So I just got the GS5 yesterday, and already love it. I do my research on things before I buy them, and know my way around phones really well...except this charger thing has me confused. The person at the store that sold me the phone said one thing about the charger, and a friend that had the phone before me said something different, and I want to clear the air.
Can I use my old chargers from my GS3 with this GS5 or not? What is the purpose of the "Extended micro USB" cord??
The rep at the store told me I could not use the regular micro USB cables to charge the GS3, only to transfer data, if I want to charge it, I HAVE To use the extended micro USB that came with the phone. However, I went home and had to test her theory because my friend told me that isnt true, and it SEEMS to charge, but I dont know if continuing to do that will harm the phone or anything?
I just don't want to have to go buy a whole new slew of chargers if I am able to use my micro USB chargers instead.
Thanks in advance!
