If that statement above is true, then my reputed 2.1 Amp car USB charger
could only be sourcing 500 mA to the Galaxy S3.

Here is another reference that intimates that a standard USB cable
under all conditions only allows 500mA to go into the Samsung Galaxy S3:

"With a standard USB data cable the phone recognizes it as a USB charging
source and only pulls 500 mA. You can get "charging only" cables allowing
higher (still safe) amperage"
