I've had a nexus 5x before and own a pixel table. Both come with USB C port to charge. So i bought a itian qc3.0 charger at that time. (http://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_389793.html)
Now i changed to the lg g6, but it refused to do the 'fast charging ' when i use that chargers qc3.0 port and even says 'slow charging' when connecting to the usb c output.
Is it the combination that's just flakey or did they put something specific in the original charger that comes with the lg g6?
I'm bit lost on the topic of chargers currently, anyone care to enlighten me on what should could would work?
Lg g6 is picky I think

I'm using the charger from my Nexus 6 and my G6 says that it's quick charging. Only QC 2.0 on that one though.

Works fine with my wife's charger from her Galaxy Note 4 as well. ? (Pretty sure that's a QC 2.0 charger as well.)
Does LG not provide a qc 3.0 charger with their own phone ??
Mine came with a MCS-H06UR charger.
Rated @ 9.0V 1.8A / 5.0V 1.8A
After a quick Google search I've had no luck ascertaining if this is QC 2.0 or QC 3.0.
From what I can tell, my phone charges as fast if not faster using the 5V/3A charger that came with my 6P.
From what I've read online, the LG G6 also supports USB-PD.

Off topic a bit. Thoughts on overnight wireless charging. I have a great charging cradle that I want to use but don't want phone to crack at night from hours of heat. Sony z2 and z4v had issues with that

Shouldn't really get hot once it's fully charged?
The charger that comes with it is a quick charge 3.0 charger and can completely charge your phone from zero in less than 2 hours easily. You have to use the cord that came with it though, or at least one that is compatible. If you look at the icons, you will see a different one than the usual charging icon. Pulling down the menu shows something about fast-charging when its active.
My experience comes from the Sprint version.

i use one from Tylt each night since im always on-call. havent had a problem once.
None of my QC 3.0 charger fast chagrge my G6. The QC 2.0 chargers do.
I've bought a Choetech wall usb charger, QuickCharge 3.0 with its usb type-c cable, and when I plug it on LG G6, it says that there's fast charging.
https://amzn.com/B019Q5WT6W
I do not believe the LG stock charger is qc qc 3.0 compatible because its fixed mat output at 9v is 1.8a
qc 3.0 defines the max amps at each voltage level from 5v to 9v to 12v
I ended up buying anker qc 3.0 chargers for my car and for ac wall outlet. also bought their nice braided usb c cable. every combination yields a fast charger notification in the drop down and the ampere app confirms this. also watching the real time output is impressive from all these chargers.
the benefit to using a certified qc 3.0 charger is that the phone will tell it exactly what amps to deliver based on charge & temp.
further, the G6 has a heat pipe to help cool the entire phone including the battery, to help prevent a galaxy note scenario.
wireless charging is slow Qi spec and is NOT fast like samsung. however, slow charging over wireless is great for overnight.
I use anker's qi charging puck and it works great except I have to remove my case. same with the samsung fast charger puck. my wife doesn't have to remove the case on her S7 to do regular or fast charging. LG's design is obviously inferior for the Qi to pickup and activate the coil.
Today Amazon delivered also this Anker dual usb car charger (QuickCharge 3.0):
http://amzn.com/B01K9MQ8WW
and when LG G6 is connected it shows that is in fast charging mode.
Those who bought QC 3.0 charger and those who trying different cables with LG G6 charger, Try Cable from Oneplus 3, I get an improved charging of 10-20 minutes less compared to stock LG cable
The issue might be the cable you're using. I've had no trouble fast charging using an old ASUS QC 2.0 charger, or a cheap car QC 3.0 charger. Even when using microUSB cables with USB-C adapter tips, but I'm using decent cables (mostly Monoprice and Anker).
I've confirmed that the charger that came with my G6 is QC3.0 (model MCS-H06UR, UK 3-pin). Using a USB power meter, the voltage will increase from 5V to 9V in small steps. If I use a QC 2.0 charger (stock charger from Note4/S7edge), it will jump from 5V to 9V immediately.

