Motorola Turbo Charger

It looks like the Motorola Turbo Charger is going to be the first Quick Charge 2.0 charger available in the states. Do anyone know if the M8 need a software update for Quick Charge 2.0 to work? 34.99 is not bad if I can charge my phone fully within 15-30 minutes.

What I saw said in 30 minutes of charging, you get 8 hours usage back. My M8 charges in an hour from nearly nothing. And I get about 20 hours a charge.
Just search for 2A chargers. There's one on Newegg that is $5 shipped. I ordered three, one was a dud. Ain't even mad, took its cord and stuck it in one of the others (they all have two ports). Now my wife can charge her phone and her tablet at the same time.

Indeed it does need a software update for QC 2.0 to be enabled. There is a post on this forum from someone who bought the NTT Docomo charger from Japan and it didn't charge any faster than a 1.5A or 2A charger.

Highly Disappointing. I ordered my Motorola charger this morning and didn't realize it would not work without a software update. Very sad.

Didn't they already launched that update, to support the feature?

If they did, I missed it. I hope you are right! I'll have to dig around.

Why not ask htc support directly?

I just confirmed with HTC support and we can use whatever quick-charge 2.0 (qualcomm certified) we wish, the phone is already prepared for that. I also asked if and when would they launch one and they said they have no info regarding that .
I would much prefer buying a HTC one than paying 35 bucks for the motorola one.

I was wondering... This charge don't damage battery?
samo sie wyslalo

If it did, would they launch this technology?

It surely limits the number of charge cycles before the capacity dips below 80% of what it started with. The more current the hotter it gets, batteries do not like heat. It accelerates their degradation. I reckon it is not intended for daily charging but to quickly get an 80% charge from time to time.

The Quick-charge only boosts the speed it chargers from 0 to 30 per cent, then it decreases the speed so that dosent happen.

What was the outcome? Will it blend?

Quick charger ability? like moto turbo charger

Will the Sony Z3c have the ability to fast charge?
It has the supported chipset 'Qualcomm Snapdragon 801'
Wonder if the moto turbo charger will work, or if Sony will bring out their own variant.

Sony's included EP880 charger outputs 1.5 amps and I've read that it provides 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Not sure if that's exactly quick charge but it should be faster then a regular 1 amp charger.

In the latest phonearena review (today) it says:
Sony also claims that the Z3 Compact has fast charging capabilities and can get 60 minutes of talk time from a 10 minute charge. Stay tuned for more details on charging speeds soon.

well i found this on a google search https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/smartphones/sony-xperia-z3-compact

Nothing scientific, but I am using a Blackberry Playbook charger (1.8A output) and this thing charges FAST. I can gain like 40% charge in 30 minutes or so.

I can confirm that it charges fast. Full charge in less than 2 hours this morning.
Some days ago i charged it for 20 minutes in the morning and got 25% more juice. At the end of the day, with moderate use (taking into account that this is my new favourite toy) I had only lost 20%.
I don't know if quickcharge is available or working, but I'm more than happy with the battery and charge performance.

Yea default charger is 1.5A but it gets the job done.

Quick Charge Enabled?

Hello,
I recently bought a quick charge car charger for my older phone-- will the G4 be able to do quickcharge? I hope so... I mean, I only paid $10 for the charger, but I would like to still be able to use it. Thanks in advance!

the thing is the g4 doesnt actually have quick charing its just the battery it self hold more battery i should say at 100% idk if you noticed but it stays at 100% longer to 99% than 99% to 98% by like alot this is because how the battery itself is designed this was the same with the lg g3

The G4 doesn't have fast charging. You could try using your charger, though no idea how using a fast charger on a non-fast charging phone will work/affect it down to road.

The G4 does not have Qualcomm brand QuickCharge 2.0, but it does charge quickly at 1.8 amps, compared to the 2.0 amps in QuickCharge 2.0. Keep in mind, though, that the G4 has a 3000 mAh battery, which will take slightly longer to charge to 100% than a smaller battery at the same current.
An advantage with the G4 compared to the other flagships this year is that with a spare battery, you can bring it to a full charge in less than a minute.

it doesnt have quick charging but it might force a higher voltage per minutes than a normal charger. so in theory it might actually charge it faster.
eaither that or it will just mess with your battery and damage it. good luck. post your results OP. did it charge faster?

