Question Is it safe to use USB-USB C fast charging plug with Samsung a54? - Samsung Galaxy A54 5G

Hi there.
I recently purchased a Samsung A54 and noticed that it came with USB-c to USB-c charger. It did not come with the plug. I have been using a normal USB-USB c cable and original Samsung fast charger from an older device to charge the phone (as i do not yet have access to a USB C plug). I have noticed that the charger becomes extremely hot and makes a buzzing sound. The charger also cuts out and restarts again multiple times during the charging process. Is it safe to use the USB charger or do I need to buy a USB-C charger?
Thanks so much

Just replace the charger. It's a lot cheaper than the phone.
I've had good results with the Anker Nano series.

I'd expect this to be the charger anyway and not from the phone with it.
I use the A53 with my old Samsung 15 watt fast charger and the cable that charger came with just fine. There's no problem. The a54 should be no different.
So, I expect the charger to have a problem.

This must be an issue with the charging brick, get the Anker C-Type Charger. Its the best in the game!

I got the Samsung Charger brick with the phone but I use the Anker Charger anyways! Ive had this for more than a year and I use this as my primary charging brick. Never faced any issue so far.

I was using my old Oneplus Warp charger (65W) and was also getting heating, and phone would only charge for like 10 mins before stopping.
Bought a Belkin 25W USB-C brick and all my issues went away

It may just be a higher quality USB cable. I bought a monoprice gold plated cable with a ferrite core and it works great!
It got higher ampere, but doesn't note 3 have usb 3.0 charger cable out of the box? anyway, i believe it's a 2.0 amp adapter.
BUT, do you mean just the cable or? because some cables are poor quality, and not delivering all the power to the phone, chinese cables for example does (some cheap ones).
I dont recommend to fast charge if possible, try to charge your phone as much slow as possible (with slow, i dont mean charging from pc, just dont use those fast-charge options and/or high ampere adapters, it could decrease battery capacity, and overheat the phone during charging. I did some experiment with my stock charger with 2.0 amp, and another stock samsung charger which is 1.5amp, and it charged slower, but guess what? my battery somewhat feels like it lasts longer. Maybe i feel.

Quick Charge 3.0 & "Charging rapidly"

So I've now purchased a wall charger and a car charger that both have QC 3.0 and claim to support the HTC 10, but neither of them show the "Charging rapidly" when charging my device. Only when I use the original charger or an external battery with QC 3.0 does it display that. Is it possible that it's still charging using QC 3.0 while charging if it doesn't display the "Charging rapidly" on the lock screen? I really just want a car charger and additional wall charger with multiple ports that will rapidly charge my HTC 10. I'm really sick of buying accessories that do not when they say they support the HTC 10.
These are the accessories I've tried and none of them will display "Charging rapidly":

THIS is a good multi port charger I have one and it quick charges and displays on the phone it is. I use this cable on it.
For a car charger I use THIS and it quick charges no problem with THIS cable
I am wondering the same thing... what does a cable or charger need to provide fast charging... I wonder if it's the cables because I got one from amazon and use it with the htc charger that came with the phone and it does not "quick charge," it only does it with the cable it came with. I bought this one:

I just made sure they were the latest cables, the ones you linked to are USB 2.0 and 480mbps. while I made sure to get USB 3.1 to USB 3.0 cables and have 5gbps. I know the speeds really don't have much to do with charging say, but I think the generation of cable has a lot to do with it

Hmmm.... good point, if someone could confirm this maybe? Does make much more sense, I guess I should've read better. I will just get one of your cables because I just recently bought a QC 3.0 car charger and there's no point in it if it ain't fast charging.
So the Aukey multi-port charger came with a USB-C cable and it claims to support the HTC 10, so it's infuriating that it doesn't work.
I use this wall charger and it shows "charging rapidly" on the screen. I have an older cable with the micro usb connection, so I use this adapter to make the connection to the phone. Combined, they work like a charm.

