Hi there,
Is the charger for the i9100 the same as the i9000? I have a i9000 charger lying around in work that might suffice as a back up charger.
Before some suggests it: I also have the USB cable for charging as well in case anyone boycotts this thread. ;P
Regards.
Anyone? I know that some peeps have both 'phone.
I think you can charge with anything as long as its comes with micro usb port

I have both and yes the cable & wall charger are the same in my eyes.
I saw some 1500mA car chargers in various shops. Isn't such a high current harmful for the battery?

Yesterday I've been navigating again with Navigon on my SGS2, but unfortunately it slowly drains my battery. When using google maps it dous charge the phone. So apperently Navigon is using a lot more 'juice' compared to Google map navigation.
Do you people know a charger (I assume one of 2A, while my own charger is an 1A charger) which does charge the phone with bluetooth, gps and Navigon running?
I bough a 2.1A car charger from belkin and I still have battery drain.
Even with the phone detecting it correctly as AC CHARGEr.
Hmmm that's to bad
Ordered a 2A charger from ebay myself.... But I doubt it will work, especially after reading your message.
I think the phone only takes a maximum of Amps for charging, even though it uses more. Resulting in a slow battery drain.
Note that it will stopped charging if the battery gets too hot to avoid damage or possibly exploding the battery.
Obviously having a higher rated charger will heat the battery more, so make sure the phone has its back ventilated, and try avoiding direct sunlight.
Read of several people that had this issue, but got their phones charging when avoiding overheating it.

Try the Rockfish premium charger. It's 2A and looks nice.

has anyone had any luck with the motorola charger? I bought one for my nexus one + car dock and it always worked fine... have yet to have a chance to use it for my SGS2 though..

But that's a bit strange, because a charger should deliver what a phone is asking for. As far as I know, a charger doesn't push the charge to the phone. But we will see, if the phone does get overheated, then that will be the end of the charger.

You're mistaken.
The thing that you plug into your car, that's called a power supply.
The real charger is built into the phone. That's the charging circuit that will shut down the charger, stop drawing power from the power supply when the phone gets too hot.
I doubt the phone will be able to take 2A, and the circuits will prevent the phone from drawing 2A of current.
#1. So, what you're looking for is actually a power supply that provides suficient current. Most car chargers will be about the same.
The power supply is connected to your phone via cables. Badly made cables will not be able to supply more than 200mah, and as a result you're going to take a really long time to charge your phone, and with a high drain application going on, you're not going to be able to charge your phone.
I had that exact same problem previously, and it was because of a lousy batch of oem cable I bought from ebay. Original, and other brands of oem cables worked fine.
#2. You need to buy some proper cables. I buy from www.monoprice.com, because I like my cables to be gold plated.
Edit: No, I'm not related to monoprice. I just love my gold cables plated heads. Can't find them cheaper anywhere else.
But the quality of the cable is not the only thing. The phone should also see the charger as an AC charger instead of an usb charger. This can be done by connecting the middle pins in the usb cable. Otherwise it will only charge with 500mA.

Is there a car charger you can buy that does this automatically? (i.e phone thinks it's plugged into AC rather than USB). I'd rather not plug anything i've been messing about with into my beloved SII.
It's not about the charger but about the cable you're using.
I need a new charger and i would like it to be original, do you know where to find it?
Nope. And ive looked. Too many fakes anyway and low quality chargers. I use my moto, n1 and an atnt charger for my a/c chargers. And a dual port sony a/c usb charger.
...
I bought one from Amazon just last week. It matches 100%.
The picture on the amazon link shows the micro end of the usb to be off center. The cable I received is identical to the one from Samsung, down to the texture of the cable.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YCORR0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
I bought the Galaxy S2 charger, its a normal charger without the socket + usb lead, so it allows me to keep the usb plugged into my PC while i can have the AC charger somewhere else. you can pretty much pick them up anywhere, i got a genuine one from eBay:

Here is an OEM one straight from Samsung but I doubt you will want to pay the price.