Quick charge won't work on the G4, the charger will output 2amps @ 5v like any 2amp charger. If the charger sees the device is quick charge compatible it switches to 1.67 amps @ 9v (15 watts vs 10 watts)

Good news ! LG G4 will be compatible with quick charge!

Excellent news! Sorts this thread out anyway

I am also having this quick charge but the batter drains after 1 hour.

Haven't tried it yet though but will definitely check on this.

My qualcomm quick charge charger that I bought at Best Buy is working fabulously.

Is there a way to probe that my quick charger is really supplying 9v while charging? I have battery monitor but on widget it only shows mA.

QC 2.0 on this phone is a lie. According to LG that tweeted to me and this website it is QC 2.0 compatible. I have 2 compatible chargers and they charge at best 20% faster than stock charger. Qualcomm's website says that a 3000 MaH battery should charge from 0-60 in 30 minutes. With this phone of and doing nothing it takes nearly 60 minutes to do the same. Double the time!

Absolutely! I bought a Aukey and did the test from zero to full:
Stock charger: 122min
Aukey: 101min
Afaik quickcharge charges fast from zero to 60% and charge normal for the rest to avoid damage on the battery. I can't see any change around 60% in the graph.

Technically it's not a lie. The fine print on Qualcomm's website allows manufacturers to implement QC 2.0 in their own way. So it's in the phone but LG has implemented it in a way that it's crippled.

I think someone discussed this on You Tube during a review of the G4 and they stated that a update was coming to the G4 later on in the year for Quick Charging. Don't know why it didn't ship with it. This phone is not living up to the hype. I normally don't buy phones when they first drop but i just like everybody else I brought in to the promotion and I wish I would've held off. Just saying.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG V20 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I use Ampere to see the rate I am getting. First plug in might only be 90 mah. I unplug, replug, it jumps up to 350. A couple more times and I end up at 900-1200. Screen off and let it fast charge.

I recently tried out the HTC Bolt for a couple weeks and it seemed to charge much faster than my V20. Shouldn't it be the other way around since the Bolt uses quick charging 2.0 while the V20 uses Quick charging 3.0?

Slowest charging phone i ever owned but i still love it lol

My H910 charges relatively quickly. Just plugged it into a quickcharge 2.0, not 3.0 car charger and it went from 16% to 50% in ~25 minutes.

I regularly get rates of 1.8A or greater using a CHOETECH or Anker charger. One its above 80%, it drops down, but this is normal.
The Anker is QC3.0 and the CHOETECH are QC2.0

agree, LOL
even my old G2 get 50% battery in half an hour.
what's with V20?
it uses QC 3.0, but charge slower.
I use original V20 charger, and when charging the status is "quick charging.."
it takes 2 hours from 27% to 100%
:sad

looks like something really wrong with your phone. My phone usually takes about 75 mins to charge from 0% to 100%

maybe, but it looks like not just me though.
and btw, my LG G2 can do full charge in 1 hour and 20 mins (80 minutes), and it's not even QC 3.0
I read somewhere in gsmarena, QC 3.0 should charge to 80% in 30 mins

not sure about G2. I've never had one.
QC 3.0 might be able to do it technically, but I've never seen a phone that fast in charging yet. Not even the OP3T which every body is saying quickest in charging.

Hmm.. okay.
How about your G Flex2? how long it would take to charge to 100%?
G Flex2's battery 3000mAh, right? Same as G2

That grandpa tooks around 2+ hrs to get full charge
But to be fair with the phone, I've never used the original charger of G Flex 2 to charge. I either used my old chargers from previous phones or I plugged it into my laptop to charge it. Let me find the original charger and try it when i get back home

Great
Very fast charge

Delete please.

I have absolutely no complaints with the charging speed. Also, I rarely drop below 40%.

