Just as the question reads. I have been using a note 2 charger for my s4. Is it safe to use or are the voltages different?

its safe to use any oem charger...:good:
just check the output volt.
the s4 charger output volt is 2.0A / 2000mAh...
so just check that coz if its lower then it will take long time to charge phone

The Note 2 and S4 chargers are identical, so yes, it's absolutely safe to use and it will charge in exactly the same amount of time.

I'm sure Samsung has a reason for limiting the charging speed. They did not sit around a round table thinking "Hey.... let's limit the charging speed so they .... have to ... wait longer!!! BWAHAHAHA."
I'm not an engineer, I don't know what would happen. But they do know.

Its says unofficial USB , Sammy does know ,but unofficial ones don't allow full speed charging to their Max capabilities. That's what this mod is for.

Ohhhh, I feel dumb. I read it as giving chargers in general more juice to charge with. Cool mod then, nice find.
How does this compare with the wall charger that comes with the skyrocket?

This is just for non Sammy chargers that don't allow the Max output to your device., so therefore not much difference between Sammy charger(after mod).

Cool beans. I wonder if this would also fix the "stats stuck at 100%" bug that people (myself included) were having when they used non-Samsung chargers.
ok so I got the skyrocket i727
I have this charger :Amazon.com: PowerGen Dual USB 3.1A 15w Travel Wall Charger with Swivel plug for Apple iPad 2, New iPad 3, iPhone 5 4s 4 3 3Gs, Amazon Kindle Fire HD DX KeyBoard, Samsung Galaxy Tab (USB Cable NOT included) - BLACK: MP3 Players & Accessories
and this cable: Amazon.com: AmazonBasics USB Cable - 2.0 A Male to Micro B (6 Feet / 1.8 Meters): Electronics
with those I get 0.04 amps to 0.07 amps
using the powergen with stock cable I stick at 0.06 amps
stock cord and charger get me 0.02 amp to 0.04 amps
stock charger with amazon cord I get 0.02 amps to 0.07 amps.
turning the phone off seems to make no difference what so ever. in fact sometimes worse, I tried flashing stock 4.1.2and it helped a little then it boot loops
I have no problems running cynogenmod and it never did this before on cynagenmod
whats going on? I tried 2 different OEM batteries
same amp rates nothing different

the official OEM Galaxy S4 Spare Battery Charging System is now in stock!
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-K600BUWESTA
used with the 50% coupon for registering your device, $25 isn't a bad price for this charger and extra battery!
:good:
Thanks! Have been waiting for this to be in stock!

Friend of mine actually just got a spare one of these that I'll get the pleasure to use. I'm definitely stoked.

Been waiting forever for this to get in stock. I ordered a spare OEM charger too. Unforunately they were out of the 2.0 MHL adapters but I'm sure some ebay ones will work just fine.
Appreciate the heads up!
now you let the dogs at it.
lol actually if you followed the 50% off thread it was back in stock over 1 week ago, in fact mine came this past tuesday!
Yeah I started that thread ha. I ordered it but it never went through. It went OOS add soon as I ordered it so it never went through.

look at the 50% off thread. register your s4 and receive a 50% off coupon via email good for 5 products but those have to be under 49.99, free ground shipping if you spend 49.99 or more otherwise it's $3.95 via post office.
Got mine a few days ago, does anyone know if it's best to leave the spare battery in the charger until it's time to swap out or to remove it once it's charged?

Tried both ways over the last few days, seems like letting it stay in the charger actually is more effective.. Will keep trying both ways to be sure however

With my old HTC Incredible I used to leave them in till I swapped out, but those were aftermarket batteries and charger.. I guess I'll heed your advice however, don't want to destroy a 30 dollar battery

i just tried to order it and its on back order . Anyone else placed a back order before on the samsung site? Is the new stock coming in pretty quick?
Don't bother with their notification system. It won't notify you when it is back in stock. Looks like it's about every two weeks or so when stock comes in and sells out within a day.

Wish they were on stock. I really need a spare battery. Actually having to charge my phone is annoying.

Well simply try the stock charge included with the phone. Should be simple enough to trouble shoot from there .
So far i've just used the one included and the HTC charger that came with my One X+, neither get my phone any more warm then it would be when charging. Never Hot though...

Ok. I'm curious what it is. Mine gets warm while charging. Warm enough I may go take it for an exchange.
How many amps is the charger? The higher the amps the more juice it's pushing and hence the higher temps.

I am using the bundled charger right now and am at 90 degrees according to GSAM battery monitor. Been on the charger for about an hour.
