more amps, faster charging.

Recommend fast dual charger?

Im looking for a dock/charger that will charge my phone plus a spare battery including thicker extended batteries like my hyperion 4200.It would also be awesome if I could charge my phone with a case on it. I dont want a charger that will charge any slower than the stock charger. Can anyone recommend a dock ?

Griffin 2A chargers!

Thats a dock? where can i find it?

Unless you also root and install a kernel with a "fast charge" option, a 2amp charger will do you no good; it will charge just as fast as the stock 1amp charger.

I bought a 4 port charger by Skiva. It's a little expensive but it works really well. It's a 4A charger.

There was an article a while back by android central that the blackberry playbook charger will charge an android phone faster than the stock android charger. But it's not a dual charger.

I think most blackberry chargers are 1amp or above and samsung oem is like 750ma I believe...

My stock Samsung charger for my sgs3 is 1.0a.

Anyone else?

What app to test charging rate?

For my OG note, I used the skyrocket charger test. However, I cant seem to find one that displays charging mAh for the note 2.
I purchased a 2.1amp car charger and I want to make sure it's charging near that rate.

Is it okay to charge GS3 with .7 amp AC charger?

Hello,
I picked up a Samsung oem charger from eBay and noticed it differs in output amps in comparison to the wall charger that came with the phone. The charger bundled with the phone is rated at 1 amp, but the one I just bought is rated at .7 amp.
Is it okay to charge the phone with the .7 amp charger? I'm afraid the phone will think it is 1 amp and miss calculate the charge of the battery. I don't know if this is something to worry about or not so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
Phone: Galaxy S3 SGH-t999
ROM: CM10 Stable
Charger Model Numbers
1 amp = ETA0U61JBE
.7 amp = ETA0U60JBE

It should work just fine. May take slightly longer to charge though.

I have a .7 amp plugged in next to my bed for overnight charges and it works just fine. It won't charge my tab2 to 100% though.

Will it really be that much longer in comparison to charging via USB? :cyclops:
Edit: USB via PC

Usb via pc is .5 amps

If it makes you feel any better I just received the OEM dock and it came with a 700mA charger not 1A. I agree that it won't charge as fast as a 1A charger but it shouldn't make that much of a difference.

It'll probably take 30% longer to fully charge with a .7 vs a 1amp

Quick charge mode and older ac-wall chargers
The store owner of where I bought my phone advised against using anything other than the charger that came with the phone. Mine is a Galaxy S4. Supposedly this came down from on high from Samsung. Supposedly, the phone does not differenciate between chargers and will try to pull max amperage when the wiring configuration matches a wall charger (looped data lines?).
For example, I have an old Galaxy S1 charger rated for 0.7 amps and my indicator app shows my phone pulling 1.9 amps through it when the cable is straight as can be. So far, I have not found this charger to become hot and there may be a possibilty of it catching fire since it is not designed for 2.1 amps that the phone is capable of pulling.
Someone I know used a car DC to USB adapter that was rated for under what the phone could pull and in short time the adapter itself either caught on fire or melted. Somewhere in between.
The phone will pull as much as it tests that the power chain can deliver and that is whether or not that power chain can safely deliver it. Proceed with caution.

AC Charger

Just bought an S3 without a charge and now I need to pick one up. Any suggestions for which one to get? OEM or aftermarket? Does the voltage matter or does the phone only allow 0.7A?

The transformer ( brick thing that plugs into the wall) has a Certain limit on the amount of amps that can run through it.
The more amps...more power. ... Faster charging.
I seen them go all the way up to 2 amps for car chargers.
90% sure the nexus 4 has a 1.2 amp limit in the stock wall charger.
I wouldn't recommend anything higher then 2 amps.
You might just be paying for false advertising or just have something dangerous.

I use several different ones
Personally I use the name branded ones but also have several chinese ones as well
Chinese 2.1amp I have several they seem to work
I would make sure to get at least a 1amp/1000ma cause they throttle, peak is actually 1amp so running flat out could be lower
I have several HTC branded chargers they work good (they are 1 amp) I see you sent your message from a Thunderbolt so I assume you have an HTC charger already

I use the charger from my htc incredible. GS3 charger and cable are still in the box. Htc charger works very well with the S3.

Yea I plan on using it for a while, but will probably end up selling the ThunderBolt. Probably just try and pick one up.

Anyone have any luck with the dual usb charging ports? Just got an android phone for work, so I was wanting to use only one charger (two cables obviously) to cut down on the stuff I have to carry around.

If it's a phone charger with Micro usb, it will have standard voltage.
Try to get a 2amp charger so that it has more than enough amps. Sometimes a 1amp charger will only feed .8amps or so. It's best to have more amps than needed especially for charging blocks that have dual usb output and if your charging 2 devices at the same time.
The S3 typically will draw as much as 1.13amps (during peak charge) with a wall charger that can provide that much. Certain Kernels and roms may cause this value to increase.
