Warning message - charger

My HTC One showed an warning message about not using the right charger! I was using the charger from my Samsung Note II. I thought HTC encouraged customers to reuse existing chargers? Anyone else seen this message before? I'll use the HTC charger now in case I mess-up the battery.

Its because the note 2 uses a higher amp 2 i think to charge.
I think it was the carriers that wanted to reuse old ones. But its best to use the one that came with your phone.

It's pretty neat that they warned you when you used a different charger cause if something messes up the battery, your only option is to replace the phone.

I certainly wouldn't want to use a charger that's running at 100% above the systems designed input level. I've been in a room when a L-Ion went boom.

has anyone tried charging from the usb port on a pc yet?

As soon as you plug the phone into a PC it is charging.. Much lower output. Never gonna be an issue

I think its fine to use different chargers , as long as it doesnt overcapacitate ur battery. Note 2's 2amp charger might be bad for the battery because faster charge times wear the battery faster

The phone decides how much current to draw, not the charger.
Imagine the phones sucks the energy instead of the charger pushing it.
Interestingly I didn't see that warning yet besides charging my One with fourdifferent chargers (old HTC, original One, Nexus 7 and a Sony one...)

How about using galaxy S2 and S3 charger I got both, is it safe for HTC one ?

Can some expert publish list of safe or compatible charger models which we can safely use for HTC one?

As someone says, phone decide how much power to draw not chargher.
Chargher just transform 230V AC to XY V DC. 2A is just max power he can provide.
But phone will draw 1.5, 1.7 i don't know how much cuz i don't own it yet.
Only problem is if you have lower power chargher then phone want to charghe is that charhing will lest for hours.

Charger acts like sophisticated pressure regulator.
Its task it to take 100-240V~ convert it to steady 5V DC and provide current. How that current is used is responsibility of device internal circuitry.

WHOOOOOSH

let's talk chargers

so i need to get a new charger for my office....and with quick charge 2.0 coming out...are there any compatible chargers out there yet for sale? obviously its not yet supported on the phone, but would rather buy 1 charger now, versus one now, one later.
if not, can anyone recommend a good charger that will hit the stock values? i think its 1.5?

I believe it is supported already by the phone. It's about hardware not software I believe...
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Yes, the M8 supports it, but HTC did not include a charger in the box for it, though they are coming out with it later.
I think, if I read the spec sheet correctly, that Quick Charge 2.0 supports 4A and higher? A 5 second search on Amazon only shows a 2.4A charger, but yeah I haven't seen too many above 2.1A.

phone comes with a 1.5a , 2.0 is 1.67a
However HTC's bundled charger, a 1.5A unit, only supports Quick Charge 1.0. So it'll still be pretty fast — significantly faster than what you're used to if you're coming from last year's HTC One (M7). But for the full Quick Charge 2.0 experience you'll need to wait for a charger accessory HTC plans to release later this year, which will support 1.67A as well as the latest Quick Charge standard.

I believe that quote from AC is meaning that HTC's charger will be 1.67A, which really isn't going to be much of a difference from the 1.5A block included. QC 2.0 should support much greater than that, at least according to Qualcomm. A 2.1A or 2.4A charger is probably your best bet for now until higher output chargers come out =\

any benefit using 2amp charger ?

Hi, im just wondering is there any benefit using a 2amp charger on the htc m8 , faster charging ? i know HTC are gonna release a faster charger which is 1.67amp , is it just the amp or it has some feature Quick Charge 2.0 built in you cant get with other chargers ?
the HTC One is rated to support Quick Charge 2.0 capable of accepting up to 60 watts of power – an increase of almost 100% compared to phones with Quick Charge 1.0. The 1.5amp charger bundled with the HTC One (M8), however, does not support Quick Charge 2.0. HTC is planning on releasing an optional 1.67amp charger accessory that will come with the technology later this year

I've used the 2.0A charger that came with my Galaxy S4 and didn't really notice the phone heating up to unusual temps.

You can use a 10A charger if you have one (and it works with your power outlet), the phone should never draw more than the maximum it draws.

