Honor 8 Pro doesn't Quick Charge - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I have the original Huawei charger that came with the phone but I am using Samsung c9 pro usb cable for charging (lost the Huawei one)
My phone charged only 18% (from 13 to 31) in 30 minutes.
Is this normal considering Fast charging?

hi there,
The USB cable must be the original one that came with the device. There are other USB cables such as Mi dual type USB cable which works fine for Fast Charging. I dont know about your Samsung cable.
You can find out if it is Fast Charging from the notification bar. If you see two lightning icons inside the Battery icon, then it is Fast Charging. If you see one lightning icon inside Battery icon, it is Normal Charging. Hope this helps.
Bests.

the cable should support 18w (9v 2a) charging for fast charge to work.

USB-C Charger

I use a 'Dell AC Battery Charger Adapter USB-C470-ABSF Dell 45W 20V 2.25A' for charging my laptop. Can i also use this charger for the LG V20?
I'm using the one from my Asus Chromebook.
Somebody knows which QC 3.0 charger is compatible with the LG V20?
JuiceBitz in the UK...
Their v3.0 23W charging brick, along with their USB A-C cables work fine with my newly aquired V20.
My V20 charging doesn't slow down if I have a 'normal' USB 2 lead charging another device in the other slot either...
Sony UCH12W will work. I also use Ugreen Quick Charge 3.0 charger. It works fine
I have one Quick Charge 3.0 charger (poweradd) and one USB PD (iclever), and (according to systempanel2) they all charge at about the same rate. Max ~1 A while the screen in on (usually throttled at ~500 mA, I'm using a modified thermal config file), and ~3 A while the screen is off. So your 2.25 A charger should work fine, just won't be quite as fast as a QC 3.0 or PD charger.

Quick charging questions - LG G7 ThinQ

Lots of questions here...
G7 comes with QC 3.0 although the chipset can support QC 4.0 as per Qualcomm. I see on other forums that users can tell when their phone is quick-charging or slow-charging.
1) Does the G7 let you know what speed it is charging at? I'd like to know so I can swap out cables, chargers, Qi pad, to get the fastest charging rate.
2) Is there a difference between Samsung's Fast Charging, and Qualcomm's QC 3.0?
3) If a charger says that it is compatible with Samsung S9's or S9+'s fast charging, will it fast charge the G7?
4) is there a QC Qi pad that is compatible with our QC 3.0 phone? If so, can I assume that I would still need to power it with a QC 3.0 wall wart?
5) Will a USB-PD or USB-IF charger quick charge our phones?
6) What is the minimum QC cable type (USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1) needed to get the maximum QC 3.0 charge? Does it have to be a 3.1 cable?
7) I've seen that when I put the G7 on my 1st gen Qi pad (5W micro-USB) that the phone screen lights up, and a circle briefly appears with the charged percentage in the center (while phone is on stand-by). If the phone is unlocked and the display is on, a white window telling me it is wirelessly charging shows up and tells me how long until the phone will be fully charged (again, when placed on a Qi pad). It's currently telling me 19 minutes to full charge from 93%. Is there a way to get this remaining-time info while cable-charging through the USB-C port?
Thanks!

The charge rate of the phone irrespective of the chargers we use, it is controlled by the stock kernel. When screen is on, it lowers down the amperage (See Ampere App) to keep off the heat, vice versa etc. We need a custom kernel to have the charging amperes to be changed manually which is really cool. If we have a really cool custom kernel, the CPU governors should preset customisable governors (for smooth performance) and for the charge values, just look for a 3A charger, with the Kernel Adiutor change the values. Meaning the benefits of rooting gives us the complete freedom of our Android! If a 4A charger is detected by the kernel manager app, the charge values should show as "upto 4A even with the screen on! Then no need to be jealous of Dash Charging of One Plus!
I think this article will help you out... Breaks it all down... Samsung charger are not the greatest for fast charging but works better than a basic one... Ultimately I would say USB c to USB c with USB PD is your fastest with QC 3.0/4.0 being a close second..
https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-does-fast-charging-work/
I don't see that wireless fast charging is b supported by the g7 ... That's a Samsung gimmick ... But the Qi standard chargers charge at the same rate as a basic charger... The lock screen always tells you how long until full no matter what charger you are using and it will say fast charging, wireless or just charging... My observations have been around 1.5 hour for 60 percent to full so about 5 hours if dead, great before going to sleep and I missed it in my least few phones

