quick charge 4.0 wall charger - LG G7 ThinQ Accessories

Is this one Tenker, 60W Adapter with PD/QC4.0 truly quick charge 4.0 certified or just QC 4.0 compatible?
What QC 4.0 chrager would you advice?
I'd prefer one with 3-4 USB ports, capable of charging 3 phones/tablets at once

I suggest you check out the Razer charger. They are a very trusted, high end company.

This phone supports QC 4.0? I looked on official LG site and it only says 3.0.

Correct, but it supports QC4.0 (as confirmed by others). May be two possible reasons 1) Bad marketing 2) The included charger is only QC3.0 (Why LG, why...its you flagship phone, show some respect and love)

It says
"These devices contain the hardware necessary to achieve Quick Charge 4/4+. It is at the device manufacturer’s
discretion to fully enable this feature."
I do hope it's enabled by default.

Well QC4.0 chargers are almost none existant, that's why

A better QC 3.0 charger than the original (with more amps / 12 volt) can decrease charging time?

Hi
Has anyone tried this charger ?
I did not find any Videos on Youtube or orther sites selling it
What got me Interested in this charger was it has 2 Usb ports
1 of QC 3.0 & orther of QC 4.0
do not know if it works
See it here -
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB...e946-4a73-b356-c931053a86c8&priceBeautifyAB=0
Cheaper at Amazon

Yeah the 845 supports it but i dont think LG has enabled it in firmware.
Im just excited we have fast wireless charging thats useable.
Kind of like bands, the radio will do them all but most are firmware specific.

before buy qc 4.0 charger i think the first step is create a mod that enable quickcharge when screen is on and possibility of increase max charging current to 3 amp
notice that when screen is on max current is around 1A and when is off is around 2.2A
so i think is useless buy an expensive charger when the firmware is limited to these values

Exactly, 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!

so... if u bought a quick charge 4.0 brick... will it charge the g7 faster than QC 3.0?

Why? So G7 could pave the ways of Galaxy Note 7 and if not burn in flames then at least loose 50% of battery capacity in half a year? Sorry I'm not enlisting to shoot myself in the foot and throw expensive $700 phone in half a year to garbage can just because
Quick Charge 4.0 doesn't bump currents to 3A, it's not working that way. It bumps voltages to 20V instead

Yes, and no, i think the only one "problem" (or protection?) is the limit at 1 amp when the screen is unlocked, 20 volt i think isn't so useful if we use a good usb cable

But, even Samsung said and officially stated that after Note 7 fiasco they made same limit of 1A when screen is unlocked to prevent fast battery degrading. Samsung knows better then XDA uses, I think

It's not 20 volts. That's way too much for a battery. It's actually 9v + 2 amps. 20v it's mostly for Tables i think.

9 Volts isn't even Quick Charge 3.0, it's legacy QC 2.0.
QC 3.0 & 4.0 compatible phones can get charged from 20V, 12V, 9V and 5V

This is the one I use:
https://www.aukey.com/products/quick-charge-3-0-wall-charger-pa-t9
But if I plan ahead, I try not to use it very often. It works well, it's just that the long-term health of my battery benefits from slower charging.

Possible Trick to get Quick Charge on Z2 international varient

I have been searching for Z2 quick charging, and find out that z2 have quick charging enabled only on Japanese model ( SO-03F) (and it have a 32 gb internal memory). And qualicom itself says that z2 support quick charge 2.0. ( well dont get confused over the terms quick charge and fast charge ( fast charging = 5v @ amps over 1 amp, possibly [email protected] 1.5 - 2 Amp and Quick charge 2.0 = 9/12 v at 1.5- 2amp, higher voltages).
I have tried with note 4 quick charger on z2 6503, but it charges in normal mode. So sony have possibly dissabled quick charge 2 on other varients of Z2 (why sony... Why!!!). But since hardwares of Japanese model and other region's models are possibly same ( except radio and memory???, or are they locked, since radio unlocking can be done in all sony phones), i think that the same quick charge chip is used in international models and possibly locked down.with software, may be we can enable it via some tricks???
My idea is:-
1) cross flash SO-03F FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL MODEL
2) dissassemble kernal and other hardware drivers along with scripts ( cross matching them) and find out where the code is hidden/dissabled and copy that to use with international models.
So any possible idea, thoughts,disaster report is welcome.
I have 90% confidence in this, i need help and reports from kernel developers, can you guys just cross check the kernel of SO-03F with international varient like 6503?
Hope we can find it out since we have made great things like 4k and slow-motion port for z1, which is a different phone, but in this case 99% of hardware is same.
So pls help to dig this out..
I'm quite sure the QuickCharge is enabled somewhere in the kernel.
May be... But we dont know yet...

