Hi guys,
i have a european model of the S5 mini (SM-G800F) that comes with a 1 amp wall charger.
I read in another thread that firmware supports up to 2 amps in current. Can somebody confirm this?
I want to buy a quick.charger from amazon (Aukey PA-U28) to charge it faster. Will the phone charge to 2 amps? Can someone confirm this?
Thanks in advance
I am using my phone to charge with my tab's (EP-TA10EWE with 2 amps) and my phone charges normally, but faster.
Can I ask you how much time does it take for a full charge compared with the stock charger? Thanks
Okay, but it takes some time, 'cause my device is fully charged... I will try to make this experiment as fast as I can.

Hello guys,
I'd like to know if anyone here has experience of using a different brand charger to charge Foccus.
I have a Nokia E7 which comes with 1200ma microUSB charger. The one which comes with Focus is 700ma.
Since the battery of Focus is 1500ma rating, I guess there shouldn't be any issues?
Also, charging Focus via it's own charger takes too long to charge. So, using a 1200ma charger will charge it faster as well. Also, it's be far more easy to only plug one charger on power outlet.
Just want to be sure if anyone else has already tried non-Samsung charger with Focus, or any other recommendations / suggestions, before I plug my Focus with Nokia charger.
Thanks,

I've used a bunch of different methods to charge my Focus.
The supplied wall charger, a couple different car chargers, a motorola, LG, and Uniden wall charger, several USB ports on various computers...
So far, no magic smoke has escaped...
Hi,
Thanks for your reply and giving me some idea to try our the Nokia charger with my Focus.
As soon as I read your reply, I put my Focus on charge, and it's more than 20 mins without any smoke
I guess it'll be just fine
Thanks again.

I've also used and successfully swapped chargers for:
Omnia 2
Omnia 7
LG E900
Focus
Any charger/phone combo worked, with no issue.
Hello guys,
Are you still charging with other chargers? , have you gotten any issues yet?,
Please comment cuz I really bored to wait the slow and annoying charging of my standart package.

I also bought from ebay one additional battery and a battery charger (charges the battery directly). Works perfectly. (If interested, search "BATTERY USB CHARGER FOR SAMSUNG i9000").
With 2 batteries you don't need to wait for a charge/leave the phone to charge. I just leave the other battery to charge and swap it when the one in the phone is low. Besides, you have a backup this way too.
I'm charging with microUSB Nokia charger, Nexus One charger, and even iPhone charger with microUSB cable. There is no issue.
I'm using the charger from a Galaxy Ace and no issues.
I have used LG optimus charger and iPad charger (Which comes with 2100 ma output) no issues. But none of these changed or reduced the charging duration (including iPad's!!!)... It is taking 2.5 to 3 hours to completely charge... USB ports output is generally 300ma-500ma, so definitely not recommended!!
I have numerous chargers at home all of which have charged my evo, gs2, Nexus 7, etc.
Can these be used interchangeable in the Note 2 without harming the charging process?
Thanks
As long as the Voltage is the same (5V) there is no Problem. But you should have a charger at 2 Amper for optimal charging speed.
I just tried charging mine with the normal microUSB charger I use for every other phone I have had and it took 7.5 hours to charge from 5%-62%. I used the stock charger that was in the box and it charged it in 3.5-4 hours no problem. Seems like the charger in the box charges faster.
reading this thread made me curious, my NOTE II should arrive in about a week, I can't tell for myself yet, what is the A (amps) specification mentioned on the original charger?
as i come from HTC, my current chargers go up to 1 A current. witch is the double A a standard USB port will give unless crossover'd .
thanks in advance!

in the wiki thread i found the answer, the supplied charger delivers 5 V 2 A output to the device.

