[Q] Charge status question..

Hi.
Sorry for this noobish question but I really don't have any idea if this thing is charging or not -- I have attach an image when device is powered off.. though it looks like it is charging but every time I turn the device on it says that it is not charging on status settings menu, and got that "Connect your charger" on the lock screen.

Sounds as if insufficient current.
Are you using original wall charger?

No. My sister give this to me but she forget to send the wall charger, so what I'm using is my current HTC adapter. So this is how tab works? lol. Darn. I thought chargers are all the same.

My charger (original) is rated at 2.0A
I think it does need rather high current.

you can charge it with lower current as long as you turn off your tab (just like what you are doing in the picture), but it will take at least half a day to charge it.

You can probably charge it slightly faster by connecting it to the computer with Fast Charge enabled. FWIW my Tab charges just fine with a 650ma, a 1A, and the 2A stock charger.

What Car charger?

I need to buy one, think that the stock charger is 1.2A. Is thatt correct?
Can you recommend one? Thx.

Yes, the stock charger is 1.2A but you don't need exactly to have a 1.2A charger, can be lower.
Better above 0.7A (included), otherwise you'll have the phone in "low charge".

I use the one that came with my Defy

I dont think I can get a official again. Cuz we dont have a repsenter here.

check you adapter
output of original x8 charger is (5.5V | 850mA)
if output of xperia ray charger is same like x8 then it cant hurt your phone :good:

To be more specific if the charger output is equal OR more than 850mA, it will be good. If less, then the charger gets hot because the phone wants to get more "A" than the charger designed for. Note that it must be 5.5V.

Charging with USB cable

Hello!
Did anyone notice that after update to MK7 one can charge the watch only with the supplied charger?
I tried generic USB cable with generic USB charger and stuf ain't chargin' any more.
Perfectly fine with the supplied charger.
Any ideas what Sammy came up with this time?

I can charge just fine with a USB cable.

And me, tried 6 different ones.
They all worked.

Hmmmm.
And you have the latest firmware XXUAMK7, right?

I can charge with any. How many have you tried?
Maybe the other one you tried doesn't work? Try another?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

Tried two, both work fine with the phone.
Not home now but will try them off usb port in laptop (500mA). Phone chargers ar 1A (2A for note 2 & 3). Gear's charger is only 350mA, maybe they built in damage prevention from too high currents?

I charge it with my note 3 power block and my S4 cord and it works perfect. Charges super quick.

Yeah, charges fine with USB port from the laptop.
For those that it works from phone chargers - it used to work as well before MK7 update. Are you sure you are on MK7??

I've noticed with some chargers...the gear will not display a charging icon, but the unit will charge. If this happens, you may power off the gear, and then you will receive a charging animation on your unsupported? charger.

Is the official accessory supporting QuickCharge 2.0 out yet?

Is it? I couldn't find it in my searching the webs. I seem to be a pretty pathetic researcher because even all my searches for Amazon and forums, all I could find was articles saying there is a separate charger which supports Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0, but no link in them
Can anyone help me (if it's released at all) by giving me an amazon link for it? Thanks

Is it? I thought that the one that comes with the phone is 3.5w or lower but that one is 7.5w

You might want to have a go at reading yourself.
It means it is the same shape as the original charger. The charger in the link is 7.5w which is higher than the 5w that the charger in the box has hence the reason it is called a 'fast charger' and not just called a 'charger'
See photo of the charger that came with the phone.

The problem is the website. It's not advertising very well. It leads you to believe it's a "new" product yet says it's the same one as comes in box.
Very confusing. I certainly would not rush to order until it's confirmed this is indeed the Quick Charge 2.0 variant were waiting for.
Irritatingly it doesn't state the voltage or amps output. We'd know for sure then. I would expect the Quick Charge 2.0 charger to have s higher wattage to be honest.

HTC is on record stating that it's not merely a matter of the quick charge 2.0 adapter but also a software patch that will come "later this year". So even if you managed to obtain a suitable charger from Japan or Taiwan it would just charge at normal speed until HTC releases or leaks the patch.

Higher current chargers will charge faster regardless of patch. That's basic electrical principles.
However to take advantage of Quick Charge 2.0 which is a feature built in to the handset and the charger will require a software patch.

Again read the title, it is a 7.5w charger and the one that comes with the phone is 5w, now I'm sure you know the difference between the two.

Higher then 7.5w.

"Products with Quick Charge 2.0 can charge up to 75 percent faster than products without the technology. While Quick Charge 1.0 technology, with about 10 watts of power, was designed primarily for smartphones and tablets, Quick Charge 2.0 delivers up to 60 watts, not only improving charge times for smartphones and tablets, but adding support for larger mobile computing devices like slim notebooks."
Sounds like a Quick Charge 1.0 to me.

W = V * A
Watt = Volt * Amperage
The charger in the box I got (and on the screenshot poster earlier) produces 5V 1.5A ->
5 * 1.5 = 7.5
In other words, the one in the box already is 7.5W, and the one advertised on the website posted earlier is exactly the same!
Chargers which output more Amperage (2.0A for instance) charge the device faster.
These chargers include but are not limited to indeed the Blackberry Playbook Charger, Samsung chargers and a LOT of off-market chargers.
The Quickcharge 2.0 standard can charge even faster than these chargers, but as has been mentioned a lot of times, they are not out yet, and even if they were we would still need the software update from HTC

*applauds* finally someone else that understands! Was beginning to think I was alone xD
Not sure where GTCC was getting 5w from to be honest, probably confusing watts and volts as the in the box charger is 5v @ 1.5a.
Honestly think that website is just playing a game to sell more chargers by advertising the watts value, something which is not normally advertised over volts and amps.