Are you using a USB-C to USB-C cable? those accessories only have quick charging on the USB-C port. If you buy new ones make sure to check what ports support the QC 3.0. Sometimes the only have one port that has the QC and the rest are normal 2 amp ports.
I've just ordered the Aukey 6 port USB Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Charging Station from Amazon UK (link below), so I'll test it once it comes in and post here with the results. One thing I noticed is that the Aukey hub only supports QC3.0 on the USB-C plugs, not the USB2 ports. I'll be using this to charge my HTC 10 and my Pixel C using the USB-C ports and USB-C cables for both devices so I can see if both QC3.0 AND USB-C Rapid Charging works at the same time. The remaining USB2 ports I'll use to plug my Qi charging pads into and my smartwatch charger. Looking forward to not having so many plugs lying around.

I'll let you all know once it all comes.
Okay, so I just got delivery for all my bits in my previous post. I've made sure both my HTC 10 and my Google Pixel C ran down the battery to 20% on each and plugged them both into the USB-C ports on the Aukey charging station using USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cables, both 3 foot long. I'm not using any of the cables that came with my tablet or phone or the USB-C 2.0 cable that comes with the Aukey charging station, I am using Belkin USB-C to USB-C 3.1 cables.
Using the Belkin USB-C 3.1 cables both my HTC 10 and Pixel C show Charging Rapidly after around 45 seconds on the lock screen with a time remaining counter.
Using the Aukey USB-C 2.0 cable that came with the Aukey charging station I do not get Charging Rapidly at all on my HTC 10, I only get "Charging" and a percentage.
However, I do get Charging Rapidly with time remaining counter on my Pixel C when using the Aukey USB-C 2.0 cable.
Based purely on my own testing, I would make sure you use high quality cables, preferably the 3.1 gen cables and then nothing will be slow. I have no idea why the USB-C 2.0 cable doesn't like to Quick Charge my HTC 10, and I don't have any other gen 2.0 USB-C cables to try out, so sorry about that.
I hope that helps some of you out.

Mine does not show Charging Rapidly even though I use HTC supplied charger and cable! Do I need to activate it or what? I am using and EU plug converter to my US charger, might that be the problem, although I doubt it just passes on the same supply, its not a frequency/voltage converter.
Thank you for your help!

I'll check tonight and let you know later, but I'm pretty sure that the charger that comes the HTC 10 in the box is NOT a Quick Charge 3.0 Rapid Charger... Which would explain why you are not seeing "Charging Rapidly" with the original charger and USB cable. I may be wrong, but I will let you know either way in this thread as it is honestly something that I did not look at when I got my phone. Mine is a UK model bought in-store in the UK so what you get in the box may vary depending on the region you purchased from.
Cheers

The supplied HTC charger and cable are QC 3.0 compatible. They show "Charging rapidly" when I connect my phone.
The iClever 24w QC 3.0 charger works with the orange-e 3.1 usb c. It displays "chargin rapidly". This is probably unrelated, but the charger doesn't show it as chargin rapidly, but the phone does.

The supplied charger is definitely a quick charge 3.0 charger, it even says it on the power brick. It doesn't matter what region you are in, all of them come with a quick charge 3.0 charger.

Yup, you are correct. Just got home and plugged my charger in and it too shows "Charging Rapidly". COol, now I have a backup in case my Aukey stops working for whatever reason.
@fidanhGPE I'm not sure why yours doesn't show as Charging Rapidly when using your original charger, possibly something wrong with your handset maybe? Sorry I can't be of more help to you as all mine works fine with the original HTC supplied charger and HTC USB-A to USB-C charging cable, and also with the Aukey charging station and a USB-C to USB-C Gen 3.1 cable.
Cheers
Having a Nexus 6P, I was under the impression "rapid charging" only worked with a type-c to type-c charger..?

