USB Charger - Upgrade Mod for SGS Phones.

more/better/other info in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384253
This post will show you how to MOD an un-official Samsung USB wall charger into one that will enable full speed charging on Samsung Galaxy S phones.
8 $ ebay cheap wall battery charger power output specs:
350 mA battery charging speed - doesnt matter...
800 mA USB port.. THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!! more the better. nice if the phone would use all of it... Need AC Mode...
Samsung wall USB charger is only 750mA! AND it will set AC mode.
The theory behind it is with samsung galaxy phones and "official chargers":
if the middle 2 data pins on the usb, while getting 5v to the outer 2 pins it tells the phone that it is an *official samsung* charger and enables full speed charging.
without the middle 2 pins connected (with or without data flow) will not charge at full speed. even if you supply 800mA it will only charge around 350mA
well there have been posts of cable hacks to do this or adapters... ha! tape and tinfoil... or hack the cable apart! And you cant use the cable with the PC anymore!
heres my mod... bend 2 pins.. DONE! solder if you know how for better connection!
***only use this charger for samsung phones, not all USB devices will like this, -may dammage some- as the samsung phone is PROGRAMMED to know what to do if the 2 data pins are shorted out***
Phone confirms AC charging NOT USB NOW!! But Camera Died!
Now i can leave my Samsung Charger upstairs, and this one downstairs.
You know how long it takes to charge an extended battery on USB mode? or at 350 mah in the battery charger?

Check out xda portal!!! Guess whos post made front page????

update on this mod..
was able to charge my extended battery from 8% to 100% in about 2 hours 45 min over USB with the screen off never timed before the mod but it was slower. In the official samsung charger it was a little over 3 hours. just in the battery cradle it takes around 5-6 hours. Very much improved!

Good tip ! sometimes I am almost 24 hrs.. this will help !

my old iPhone USB cable is capable of supplying up to 1A. it may be worth it to modify a cable, glue it in so it's no longer repurposable, and use the old iPhone wall adapter.

When I plug my old Blackberry charger into the phone, it shows "Charging (AC)" under the Status menu, is this saying that the Blackberry charger is putting the Cappy into full charge mode? Unfortunatly the charger does only say only 700mA output anyway.

yes its charging at full speed if it says AC. congrats.
good to know about BB chargers.

1A > 700ma. iphone wall charger has a usb port on it only.

More accurately, it means the phone will try to charge at full speed. I have an external battery that has the pins shorted, phone says AC, but it can only output 500ma, so it doesn't charge any faster.

MORE accurately (as said before) it WILL charge at full speed, OF THE CHARGER.. not the phone. UPTO the full speed of the phone.
thats why i said my charger upped it to 800 not 1100ish in the first post. and why i told the other guy his is working at 700. it depends on the chargers output, that has been explained thank you.
and your charger that is putting out 500ma IS FASTER. without the mod your phone is only charging at "usb speed" or around 375ma ish... just barely faster...

+1 on the BB charger, my Cappy didn't come with a charger and I always had it plugged to that BB charger, I'm used to measure the battery charging time of my old Dell Streak on a "desktop charger" and took about 4 hours, this cappy charges in 2 hours and something, maybe 3 haven't measured accurately but I know it is waay quicker than 4 hours.

I literally just picked one of these up last night! Will be doing this mod asap thanks for the info!

Interested about this as well. TRus does it?

yes the blue light is normal. the pins you connect inside dont connect to anything in the charger, they are just connected to themselves.
the blue light was on before the mod...

The light is the indicator for if you charge the battery in the battery bay.
Am I right?

the light indicates power:
Blue for plugged in empty, or fully charged (battery or USB)
Pink if anything is drawing power (charging through battery or USB)
Purple if you have a battery and USB drawing power (over-drawing power!! disconnect one)

Hey Trusselo,
Nice mod. I bought of these with two after market batteries for $10. What do you think about wiring the battery contacts to a switch to the usb port to use the backup battery/charger as a portable charger? That way, you can go from charging the battery to using the battery aa portable charger?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

i barely understand what you are trying to say, however, the battery contacts on the charger are only 350mah , the usb port on the CHARGER is 800, so wiring the battery contacts on the charger (with or without a switch) would be a bad choice.
you may want to re-read the OP...

No offence intended
TRusselo,
No offence intended by the previous post. I didn't mean to thread jack either. I was just wondering whether it would be possible to use the same hardware intended to charge a spare battery and use it as a portable phone charger using the battery as the power source. Thanks for the info; I was hoping to convert this charger into a portable phone charger as well as keep the current functionality (using the switch). Thanks for the info though.

