A few questions from a future buyer - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hello,
Thinking about getting this phone (own Mate 8 which is fantastic but need a phone a bit smaller also my bank's app don't support Huawei phones)
- I live in Europe (UK, PL, Germany), which version should I get, anything I need to know before buying. Is A3010 what I need or A3003
- Is call recording working? this is a must for me.
- whats the difference between 64 and 128 apart from the storage?
- is dual sim active?
- is nougat available
- battery life - in Mate 8 it's just fantastic, I get easily 7h sot, is it similar here?
- can I use car charger I use for Mate 8?
- any extras I need to buy that are different to my previous phones? OTG cable, car charger etc?
- wld u recommend any shop in Europe?
Thank you guys!

A3003 is for Europe. Call recording does work. Only difference on 64 and 128 is just capacity ram is still 6gb on both same color for both as well. Dual sim works of course or they wouldn't put it in the phone (duh). Nougat is available on oos and custom ROMs I think oos is at 7.1.1 and most custom ROMs are at 7.1.2 now I prefer a custom ROM. Battery life is good especially with dash charge to top up again real quick. Can't use car charger for mate 8 unless you don't mind not having dash charge otherwise you need the official dash car charger from oneplus. Don't use otg so not sure about that but I'm pretty sure one end of otg plugs into the phones charging port so unless the mate 8 is USB type c then you still have to get one that is. And I suggest getting everything from oneplus website directly meaning phone and accessories. Wouldn't trust getting the phone from anywhere else at all.

Will a Lenovo P2 12V fast charger work for Note 4

Hey there guys
I am a audiophile who wanted to go for Lenovo P2 just for the sound quality it delivers through headphones. But due to my recent expenditure my budget has taken a hit and I don't think I will be able to afford it any more.
The other reason I wanted to go for it was because of it's fast charging capabilities. Redmi Note 4 runs the same Snapdragon 625, so I was wondering if I can use the Lenovo P2's original 12V charger to fast charge it. is it doable or will I be ruining the phone ?
Sometimes I still think I should still wait and just go for P2 its just that I just love my music ... But I love Xiaomi too, I have bought xiaomi phones for all my family members. I don't care about amoled display and stuff ... I just love quality music and good battery life and terrified of overcharging my phone through conventional slow chargers. (I never sleep with my phone on charge)
Sorry bro it won't work.....
The kernel of RN4 doesn't support fast charging(although the processor does)....
You will need to flash a custom kernel to enable fast charging just like radon kernel in case of RN3....

Did u buy lenovo p2 and does it have audio issues with headphones...
I am having sennheiser urbanite on ear with 18 ohm impedance.
it will not work and even if it is enabled it could damage the phone because the components of the phone were never specced/made to support quick charging.
This is the first time that I'm reading about "overcharging" your phone over night. I've been using smartphones for 7 years now and have charged them overnight about 90% of the time, save for those days with heavy usage when I ran out of juice in less than 12 hours. Care to explain what you're talking about?
OP, wait for 8.5 MIUI update. it is going to enable QC/fast charging mode.
625 supports fast charging but it was not enabled by MIUI. In latest update 8.5 it's going to work as per features mentioned. Check Mi 5 device. for reference.
But "Mi 5" is already quick charge 3.0 enabled at the beginning, comes with a fast charger plug out of the box.. Just look for the specs everywhere

There was news earlier about MIUI 8.5 with fast charging support in MI forums. Also MIUI 9 coming in few weeks I don't know MIUI 9 will support fast charging or not.

You need to do some research regarding overcharging. Hopefully this article below will enlighten you.
https://www.google.com/amp/www.androidauthority.com/battery-myths-688089/amp/
Quickcharging isn't that good long term for your battery. While it's safe if it's supported officially for your phone, it really shortens the lifespan of your battery. The amount of cycles basically. It'll start to last less and less much faster than just charging it normally.
I know it's bad for Li-ion batteries, and I think it's even worse for li-polymers because they last even less cycles in the first place.

