Charging question

I have an aftermarket AC (wall) charger that has two ports. One is 1 amp the other is 2.1 amps. The 2.1 amp charges my wife's GS4 fine and charged my old GS3 fine, but will not charge the GS5. the 1 amp port does charge the GS5. What is going on? Any recommendations on a two port (prefer both be 2 amp) a/c charger?

I wouldn't buy anything charger wise that isn't oem.
The things are all over ebay, just make sure it is oem. I have bought a few, and it was $20 or so dollars well spent to cover car home work and spares.
You could also just go to any major hotel chain and say you left your charger in a room. Easy to say you met a friend if they ask for your information. Then you will usually be brought to a closet or presented with a box of chargers. Take your pick.

I am looking for a dual charger. So that when my wife and I travel, we can both plug in.

If it is not oem, do so at your peril.
Even from the manufacturer oem there are differences.
For instance, my stock in the box oem samsung charger is madebin Vietnam and weighs 1.475 oz. One of my oem replacements is made in China, weighs 1.28oz. They both work identically, charge at same current and speed from 5% to 100%.....
However the chinese made charger gets a bit hotter/warmer than the oem Vietnam made one.

Lost my charger. Where can I buy?

Was on thanksgiving vacation and just lost my Samsung charger for the edge. Where can I buy an original Samsung rapid charger?
I only see the travel charger on their website. Thanks

Probably eBay or Amazon.

I only see chargers from S. Korea, and with non standard wall plugs. Samsung need to get their act together. As much as I despise iphones. At least when they release a phone, accessories and cables are always readily available at their online and retail store.
Now I have no idea where to go to buy an original Samsung charger. it's not available on their website or with ATT/T-Mobile. This is pretty rediculous.

You can use any descent micro usb cable and a 2.1a charger (or better). I have tested mine on a HP touchpad charger, fleabay 2.1a ac chargers ... I even charged my Edge with an ipad 2 charger + my own micro usb cable this morning at work (charged really quickly).

Search eBay, I just did a search and found s bunch of them. Use the term below to do your search.
Samsung Note Edge oem charger

I really wanted the original adaptive fast charger with Qualcomm quick charge 2.0 specs.
I can't tell from eBay if these are just samsung travel charger or the charger with the fast charging specs they heavily promoted
It's just really stupid samsung makes us jump through hoops. I think they literally want us to buy another phone to get a charger. It's nowhere on their website at all.
I ended up buying a tenergy with quick charge 2.0 specs On amazon.
Thanks for everyone suggestion

From what I know the note 4 uses the same charger doesn't it? Might aswell try to find one of those.

wireless charging station?

Anyone know of a wireless charging station that'll work with the idol 3?

The Idol 3 isn't compatible with wireless charging, howerver, you can install a hardware Module that will allow it to charge with a wireless charge pad, they cost around $14 on Amazon, im working on that, if I succeed ill make a post.

Sounds good keep me posted!!

I just got an Idol 3 and wanted to enable wireless qi charging as well. I was going to order a qi receiver that plugs into the USB charging port but the port is off to one side, unlike an iPhone 6 and Samsung s4

I've seen them for sale IN the shop. They (Huawei) also had a Facebook Xmas campaign where they gave hundreds away for free (I missed it by 1 day).

eBay. Aliexpress. Maybe Amazon?
There is nothing "similar." It HAS to be Huawei's charger and cable for SuperCharge to work.

Yup purple markings. Theres some on ebay but idk if i trust them.

(First Post)
just ordered 3 USB-c from ali, going to see if they supercharge.
ordered 5 Anker USB-C cables 3x3ft, 2x6ft (have 0 usb devices) and none of them supercharge. it seems only the white and purple cable will supercharge!!
anyone know where to get another charger? im in talks with Huawei about chargers but they wont sell one seperatly.
"Regarding your last questions, you could buy another supercharger, but Huawei does not sell the products and accessories directly to end-users. As such, you will have to contact local or only retailers and purchase a 4.5 V / 5 A charger that is designed for the European region and is CE certified."
which i find frustrating cos i want to supercharge but i want to have a few chargers kicking about.

They won't sell you one DIRECTLY, that's what they're saying. You need to buy from a retailer. My local Mediamarkt sells them.

hola,
we (uk) dont have a media markt, and i cant find anywhere that sells superchargers.
although im going to germany in may, i know they have MM, so if anyone knows where to get them on the german website that would be much appreciated!
if anyone knows where to get one from in the UK that would be awesome.

Just charge it at night like I do. I leave it plugged at nights..

I would just ask Huawei for the list of authorized retailers in your country and then place an order with one of them.
For example my local Mediamarkt doesn't have them readily available but they're more than happy to place an order if I want. Same goes for the smartcover.

AM in the UK also I have asked Huawei about the charger and the response was check a retailer when i told them none of the retailers dont have any there response was we dont sell directly to customers.
Pretty poor when other OEM have chargers available

Any new information where i can buy Super Charge Charger or other compatible Charger?

I use my Nintendo Switch wall charger and car charger for my Mate 9. Both work flawlessly

The USB C to USB C cable that Google sells for the pixel works to supercharge. It worked for me with an Anker USB C PD charger that has 4 other USB A ports in it too I purchased the charger and cable to use with my chromebook pixel LS and plugged in my mate 9 on a whim... Io and behold two lightening bolts appeared and the phone charged at the crazy speeds of supercharge too!

Please give me a link to that cabels.

There's a difference between "fast charging" and "supercharge". I have a charger that will "fast charge" the M9, which still gives two lightning bolts, but it says "fast charging" rather than "supercharge". What does it say when you plug it in? I'm skeptical that it's actually supercharging. IIRC, fast charging shows two different sized lighting bolts, while supercharge shows two of the same size bolts (but my perception may have been off). My "fast charging" charger will charge the phone pretty fast, but not quite as fast as the original supercharge charger. And it seems that it does it with more heat in the phone than the supercharge charger.

BEWARE: Counterfeit "stock" 6P chargers

It looks like there are a batch of counterfeit OEM 6P 5v fast chargers.
I have ordered from different sellers, both on Ebay and Amazon. In both cases, they were inoperable right out of the packaging. Also in both cases, the sellers immediately chose to refund despite my request for a replacement. Very shady..

Just to add, I contacted Huewei support and they have confirmed that they do not have any OEM chargers available to purchase.

I found a good OEM charger for the Nexus 6P, it works flawlessly, even with fast charge.

Mine quickcharges like a boss

I bought this one (below) from Amazon. Paid a little more for it, but it fast charges my 6P, my wife's Le Pro3, my daughter's iPhone, and anything else I've connected to it so far. With multiple ports, I only use 1 wall plug instead of many.

Has anyone used a current testing app to verify you are actually "fast charging," I'd be interested to see the actual amperage results based on charger type. My understanding is that the official Huewei charger was proprietary to the device and other chargers will not provide true fast charging speeds..
