Does it charge Samsung Galaxy S5 - we all know it can charge from 1A port - now, does it charge from 2.1A port ? that's the main point

I use the 2.1A port to charge my Samsung Galaxy S4 and it works well. I know this doesn't answer your question about the S5 (sorry), but it may help S4 owners.

It will fast charge my galaxy s3 phone. However it mounts as a USB 1.1 device.

Yes, I plugged my charging cable for my Samsung Galaxy S5 into the radio and when I crank the handle, the S5 does show it is charging, although it is a bit tedious to continuously crank this for more than 3 minutes.

Hi Bryan F. Ritter, There is only one charging port and that is the 5V 2.1A Smart Charging Port. The other ports are used for data-transferring purpose only, which can not be served as standalone charger. Meanwhile, for the charging port, when your computer is off but the supplied power adapter is still plugged, the one charging port can still used to charge your device.

It turns out that not all USB chargers are created equal. I bought a USB amperage meter here on Amazon. My computer's USB ports were charging my Samsung phone at .4 amps. I bought a "intelligent" charger here and it charges my phone at 1 amp, 60% faster. I recommend buying an intelligent charger that can figure out how fast to charge your device. Anker 25W 5 port is what I bought. Or buy the DROK Dual-USB meter to figure out what you are really charging at.

Stop plugging it into a 1 amp charger. It's a 2.1a device. Charges fine on the standard charger from my s4. But older micro USB chargers it just hangs at around 2 bars.

You charge it using a mini usb cable and any usb charger or the usb port on your computer. The 1A port is for lower power devices like an iPhone and the 2.1A port is for high power devices like an iPad.

As others have stated you can't exceed 2.2 to 2.4 on a given port, but that wouldn't matter, because it isn't the charger that decides the amps to charge at it is the device. The only thing the cable and chargers do is supply enough amps and low power loss. An average device won't pull above 2 amps regardless of the output of the charger. The S4 pulls 1.8amps at its full draw and its oem cable and charger are rated for 2.1 if i remember correctly.

Indeed. I'm in fact responding to you right now on my S4 while it and my ipad are charging. I was concerned when I received it because the packaging alluded that multiple requiring 1A could be charged at once but only one if the unit requires 2A (like an ipad). I can confirm however that I can charge my S4 and ipad at the same time. It may take longer, I'm not sure. But if I plug both in when going to bed, both are charged when I wake in the morning.

It comes with a 1000mA dc output micro USB charger cord. But I used my own 12vdc car charger and plugged it into the micro USB socket on the back of the Encased mount. There is a short micro USB plug from the Encased mount that you then have to plug into the bottom of the Galaxy S5 phone.

It plug in usb 3.0 to charge or you can use 2.0 just like your phone. Don't buy this one its crap charges slow and you can't use OEM charging wire to charge it because for some reason the port is bigger than oem wire. Stay away. I recommend the oem charger from Samsung cost more but at least it charge fast.

Hi Terrence, The 1A is used for charging most smartphones and small devices. The 2.1A is used to charge bigger devices such as IPAD and other tablets more efficiently as they have a bigger battery. Having said that, the 2.1A is not limited to charging tablets, you can use it to charge a smartphone too and it will work just fine. Thanks, Omi Labs Store

I actually do not own this docking station, I bought it for my son and I asked him how was his satisfaction with it and he told me that he was completely satisfied with it, but couldn't answer me about the question concerning the S5 charging on it.

3rd to last bullet in the description says comes with "Car charger and USB cable so you can also charge it from your PC."No reason it wouldn't work with a galaxy S5

From CNet review"What is a little different is the USB housing on the bottom of the phone. Like the Galaxy Note 3, the S5 now features the elongated USB 3.0 port, which is backward-compatible with standard micro-USB cables. In other words, you can still charge the phone with legacy USB cables, but it'll really juice up quickly with the compound USB 3.0 cable Samsung supplies."

The Micro-USB port on the pack, it recommends a 2.1A charger, but it will charge just fine with a 1A charger but take a bit longer.

The speed at which it charges devices. If you have a device that supports 2.1A it will charge much faster than on the 1A port.
