Hi everyone,
I want to use a nokia charger on my XDA using the 22pins connector from my old charge/sync cable.
I disconnected the connector from the charge/sync cable
but i don't know which wire on which pin
first of all i would look into if the volts and current are the same for the 2 chargers
since a charger is not just a charger and if you charge a device which need 3.6 volt with a much higher volt level you can damage the device
I checked the voltage and ampere
it is lower than described on the back of my xda
so i think that it just thakes longer to charge.
Hi guys,
Well i have a TyTN for a year by now and when i have purchased my phone, on very first day i`ve lost my charger
So here is my question, i`ve tried 2 different charges, one belongs to motorola phones with mini usb port, and other one is gigabyte g-smart charger (the one i bought before TyTN and not working now). Motorola charger can not charge my TyTN, but G-Smart charger can do it. But when the battery is fully discharged, G-Smart charger also can not start charging my device, only way i can start charging is to connect my tytn to my computer..
I want to ask you guys the output voltage and ampere value of the OEM TyTN charger, which is the most important thing about the chargers. For example Motorola charger gives out 4.8 Volts with 350 mAmpers (0.35 A) and i guess this is not enough to charge my tytn becaouse it is not working on my tytn. Can anybody tell me the values of the oem charger?
Output: 5V @ 1A LPS
I'm pretty sure that answers your question, I don't know much about this.
5V 1A
wow pretty much for a cell phone...
have you felt how much the hermes feels like a 3 bar fire when it's charging p
(if you're buying from ebay, buy the 2AMP versions so you know you have a little bit spare... just my opinion but cheap import charger's probably don't provide quite what they say they do... Also if you run a charger at 100% it's output 100% of the time i would think it's less likley to last as long as one runnign at only 50%)
(don't forget you also need to do the charging pin cable hack if you get a cig lighter to USB adapter or you'll end up with the one charge per reset bug...)
I've charged my Herm200 with various chargers, mains and car-based from 500mA to 1.5A with no difficulties. It seems to be a fairly resilient charging circuit. The lower current chargers don't charge the device very fast (or at all, in some cases) with TomTom running though.
thanx guys you have been very helpful, but i have an gigabyte g-smart i128 and it has a USB chager too. which is 5V 700mAh. And when i plug it into my hermes, a yellow led flashes for few times then nothing... It does not charge it. This i found strange. Well it charges my gigabyte pda well. But i dont think there is something wrong with my hermes too because usb sync cable charges well.
I notice that the standard AC/Charger is 0.7A output. Possible to use another AC/Charger rated at 1.0A output? What is the USB output anyways? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
PS Still considering rooting or not (will it void my warranty?) *WUSS*
I am using my Galaxy Tab 2.5A charger to charge the S2. It still takes about the same amt of time to charge up full.
I believe the charger current rating is the max current it can supply. The S2 will still draw current at it's own max...maybe 0.7A.
Doesn't matter what charger you use on it, if it's greater than 0.7A The S2 will limit itself to 0.7A.
if you want raise charging amperage, you can help me looking for someone, who will change(raise) it in kernel...

Given the same voltage (i.e 5V for USB), it's the resistance of the phone that determines how much current is drawn from the charger. Therefore anything above the rated 0.7A would work fine and dandy.
Thanks to all the fellas that responded! More than enough information provided.

The standard for usb is 500mA/5v and this is what you get out of most computers, usb hubs and so on. AC to usb chargers will also run at that more often than not. AC chargers on the other hand usually run hotter, up to 1A and more. I have a 1A and a 1.5 amp and both charge this phone at exactly the same rate. It was not so with my N1 where the 1.5 was quite a bit faster, certainly appears like there is throttling going on as others stated. I would be curious why they did this when some other ODMs are selling phones with 1A and higher rated chargers.
look in the source code, wall charging is capped at 650 mA and USB is capped at 450 mA. and this makes sense why samsung included a 0.7 Amp charger.
I know different chargers have different amps, but what i dont know is how much the phone (battery) can take at a time, even if the charger is 10 amp it doesnt been the phone get fully charge in 10 min.
Look for how much the charger gives out is not hard cause its label, but how much does the phone take?
cant seem to edit my thread (TYPO) nor find it on my profile, maybe its my browser.
Samsung phones charge at about 800mA. Samsung chargers have the two middle pins (data pins) soldered. Any regular charger, even with 2Amps will only max at about 330mA charging. The phone needs to detect that the two data pins are soldered. So higher Amps is not equal to faster charging unless you are using a Samsung charger or you have the data pins soldered( pretend to be Samsung charger)

No. The phone will regulated the charging on the device as lipoly batteries have a specific charging method. It is possible (for example) that the device may charge at 500mA maximum current draw, but a charger is rated at 1A. This would meen that the charger could output 1A without the voltage falling so in theory the usb output could be split between two devices. If the charger was rated at 300mA but the device needed 500mA then the output voltage may be very unstable and damage either the phone or the charger.
Choosing a higher rated charger will not charge the phone faster. Any attempt to do so with Lipoly chemistry could result in explosion.

