Samsung Galaxy S4

Anyone had issues since downloading 4.3? My phone is still working well, but no aftermarket chargers work since the update. I've tried at least six different chargers that all worked prior to the download. All the chargers I tried work with other phones. With the battery at about 10 percent I bought a charger from Sprint ($50.00 buys a lot of beer). I recall reading an article last summer about Samsung possibly programming phones to recognize only Samsung accessories.

I have the exact same problem with mine since the update.

Sent from my Galaxy S4

Mine simply stopped receiving or sending phone calls.

Solution? Hard reset...all is well now.

I did learn the chargers work after rebooting. Not a big deal when charging at home, but a PITA using a car charger.

I use an HTC charger and a no name without issue.

I use several brands of chargers and no issues. . Bummer

When you say it doesn't work what exactly do you mean? Does it not charge at all or does it charge slow? I have a Galaxy Note 3 and if I hook a different charger to it the phone advises me to use the one that came with the phone. It does this because the battery is so big it takes a more powerful charger. It will charge with other chargers but it takes a long time. I am running 4.3 on my Note btw.

Before 4.3 I could use any micro usb charger that I had around my house and work, after 4.3 the only charger that will charge the phone is the one that came with the phone. When I plug a charger in that is not Samsung nothing happens at all.
