Galaxy S5 Not charging from 2.4amp car charger - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So I just got a new car charger: Xqisit 6Amp Micro USB xqisit.c om/index.p hp?productdetail=20425 (Add the http: and remove spaces as I cant post links yet)
My phone charges fine off the 1 amp port, but when connected to either the short built in cable, or using the same cable as with the 1amp port, my phone does not even detect it is connected to a charger
My phone is a Vodafone Galaxy S5, running the stock 4.4.2 firmware.
This charges fine using any other charger.
We have also tested my dads S5, which is running 5.0 which charges fine using any of the ports.
We've also tested both phones in a different car, and get exactly the same results.
Any ideas why my phone refuses to charge off the 2.4Amp ports on this charger?

USB recharging weirdness

I can't locate a usb bob to test ultra-tiny pins on mini? usb so it's hard to triage this issue.
I bought sync/charge and charge cables from BoxWave...they work perfectly and allow me to charge my 8525, S9, 820 and Holux GPS from a battery pack, wall xformer, car charger usb, etc.
I then bought charge cables from JAVOedge.com and they don't work...they do charge my friend's 8525 though.
The JAVOedge cable won't charge my 8525 but will charge my Holux GPS.
Both charging cables are 2-wire and charge/sync cable appears to be 3-wire.
Although JAVOedge doesn't charge my 8525 when it is powered up...noticing another forum thread I powered 8525 down and now it DOES seem to be charging...at least orange light is on.
I recently bought Targus ultra-slim hub, VEC414S and Tumi Universal Slim PS....yet can't get a lockdown on exact usb charge-only cable reqts.
Why can I connect ANY device via USB directly to computer and it always charges with vanilla usb....yet same usb connected to powered standalone usb hub or charger/battery no workee. Is this due to 1A from computer usb and only 500ma from hub?
Any ideas? I'm confused without approp. BOB to check pins with multimeter.

No AC charging

After trying a few different roms and yesterday my N7 will no longer charge when connected to an AC charger, it still works when connected to a pc.
I'm using the same charger/cable that has been working for months and the charger works with other devices.
I have tried factory reset/wipes and full reinstall. I have also tried restored backups for a few days ago which no longer work either.
Any one know why it would work from pc and not AC? Could it be a hardware problem unrelated to rom changes?
your tablet charges through PC; are you using a USB slot hooked up to a higher power connector (i know some motherboards have those)
I've worked it out. The nexus AC charger has slide on pins for countries different GPO configuration, the head i had on the charger wasn't clipped in all the way and was causing the charger to work intermittently.

What Micro USB cable that provide fast charging?

Hi,
I bought PowerGen 3.1A Wall Charger, when I use with original Micro USB cable that come with my Samsung Galaxy S4, the charging current is 1.9A, when I use with a generic USB cable, the charging current is only 700mA. (I have a way to test the charging current)
Does anyone know which Micro USB cable that carry fast current, such as 1.9A like original USB Cable that come with S4, or even better, carry up to 3.1A that this Wall charger provides?
Thanks All.

Faster charging is enabled in the kernel, not by a cable bro.
Hi,
you have to look for custom kernel with fast charging support. I am using faux123 with fauxclock app.

[Q] G2 charging problems

Anyone got the same issue?
I cannot charge my G2 via PC or laptop USB. I am using a different cable though.
I've read somewhere that the needed output for a charger to work is 2.0amp, but this is already a USB connected to a computer!
If the charging doesn't work, that means i cannot connect it to the PC at all since it was never detected.
Is it the cable that has problems? This cable that I was using was still working perfectly fine yesterday with my other phone though.
Unless it is usb 1.0 it should only be the cable

computer and car charger not working
Me and the wife have LG G2 from Verizon and our phones will not charge from the computer or using our car chargers. Also, two of my 3rd party wall chargers will not put any charge on it. It thinks it is charging, but it doesn't and the percentage continues to drop. Very disappointing.

I don't know where you got the 2.0 amp from, but it's wrong. The charger that comes with the phone is only 1.8 amps, so you don't need a minimum 2.0 amps to charge the phone. If you plug in a lower amperage cable, you should get a warning that it will take longer to charge and you should use the charger that came with the phone. Haven't tried plugging into my pc yet. I should probably do that now to transfer some ringtones....

Unable to use 3rd party chargers after latest update

Anyone else having this issue after the latest update? I can charge my phone fine with my Samsung adapter and cable, but when I try to use any third party charger (like Aukey), the phone doesn't recognize that it's plugged in and will not charge. I can use the same cable and adapter on my son's phone and tablet, so the cable and charger are fine, but my phone will not recognize them no matter what I do, not even my car charger.

Everything's fine here. In the car, I use the Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 charger & my GS7E charges just fine.