Basically, if you turn off a QC2.0 device and plug in the charger it still is going to charge at full speed. This means it has to be the kernel. Unless it uses some external drivers from the system, but I don't think that's the case here.
So u saying that quick charge still works when phone is off?

thank you mate. well i would love to get attention of all developers to this thread.
@AndroPlus would be most qualified guy for the job
Thank you for this thread, i would like to add something
The official indian website of Sony lists a fast charging mobile charger compatible for the Z2 http://www.sonymobile.com/in/products/accessories/quick-charger-ep881/
& i bought it, but it doesn't do anything as it claims.
Now i may be a little skeptical but i think that as i bought my device from China through ebay, maybe thats why im missing this feature.
P.S. The power output of the charger is 12W which makes it total legit as a quickcharger
Check the volatge and amp description of that charger, if it is 5 v @ some "x" amp, then its just normal charger with high capacy. Not quick charge 2.0, but if its 9 or 12 v its a quick charger.
EP881 is not UCH10 is. Link: http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/quick-charger-uch10/

QuickCharge is enabled by default, so no tricks with kernel needed.
But, as I found out reading on xda, you also need compatible CABLE to be able to use quick charging. Apparently the standard data cables cannot push enough current through them. The compatible cable (which ships with some of the newer devices) is labeled as EC 802. And as far as I understood any cable which has those cylinders behind both ports on the cable, can do the job.

Uhm, what kind of cylinders?
If you mean those 1.5cm in diameter plastic coated things on both ends of the cable after the connector, thats simply Lead to reduce electromagnetic interference or such a thing. I have a cable with those USB 1.1 that's about 8-12 years old.
Guys pls dont try to suggest things if u dont know what are you talking about.. I did say its quick charge 2. Not fast charging or rapid charging or lighting charing or what ever... Quick charging is a new method adopeted by qualicom.. Its not about amp ratings.. Its a method through which battery is charged with more watts/hr. And its the voltage increase that does the trick, not current. I have said the difference in op post...!!!! I wish some development should be happen, not just talking..
Well well well..... Is it physically even possible for the non Japanese version? Maybe they've put another VRM on the PCB on the SO-03 revision which can handle 9v, and the international version does have an older chip?

I forgot to say any newer cable, surely not those 10y old. Try to do a research on quick charging, I really don't know much about it, but I have found some posts where people tested different cables with aftermarket quick chargers (those approved by Qualcomm) and confirmed that not all of them will work, specifically EC802 does, bot not 801 and 803 (which I have).

I know the basic difference, I have just shared that I have found info about cable compatibility, not just the charger itself. No need to be upset about it, I was just trying to help, dear God.
If any one of the members want to know the basics of quick charging and similar technology for our devices, read this article by androidpolice
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...-need-to-know-about-charging-your-smartphone/
Well one thing that is missed in the artcle... I will explain.
Normaly most rapid chargers/fast chargers ( not quick charger 2.0) like my sony oem Ep 880 which came bundled with z2( rated [email protected] = 7.5 w) and samsung model Eta-u90IWE which i use on my z2 normally ( rated [email protected] = 10 w) can charge z2 fastly ( using a belkin 2.5 mts usb cable) but neither is quick charger 2.0.
There are other oem chargers which are rated at 3amps or even 4.5 amps like asus transformer pad charger ( ie 5v at 3amp=15w or 5v at 4.5amp= 22.5w) but then too those are not quick chargers 2.0, since that article says that anything above 15(or18) watts is a quick charger 2.0, there will be a chance of miss conception.
Let me clear it, quick charging 2.0 chargers charge phone with higher voltage and below or equall to 2amps, thats how the wattage rating increses ( 9v @2 amps= 18 w 12v @2 amp = 24w) so be sure to check the volatge before choosing a quick charger. Any currents above 1.5 will do the trick if u have 9/12 v chager.

