No it won't.

No, it only takes longer to load if the mA output of your other charger is lower.

Ok thankyou

The EU commission forced all smartphones to be micro usb compatible so that you don't have to throw away your old chargers anymore. So no you can't hurt it.

Car charger doesn't work

Hi all,
My car charger works with my s2 and work phone but not with my s3. I'm running checkrom. Any ideas? Is this a known fault with some s3's?
Many thanks

Use the charger that came with phone, brother. It is the safest.

To charge the S2 need less current than S3 (comparing technical details), so if your car charger work with S2 but no with S3 mean that charger is not able to provide the enough current for S3.

What goes into the phone? Micro-USB or Micor-HDMI?

Both.

Phone is micro USB, if you want to plug HDMI then you need the "MHL" adapter.

The same thing for me, some times the phone take all night long to charge 5%, and the phone don't charge, I got to switch between different charger, HTC Apple Samsung etc... It's very difficult, but I think it's the battery, it's just a simple supposition.

I don't think its the problem I think its the port its self but then if I connect to odin on laptop it shows up fine but won't charge from laptop

Try blowing some compressed air into the micro usb, could be something in there, if it's not charging at all it will be hardware related.
Another thing will be to check another battery iy could be the battery has failed for some reason, if none of those work flash stock and run triangle away to reset flash counter and it's off to a service center because it could be physical damage to the micro usb.

Charging from wall-outlet will charge your S3 fast in some 3 to 4 hours. If you using your PC or Laptop to charge using USB cable it will take longer time. Also the time may depend on at what level you starting to charge the phone. Like If you plug it for charge at battery level 15(remaining) it suppose to take longer time. Also to charge fast avoid using your phone while plugged in for charging and turn off GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth etc.
You can always try "fast charger" app from "google play" if your device is rooted...
My wall charger is connected to an extension which is connected to wall socket.

Then take it to the service
There's nothing i can do then?

First remove rom and test as custom rom or root voids warranty anyway.
