charge pretty quick, it also charges my ipod 4, and my nw-ZX2 work without any problems.
I get the "slow charging" message when using the Galaxy Tab S2 bundled charger.
If I use the charger from my Note 4 (Exynos) I get faster charging and no "slow" warning.
Did Samsung bundle it with the slow charger??
I can confirm that samsung did in fact bundle the tab s2 WITHOUT a quick charge usb charger.
I also thought the tab s2 didnt come with quick charge. I have extremely slow charge times but my battery lasts for DAYS... I can fully charge it, put it in airplane mode and check on it after 2 days and be at 98-99% battery.
I also use the quick charge cable AND the quick charge usb adapter that came with my note 5 and the tab still slow charges..
Here the same problem use Samsung charger and cable charge from 20% to 100% in 6 hrs and when use HUAWEI cable with Samsung charger It charged in 2 hrs
I guess Samsung have poor quality cable *-*

You can't use wireless charger because simply our phone doesn't have a wireless recoil in it so it's a hardware thing