2A! Same as the Tab 10.1 charger.
Filling a 3100mAh battery requires some grunt.
i think even the usb cable makes a difference..
when i use the stock usb cable with the stock charger ..my s3 would charge up comparatively faster than with the other usb cable connected to the same stock charger.:rolleyes

It certainly does! :good:
All electrical cables have some resistance. Very low (but not zero) for quality cables, sometimes quite noticeable for thin and cheap offerings.
From Ohm's Law we know that voltage drop will be proportional to current. A cable with a resistance of just half an ohm will loose about 0.5% at 50mA. That's pretty much nothing. However, at 2000mA the loss reaches 20%.
dude use any charger, just don't use LG charger **** !!!!!
You must use the 5volt 2amp charger and cable provided or a replacement with the same output or youll either be waiting for ever for it to charge or do some damage.
I tryed using my note 1 charger rated at 1amp and guess what? It took about twice as long to charge.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Some of my old 1 Amp chargers aren't happy at all, and will often decide to stop charging randomly.
I though it was something weird with my phone, but after switching chargers it never happened again.

USA official charger
This are the images of the official USA charger that will comes when they release the device in USA
And yes its a 2.0A charger, so the SIII charger isn't appropriate for NoteII.
this is the kind of charger used in Canada, USA, and Latin America, i bought this NoteII in Mexico from an authorized Samsung provider, of course factory unlocked 710usd, like 10,900mxn.
Has anyone tried a 3A charger? Just wondering if this would speed up charging even more than the standard 2A charger.

No, it won't speed it up. It's what the device takes from a charger, and not what a charger can potentially supply. If the device's charging circuit is spec'd for up to 2A current, that's what it will suck out of a charger, not more. You can connect a 30A lab power supply, and it will still be the same 2A (or less) input. To speed up the charging process, you need to mod the charging circuit of the device itself.
Hi,
My mom has the old original 1.0A charger for the Note 1 and its started to stamming at charging so I wanted to order her a new one.
I'm using the new 2.0A for Galaxy S3/4 on my xperia Z and it charges up quick and works great. Although the original charger is 1.5A so it might "use" to the quick high Ahmp charging..
Is the Note 1 able to suck up 2A charge just like that? I've searched up a lil and saw that it might needs a profit kernel for that..
She has an old 4.0 ROM (probably over 1 year old), that mostly doesn't support it if its needed..
If so what ROM / Kernel can you reccomend that might fits it?
Any info you got about this could help.
Also if I'm already here, could you please reccomend of a new ROM (4.1/4.2 or anything higher than 4.0 ) that is stable enough for daily use?
Thanks thanks thanks ahead!! appreciate all your answers!
Yarden.
The Note isn't able to suck 1A IIRC, only through hacks. Still, the device charges pretty fast with a standard charger, just make sure it's being detected as a AC charger and not a USB charger.
Hey people. I just used a samsung charger to charge my phone and man! it took me less than 2hrs to charge it 18% to 100% its faster than the stock charger we get in the box. Is it harmful to use a different manufacturer's charger??

I'm wondering if anyone uses a Fast Charge compatible charger.
Well I'm not sure if Mate S even supports it, in the first place
A lot of confusion is going on around media about this subject...

Yes I use a charger from a HTC One M8 and the Mate S charges in about 2.5 hours
For the huawei fast charge, you just need a charger with min. 2A and an compatible cable. E.g. the standard huawei charger cable. I'm using an 24W dual USB charger from Anker and the standard huawei cable. Phone takes between 2h-3h to charge from 10%-100%

I had read something about Fast Charge, a new tech announced by Huawei last November: about 40% of extra juice with a very short 5 mins charge.
The novelty here: (supposedly) no harm done whatsoever to the battery's lifespan/capacity.
I guess i thought that Mate S could be using it already, but no such luck.
Well, to be honest i haven't measured a full cycle charge using the original charger.
If we could get from 10% to 100% for less than 2.5 hours that's not bad at all :good:
Thank you for the tips.

You're talking about the New ultra fast charge Technologie from huawei combined wirh a New type of Batterie they are developing.
