I've tried searching for this answer so I apologize in advance if I missed it. Coming from the iOS world, I got a Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 this weekend (and love it to death already). I have a number of iPod/iPad USB Wall Chargers around so was wondering if anyone uses or if these can be used to charge the Galaxy 5.0?

The port on the USB cable won't fit in the galaxy player if its the little plug that you can detach and attach then you can use them

If you're talking about an adapter that plugs into the wall and gives you a USB port (which you can plug another cable into), you can give it a try. It might not work or work well because of current limitations, etc., but you can try. However, the cable that you plug into your iPod/iPad cannot be plugged into your galaxy player, if that's what you're asking - Apple has it's own dock connector, which is incompatible with Micro-/Mini-USB (I forgot which it is, but it applies to both).
the "wall wart" as they call it has a USB output, any and all USB outputs will work as they ALL charge at 5 volts (usb standard), that said you will have to use the USB cable that came with the SGP 5.0 as Apple has there own proprietary connector. The question is how well they will work, as chargers can range from .5 amps to 1.2 amps (general USB chargers not apple specifically), I believe you need atleast a .7 amp to charge, higher amps means faster charging, lower means slower to possible not enough output to even charge, so you need to check the specs of each charger and see what there outputs are.
Charging adapters for iDevices will get detected as a USB port by Samsungs. It will charge, but it won't charge nearly as fast as the stock charger.
I don't think people got what you meant. Yeah. All wall chargers work with any USB.

the usb slot on the plug is just like any other usb so it can power anything if you have the right cable.

Yes you can use the "wall" charger --iPhone/iPod use a 5 watt charger. The iPad uses a 10 watt which is what I use to charge my player using the USB cord that came with the player.
I also use the "plug" that came with the player--it just takes an eternity to fully charge.
The reason why it takes forever to charge is because of the kernal that Samsung installed on it. If you haven't changed it, what I would do is disable the GPS and bluetooth and change the wi-fi sleep mode to when screen is off under the advanced selecton by hitting the menu key in your wifi and networks settings.

Apple A1299 on Galaxy Player 4.2 ?
Hello, my first post here and I hope I can reopen this thread safely.
I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 from Amazon UK which comes with its own mains charger and USB cable.
I also have a spare Apple A1299 charger that my former flatmate used for his Ipod. When I connect the USB adaptor to this charger and the Galaxy is switched off, there's no indication that the battery is charging. At first I though it didn't work at all. If I switch the device on, it appears to be charging.
I've also tried this charger on a Philips MP3 player and here too, it doesn't show it's charging but it does indeed charge.
Can I have a clarification if this particular charger won't damage my Galaxy Player?
Thanks
Ottavio
The charger that works is the one for iPad which doesn't use the same as iPhone.

Not true. Back in the day I used one to charge my iPod and it actually pulled power from my iPod since its not giving out enough power. So I had a power dead iPod the next day. Shouldn't happen but its good to note how much power it can give out. I don't think this is as a big a problem now but better be cautious.

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...

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.

I have a one amp usb charger that cant seem to charge the Note while streaming audio over LTE, HSPA, or locally with beyond pod. With the screen off, i lose a percent every five to ten minutes while streaming audio through winamp, flash via the stocm browser, or beyondpod, and the note doesnt lose power while playing local media through beyondpod or winamp...but it doesnt charge either.
And when im charging via he wall adapter and im using the devjce it charges extremely slowly...this is a slow chargibg device, but really, cant i even charge it in the car while playing local audio? Can a usb device pull over a amp from a car charger? It was hard enough even finding a one amp adapter at brick and mortar stores. Are there more powerful adapters? Can the GNote pull more than an amp? Whats does the wall adapter pull?

