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.

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with my original wall charger that came with the phone. There seems to be something wrong between the cable and the connector you are plugging into the phone. I need to have the cable in a specific position for the phone to be able to recharge.
The question is, is there any better charger than the original samsung one? I could probably get it replaced as it still is in warranty, but I don't like how slow it recharges the phone. If I am running a 3D game the phone is slowly DISCHARGING even when plugged in to a wall charger.
I noticed the charger has only 500-700 mA output. I had an older htc charger which had 1000 mA output. Would a charger like this recharge my phone faster? I have seen some posts about non-samsung chargers not being able to recharge the battery fast as there is some kind of protection built into the phone.
I would also consider buying a wireless charger if it was available for a reasonable price.
Are you all using the stock chargers?
Thanks in advance for any help.
you can read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721677&highlight=charging
Just to make sure it is the charger's fault, does the phone charge normally if connected to a computer, from the USB port?
Thanks for the link.
Yes, phone charges and transfers data from USB without any problem, so it should be fault on the charger.
Reading through that thread, I guess there is no point in buying a more powerful charger.
as i said there, i use a nokia 1200mAh charger and the charging time is more than 2 hours, so we have to deal with it. The thing you should care of is the quality of the charger to avoid the touchscreen known problems
Imho you don`t need better (more powerfull) charger because of the hardware limitations. What you should do is to try any other microUSB charger just to see if that solves your problem. So if any of your friends of family have other samsung or nokia etc. phone, thats charging with microUSB, plug it into your phone to see if it solves your problem. You will know what to do next if it does

how do I check the quality of the charger?
I am aware that many of these dual USB port chargers dont actually charge any faster than 1amp.
Does anyone know of a robust dual charger that can swiftly charge my Z1, without having to turn everything on the phone off?
Also, will charging via the magnetic charging port and the mini usb at the same time, cause any issues or charge the phone faster?
If i am being stupid, please forgive me.
Take a look at the Anker chargers.
As far as I am aware you cannot charge your phone by simultaneously using the magnetic port and the usb port. Most likely the first one to be plugged in will take priority. Q

Thanks, I bought an Anker 150000 amp. It's dual. I was looking for an adaptor for a wall socket. Just worded my request wrongly it seems.
I have a Sony mag-cable, and a sony wall charger.. all are stock sony supplies bought directly from the local Sony retail store.
When I plug my mag-cable to the side, it charges it - as expected.
When I then plug the USB cable in, which is connected to the wall charger on the end, the mag cable STOPS working.
Using a voltmeter connected to the prongs on the side of the phone, the voltages dropped to near 0 as soon as the usb was plugged in.
I'm using a NUT's 4.4.4 with a locked BL and stock kernel/everything else.