I got this to replace a cheapo one i had when i had my Droid X. With the old charger, I couldnt keep the screen on and use GPS and listen to music at the same time without the battery losing power. Basically the old charger acted like a battery extender lol.
This new charger charged my phone at least 3-4x faster...even while doing all the things listed above...WELL worth it

I have that exact same car charger. Just make sure that you get it from a reputable dealer... I got mine from one of the parties for a few bucks cheaper and they sent me counterfeits. I had to contact Amazon where Amazon gave me my money back and also sent out two OEM from an Amazon warehouse with free expedited shipping!

Quite a few of the cheaper car chargers simply do not have a point soldered on their boards, causing the phone to think it's charging from a 500mA USB port (like you'd find on a computer) and not go above that even if the charger does 1A/port.
I know even the belkin one has a forum topic somewhere regarding modifying it so that it'll always get detected as an AC power. I believe custom ROM's and kernels has a Fast Charge feature that can fix this too (ie force the device to detect the power as AC), I think.

I use the Motorola charger as well, and it works just fine... I had two lying around, one came with my Milestone and the other came with my Milestone Car Dock that I've bought separately...

Interesting, this is the model I had and I ALWAYS felt like my battery was draining while using the GPS+Music combo. Not a lot, a few percent over a couple hours, but it's not charging it or atleast keeping its current charge. I want the official Sammy card dock. SOMEONE JUST TAKE MY MONEY.

I believe you will be disappointed...
First, this Motorola charger is good up to 2A, while the original Galaxy Nexus Wall Charger is good up to 1A, and Galaxy Nexus recognizes it as AC Charging, meaning that phone is draining as much current to charge as it can...
Second, I do not believe that those pogo pins are good to move 1A, and I could bet the farm (if I had one ) that it won't go over 1A for sure, so, I do not believe that the official car dock will allow more current than what this Motorola charger is already providing...
But, anyway, I doubt that charger is the one to blame, and I will tell you why... Battery is rated 6.8W/h and it usually allows up to 4 hours of screen on time... So, quick math, phone in use, screen on, is draining 1,7W/h and USB charging (500mA x 5V) gives you 2,5W/h, AC charging gives you 5W/h....
Lets say that you get up to 3 hours screen time with GPS on... It still is 2,27W/h... Below 2,5W/h USB charging limit...
So what is going on? Probably battery is too hot charging and being discharged at the same time (and probably the phone is not able to use the battery like a no-break and get its power from USB, so, phone is getting juice from battery and battery from charger) and phone will stop charging to avoid battery damage/explosion due to high temperatures, and also, battery efficiency is lower when battery is hot (it will drain faster)...
My guess is that if phone is still draining with a charger, in this case, check if it is too hot, and if it is, try to move it so it is cooled by car A/C / vent... At least, with milestone, it helps a lot, since I still own my Milestone and its gps is leaps and bounds better than Galaxy Nexus GPS, I've never really used Galaxy Nexus to navigate (yes, my Milestone turned into a dedicated Google Maps GPS )

its very easy to mod any usb charger to turn it into a AC charger. what you need to do is connect the two data pins.

just connect pins 2 and 3 by solder, i've done this on a few car chargers and it works great always shows AC. i didnt modify the usb wire itself but opened up the charger and connect the solder points connected to the data lines, not sure if you can just mod the usb wire. i have 600mah car charger that i did this to, before it wasnt enough to charge the phone with google maps running now it can charge it very slowly.

Just a update,
i purchased the motorola charger and been working great for nearly a month till this couples of days.
the only way that charge is by holding and pushing up the micro port wile inserted in the phone.
i noticed that the charger micro plug does have clips on only one side ,the other side is flat.
does that mean is not a original charger???
thanx

I'm currently using this cables

with this charger:

No issues. the USB cable is very thine, so hides well on the dashboard.

generally can be had for about 3 bucks shipped. works fantastic - the phone reports as being plugged in and charges accordingly.

Portable Chargers Comparison

For some of you coming from phones with removable batteries, you may have some anxiety about running out of battery life and not being able to swap a spare in. I was the same way a year ago, but I didn’t let that fear keep me from buying a newer phone without a removable battery. So I decided to just grab a few portable chargers to use and I’m glad I did.
Below is a comparison of the portable chargers I have. To try and compare them as fair as possible, the process was simple. Reboot the phone, fire up the stopwatch, set to 15 minutes, shut off the screen, plug in the charger, and leave it alone. The readings were taken from Battery Monitor Widget which was set to update the history every 60 seconds. I used a charging cable from my HTC EVO 4G LTE. I didn’t have my N5 charging cable with me and we know sometimes the cable can play a big role. So take that in to consideration if you think my numbers are off.
The portable chargers from left to right.
1.New Trent iCarrier 12000mAh Portable Dual USB Port - $39.95 (Amazon)
*The one I have is an older model which doesn’t included the “Recharge by USB” option. Mine can only be recharged via AC Wall Adapter. The new model has both options but doesn’t included the wall chargers.
2. Anker® Astro 5600mAh Portable Power Bank - $29.99 (Amazon)
3. Anker Astro Mini 3000mAh Ultra-Compact Portable Charger Lipstick-Sized - $19.99 (Amazon)

