Not specifically. But it is possible.
If you are talking about the charge block only and not the USB-C cable.
The branded blocks are not always universal and provide only the amount of wattage to charge device they shipped with.
This also carries over to the cables sometimes, that's why when trouble shooting you may be asked if you are using cable that came with device.
Occasionally manufacturers have been known to wire their cables/ports differently so only their cables will work. This is not so much an issue anymore with universal standards, but it used to cause many headaches.
But back on topic, if just referring to the Samsung charge block that you plug the USB-C cable into, then yes it is possible it will not charge your device.

Although my S3 detects being plugged in to my car USB adaptor and my PC, the charge rate is ridiculously slow. If using the device as a sat-nav, the battery still declines quite rapidly.
My understanding is this is usually caused by weak output, but the charger I'm using purports to put out 2A!
Can anyone recommend a car charger for the S3 that actually works? Thanks!
The charger doesn't "tell" your phone that it can drain more than 0.5Amp.
While it's possible to go to higher speeds, the S3 prevents it unless it's sure to have a high-speed charger since most motherboard manufacturers only use crappy cheap components without power limiter.
The detection is done by a resistor between the data pins on the USB connector, so that one is either missing or the wrong value.
SiyahKernel allows you to manually force the phone to go up to 1Amp, however I wouldn't recommend it; forget to set it back and you potentially fry your computer's motherboard and/or other chargers you connect it to.

I purchased the carphone warehouse in car charger, that works fine, but was aroudn £12.

Thanks - that was what I suspected, although I wasn't sure why my old devices could (apparently) negotiate a higher current, unless the S3 needs significantly more to charge.
If I've understood wikipedia correctly, the S3 should be able to draw 900mA from a USB 3.0 certified port, but only 500mA from <= USB 2.0. So a PC with the later standard would charge the S3 quite nicely.

Thanks for your recommendation. 1-click ordered... you should get commission!
Guess I'll just leave a scathing review on the one I ordered. I should have known a <£3 charger was never going to work!
@daz_2000 - thanks for your comment, but I went for the TomTom brand... being able to charge 2 devices is a good thing.
Learn from my fail
OK. The issue was not my chargers, but the fact that I cheaped out on my micro-USB cables. When I use my OEM cable, it charges at the expected rate.
Two new genuine Sammy cables ordered.

If the cables are very cheap they have the wrong resistance which causes your phone not to recognize the charger.

They always worked for me =) Although one went literally up in smoke, capacitor blew and caused the converter to overheat within seconds.
No damage done to the device... luckily. Or at least the device (old iPod 30G) didn't care about it, they were nearly indestructable, similar to the old Nokia phones.

It potentially didn't. (Even if you now know that your cable is the issue). The S3 has a far larger battery so that it charges slower.
I have a Samsung SGS2. This charges fine off the original charger (650mA) , a new trent usb power pack (450mA), computer USB port (450mA) etc using a variety of cables.
I purchased a USB charger from a major retailer (B&Q) and found that when charging the phone a) had a totally unresponsive/dodgy touchscreen b) actually barely charged. Swapping the usb cable I was using for some cables seemed to fix the problem, but most didn't work.
However using the "failing" cable in a amazon kindle usb charger, and again the phone charged fine.
My conclusion is that the replacement usb chargers are faulty in some way - or at least not compatible with the SGS2. Possibly down to perhaps data pins not being shorted or similar.
Interestingly the exact same issue is observed on an HTC Sensation further suggesting it's the charger to blame (we have 2 of them - behave the same)
Can anyone explain/elaborate?

The unresponsive touchscreen you experience when using the charger is the result of the charger creating too much noise (ripple) which disturbs the electric field of the capacitive touch screen. Hence the digitizer is not able to work reliable anymore.

Shorting the data pins will allow the phone to identify the charger as such, compared to a standard USB port. The phone will then draw more current then it does if it detects a 'regular' USB data port. From that point of view shorting the data pins should not have any influence. However if more current is drawn from the charger the ripple will increase and therefore the disturbance of the touch screen could aggravate.
In the end the problems you are experiencing are due to a charger of poor quality.
Certain power points seem to not charge but certain power points do the charging job perfectly?
what's a "power point"?

The place where you plug your charger in.
that's a faulty charger then
Define 'power point'. Are you talking about different Usb cables, different chargers, different wall sockets or jiggling the cable's connector to the phone?
In the latter: replace the cable and you may need to clean the contacts on the phone (eg with a hard toothbrush)

I think he means wall sockets
ysah i think he means wall sockets also at which it would still need to be a fault with his charger as its there that the voltage is converted to the voltage and ampherage that the phone uses.any differences in voltage that is given to the socket would most likely be on a very small scale
Ah I see. Does Sammy do one to one exchanges of the charger if its faulty?

