Thats a boggo 2A charger @ 5V. Adaptive fast charger has the 1.67A @ 9V spec too iirc.

I bought 2x these

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-S...401?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4194880511

Would be great to pick two up, are they genuine? I know the ad states that they are but you never know.

They won't charge your S6 as fast as the stock charger will.

Well mine arent displaying fast charging. But thinking its a phone fault.

You need to use this charger for fast charging. Its the only way.

Is that the charger your using?

 

[nightrider1470]

Nope but the listing says it does it. Must be wrong

There's your problem - using wrong charger. The listing is for a 2Amp charger.

Ebay... if it doesn't say it's genuine it isn't. If it says it's genuine, it still isn't.

Adaptive fast charging uses 1.67A 9V as well as 2A 5V- check your charger and if it doesn't output that it will not charge in fast charging mode.

Standard 2A 5V chargers are generally called fast chargers as they are faster than generic ones, that's probably why the listing said that. Unfortunately "fast charge" and "adaptive fast charge" are two different things.

So it's not the listing that's wrong, it's the fact you didn't know exactly what you were supposed to be looking for.

To be fair, it did take around 4-5 days from when Samsung received the device to them sending me an automated refund processing email. I then got the money within 1-3 days on top of that.

The update has just come out in Italy on the Vodafone network so there will be a wait.
