Hello folks, i've got a simple question:
I had a x10 mini pro which it was stolen to me and i was only left with its battery charger (ec700) could it be safely used instead/in alternative to the mini pro boxed one (ec450)? there shouldn't be any real difference cause of the usb, am i right?

Yes, youre right.Im using x10 mini charger aswell as xperia mini pro

Make sure the output is with the same rating as the stock charger (DC 5V 850mAh). I am not sure what's the rating of standard PC/notebook USB ports, but should be lower.
I am tempted to try my galaxy tab charger (DC 5V 2Ah=2000mAh) but I'm afraid it could fry the charging facility who knows cos its more than twice the one of stock, but should charge in half the time.

Try it? I think it won't harm your phone (there's a USB charging spec), and even if it does, nobody can prove that you used a 2000mAh charger so you shouldn't have trouble getting the phone replaced...
No worries im using a 10 year old laptop with usb 1.0 as charger right now

can i use iphone/itouch charger (change usb cable) for mini pro?
i busted my charger, i wonder if its ok to use apple charger
just exchange the use cable to charge my mini pro?
as long as iphone cable match with ur phone,why not..of coz u can..
If the charger have a USB port, then you're good to go, but just make shure the output voltage is around 3.7~5V DC (Altough I think that every phone in the world uses that voltage )
yeah, but se charger has 850mA and iphone charger has 1Amp.. is that ok?

If the cable fits, its alright
It will affect the life of the battery or there is no difference between chargers?
Thank you!
Yes
But,
SGS2 charger rated @ 5V/0.7A
SGS3 charger rated @ 5V/1A
Meaning: Using the SGS2 charger with the SGS3 phone will charge at only 70% the rate > ie take longer..........
Edit: No, it will not affect the life of your battery, could even possibly extend it as the battery is affected by less heat generated.
Then I guess the same applies to using the charger of the SGS for the S III. That charger is also 0.7A.
(I'll be using it since it has a longer cord. The charger of the S III doesn't reach from the outlet to my night stand...
Just buy a longer USB cable that's all i did.
if anyone is ever stuck without their original charger i can confirm i have used my wifes old blackberry charger. my sons galaxy ace charger. and an iphone charger with micro usb cable plugged into it. all worked fine on both my s2 and now my s3. as long as it is micro usb and not crazy high amperage it should be fine.
So as long as amperage isn't too much over 1A, all is ok?

Apparently the SGS3 limits the charge rate to 1A max on AC charge.
SiyahKernel plus the extweaks app have an option to increase this limit.
Personally, I have never tried it, and don't particularly wish to.
So to answer your question, theoretically, the phone will limit the charge rate to 1A whether you're using a higher capacity charger or not. Most likely to protect the battery and charging circuit from damage.

I'm using the S1's one at the moment...same thing really, as the above poster said, might charge slower though.

This is wrong mate.
You CAN use the charger from the S2 even though it is rated 0.7A. It actually is capable of putting out more than that. You can use current widget to check this.
I have checked and on the S2 charger, the S3 draws 0.999A same as on S3 charger..
However, using it for prolonged periods will probably result in a damaged charger. I would use it only in emergency.

I never said you couldn't, just said it would take longer
My official SGS2 charger IS rated at 0.7 A (yours may be different), confirmed but not tested with a ammeter, which would be much much more accurate than any widget.
Can't borrow one from work unfortunately...

Apologies... Just read ur post again.
It won't take longer either as the S3 draws what it needs. The S2 charger will give out 1A although not sure how long it will last longterm.
I've used "current widget" and on quite a few phones now and it's pretty good. It might not be 100% accurate but it's not that far out. On my S2 the different charge modes in Siyah kernel could easily be seen in current widget. Same with my S3... Current widget reads same whether I use my new or old charger..

Is that safe? From what I get from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Power , no more than 0,5A is expected to travel through a USB cable.
Is the cable we get from Samsung perhaps made for the 1A? It is quite a bit thicker than most other USB cables I have...

Yes , the device will only take what it needs.....no matter what the output amps are.
Devices are built to limits their input current.
Sometimes I use data cable from old Samsung to transfer data or charge.Still no problem.:good:
I've only ever used my S1 charger or my old S2 and now S3. Every so often I use a Nokia cable paired with my galaxy tab 10.1 charger and haven't had any problems.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Most devices won't draw more than they need. I've used anything from a 0.3A charger through to a 2A charger... in my experience the S3 doesn't charge any faster on the 2A, but it definitely charged slower on the 0.3A (perhaps because it was limited to a max output, I may have to see what this "current widget" says.
Here's the catch though, it will charge faster on a higher amperage during heavy use, than it would on a lower amperage.

Recently I traded my galaxy nexus for a galaxy tab 10.1. But whenever I plug it into a computer or an outlet there's a red x on the battery... it charges reallllly slow. I left it to charge for nine hours from an outlet while turned off, and it went from 5% to 55%. WOW. That's really slow. So I thought that the problem is the cable so I bought a new cable that came with a car adapter. And it worked like a charm in the car. However when I traded I kept the 3 pronged galaxy nexus charger. So anyways I arrived home happy, but I wanted to test it in the computer... Red x again. I tried the wall outlet, again with the x. I tried the wall outlet with 110v and 220v still red x. Then I looked at both outputs on the wall charger and car charger both had the same output which is 5volts and 1A. Then I looked at the input and the car charger was 12-24VDC and the wall outlet was 100-240v and 50Hz and 0.15A. I need help please.
I have 3.2 honeycomb and P7500.
I think that this is an internal issue software wise.
If you need anymore information don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance

On stock settings u wont be able to charge the device connected to ur computer and u will get the Red X on the battery icon! Therez a small tweak to activate that feature to activate charge on pc connect but u will loose the mtp connection. As far as this issue... Seems to be a battery proble. Still try to flash and get to stock to confirm.

