Thumbs up This chager charges my phone from 4% to %100 in exactly 3 hours.

So I just ordered this charger and it charged my phone from 4% to %100 percent in exactly 3 hours!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...00_i00_details

Wow, what a great improvement over stock which takes 6+ hours. This makes me believe, that even though the stock output is rated at 1000ma and this charger's output is only rated 700ma that this charges works correctly!

If you have a 1800mah battery and you charge it at a rate of .7A, it should take it exactly 2.57 hours to charge, (1800/700). With stock it should take less, because 1800/1000 = 1.8 hours, but it takes 6+ hours to fully charge! Something is f'ed up with the stock charger or phone's software...

Yeah. About that. I just got my E4GT yesterday and noticed it does charge extra slow compared to my O.G. Epic.

My wife stayed with hers, maybe I will try charging my phone on hers. I wonder if that would make a difference...

At first my charging was extremely slow but now it'll charge from 2 to 100 in under three hours

What's you TouchPad charger's output in mah? I think I might have to splice into a spare USB cable and check how much current is actually used by phone when on stock charger...pretty sure it is nowhere close to 1000mah.

According to BatteryMonitorWidget, it estimates avg mA charging at 270mA using the stock charger that came with this particular phone.

That sounds about right! I'll see if I can test this with my AMP meter tonight and tell you all for sure on stock vs new samsung charger that I've got.

Yeah, at 2000mah it should charge in less than one hour...I would say your actual charge current to be around 1200mah...