I don't think you can charge them at the same time. I don't know much about them, but you might also look into 4 or 6 port chargers too.
I use the magnetic charger, it charge quite fast as. But I think the voltage limit for magnetic is 1 ma.
But for usb, I charge with Sony fast charge USB power bank, it's charging rate at 2.1 ma.
It's very speedy to charge. So I suppose that having a charger with 2.1 ma charger will fill up your battery better than 1 ma.
Anker chargers are really awesome, been using them for months...
What can you say about Lumsing power banks?
Hi all,
I'm running into a strange issue with my Z1 Compact. I've just bought an Anker 40w 5-port USB charger, and when I connect it to my Z1c with the magnetic cable, it charges fine and everything is OK. However, if I connect it using a standard micro USB cable, it discharges at a rate of around 800ma instead of charging.
It's not just the Anker charger - I had a similar issue with an Arctic 4-port charger I was using previously. When I connect to the stock charger with micro USB, everything is fine and the phone charges normally. I'm running the latest build of SlimKat (it was happening with previous versions as well as on CyanogenMod) with unlocked bootloader.
Is the stock Sony charger different to regular USB chargers in terms of internal connections? I can't figure out why else this would be happening.
Stock charger has 1,5A and when you charge phone and at the same time you use it wont discharge. But if you have charger with max 1A or even less your phone would discharge while havy using
That's the thing though - the Arctic charger is rated for up to 2A per port, whilst the Anker is rated up to 2.4A per port, so it shouldn't be that.
Also, if I'm just using the phone normally whilst not plugged in, I might get a current drain of around 450mA from the battery. But if I plug it into one of these chargers over micro USB, the drain will be around 800mA to 1100mA. So it's not that the phone is using more current than the charger can provide; the charger is apparently actively discharging the phone.
I'm using Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check on all this. When I connect to the 3rd party chargers the mV and mAh flicker and jump about, but are steady over the magnetic cable or over micro USB on the OEM charger. Not sure what this signifies, if anything...
I have a couple of generic chargers I've been using with my note 2 for a couple of years. I realize these will charge slower than the samsung fast charge charger but is there any reason we can't use them or will they impact battery life (I would think they would increase battery life); i supect the answer is that they are fine but maybe battery technology has changed and there is some 'smarts' between charger and battery that would be damaged by these ?
No issue using your old charger except as you mentioned it won't be fast charging. I do not believe that the fast charging will hurt the battery. The fast charge only works for the first portion of the charge then the rate of charge slows to a trickle charge.
U can use any charger but i recommend to use any charger with 2amp output as it charges quick 40% in 30 mins insteas of 50%in 30 mins with original.
Original charger has two modes 9v and 5v it charges with 9v untill 50% and switches to 5v after that.
I think the unit i use is a sanyo 800ma 5 volt. I don't mind the slwo charge as long as it can't harm the battery. This is only used during travel and office; @ home I use the charger that came with the device.
You can definitely use another charger. Like said before it wont charge as fast. The adapter that comes with the phone will charge your phone at 9v instead of the normal 5v. If you use a different usb cable with the charger it will still charge at 9v. If you change the adapter, it will charge at the normal 5v whether you use the another usb cable or the one that came with the phone. The usb cable is just wires. The wall adapter is what determines how fast it will charge...
Hello friends,
I've bought an Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 (Qualcomm) Car Power Adapter and want to use it with a magnetic cable (original Sony).
Someone know, is this a good combination / is this working?

I have an Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 wall plug. When using a USB cable it appears to charge quicker than when using a magnetic cable (after market). The USB cable is higher gauge than the magnetic cable so that could be why. However, I do not think QuickCharge works on the magnetic connector. That being said the Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 does have a higher current and can charge non QuickCharge devices faster than the regular adapter. So I think you will notice it charge faster using the Aukey QuickCharge adapter and the magnetic cable versus a regular adapter, but not as fast as using a USB cable with the Aukey QuickCharge adapter.

yes, works very well for me. I use the same and it goes from under 10% to over 50% in 40 minutes. I slows down a bit after that, and the closer to 100% it gets the slower the charge.
You should be able to get from 0% to 100% in a little over two hours. The reason I bought a Q 2.0 charger is that it negotiates with the phone to get the best rate of charge, so even though it's super fast charging, the phone doesn't even get warm. It worries me when I plug my phone in somewhere I I feel it getting hot, it can't be good for the battery.
I recently bought a Quick Charge 2.0 adapter and can tell you that it made no difference to my charging times. Whether it's the standard charger that came with the Z3C, the Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, usb charging, or magnetic charger, my phone charges at about 1% per minute with any of those combinations.
Supposedly QC2.0 can charge up to 60% in 30 mins, or 2% per minute, i.e. twice as fast as a regular charger, but I didn't get close to that. I had a friend test my QC2.0 adapter on his LG G4 and it charged from 0 to 75% in 30 mins, so I'm guessing QC2.0 isn't active or doesn't work on the Z3C, at least on mine anyway.

Thanks, you have solved my question aahahha
With the magnetic does not exactly work.
I thought that for Quickcharge the data lines of the USB cable have to be used, because the CPU needs to communicate with the power supply for switching to QC 2.0. Right or wrong?!
And the magnetic cable doesn't provide any data lines
i just replace my z3 compact battery it turns on but won't charge... how i can made the unit charge again please help... the battery is ok...
