Fastcharge or not? - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

Q: How can I check if my F8131 is fastcharging? I have the Sony UCH12 Quick Charger?

I have a quick charge 2.0 charger and it doesn't seem to charge that fast....just got the phone yesterday. still gotta test it

Sony's Quick Charge 2.0 implementation is different from other phones and it limits max current (at 60% or high temperature) to save battery life.

took me two hours to fully charge, so basically it's only quick charge 2.0 to 60% right?

Fast charge & USB

Hi everyone, I'm looking for more info about the fast charge function of the Note 4: I can read on the charger that it either provides 5 on 9V. Does this mean that I can supply 9V on the USB port to fast charge my note 4 ? Does anyone know how the charger detects wheher it it should supply 5 or 9V?

Yes, it means that that charger will deliver power at 9 V (at 1.67 A) to the phone.
As for how it decides which voltage/current to use, it'll be as a function of the battery's charge level, temperature, and probably some other factors, but that's getting into some very specific settings for the phone/charger system by that point.

thanks for the quick reply! I've got a couple of Dc Converters (buck) and lipo batteries (11.1V) and was wondering how the phone signals the charger it can accept 9V and if I can use my DC step down to feed the phone with9V...
I guess I will have to try

I guess it requires original charger for that function, probably with kernel modification you can disable that only 9v OEM charger use for QC
Hello guys ! Do you think this fast charging function is alright for the battery ? as far as i know high current may damage the battery .

I agree that it might be damaging to the battery (but obviously not extremely damaging). Why else would there be the option to switch off fast charging? I've switched mine off anyway because I have no use for it as my phone charges overnight and makes no difference how quickly it gets to 100%.

I personally thought the option to disable Fast Charging was Samsungs' way of reminding us, or letting the uninformed know, that it can do it.
The generally accepted rule amongst radio control hobbyists is that provided the battery is well made, it's not the current that'll kill a battery - it's overcharging it (over 4.2V per cell on a LiPo). Provided that the charging circuit is good (and I have no doubt it is of a high quality) we shouldn't see any degradation in battery life when used with the fast charge process.
Others may chime in with more info, but that's how I understand it.

l believe the fast charge is safe for the battery as it charges it at 1C (=1hr charge) which is actually not so fast.
Here is my tip: I have an old charger to charge overnight and use the mote 4 charger only for fast charging during the day (I leave it in my bag). I'm actually lookingfor a way to make a fast charging battery bank.
So here is my question again: has anyone tried supplying 9V to the phone ?
best device in charging
its charging up the whole battery in about an hour, i really like that and the battery gives me a full day
So far right now i can talk for about an hour and play games for about an hour and leave it on overnight and all day and still have 82% left. I'm super impressed!

YOAH!!! Thats insane!
I know that the amperage on the charger is huge in its speed.
I used many custom Roms and kernels in the past on other phones with fast charge. I used several chargers and always charged much quicker with higher amperage outputs. Some were as low as 300 MA to as high as 1.2A. This is why the amperage is so high on this phones charger. The voltage is needed to push the charge quicker. Good luck finding high A charger at 9v.
My 1.2A charger i use as backup is much faster then the 500/700ma ones I have but they are all 5v and can't compete with fast charge.
Sent from my *ROOTED* Note 4 SM-N910W8
I'm also looking for a power bank that would be able to charge at
- 5V 2A,
- 5.5V (Galaxy Tab S)
- 9V (Note 4).
- with 2x18650
- able to charge itself fast too;
- charge-through (charging a device while changing itself).
i now have this ENB model, but it does not deliver 2A to Tab S (and charges at 5V not 5.5).
And it charges itself with 1A even from 2A-capable power supply.
Hi all,
I notice something that the note 4 does not charge fast after I installed S-View cover (original one), although an indication appeared that it is using the fast charging function.
I guessed it assume that the cover is open and charge slower. However, if I removed the S-View it charge noticeably faster.
Do you think this a bug in firmware ??
Thank you,
The so-called USB fast chargers query the device to be charged. Devices capable of fast charging at 9V DC have additional circuitry in their USB ports that the charger can detect. If the charger doesn't detect the circuitry, it falls back to 5V DC mode, like any other USB charger. Assuming the fast charger is functioning correctly, it should not over-charge an older phone or tablet that doesn't support fast charging; it will simply take as long as the original "dumb" USB charger did.

