That is because the Galaxy Note 3 also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor which has Quick Charge 2.0

Not sure how you folks are using a note 3 charger when it's usb 3.0. The note 3 charged up in 2 hours or so while the m8 takes 4+. I'd say it's due to the added power for the usb 3.0 cable?

dont be so dumb. use Note 3 charger when using HTC USB cable another thing use 1.5A or 2.0A rated chargers and nothing more than that because it will be useless.

Slightly slower then the stock HTC One.. one.



iPhone charger outputs 1amp. Stock HTC outputs 1.5amps.


Though the difference might not be that noticeable.

Tablet (or some Phablets) chargers usually output 2amps. That would make a difference to the charge time.

However, most chargers are 5v. To take full advantage of quick charge 2.0 it requires a specially made charger which delivers 9volts / 2amps.

So what's the deal guys. Is it safe to use the Samsung charger?

That's the 2.0amp one right? It heats the phone up but it charges really fast. Is that ok to use?

You can safely use a 2A or 2.1A charger. Technically you will charge a bit faster, but it probably won't be terribly noticeable.

    Can you you use the Samsung charger cable on the htc one. I've tried other chargers and I get the slow charge warning

    Not the one with the s5 but any of their earlier cables would fit our M8's.