Le Eco Le 2 - Dash charging

Hello guys,

It's interesting, I have never stop to think about it. What I know from Dash Charging is that it's OPPO proprietary charging technique, so it will probably charge your Le 2, but it wont make it fast as QC 3 could do.
Le 2 comes with Qualcomm quick charge technology which is completely differ from dash charge technology.so hardware compatibility and voltage inflow matters here.if your device is'nt compatible you should face a problem.otherwise if it works fine .njoy
It will work just fine. I am using dash charging cable and it's working. Also, I've noticed a small boost in charging though your mileage may vary.

i'm using it for my dad' Le 2, its working great and charge fast too.
I have oneplus 3 and I have been using oneplus 3 charger to charge le2 for more than a year now. It works fine even charges faster than le2 charger.
I suggest the MI 2 in 1 data cable for Le2 devices. It is working fine. No complaints no worries till now. The wire quality is good. It comes with a micro usb port and a type C adapater to it. The data transfer through the cable is working fine and fast. U can use the cable for both type c and micro usb port phone! And coming to the price it is 299 with delivery available in MI store! It is available in affordable price.
Hope ul be happy ! Thank you bobs!

The stock charging cable is pretty short and I am looking for a longer cable. Here are my requirements:
1.5 mtrs +
Reversible Connector
Fast charging capable

Can anyone recommend me a good cable meeting above requirements? I could not find any official Huawei made type c cables online.
Thank you.

Don't go by the words on the site. It supports both and I am using it for 9V-AMPs quick charge. It is of very good quality than MI. Flipkart too ships all over india.
My general understanding and experience, there is not much difference in cable for 9V-2AMPS and 5V-2AMPS, as long as copper on the wire is good, it should work for both.
i use no name MYR 10 ( usd 2.5 ? ) cable. bought 4 so far. highly recommended.
tested show fast charging. and top amp getting 3080mAh during charge. definetely supercharged!
here the cable looks like
1.5M and thicker durable than stock
https://photos.app.goo.gl/Mzspjf6KemeK0Yp13
i am using the honor usb type-c cable. not sure if it's 1m or 1.5m though. working good so far. in fact, i have two of it.
Try this Amkette PVC 1.5m Long Type C to USB A Extra Tough Cable For All Smartphones (Grey) it supports fast charge and is 1.5 meters flat long cable which supports fast charge. Tired and tested on my Honor 8 pro and works like a boss. I got it for Rs.350 under lighting deal normally it would cost Rs.400.
I found this one on Amazon IN. Ordered one today.

OnePlus warp charge comparability ?

Does anyone know/Think that the OnePlus warp or warp charge 30 power adapter would work with the Realme X2 pro ?
I know it will not be as fast but I can get one for free from oneplus referral points and it would be UK 3 pin.
Realme says the phone is compatible with other charging technologies like quick charge.
I will test it with my Oneplus 6T charger once I receive the phone and of it works I will get another one from Oneplus

I need a UK adapter but have purchased one so will be using the vooc charge occasionally when needed,
As these batteries only have certain number of cycles I would prefer to charge the phone with something else on a daily basis.
I'm interested in maintaining the battery for a few years so would like to keep it somewhere in the 45 to 85 range which has worked well for me with all recent phones I've owned

So, you can buy any qc 3.0, i like Aukey

I don't think it's necessarly bad for the phone but I don't trust it either. I have read in many reports it is quick charge compatable and I've heard that the OnePlus dash charge has worked also. I personally have no issue with these slower charge speeds and actually prefer them.
I will use the 50 watt in times I need it otherwise I will use the other ones
There is 2 batteries in the X2 pro and from what I understand the 50w is split between them both.... So it's more like 25w per battery as apposed to a single battery taking a full 50w. I personally wouldn't worry about it and enjoy the rapid charging.

Not necessarily, whether there's two or one battery,each will need to be maintained to some degree or they will degrade
I always charge it over the night with an old and slow adapter from my LG g4, if I need a boost, I use the vooc One, did the same with the previous huawei mate 10 pro for 2 years and battery is still as good as the first day [emoji6]

Xiaomi Mi A2 slow charging only

Bought a used Mi A2, that runs on the updated android one version.
I have tried a bunch of unnoficial power adapters, and all of them give only slow charge.
The strange thing is i tried my friends original Xiaomi adapter and it didn't even connected.
Im thinking about making a downgrade to android 9 or 8, what do you think?

not reason for fast charge problem ..try to enable Dev settings by tapping on build number in settings/about ...
then toggle fast charge to on in dev settings
*also if official charger is not working it means the battery is screwed or someone put cheap after market parts like bad replacement charging dock or cheap replacement battery