Nav, Pandora and a 5.3" HD screen running, probably just exceed the phone's recharge rate. I have found the very best recharging combo, while the phone is under load, to be the Moto charger and....wait for it....a cheap Hyperion 2600mah replacement battery on Amazon! I have no clue why.
The oem Samsung battery barely creeps upward while running nav and mp3's at the same time at about 5-10% an hour. Still beats my previous discharging.
But inadvertently, I found my backup Hyperion batt charges at a pretty quick pace with the exact same load. I haven't measured it yet, but it is at least twice as fast. Let the geniuses figure this one out, because it makes no sense to me.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.
Using the moto charger, I started with a full battery, watched 70 minutes of streaming video in the Plex app this morning -- with a mix of 4G/LTE -- and unplugged with a full 100% charge at the end of that 70 minutes. Good stuff!
Just drove home today streaming Pandora in the car for thirty minutes with brightness on auto and Bluetooth audio to the car radio on my OEM Samsung genuine car dock. I was at 95% and when I got home I was 100.

Well, I opened it up this morning, and it looks as though the data-pins are already shorted, so I'll see how it works today as I'll be out and about.

Has anyone else used the PowerGen car charger with the Note? I have a handful of other ones that all claim to fast-charge devices, but apparently it only works with iPhones and iPads. But since the PowerGen unit is on the list, can I assume people have used it and confirmed it will give me a 1A charge rate on the Note? I need a charger that can keep up with the Note occasionally drawing 1.4 A or more (display 100% brightness, GPS, LTE, Bluetooth all active, running Navigation).
A quick search for "powergen" in this forum only brings up the above thread.
Works like a champ. My battery was charging at 1600mAh while streaming soundcloud and using navigation. Definitely does the job.
I am using my car charger for galaxy tab 10.1 (2.0 amp) and it is working much better than any of the 1 amp chargers I have tried, OEM, boxwave, etc...
I also use the GT 101. 110V charging brick, so when I travel, only one brick and two cables. My experience is that the 2 amp charger works really well and will charge the phone while using GPS full time, where the OEM charger and other 1 amp chargers either maintain charge, or slightly discharge.
Thanks for the confirmation! Of course, now I discover Amazon won't ship that to Canada, and amazon.ca does not carry it. :crying: I'd go see what TELUS has to offer, but I'm sure it will be A) expensive and B) not have dual USB ports, or perhaps not even a detachable cord.
If you do find one, also buy a charge-only usb cord.

Is that still needed if the charger itself correctly supports fast charging? The cord I use now is the one from my Touchpad. I get 1 A to the Note from the AC plug, and the Touchpad gets around 1.8 A. I do also have a charge-only cable (much thinner cord, only two wires), but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

The cord from the touchpad is probably wired correctly internally for fast charge. I bought a similar dual car charger and did not see a difference with the micro usb sync cable. I only saw a difference with a charge-only micro usb cable. The phone sees what pins are connected and determines if it is going to charge in usb charge mode(<=500ma) or AC charge mode(>=500ma).

So you use the Touchpad USB micro cable to charge your Note in the car? I thought the cable is too short? I am looking for a LONG USB micro cable that is shorted so it will give >500mA.

I don't think it is, because it also works as a normal USB data cable. If pins 2 and 3 are shorted (D+ and D-), then the cable become "charge only" and cannot be used for data.

Then it sounds like that car charger was an "iPad-compatible" one, i.e.: it does not have D+/D- shorted out to indicate to non-Apple devices that it is capable of more than 500 mA.

You short the pins inside the AC adapter or car charger, rather than the cable. If I understand correctly, the danger of using a charge-only cable is if you plug it into an actual USB port that isn't designed to supply more than 500 mA. Your device could then try to pull down, say, 2000 mA and potentially damage the power supply on your laptop or desktop.

I'm using the Rocketfish 3.1A Model# RF-M657D with my Note. While using Google Nav, lowest brightness, keys backlight off, Sync off, HSPA+, the phone still loses charge (albeit, slowly). I'm assuming this is because the charger is not internally shorted between pins two and three as it is marketed as a iPad/iPhone charger. I'm using a Belkin Data/Charge cable so I know that is not shorted.
I have been doing some reading and last night, I purchased the "Satechi Smart Adapter Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S (I can't post links yet, google it.) so I will report back when I receive and pair it with the Rocketfish.
One thing I can't understand is how some of you have reported 1600mA from your car chargers. I am reading that without this adapter/cable mod, the Note will only run 460mA or so. With the adapter/cable mod, the Note's hardware maxes out at 960mA. Also, is their an app that allows me to see how much amperage the Note is receiving or are you guys pulling out the multimeter?