Review for Each:
New Trent:
I originally bought this to be used with my Nexus 7 (2012) since it was REALLY picky about what could charge it. You can tell this is a lot bulkier than the other two and isn’t something you’ll throw in your pocket. I keep this in my backpack and only use it when I don’t plan on moving around. Or if there are two people/devices that need to be charged. The plastic housing feels a little cheap, but I understand the idea was to keep the weight down on an already ‘heavier’ portable charger. It has held up well.
I’ve used this thing 3-4 times on my phones without it dying which is nice. This one re-charges using a AC Wall Charger (No longer included) or via USB (5v 2A…no charger included). NOTE: I have the older model which does not have the “Charge via USB” option. Only the AC wall charger option which it did come with. I can’t imagine how long it would take to charge via USB. It already takes a long time using the AC Wall Adapter.
Anker Astro:
This has been my Go-To portable charger for over a year. And it still charges my phone at least twice. When it comes to size vs. capability it is the clear winner. It also includes a LED Flashlight built in. There is a 4 light meter that tells you the status of the battery when charging a device or when being charged itself. Or you can just hit the button to see how full it is.
It can easily fit in your pocket or purse. I have a few very short micro-usb cables laying around so I’ll bring that with me too so I don’t have a 3ft cable in my pocket.
Anker Astro Mini:
I just bought this on sale and was surprised at it’s weight when it arrived. It has a metal casing so that probably adds to the weight. The fit/finish is very nice looking. When holding this in one hand and the Anker Astro in the other, you don’t feel much of a difference. Yes the Mini is round/smaller, but it isn’t a huge difference for me. The mini fits in your pocket nice.
If you are looking for something very portable, a little cheaper than the other options, and a charger that will charge you up once (maybe 1.5 times), then this is a good option. But if you may think you’ll need the portable charger for more than 1 charge while out, go with the Anker Astro (5600 mAh).

I have the Anker astro, but it takes AGES to charge my n5, almost as if it was being detected as a pc usb port rather than a charger.. any ideas? Stock rooted...

What cable are you using with it?
Get the battery monitor widget app and see what it says when plugged in.

Nice quick review.
Strange that New Trent 2A output is less powerful then regular usb..
And the average charging mA for Astro mini seems bit lower than it should be. Both Astros have the same output rating, arent they?

Battery Cases? Slim battery pack with quick charge?

So coming from a Samsung Note 2, 3,and 4, I'm missing the peace of mind that carrying around a freshly charged spare battery gives. I always felt lame tethering a phone to a battery pack while waiting for it to charge. Well, I love this Axon 7, so there's gotta be some auxiliary portable power to make up for that.
I ordered This portable battery from Amazon that is supposed to be the slimmest portable battery that still has Quick Charge. I'll have to see how it works/fits and report back. If anyone has seen anything else similar, please recommend.
I did find a 6" USB-C cable to use with it so there's not a lot of extra cable to keep coiled when charging.
Also curious if anyone has seen a battery case for this thing?
I don't plan to use them all the time, but sometimes I'll be away from a charger and I need to communicate with work.

I'm using the Xiaomi power bank pro (10Ah) that has USB Type-C and also Quick Charge and my phone is charging insanely fast (30 min to 80%). I got the powerbank for 25$ on aliexpress.
ps: that 5Ah power bank in the link you posted is a joke, you will be able to charge your phone just one time if the powerbank is full. ( real capacity around 3.5Ah).

Thanks for the feedback - I'm actually looking for the slimmest/smallest power bank that I can get to charge in-pocket, as I already have a large 14,000 one that has QC that's about the same size as the Xiaomi one you mentioned. I only care about a single full recharge cycle - but one that does it as fast as possible for this need.

If you are happy with one charge then go for it.

I love these tiny phone-sized chargers as well - one charge is plenty for me as well (usually only need it when I'm walking around all day as a tourist or something). I just wish they would start to make some of these with USB-C cables built into them. I used to have one with built-in USB-micro and lightning adapter and loved it - when it was connected to the phone it was just like having a charger case in your pocket anyway...