I originally used the charger I got with my M8, but then switched to a 2.5amp charger. According to GSam, my time to charge from around 80% to full is around 15 mins, but with the original charger, it was around 30 mins.
So from my experience, it does charge faster. From what I have read about QC2, the technology is in the processor in the phone. The charger can be any type, as long as it is able to deliver up to 60 watts.
See here - http://www.zdnet.com/qualcomms-quick-charge-2-0-offers-75-percent-faster-charging-7000026519/

The tech is actually in both the phone AND the wall charger:
From http://www.qualcomm.com/chipsets/quick-charge
"While Quick Charge 1.0 rests in the devices only, Quick Charge 2.0 resides in both the device, offered as a standalone IC solution or as part of the PMIC (power management integrated circuit) of Snapdragon™ 800 processors, and in the AC/DC wall charger."
The one you link is worded a little ambiguously:
"Qualcomm hopes to take things further by integrating Quick Charge 2.0 technology into standard micro-USB AC/DC wall chargers. These chargers will look and work like standard chargers, but will be able to deliver Quick Charge to compatible devices."
I tripped on it a couple times when reading it too, but it's implying that the tech does not currently reside in standard chargers, since they're still working on integrating it.

guess i will get the HTC fast charger when out and i bet we should get compatible quick charge 2.0 chargers too
Thanks

The amperage of the charger makes no difference, the device will only ever draw the power it requires to charge, no more. so a 5a charger would be no different to a 2a charger if the phone only draws 1.5a for example. find out what the device needs to charge and get as close as you can to that size for protection reasons

Yes, it will charge it faster. I used my 2amp charger and it did charge it faster. The phone may have some protection built in to protect the phones hardware. But the battery can handle much higher charge rates and the battery shouldn't start heating up till 20-30 amps. Yes, that's right.
I use Li-poly to race electric RC's and we charge them up to 50 amps. This charger will --->http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__46368__iCharger_308DUO_1300W_Dual_Channel_8s_Balance_Charger.html
Most people only charge at 5-10 amps, but to get peak performance, you will need to create a bit of heat and that doesn't happen till 20-30 amps.

Since I jumped from my old note 3tothe m8 I was able to keep the charger and it's a 2A one. Will I get the full 2.0 benefits with it or must I wait for the HTC one?

You will get whatever amp the M8 can take. i assume its 2A
I have a 2amp charger and i use it for my M8. i only see about a 30 min different from using a 1amp charger.

Its not just Amps, quickcharge 2.0 Also bumps up voltage. I tested multiple combinations with my htc one M8, here are my findings:
Quickcharge 2.0 18W Aukey (with regular micro usb cable): 9v/1.1A (~10w)
Quickcharge 2.0 18W Aukey (with data cut off cable): 5v/1.52A (~7.5w)
Wall 5v 2.4A charger: 5v/1.52A (~7.5w)
Stock 5v 1A charger: 5v/0.99A (~5w)
Car 5v 2A charger: 5v/1.3A (~6.5w)
some old 5v 700mA charger: 5v/0.7A (~3.5w)
MacBook Air USB port (2013) (with regular micro usb cable): 5v/500mA (~2.5w)
MacBook Air USB port (2013)(with data cut off cable): 5v/1A (~5w)
Ipad charger rated 5.2V/2.3A : 5v/1A (~5w) (no clue why its so sucky)
Also I noticed m8 once connected to charger (non Quickcharge 2.0) slowly increases charge current. if voltage drops below 4.92v it drops it back to these fixed values, whichever is immediate lower: 3oomA, 500mA, 700mA, 1A, 1.3A, 1.42A. 1.52A
these values are as per multimeters.
my car charger is tricky, it sometimes just falls to 1A instead of 1.3 as it border lines V to 4.92 while at 1.3Amps. (it is rated for 2.4A)

Dude... This thread you replied to is a YEAR old!

Quickcharge 2.0 Chargers

Anyone know of one available for the M8? From what I understand the M8 currently has the feature disabled however according to the qualcomm site they recently launched the 2.0 charger.

Hi, Qualcomm announced the availability of its 2.0 charger in Europe this summer. No specific date.

