In about two hours of charging I went from 8% to 41%. Is anyone else experienceing this issue? I'm using all the cords and plugs given to me for the wall.
I don't have the SGS3 (yet), but my guess is that the battery is so large it takes longer to charge. Keep in mind that it's a 2100MaH battery. Depending on the power that the charger puts out, it could take longer to charge this battery than another phone.
Mine charges fairly quick with stock items.

Mine went from 2% to Full 100% in a little over 2 hours on the stock Samsung charger.. I'm going to cycle mine 3 or 4 times being that it's new obviously.

So would you agree something is wrong with my phone?
I agree, the first few cycles might not be too accurate. If you want a faster charger get the HP Touchpad charger, it has 2 amps where as the Samsung one is .75 amps of charging. only $5 on hp website. that's what I use.

Monoprice sells a 2.1 amp 4 usb wall charger as well but it is not as cheap nor do they have free shipping *although atleast in CA I can get a flat rate of 25lbs and under for ~$5 shipping.*
I'm surprised no one has posted the correct answer to this yet. The wall charger Samsung has decided to include with the S3 NA is complete and utter crap. I believe it is .15amp draw. You need to immediately throw it in the trash and buy a new one. It is not a problem with your phone.

Thanks, i just ordered one up with a couple 10ft cables!
One of my HTC blocks and/or extension cables seems to have bit the dust recently.

while I like Monoprice, the HP OEM charger is better in my opinion. its solid built and portable too.
I use the Blackberry Premium charger works well with my S3 and is only like $15 or so on Amazon.
Before I rooted and calibrated the battery. My phone took 3hrs 20min to fully charge on stock 1A charger.

My Samsung Charger that came with the phone is 1Amp...charges the device fine. I don't think the 2Amps will make a difference if the charging chip doesn't support it (not saying it doesn't but the SGSII would only charge at 650maH no matter what charger you put it on)
Mine's charging insanely fast with the stock cable. Not sure if it's a good thing because battery life isn't all that amazing on my phone so far.

No problem, I bought a 100foot cat 6 ethernet from them for $12. They are really cheap while always having top notch quality on cords and some other stuff.

doesn't that mean each USB port is 0.5 amps?
Anyways if I'm not wrong the amps has to do with what it can supply. Whether the device tries to draw that much power is up to the device.
The stock charger is 5V 1amp.
Even if you use a 2 amp charger it will likely only draw one amp.
Even if it does draw 2 amps that would mean you are increasing the heat associated with more current. Heat is the worst thing for battery life. Its always better to do slow charge unless you're in a hurry. Your battery will last a lot longer that way. Having said that, I think 1 amp is a good compromise for speed and heat.
p.s. computers output 0.5amps per USB slot by default specifications.

Hi *@*,
I like to know exactly how long my gadgets need to charge, so I made this graph.
-charging started at 1% battery left
-WiFi/sync ON, display OFF
-original 5V/2A charger and cable used
Total charging time: 6h 8min, about 18%/h (between 0% and ~80%).
Enjoy!

I thought I saw in an article that it looked like Google/Samsung was going to have a pogo charger in box, but pulled it at "the last minute." Don't know if it's true, but a bummer all around that we didn't get one.
Also, this comment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34249045&postcount=6
thats a long time for a 2amp charger
seems to work with my 1amp note charger though
Has anyone look looked in the sysfs to get a better idea of how much power the tablet is actually drawing from the charger? I know the charger is 5v/2a but what is the tablet actually reporting. It is possible that the tablet is incorrectly identifying the charger and only allowing ~1a. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.
Iam very happy with micro usb charging.
+ >4 chargers at home (not easy to find the right ones, but galaxy note charger has enough power)
+ battery life increases (slow charging)
i dont need the pogo charger for charging - but its good to have a dock connector
Mine took forever also. Goodness

The Note 2 charger is 2 amp so it should charge just as quick
I was around 8% or so, and then I left my N10 to charge overnight (5-6 hours) from the wall charger. Woke up to it fully charged
Had WiFi enabled, sync on, and Asphalt 7 downloading in the background.
I was at 37% at 1:30am, woke up at 7am and it was only at 61%. Given, this was using a staples brand dual USB wall port with my GSIII plugged in as well. I certainly hope they release a pogo charger soon.