Yes, I used to have one with the built in cable, too and that's actually the first thing I looked for, but being that there's not a lot of USB-C devices yet, I wasn't surprised that none existed with the built-in cable. Would be awesome if someone made one, though- I would immediately buy that if it was a single-charge slim w/ Quick Charge.

Just wanted to post my findings and pictures of the iKits unit.
Note that the shortie USB-C cable I ordered separately and does not come with the iKits unit! The iKits has a standard micro-usb that it comes with.Also be aware that the battery is labeled QuickCharge 3.0 - but that's only for charging the battery itself - I believe the capability to charge the phone is only at QC 2.0 (you'll see this sort of explained in the product description on Amazon link below).

I ran my battery down all day to about 34%. Plugged it with this cable and battery unit and was to 100% in a little over an hour, so I am happy with charging speed. Also in the battery stats "power management" area of the Axon, it definitely stated "Quick Charging" during this period.
I'm still interested in a battery case if anyone runs across one.
Here are the links to the cable and charger on Amazon:
$6.88 6" USB-C Quick Charge supported cable
$29.99 iKits 5000Mah Quick Charge 2 portable battery

So does anyone know of a case that fits the Axon 7 that has a built-in battery, similar to the Morphy JuicePack?

Good Wireless Charger?

Has anyone found a good, reliable wireless charger for their G7 yet? (My cheap $15 charging stand isn't cutting it and I'm about to whip it against the wall).

I've been using this one by Anker, charging it overnight. Takes about 2 hours to fully charge from about 30% to 100%
No issues with it yet but only have had it about 2 weeks now.

Thanks! I have about 4 older Samsung charging pucks. What's strange is that two work fine, but the other two don't charge my G7 at all. (I'm sure it has something to do with the USB cable and/or plug that I'm using).

Bear in mind that you have to use the supplied cable, along with your o.e. charger for the Anker stand. The port on the back of the stand is a micro usb, not a usb-c.

I've been using one like this one for years no issues and good brand..
I have the older model but I see this one with same specs

G7 will say fast charging on a 10W wireless charger but LG says the phone supports 15W for true fast charging. Belkin and a handful of others make true 15W fast wireless chargers.
Watch out for off brands as many will say 15w but are actually 10w.
Im using a mophie here and it says fast wireless charging at 10w.

Good call on this charger. I picked it up on your recommendation after seeing the price before I even owned this phone and I can confirm it works great. Anker makes solid products so the price makes it even better. Thanks!

Another vote for the Anker Charger
I've been using the Anker model A2523 wireless charger with no problems. It doesn't charge super fast, but I use it for overnight charging, so that's not a problem. While charging, the battery never goes above 30 degrees centigrade, which is 2 to 4 degrees cooler that when I was using the original LG plug in charger that came with the phone! The Anker uses a Micro USB port for power, so I also got a USB-C to Micro USB adapter, so that if I need to recharge quickly, I can just unplug the LG charging cable from the adapter which is plugged into the back of the Anker charger and plug it into the phone. I think that's the best solution until more USB-C wireless chargers are produced.

Good call on this charger. I picked it up on your recommendation after seeing the price before I even owned this phone and I can confirm it works great. Anker makes solid products so the price makes it even better. Thanks!

No, it just states it's charging wirelessly. It's not too fast but perfect for overnight without roasting the phone or battery.

just got the UMIDIGI Q1 , and it says fast wireless charging.
Have some others scattered around the house that is 5w, like choetech t513

I have quite a few Anker products, so when I was looking for a bedside wireless charger, I was almost sure I would end up with them. However, after researching on Amazon for about an hour, I ended up buying the Yootech Wireless Charger (the goofy company name made me think that it might be a cheap rebrand, but it's been a rock solid device). I can say for the LG G7 that this is an amazing charger (although it supports a wide range if you or someone else might want to use it with a different device; especially an older one) that comes with an impressive AC adapter (it doesn't get warm while in use, something that sometimes happens with more compact adapters). It does use MicroUSB instead of USB-C and maxes out at 10W instead of 15W, however it tops up my phone from 20 - 30% to 100% in less than two hours so it's a keeper for me and allows me to save my included charger specifically for travel.

I got the BlitzWolf BW-FWC4 from Amazon for €15. Fast wireless charging thanks to QI-EPP compatibility. Works flawlessly through my Voia case. Charges almost as fast as wired. I'm using the original wall charger to power it.

got the nillkin 15w qi powerflash. Fast charging works and cooler than UMIDIGI Q1 thanks to buil in fan.

Hey, what are the charging speeds on the Nillkin? Does it charge as fast as the UMIDIGI ? Their description does not mention fast charging for LG so was wondering.
