Is it safe to use a Note 3 5.3V charger on S4
Note 3 Charger is 5.3V
S4 charger is 5.0V
is it safe to use on S4?
Yes. But if you use a different cable it will likely charge differently given the S4 cable is designed to allow faster charging than previous Samsung phones, and even the different charger with the Samsung cable might mean it doesn't charge the same way either (haven't tried myself); this thread has good info.

Hi,
I have bought a new huntkey portable charger (power bank) PBA-6000 with output current 2100ma. But My galaxy s3 is not charging with this charger. And my galaxy S3 can be charged from the regular charger and from USB from PC. So this means there is no issues with the phone. I also have one galaxy grand phone and it can be charged from this power bank. that means there is no issues with the power bank. Also I tried two other huntkey power banks PBA-4000 with output current 1000ma and PBA-2000 with output current 600ma. And with these two I can charge my phone.
Can Anyone tell why my galaxy S3 is not being charged by this charger. Is this due to the high current rating? But if it is so why galaxy grand is charging? can there be any compatibility issue and Is there any solution of this problem?
Thanks in advance.
My adapter is getting warm while charging. I'm on my 2nd note 3 because the other one stopped charging. That could have been the cord as well, but I was still under warranty and got a new device. I have a LG travel adpter that is probably for a G2 and that adapter seems to handle more power based on the numbers. I'm not an expert though.
It's normal for chargers to get warm, particularly modern ones. Lots of charge goong through it.
What are the numbers for the g2's charger?

Samsung: Input/100-240v - 50-60Hz 0.35A
output/5.3v
LG: Input/ 100-240 60-90Hz
output: 5.0v
small writing, but thats what it looks like. I thought the LG said 6.0v at first. Seems like the samsung outputs more

.3v isn't a lot, since you lose about .3v in transfer (so 5.0 is actually 4.7). Not enough to make a difference in heat, anyway.
Is there an ampere value listed after the output voltage? I know it should be 2.0 or 2.1 for the Samsung one. The ampere value determines charging rate on equal voltages, and so a 2.0A charger puts out twice the charge as a 1.0A charger. That's generally why one overheats when another doesn't.

Using chargers and batteries that are not specifically for Note 3 can void your warranty (and basically all the horror stories with S4 battery problems so far were from either a non-Samsung battery or a non-Samsung charger).
The Samsung USB3 cable has the extra thing with the extra pins for USB3 - I would suggest using that cable only with the Samsung charger OR with a PC when you need a USB3 connection. For everything else you can use a good USB2 cable (those are like 1-3 EUR, maybe cheaper in other parts of the world).
All that being said - the battery will last longer is you recharge it slower and if kept cooler.

absolutely safe
the charging time will be a bit shorter.
Hi folks,
I happened to have lost my original charger for Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and all I have now is the USB cable. For emergency purposes, I need to charge my phone and it doesn't charge fast connecting to a PC. I do have an adapter for Samsung Galaxy S4.
Is it OK to use the USB cable on Samsung Galaxy S4 Adapter and charge my device? Or will there be a problem?
My phone battery is a 3.8 V Li-ion and 12.16 Wh
The Galaxy S4 adapter shows an output value of 5.0 V and 2.0 A
Awaiting replies at earliest ...
Thanks!

If that's hard ... can anyone holding a Galaxy Note 3 please post your output value mentioned on the original adapter?

It should be fine, most wall charges are fine. If you want faster charging you can make a charge only cable (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwKCXJc1iTc) and it will always charge at max speed. While this isn't good for your PC, it works perfectly for car chargers.
Any 5MV charger will work perfectly.
The official Note 3 charger is 5.3V - 2A, so using a 5V adapter will be fine, just a bit slower.
I use my old HD2 and S3 charger half the time.
using a 2A charger will be fine. 1A charger need double of the time

Hi,
I tested various chargers and usb cables, including the normal micro usb from the older devices, most of them works like a charm
Including my old OTG dongle (usb 2.0), I didn't yet compare the speed difference between both...

buy any chinese charger man it'll be a gud alternate for d original one
You can use pretty much anything.
I charge my Note 3 with the original one (5.3v/2A), I charge it with a Note 2 charger (5.0v/2A) and I charge it with an old Nokia charger (don't recall voltage but it is 0.8A). It will just charge slower, but otherwise works perfectly.
battery problem
recently I've bought a galaxy tab s 8.4 , but take too mach time (about 6 hours) to charging with it's stock charger (5.3 v , 2.0 A) , when i charged with note 4 charger (5 v , 2.0 A) , it charged normal (about 2.5 hours)
now i have two questions :
1. the note 4 charger is suitable for my device ? isn't bad for battery life ?
2.is it possible that the stock charger was fake !!!???
I have a couple 2 amp built-in wall receptacle 5V usb chargers in my house. They have charged everything I have ever owned just fine including my S4 that I just upgraded to an S5. For some reason, these chargers will not charge the S5. My car chargers and every other charger I own, some of which are not Samsung, still charge the S5. Does anyone know why the 5V wall chargers will not work? I have tried different cables too. Everything works fine except these wall chargers. Why would the S5 refuse to charge from them?

So does mine. Like I said above, only the built-in wall USB recptacles do not work and I can't figure out why. They are good 2 amp models that charge anything else that I can throw at them.

Hi,
I am purchased a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 yesterday. The supplied charger works fine. But, I have 6-8 aftermarket micro USB chargers that I purchased from Best Buy (Rocketfish) that do not work. The transformers on those are 2.4 Amp. The transformers on the supplied Samsung chargers are 2.0 Amp. Could this be the issue? Is there any hack to make my aftermarket chargers work?
Did you ever resolve your issue?
my capdase dual charger is not working with galaxy s5
I've had a GS3, a GS4, and now a GS5. The 3 and 4 would charge with any USB charger. Only the charging rate would change. I did some experiments with an old cable and found that the thin wiring in the cable was the culprit of the slow charging. When you get a phone (or tablet) with a 2 amp capable charger, it will be supplied with a cable capable of carrying that much power without a large voltage drop. If you have a lightweight USB cable, the voltage drop in the cable itself will drop below the 4 volts needed at the phone for proper charging.
I have a couple of built-in wall outlet 2 amp capable USB chargers. They charged the S3, S4 and older tablets just fine. Now I have an S5 and just got a Samsung 10.1 pro tablet. Both refuse to charge from the universal 3 amp chargers. They will charge from only the original Samsung chargers or from my laptop. Samsung has changed something in their charging circuits recently. I think if they detect a non-samsung charger they just refuse to charge completely instead of just defaulting to a slower rate. Does anyone know if this is fact or a way I can mod my wall charger to work on the new Sammy devices? I don't mind slow charging.
A couple of my non-samsung chargers not only don't charge but actually drain the battery.
If it is a change then it's not recent. I charge mine from my 3-year-old S2's charger just fine.

Just wondering if you ever found a fix for this.
I just got a couple of these new "built in" charging outlets. My outlets are 5VDC 3.0A and they work fine with every other device I have except the Samsung Galaxy S5.

the same here... i have the capdase ampo r2 dual charger... it's able to charge my note 3 but note my note 10.1 2014 and my kid's tab 3 7.0... it has an output of 5v 3.1a (2.1a and 1a)... i'm pretty sure it's not a problem with the tablet coz it charges with i use their original samsung chargers...
