This product feels nice and solid. It has an attractive matte finish (at least on the black model I received) with glossy ends. Measuring about 3 1/2''x 2 1/4'' x 1'' it is around the size of a deck of cards (a bit smaller but thicker than the deck I had). I have uploaded a video for you to see. My apologies in advance for the poor quality but you should be able to get a good look at it.

Setting this up couldn't be easier, it is truly the definition of plug and play. Unpack, plug in power cord to unit and wall, and away you go.

What really caught my interest and impressed me, was their so called, "Smart Port Technology". At first glance it sounds like a baseless marketing gimmick that we see all to often. Each port has a dedicated microchip that detects each device's USB pin signals and dynamically adapts the amperage output accordingly, so the device will charge at full speed and you don't need to worry about damaging the device.

This product also comes with an 18 month warranty.

In conclusion,

The device itself is pleasant looking and matches well with the modern feel of my computer area.

I was expecting something large and clunky that would take up a lot of room, but as you can see the device is nice and sleek and really only the size of a deck of cards.

Like other Anker products I own, this is sturdy and well built.

It is also easy to use and comes with a fairly long warranty. I haven't had to deal with a bad product, but I hear Anker customer service is very easy to deal with in case an issue should arise.

As I explained above, the "Smart Port" technology really makes charging a whole fleet of devices a breeze!

Sorry man, but the one you reviewed is not 25W version with smart ports, its 40W version. I reviewed both 25W and 40W here in the forum recently, 40W: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608578

Good video review, but make sure you correct the title to 40W, not 25W (my review here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2436439). Since they are in the same 5-port class, Anker listed it on amazon under the same listing where you click to select 25W or 40W version. Maybe that's where the confusion came from?

Either way, I wouldn't even bother looking into 25W (5A) version with fixed ports when you can get 40W (8A) version with 5 smart ports (up to 2.4A per port to charge even the latest retina iPad).
[General Accessories] A1will:
Good catch, I just copy pasta the title from amazon.
[General Accessories] pcharouz:
Any chance you could actually test the output with a 12w ipad? I just got a new anker astro3, and it only charger at 2.1, not a 2.4amp

Easiest way to test it is to download "batterylife"(free) in cydia, or time charging the default charger compared to the anker.

Thank you! It is advertised everywhere as 2.4amp, but it seems like they do not have that feature!
[General Accessories] vectron:
Sorry, I don't have any apple devices. But I remember reading replies to my reviews on AndroidForums (I mirror my reviews in XDA and AF) where someone tested and verified 2nd gen Anker external batteries to charge latest iPad at full speed. I also remember reading comments on Amazon as well. This 40W should be able to do that as well. Are you sure there is no problem with your usb cable? That could be a bottleneck. Or perhaps if you have multiple devices charging, the total current can't exceed the max value so it could current-limit the port.
[General Accessories] pcharouz:
Yes, many reviews mention 2.4amp charging, but no one actually tests it... This is very frustrating since i have bought it because of this feature.

Here is an email from anker:

"

Dear *****,

Thank you for writing back.

Kindly please be assured it is normal that this external battery charge your iPad at 2.1amp. Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions or concerns, we will be glad to assist you.

Thank you and great day!"
[General Accessories] vectron:
I don't know what to tell you bud. I would have verified it for you gladly, but I don't have iPad 4. I know they (anker) are typically very specific about their spec and offer 18-month warranty and a top notch support.

Don't rely solely on app to tell you about current draw. For example with my Note 2 (or any S4, N3, etc.) you can get a free Galaxy Current app and it always shows 1.8A charging as max while I'm using 2A charger and actually timed the charging to be very close to 2A.

I assume you already timed your charging from a trusted wall charger and the same usb cable used between wall charger and Anker charger on iPad starting from some fixed discharged %? Another test, use one of these gadgets (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451375) which is not necessary accurate because it draws it's own current, but you can compare how much current is drawn from your original apple charger versus anker charger. That charging doctor is great for relative comparison analysis.

Another thing that I read from a few of the people in different forums, iPad 4 with its 2.4A requirement is very particular that it won't even charge from a typical 2A charger because it doesn't draw enough current. So the fact that you are actually able to charge your iPad 4 from anker 40W charger indicates that it provides more than 2A of current.

Testing Results:Charging Current

Hi guys, i thought i should post this up.Below are my results of testing the anker 40W charger with my galaxy note 10.1 (n8000) tablet. Unfortunately Im not receiving full speed charging as promised by Anker.

With the screen turned on,

Anker 40W, 2A charger = 0.7A

Original Samsung 2.1A charger = 1.2A

With the screen turned off (screen was left off for 1min and then turned on to take screenshot)

Anker 40W, 2A charger = 1.2A

Original Samsung 2.1A charger = 1.7A

Anyone getting similar results? Or did i get a bad copy? I've just contacted Anker, and am now waiting for a reply.

