Hope this is the right place to post this thread, and my first thread on XDA also.
I just bought the 2*1900mah Anker batteries and a charger combo these days. Every thing satisfies me, what toubles me is the charger.
Do you guys know how to use the charger, a manaul for this would be perfect!
Thanks!
This should help
Still waiting for help...

Really helpful video! another question hereļ¼ What is the USB port on the side for? for charging your mobile device or something?
Yes I believe it is
Glad my video is helping people, as was its intent!
Yeah, the extra USB port is for additional charging. Charge your one battery in the charger and charge the other in your phone.

Hi There!
Would someone be able to point me in the direction of a good quality cradle with USB and AC Adapter that includes the ability to charge another battery. Needs to be a good fit, and not flimsy.
I see a lot of the cradles on ebay state the AC Adapter is simply for charging the second battery, but I want one that charges the galaxy with the ac adapter as I believe it should be faster than USB?
Thanks in Advance.

I have some exp., and I have found it on first try on ebay. Try to search for "galaxy crandle charger"
I did the same, there are many nice crandles, some of them comes with aditional batteries as a bonus.
So don't be lazy
Here are two nice crandles, first ones that appeared on ebay after giving "galaxy crandle charger" search into it:

Lol, I see Virnik0 either didn't understand or read your question fully.
Anyway, I have bought a similar one to second dock he linked, it seems it only charges the phone via usb and the battery via the wall charger. Hope that helps.
@Virnik0 The OEM dock is for the Epic 4G which has a keyboard and is thicker than the i9000. As far as I understand the Vibrant version fits better.

Hey all,
I'm looking for a charger that will charge both the phone and an extra battery at once, with the needed mA to quick charge both at the same time.
There are lots of charges on eBay and Amazon but the reviews are not great for any. Can someone recommend one?
Here's one:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh...RFTU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322849246&sr=8-2
It has great reviews too.
thanks for the link but when you look at just the charger and not the combo pack they reviews are not as glowing.

You should actually read the reviews though...
I don't know how fast the universal charger is as I've yet to use it but the normal charger itself is really good.
Have been looking for a while to find an (affordable) micro USB cable which is a lot longer than the stock cable. When charging the phone right now I must contort myself in strange positions because of the rather short length of the supplied cable.
So I'm looking for a longer (>1.5m) cable but that one must also still charge with the same rate as the stock cable: 1900mA...
After reading some reviews on Amazon for example it seems that those cables are rather hard to find. They all lower the amount of charging current.
So the question is: does anybody know of such a cable (and has tried it himself with Galaxy Charging Current for example so it charges with 1900mA for sure :angel: ).
Thanks in advance :good:

Mah is not a charging rate. Its known as a discharge rate or capacity of the battery/cells. You might have better luck searching for it as 1900 ma (milliamps) or 1.9A (amps). I use lithium batteries in all my rc trucks and the radios and had to do a bit of studying about them, improper charging or discharging can lead to degradation of the cells or catastrophic failure (explosion).

Ordered two different cables from Amazon.de. Will update this thread when they arrive with the charging currents :good:
I just use a USB extension I think they are A to B, doesn't seam to effect charging or anything else untoward.
Edit look at this
3 meters long and rated for 2A

It's not rated for 2A at all
Those (cheap) cables rarely (or even better: never) offer the same loading charge. Especially at that length.
These work: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AR4M04S/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Using one on both my HP Touchpad that has a Charging Current app and it says 2A and my S4 is also using one. It also claims 1900mA. They are good cables for me.

I have the exact same problem as you, I have tried 10 different micro USB cables and only the white cable from the S4 charger chargers to 1900 or 1.9amps.
I ordered three of these below, as other forums recommended them, they should arrive today or tomorrow, if you can wait, I will test the output on them and report back.

Already some from Amazon.de on the way and ordering from US-based sites is often quite difficult for us Europeans. However, I would of course like to know your result, so please :good:
Funny, I usually strive to find smaller (10-30cm) cables.
What I need someone to explain to me is how do you know the cable isn't charging at max intensity. Does it not charge at all, or you measure the current, or what?

Shorter cables are handy for their own purposes as well, like in a car or something. However, when I'm watching tv and the phone is being charged the supplied cable, for me, is much too short. Very awkward to play with the phone when the cable is short, hence I wanted a longer cable.
Longer cables alas usually lower the charging current so while it surely does charge the phone it takes much, much longer to do so

With $32 shipping not a viable option. Would like them though as both cables from Amazon.de don't charge with anything above 1000mA

Yea that isn't worth it, unless you order 10 and maybe sell them on ebay locally yourself to recoup the shipping cost.
I bought 3 and the company is less than 50 miles form where I live, so the shipping was only $2.50.

Hi, did you get the cables? Looking at the photos on Monoprice they look fantastic.
I am honestly tired of the crappy cables, even the S4 came in with a cable that I can't fold.
Need something like the Apple USB cable...
Do you think the Nexus 5 will charge faster then the Nexus 4?
Does the Nexus 5 have 5?
Does the Nexus 5 have USB 2.0 or 3.0?
Thanks

Depends on battery capacity, charger output (nexus 5 charger gives 1.2A output).
What do you mean by 5?
USB 2.0.
Fast charging works perfectly on nexus 5. If you want to try it then some of them I can recommend.
Sony CP-AD2 USB 2.1 amp
ERD Mobile charger USB LP-27TC
Sony EP881 Quick Charger

Try another charger. Quite a few people seem to be complaining about the OEM Sammy chargers going kaput. Also could be a cable problem (broken wires) - I had a similar problem with my wife's tablet, fixed by replacing a cable.

Before buying a new charger, I would suggest confirming the exact problem first. You may be able to borrow a charger from someone (any USB charger with approx 2 Amp output will work, for example, from an iPad), or a cable. See what fixes the issue, and get a replacement. Also, if you have some average soldering skills, the cable can fairly easily be fixed at home (in case it is a faulty cable) - the wires usually break at the connector, and the OEM Sammy 30-pin connector is snap-assembled, not glued, so you can take it apart and put it back togethet. Good luck!
