2.1 amp sony xperia S
Heyyo,
Actually? The Sony Xperia S does support 2Amps on 5Volts. I remember before there was talks about it, but it required a specialized charger that wasn't shipped with the phone. The phone came with an EP800 charger, not the fast charging EP850.
Found it:
From what it says? The Xperia S accepts 1.5 Amps as a maximum charge rate. You do need a specialized cable that can handle 2Amps on 5Volts btw. A user on the XDA forums recommended this cable:

I myself use a 28/24 AWG cable with a ferrite core and gold plated tips for the fastest charging possible.

It's a dirt cheap cable price compared to the overpriced & under-performing ones you'll find at a local electronics shop. Those tend to only do about 1 Amp.
Using that monoprice cable? My HTC One M7 draws around 2 Amps. For example, using the stock cable on a 2.1A charger? Watching YouTube whilst charging, my battery went from 49% down to 47% after on a five minute video. Doing the same test on that monoprice cable? I went from 47% to 50% lol. 2.1A ftw.
So yeah, try a cable with a proper awg. Another option to monitor why it's taking so long to charge? Practical Meter.

ThinkGeek has a sale on them. It measures charging abilities in Watts. It comes with a charge-only cable too. It's a pretty neat way to see if your cables or charger or device is limiting the rate of charging.