Quick Charge 2.0?

I know they mentioned fast charging with the usb type c and all but they didn't really say if it's quick charge 2.0 :crying:
I also pre ordered the second it came live and it didn't give me tax, but I had to cancel the order because the shipping address was at the wrong house. Now it made me pay for tax and it came out to be $40
Anyone else have this?
I also want to know this, anyone who can confirm?
Every article and spec list I've seen indicates that it doesn't have quick charge.
USB type c should charge faster than qualcom quick charge 2.0 correct? It does mention fast charging but does not specify
3 amps @ 5 volts. That is equal or greater than a turbo charge with the Nexus 6, so I would say you won't be disappointed.
I want to know this as well, those of us with multiple quick chargers, will they work properly with the 5X?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Free mobile app
Spoke to Google Store support and they were clear that its NOT Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 compatible.
They said it uses Fast Charge technology.
I asked if any charger that outputs 3A would charge the device at full speed, but they weren't really sure.
They advised me to contact LG.
I'm hoping my Anker chargers will work with the 5X and save me from having to buy all new accessories.

yes that 's the point / i have a couple of q.c 2.0 / i didnot want to buy more ..
It would be great if we can use the QC 2.0 chargers with a monoprice USB C cable to get fast charging speeds.
Edit: Just looked at USB C cable prices on monoprice and they are almost the same as the google store, maybe a dollar cheaper. No bueno

Pretty sure all fast charging tech is reliant on how low the battery is and as it gets full it slows down.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG G5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Great Charging
This is the first phone I have had that would actually increase the charge significantly while navigating using google maps in the daylight. And it increases pretty fast.
My Anker QuickCharge 3.0 charger got my G5 from 0 to 100% in ~75 minutes while on. The same charger port got my spare battery in the cradle fro 0 to 100% in ~3 hours (it only pulled 5V).
After lunch today, I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port on my Lenovo T430, and it got from 60 to 100% in under 30 minutes while pulling over 1.2 amps (way above spec).
I'm happily impressed!

As has been discussed elsewhere, QC 3.0 doesn't boost speed much if at all over 2.0. Instead it provides a continuous range of charging voltages (or amps? or whatever) so that it can charge at just the right rate. This should heat the battery less and (in theory, no idea how true/noticeable this will be after a year of use) wear down the battery less because of it.

Screen off = no difference in speed
Try with screen on then 3.0 is 2-3x as fast as 2.0
This has made a massive difference in the car when my screen stays on.
3.0 charges at a solid 1A with screen on as oppose to 2.0 that only musters 0.3-0.6A depending on phone temperature. ?

Qualcomm's Quick Charge goes outside the USB-C spec in order to be able to charge compatible Quick Charge devices faster (higher voltages when possible).
Dose this meet the USB-C spec, no... Would I be concerned about it, Not if I'm using a reputable QC charger and USB-C cable.
Happy fast charging....
I'll be commenting on these cables and QC3.0 charging on my battery charging thread once I have more data. I have 2 QC3.0 USB wall chargers that I'm collecting data on now. These both have USB-A ports, so they need cable adapters.
But yes, early SPOILER @GottZ: The USB-C compliant cables (USB-A to USB-C) with the resistor limit the benefit of QC3 over QC2. But @stuart0001 does have a point with charging with the screen on.

I look forward to your findings.
After further experimentation, QC 2.0 will hit 1A with screen on when below 32deg. So I've found when screen on:
QC 2.0
<32 = 1A
32-35 = 0.6A
35-42 = 0.3A
>42 =? (I haven't tested yet)
QC 3.0 maintains 1A, certainly upto 42. Again, I've not tested higher than that.
This is all with the cable that came with the phone.

when talking about QC 2/3 you should also mention volt or just combine volts and amps to watts
just talking about amps is like saying A: has 2 inches Ampere and B: has 3 inches Ampere

LG is just imitating Samsung here, they did the exact same thing with my S8. I only ever fast charged that phone on my laptop.
I wonder if they're secretly trying to extend battery life, isn't fast charge rough on a battery?

