I got my S2 AC charger lost. Can I charge my S2 with my iPhone 4's AC adapter, and with Samsung's usb cable? Won't it burn my phone, or do some serious problems?

It will be fine. Your phone won't explode.
It won't harm your phone physically but your galaxy s2 can be affected mentally. It may suicide or become deppresive after an apple charger.
I've been using an iPhone charger (i had one lying around don't judge me) for a couple of months and nothing has gone wrong so you should be fine.

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.

I've owned my Note for a week and have noticed only one issue. It will not charge with any other cable than the one that came with the phone. I bought a generic micro USB cable that worked perfectly with my Captivate but when I plug it into my Note it says it's charging but will either not actually charge or charge at an extremely slow rate (about 30% over 10 hours). I tried plugging the generic cable into the original charger and I get the same results. The phone wont even connect properly to the computer with any other USB cable. The problem is the cable that came with the phone is much too short for my needs. Has anyone else noticed this problem?
mines very slow to charge.....it take hours and hours to charge completely
Mine charges slower on aftermarket cables. My Skyrocket used to do the same thing and would not even sync, except with the oem cable and that was a common problem with the SR. So it is not a defect, but more of an oddity.

Hi,
My S2 phone GPS still drains battery when It is connected to USB car charger. This chargers works fine with my wife's iphone. Does S2 have special current and power requirements.
thanks

While the charger amperage could be your problem I believe it is more a cable issue. I am by far not the most knowledgeable but I believe the factory Samsung cables are grounded across a couple of the micro usb terminals to induce a "quick charge" when you phone is plugged into them. I believe a Samsung cable, or factory charger could solve you problem. I believe several manufactures do this to their cables. I use an ATT charger and don't have any problems. I believe I bought 2 of them re-manufactured for like 2 bucks.
Hello, i've got a question about the AC charger, i mean i got an adaptator with a USB cable..

S2 charger will be ok but your phone will charge slower. I think S2 charger has 0.7A capacity and S3 charger is 1A capacity.
Although there are no effects on battery with S2 charger.

S2 manufacturer charger should work just fine - only a little slower - but keep in mind that is a very good thing for the number of cycles that your battery will be able to take - the slower the better since the battery ages less
S1 works fine for me, and BlackBerry charger
I charge mine on LG, Sony, Samsung, HTC.. No problem whatsoever

Since I got my note 3 I've been charging it with my old AC chargers I bought on ebay which is a generic micro-usb charger (I got a couple of them laying around the appartment). I use my old chargers often because the samsung USB cable which was provided with the phone is always pluged into my desktop computer, and I didn't want to go trough the hassle of moving the cable all around the house to charge my phone.
Well anyway, so far I've notice charging times were pretty long(6-8hours), but I shrugged it off because I simply thought a bigger battery require longer to charge. But this weekend I slept off at my in-laws and I brought my samsung cable and AC adapter. I looked up with better battery stats and notice the charge time was around 3times as fast. (2hours or so for a 100% charge). Dammmn!
So why am I getting long charges with my ebay chargers?
Is it because they are cheap china product?
Is it because they don't have the USB3.0 port?
I'm thinking the USB3.0 has nothing to do with charging times if it's pluged with an AC adapter right? So my long charge time must be because of cheap products? Ok then, but if I want to buy additional chargers, or even a cradle for my bedside table. How can I know if they will have the best charge time? Am I forced to buy samsung branded stuff just to make sure?
Cause I'd be interested in something like this :

but I'm not gonna buy it if it takes double/triple charging time..

The Note 3 should charge in just over two hours with either USB 2 or 3 cables. If you download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free&hl=en that will tell you the charging current. It should be 1200mA with the screen on and 1800mA with it off (trick is turn the screen off for 10s then back on and refresh and you should see 1800mA).
As long as the charger can deliver 1800mA and you are using a decent quality cable that should be all you need. Plugged into a USB port you'll only see 450mA on either USB 2 or 3.
Usually the ones that charge this quickly have an output of 2 amps. That is the output of the charger that came with the phone.