or a current app/widge that works?
i have one for my Note,but wont work on the Nexus 10
so if i get an apple charger or equiivalent from Ebay, the ones with 12W rating 2-2.4A will it chargee my N10 faster than the stock one? im guessing not by much. currently its taking 6-7 hours to charge. and if i forget to charge it over night, then kinda useless next day.
If anyone is looking for an alternative USB to AC charger, get the one from the HP touchpad. It's one of the best ones out, topping garbage like the apple one.

the tablet wont charge at a higher amp than its designed to,not sure what amount is, but probably is 2amp
and yeah i forgot last night, so im slave to the charger today
my asus infinity that im selling on ebay now because of this, took 2.2 hours from 0 to full
My iPad 3 takes 7.5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. So this sounds pretty similar.

its 35 usd from were I am sitting ..
and it aint about the looks.. that white external charger can double has a battery case and charger.. that is cool to me, could be for somebody else.
and the most important .. those almost universal battery chargers ain't worth a crap , and work like for 2 months and then give their soul to their chinese maker .. I had a few..
And I swear I don't trust those circuits to charge my batt .. that white external charger uses the stock charger or any external powerbank for charge on the go.
I Just think it's worth it , for it gives much more options
Love this one(RavPower 14000mAh)
I have an iPhone 4, sumsung S3 and iPad 2 which is clear that I need a battery charger that saves me. Looking around the market there're massive brands. At the first sight I have looked around Mophie, Mipow, but they seem to be at the luxury price line. Once my best buv Jack showed me his RavPower 14000mAh that he gets from Amazon, it was a cool one that you can charge 2 devices at the same time. Amazed by the price(around 40 bucks), I give it a try. Now I carry it with me everyday, you guys should really try it out.

I got two of those a week or so ago myself from eBay (same model charger ETA-U90JWE, different seller, etc.) and can confirm that they QuickCharge. I was a bit worried after reading some reviews on Amazon.com that there are knockoffs of the same model that perform poorly but I guess I got lucky.
Those that have it -- does the USB cable work with the original charger too? and with other 2amp chargers (like my car charger)? I always leave a AC charger in my car just in case, but if it's going to take 5 hours to charge my phone, it becomes pretty pointless unless I'm staying overnight somewhere.
This is okay but remember kids. Slow charging is much better for your battery

Yes, the white cables that came with it do fast charge (tested with both these new Samsung charges and stock LG unit). From 10% to full charge in about 90 minutes.

Charging times with any electronic device are dependent on amperage. Find a charger that is 2amps and you should be set. It will say on the box.

Lies! These aren't ****ty old NiCa batteries. If it doesn't heat bad, which i haven't experienced in fast charge, its perfectly fine. Screw the base brick, I'm just trying to find a single USB 3.0 (needed) supported cable that supports 1800mA. Not one that runs over 800mA and doesn't pop slow charge, but one That fully utilizes all the mA's. Can aubergine post a SS of the mA reading please?

Here is one I ordered from Amazon, it arrived today.
http://www.amazon.com/reVOLT-c2-Dua...=1384487213&sr=8-3&keywords=scosche+revolt+c2
I just tested it: I have a 110v wall plug to cigarette charger socket adapter. Plugged my old cig charger into it, used the white usb cables I described in a previous post in this thread, and got slow charge message. Then I took out that old cig charger and plugged in the new Scosche reVolt c2, used the same cable and got no slow charge message. Watched it for 2 minutes and it went up 2% (so I consider that QuickCharge).

Weird. This thing is picky. The usb cable with my 2.0a csr charger charges at around 900mha, but plugged in using the samsung ac adapter it slow charges at 30mha... but once in awhile it goes at 800 to 900
Thanks smacklayer - I bought one just like yours on eBay.
One has to be careful not to get a gray market knock-off, but it's hard to tell exactly. Even on Amazon, there are lots of complaints of chargers that appear to be OEM but aren't.
BTW: how does one tell if their G2 is NOT "fast charging"? Is there some indication?
I have a PowerGen 2A car charger with usb cable that I purchased a year ago for my N7. I plugged my G2 in the other day and I didn't see any visual cues that something was "slow charging" and it appeared to charge just as fast as the LG G2-supplied charger. So, I've been wondering about a "fast" or "slow" charging indicator.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

They have these available at every Walgreens, I can confirm they work with 2A chargers. I know they are ugly and awkward but if you're in a pinch and need one right away these are easy to find. Usually found around the register area.