Hi guys,

Like you can see in the image attached I have a lot of wakelock by Android OS (and also from 1013 and audiomix but I asked to this question here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49588961 )... I was wondering to myself but if I deactivated keep awake and position in the app Ops I will made some damages? I read somewhere in the forum that someone made this and the phone worked good! I'm satisfied with my battery life... I reach the entire day with 4 hours of sot but the phone is kept awake by something and I feel that I can have better battery life!

Every advice is accepted!

EDIT: For GB Mod display i found that is a wakelock by gravity box...i activated the last screen feature for lockscreen and probably this was the problem! However my main question is still on the thread...if i deactivate keep awake and position to Android System i will made damages? I read somewhere that probably not! But i'm asking because maybe one of you can have better answers to my doubt! Oh and also if you can help on audiomix in the other thread!

I've got a problem that I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing.

I am running TomTom using a bluetooth gps receiver (instructions found on this site to get the damn thing to work in the first place, much appreciated). When this is all I am doing, everything is great, really fast, smooth. As I do a lot of long journeys, I notice that the position update starts slowing down the further I go, but this is still fine.

When I turn on my headset, I start to get a serious lag between my true position and where TomTom is reporting I am (I know which one to trust though, so I don't turn off the motorway a mile too late :wink: ). The starts slight, but then gets really stupid really quickly, resulting in the map being a mile or more out after a minute or two.

I have scoured this and other sites to see if anyone else is getting this problem and have so far found nothing. I have reverted to using a wire until I can get this solved.

The sound ports through to the headset fine, I can make calls, voice command works (most of the time). The headset is a BlueTrek G2, the GPS receiver I am not sure of as it came with no make or model number from eBay.

Could it be a memory issue? I generally have about 15MB program memory free. TT does drop out every once in a while but not in any pattern, whereas the lag issue always happens as soon as I connect the headset. Could it be the BT devices are operating on the same frequency (I have no idea if this is a rubbish suggestion, just something I thought of)

Does anyone know about this? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I will be tied to my phone while driving.

TIA!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
Been trying for hours now to try and sort out an issue I am having. My S4 is damaged, the phone works but the screen and digitizer is broken. I want to check a few sms messages, access and control the phone from my PC and basically make a complete clone/image of my phone. I cannot for the life of my figure out how to do this.

I use windows 7, I have installed SDK tools, have ADB/fastbook etc. Device isn't found with ADB. Spent hours reading information about installing correct drivers, which I have done. No luck what so ever. The phone is not rooted, developers tools is not on, usb debugging is not on either.

I am starting to think this is a lost battle as I cannot sort this out.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
Bump.

Anyone? Is there no way to solve this problem? Tearing my hair out.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Best bet (given ADB doesn't work) would be to root the phone & get a custom recovery on (via Odin; this is might be very difficult if you can't somehow have the phone & PC recognise each other - you don't need to have had debugging on though) then do a nandroid backup (someone using the same recovery/version might be able to walk you through the button presses.

What S4 variant (model number) are we talking about ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
GT-I9505 is the model number that is displayed behind the battery. The screen is broke and so is the touchscreen (completely black). I tried to figure out via ODIN but that wouldn't recognise the phone either. I assumed you'd need to boot in recovery/download mode but because I cannot see anything on screen, when I do the volume down, home and power thing I do not know what to do next so the phone boots up normally. I know this because I have unread SMS and when phone loads my SMS tone goes off.

Really not sure how to get around this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You're going to have to get it into DL mode somehow (don't need to use home button on S4, just vol down/power); try a jig. Once you've done that, then you need to get the phone & PC to recognise each other. If you're having problems with that, prepare to continue to do a lot more reading/trying stuff if you're having PC-side driver issues (there's a lot of threads on here re: the issue). There's also an 'Odin troubleshooting' guide in S2 General by Hopper8 which is worth looking at as much of the stuff he suggests also holds true for the S4 (except the firmware stuff, which is obviously different).

There's not going to be any quick & easy in this instance, I'm afraid. It's going to be hard work.

Edit - Also..USB board/port on the phone might also be damaged, so when you reach the point of having tried everything on the PC-side & everything you can possibly try on the phone-side, replace the USB board/port on the phone. This is quick/easy/cheap (<US$20) to do & might just enable you to get things done where everything else has failed.

Extra edit - And...A jig working (getting you into DL mode) or not is probably a good test of whether the USB board/port on the phone is still good; I.E if the jig works, the board/port is probably still good, if it doesn't, the board/port might be shot as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
The USB is fine because when I plug the phone in when in normal boot it recognises the data storage. I will try to boot in DL mode. Are there any gestures my S4 will do when booting in DL? Vibrations? As I cannot see anything on screen that will indicate it's worked. I think that once I can get the phone to work with ODIN/ADB I will be good to go as I am relatively tech savvy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Nope. You're going to by flying blind so far as having no screen/no vibrations in DL mode goes. You're going to be relying on the jig working, and once you hook it up to the PC & fire up Odin, you'll know straight away whether you've got a successful connection up & running (as screenshots in the many Odin guides on here will show you).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
I see, will just have to keep trying.

So on the S4 it's hold power and volume up, then wait? or do I need to press anything else afterwards? Or is it power and volume down?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboH:
