on my observation, if I leave my g3 charging alone, it's fully charged after 1 and a half hour. But if I'm using it while its charging, charging time goes up to 2 and a half hours. that's my observation...

Where can you buy a 2.0 capable car/wall charger. I saw a list of some but no info of where they're sold.

when i am at 10% battery remaining....i felt my mobile alone....charging took 2 and 1/2 hrs to charge to 100%....how ever it only took 1 hr to charge up to 60% than the rest 40% took 1 and half hour ...is this the same with u? or is there any fault in my mobile?

my mobile charges 60-70% in one hour than it becomes slow and takes 1 hr to charge the remaining 30-40% battery

Seems that LG G3 is compatible... https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/801
Anybody tried any kind of adapter to quick charge LG G3? Can send link to find it?

I'll have my Nexus 9 Tuesday so I can test the wish charge then since it comes with the HTC quick charger using quick charge 2.0. I'll report back on how/if it works. Keep in mind your phone needs to be at ~10% or less to have it kick in whole charging

I just got my Nexus 9. It does not come with the rapid charger.

It's awesome. Feels great

The lg G3 does NOT support quick charge at this time. I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P9UIKVM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1416837283&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70. It supports quick charge 2.0 and has a led indicator showing if it's quick charging or regularly charging. On my HTC M8 it'll light blue (quick charge). On my friends lg g3 it stays green. Kind of bummed because quick charge is awesome. I timed it and went from 5% to 35% in 10 mins. Full charge in about 1 hr.

This is a good page to see what phones (sold in US) have QC 2.0.

I try to test quick charge 2.0 and original LG G3 Charger. Battery remaining 4% and the phone set to airplane mode. when i plug in the charger to the phone i start stopwatch. I use battery 100% alarm to remind me if the battery has been in achieving 100%. The result is using quick charge 2.0 need 1:46:21 time to reach 100%, for Original Charger need 2:11:02 time.
So i think, although LG g3 does not support quick charge 2.0 but still charging process faster compare using original charger.
Sorry for my bad english

I ordered this Anker® 18W USB Wall Charger with Qualcomm® Quick Charge 2.0 Technology from Amazon and suppose to get today but delayed I guess due to the Snow Storm. I'll try it out and keep you updated.

Well, time to talk about our babe. The box is very simple, to green the earth maybe, there is not much to talk about the box, here is some pictures:

}
Here is what insides the box:
We got 1 charger, 1 USB cable (6 ft ~ 1.8 meters, according to Google), and 1 Welcome Guide. Well, do we need a manual for a charger? Actually I haven’t read it but I think Tronsmart is very kind to provide us a manual for their charger.
Here is our babe alone:
Some tech specs:
​
The cable is solid, and long, about 1.8 meters which is really long to me. The quality of the cable is really high.
You guys can check out the USB connector:
And the MicroUSB connector:
Let’s take a closer look at our babe ports, here you can see 1 QC 2.0 port which can produce about 5V/2A or 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A , 2 VoltIQ port which can produce about 5V/4.8A (2.4A for each ports).
Compare to the ASUS QC 2.0 charger:
Time to get our babe to work. In this short review I will test this charger to charge my Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) from 9% to 100%, time will be calculate by the stopwatch on the screen.
You guys can check the pictures below, the charger is slower than original ASUS charger a bit at the first 70%, but at the total time to 100%, it win! It took about 1 hours and 18 minutes to completely charge my Zenfone 2 from 9% to 100%.
Let’s get started.
About 9 minutes to reach 21%.
About 21 minutes to reach 35%.
About 35 minutes to reach 50%.
About 53 minutes to reach 71%.
About 1 hours and 7 minutes to reach 86%.
About 1 hours and 18 minutes to reach 100%.
Final thought, this is really good QC 2.0 charger for its price, build quality is great and the price is really acceptable especial when ASUS is selling their charger for about $29.99 USD in the US.
Key features
Cheap price
3 USB ports for charging 3 devices at the same time.
Great quality
Main disadvantages
Non for now
You can buy this charger at Amazon for $19.99 USD. Link: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...ck+Charge+2.0+42W+3+Ports+Wall+Travel+Charger

I have their quick charger with only 1 quick charging USB port and I'm also very satisfied with him. 15.9 $ on eBay..

@Tronsmart, is this charger have led ? and LED can changes color depend on it on normal charging or QC2.0 is active ?
I already try 2 QC2.0 charger. Aukey and LVSun. Sold my aukey, still have LVSun, now i want to try this tronsmart. Unfortunately, i only can get it on ebay/aliexpress, non local seller (indonesia). Take more than a month (if lucky).

@dasklney - In this test, was the phone connected to VoltIQ or to the QC2.0 port?

It was connected to QC2.0 port

Is charging mi power strip fast ?

I also see that you also have a mi power strip.
Since it provides charging at 5v_2.1 Amps.......so tell me
Does it also quick charge?
And what time it take to charge your phone from mi power strip.

