I've been out of town and only bought a couple chargers with me. I'm finding some weirdness as I do some tests with these and some other device I borrowed while here.
Basically, the M8 Charger seems to only work to charge the M8. It doesn't work to charge a Galaxy S5 or an iPhone.
I have successfully used the following to charge all 3 phones:
- Computer USB (0.5 - 1.0 A)
- iPhone Charger (1A)
- iPad Charger (2.1A)
- RAV power brick (2.1A)
However the M8 charger will ONLY charge the M8.
It clearly isn't an amperage issue since the M8 charger is only 1.5A.
So what is it?
Since all the other adapters I tried seemingly work on the M8, but the M8 adapter only works on the M8, I'm wondering why I don't just throw the M8 charger into the "bin of forgotten things" ?

Yeah I think they are but you will get a better answer from the m8 users
I think the question you need to ask is, why your M8 charger isn't charging other devices, yet my one does!?

I've used my M8 charger for a Note II, an iPod and an iPad with no issues. Something's wonky with yours, imo.
I don't know, but something is off about mine. The stock ROM throws a fit about it not being the OEM charger and that it's in slow charge mode. It's the stock OEM charger I took out of the box one week ago. Lol. 1.5A and all.
It does still charge though, and it charged my HTC Droid Incredible, iPod 5G and Classic, along with my BlackBerry Z10. No issue there. Just the opposite.
I'll assume it's ok though, I just plug it in for the night. And I'm now on the GPe ROM so it doesn't pop up slow charging info, and I don't miss it.
I'm wondering if it just can't match the 1.5A it's supposed to have, maybe falling short? I'd try a 2A charger, but I haven't got any since I sold my iPad. And my Z10, Dinc, and iPhone/iPod chargers are all 1.0A. But since I only charge it at night, it doesn't make a difference anyway.
I'd love to know what's up with yours though. Something about HTC chargers seem to be odd. The one from my 2010 Incredible works, but makes a terrible whine so I can't even use it. It started maybe a year in and I switched to another brick that's been fine since.
Maybe you should try charge to BlackBerry playbook?

Guys my HTC one and probably every one else's is shipped with output 1.0 charger.
I was wondering if any one knows or has experience with 2.0a charger?
My Nexsus7 charger is 2.0A and I would like to use it to charge my HTC one but I am
want to make sure and ask around if that would damage my battery? and if that will
charge my phone any faster?
Thanks in advance!!

Not an electrician, but from my understanding, the phone will only draw the power it needs. So, it should be safe although it won't charge the phone faster.
I use my N7 charger on my m7 all the time.

Have quick charge 2.0 disabled?
I tried plugging it into a nexus 6 charger and a qc2.0 car charger and nothing.....just normal charge rate
Mine works great. Bought the Anker wall charger and works so far
Can you post a link?

theres a notification?
On the nexus isn't there? Or maybe the s6. How it tells you it's quick charging. And there isn't on the m9
I bought the HTC branded quick charger and definitely see a huge increase in speed with it. No notification but insanely fast charging
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Free mobile app
HTC device do not have a quick charge notification like a few others. You just have to make sure that the charger you got is Quick Charge 2.0 certified and you should be good to go. There are quite a few quick charge 2.0 charging accessories out there now. My favorite is the Aukey car charger which charges my phone about 5 times faster than the old car charger that I've owned for five years. Makes a huge difference, especially when you have only 15-20 minutes in the car.

Have you guys noticed decreased battery life after using a quick charger?
Dear all, As you can see from the title I want to know what's currently the fastest way to charge the HTC One M7, The supplied HTC charger which comes when you purchase the phone charges the phone way too slow, takes almost 3 full hours to charge from 0 - 100% and when you are using your phone at the same time it tends to charge even slower hence extending the 3 hour time required for a full charge. I know that HTC has released some sort of new charger that is meant to charge up the device a lot more quickly but I am not sure whether that one is compatible with the M7 or only with the newer HTC devices.
Also, if that charger is not compatible then are there any other 3rd party chargers compared to the HTC's own charger that will charge up the device more quickly ? The HTC's own charger is 1A whereas some on the market are 2.4A etc
Please any suggestions as to what charger is faster and more effective also please send links where I can purchase it.
Thanks.
You want a 2.0amp charger and a 24/28awg USB cable. That will shorten the time to about less two hours . you won't get quick charging ability but it will be an improvement.
Dear @eosman
Many thanks for your reply, can I kindly ask you to provide me with any links that you may have about the 2amp chargers which are good in your viewpoint for the M7. Also im not quite sure what cable you are talking about so if you can send me a link to for example eBay or Amazon where sellers may be selling these cables. As I might want to buy.
Thank you!
HTC Rapid Charger for M7. U can find em on HTC.com or Amazon. It states that it will charge this phone up to 40% faster than stock oem charger.. and it actually does..
@ bdizzle 1686,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I have heard about the HTC Rapid Charger 2.0 however, I have seen some other chargers also that are much higher in Amp than this one so question is will that charge the device even faster?
This HTC Rapid Charger is only 1.65A/ 1.25A in output whereas there are some chargers that go up to 2.4A so are those an even better choice or should you avoid them because there is a chance they can harm the device ?
Please let me know.

