I have found that cables provided by your phone vendor do wear out with use and the connection weakens. I charge my iPhone directly from the battery pack and it works fast. However, this was not always true. I found that my charging cable had weaken with use. I replaced the cable with a new one and all is well now.

Are you trying to charge from the panels directly? If so it will take a lot longer. The idea is to charge from the power pack using the USB connection on the front of it. Many phones (including mine) will only charge up to around 70-75% from the battery pack. You would think a battery is a battery but the AA charge a lot quicker in my experience so far. Make sure can charge the battery pack. If you cant charge the AA battery pack then you might have a bad charge controller on the unit

I charge my droid with it. It takes longer than plugging it into the outlet but it always charges. Maybe the charger doesn't register lower voltage.

Until now I have not been able to charge any of my phones. I am in the process of returning this device.

Cathy, I'm sorry it didn't charge your S4. I did work fine on my S4, for a while. Then, the plastic opening that holds the cord wore out and it wouldn't hold the cord in the housing where you plug it in to the phone. All in all, it only lasted me about 6 months, but it did function well when the cord fit well. I hope this helps.

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

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.

I have no idea if this car charger will work with a Galaxy s4, the plug might be totally different for it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have on both my galaxy s4 and my galaxy 10.1 2014 tablet. O the S4 I had to connect (plug in) a couple times before it recognized it. Also if you have problems you my change the sequence of plugging in with the SD card in or out.

You can try and others charger also use the description "Travel Charger for Samsung Galaxy S3/S4/Note 2 and Other Smartphones". Also you can look for others by searching and will find other options that strictly tell you are for S3/S4. The only issue could be more time needed to charge but it will do anyway.

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.

Try using a micro USB charger that you may have for a cell phone. I never used the charger that came with it. Just the one for my cell and it works fine. Good luck.

You could have the wrong charger.I had the galaxy s2 from tmobile and mine went in there perfectly.The battery should be turned backwards in the cradle you shouldn't be able to see the the sticker.Keep in mind that the points should be on your negative and positive points on your battery.I hope this helps.

I bought 2 of these on EBay but I don't remember the seller. Both of them worked but one had a defective charging port. I bought the second one to replace the one with the defective port. I have found this to be a "flakey" arrangememt, at best, and I found that the S4 must be in charging mode for it to work at all. Hope this helps.

I found the same problem, my battery never seemed to charge. When I put in the original Samsung battery, the charging pins just fell in and the it became useless. I returned it to Amazon and bought another style of charger altogether

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.
