How come this doesn't work with my Samsung Galaxy S 5? Even tried with the original cable that came with the phone.

Because this charger is compatible with Apple. To do so, they cannot follow the USB charging standard. So, if you have a phone that does, like any android phone, you have to have a special charge-only cable. I really wish that there were at least one high power charger available that did follow the standard.

Beats the hell out of me. Works flawlessly with my note 3. Maybe they pulled an Apple and put a chip in the charger to tell the phone it's made by a company that paid the fee to the OEM?

SCOSCHE indicates this charger will work for the Galaxy S3 and S4 but will NOT work for the S5. I'm guessing the power requirements for the S5 are higher than this charger was designed for. I would give the highly rated Anker® 24W Dual-Port Rapid USB Car Charger a try. It's rated to work for the Galaxy S5 and is on sale right now for $9.99 at 50% off. That's a great deal! SCOSCHE I hear has a good return policy, I'd give that a try as well.

You need a charge only cable. You can make one but just buy one. Do not use that cable to connect to your computer, though...may or may not short the computer's USB port. The unique feature of charge only cable is that the communication wires are severed and shorted together on the micro-USB end and left open circuited on the USB end. Your phone sends a signal out on one of the data wires and if the signal comes back, it accepts 2 amps. If it does not come back, it accepts around half that. The reason your Samsung Cable and wall charger work is because the wall chargers are wired that way so the cable needn't be a charge only cable. I have thus far been unable to find a cigarette lighter USB charger that has the data wires configured like a wall charger. So it is actually your phone that is limiting the charging rate at the moment. Pick up a charge only cable and you'll be all set.

It does not work with my new NOTE 4 either. I bought this some time ago and worked well with my old S4 and NOTE 3 but doesn't charge at all with the new NOTE 4. I suspect the same problem as the S5. I'm not sure if a charge only cable with fix this problem or not, but I might try it.

I have an android Samsung galaxy s5. . It didn't work with it either. I waited too long before trying it and couldn't return it

Yes it works with galaxy s5 phones, but they say 5ft but they are only 3ft. I sent it back for the correct size, and they sent another 3ft

It doesn´t work on my S5 either. What a bummer! One of the annoying things of having Samsung smartphones is the customers must struggle a lot if they´d need any kind of help or buy acessories. In that way Apple is zillion times ahead.

Weird never had a issue. Have u tried the cable in the standard wall adapter that the phone came with

i had to use a different charger/cord to get it to work. Only the wall plug and cord that came with my phone would work. i bought a 6 foot usb cable off amazon which would have the problem you're having, then i put the cord that came with my phone on it and it worked fine again. Same with a older wall plug that i had.

Help, I don't know where to post my question but I purchased the 2.5mm adapter 3x for my galaxy phone but its not working. Is there something Im doing wrong?

It does in fact work with no problem. Tried it out yesterday with a buddy that has an s5 in a UAG case and my girlfriends s3 which was in a wallet case. No connection issues whatsoever. Paired as if the phones were case less.

I can tell you with certainty that this cable does NOT charge my phone (Sam. GS5).I find no reason why it shouldn't, except that perhaps it is disabled due to the thin gauge of the wire. I have other OTG cables that DO charge my phone. I was very disappointed in my purchase... especially given the price.

Yes I tried the cable and it is not like the original. The one I received did not even fit my phone because it was defectived. I got a refund instead.

I'm not sure about the S5 but it should cause it works with my Note 3 Verizon and worked with my S4 before that.

It should work, but it doesn't. At least, I haven´t been able to get both sound and video from my Samsung Galaxy S2 with this cable.

I will first check the connection and see if it is secured. Or try another cable, such as the original phone charger cable. What phone you have?

I do not know if this will work for the S5 as I actually purchased this product for the S3 a while back ago. I will share that it worked fine for a while and then it no longer worked. I have no idea of why. Maybe it was due to a software update or something of that nature. Good luck.

Hi Ruby, I purchased this cable for my wife as a spare for her Samsung S5 smart phone. She leaves this cable at work for charging purposes. I just asked her your questions, and she told me she believes that this is an authentic Samsung product, but that this cable is shorter than the cable that came with her phone. I think I remember the packaging was Samsung, but I'm a little fuzzy on that memory to be honest, it's been a few months now. She says that this performs like the original cable. Hope this helps!

This worked with my 5s for months but suddenly stopped working, I get a message saying the cable is not compatible.

Hi, it may be a faulty unit, I have an S4 and a Galaxy Tab S 10.5 that work perfectly with this but both don't work with a similar device from another manufacturer. Unfortunately, quality is hit or miss from these no-name manufacturers. Try another from this outfit and get one from someone else and send the one back that doesn't work. It shouldn't be this way, but it out is. Sorry.