My battery takes forever to charge up!
I just bought a VS995 Verizon Unlocked off the net. Was classified as "almost new - open box", hope I did NOT get a unit with problems. Re-charged it now a total of 5 times and on average (plus or minus 3-5 minutes) it takes approx. 3 hours and 18 minutes. for a full charge 0% to 100% . A few thoughts and questions came to mind while reading all your excellent posts:
1.) I believe he must of lost his quick charger because the one he gave me seems like he bought it off the net. Standard USB charger. So probably not using the quick charge function feature of this phone correct?
2.) Can I goto an electronics store and just copy whatever voltage and amps I need to perform a quick charge? Can someone please POST what the voltages and amps needed for a quick charge 3.0 please.
3.) Anyone have a bad battery or have one go bad after using the wrong charging devices? I was thinking of ordering a new battery BUT they are a little pricey. Anyone know some good outlets to buy them at a fair price?
4.) Does rooting the device and putting one of the ROM's on their cell solve anyone's battery problem? If so which ROM do you recommend?
Overall that is my only gripe about the phone. I love the DAC and for all you music lovers out there try Sirius XM on the LG-V20 and make sure to use Hi-Fi made headphones. I bought myself Bowers and Wilkens P7's, sort of pricey but worth it to me. The other thing is Napster as well the songs you download sound awesome with this DAC. For both of these APPS make sure you go into settings and adjust the quality of the downloads and streaming. Otherwise you could be listening to it with poor quality settings from the get go.
Ok well I appreciate any help or advice on my battery situation!
Thanks in advance to anyone helping me out.

Any charger that says Quick Charge 3.0 would work. I think even QC 2.0 would charge at the same speed, but just less energy efficient.

The difference between qc 2 and 3 is 3 has a variable voltage allowing it to use energy more efficiently.
Excess energy is lost as heat on qc2, the power is reduced in qc3 when the battery starts to get full.
The charge time is the same.
Specs for QC 2 is 5V / 9V/ 12V, specs for QC 3 is
3.2v - 20v dynamic

What charging speeds are people getting with QCm

I'm just curious how long it's taking people to charge their devices using a QC 3.0 charger. It seems slow for me. I went from 10% to 20% in about twenty minutes. Other QC devices I've had charge much faster than this. Is this normal? It's an Anker 3.0 charger and I've tried multiple cables.

Its taking longer than id imagined based on what id seen about QC3 fast enough though and the phone doesn't seem to get warm. This is using the provided Sony charger which the store told me was a quick charge one. I see similar speeds off my Anker in car charger which is QC3 compliant.
Only ever had my Nexus 5X to compare to (which wasn't QC3 just rapid USB charging) and it seems about on par with that id say.

Using the included Sony QC charger and cable, mine charged from 16% to 70% in 50 minutes and then tapered off from 70% to 100% taking ~80 minutes for that.

Is the QC included? Read a review that it was not. Will receive mine next week.

I think it depends on the region; mine came from Expansys, which I think is the Hong Kong version with a type-G plug (UK), and it did. It only came with a corded hands-free headset, though.

Mine arrived Thursday and I charged it to 100% before turning it on. It was at 5% today when I plugged in the charger. It took 2 hours to reach 100% with the phone turned on but not being used. My phone was ordered from eGlobal Central, Hong Kong. Charger has the Type G plug with Type A, non-polarized adapter.
Cheers!

Got it today, and there was no QC in the package. :/ I live in Scandinavia.

There's a toggle in the settings for the Battery Care mode and from what I understand it monitors your charge habits and slows the quick charge time down during times when it thinks you'll leave it plugged in longer. The premise is that it will prolong battery service life. If you're looking for absolute fastest charge times be sure that's toggled off because it's on by default.
My HK market phone also came with the Sony quick charger. Seller included an adapter for US.

I ordered this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMAR-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-Samsung-Black/dp/B075CFKWNQ/ from Ebay with an EU plug.

I bought a Quickcharge3 from Amazon. Works brilliantly, 2% per minute for the first 30 minutes. Slows down quickly after that. As was mentioned above, there is a battery care option that can delliberatly slow down the charge if it feels it's not in the interests of the battery, perhaps that's what's happening when you are charging. Turn if off, restart the phone and then try again.
Edit: make sure you are using the original supplied Sony USB cable when you are testing. USB C leads are notorious at giving charging problems, especially cheap ones.

Any visual clues if fast charging is active? When using the magnetic load connection on the z3c the 'Fast charging' text was visible.

Xperia z1
Using a generic charger my Xperia Z1 have a decent charging speed.
My some apps are open while you charge. They consume a large amount of space and battery.