You can try to get a Sony EP850 charger.
The output is 1.5A which charges very fast. I'm satisfied with it!
I just bought this one but haven't received it yet. It looks identical, though apparently it's for the Galaxy Note. Same voltage/amperage though, so I bet its exactly the same thing.

I got it, it's exactly the same. Works great
Thanks for the answers
Any microUSB charger with output of 5V/1A will work, but you can find some charger with 5V/2.1A which will also work tablets and support future products.

Actually, I've tried one of my micro USB charger with 2A output.
GN just wont charge on this charger.
But GN charges well with my Nokia 1.2A and Sony 1.5A charger.
I have a charger with 4 usb connector at 5V/2A and it work ok.

i have one of those bullet usb car chargers and i recently tried it out with my s3 at 15% battery life and it keeps comming up with the lower battery warning while i'm connected to the car charger and the status bar shows one moment it's charging, one moment it's not! I opened up this charger and the data lines are by default shorted together. The charger is rated at 1aH max. Any ideas?? I've attached pics of the insides of the charger.
Suggestions are welcome. I've just been using my s3 wall charger off ab inveter since switching to android and it's getting pretty annoying.
Does the charger work with other devices?

USB port bad on your S3 possibly? My s2, i remember, when you pressed it down it disconnected
Try a different charger.
Not all chargers agree with all phones.
If it's not out of the question just get a new car charger made to work with the t999.

No problems charging on other chargers or charging My s3 with this car charger when the car is off with the car battery left on. When the car engine starts, the voltage of the cigarette port drops from around 14.5v to ~12v
It's a 12v power source.... Can you try another car charger?? What model is it?

When a car isn't running though it's around 14v...this is when my S3 has no problems charging on this charger. I have some usb car chargers (idevice chargers) that don't have the data lines shorted and these work fine with the S3 apart from them not charging at 1aH.
Hi everyone
I have galaxy gio, recently when i connect wall charger to my device (and any charger of similar device and working for all own device) nothing do.
but when i connect usb cable to my device, my device is charging.
where is the problem?
please help
thanks
Well ... seems that the charger is broken. Maybe try another one . Also make sure to have the right sockets 110 V / 220 V current whatever country you`re in and that you have the right charger for it.

my charger charge galaxy s i9000 well, but dont charge my gio.
Is it the original charger from Gio ? It should output 5V ~ 0,7A
i had the same problem and was told by buy another charger
bought another one(original) and it didn't work
so i returned it and bought an universal charger 5v 1A ( a usb universal charger i think it was called) and problem solved
it shouldn't damage your battery because i think our gio has a voltage/amperage regulator(but don't quote me on that, i'm not 100% sure)

Here another Gio, which can only be charged with a USB cable. Wall charger doesn't work, however, sometimes a whole night connected to a wall charger will actually charge the Gio... very strange. Tried several wall chargers, they are not the problem.
What's is causing this? Is it software (ROM) related or a hardware failure?

Every problem is different clearly.
Considder verifying dust in the gio connector.It picks up dust...bad contact and no more charging.
Clean it and it works for months again
Enthusiastic Gio User
Very glad with the work done
But sometimes a pusher for results( nothing bad intended)
We've found a workaround.
Shutdown the Gio and remove the battery. Plug in the wall AC charger in the Gio. Put back the battery and it will be charged by the wall AC charger.

I wonder if you'd want the USB Wall Charger 2.1A - Black. I can't tell from the description if the one you linked is only going to deliver .5A to the phone.
This Wall Charger has two USB A female ports, one on each side, and provides a total of 1A of charging power.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if you only plug a cable into one side is it going to send the full 1A through that cable or is it only going to send .5A which would be a slower charge. The SG3 is listed in the description for the 2.1A charger.
Monoprice cables are great. I use them with my chargers. I don't have the premium ones though. I bought this one: 6ft USB 2.0 A Male to Micro 5pin Male 28/28AWG Cable
I'd love to hear what other users have to say.
I bought the premium cable from monoprice, and it works great.