What do you mean by loosing mtp? Also I'm a bit noobish at this because I just switched from ios. So can you dumb Down what you said a little. And what do you mean by "still try to flash and to get stock to confirm."
Also my problem is wall charging.

I get that if I try use galaxy nexus charger, however if I charge my galaxy nexus with the tab 10.1 charger I have no problems, make sure your using the correct charger, and for the slow charging I have a USB extension cable if I use that it can take up to 12 hours for a full charge
By charger do you mean cable or outlet?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app
simplest answer is that the red X means that you're not supplying enough voltage to your tablet. You need 2A (A = Amps), computer USB ports generally do 500mA (1/4 of what you need). Phones usually need less. So the reason your tablet won't charge off the phone charger is because it doesn't supply enough voltage; the phone does fine on the tablet charger because it's just oversupplied (don't worry, your phone won't be damaged by this!)
So what you need is:
1) an original charger for this particular tablet (the cable probably isn't the issue, but I've seen cables that can't transmit the full voltage. The nook color is a good example of this)
2) a 2A charger - can't promise any particular ones work though...
3) (and this is the one you should do): You're on XDA. This is a place for folks who root and install custom ROMs on their devices. Most of the ROMs have USB charging built-in (in the Kernel; don't worry about what that means). Install a custom ROM (I'd suggest AOKP). Problem solved, plus you've increased both performance and functionality of your device exponentially. If you're not willing to do this, XDA probably isn't the place for you anyways.

The outlet , the one for my tab is twice as big as my Gnex one, I guessing they both give out different power, get the official charger!! like I said I can replicate that any time I want by using the tab cable with my Gnex outlet,
Thank you soooo much

I found a solution to a problem that was really vexxxxing me. One of my chargers was working and the other (longer lead) all of a sudden started showing the red cross. Ahhh. The solution (http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html) was to blow very hard on the 30 pins of the charger and hey presto - started charging again without the red cross.
There are solutions to this problem with quite a few custom ROMs. Task's ICS for example has this patched. I am quite certain there are others.
I felt that the stock Sony wall charger was not performing as rate 1500mah.
Z ultra has a 3050mah which means that the 1500mah charger will need like max 2.5hours to full charge the battery.
But mine need more tha
n that.
So i use an amperage meter to measure it and found that is just 900mah/1500mah.
I tried my S4 charger and is rated at 1300mah.
In this measurement i used the same Sony cable which is connected to my Z Ultra.
Did anyone here have this issue too??
I'm using the magnetic dock, and i'm getting everything between 800-1300mAh. It takes around 2 hours to fully charge it.

I am using an app called battery monitor widget and I am experiencing the same thing. Normally seems to charge between 800-900 at best I have seen 1100 but never close to 1500 or so.
I am planning on getting the "quick" charger to see if something is wrong with mine.
This is using the stock cable, if I use a different usb cable (thicker even, will not even get to 500).

Or maybe my charger is faulty???

I think its normal because it is within the usual efficiency number I got about 800-1100mah with mine on battery network widget. With samsung 2.1 amp charger i got max 1500ma.

My wife has a 3 month old Galaxy Mega 6.3 and it will not charge correctly. It will not change when it's on enough to keep it on. Last night I had her charge it while it was off and after 12 hours it was only at 48%. We have tried new chargers, new cords, taking the battery out for a while, nothing is working. Any ideas? It's completely stock, no root.
Hi .. make sure that your chargers output power is 2.0A don't use chargers with 1.0A or 0.7A output or it will charge slowly .. and try to use a short cable ..shorter is faster .. If this didn't help maybe the problem is with the battery it self buy a new one

Yeah, we used an oem charger and cable and a charger that puts out 5v and all the same charge rate
I think 5v is too much & dangerous for the phone maybe it'll ruin your battery

Hi..the original charger for the mega 6.3 is 5v with a 2.0A charging rate, can you test another battery from a friend to see if it is the battery.
I literally have never seen anyone with a mega besides her lol. My next plan was a new battery, but I didn't think a 3 month old phone should need one yet.

Maybe go to your carrier were you got the phone and explain what has happened and maybe they can give you a new battery or if it is a hardware problem..they can maybe give you a new phone.

Hello SumCanadianGuy
To be sure to get fast charge with most Samsung smartphones, you need an original Samsung charger AND a fully connected (4 wire) USB cable.
Charger outputs 5.3 to 5.7V and pin 2 and pin 3 (data pins) are shortened together inside the charger to indicate the phone that he can draw fast charge current.
All my original Samsung wall chargers are rated only 1A. It doesn't mean that they can't output more current for a short time. I get fast charge every time.
If either your charger isn't an original with pins 2 & 3 shortened, or your cable has no data connections, you won't ever get fast charge. By example, if you try to use a powerful 2A or more iPad charger with your Mega, you won't get fast charge, just because the other world doesn't conform to USB
If you can, try an original Samsung wall charger with an original Samsung usb to micro usb cable.
Hope this helps
I have same problem with my Samsubg Galaxy Mega 6.3
I tried everything (change battery, cable, charger) but nothing help.
Charging is slow but during all night it could charge to almoat 100%
It only could be hardware failure...
If you want to see power of charging install app Galaxy Charging Current Lite.
Power of charging should be 1900 mA and I could get only 300 mA...