How much time does it take to charge fully? Did you record time ?
I want to buy a new charger so i want to know that 25w charger supported in our mobile? Its 25w 2.85A is it okay to do fast charge??
Or give me other suggestion or give me link where can i buy
Thank you
I can't tell, by your profile, in which country you reside, but in the US, there are many available.
If you have any fast chargers, left from other phones, with the USB-A connector, give them a try.
Besides the TURBO CHARGING toast message, I use the Ampere app to check the charging level.
This phone is not as picky, as the Nexus 6P, when it comes to fast charging. The 6P had to have a USB-C to USB-C cable and charger, in order to achieve rapid charging.
The Z2 Play is much more forgiving, in that it uses USB-A to USB-C cables, so more chargers are available.
The OEM wall charger charges at 2020mA.
The Tronsmart Qualcomm 2.0 charger,
model TS WC-IQ, with an output of 2 amps, purchased from Amazon, charges at 1440mA.
The IXCC model DCB-2U, with an output of 2.4 amps, purchased from Amazon, charges at 1420mA.
The Amker Power Port 4, model AZ142, with an output of 2.4 amps max, purchased from Amazon, charges at 1380mA.
The Okray charger, model WX-41,with an output of 2 amps, purchased from Amazon, charges at 1290mA.
I use the lower level chargers over night and the higher level chargers, during the day.
Done nights, I don't put the Z2 Play on a charger, at all, because I have just returned home from a drive, where the phone was charging in a nav dock. The phone is at 99 or 100% when I go to bed at 2200 and only down to 96% when I wake up at 0500.
M from india...so which is better company original chargee takes to much time to charge...so can i use 15w 3A or 25w 2.85A?which is better?

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?
Sent from my LM-G710
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.
My wife has a LETSCOM wireless charger, that she uses without issue with her Pixel 3. It works intermittently with my Pixel 5, and I can't work out why. Often, when I put my P5 on it, the charger flashes red/blue - according to the user guide, this is "overcurrent protection". If I reboot the P5 or unplug / replug in the charger, the charger stays blue, charges the P5 with no issues. More often than not, I get the "overcurrent" issue though. I've plugged the charger into my P5 charger, using the P5 USB cable. Any thoughts?

FWIW I have an Anker wireless 10W Fast-Charging PowerWave Pad and while it fast charges other phones (S10e, and other Samsung phones).
I tried it with the Pixel 5 and it says "charging slowly". A pity really as I think it's one of the best reasonable wireless chargers out there.

Are you using the same wall plug when trying different devices on it? For the Pixel 5 to fast charge, your wall plug needs to be 9V/2A at least 18W and the pad needs to support or to be within spec of the Qi 15W Extended Power Profile, which should then allow it to fast charge on your pad at 10W. If its under 18W wall plug or only say 5V/2A, then it wont fast wireless charge the Pixel 5 due to that 15W EPP afaik :good:
Also, the Pixel 5 has max 12W wireless charging, but most pads will usually drop down if its a 15W pad for example, from 15W to 10W to 7W, 5W - or thereabouts, so I'm not sure we'll get anything above 10W wireless unless its a specific 12W pad. From my understanding at least

ah I see, so this device is QuickCharge 3, however it does not support Qualcomm's Extended Power Profile by the looks of it, so it wont fast charge any of the Pixel devices, they require EPP standard and for 10W wireless charging on the pixel 5, it must be at least 18W 9V/2A + minimum 15W EPP.
The PowerWave Pad itself looks to only use 10W Fast Charging when using a 9V/2A wall plug (which is fine for Samsung devices using QC2 or 3), however, it won't fast charge the Pixel in the same way without being certified for Qualcomm Extended Power Profile. So your Pixel will only charge at 5W on it unfortunately.
Yep! Was disappointed. I'm unsure of which non Google brand wireless chargers will wirelessly charge this thing faster than "charging slowly"
Jeez, it's a compatibility nightmare! If anyone has a fast charging wireless solution for P5, please let us know!

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
