I received this amazing charger from Tronsmart to review. This is a desktop USB charger that includes 5 charging ports. 4 ports will charge your devices simultaneously at full speed.
The 5th port is special. It's a Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0... This will charge compatible devices (Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge+) at a rate of up to 75% faster than normal chargers.

My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will completely charge in roughly 1 hour. Please note that your device must be fast charge enabled.
I absolutely love this charger and have mounted it on my end table so it's easily accessible to myself and my kids.
My only grievance is that the USB cable that came with the charger is garbage, at least mine was. It already broke and I simply through it away..

OK, so I picked up a charger that should have worked with our tabs; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QZ8BDC/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details.

It's a 2.1amp USB charger, pretty much as same as our stock chargers, though marketed for the iPad. I wanted to get it because I so dislike how the stock charger wobbles so much when you plug it in, since you have the area around the base of the plugs raised up from the rest of the charger; it can't really lay flat against the outlet. That, and the fact that it has folding plugs, making it easier to toss in my bag (why did Samsung design something as clean and attractive as the 10.1/8.9 tabs, then give it an ugly and unsteady charger?) It looked like a perfect solution.
Only it charges no faster than it does from a regular USB port (if you have a kernal capable of supporting USB charging). Surfing the web will eat up power faster than you can charge. It charges my SGS2 just fine, though, pretty quickly I might add. Is there a different pinout with the stock charger?
Using a wireless charging receiver only works on my Moto X but will not work on my parents? The receiver plugs into the micro USB. Theirs is stock and mine is unlocked/rooted.

500mA seems kind of low. Depending on the settings in the phone (screen brightness, apps running, etc), it might just not register as charging if the draw is higher. I've used older chargers for other phones that sometimes don't even register, or won't actually charge the phone if it is on (drains faster than the charger can supply new power).
There's more running on my phone than my parents. It is recognized by all my other devices, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy Note 8. It seems like it wouldn't work on the tablets because of the mA rating but it does. I don't get why it doesn't work on these phones in particular.
I've been tracking this cable since I first saw them on Kickstarter and got a pack today. The idea here is that this micro USB cable is reversible just like the USB "C" type. Basically there's no more flipping it over and back and then back again to get it to plug in. The way the micro USB cable should have been designed from the start. The best part is that "fast charging" feature still works with the cable plugged in to the stock Samsumg charging base. I just confirmed this on my Tmob S6 Edge.
Also cable works just fine with Spigen Neo Hybrid Series case.

I received this a while back for review and wanted to share this to the community. This is a typical micro USB cable that has a build in monitor that gives you information on the Voltage come out of your charging brick, and how much Amperage your device is receiving. It works really well and is solidly built. This even works with my Fast Wireless chargers. The monitor provides a wide voltage of 3.6-20V and current measuring range of 0.1-3.0A, however it only does 480mbps transfer speeds if you use this as a data transfer cable. Price is a little higher than others, but the build is so much better of stuff I used before this. Its great if you are trying out different chargers and charging bricks. Also, would be perfect for the Pixel XL since its the most finicky device with voltage and amperage.
