Worked with the Samsung S2 but not my new S5. Is there a special cable I can use to charge the S5?

Not exactly. Any USB-A to USB micro B cable will work. Some of those cables can be used to both charge and transfer data; those will charge slower than cables designated for charging only.

I think you need something extra (the S3 does not support Qi charging by default). A quick search revealed this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Standard-Wireless-Charging-Receiver/dp/B00BCC2B1Q, but you might find something else that works better for you.

I just got mine today and I ordered the 2nd picture white has Samsung stamped on it. I only got a cable no wall charger. It works in the Galaxy S5. I plugged it in and it made the charging connecting sound and all is working good. The cable that came with my phone stopped working two days ago.

You need the kind that will charge a Samsung phone. If you look up samsung phone charging cable, you'll have the right one.

From CNet review "What is a little different is the USB housing on the bottom of the phone. Like the Galaxy Note 3, the S5 now features the elongated USB 3.0 port, which is backward-compatible with standard micro-USB cables. In other words, you can still charge the phone with legacy USB cables, but it'll really juice up quickly with the compound USB 3.0 cable Samsung supplies."

The Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 both are able to charge via the standard Micro USB charger as well. They will both dock perfectly to the Micro USB connector. It will work just the same.

Unfortunately the answer is no, it's not meant for the S5. The plug on the cable is the first problem, the S5 uses a new dual mini USB 3.0 plug and while it can charge from the standard USB mini plug it will sit off center of the stand and with the S5's plug cover on the bottom it won't sit properly on the stand. It's a shame cuz I really liked the stand (when I was using it on my previous phone). Hope this helps

Fully compatible with the Galaxy S5. The left side of the USB 3.0 port on the GS5 is a MicroUSB connection and can charge just fine. Even beyond that, you can connect the standard end USB end of your USB 3.0 cord in to the Magicstick to charge. We've tested this compatibility extensively in our facilities.

Im no expert however I have the original cable from when I purchased the S5 and this cable they are identical .. the length is approx 5 ft .. and the same quality as the one that came with the S5. it even says samsung so I believe its an original cable . it works!

Well, It charges via MicroUSB, so it's implied that the charging cable coming with it works for the S6, and any device using MicroUSB. It's a Universal Serial Bus for a reason.

Yes, these work perfectly for the Galaxy S5 Smartphone. The charging cable is custom made using original Samsung parts to work for Samsung Galaxy S5. Samsung Galaxy S5 uses USB 3.0 connector - which is what has been used to manufacture this premium quality cable. We have tested these as well with the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone to make sure that they work perfectly with Galaxy S5. Thanks for your inquiry. - CrazyOnDigital

The charger does but not the cables. They are the new usb 3.0 that only works with the S5 and the note 3.

The charger supports 100-240V, and I am not sure if it is compatible with the Galaxy S2. My guess would be it will work, since it works with the Galaxy S3 and S4.

Your Samsung Galaxy S5 should charge fine on the 2.1A port, as well as a 1A port. My iPhone 4 charges and works well with either. The voltage is the same. The difference is the amount of power (amperage) available to power devices.

The cable does NOT charge my Samsung Galaxy S4. It works as stated for data transfers and periferals like a mouse or keyboard but the external power appears to be only for the device you plug in. Incidentally, I could only read external hard drives that were in FAT32 format.

Just got this and it is a micro-USB 2.0 cable, not a 3.0. The micro 2.0 will plug into the micro USB 3.0 on the Galaxy S5.
