no it won't it will just charge faster. higher amps does not meant the charger pushes out that many, it means it can provide up to that much.
TRUE... I charged my BB 8520 from S3's charger and battery got swollen.
Thanks for the help

Nope. The device restricts the Amperage by itself to 1Amp and the charger delivers 5Volt.

i think there was something wrong with your battery.
I have charged all my devices using the ipad charger 5V 2.1A and never had a problem. i use that because with the higher Amps I can charge faster.
Using a charger with a higher current rating won't really hurt with lithium ion batteries. Some other battery types can be affected by charging too quickly.

This is what Art had sent me...
Output 5.0 volts 0.7 amp
Did they give me the correct charger?

Its not the stock charger, but it'll work. Stock is 5v-1.0a
no, you should have a 5.0v 1.0 amp charger. if you use the .7 amp charger you will notice your battery life depleting faster then normal. you can get a charger that has an output greater then 1 amp (or 1,000mA), it won't hurt the phone as long as you stay at 5.0 to 5.5 volts. the phone will only draw what it need's in ampere's. i used a 1.7amp charger (till i lost it) for awhile with my phone's, the battery would both charge faster and last longer without any harm to the phone.
SHORT ANSWER... THEY SENT YOU THE WRONG CHARGER

Are you using an original charger?
Are you using a wall or USB charge?
I have original 1650 mAh battery and it takes roughly about 2.5 - 3 hrs to charge from 0% to 100% using original Samsung charger
It will more if you bigger battery or you are charging USB or with nonstandard charger

i use original charger and battery(1650mah) only from samsung but still it is taking more time around 4 hours.
is there any problem with my battery or mobile?
i purchased it 6 months befoe.
Bro battery charging time depends whether you are using the phone or not... because if you are using it continuously while charging screen n processor drains alot of juice...so it will take alot of time but if phone is in deep sleep it will charge faster...as simple as that..!!

Mine takes about 3.5 hours with the original charger and battery. So, depending on your usage it can be normal.

Have you heard about undervolting and overvolting? and if you install a kernel like Siyah you can adjust the values needed to make your charging faster.

But the charging is still limited to 650mA, since the hardware only has three modes.. 90mA which is never used, 450mA which is for usb charging and 650mA which is for charging with an adapter.

Hey I've recently wanted to use the fast charge widget by Chad but I can't seem to find a decent kernel that supports it.
Is there a reason the feature is left out? I figured it would kind of be standard to custom kernels.

I used snuzzos all the time but he pulled it after 1.5. And 1.5 doesnt play optimally with one xxx 6.0.2. I miss it because I'm on a car charger more than a wall charger.

What car charger are you using that doesn't pick up as AC already? As long as you aren't using one that advertises iDevice support, it shouldn't need fast charge.

Some off brand charger. Idk. Now that I think about it the charger may be bad. It shows ac charging. It didn't act like it was charging at all the other day. Wouldnt keep up well in an area with no service. But the one in my personal vehicle and my wall charger do well. Lol either way I miss the fast charge.

Ermahgerd Kernel supports fast charge but read the first post instructions very carefully.
There are some ppl who say fast charge isn't all its cracked up to be. It does not make ac charge go any faster. I bought a Rezound compatible usb cord and an official HTC plug separately off amazon for like 30 altogether. Beats having to wait forever using another manufacturers charger.

Make sure your charger exceeds the fast charge rate. A 2 amp charger would certainly be large enough. 1 amp would be too small.

Just buy a real charger which follows the USB charging specs, and be done with it. Problem solved.

Follows the USB charging specs? So you mean 5V 500mA? I prefer a charger with 2amp capabilities, so I know there are no issues when using fastcharge. When the phone detects a car charger or computer USB port, the kernel regulates the current to 500mA or less. Telling the phone to pull more than 500mA from a computer or car charger will probably just damage the charger, depending on the rating.
But a two amp charger with fastcharge should charge at 1.25 amp or so, and it won't damage the charger.

I don't know what's going on anymore. I've used countless different chargers and usb cables and they don't work (literally, they work with other phones, just not mine). I have cleaned the inside of the phone's charging port, nothing. I have got the port repaired at a shop, it did work, but not any more. My phone does not charge at an amperage higher than 100mA on any charger, it starts at 900mA then decreases in a matter of seconds. According to another battery monitor my phone is discharging at 15% an hour. This is crazy for me as I could get my phone to last 24+ hours on a single charge a few days ago (I use greenify). Also, my phone is always hot, according to GSam battery monitor and various other monitors, well over 50 degrees Celsius. I'm running the latest version of Resurrection Remix for the SGS3 (android 4.4.2). If any other information is required I'd me more than happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance :thumbup:

If you mean moving the usb plug around causes the charging to stop then that is the usb socket damaged, if the same with several chargers/leads.
Replace the battery first, they last a year at best.

Yup, I definitely know the socket is damaged, paid £20, got it fixed, worked for a while. I'll pay the guy a visit in the next few days. As for the battery, I'll replace it because 50 degrees Celsius in my hands doesn't feel pleasant. I've been looking around on Amazon, but I can't find any sold by Amazon themselves as instructed.

You can also visit a local mobile store that sells genuine goods and buy a battery.
If the port got damaged too soon, then maybe the guy didn't repair it properly.

Ah ok, I have a few stores in mind, I'll do that then.
When I bring my phone back to him I hope he does repair it properly, issues I've been having have caused so much disruption.
On a side note, I put my phone to charge and it started off at 1000mA, within a few minutes it went down to 800mA, a few seconds later (basically as I've been writing this message it's gone down to 300mA... Is this normal? I only started using a current monitoring app since my problems started, so the currents I was getting before prior to the issues are unknown.
EDIT: Nope. Not normal. Charger connected: 100mA. Phone is discharging at 1% every few minutes & feels like it's about to spontaneously combust.

Battery's definitely gone mate.
If your phone supports NFC, you can use that to check if the battery's genuine or not. Original replacements have embedded NFC.
only drop in mAh was when i buyed 2 m cable from ebay (dont do that) for charging ..and it didn't work ...but now i bought hama 1.8m cable and it works flawlessly....i use galaxy current to see how many mAh phone gets but ...you sould definetly buy a new battery ...it could damage your phone