Droid Turbo Turbo Charge , Quick Charge 2.0 question

So few days ago got the phone , but always charged it through USB port. Now finally tried turbo charger and it definitely isn't "turbo". I know most of those Turbo claims what I saw were just selling strategy , but I'm pretty sure I'm not even getting 1% - 1 minute. Latest Marshmallow OTA.
So , on a relatively new battery , how fast does your phones charge ? You can write with phone turned off and on..
Also looking at the charger it says for output :
Standard output :5V =1.6A
Turbo output :9v=1.6A
Turbo2 output :12v = 1.2A
This deosn't make any sense to me, while raising volts may solve some power losses through cable , amps are what charges your phone faster or slower , and 1.6A , isn't really a big deal not to mention 1.2A. Reading somewhere that quick charge 2,0 supports up to 3amps draw..
I have One Plus one and it's original charger is 2.1A (quick charge 1.0 ) , with custom kernel bumped charging rate all the way up and good cable I'm seeing about 2Amps of charging in real life , or little more than 1% per minute . I was expecting motorola to charge faster or at least even , even though they are 3100 vs 3900mAh batteries.. Not to mention I can easily mod OnePlus One and get same SOT and battery overall as motorola's, while on motorola I'm stuck with stupid locked bootloader . Original idea was to sell OnePlus One because of Motorola, but I don't know now anymore..
The volts and amps listed on an electrical device are typically its max or rated output, NOT what it "always" delivers. That being said, most power supplies will deliver their rated voltage most of the time, but the current is determined by the charged device (through it's effective resistance)... so as long as you run below the rated current, you'd be fine.
Secondly, from what I'm reading, the OPO doesn't have quick-charge technology (ref: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/co...lcomm_quickcharge_20/?st=ix64k1gy&sh=6d7492c9 ) so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. Again, the charger may say 2.1A, but that doesn't mean it's actually delivering that much all the time. I have a relatively old Kindle Fire with a 2.1A charger, but I know it doesn't charge very fast even with that device.
If you want to talk about Volts and Amps, you need to use actual volt/amp meters to see what you're getting.. Note, there is an app for Android (called Ampere) that claims to report amp-rates, but it also has a caveat saying that the current should not be taken as completely accurate, for various reasons.
Lastly, note that QC doesn't actually run when you are at higher charge levels... I think it's above 80% or something? After that level, it returns to "standard charging" mode for this "top-off" phase of the battery charge cycle. So, if you're seeing slow charge rates there, it's to be expected.
The Turbo has a relatively massive battery. Mine takes...somewhere upwards of 3ish hours on turbo charging to replenish.
1 hour 15 minutes
that's what it takes to go from 0 to 100% using Turbo Charger 2.0
Thank you all for answering, this is exactly why I started this thread. Already see here some interesting results!

Thanks! Actually, OnePlus ONE DOES have quick charge 1.0 which is 5v up to 2.1A. Snapdragon 801 supports quick charge 2.0 but OPO didn't implement it with phone. There are billions of topic on this at OPO forum and a lot of people done tests including myself. The problem with OPO is it's very sensitive on cable so it works best with OEM cable and it somehow recognizes it. There is app called OPO charging current so I monitored with it and synapse . Kernel setup hardware to be able to recive very max 2100mA no mather which cable. Stock ONEplus charger. Some cheap cables gave me from 300 - 600 mA max with screen on . I found at home some cable that looked cheap but said charge only, tried and it charged around 1600mA with screen on and around 1800 screen off. Later got Anker 21 AWG and results were even better , aroun 1800-1900mA screen on and close to maximum 2000mA screen off. Phone was charging 1% in less than a minute. Thought turbo can charge at same rate. After all , it's "boosted" lol.
I know it doesn't do quick charge after around 75% , I tried at 30%. Given all that , 1600mA which is maximum I see on the Motorola's charger is not something special if we disregard Voltage..

Again this is very interesting. Already here we see 2 totally different results with one being almost as double fast.. Sparksys , you are on stock charger and stock cable?
Because if you charge from 0-100 in 1h 15min, thats around 3.2Amps charging current , while our buddy Einsteindks here gets around 1.3Amps and max amp I see on "rola's charger is 1.6Amps. I'm confused now.
Also can somebody post picof stock droid turbo USB cable shipped in bundle? I think I don't have stock cable, it says right at the plug phone side "be hello". No other labels or anything..