It might be the converter because you should get "Charging rapidly" when using the charger and cable that came with the phone (that is still weird though), and yes they are Quick Charge 3.0 compatible like the other person mentioned above.

I checked it, it QC 3.0 and it is charging rapidly, though I get it only on the power/battery settings only, no notification when I plug it in.
On another note, do you know if I can use old (normal) car chargers on HTC 10? Will it charge the phone, although I am not expecting a quick charge there? Will it harm the phone?

Nah man just make sure you have a type a to type C usb cable that has that 56ohm resistor crap to make sure your phone will be fine. Phone will charge just fine. I actually just got a QC 3.0 car charger as well and it doesn't charge THAT much faster than an old car charger I had.

HTC 10 having trouble to charge on 1A charger

Hello everyone,
I noticed that my HTC 10 (Europe Unlocked FW 1.80) has trouble charging on 1A chargers, the charging LED blink every 5-10 seconds.
It does work fine with a 1.5A charger and the bundled quick charger (2.5A). It did also work fine when attached to the laptop directly.
Did you also experience this behavior?
I have original HTC wall charger 5V-1A and HTC charges without problems on factory cable.
On non complaint, cheap usbA to usb type C cables the led is blinking and not charging.
I have charged my HTC10 on a 1A charger many times and everytime without problem.
Interesting, I am also using an original HTC charger with the bundled cable and I do get the issue.
Are you by any chance also running the 1.80 ROM?
Today I updated to .401, I have EU phone. No charge issues, my phone charges slowly from this 1A charger right now.

How did you measure the actual current?
How did you establish that the actual output is 1A?

I did simply read what was written on the charger and assumed that it would be correct. I did carry on with my investigations, and the phone charges fine with a lot of charger (including Samsung & apple 1A). It just fail with 3 old HTC ones rated 1A.
Did you tried to move the usb plug in the charger to determine if it is connected properly? Do that and watch if the red led on the phone lights up.
Yes, I did move the charger it does not help.
The red LED is active for about 10 seconds, then it stops, and after 2 seconds it lights again.
But in the end I don't mind - I just use other chargers
@cavist: Out of curiosity, are you on 110W or 230W?
I am on 230V, I have eu spec, original HTC charger from my M7 bundle, I noticed that one of my cables ordered online has something wrong with the connector and I need to move it in the charger to get it working so I thought, maybe the HTC charger wear quite quickly and some connector can not fully connect with the paths.
All my other type C cables are fine with it. I use this charger to charge my M10 over night and the QC3.0 charger to quickly charge on the desktop.
I have been charging my 10 every night on a Samsung original 1A charger + original HTC USB A to C cable. No issues at all.
I recently bought some cheap USB A to C cables, and the phone won't charge unless I pull the USB A end slightly out from the Samsung 1A charger.
But the cheap cable works fine with my other chargers, so I presume it's a mechanical tolerance issue between the Samsung 1A USB A jack & the USB A end of my cheap cable.

Which car charger

Do you have any recommendation for car charger (cigarette lighter plug)?
One with fast charger feature which is compatible with Google Pixel 2 (USB-C PD?).
For my old Nexus 6, I must use car charger with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, because otherwise the Nexus 6 will still loosing power when using car navigation software. Standard car charger cannot keep up with the battery drain.
Thanks.
I came from a Nexus 6 too. I ended up buying micro USB to usb-c mini adapters which just go on the end of my old USB leads. I threw one on the car charger and it works fine. It's a stop Gap measure, and I mainly got it for an ihome Android charger/radio, but ended up wrapping duct tape around a usb-c charger cable and putting it in the radio dock.

