[Q] S2 charger - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a Galaxy S2 and I want to buy a charger for S4 to win in terms of time.
A charger S2:
OUTPUT: 5V / 0.7 A (Less amperage More Time)
A charger S4:
OUTPUT: 5V / 2A (more amperage Less time)
Does it have an impact on the life of the battery?

S4 charger won't work the way you think with S2. The S2 will only draw a maximum amount of current, you can't force it to charge at 2A.

Charging the SGSII with 1Amp USB/Charger?

I notice that the standard AC/Charger is 0.7A output. Possible to use another AC/Charger rated at 1.0A output? What is the USB output anyways? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
PS Still considering rooting or not (will it void my warranty?) *WUSS*
I am using my Galaxy Tab 2.5A charger to charge the S2. It still takes about the same amt of time to charge up full.
I believe the charger current rating is the max current it can supply. The S2 will still draw current at it's own max...maybe 0.7A.
Doesn't matter what charger you use on it, if it's greater than 0.7A The S2 will limit itself to 0.7A.
if you want raise charging amperage, you can help me looking for someone, who will change(raise) it in kernel...

Given the same voltage (i.e 5V for USB), it's the resistance of the phone that determines how much current is drawn from the charger. Therefore anything above the rated 0.7A would work fine and dandy.
Thanks to all the fellas that responded! More than enough information provided.

The standard for usb is 500mA/5v and this is what you get out of most computers, usb hubs and so on. AC to usb chargers will also run at that more often than not. AC chargers on the other hand usually run hotter, up to 1A and more. I have a 1A and a 1.5 amp and both charge this phone at exactly the same rate. It was not so with my N1 where the 1.5 was quite a bit faster, certainly appears like there is throttling going on as others stated. I would be curious why they did this when some other ODMs are selling phones with 1A and higher rated chargers.
look in the source code, wall charging is capped at 650 mA and USB is capped at 450 mA. and this makes sense why samsung included a 0.7 Amp charger.

[Q] Right car charger

I had a defy earlier and i have been using the motorola charger can i use the same charger for my s2..... if not how about these belikin\capdase chargers which have Output Voltage & Current: 5V 1A can those be used or should i use only a official Samsung charger....
bump!

This has been answered before
The important part here is the voltage the car charger outputs. I believe the standard Galaxy S2 outputs 5V (at 700mA [0.7A]). If the mA is lower, it will take a longer time to charge. If its higher, it will only draw from it what it needs.
So, check the output voltage of the charger is not higher than 5V and you should be ok.

[Q] can charging » S4 charger or any charger?

I need to charge my hox+ (charging time 3 hr) with any rapid charger
Galaxy S4 charger» Output: 5V»2A
Htc charger» Output: 5V»1A
Can i charge with S4 charger or any rapid charger(high A) or there is a risk?
I need most rapidly mod for charging if there?

The higher mA the faster the battery is charged.However this is not recommended due to the battery life will be affected as well.
In addition :
Your phone would get hotter, and this may damage your mainboard.
Long term usage will affect battery life span .
EDIT: If you have one of those chargers , try charging with it. If your phone gets hot, unplug it as it can damage your device.
Normally, the device (phone) regulates the current while you charge the battery. 5V/1A only says that the charger can supply a maximum of 1A.

Low ampere wireless charger

Hello,
I have a wireless charger that i bought for my Samsung Galaxy S4. It's not an original samsung charger but it worked fine and the output is 1000 mA. I bought a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and i want to use it but I know that the S6 Edge's charger's output is 2000 mA. So will it damage my phone's battery if I use a charger that has a lower amperage?

Chargers are designed in such a manner that it is almost impossible for one to damage the device it is charging. Just be aware that a charger with a smaller output will charge slower