According to your guess-timate and max rated power I see on the charger, that seems about right and realistic guess BUT there also isn't anything TURBO about it. I'ts the average charging speed of every device today (1.5A) which doesn't have any kind of quick charge option. Even quick charge 1.0 is faster with 2.1A at 5v . Thats why I opened this topic, I'm confused.
Only voltage is higher on turbo charger than let's say my OPO charger but amps are lower and voltage doesn't have that much of an impact on charging speed, amps do!
When I have my Turbo in my truck at night, and running about a dozen things at once, in addition to all the background stuff, NO 'regular' charger can keep up with the power demand, and the battery undergoes a insanely slow discharge. By itself, the battery lasts 3 or 4 hours, tops. With the turbocharger, the battery charges at a modest rate, maybe 10% per 30 minutes...while under high demand.

Since no other turbo users jumped in...
At the time of starting the topic I have disabled some Verizon's bloatware (completely stock, locked turbo). After reflashing completely stock FW , and with untouched software, droid really did charged turbo fast. More than 1% per minute and around 0-60% for 30min just as advertised for quick charge 2.0 . So if anyone was wondering, that should be benchmark.
On the other hand, phone is almost impossible to charge with any other type of "normal" charger..
My Turbo, running stock MM/root/Xposed with a large load of apps, will charge 20-30% per hour on a normal 1A charger, while lying on the desk with the screen off. It charges at a similar rate via Qi wireless charging. This is plenty for daily overnight charging. My usage habits are such that I usually have 20-40% battery left when I get home from work in the evening.
In a different usage case, when I play Ingress (a real battery eater, screen on + 3D animated graphics + GPS + data) the Qi charger in my car holds discharge to about 5-10% per hour.
I've never had a turbo charger to compare, but I've never found the normal charger or Qi charger to be significantly lacking.

Right, I've also used "normal" charger before. Now, I have all QuickCharge plug chargers -- but I still use Qi wireless charging every day, as does my wife.
I also plug in via USB port on my computer and it charges fine.
okay the way the turbo charging works is that it's like a tier system at very very low charge percentages it works the fastest and slows off after about 60 or 70 percent it just charges like a regular charger all the magic happens at the lower charges. another thing is that unless the cable you are using is total garbage it won't matter at all. it is all the phone and the ac adapter that do the work any variations in the cable will be negligible. I am monitoring my battery through the custom kernel (bhb27 and its app) and it says right now at 81% charge on a turbo charging that I am getting +1172.x mA if my battery was lower this value would be much much higher
lastly I recommend only using the turbo charger when you really need power quickly. if you are just plugging in your phone for the night it makes no sense and will actually be bad for your battery health. the faster it charges the more it heats up and heat is not good for the battery health when I plug my phone in at night I use a .5 amp charger and my phone says that it will need like 8 or 9 hours to charge (this may be exsessive but the quick chargers heat up my phone a lot I also use a 1 and 2 amp charger nearby

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 OnePlus 5T can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Fastest with dash
i heard that this also works with usb power delivery (maybe out of the box or with a custom kernal?) which is good news. an open standard fast charge framework is always a good thing.,
I got 35%---> 80% in 25min ish this morning. powered on, off screen
So fast like sanic :laugh:
Insane Charging speed even without dash charge
Easy from 40-80% in 20 minutes every time. I rarely every have to let my phone dip past 70
If you plug it into a quick charge 3.0 charger, how much time does it take to charge it fully? thanks

Hi guys,
little comparison with ugreen qck 3.0 charger. It's good, but no chance with dash charge, ~2 times slower. I can't add screenshots, but charging from 17% to 81% last 1h 15 min.
Is it just me ?
Had put my phone on charge on 51%..
After 1hr 10mins screen off it was still on 97%..
Can someone explain is this normal
idle drain about 3 to 4% always.
thats so impressiv... 0-100% in 1 hour...

Of course!
i prefer the 18 w fast charged since it wont degrade the battery as fast as 30 w fast charger. of course a 6000 mah is more difficult to degrade, but the life span will be better with 18w charger
the tencent edition 8/128 is a best buy.. not worth the global 12/512gb . only it has little more bands, all glass body, some new accessory and fast charged. reccomended only for people that use more than 128gb.
128gb is more than enough for me and an almost 1000$ 512gb global model is not giustified!

