Sony phones charge so fast it's quite frustrating how long the nexus S takes. Would you suppose it would be safe to try to charge nexus S with the charger of xperia arc S? After all the micro usb standard should be safe to work on all phones right?

Although the plug is identical, it doesn't mean they're all the same in their specs. Samsung official charger for the Nexus S gives 750ma at 5V. Anything else and you're taking a chance.
just make sure the out put is roughly close, if not exactly the same, it shouldn't be a huge problem if you wanna quickly top up before you leave. i do, however, suggest you use the samsung one for over night charging.

If it's USB, you're safe. Phone will negotiate the required current with the charger, so you could buy a 30A one if you wish, just don't turn on fast charge with overrated ones, as it disables the regulator (*KABOOM*)

Ah so AC charging with faster charger not recommended? So can we get faster charging on nexus S by getting a new battery or does it have to do with the circuitry in the phone?

TRUE it just affects the time needed to charge if it is not as powerful as the original one.
Turns out sony charger makes no difference to the charging speed even though it charges the xperia arc S in under an hour. Oh well samsung charging really sucks I guess this is a matter that needs to be highlighted more in my opinion it's a huge disadvantage.
I can confirm what ozone89 says. I've tried all kinds of charges on my NS and I've achieved same charging times.

does the phone really charge so slow??
There's already a few threads discussing the slow charge time. Seems to be an issue for many. All Galaxy S phones seem to take a lot longer to charge than say an iPhone.
My Nexus S always makes it through a good 16+ hour day without needing a charge, and I always charge overnight while sleeping, so I haven't personally noticed this as an issue.
Like any smartphone these days, it's probably a good idea to just partial charge during the day when you're in a situation (like the car, or at your computer desk) that lets you. It's not necessary to do the full drain, full recharge only with the current battery technology.
Its odd, mine and my wife's phones take maybe 3 hours to get to full from sub30% yet that seems to be the outlier.

Are you charging it on the supplied wall charger or through a computer's USB port? It charges significantly slower through a USB port than from the wall charger

Wall charger charges a bit faster than USB since its rated at 700 mA rather than 500 mA. Best bet would be to go with a car charger that charges at 1000+ mA.
i used wall charger..
Hi guys i have a wall charger from my nokia n97 mini which is 1200mA. Can i use it or i will destroy the battery?

If the voltage is correct, the amperage should not be an issue...the phone should only draw the current it actually wants/needs.
But bear in mind, if your phone blows up, it's not my fault, I have no experience with that charger or it's actual ratings.
Dear all,
I'm wondering if I can use Nokia charger for my Sony Arc S or not as I see its port is the same. I'm asking this because Sony charger cable is too short that sometimes it's hard for me to move the phone. Will it make my battery damage if I keep using it for long time?
Thank for reading my post.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you'll still want to compare the output of the chargers. If the Nokia can't put out what the Sony charger can then it will take longer to charge, or possibly charge it faster, but it will die faster. If it puts out more, it should be ok, but still compare the outputs in mAH to each other.
For example, with older phones, you couldnt charge a motorola razr with a blackberry curve charger because it put out too much power, but you could charge a blackberry curve with a razr charger, and it would charge fast, but also die fast. The old htc phones like 8125, 8525, if completely discharged sometimes would only come back on with an original htc charger, nothing else.
I prefer an OEM charger, but will charge with whatever if that's all that's around.
I have an HTC charger and it works fine,also my wife has a pony Ericson x10 mini which also charges my galaxy s2. You max find it a little slower but test it out. I sometimes found tho using the HTC one overnight for example on occasion would make my phone warm. Try it out tho it shouldn't be an issue.

also, if both chargers break down to usb cords, just use the nokia usb cord with the sony plugin part... its that part that produces the charging power...
By what you all said I have checked the stat of both charger as below:
Nokia: OUTPUT: DC 5V, 550mA
Sony: Output: 5.0V, = (a sign) 850mA
So according to this, if I use Nokia it will take longer than using Sony itself right ?

