what is the fastest charger available? either wired or wireless
IMO the stock charger is pretty good. Wired is always going to be better because there is a conversion loss with wireless. You could try getting a 2amp charger and see how that goes. Idk if the phone would limit the charging rate or not.

I'm pretty sure that the phone limits the rate. I use the 2 amp charger that came with my GS4 and it charges at exactly the same rate as the 1.2 amp (I believe) charger that came with the N5.

This is correct. Input current is limited to 1.2A, wired and wireless.

I heard there is a difference between car charger. Some charge faster than others. I just bought one off ebay for 5 bucks. Damn thing charges maybe 10% after 30 minutes in my car. My nokia n95 car charger changed the phone from dead to full in 45 minutes and that battery lasted the same if not longer than the nexus one.
Also which phone dock should I buy, now that you can't buy a google/htc dock. I want one that is visually appealing.
This Motorola charger has been great. I can't remember how much its rated, but I think around 850mH.

You can still purchase a google/htc dock here and apparently they have cases too, which I've never seen..

Use this one too and love it
i use Griffin's. it has 2 usb, so it's good for charging my ipod and n1 at the same time. the bad side is, i think it don't have enough energy to charge my n1. it only slows the batt consumption. i use it a lot when i go for travels because i use my n1 as gps.
It makes sense to get the official N1 car dock. It's a sweet dock that can also be used to plug the charger directly into the phone.
I love my N1 car dock use it as a GPS and mp3 player. Charges ok while I'm drive and using all the features.

Is it ok to use a car charger rated at 1.2 amps? Do we need exactly 1 amp or 960 m amp?

The phone draws whatever it wants. The rating on the charger just says what the charger is capable of outputting. The official nexus car dock, for example, uses a cigarette lighter adapter which is rated for 2 amps while a usb cable plugged into your computer is only rated for 500ma.
The problem with buying 1A car chargers is that the phone may not know how much it can draw and will default to taking just 500ma. Every charger has some sort of way of telling the phone what it can supply, such as shorting out the 2 signal pins or putting a resistor between them. every manufacturer has it's own standard and it's a guessing game as to whether it will pull 1A or 500ma. Iphones, for example, will not draw any current at all unless it sees the exact set of resistances across the 2 signal and ground pins which is just silly.

Hi
I'm having a problem with charging my HTC devices on my Honda Fireblade.
My motorcycle dealer added a cigaretlighter so I can charge the HTC while driving and using it as GPS.
The problem is that the Sensation (and even my Desire HD or HD2) won't charge although the indicator light on the charger is on. So I've tested the charger with other equiment and it works.
Does anyone knows what can be the problem? The battery of the Honda is 12V
thx for any advise!
What is the charger output?
It should have 5V and 1A or 2A. If voltage lower, it will not charge..

I bought this charger when I was on a trip and it's original for nokia
He's right, your charger probably doesn't have enough output. I noticed that certain house chargers I already had were charging the phone extremely slow and others charged the phone quickly. That's when I noticed that the ones that charged the phone quickly were 5v and had at least 1A. The ones that were less were too low of an output to charge the phone properly. You're more than likely experiencing the same thing. I'm willing to bet if you check what the output is on the charger you're using you'll probably see it either isn't the right voltage or the amps are too low...or both.

All right, I'll check it first....it's in the car now
The nokia charger is
input 12 V
output 5V - 550mA
So you guys are right....it still doesn't explain to me why the charger works in car and not on motorcycle. Maybe because the battery output in car is higher A?
I'm not into electrical stuff :-(
So, if I order for example this one....it could work on my motorbike?

Bear in mind I'm just speculating with this but your car's cigarette lighter may be putting out more power than your motorcycle's (especially since it wasn't original). Also though it may have been charging in your car, that doesn't mean it was charging at the rate it should have been (it might have been barely charging). Sort of like what I was saying I had experienced when I used a lower output charger (the really slow charging).
Yeah that looks ok. I'd imagine that you be sufficient.
The charger I have is a Nokia DC-4. Bought from Nokia themselves as lots of shops sell copies. The copies don't seem to have the right electronics in them to power the more expensive (read: power hungry) phones. I have to have a converter on the end to go to micro-usb (also a Nokia part) but it means we can also use it for the wife's Nokia.
I'd make sure you went genuine part, or at least one that someone else says works.

