As the title states, the charger kicks out 1.2A which is quite cool. Wonder if it would accept 1.5A from the Sony EP850 charger?

I have a car changer thats 2A and its not an issue. So it would be fine.

But is the device taking the full 2A charge or is it being limited to 1.2A?

Usually whats written on the power supply/charger is just what it is capable of outputting. The device will only take what it needs.
Hi.
Sorry for this noobish question but I really don't have any idea if this thing is charging or not -- I have attach an image when device is powered off.. though it looks like it is charging but every time I turn the device on it says that it is not charging on status settings menu, and got that "Connect your charger" on the lock screen.
Sounds as if insufficient current.
Are you using original wall charger?

No. My sister give this to me but she forget to send the wall charger, so what I'm using is my current HTC adapter. So this is how tab works? lol. Darn. I thought chargers are all the same.
My charger (original) is rated at 2.0A
I think it does need rather high current.

you can charge it with lower current as long as you turn off your tab (just like what you are doing in the picture), but it will take at least half a day to charge it.
You can probably charge it slightly faster by connecting it to the computer with Fast Charge enabled. FWIW my Tab charges just fine with a 650ma, a 1A, and the 2A stock charger.

I purchased one of these cables at Fry's (Frys # 7673737) and when I use it with the usb plug block which came with the Note II it charges faster than the original Samsung cable. I also get higher numbers on the Galaxy Charging Current *Lite* app. It was originally $14.99, but on sale now for $4.95.
Hey there rvb1. How much higher were your numbers when using the galaxy current charging app? I am curious because I was in the market for a new cable and live within distance of Fry's. Wish I had known sooner, I already pulled the trigger, purchased, and now waiting for d.i.y. usb and micro usb connectors to fashion my own heavy gauge, high current cables. A few of them I will make for charging only (data ports bridged within plug) because I have another charger or two (non-samsung) that will not charge at high rate unless the data ports are bridged. Until now, I have been using a usb adapter that I made to do so. Anyway, good find and at a good price.....
With Cygnet I get maximum 1800. With the original Samsung cord I get 1300.

Anyone that understands the whole wiring and power in cables; why is that if the charger is 2.1 amps, why does it not fully hit that or am I mis understanding the concept. I know different USB cables will vary.

It may have something to do with the overall supply of power to the outlets. As in the wiring through the house. I think that's the only other legitimate option as to why we can't get the whole 2.1. Or maybe even the hp concept for cars. Maybe have 300 hp rating but after output and everything you're at 275. Just my 2 cents

Reason for the whole horsepower deal in cars it's simply the fact that at the crank or the flywheel it will make all that power it just loses the power going through the hole the whole engine to the actual wheels I can go further in detail into that but its not necessary

Was on my way to the store to buy a charger no rep was available to assist me so I started playing with the s5 demo phone and noticed they were charging it with a USB 2.0 so basically they're lack of service saved me 25$. Thanks At&t
I noticed this the other night. I also noticed that the supplied 3.0 cord would not work with an old usb wall charger

yeh no doubt, I can't believe how fast this thing charges. My i777 was so slow to charge full, maybe 3-4 hours? S5 is like just over an hour or so to 100%, much faster then even our iPhones which were only a little quicker than i777. I thought i remember someone saying on older Androids Sammy and others like capped the current or something, at least on the i777 and other Sammy phones that's what people were saying, which is why it was so slow to charge even on a wall charger as it was capped too. Not sure of the truth there, but USB 3 and S5 is blazing fast charging for a 2800mh battery.

This is only on laptop's that have USB 3.0.
If you have a 2 amp charger it will charge it at 2 amps regardless of connector.
I am using my note 10.1 2014 2 amp charger, charges just fine and just as fast.

Is it? I couldn't find it in my searching the webs. I seem to be a pretty pathetic researcher because even all my searches for Amazon and forums, all I could find was articles saying there is a separate charger which supports Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0, but no link in them
Can anyone help me (if it's released at all) by giving me an amazon link for it? Thanks

You might want to have a go at reading yourself.
It means it is the same shape as the original charger. The charger in the link is 7.5w which is higher than the 5w that the charger in the box has hence the reason it is called a 'fast charger' and not just called a 'charger'
See photo of the charger that came with the phone.

The problem is the website. It's not advertising very well. It leads you to believe it's a "new" product yet says it's the same one as comes in box.
Very confusing. I certainly would not rush to order until it's confirmed this is indeed the Quick Charge 2.0 variant were waiting for.
Irritatingly it doesn't state the voltage or amps output. We'd know for sure then. I would expect the Quick Charge 2.0 charger to have s higher wattage to be honest.

HTC is on record stating that it's not merely a matter of the quick charge 2.0 adapter but also a software patch that will come "later this year". So even if you managed to obtain a suitable charger from Japan or Taiwan it would just charge at normal speed until HTC releases or leaks the patch.

Higher current chargers will charge faster regardless of patch. That's basic electrical principles.
However to take advantage of Quick Charge 2.0 which is a feature built in to the handset and the charger will require a software patch.

Again read the title, it is a 7.5w charger and the one that comes with the phone is 5w, now I'm sure you know the difference between the two.

It does have a higher wattage, 7.5w compared to the 5w in our chargers.

Higher then 7.5w.
Straight from the mouth of the horse that created the technology.

"Products with Quick Charge 2.0 can charge up to 75 percent faster than products without the technology. While Quick Charge 1.0 technology, with about 10 watts of power, was designed primarily for smartphones and tablets, Quick Charge 2.0 delivers up to 60 watts, not only improving charge times for smartphones and tablets, but adding support for larger mobile computing devices like slim notebooks."
Sounds like a Quick Charge 1.0 to me.

W = V * A
Watt = Volt * Amperage
The charger in the box I got (and on the screenshot poster earlier) produces 5V 1.5A ->
5 * 1.5 = 7.5
In other words, the one in the box already is 7.5W, and the one advertised on the website posted earlier is exactly the same!
Chargers which output more Amperage (2.0A for instance) charge the device faster.
These chargers include but are not limited to indeed the Blackberry Playbook Charger, Samsung chargers and a LOT of off-market chargers.
The Quickcharge 2.0 standard can charge even faster than these chargers, but as has been mentioned a lot of times, they are not out yet, and even if they were we would still need the software update from HTC

*applauds* finally someone else that understands! Was beginning to think I was alone xD
Not sure where GTCC was getting 5w from to be honest, probably confusing watts and volts as the in the box charger is 5v @ 1.5a.
Honestly think that website is just playing a game to sell more chargers by advertising the watts value, something which is not normally advertised over volts and amps.