I use the Aukey QC 3.0 car charger with dual 3.0 USB ports. It does not register as rapid charging but it is very quick. I used it with Moto Z Droid and used Google navigation while charging and it charges quick and does not lose charge. I also use the Aukey 3.0 wall charger and that does register as rapid charging.
I just bought a Deltaco (a Scandinavian brand) 3A/5V 15W car charger for 6,5 USD. Can't feel much difference compared to the original home charger's 18W using a 2. Gen Goobay 60W USB C-C cable.
Phone registers the input as rapid charging.
Ampere registers 2.7A with the screen on. Same as the standard charger, so I didn't find any reason why it should be worse

I bought the Nekteck 5.4 amp charger https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CH9NEM2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The curly cord is hard wired and side mounted with a USB C plug on the end, it charges my Pixel 2 fast (charging rapidly). I had issues with other chargers and cables that wouldn't charge my Pixel 2 at full speed, this one works great. Also, it has a USB A port on the top so you can rapidly charge two devices at the same time.
The Verizon branded one works really great. Charges very fast.
Any update on these?

Well, I waited too long and it is out of stock, but it looks like I may have avoided a bad purchase according to this supposed Google Engineer's review:

I think the hard wired C cabled chargers are the safest bet because of all the dicey 3rd party C cables out there.
I just got the $10 Monoprice USB C charger with PD (9v 3A) because it is rated to charge the at least as fast as the in-box wall charger. Not shilling for Monoprice, just seemed like a better deal than all the sketchy chargers on Amazon with fake reviews, none of which offered anything but 5v 3A or worse at under $25. I figure it's trustworthy because they say it's certified and Benson tested their cables and said they were OK. So far it has not tried to burn my car down or nuke my phone. I'm using it with the 0.5m Monoprice cable, it was about $17 with tax for the bundle. I can't post links, search 24424 on Monoprice.
So I've been googling around and trying to research this as much as I could but I'm still not sure of the answer so I was wondering if I could get some answers here. By the way, apologies if my terminology about the different connections are incorrect at any point in my post.
So I originally bought this Aukey car charger with Qualcomm 3.0 quickcharge (LINK) with 2 outlets for a USB Type-A connection to be plugged into it to charge 2 devices. I originally used it for my old phone that used a Micro-USB connection. After I got my Pixel 2, I needed new cables with its USB-C connection. I went and got these Anker USB-A to USB-C cables (LINK) so that I could charge with these cables or to connect my phone to my PC. Now, I've read that older Anker USB-C cables have had issues but from doing some more reading that these have been fixed I believe.
I am planning on using the Aukey charger mentioned above, and then plugging in one of the Anker USB-A to USB-C to charge my phone and was wondering if it'll be a safe combination? From some googling around and research, it seems it won't charge as fast as the wall charger (which is amazingly fast btw) or a USB-PD connection but that's perfectly fine as I don't need it to be as quick. I'm just cautious because I've read about the potential issues with using a bad charger with a not-up-to-standard cable (like something that isn't necessarily verified by Benson Leung or something). I don't care/need USB-PD charging (which I assume is where it uses a dedicated USB-C cable coming from the charger or a separate USB-C to USB-C cable connecting the cable to charger), as long as the combination I just mentioned works.

It will charge your phone just fine, but as you said, it will not fast charge. I use a similar setup now as I continue to look for the right PD car charger.

It will charge your phone just fine, but as you said, it will not fast charge. I use a similar setup now as I continue to look for the right PD car charger.

You guys should both look at 24424 on Monoprice. That QC charger isn't going to fast charge no matter what, I used one with a Tronsmart branded USB C to Micro B adapter that Benson recommended no problems though. They have a cheaper non-PD charger too, but why bother?

I'm sorry, I don't understand. If we already have charger that aren't PD compliant then why do you recommend buying another?
I plan to get this one since it had strong reviews and tests:
GearMo 75W QC 3.0 & USB Type C Power Delivery (PD) Car Charger works with: MacPro,Chromebook,Galaxy s8 s7 Edge Plus,Note 8,LG G6 G5 V20 V30,HTC 10,a9,8,Pixel 2 XL,Nexus,iPhone 7,iPad. FCC Approved https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07115BLPP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bSiBAb2H2P7W0

A USB C charger 5v 3W standard will still charge faster than a USB A QC charger, but it's only $3 less on Monoprice for the non-PD one. I don't see anything on usb DOT org listing GearMo on the certified power brick chart. I wouldn't risk it. There's no reason to put a USB 3.0 A-type port on a charger, seems fishy to me.
This one looks promising as well:

[Q] Need a new charger - where should I look for a good one?