Thanks! I noticed you do not have a G7 listed as a current phone in your signature. Is your answer above based upon your experience with Samsung phones and their charging system, or specifically with the G7 (or other QC 3.0 phones)?
I hadn't notice the charging speed on the lock screen, as I have the phone set to basically bypass it all the time (fingerprint, facial recognition, & geo-fence)...so I didn't even know it was listed there on the bottom. Thanks again...now I know it's there
Strange thing is I went through a bunch of permutations with cables (various generations), and charge blocks and Qi pads this morning, and with the phone starting at 93% charged, it made no difference in remaining charge time no matter what combination of the items I hooked up. I saw the standard "charging" memo with some combos, and the "fast charging" one too, with others. Can I assume that even though the phone might say it's fast charging, it ramps the speed/power level up and down as necessary due to the current state of charge, or heat or some other factors? Would it also possibly switch into fast-charging with more power if the phone was starting at a lower state of charge, or possibly cooler?Yes, I'll have to read the link above as it's probably covered there
"Fast Wireless Charging" is supported and working.
I have a RavPower 15w and 3 umdigi 15w qi wireless pads that all say wirelessly fast charging when connected. Needs an 18w QC2-3 charger for the input voltage ranges needed to work.
It is noticeably faster than a 10w qi pad and only slightly slower than QC 3.0 USB average charge.

Of the 2 Qi pads you mention, any preferences towards one or the other (or a different one altogether)? I have an Anker QC 3.0 charger I can connect up to it.
BTW.. I cannot locate a 15W Ravpower pad. What model is it? And is the Umdigi a model Q1?

My pixel screen went bad and the charging port went bad also... Just got the g7 so I haven't changed my signature or updated my devices...
Samsung Fast charge is basically qc2 ... And standard USB A to C do not support the higher current that USB C to C does... I notice fastest charging with my pixel USB PD charger...
And yes you won't notice as much fast charging from the top 20 percent of the battery to prevent over charging...
for me, from 25% of charge, the fast charge advertisement says 1 hour and 20 minutes (charge fast???????).... if i use a normal charger (not fast), the time goes to 1 hour and 31 minutes. this phone has a charge fast but very low fast

I know it's hard from a specs perspective as most are only 75% efficient so the 10w might only be 7.5w and 15w is actually 10w, which is why LG customer services expressly states you must use a 15w QI charger for fast wireless charging. Another problem is the specs aren't always accurate and updated devices might still have old specs listed. I tried a bunch before I found a couple I liked. The mophie streampad+ also does fast wireless charging but is listed as 10w.
The RavPower is a standup charger I use in the office, the other UmDigi chargers I have scattered around the house and in the bedroom.
RavPower: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079C1QLCR
UmDigi: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DJ56LT5
Did a little charge test from 50 percent
Wireless charger =1h 40m
Stock iPhone charger =1h 14m
Both pixel USB C to C and stock fast charger =1h 2m
I'm in the market for a qi charger that can fast charge my Thinq g7. I see reports of needing 15W but not seeing many out there that have that spec.
I have seen a RavPower one posted here that is said to do it but the price is quite high for that model. Does anyone else have experience with fast charging the thinq g7 with a Qi charger?
I have Samsung Fast wireless charger. This present with S7. Fast charging battery of S7 Edge, S9+. But G7 didn't support fast wireless charging. And charging is slow. So you can buy what you want but charging with this phone will be slow.
I read this topic and wondering how G7 is going to wireless fast charge?

