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.

Hmmm... interesting... I didn't know we could do that... but I rather not change the stock cm7 kernel... hear ppl have issues with compatibility ...

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 meaning to fill the thread with useless crappy posts, but did anyone notice that Entropy512 just posted here? IT'S FRIGGIN' ENTROPY!!! When did he start replying to GP questions? Does he own a galaxy player?

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.
i got my s3 pluged in to my s2 charger and its macking this high-pitched sound...
whats that and is it safe to use?

You're trying to draw too much current and the S2 charger is current limiting... which will make it noisy as the feed-forward converter is running outside its design limits.

its dangerous for the phone or charger? or its not that big of a deal?
Stop using the S2 charger. It is rated at ~700mA and your S3 is trying to pull 900mA.
Not a great idea.
use the charger that came with the s3
and u will be good to go
i think that if you use your s2 charger for ur s3 it will damage your battery (but i'm not completely sure about that )
I use an old HTC charger at home which seems fine. And I use the S3 charger at work. Never had a problem.
The s2 charger will not damage the phone it will output only what it is design to no matter what phone you use. That it can be consider normal and chargers do sometimes make some strange noices. My S2 charger did exactly the same noice you described. Also Samsung is not famous about its good quality chargers.

How come does your 2100 mAh gets charged in one hour? A 2.1A charger will do this job, but damage the device?

Yes i noticed.. when i used my old HTC USB cable, the phone charged as usual..
I have a question though:
using a different USB cable, does it harm the phone in any way in respect to charging?

No it doesn't. The phone just takes as much power as it needs. The only way to change the "hunger" of your device is over custom kernel. But without this it has its own regular "needs".

could be a problem with a battery, for example my battery doesnt charge passed 89% and my phone turns off at 30%
this is due to a faulty battery or even previous heating issues etc...
these are issues you can only fix by buying a replaement battery

No. The slow charging is the phones way to protect the phone if there is a problem.

Hello guys,
I have my flat S7 since few months. Today, my Adaptive Fast Home Charger suddently didn't work. I tried to charge with another charger without any issue.... I really don't care about fast charge as far as it does hurt slowly our battery.
I bought this one :
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Log...3_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Y8RQ09D3JHE3NKF8QRH5
What do you think ?
Do you have any advice for another OEM wall charger for S7 ?
Cheers

But this charge has almost the same specs than original one ! Shouldn't be too dangerous

I don't see any reason in keeping the Logitech, I mean its way more expensive than the original and you can't fast charge your s7 (says so in the amazon page). Well it's up to you.

Anker wall chargers are very good and do have fast charging..
Since you don't use fast charging then logitech is equally as good

its qualcomm certified charger, and its also work with my 930f exynos (quick charger v2.0 charging speed only)
and charging speed is not too different with original samsung charger charging speed
Charger for iPad Air (5V: 2 A) works flawlessly too