It should be working. But better you try it first, borrow from a friend that have this charger and try it on your motobike. If still not working. My conclusion is that your motobike most probabily produce a low voltage or current than what it were suppose to.

hello
My stock charger is us for galaxy s4 (samsung regular charger)
and then I found this (link above) with 2.1A
is it matter charging via 2.1A and not 2A? what is the different? it will charge faster/slower?
thanks
In Stock kernel there is current limit 1.9A. So everything above it, will be the same as 1.9A.
In reality, you will find that even 2.1A charger doesn't supply even 1.9A. Chinese charges definitely don't supply current thay claim. And beware of them - you may fry your device by such cheap charger.
Also, it heavily depends on USB cable as well. It has to be very short and very thick.
I have a Mediabridge car adapter that has a 2.1 amp charger on it. When I charge my S4 with it it barely charges faster than the 1 amp charger does. I think it charges at either 1.3 or 1.7 amps, sorry can't remember exactly.

How do you measure the exact amperage that it charges at?

I don't have the equipment to measure it exactly. So what I did was charge my phone from 50% for 40 minutes on my stock Samsung wall charger and then recorder the percentage it increased. I then took that number and assumed it was charging at 2 amps and used it as a baseline. Then I did the same test with my car adapter and recorded the results. The I figured out the percentage difference and came up with me estimates. I just don't have the data in front of me anymore but I remembered it being somewhere between 1.3 or 1.7.

Chargers, power supplies, etc, don't "decide" the amps that go to a device - the device "draws" a certain amount. Just because a lamp is plugged into a 20amp circuit in your home doesn't mean 20 amps are going to be shoved through the bulb.
So if, as sorg says, the phone is only going to "ask" for 1.9a, you could plug it into a 5 amp charger and it would make no difference.

You already got your answer above.
No, your phone will NEVER charge faster than 1900 until a developer comes along and figures out how to hack the system to allow this. And it would be a potentiallly STUPID idea to charge faster than Samsung has deemed safe.
Go here to find out how to test your charging rate:

fast charge is generally a feature that needs to be built into a custom kernel
Don't know about you but my S5 chargers incredibly fast compared to my SIII and Nexus 7. Even with fast charge on.
Agree, my S5 charges at 1.2A given a charger capable of this, and that is fast.

Yes, the S5 charges at 2amp. (Kernel reports 1800mah)
If your phone is reporting that it charges any slower than that, it's an energy deficiency of the charger supply, bad cable, or bad micro usb connection.
I use an app which reports charging current. With a standard micro usb cable i never morw than 1200 mA (and about 450 mA from a PC/mac usb plug)
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
While it's true that the phone ships with a 2A charger, the charging current does not exceed 1.2A AFAIK.
Gotta love MicroUSB 3.0.
It already charges from under 10% to 100% in a mere 2 something hours (bundled charger and USB 3 cable). You want something much faster than that???

Yes I think in the end it is something around this current. What the apps report is more "charging in 1800mA mode" and not really charging with continous/real 1800mA. If you like to know more exactly what the current is you may write down time/percentage values for e.g. every 5% of battery power starting with an nearly empty battery. Then you can draw an line of the effective loading current.
With the original charger you should be able to get stable 1800mA but if the loading circuit of the S5 really goes this high I did not check.
I believe it peaks at 1800mah with the screen off. It is 1200 mah limited when screen is on.
Sorry to awaken this post.
As most of you, my S5 reported charging at stable 1200 mA with wall charger, probably 1800mA when turned off.
But, I can say a custom rom unleash battery charging in the same conditions as stock rom. I get stable 1800 mA with LineageOS, even screen on, with original charger and usb 2 or usb 3 cable.

It's not like the charger "pushes" current into your phone, but rather how much current the charger is able to provide if a device tries to "pull" that amount of energy from the charger. A charger rated at wrong(to high) voltage will on the other hand damage your device.
