Living in Sweden, I cant use the original charger (without an adapter), so I'm using the iphone charger to charge my Nexus S. The iphone charger is 5v 1A, vs 5v 750mA on the original charger. It works, but it takes forever and forever. around 14 hours from almost drained to +90%. If anything, shouldn't it go faster?
Something broken, or am I missing something?
Swede here...Buy a European micro USB adapter?
Long charge times have plagued the Galaxy S line of phones since the origina i9000; seems to have improved on the NS for me, but it doesn't charge nearly as fast as an iPhone (but iPhone has smaller battery).
Yes, I'd expect a 1 amp charger to go at least as fast.
I'm curious if your phone charges faster on the USB port of your computer than you're getting with that charger.
Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the charger or cord you're using?
As soon as I saw .75a on the provided samsung charger I chucked it back into the box and have been using the 1a charger from my HTC aria instead.....I still get pretty slow charge times compared to my N1 but nowhere near as slow as you are getting!! (14 hours) I too would be interested to know how well/poorly your NS charges through a pc usb or another charger, it sounds like you may even have a problem with your device :s
That samsung charger is just a POS all around IMHO tho....its ugly as sin (freaking huge) and only .75a?? cmaaaaannnnnnnnnnn, samsung!!!
I'm using the little iPhone USB charger as well and my phone still takes over 3 hours to charge. Charging time is horrendous.
My charging problems occur perhaps every tenth time I try to charge it... So something with the negotiation seems thinkable...
Couldn't this hurt the battery/internals?
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,
// chall3ng3r //
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.
// chall3ng3r //
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!!
Hi! I have a Note 10.1 wich cames with an 2.0V charger (instead the N7000 1.0A charger), what could happen if i charge my phone with the 2.0A charger? Will it destroy my phone? Reduce the battery life or something? Futant55 compared the Note1' 1.0A vs the Note2' 2.0A in his N7100 and the 2.0 charged one hour faster than the 1.0A. Thanks!

it will charge the battery faster but in long term reduce the life of battery and may also damage the micro usb port.. they are made for certain voltage only..
Dont do it! I did just that, charging galaxy note n7000 using galaxy note n8000 (10.1) charger, its really fast at charging, very convenient just to bring one charger. After 2 month, my n7000 start to flicker whenever it drains under 20%. since I was using otterbox, never realised the battery is already buldging, even the battery door not holding to the case!.
Come to think of it, i think maybe my board is also faulty after using the n8000 charger,
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

I would install battery monitor widget from 3c on the play store.
A pretty comprehensive battery app and will give you a full history and time line of charging and discharging cycles.

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 *-*

I bought a HEYMIX 45W GaN PD Wall Charger, 30W USB C Fast Charger, Max48W Dual-Port Quick Charger AU Plug, Compatible with Galaxy S21/S20/10, iPhone 13/12 Pro Ma (thats a mouthful) for this tablet but i have an annoying issue since I started using it. I have constant popups showing the charge %
I have tried a couple different cords. I thought it might have been Gauge Battery Widget so I installed Battery Reborn and no difference
Is there anyone else with this issue that can help please.
Many thanks in advance
Same thing used to happen to me on my Tab S7+ when connecting to a non Samsung charger. Try the original charger or a high wattage charger. On my Tab S8 Ultra I have no issues when charging with a 65watt Oneplus charger.

To clarify - there is no "original charger". Samsung doesn't include chargers anymore. I suppose you could mean one that Samsung sells that's aimed at using with this tablet, but wow they're expensive and limited (one USB-C port) for what they are. Looks like Samsung is out of stock of both colors - no idea if you can find them elsewhere.
I haven't been actively using my Tab S8 Ultra enough at the same time as charging it so I don't know if I would experience the same thing. I do have the recent Anker 3-port 100-watt charger for when I have to charge fast (at 45-watts), but I haven't had a need to do that yet.
Thanks for that, the company I bought my charger from sent out a 65w charger and it works great
