Finding a charger for USB 3.0 speeds....

[veccster]

I purchased an Anker 3.6A turbo charger. I also bought a USB 3.0 cable. When I plug the cable into either port - Apple and non-Apple, the phone gives me a message that says "Slow Charging, To charge faster, use the the original charger".

The Apple port is 5V 2.4A.
The non-Apple port is 5V 2.0A.

HELP!!!

And what's the original charger? Probably more than 2.4A. If not, then there's probably some jumper (in the charger) that your phone needs to charge at full current. (USB speed has nothing to do with the speed the phone charges. That's determined by how much current it can draw from the charger - which is a combination of how much the charger can supply and what the phone "sees" when it's connected to the charger.)

use a micro usb cable

The original Samsung Note 3 travel adapter supplied here is 5.3V - 2.0A (Netherland).

I don't know about the volts but it's supposed to charge at 2.1A.

I don't know about the volts but it's supposed to charge at 2.1A.

The best way to understand electrical flow is think of voltage as like (water) pressure and amperage/current as rate of flow. So your anker charger is a bit deficient in pushing that current/amperage. We have to be aware more nowadays because of the wider range of battery sizes. Also, a 5.3V charger could harm a smaller battery.