That's a significantly weaker charger... Yea, itll most likely take longer to charge the phone, but certainly not damage it in any way...
Thanks for all the helpful posts. I have idea about it now
Like it more than halved the time the insufficient HTC wall charger took to charge the phone.
FYI
Oh that's cool. Can't flash ROMs on the iPhone, iPhone battery doesn't last that long, no control over processor speed, need I go on? They're two different phones for different people. No comparisons needed.

Thats good to know, i wonder if it will mess anything up. Only reason its especially worrysome is because we can't replace the battery on this device...
the hox charger is a 1amp charger and aren't the new newer iPhone Chargers 2amp?
That's why it would charge faster I believe.

Not sure, but i also have an iPhone, maybe ill try that charger out and see if it really charges faster. I know that the iphone charges ridiculously fast, i guess its because of the charger being 2amp.
The phone dictates the rate at which it charges.
then the charger wouldn't make a difference?

Yes, it does. The stock HTC one seems to only provide .6A. The iPhone one is 2A.

The phone will have the ability to LIMIT the rate it charges but that doesn't mean it can't be better or worse based on how much power you give it. Good to know about the iPhone charger, I have a bunch of those laying around.
Same with the hp touchpad charger. It charges my phone an atleast 30-45 mins faster than the HTC one going from under 10% to full.

Another xda noob
It also depends on the kernel, you could have a script in the kernel to fast_charge
From my powered Shooter.
I use my iPad charger to charge when I need a faster charge. It's also 2A versus the 1A on the old iPhone.
I also have a dual car charger in my car that has an iPad usb port and everything else USB port
I remember hearing somewhere that the hox is limited to 650a anyway
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Given that the battery is non-replaceable, I'm inclined to be patient and not risk messing it up, no matter how slow that charger is.
I just tested the tp charger, charged almost an hour faster
PS. using aokp
I have note2 right now which have to go. But I'll keep my office charger which is 2A.
Can I safely use it to charge n5?
Sent from SGH-i317m
Using chargers with a high power (A) is no problem, the phone will not "take" more than it needs.
Sorry for the poor english ^^
The issue is if charging IC can handle 2A current or not. I dying wanna fry it lol
I would think it should not be an issue while 2A ICs are widely used in our days, but "better be safe then sorry".

While AFAIK there's no 1.5A ICs, than its 99% safe to say they using 2A nominal IC.

If using a different charger was a problem they would have made the connection something other than micro USB.

Not really. Charging current depends on IC installed, not the connector itself.

From what I understand, you could use a 10A charger and still be fine. The handset will not take any more than it needs. Basically, the charger doesn't push current, the phone pulls it.

Thats correct and nothing else. No way to destroy a phone with too much A because it just takes as much it needs. The 2A on an charger is just the maximum power output. It is physical impossible to PUSH the ampere in the device.
Hey people, I just try my oem HTC m8 charger on my t-mobile Sony z3 via magnetic charging port and I swear it charging my phone at least double or three the rate then if I use the Sony oem it came with..
I also left it on stamina mode while charging the port..
Has anyone else try this?

Isn't the charger on the M8 1.5amps? The same as the charger on the Z3.
I have both, so I suppose I could use the M8 charger tonight and see...
You are probably right on the spec but I just don't know if it's a placebo effect but I figured I ask.. Also if I am right this would make this Phone so much sweeter than it already is..
I know it's supposed to charger faster by using the magnetic port but it seems faster using my HTC m8 charger instead of my Sony oem..
I figured I share see what you guys said

i got a 2.1amp samsung tab 8.4 charger with original cable, and it seems the speed of Charging goes faster than stock charger, however i woke up twice wont my battery stuck at 99% charge and it never went to 100 so stopped using it
I've got an Anker dual port charger that has a 2.0amp and 1.5 amp ports on it that I use at work.
Although, the only time I ever charge my phone is at night... And considering charging a battery slower is generally better, I wouldn't be switching to a faster charger for my uses.
Unless I was in a hurry and *needed* the extra 15% a 'quick' charger would give me.

Samsung tablet chargers are interesting. They will actually increase voltage slightly as current draw increases to compensate for cable losses.
End result is Samsung tablet chargers often charge faster than others, sometimes significantly faster.