Proper fast charging shouldn't degrade a battery any faster than normal charging, as long as it doesn't cause the battery to heat up more than normal or charge to a higher finished voltage than normal. What degrades a battery is charging it to 100% all the time, because that last 5 to 10 percent of the charge is up in the 4.15 to 4.2+ volts per cell, which causes the damage that we see as degradation. If you limited the charge to 80%, or even 90% you'd get a MUCH slower degradation of the battery.

And what's nice about the phone is that it gives you a way to mitigate this right from settings. Go to Settings, Battery, PowerMaster, Battery Care. Here you can set times for dynamic charging between hours X and Y to get to 100% instead of as fast as you can. Mine is set 10 pm to 7 am for now.

It takes 4 hours with the phone off or on. If it's on make sure that scheduled charging isn't activated during the period you try to charge the phone.
If non of what I suggested is useful, it's better you take your device to ASUS service center.

Scheduled charging was already deactivated.
Could you suggest a better alternative cable & charger that may speed up the charge? Thanks.

There is a problem with your device battery mate either this or your charger is the issue. From 50% to 100% it shouldn't take more than 1 hour and that's with the default charger that comes with the device itself 18W. Try to charge the device with another charger and compare. Otherwise I advice you to taking it to the service center.

Thank you for your advice, I will try charging using my Sony Xperia 1 charger & see if it makes any difference.
Otherwise the battery holds charge very well. I will update you shortly as I've only had the device for 3 days...
I will also order this and see if it helps:
JuicEBitz® 25W 3 Port USB FAST QC3.0 Mains Charger Adapter +
It should provide me with the fastest supported charge. I'll order it next week & once tested I will report back.

I already have an update and know what the problem is.
Around 30 minutes back, I had 60% battery. Just now I unplugged it and it was 96%
I used original Sony Xperia 1 18w charger and cable. This means that there is an issue with the supplied Asus charger, it is charging very slowly. The 18W Sony charger is charging much faster than the 30W Asus...
Anyway to charge only to 80% in software? With a 6000 mAh battery, I don't really need to charge to full if I can increase longevity of the battery life.

Question Best charger/wattage for best battery life span

Hello people I recently acquired my 11t pro and I know that the 120w charging, first it's amazing, but second it's kind of concerning to think that such a charging speed might not wear down the battery life even though Xiaomi claims 800 cycles and a bunch of certifications.
So I've decided to only use 120w on hasty situations or while traveling, etc. And I happen to have different xiaomi chargers.
The question is which do you think is the best wattage or charger to make battery life span longer 22.5w or 33w?
(wish I had the 67w from the 11t, but unfortunately I don't)
You're correct. Fast charging is poison for battery lifespan, of course the device makers love that because $. As low and slow as possible is the way to go, 18-25 W as a good trade off I would say. Some, including myself go even lower.
yeah,I haven't tested the 11t pro but with a redmi note 9 using a samsung note 9 charger it looked like the redmi wasn't getting any charge up. So that low is good?
i use 12/15w and its perfect !
Im charging mine with standard 5v 2A (its slow, but i thing battery will have better life down the line) since im planning to use my phone for 4-5 years minimum (last phone oneplus 2 was in use 6 years)

How long does it take you to fully charge? Or what charging strategies do you use?

Both options are good ideas for overnight charging. Will keep that in mind using a Samsung charger

Yes, you are right, when you are not in hurry i dont see reason not to use slower speed charging and then if you need speed use fast charger once in awhile
Well just as an addition I've tested several chargers with different wattages and these are the results in terms of time:
Samsung 10w - 2h:40min ±
Xiaomi 18w - 1h 30min ±
Xiaomi 22.5w - 1h 05min ±
Xiaomi 33w - 50 min ±
Xiaomi 120w 17 min at least for me.
Charging from around 10 to 100%
I am using Samsung 15W charger, around 2h to fully charge the phone.
I use a 33W charger from my K30 Pro Zoom. I charge from 20% remaining to 90% in 30 mins. Probably 45 mins if totally drained but never have to wait for an hour to fully charge. I only use 120W during business trips or Out of town.
By the way, your cord needs to match the type of Charger you are using or you'll just end up with a bottle neck charging.
I think the best option would be 65W, either mi charger or anker. Im currently using anker 65w charger, and oh my god, im getting a beautiful battery life of upto 8 hours sot on heavy usage. And by heavy usage i mean, streaming, maps.
With heavy games as well, its a bit lower. But charging with 120W affects the battery negatively. And i think it doesnt charge it completely even though it shows 100%.
