So I've had a wall charger for years with my gn. But I'm moving on to an s4. Does anyone know if there would be an issue using the same charger for s4 batteries?

I don't see why there would be any problems.

I don't mean the charger, as in the usb cable. I mean a separate wall unit that you slide a battery into, charging the battery away from the phone.

Oh that think lol ok
That does not sound like a good idea, the volts and amps could be different and it may in fact damage your battery.

Link doesn't pull up the charger but it's probably the same ones on eBay with the pink and blue led light. Not bad for the price but it takes a LONG time to charge!

Link fixed..
Beware. Been many reports that non-OEM charges don't fully charge the battery and they shut off at 85% or so.

About 6-7 hours....not a problem if you only have one spare battery...but you need at least two of them if you have four

The contacts that make the connection to the battery came loose and were just hanging out of the little holes....I opened it up and fixed them back in place using a soldering iron....don't think anyone else would have gone through all the effort for $2.50....but I like tinkering with things....

Have any of you guys experienced the charging port on the bottom of the phone not working properly? Mine is not working reliably with numerous chargers. Was wondering if this may be a widespread issue or if it's just me
Only issue I had was that my phone would lock up using a SG3 charger so stopped using it.

I didn't charge last night and so I plugged mine in at work today with only 8% battery left. I checked it later and was down to 5%, my old Evo 3d charger didn't seem to do anything to it. I powered down, unplugged everything, removed battery and then reconnected and it finally started charging. It charges very slow at 1amp but it's charging now at least.

it really prefers the 2 amp charger... it's a phablet after all... try the stock or tablet chargers (with the stock cable) I bet they work wonders

+1 to this! I was having the same problem until I realized that the charger that comes with the phone is 2amp. As long as I charge with that or my touchpad charger, I am good to go.

I noticed that the port may be a little deeper than some cables allow for. I haven't had a chance to verify this, but you may want to check the cable you're using for a good fit.

The real problem is in the charger itself. I tried using an HTC charger and it was a no go. The stock charger is a 2 AMP version and that is the way to go. It actually charges quite quickly on the appropriate charger.

I've used Blackberry, HTC, Motorola chargers... all worked for me.
I've had my phone for about a week and I am also experiencing issues with the charger port. It happens randomly. I would connect the charger and it wouldn't charge but if I try again moments later, it will charge. I also experienced it go from charging to not charging, repeatedly. (My charger works fine, I tested it with other devices)

If it is not a 2amp charger, it is going to be an intermittent problem!
Using 4 different chargers on mine ranging from .5 amps to 2 amps. No problems charging.

Just today my phone decided not to charge anymore. So I decided to boot it up with it plugged in and it gave the illusion it was charging. However when I unplugged it the charging symbol stayed. Just recently it now flutters between charding and discharging which is destroying my battery. Does anyone have any advice?

I had that happen once and it was the cable. I think one of the wires in the cable had flexed just a little too much. Picked up a new cable and I was back in business. Might be a thought...

He is talking about your USB cable. If changing to a different cable doesn't help then I'm guessing your charging board is going bad (the board that controls the charging of your battery). There have been a lot if topics around about that, so do a little search and see what advice others with the same problem have done.

I want to buy a spare battery and external battery charger for a Galaxy Note 2. I already have external chargers for both an S2 and an S3 - does anyone know if the Note 2 battery can be charged with either of the same chargers? (e.g. is the battery roughly the same size)?
Edit: scratch that, misread the post.

Presumably you mean the USB charger (i.e. the one that plugs into the phone)? My question concerned the external chargers that charge batteries when they are not in the phone

Well even that. They are all supposed to be interchangeable anyway. I'm using korean note 1, s3, s1, xperia arc s, desire etc chargers. The korean note has an external battery charger which all the chargers seem to work fine with.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
S3 has four pins on the battery and and note 2 has three. I'm not sure the last pin could be for nfc since its on the battery in s3 but still I doubt the chargers are interchangeable unless you have one of those really cheap and nasty ones where you can slide the actual charging pins across to meet the pins on any battery.

I have read somewhere that when you charge your phone and you use it that it still should charge.. But when I use my phone while charging it discharges and pretty quickly too.. Is this caused by a bad battery or is my charger broken?

If it takes too long to get a full charge when using the power socket you might want to try to check your battery.

Are you using the original charger and cable? I thought I'd read somewhere that not all USB cables can handle the 2 amp current. I'm not sure how accurate this is.
Original charger? The original charger can provide 1.0A, check what's written on your charger. USB cable could also be the problem. Other tips is to lower the brightness, it will save battery.

I had this problem couple of months back. Changed the charger and that fixed the issue. Try changing the cable or the charger itself.