Hi,
I've read some threads here about charging the S3, but not all is clear to me. I would appreciate some explanation:
1) I've read that the stock chargers output 1A. However, on the charger I got with my S3 it's written "output: 5V 0.7A". So do you think I somehow got a wrong charger?
2) I want to buy a car charger for the S3. There are many generic car chargers in ebay, some of then output 2A current. What is the maximum current allowed for the S3? I couldn't find this number in my S3 manual or on the phone itself. Will a charger of 2A cause harm to my phone? or to the battery? or to both?
Thanks in advance!
bump... does anyone know?
My charger output states .05v=1.0a.
As for what aftermarket charger to buy, I would stay away from chargers with more output than the official for 'peace of mind that my charger's specifications are the same as the official charger that came with the phone' reasons.
Cheers
Generally wall chargers output 1000mA (1A) and USB ports 500mA (0.5A)
You do not want to purchase anything that goes above 1000mA

I attach a picture of the adapter I got with my S3.
It says 0.7A on it, while it appears that other have one with 1A.
Did they con me with this adapter?
And regarding the maximum current allowed: do you think an adapter of 1.2A might harm the S3?
Do not know where your S3 come from but this charger is not made For S3 but for S2!
I just checked the model number:
S3 charger: ETAOU81EBE
S2 charger: ETAOU10EBE (like yours)
And there is no cable on the S3 charger, it use the USB cable
Thank you for this!
I don't get it. The charger was inside the S3 box and looked original. Damn!
I think the store I bought from import their S3 from Germany, since it came with Vodafone German stock ROM. Is it possible that this is the charger they sell on German vodafon? Or perhaps the store switched it for some reason?
Mine also come from my carrier: french vodafone
Was your S3 box sealed?

Hi,
Background - I am an electronic engineer and have designed power supplies.
The Amp rating on a power supply is it's maximum capability to deliver power. The Voltage is the 'force' that it can push electrons through the device, this is the important one to have correct. So a 5V 300A Power supply will not charge your S3 any quicker than a 5V 1A power supply.
Get yourself a 1A car charger and you'll be fine. Depending on how the data pins on that charger are configured it'll be recognised as either a fast or slow charger but it will be fine in any case.
So, according to what you say, there should be not problem to use a 5V 2A charger on the S3?
The charger cannot accidentally push too much current to the device?
No. The phone limits the Amp the battery can get.
It simply won't go above 0.5 or 1Amp depending on what resistor is coded between the data pins (the 2 middle pins on the normal USB-plug)
(Note that this does not extend to all devices. E.g. cheap chinese toys and their batteries may not have any current limter, connecting them to "too powerful" chargers will result in damages or potential blow-up of the battery. The same applies to batteries without any electronic such as car batteries which can overheat and "cook")
I bought S3 in Germany 1.0A, there is a date on the charger:18.05.2012

Hi burmo,
An interesting concept. I have no clue in these things but what you say is not clear to me "all the way".
Charging my i93100 phone with 5.0V 3.1A will do no harm because it won't "push" more than 1A anyway?
And who is "responsible" for controlling this "push" the charger/battery/phone?
Does it work the same for Car chargers?
Thanks a lot,
Izik
multimeter check on .7amp charger

so i have been wondering about this as well because i am currently building a custom charger for my s3 that charges the battery without having to plug into the charging port. i have redirected wires from the wireless charging port to metal tabs i have place on the back of my phone. it is a "drop in charger".
Anyway i have tested the charger that came with my phone. I also have the samsung stock charger that say the output is .7amp but after testing it with mutimeter, i have found that the output is actually 1.2 amps. As for max charging amps, I am not sure. I have tested several chargers. The new S4 charger puts out 2.34amps and i have not found any problem charging my s3 with it.

As far as I know the phone limits it so as you've found yes you will be fine
My original S3 charger is 5v 1.0amp
My original S3 charger is 5v 1.0amp. It was bought in Thailand with the phone.
I agree with burmo an advanced phone will have a current limiter as part of its circuit, however I prefer not to rely on it and not to exceed the manufacturer volt/amp recommendation.
The phone controls the current. In custom kernels (Boeffla and so on) you can change the target current. The phone has a protection built in, if the voltage is unstable (drops to much) it lowers the current untill the voltage is stable.
A HTC One charger I sometimes use (0,7A rated) only delivers 0,8A. A aftermarket charger I own (1,0A rated) is fine delivering 1,2A (modified target current, not stock). These charging currents can be read by various apps.
Get yourself a 1,0A rated charger and speed up your charging time.

Seconded the post above being an electronic engineer as wel.
Voltage should be exactly the same as you need, but this will always be the case for a USB charger.
Current should just be enough or more.
The charging current is dictated my your phone and not - and I repeat - NOT by your charger!
mine rates at 1A