I only monitored the Tronsmart Quick Charge only, when charging with Mi PowerStrip, it only shows normal charging, and I use Mi Powerstrip more often then quick charger.

I also just recently bought the [Qualcomm Certified] Tronsmart Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Car Charger. I haven't tried it yet but based on your review I can't wait to start using it & see if it's as advertised. Thanks for sharing.

Finally got a chance to use the charger briefly today. Not sure about how closely it performed to specs but I've found an unexpected benefit - it works with my wife's ancient cell phone! We've tried many different car chargers and nothing's worked with her phone. So I can guarantee that it is indeed backwards compatible.

Is it compatible with Asus Zenfone 2 2gb z008 (ze550ml)?

Where to buy Official LG G6 travel charger with type C usb cable

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy and Official LG G6 travel charger with the type C USB cable. My charger has a model number of MCS-H06WP. I looked on LG's website but couldn't find where to buy extra chargers. Also Amazon and ebay don't appear to have them. Please help.

Any quality QC 3.0 charged will work. So will QC 2.0 but won't charge as fast.

I can also recommend dodocool. Had a QC 3.0 for 9 months and it does the job.

Has anyone actually tried using a QC 3.0 charger with a G6 to see if they get quick charging? I have two and none of them quick charge the G6. A QC 2.0 charger does work to fast charge the phone, and I believe that's what the phone comes with.

No....LG G6 bundled charger which comes out of the box...is a QC2.0 charger...because the max output is 9V. For QC3.0...the output is 12V

The interwebs would seem to disagree as the specs put maximum voltage upwards of 20v for both versions. Voltage isn't as important as amperage, in this case any way. QC 2.0 and 3.0 share similar voltage ranges, but the difference being 3.0 has smaller "step" ranges. So either will actually have variable outputs in voltage and amperage, but 3.0 gives the phone more control for better efficiency (i.e heat control).
Doesn't necessarily prove or disprove the charger version, but rather just pointing it out.
I would be inclined to agree it is a QC 2.0 based of the charger, being seemingly identical to the 2.0 charger from my LG G5, but the model number is slightly different.
Of course, it's disappointing the phone would not release with QC 3.0 if that's the case since it touted 3.0 compatibility, but I have a marked 3.0 charger that does not register 2.0 on the phone, either, so I wonder. I guess it's not that big an issue, especially since there is supposedly little difference in charge times between 2.0 and 3.0.

First off, let me say that I know nothing of what comes with the Nexus. I do, however, know enough about chargers to say this:
Yes, any charger should work as long as you have the right cable to fit the phone. If it's not QC certified, of course, it'll charge slower, and if it's amperage is low it'll be even slower, but the Nexus is a new enough phone it shouldn't be too slow.

A variety of LG G6 chargers and cables are available at amazon. You can also look at amazon, 6feet long usb 2.0 type c to a charging cables are available.

Good Wireless Charger?

Has anyone found a good, reliable wireless charger for their G7 yet? (My cheap $15 charging stand isn't cutting it and I'm about to whip it against the wall).

I've been using this one by Anker, charging it overnight. Takes about 2 hours to fully charge from about 30% to 100%
No issues with it yet but only have had it about 2 weeks now.

Thanks! I have about 4 older Samsung charging pucks. What's strange is that two work fine, but the other two don't charge my G7 at all. (I'm sure it has something to do with the USB cable and/or plug that I'm using).

Bear in mind that you have to use the supplied cable, along with your o.e. charger for the Anker stand. The port on the back of the stand is a micro usb, not a usb-c.

I've been using one like this one for years no issues and good brand..
I have the older model but I see this one with same specs

G7 will say fast charging on a 10W wireless charger but LG says the phone supports 15W for true fast charging. Belkin and a handful of others make true 15W fast wireless chargers.
Watch out for off brands as many will say 15w but are actually 10w.
Im using a mophie here and it says fast wireless charging at 10w.

Good call on this charger. I picked it up on your recommendation after seeing the price before I even owned this phone and I can confirm it works great. Anker makes solid products so the price makes it even better. Thanks!

Another vote for the Anker Charger
I've been using the Anker model A2523 wireless charger with no problems. It doesn't charge super fast, but I use it for overnight charging, so that's not a problem. While charging, the battery never goes above 30 degrees centigrade, which is 2 to 4 degrees cooler that when I was using the original LG plug in charger that came with the phone! The Anker uses a Micro USB port for power, so I also got a USB-C to Micro USB adapter, so that if I need to recharge quickly, I can just unplug the LG charging cable from the adapter which is plugged into the back of the Anker charger and plug it into the phone. I think that's the best solution until more USB-C wireless chargers are produced.