I bought one of those BlackBerry chargers and it's scary fast. I didn't know a phone could charge that quickly. I am genuinely a little afraid of it, that it'll ruin the battery. Phone doesn't get exceptionally warm charging with it, but why all this fuss about Quick Charge 2.0 if this $5 BlackBerry charger can charge in equal or less time? Surely there must be something dangerous about it.

I think the temperature difference between the original charger and the blackberry is about 2-3 degrees. For example when I charge the phone the battery temperature is 37-39 degrees.

Thanks for the info, but if it's as minimal as you say, which presumably shouldn't harm the battery (people set their thermostats to wider differences than that) then what's the big deal about Quick Charge 2.0? Just give everyone power supplies like the Motorola one. Is there some other factor which could harm the battery that temperature alone wouldn't indicate?

Looks like a standard 5V 2A charger. Have you measured it against another 2A charger to see if it's quicker? Trying to work out what's different.
By the way, the difference between this and QuickCharge 2.0 is 4 volts. Quick Charge 2.0 will deliver 9v 2a. So technically should be quicker then this PlayBook charger.
I believe the HTC bundled charger is actually a Quick Charge 1.0 compatible (1.5A) charger. Quick Charge 2.0 however is disabled at present. So apparently we won't be able to make use of any Quick Charge 2.0 chargers until a software update is sent out by HTC, as there is a chip integrated in to the wall charger which works in tandem with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip in the M8 for the feature to work.

Hehe, you wish!! Official statement from Qualcomm is: "3300mAh battery 0-60% in 30min" but after that is slowing down to protect battery from overheating... So I would say 0-100% in 1hr.. Still damn fast! 9V can make the difference...

Well, need to have a thermometer handy Also depends on the ambient temperature of the room and the surface upon which it is placed. Also depends on which stage of charging it is in. During the 0% to 50/60% charging stage, it can be quite hot to the touch. As in uncomfortable to hold. But then it cools down as the rate of charging slows down until it reaches 100%. During the 60-100% it is hardly noticeable that it's charging.

Fresh out of infrared temperature guns here
Just my own observations, that at any point during charging, I've never noticed it becoming 'really hot'. Granted, ambient temperature plays a part, as whilst charging in vehicle with satnav running it'll get quite hot. But under normal charging conditions, it should not be getting really hot.

Well the slimmest ones are about the same dimensions as the phone but thicker, 5000mah, and are usually only 1A. So that would only get you something like 1.5 charges at a slow speed.
I would go with something like a 10000mah capacity. Those are usually 2.4A and now support Quick Charging 3.0 making it good for possible future devices. It'll also get you a good 3 whole charges at a decently fast speed. It's also still relatively pocketable especially compared to the bigger ones.
I have the older QC 2.0 version of this paired with a short 1 foot USB-A to type-C cable:

Yep, I don't exactly know if it identifies as "fast charging" but I really does charge pretty quickly..

If you're using a type A to type C cable, it'll only charge at a 1.8A or 2.0A with 5V rate and not hit 3A mark. It might say "Charging rapidly" but actual numbers are lower than the stock charger. Basically, at 15% over 60 minutes (with the screen off and no use) you'll probably be around 70%. Stock gets you to 90%.

K I'll give that a shot. Hopefully it works. It seems that the adaptor isn't working even when I put in a cord that goes to a wall outlet.

Wow! What a difference that cord makes. Thanks again. I think it may work on the battery.

Got myself a Xiaomi 20.000mah powerbank a few weeks ago. Works very good and I am able to charge my phone around 5/6 times. The phone doesn't say 'Fast charging', but I think it is pretty fast. Would definitely recommend.

Used it camping for a few days, charged it up two full times, took about an hour to get to about 95%

Plain and simple but alot useful.
I am using Kingston Mobilelite Wireless G2 (I think there is G3 now)
Powerbank, SD card, USB, Wifi/LAN bridge in one.
I can stream music/video, copy files and charge at the same time.

I would recommend buying Xiaomi Powerbank 10000 mAh Pro - it's designed for USB-C devices and charges Nexus 5X really well.