From what I read, your charger is an .5 amp.
It's not like my phone dies or anything, but it'll lose like 5% an hour and I could be exaggerating. Are you using a charge-only cable or modded cable/charger at all? Like I said, I think this phone is only pulling down 460mA without said mod and I find 1600mA to be incorrect as I read the Note will only pull down 960mA max. We'll see what this adapter does for my charge times.

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.

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'm switching from iPhone to the note 3. As a result, I will need to replace all of my chargers. I would like to order about 6 chargers and I want them to be a little longer than normal because I would constantly get fed up with the short apple cable. The new chargers should be the correct voltages for the Note. I would prefer the cable to be detachable from the power supply. Is there a goto charger that you guys use? Thanks!
Gotta see what voltage the note3 will carry. Also do you want all the cables to be the Micro USB 3.0 or 2.0?

Well from what I've read, USB 2.0 will charge just as fast from a wall outlet. I will just use the one USB 3.0 that comes with phone for my computer. So I will primarily be using these from a wall charger so I'll go with whichever one is cheaper.
You can also just goto Amazon.com and look for microUSB 3.0 cables and find plenty of them since its an industry standard and you don't have to pay $29 for a cable like apple rips their isheep off with.

Just a tip-- When I had my Note 2, I purchased extra USB cords from E-Bay. It might not hurt to check Samsung's website and look at the product name/ID for their OEM items, and then just get a few of those off E-Bay or Amazon. the native Samsung A/C Adapter with the powerful amps makes a huge difference too. and you can almost always get it for under $10.
Does the Note 3 have wireless charging?

I'm not 100% on this but from what I have gathered it has the wireless charging pins but you would have to buy the Samsung wireless charging back plate for it similar to the S4.

Not sure where your from...but if you have a 5 below store you can buy chargers, cables, cases for your note for $5 or less....I bought them for the note 2 and all worked without issue...:laugh:
Theres no point for usb 3 cables, they only add data pins. BUT if you plug into a real usb 3 port/computer, the phone MAY tell it to send higher wattage.

You can buy the wireless charging battery door from Samsung or Samsung S-View cover with wireless charging built in and get the wireless charger.

Thanks this looks good
How much is the Orignal Charging wire
here its not available yet
I am in the same predicament, I just want a 3m or 5m cable because the stock cable is too short for my liking, but the data socket on the note 3 is different then the other Samsung products, im guessing that this is a result of the usb3, but so far I haven't found anything on amazon or eBay that has the new socket only the old micro usb plugs which is know good to me,
And help would be great, I'm from the UK so shipping must include that.
Cheers guys

Here's one from Amazon US that is 9 feet, http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Cable-Micro-Meters/dp/B00B7WGH48/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1381072931&sr=8-4&keywords=USB+3.0+Cable
Also, you can use your micro usb chargers, just plug it into the bigger side of the usb 3 socket. It won't be long before we all have a bunch of usb 3 cables lying around though, as more hard drives and stuff come with them.
Oh wow so that's why the new port looks that way, backwards compatibility!! Nice oh problem solved, I still need a longer cable as my usb3 socket is a bit awkward to get to on my PC, so I wil look at the suggested weblink and see what happens,
Thanks dudes

anyone know if this is like the note 1, where you use a non-samsung cable, the charging voltage was reduced? there was some command to run in a terminal window that showed charge current. i don't recall.
i don't know if that's what did it, but at some point my note1's battery got ruined..where i couldn't get more than 10 minutes off the charger without a forced reboot. and all sorts of weirdness.

I've used non OEM cables and wall plugs, and it charges the same.
USB 2.0, USB 3.0 doesn't make a difference. OEM, non OEM doesn't make a difference.
OEM puts out at least 2 amps. Alot of other chargers put out much less so it will take longer to charge.