No, it just states it's charging wirelessly. It's not too fast but perfect for overnight without roasting the phone or battery.

just got the UMIDIGI Q1 , and it says fast wireless charging.
Have some others scattered around the house that is 5w, like choetech t513

I have quite a few Anker products, so when I was looking for a bedside wireless charger, I was almost sure I would end up with them. However, after researching on Amazon for about an hour, I ended up buying the Yootech Wireless Charger (the goofy company name made me think that it might be a cheap rebrand, but it's been a rock solid device). I can say for the LG G7 that this is an amazing charger (although it supports a wide range if you or someone else might want to use it with a different device; especially an older one) that comes with an impressive AC adapter (it doesn't get warm while in use, something that sometimes happens with more compact adapters). It does use MicroUSB instead of USB-C and maxes out at 10W instead of 15W, however it tops up my phone from 20 - 30% to 100% in less than two hours so it's a keeper for me and allows me to save my included charger specifically for travel.

I got the BlitzWolf BW-FWC4 from Amazon for €15. Fast wireless charging thanks to QI-EPP compatibility. Works flawlessly through my Voia case. Charges almost as fast as wired. I'm using the original wall charger to power it.

got the nillkin 15w qi powerflash. Fast charging works and cooler than UMIDIGI Q1 thanks to buil in fan.

Hey, what are the charging speeds on the Nillkin? Does it charge as fast as the UMIDIGI ? Their description does not mention fast charging for LG so was wondering.

Which 3rd Party Charger

Hi,
i am just wondering, which Charger should i buy for the S21 Ultra, as i need more, i would buy them not from samsung. Do you have recommendations?

I have the wireless pad that was a freebie with the watch a while back - I'm hoping that will do the job in the day and I'll just use an old one for overnight charging - speed is not of the essence.

Ah cool.
Sometimes during the day i am happy to charge it quick fast, but mostly i also dont careabout the speed, especially overnight.

You can never go wrong with an anker charger but if you can buy from samsung i would recommend their 25w charger. Samsung recently reduced the price of the charger and if anything ever goes wrong with your phone samsung can no longer blame the charger.

I went with the 25W charger from Samsung. It is actually on discount.

i bought this 120w GaN Baseus and both charger and my S21 Ultra came today, i tested the charger with couple of outlets and cables but after couple second of "SUPER FAST CHARGIN" it reverts back to "Fast Charging" ,
its a shame cause i really loved the charger despite the noise it made and i wanted it for my future laptop too which supports 100w PD ,
i have to return it and get the normal one that samsung offering, samsung should've kept the chargers this year...
hope i didn't damaged my brand new phone by connecting and disconnecting it around 20 times

I have a 45W USB-C port as part of an Anker PowerPort and also the 18W charger that came with my Pixel 5. Would I notice much of an improvement in charging speed or long term longevity of the battery by purchasing Samsung's 25W charger?

You can get the maximum charging speed from the 45W Anker PowerPort. And the 18W charger would give you decent charging speed as well. When it comes to charging S21, there's no difference between the 45W Anker and Samsung's 25W charger. And I doubt there's much difference between the 18W and 25W charger.

Thank you. And it shouldn't cause any issues to the integrity/longevity of the battery?

No, it shouldn't. Reliable third-party chargers should just work fine as the original Samsung charger.

I do not know where he lives but here is a screenshot from the Canadian Samsung.ca site. I would think in the US it would have the same discount and be even cheaper.

"enjoy up to 30% off sitewide on .... Samsung.com"
do you really get a huge discount with this BS debit card ?

I had to buy another fast charger the other day because of a failing 25 watt brick or cable for my 10+; Fast charging is erratic.
The Samsung 25 brick/cable can be had for under $20.
It's known to work.
I nixed the 45 watt because it likely will decrease battery life and charges only marginally faster.
A working 25 watt brick charges at about 2% a minute which is fine. I go with 20-30% midrange charges so a 10-15 minute break is good.

I do not know where he lives but here is a screenshot from the Canadian Samsung.ca site. I would think in the US it would have the same discount and be even cheaper.
Edit: Looking at his part number, I would guess he is in Canada too.

According to the article below, only four of the chargers they tested charged the S21s at 25W. Two of the four were Samsung OEM chargers.

Fast charging gives me a headache as of late.
A fast charging mini horror tale...
My 10+ was fast charging normally until I slow charge it to 100% one night by accident.
The battery was probably around 85% of its original capacity at that time.
I've tried a new Samsung OEM 25w brick/cable, cleared system cache, toggled fast charging on/off 3X, hard reset, battery calibration, cleaned the C port throughly... everything except a factory reset.
Fast charging engages but usually only for 2-5 minutes, and sometimes the indicated current draw drops as low as 800 ma with only a 80% charge! WTF?
So... is it the battery, port* or a mobo failure?
It's battery replacement time but will that get it?
*the C port appears to connect normally; no charge or data interruption if pushed about.
Good, solid feel... grrrrrr

Just got a EP-TA800 charger and tried charging my S21 at 35% battery capacity and noticed it negotiated at 9V2A = 18W , I also checked this with wall plug meter. But on screen it shows its at super fast charging. So whats the range for 25W charging speed ?