There seems to be disagreement between Qualcomm and LG. On LG's website it says G8 is QC3.0 in "Power & Performance" section of their Specs page, while QualComm lists G8 as capable of QC4.0 (but not 4.0+).

Old post, worth insisting.

I've bought two Hama wall chargers, 3 and 4+.

All three have same exact charging time.
So, how can this be?
Shouldn't 4+ be faster than 3?
If yes, than the G8 it's indeed only QC 3...
Has anyone tried a QC 4 charger yet? How does USB PD speeds compare to QC 3/4? I'm coming from OnePlus and debating about what charger(s) to buy. What's been the fastest chargers?

S20 maximum safe charge?

I just bought a Snapdragon S20 FE. It has the SD865, of course.
I am posting this here since there are more users active that can share their knowledge and as far as I can read we have the same HW.
USB Power Delivery 3.0 charging- 25W support.
It comes in the box with a 15W.
I want to use it with my HTC QC 3.0 charger. HTC deviated fron the QC standard for their lineup but I haven't had any issues charging multiple devices.
As far as I know it's not OK or recommended to go above 3000 mA when charging. I always check chargers and cables (Type-C) to be sure I don't fry my ports or phones. I use the Ampere App on the Playstore.
Using the HTC QC 3.0 charger and HTC cable -I get. 3100 mA and 4.1V. I don't have the Samsung charger with me to test right now but it's the slower. These value go down as heat or % go up.
Are these values normal?
The phone's power controller won't allow excess current and actively regulates it when fast charging. If too cold it will default to slow charging in order to help protect the battery.

Thanks for your response. When I said i know it's not recommended to go above 3000 mA I was thinking of my experience with SD QC. I am not talking about OnePlus Dash Charge or other simillar custom solutions. Trying to figure out the PD 3.0 standard now. All my cables are good.

It's a mess. With Samsung the easiest way is to use their 25 watt brick and approved cable.
I may be wrong but don't think fast charging will not work with any power source; the phone controller actively communicates with the charger.
The phone controller actively regulates the charge curve throughout the charge cycle.
On the 10+ with the 25 watt brick it gains 2% @ minute in the 30-80% or so range if the temperature is within its correct parameters.
The 45 watt brick adds more on the lower end of the charge curve but as not near much as the wattage difference suggests.

I have QC chargers. I am not inclined to buy a 25W Samsung charger as I consider it a subpar product. It had to be said. After years of Fast Charging I find Samsung solution in 2020 bad. They are lagging behind OP, Xiaomi etc. But they heavily discount their phones so, here we are. Also, the Samsung cables.... but good cables are everywhere now.
Can you share your Volts and Amps from the Ampere App, used with the 25W charger in the 30-80% range?
No clue and it would vary. Might try that apk if it works on unrooted phones.
The difference once in fast charge mode isn't worth worrying about though. Takes me 10 minutes to get a 20% midrange charge.
Li's prefer short frequent midrange charge cycles.
Note: was looking that app. It looks like it needs screen on to monitor the charge.
If so that will throw off the charge curve. You can use bt and listen to Poweramp (screen off) without disrupting the curve much but screen on draws too much power.
At that point the phone will revert to slow charging.

Ampere is non-root. It shows Live data. It's not for monitoring over a long period of time. For example: I tested my 65W type C laptop charger into my HTC. Of course it went up to 3.5 Amps in 10 seconds. Pulled it off after 15 seconds. As the laptop charger is fast charge for my laptop it goes up to 5A. My phone cannot handle that.
So if you run the Ampere app and are between 20-80% at 25-35 degrees Celsius(measured at the battery sensor). It will show your charging parameters in 10-20 seconds. No problem measuring those values there.
I know 3.1 amps is not far from 3 amps and it stays that way. Maybe I am being over zealous. I don't think that 3.1 amps will ruin my phone. My experienced is based on reading about this in the early days of Type-C when HTC adopted this on the 10. It had 18W QC 3.0... in 2016. Glad I have a 15W charger in late 2020. Actually, I am glad I have a charger )).