Hi.
Two questions:
1. Where should I look for one?
Found this on Ali-express but wanted your opinion:
http://bit.ly/2ze7U2U
2. Regarding the cable: are all cables the same? Or is this (in link - the one that comes with the OPO) different (can move more current)?
Trying to save where I can
Thank you!

I recommend using original charger and cable.

Thank you for this.
I have been using a 5V 2.1A charger (from Belkin) but with a "regular" old Samsung micro-usb cable and it took 6 hours to charge till full.
I can't imagine it's right.
Perhaps a new, more powerful cable?
Also, how long should it take to fully charge the One?
Thank you!!! :good:

if you use cable that support fast charge you can charge your phone less then 2 hour...just get a cable that support fast charge or support quick charge 2.0 and you will see the difference....
getting a good cable makes all the difference. I'm not sure if it is due to Lineage, firmware or the kernel... but my OPO has been very picky with the charging cable for at least the last 9 months. I first noticed this when my Jaybird Bluebuds X flat short cable charged significantly faster (then i lost the cable). then on some cables, it would say it's charging but the percentage would remain constant or even drop at a slower rate! I then tried different cables and charger combinations using the the AccuBattery app and OPO Charging Current app to note the ampere.
the xiaomi fast charging micro usb 1.2m flat cable is cheap and charges "fast". I highly recommend the xiaomi cable (i even bought like 4 of them for the office and for home).
paired with new-ish samsung quick charge chargers (which came with the S7 and C5 Pro that i had lying around), i get about 1.58A (screen off).... i also get comparable results with an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger from like 2011 and an ipad 3 charger.

Thank you all for the great information!!!
Are you guys approve of this cable:

well I went with blitzwolf ...I don't use my original charger as blitzwolf is faster(just a tad but still) ...BW-S5 is my main and I've ordered an BW-S9(I'll make BW-S5 a second to charge my phone in my shop and also charge clients phones/tablets if needed - I fix them too)
BW-S5 has an extended review from a dude with all the pros and cons ...great review if you want to look at it(he'll do the S9 as well but didn't receive it yet and I couldn't wait, I needed a good 2nd one)
P.S. Using custom cable made by me to avoid getting slow charges(only power cable, no data - for safety too)
I'm on this charger: http://s.aliexpress.com/qeaIfIrE and reversible micro USB cable from the same manufacturer (reversible micro usb seems to be not available to buy any longer though, I can see regular micro usb only)
Both are excellent.

Can we hear more about your custom cable?
Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger
Hi anybody who want to use a longer cable (1.8m -3m) without losing the charging speed, I would recommend Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger. You would be able to increase the charging speed up to 10-15%.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CHO...er-for-iPhone-Samsung-Xiaomi/32742790687.html
This charger can supply up to 5.5V to compensate USB cable resistance (especially when using a longer cable).
https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Choetech usb 5V 2.4A SMT0008 UK.html
Don't forget a good quality cable as well for fast charging. Up to 1.5m 22AWG is OK, but over 1.5m get a 20-21 AWG cable. If you want to learn about cable resistance during charging the below article is helpful.
https://goughlui.com/2014/10/01/usb-cable-resistance-why-your-phonetablet-might-be-charging-slow/
I myself use Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A with a Tronsmart 20AWG 1.8m cable. I have tested some cables: Mageek 21AWG 3m, Blitzwolf 21AWG 1.8m, Ugreen 22AWG 1.5m all of them are OK. Avoid VoxLink cables !! their "fast cable" uses fake 24-28AWG!