Just thought I'd add to this - the charger that comes with the LG G7 ThinQ (Verizon) is labeled with outputs 9V/1.8A and 5V/1.8A. My old HTC 10 charger is labeled 12V/1.25A, 9V/1.7A, 5V/2.5A. I haven't tried it on the HTC 10's charger on a measuring device to see actual power delivery, but at least on the face of it, if it supports those higher voltages and/or amps, you should be able to get faster charging than with the charger out of the box.
On the other hand, faster charging may in part be why the HTC 10's battery lifetime is dismal, and not once have I thought "boy I wish my G7 would charge faster".
Anyone tried qc4.0 ?
According to some sites ThinQ is capable of 27W (9x3) charging. I therefore purchased a Xiaomi 65W charger which outputs 9x3 but the phone charges only with 15W (5x3) so wasted money.
Yes. I bought 3 different chargers and also a watt meter. When charging with screen on max amps is 1A and 6-8wattage. When screen is off it goes up to max 16watt. And it doesnt matter which charger i use.
80min for a full chsrge isnt that good. But think that lg g7 released in 2018?
Vivos IC00 something charges full in 20min. 4000mAh.
Im sick of "..reduced charging speed cause it can in a long term reduce battery......" who gives..? Then if you notice a different is gonna take 3 years and if still got same phone. Switch battery.
Look at Tesla batteries whos battery lost like 10 percent after 30000 km. I mean..come on
Im on 72% now and it says 45min to full.
A specialised site reported it would charge at 27W (9V x 3A) but this is simply not true. The best it can charge is 15W (5V x 3A). Thats it.

slow charging issue

well i am using an anker charger and a good usb c cable that worked with almost all phones and fast charging before
i didnt use the original charger yet or cable .. i usually tend to keep them so if i needed to sell the phone later it will be easier .. also no place for extra chargers
the phone charged 10% in 20-30 minutes ?! pocophone used to charge like 50% in 30 minutes using same charger and cable
so what do you think !! i will try to use the orginal cable and charger to make sure phone is not faulty and will update you
Anker is not compatible with any version of Huawei fast charging protocols while Pocophone is.
Use Huawei's original supercharger.
i used the original charger and original cable and it was super charging
i use the original charger and 3rd party cable and it was regular charging
i used older huawei quick charger and any cable and it was quick charging
i used anker charger and any cable and it was regular charging
so apparently the charging process in huawei is very dependant on both charger and cable .. wished it was much easier than this
i usually use the anker charger for all devices
i also get a feeling that fast charging lesser the battery life over time .. so what is your opinion about that ?!
You need a cable, which support 5V. You can find some on Aliexpress but Anker don't have cable, which support 5V
What I saw is that the first few minutes are slow or regular below 20%. After, the charge is reslly fast. Closing to 100% slow down to.

Question Charging ZF3 with Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim 63W - Charging keeps turning on and off

Wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue..
I have an Anker PowerPort Atom III Slim 63W with a 100w USB-C to C cable
When plugged into the 18w or 45w port on the Anker charger, the ZF3 activates Super Fast Charging for a few seconds, then turns off, then a few seconds later starts charging again, then turns off etc
The only way to stop this is to disable Super Fast Charging on the ZF3 - but then its just standard, slower charging
Charger works fine with Note 10+5G (Super Fast Charging) and other devices
Cable works fine with other chargers
Using a different cable with the Anker charger doesn't fix the problem
Is the Anker charger just simply not compatible with the ZF3?
Does the Samsung 25w brick charge it normally?
Erratic fast charging is one of the signs of a battery failure.
It sounds though likes it's incompatible with the Fold.
If fast charging parameters aren't fully met, it will disengage.
If charge start battery temperature is below 50-70F
Above 101F
If battery charge state is above 75-90%
If display/phone is active*.
*screen off listening to bt with Poweramp doesn't skew the charge curve.
ZF3 Super Fast Charges perfectly fine with other chargers, including a third party WJOY USB C Charger 65W that I use.
The problem is only with this Anker charger.
I think the Anker charger is simply incompatible with the ZF3...
The issue is 2 fold. 1 - that charger doesn't support PPS or the new version of PD, so you can't get super fast charging. And 2- It supports PD, however it's an older protocol that only Google and Apple phones use for "rapid charging", so you can only use standard fast charging.
So it sounds like the phone is trying to handshake the PD signature from the charger for super fast charging, but fails once it realizes it doesn't actually meet the proper PD specs. Charging is very rudimentary, so it's going to keep trying because it keeps seeing "PD capable charger"
Simply disconnecting the charger from the mains, waiting 5mins, and then reconnecting everything seemed to do the trick - The ZF3 now Super Fast Charges. Seems like it was just a glitch with the Anker charger and it just needed a reset. Thanks for all your help
