How can be sure the cable is compatible?

I used only the cable that comes with my Original adaptors.

The max charging rate I can test now is 1.2amp based on my S4 max input. Unless I can get a phone that can take full 2-2.1amp input, then I only I can verify if the charge rate can be more than 1.2amp.

Someone mentioned abt USB amp tester kit but don't know where to get it.

go to google store download Galaxy Current Tools

It will tell you what the amps

First look at your adapter what it says for output? 1.5amps? 2amps?

if it shows 2amps and u get 1.2amps two possibility cable faulty or your phone is like note 3 need to turn off the screen to get 1.8amps

That's why trying to look for reliable and simple to use amp tester to see if the adaptor output is as stated. Using phones with input limits does not really measure the true capabilities of an adaptor.

why make life so hard?

Look at the charger max output = that will show its true capability

Then plug to your phone then run galaxy current tools if it shows 1800 mah then yes u got a 2amps charger and cable.

Thanks. So that means no difference also if I were to use iPhone's 5A charger right? The charging time will still be the same?
*
it depends on the input.

If the input is 5A it does but from what i know mi powerbank only 2A

There are 3 readings,

Reference 1200
Maximum 1900
AverageĀ  1200

I know the average current is the actual charge the phone is charging at.

Question is the maximum indicated in the app, the maximum current the phone can take or the maximum current CURRENTLY charging in (although the phone is taking only 1200 into the battery)?

It display the same for my adapters and XM PB 10.4K pb.

For 10.4k pb with output of 2.1amp, vs adaptor 2amp, the maximum amp should indicate differently if it indicate the true full charge of the adaptors.
*
seems like you are getting only 1200. I think current is the one showing charging now.

I have gone through your experiment many times.

That reading are the same no matter what I charge with, be it Samsung chargers, 10.4 xm pb or 5.2k xm pb. So I guess it does not really show the true charging rate from the cables but only show the current and max rate that the phone can take.
*
look at your charger what the output.

If charger is 2amps that means your cable is not 2amps.

With my cable i plug to powerbank, car and ori charger i get 1800

Here a screenshot using my car charger and another cable. I need it to charge at 2 amps always because I am using a note 3 if not it takes 4-5 hours to charge with 1amps.

if using while charging the battery will drop if 1amps.

QUOTE(Cavino @ Aug 4 2014, 02:53 PM)
Mm...mine is original note2 charger with the cable, taken directly from note 2 box ler.

So is my S4 charger and cable. Maybe its the phone limiting 1.2k

I have ori 2 note 2 chargers (1 comes with note2) and 2 ori S4 (1 comes with S4) charger comes all same reading.