I have the same problem, but with all cables
I just posted to an other threat about charging problems, so i will copy/paste it:
I have the problem that the phone only want to charge with soms chargers.
I can connect the phone to the original charger or to a pc or any device without problems, the phone will charge.
Even with an old blackberry charger (only 2 wires, no data) and car charger can i charge without any problem!
But when i connect the phone to the htc charger of my old phone, or to an iphone charger i see the phone is connected but it won't charge.
When i open batterymonitor i see that the charger is connected, but the phone still use his battery.
I tried this with all kinds of charders and all kinds of micro usb cables. Then i thaught there was maybe a resistor or chip or something build in some chargers, because i couls only charge with chargers with 2 wire cables.
Then i took a usb extension cable and i disconnected the two data wires so only the + and - 5V cables were left,
but still no success. If anybody knows where the problem is, please let my know
with kind regards! Martijn

In the case there would be more people with this problem:
The problem is not caused by the charger but by the cable. If i use a cable that's a bit to small or to long i get problems. If you want a longer cable to charge your phone, you need a good and big one, not a cheap tiny cable. I only use good cables now and had no more problems for the last year or so...
My phone doesnt seem to charge.
Ive replaced the battery and the chargers (on my third charger this week) and nothing seems to work. Two of the chargers dont seem to be recognised so dont charge the phone at all, the other one does but wouldnt charge the phone even though i was getting a steady charge of 1000mA through it.
Im using Boefla kernel and have 'ignore unstable current' and 'ignore safety margin' both ticked but have tried on my ROMs standard kernel (using Omni) and still getting no increase in battery percentage.
This would all point to the phones USB port not working but i used my girlfriends Lumia charger and surprisingly it charged normally
I have read in one of the other battery threads that a fatter USB cable allows the phone to charge, can this be confirmed? One of the new chargers (one that isnt recognised) ive bought is a 2A charger so i wouldnt have thought that size of the cable would cause a problem?
Any suggestions would be great.
A cheap charger or cable may cause problems, a worn usb port also. More likely to be issues with the plug or socket than the cable core size.

I thought it may have been the cheap charger thing. 2 of them are cheap nasty things but the other one is fine, ive used the same make previously and it worked fine. I thought the USB port myself till it charged using the Lumia charger.
Looks like im gonna have to buy a Samsung charger and see what happens.
Help,
I have tried 3 different chargers (1 generic Anker, 1 supplied with Huawei P30 pro, and one supplied with Huawei mediapad tablet. none work
Nor does plugging into USB port on PC. I have tried various different cables to no avail. All cables work to charge P30 pro from its own charger @40 watts.
All chargers and USB port will charge the P30 pro
The only way I can get any juice at all into this bugger is by charging from the P30 pro directly.
I also noticed that the security update that installed last night took forever (roughly 4 hours) during 'optimising apps' phase.
Have tried factory reset too

Mine wouldn't even charge when the phone was off. it would show the battery symbol with 'lightning' but wouldnt actually charge - you could see the battery level drop in this state
Google are not being helpful about getting a replacement or even admitting there's a fault yet. I might just send it back and get a refund

I've figured out the problem. I have the P30 Pro charger and two Samsung chargers which are all USB A. None of them worked. What did work was a Huawei laptop USB C charger. It seems from reading elsewhere there's a good chance that USB A chargers won't work with the Pixel.
I thought Google hadn't included a charger with the Pixel for environmental reasons. Seems like many people will be forced to buy a new charger for their Pixel, thus defeating the point.

Blimey, that works. I'm a little annoyed I can't just plug it into my PC and slowly charge it overnight. but this saves the hassle of dealing with Googles useless support. Indeed the 'help article' I was directed to says to plug it into a PC as part of the fault finding.
Will anyone else's Pixel 6 (non pro) charge from PC USB connection??

It was probably a huge mistake for them to not include a charger with it.
yes, your charger needs to support PD 3.0 PPS charging to get the fastest charging possible on the pixels

Don't believe buddy above. This is not normal. Every phone I've ever had with usb-c works with a usb-a to usb-c cable. It charges and transfers data just fine. I also use one on my car stereo to phone for Android auto. Your phone is a dud. Get a replacement.

Mine does fast charge from the laptop USB-C connector, or even directly from the laptop power brick. The laptop is an Asus rog x 13 flow. If I am not wrong, in order to fast charge, your source has to support usb pd pps.
I'm sitting at work and my P6 charges just fine with a wall wart and a USB-A to USB-C cord. Not only that, but it's an LG wall wart that I have probably had since my LG G3 days (a long, long time ago). So even old power supplies will work.
If your phone isn't charging from a computer USB port, I suspect it is because of the amount of power being supplied by the laptop over the USB port. It's not a built in limitation of the phone however.

I see charging rapidly with my 30W charger. The Anker charger reads PPS but I am not entirely sure it's PD 3.

PPS is a standard that started with pd 3.0. Your charger is the correct one for fast charging.
so do we have any charger recommendations? the 3 i tried, after processing through AMERE, they are topping out at 15w-18w...
I just posted about one I think should work in another thread, should find out soon if I was right lol
