I have read just about every thread on this forum about the compatability of XDAII chargers for use with XDAIIs and everyone seems to have different opinions. I have been using my in car charger made for II with no problems but I'm worried I'm damaging my IIs.
Can anyone tell me once and for all what is the problem with using this charger and if it is a problem how do I solve it without paying £20 to expansys for a new charger?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem... let me go into some detail...
When I charge the phone with the original Samsung charger or with the oroginal USB cable via PC it charges fine... so not some major problem...
Today I tried charging my phone with a iPhone charger using the original Samsung USB cable...
The phone was charging and the phone was on and working... but the screen wasn't responding at all... tho the power button was as well as the capacitive buttons... but ofcourae since the phone was locked they wouldn't do anything cuz I wasn't able to slide to unlock... it also seemed as if the apple charger got quite hot... but I'm not sure if that's how hot it normally gets...
Now I know normally it says everywhere to use the original chargers bla bla but most chargers aare interchangeable as far as I imagine... have use other HTC or Motorola chargers for other phones... but I do know apple products tend tto act up when connected to other non apple products...
So my question is does anyone know If tthis is normal with trying to use a apple charger with other phones...??
What I was also thinking is the original chargers output is 0.7A while the apple charger is 1A... both being 5volts ttho... maybe that's the problem...??
Any ideas...??

I think there's your problem... You're giving the phone more current that it can handle and can make the phone to do weird things...
I don't know if its just me or there are more that think alike, but I like to think that Apple is Apple and has its connectors/chargers and there's the rest of the world with their universal adapters, so I wouldn't try to mix those two worlds together...
If you need an spare charger/cable, get a standard microUSB cable or charger for any brand and will work without problems. I usually charge my Galaxy S2 with the HTC Desire USB cable without problems.
That's what I'm thinking too... that apple products just don't mix too well with other products... like even their handsfree for the iPhone... if I plug it into my laptop it just restarts... everytime... its weird as hell...
And yea maybe your right... only thing is I like the size of the apple charger being so small and compact hence Ita always laying in my bag... thought I could use it to charge my headset and phone...
Another thing that kinda worries me is the fact that if 1A is too much power... I just ordered a New Trent IMP70D battery pack... it has 2 USB ports for charging... one rated at 1A and the other at 2.1A... hope that's not going to be an issue with being too much power... :S
Tho I have read people are using it with their S2 with no problems...

I had the same problem a while back using a 1A charger after my samsung charger failed on me. So now I'm using my sons blackberry 700ma charger (he lost his phone DOH!) which I think is the same output as the samsung chargers.

If you really want to use the iphone charger with 1A current, then flash siyah kernel and use voltage control app to tune and make your phone receive the whole 1A current.

Hi there,
My S3 has a problem with the motherboard where something between the charging port and battery is broken and the phone cannot charge via cord. I have been forced to take the battery out every night and charge it on a battery charger. After recent googles I have seen wireless chargers are available for the S3 but I'm not quite sure how they work. I know the receiver is connected to he battery, but I need to know if this method charges through whatever is broken in the motherboard or if it charges directly to the battery?
If someone with good knowledge or experience of this could answer that'd be awesome!
The charger is a QI branded one on eBay.
Thanks in advance!

I bought one around 2 weeks ago. Mine is charging my Phone around 3 seconds and After that it isnt charging for about 5 seconds. I wrote to seller and waiting now for a replacement. Whats the Problem with yours?
Consider placing this request for help troubleshooting in the G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum, and don't forget to link the charger you bought.

What kind of LG G3 do you have? (D855, ls990, etc.)
Also make sure your battery cover has the wireless charging antennas!
It's a known problem if you don't place the coil of your phone exactly above the coil of the charger. You need to find a proper place on the charger to put the phone there.
Another issue may be that you're providing not enough power to the charger itself. From my experience the charger must be at least 1,8A. Any less gives the result you described. Of course also use good usb cables which can transmit more than 700 mA Best would be if you try it with the original G3 charger with original cable.

the seller says it is Not compatible with LG G3 as i can see
I tried 2 different no-name chinese wireless chargers and had problems with both. Charging would not last more that 2-3 seconds.
The wireless charger won't work with any general charger. You need to use LG Stock charger that came with your phone or similar output (1.8A) adopter to make it work.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Not specifically. But it is possible.
If you are talking about the charge block only and not the USB-C cable.
The branded blocks are not always universal and provide only the amount of wattage to charge device they shipped with.
This also carries over to the cables sometimes, that's why when trouble shooting you may be asked if you are using cable that came with device.
Occasionally manufacturers have been known to wire their cables/ports differently so only their cables will work. This is not so much an issue anymore with universal standards, but it used to cause many headaches.
But back on topic, if just referring to the Samsung charge block that you plug the USB-C cable into, then yes it is possible it will not charge your device.
