With qualcom quick change coming out, I'm wondering if it's possible to port the battery settings from the Z3 to work with our Z1's. Would it just be a case of copying from a Z3 rom or would it need tweaking? If at all possible.

hi,
I've been wanting a phone that can do wireless charging for a while.
This leaves me with 2 options : pogo pins (Nexus one, HTC one X, Xpeira Z), or capacitive charging (palm touchstone)
Both are possible to mod in the back of the phone, but i need a way to get the power into the phone. Hence my quesition. Does anybody know what these 4 connection points in the attached image are used for. I'm hoping this is a USB connector, but I haven't found the time to measure it myself.
tia,

Is it safe to charge the Z3 Compact with a magnetic charging cable and micro usb at the same time? Wondering if this could be an alternative to get faster charging since I can't find any Quick Charger in my country.
Use search. And this does not belong here in the General Section.
It shouldn't work. I think only one cable will work and I haven't seen anything against using two cables at once in manual. So you can try and post result here I guess.
Hi my son has got a Z1 & the charging port pins have broken off, I have bought a charging dock but this doesn't seem to want to still charge the phone? Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thank you
USB port and magnetic port are different.
I'm sure u can charge with magnectic /dock

Unfortunately dock arrive today and still not charging
do you have this app called DIAGNOSTICS?
You can check CHARGING from there, if your phone still has batt...
Then connect charger and see if it detects..
So i love my nexus 6 because i can fully charge it in less than 2 hours with factory charger.
i also use a 28aw usb port and it makes it even faster with the factory adapter.
with all these new phones that are coming out (n5 2015) and supposedly they'd be using USB.C, does that mean that charge time will improve even more than quick charge 2.0 or would it stay the same? Is USB.C mostly faster data transfer or will it be "quick charge 3.0"?
Would someone explain it to me as i'm dying to find out how much faster phones will charge with USB.C, if any.
Thanks coming your way!
Far as I know USB-C is only the connection. Reversible. Don't have to figure out which end of cable to connect. To change charging rate is internal to device hardware and software.
that is one of the benefits. but from USB's website, it also increases speed from 3.0 to 3.1 drastically so i'm hoping to see some numbers!
It's going to depend on the power management chip that is in whatever the device is.
From my understanding it should also make charging and transferring data faster but not sure how much faster. It will probably be determined by the other hardware built into said device.
can't wait to see what it's going to be like.
universal is the way of the future.
I think how fast you can charge a battery depends on how much current the battery can effectively handle. I don't think it has much to do with the type of connector (usb-c) or the USB spec (3.1)
...except that we're already at the limit of micro-USB with tablets. It's why you have some manufacturers using proprietary charging connectors on their android tablets in order to get reasonable charge times for such massive batteries. The connector is very much a limiting factor after a point.
Whether we reach that point with current battery tech in phone-sized application is another issue.
As far as usb fast charge from a computer usb port it should make no difference. That is controlled by the kernel. For wall and QI charge need the upcoming Qualcom Fast Charge 3.0 that is in the new chips.
Hi,
I've got an old Samsung Galaxy s4 (i9506) and I would like to use it in my kitchen as multimedia center connected to a TV using a MHL cable. The problem is that phone detects it as USB so it charges only at 500 mA max, and it drains battery quicker.
I've been searching all around, and I didn't find any kernel that supports fast charge for USB ports for this phone... In fact I only found arter97 kernel, obviously not maintained for a long time...
So the question is... is there any easy way to enable fast charge in this phone? I know there's a c patch code available to add fast charge support to any kernel... and arter97 source code is also available, but I don't have enough skills to do it myself...
Ok. I was wrong... There's more kernels around than I though initially, and there's one ported from Note 3 with fast charge feature included:

I post it just in case someone faces same doubt.
bye!
