Anyone using this on a Galaxy s3? Already got burned by a slow-charging knock-off.

I use this on my S4 and have had no issues. Also used on my former iphone 4s no issues.

I bought one in December 2014. It did NOT work with the Galaxy S3 or the Galaxy S4 Mini. I assume it was a defective product.

I've had the same problem with chargers not working for my Kindle Fire HD before, but this one manages to charge it a lot better than any other I've bought. I don't have a Galaxy, but I'd imagine the power draw should be fairly comparable to the Fire HD, as such I'd be willing to bet this should work perfectly. Good luck!

I have used it with a Galaxy S4. I did not time it but it appeared to work as expected.

I purchased for my S4 phone. I works, however it works on the phone by acting like a charger. The result is that it is discharging your battery when plugged in and you have to turn the phone off even after unplugged to reset and make your battery stop charging. I would not trust it.

I use a it for a galaxy now and now an S3 and it charges fine. U might want to check it battery if it's old or the power source or adapter it using because from the where the phone docks to the where the power enters its to short to believe there is power loss due to the connection length

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

Maybe partially but I can't even get a full charge on my Galaxy S3. Not worth it especially the 6+ hours it needs to charge up and then not fully charge anything. I returned mine.

I bought this to be used on Samsung Galaxy S3, and it does not work!!!!! It is a fake.

Yeah it will work with an S3. Will it charge fast? Not as fast as a wall charger but it's decent. Also depends on what batteries you are using in the charger.

YES I used it on my Galaxy S3 when my charging port was damaged and I could no longer charge my phone via USB. It worked for several months until I upgraded to the S5.

The sony charger I have will not charge my s3 fully. It also charges very slowly. Its portable and it does work, but I have a more powerful recharger for Samsung.

I have the galaxy s3 and never had any problems charging. I have also plugged in many other devices without problems. I hope this helps.

I only had it a month but the charge gave me like 10% on my galaxy s5 after just sitting and maybe playing with the led light a few times. doesnt seem to go fast if it does

I've never used the other model, so I cannot comment properly on it. Sorry. But I can day that the one I am using is pretty amazing for the size and price I paid for it. Plus, it uses the same charging plug as my Samsung Galaxy S4.

I have a Platinum Case, from Best Buy, and it DOES wirelessly charge through it! It only works in about ONE "Chi Spot"! Which I found to be in the lower half of the S5. It does not charge fast, and it sometimes gets HOT! If it gets Too Hot, it wont charge at all. My case has a kick stand on the back, which actually helps in keeping the phone from getting hot, cause it lifts it off the pad, just a little. Overall, its worth getting, if you want to preserve your charging port cover.

I don't know if it would but I would reconsider buying this. When I use it on my S3, after 6 hours of charging it has only a 15% charge and causes my phone to become extremely hot.

Yes it does. I was having the same problem with off brand chargers. This charger works perfectly for the S2 and the S3. The review prior to mine sounds like the battery is bad....not the charger. This charger is great!

Yes this specific lyrics fixed the problem for the s3 check out YouTube to see the instalation but my wife has used this for the last 6 months since her charge port went bad

I have this and I believe it may have been the reason my charging port stopped working. I had to use my warranty 21 days after I got the S5 and I recall how the cable did have trouble going in on a few times.