The rapid charger will be a big improvement compared to the 1.0amp stock charger. Going from 1.65amps to 2.0 amps will get you a 'little' bit more but the HTC M7 will only charge so quickly. Anything over 2.0 is useless for the M7. HTC only allows the M7 to be charged at a certain amperage to prevent the battery from being damaged/ overheating.
@eosman,
Can I please ask you to send me links to Amazon or eBay website whereby I can get this rapid charger 2.0. I have found many but they aren't HTC original product they are just third party chargers.
So if you find any decent priced and its original htc product then please send me a link.
Thanks for the information regarding the charging, I also kinda realized that anything over 2A would be useless as i tried a charger which was 2.4A and there wasn't much improvement in charge time as compared to 2.1A maybe. Also the rapid charges supports Qualcomm Quick Charge which is again a plus point to use with smartphones which use in-built Qualcomm processor chips.
Hello,
Has anyone used a Quick Charge portable battery pack before? You know how when you plug it in to the wall or outlet it will say "fast charging", well I don't get that with quick charge.
Is this normal or should I be panicking?
Thanks
Which model do you have? I have the 15,000mah PB-T3 model & it fast charges my phone fine now. The battery pack itself even supports quick charge so the battery pack will charge at 9V with the Samsung adaptive fast charger or 12V with a certified QC 2.0 charger.
I say "now" cause the first one I received melted & died while charging it.
Have you tried another quality cable?

Also. You need to make sure your cable is plugged into the correct port. I am assuming you have one with two ports, either way if you do have the two ports only one of them is QC 2.0 enabled.
Mine doesn't say, but charges quick -

I was looking at the 10000mah one, the PB-T4 which is 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches in size.
I cant find anywhere the dimensions of the PB-T3, is there any way you could measure it?

The dimensions listed on Amazon & most other vendors is wrong. The dimensions you gave that's listed for the PB-T4 on Amazon is the size of my PB-T3. Before purchasing I was looking for dimensions also & in another thread someone measured the PB-T4 to be 6.25 x 2.5 x .75 which makes sense cause the PB-T4 looks narrower & thicker than the PB-T3.
I store mine in a Maxpedition TC-2 pouch.

Wow, so you are saying you can fully confirm the PB-T3 is exactly 6.5 x 0.6 x 2.9 inches?
If thats the case then I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

Perfect. That seems like the best all around battery pack.
Heck, it's thicker but the footprint isnt much bigger than the LG V10 (or the Note 5 for that matter) itself.
I can carry the phone and batterypack together in my front jeans pocket easy.
Thanks again!
No problem. Yup, that's what I was worried about, being too big but as you said it's not much bigger than my N5 or the V10.
I was unlucky & the first one I got melted during it's first charge (the battery pack, not while charging my phone) so just to be safe keep an eye out on how hot it gets on your first charge. I liked this one the most out of all the others I was looking at so I took a chance with a replacement. Haven't had one problem with the one I have now.
What I like about is the most is it also supports QC2.0 fast charging & at 12v (but you'll need a QC2.0 charger to charge it at 12v & not an OEM that's only 9v max) so it's not just the output that is fast charging.
EDIT: Oh looks like I already mentioned the fast charging input in this thread.

You helped me a lot on this, thanks.
Check it out, I've got my shopping cart loaded up. That Tronsmart 54W, 5 port charger does the QC2.0 12V so I'm hoping it will charge up the Batterypack nicely
BTW, for anyone interested this is another nice looking single port charger also that I want but am holding off on: http://amzn.to/21GlCBh
Thanks again :good:

Yeah, I was looking at that 3-port you have. Interesting that it is such high wattage, at 42W when the 5 port is only 54W. I'm wondering if the 3-Port has faster charging or something but all the QC2.0 port specs seem to be the same.
You might have seen, I'm planning to get this one for the car: http://amzn.to/1OOlcSp
Try this one. At least, you can use this in the near future because of type-c port. I'm definitely satisfied with this product.

Need help with the aukey power bank
Hey i read you've been using the aukey charger.
I an looking to buy yhe same but spectical about the performance.
Does the power bank itself charge using fast charging? If so which charger you use.
How long does it take for the power bank to charge completely using the output of your charger.
Thanks
I purchased the Aukey 3.0 do to the fact that it work with both micro USB 2.0 & USB Type-C 3.0 compatible. (I won't have to buy another one next year! Lol) I have to say it's quite remarkable. Small enough to put in my pocket with phone connected using a small cable. I got from 55% to full in about 17 min. while screen was off. Takes a while to charge the unit itself (which is to be expected with 10,000 mAh) The unit itself can not be fast charged. It also will not fast charge a phone while it is being charged itself. Simply put, with a $20 price tag (now $30), you can't go wrong. Next time I use it, I'll get some screenshots & add to thread.
AUKEY 16000 mah charge time
Hi all,
Thanks for a help-full post. i bought a aukey 16000mah power bank.
When i recharge the device using my Asus charger (5v 2A & 9V 2A ) from
my phone the device does not show full charge indication. The light on
the power button flashes (Breathing effect) RED, GREEN and then
WHITE. It never goes to SOLID WHITE which would indicate 100% charge
even after plugging it in for 9-12 hours.
I have also used a Aukey 10000mah power bank and in 5-6 hours its
light status goes to SOLID WHITE.
Is this issue only with me or has anyone else faced the same? How long
should the device take to recharge itself with 5V 2A rated charger
which is also mentioned on the device's INPUT rating.
Also would like to know if the light ever goes to SOLID WHITE with other users.
Thanks
Wish one of these codes worked on the 20000mah.

You should avoid Fast Charge or anything like that. It's extremely bad for lithium polymer to be "Fast Charged" the technical behind it is look at your power brick. Anything over 5v charging is to much and will shorten the battery life. I've seen 5.3 and 9.0. I use a 4.8v 2A charger on all my devices. The lithium polymer gets forced above it's operating voltage of 3.7 to 4.1v.
