Charges samsung gs4 way to slow why?
2067104
There is a good chance that the current output is not high enough to charge the battery really fast. Additionally, it is better for the battery's longevity to charge it slower. I would have to take out my multimeter to check into it, but my guess is that its good for over night charges and not super fast charges. What I recommend is purchasing a second battery and keep one charged up so you don't have down time. I personally have an S2 and when at conferences, typically pull out that second battery.

The output amperage is too low to fully charge a Galaxy S3 or S4. The lower the Amperage the longer it takes to charge a battery. In fact, Anker has the following statement on the Amazon web page for this item, "Can NOT fully charge batteries for the Samsung S3 & S4". If it says that, why would you buy it for a Galaxy S4?

I have the galaxy S4 and it charges really fast with a 2A charger, fast with a 1.5A charger and realllly slow with a 1A charger. The charger actually shipped with the S4 is 2A.

I have had no problem charging a Galaxy 4 and other devices. Make sure that the connection cable is good and well seated in the phone.

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.

With my Samsung Galaxy S4 I am NOT able to charge. Which is unfortunate, because that is all I wanted to do. It starts to charge for a few minutes and then disconnects and then reconnects. So I guess it charges a little, but the constant connect/disconnect sounds drive me insane. Why VW couldn't just put a simple USB port in there is beyond me.

I don't know but on my s4 it's saying charge slow need the original charger .it must be a fake version

Mine is not too slow...sometimes if it happens i turn it off, take it out of the charger and start all over...seems to rectify the issue

Since charging is controlled by the phone's hardware more than the battery itself, it should not take longer than usual. This is an OEM battery, so it should charge normally.I have found that this phone charges quickly, both with the original and the OEM battery. It also depends on if you use the phone while it is charging and the settings set on your phone. The fewer programs running and the fewer connection options enabled, the less energy consumed. Also screen brightness is a big issue with this phone. The screen brightness will eat the battery charge since this display is awesome.I hope this helps!~Richard Since charging is controlled by the phone's hardware more than the battery itself, it should not take longer than usual.

The charging speed will be faster when it is plugged into the wall or using our docking station as opposed to be connected to a PC. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. RND

What is long? An hour? My tablet doesn't take very long to charge or to drain the battery. I just put it on the charger every night when I sleep. If yours is not charging fast enough you might want to buy a new charger first and then if it still takes too long contact samsung.

Well, my old Samsung it use to get hot. I think was from the charging process. Um, also when I try to charge it the plug in my phone broke. So i couldn't charge it. I do not have a solution to your problem. But if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. Please do not be too technical, I'm only 12

I would say to look elsewhere for a cable to charge most newer smart phones. I have had this cable for a year now and it never really was fast at charging but recently has become so bad that even with my phone plugged in and NOT using the phone it will drain the battery. I am very disappointed because I have bought shorter cables for about a dollar that charge faster than this one.

I have a GS5 also. I had that problem with a round charger, but have not had that issue at all with this one. It should not require any additional settings. I will tell you, however, that it charges VERRRRRY slow, and really gets hot, so I hardly use it.I also see the prior answer, and assumed you had the receiver in the phone. If you don't, you need to buy one. It's a very thin card, sits on top of the battery, and will not increase the thickness of the phone at all. Costs about $15 on Amazon or Ebay.

All I can tell you is that I was using a fully charged Unit, and attempted to charge an at&t; hotspot and a acer tablet the charging would last for a short time and then stop. It has been a very frustrating experience. Therefore I cannot really answer your question. Hope this helps.

The cable does NOT charge my Samsung Galaxy S4. It works as stated for data transfers and periferals like a mouse or keyboard but the external power appears to be only for the device you plug in. Incidentally, I could only read external hard drives that were in FAT32 format.

because samsung is a brand name. I bought my s4 on amazon for metro pcs, brought it to metro office and they took everything from my coolpad and put it into the s4 no problem. You might want to ask about any upgrades while your their, it might be faster than down loading them yourself

The coil says 500ma on it, so it most likely only does show charging. On my S4 mini it said "USB" on the charging screen, which is slow charging.
