the latter also allowed me to fastboot oem unlock.
so battery is at 59%, homescreen says 14 minutes till full.
cheers
can you please check with Ampere or GSAM for the charging speeds that you achieve?
does the device say fast/rapid charging?
Interested to hear the results from Ampere or GSAM as well
i cant get a good handle on how ampere works. it keeps measuring, takes forever, and fluctuates a lot.
with the aukey combo, i got 1830/2050mA @ 4.14v, at 53%, 37.7c
took it off charge for a while and tried again with the stock charger:
with the stock charger, i got 1850/1860mA(min/max) @ 4.159Vat 61%, 30.7c
I will try again at 50% today if I have time but I am pretty pleased with my little aukey combo. It was cheap.. I got it when there was a 7 dollar coupon floating around.
FYI, believe this is the same charger : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QEX83LA/

Yep that would be the one. charging at 1800mA is not the fastest that the phone can charge at though. I'm going to hold off for the ones that enable the full speed of charging

For 7 bux I think it's still a good deal for someone who doesnt have a spare to use
From the product description, you are only going to get 2A out of the charger. 5X doesn't do QC2.0, so you will only get the output at 5V, which for this charger is 2 amps.
Specifications:
Input: AC 100-240V
Output: 5V/2A, 9V/2A, 12V/1.5A
Dimensions2.69*2.05*0.87in)(68.5*52*22mm)

But some Aukey chargers with AIPowertech like this one "charges all non-Quick ChargeTM 2.0 phones and tablets at their normal speed (up to 5 volts / 2.4A Max)with AIPower Tech Technology."
I've got the charger, just not the cables... so haven't been able to test.
I tested Aukey PA-T2 wall charger QC2.0 port ( orange one) on a Sony Xperia Z3 compact tablet
I recorded charging current up to 2.7Amp with the Aukey USB cable and up to 3.0 Amp with the Sony USB cable !!!! far more than the 2.0 Amp level current Aukey specifies......
The voltage - current output test show that the voltage stay in the 9.0V range with current up to 2.4Amp then fall down very quickly. It seems that the voltage stay at a value enough to deliver up to 3.0 Amp charging current to the tablet ....
Detailed test are here (http://78michel.unblog.fr/?p=860 in french....)
Current values where obtained from BMW recordings

LOL, thanks... but that doesn't really help this 5X cause. Given that there is no quick charge on the 5X, it'll remain at 5V. The question is whether it'll pull more than the 2A or 2.4A specified on these chargers at 5V on a 5X.

Aukey quick charge 2.0 behave like a standard charger when connected to a non QC2.0 compatible device. The output voltage will stay to 5V so the current level will be very sensitive to the quality of the USB cable and limited by the maximum current the device will afford.
In practice it is very difficult to reach 2A charging level ( even if the charger is able to deliver such current) with a voltage output of only 5V , due to losses in cables and connectors
From my experience the higher current charging level I obtained was with a Samsung wall charger refence EP-TA10EWE which deliver an output voltage of up to 5.5V at 1.9A ( nominal voltage is claimed at 5.3V)
I got 1.7Amp charging current on my Nexus 5 while with the Aukey QC2.0 the current was only 1.1 Amp in exactly same conditions ( these recorded data are also reported in my blog .....in French.....)

Thanks, didn't think to look at the link.
I wonder how older phones like the NA Galaxy S3 and Nexus 4 that both have QC1.0 ([email protected]) compare to the charging of the Nexus 5.
I'm curious as to how you did your testing, as I'm going to try my own testing once my cables come in. Did you drain all your phone's battery to 0 before performing each test? Phone airplane mode vs off? I also think that all tests must be done in relation to time, especially since the charging profile changes as the phone charges. I'm also curious as to how the non QC port on the Aukey performs, since it's spec'd at 2.4A @ 5V.

All tests are made with battery drained to zero before starting , and a complete charge is done in each conditions. That way I can check that the full charging time is logically related to the recorded current values. The current is recorded during the complete cycle at a frequency of one value per mn.
The air plane mode was off.
Aukey QC port and non QC port are slighly differents when connected to non QC2.0 devices :
QC port delivers 5.1V in open circuit, the voltage encrease to 5.2V at 2.2Amp, on the contrary the non QC port delivers 5.2V in open circuit and decrease to 5.1V at 2.2Amp. I did not test them at higher current level.
I did not tested Galxy S3 or Nexus4 , but I beleive that a charger like the Samsung EP-TA10EWE will deliver them the maximum charging current they are programmed to accept, as obeserved for the Nexus 5.
I got the same charging current curve I recorded with Nexus 5 and Samsung EP-TA10EWE, with other set of charger and cable. This means that this charging curve is defined by the Nexus 5 inner program , not the charger characteristics. The problem is that we never know which is the max current curve internally programmed for each smartphone...... so it could be a long way to find it.......
I've just come over from a Samsung s8 plus that was unfortunately stolen without insurance and couldn't quite bring myself to fork out another insane price for another one. Purchased this OP5 carrier free @ my local o2 here in England (as i had a £150 voucher).
As a consequence, I have accumulated a large amount of both Quick Charge and Samsung adaptive fast chargers.
It seems that the OP5 charges very quickly on these which relieved me, I would say def on a similar level to QC 2.0 and the Samsung.
of course the Dash charge is just ridiculously quick.
i was reading that the OP5 does not support quick charge and only dash charge.
I beg to differ?

I'd be hesitant to use a QC adapter with the OP5. You're taking a risk of damaging the battery, or worse, the phone. There are most likely slight difference in the charging logic between the two adapters. I'd email OP support to get more info.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
seems to work just fine, i doubt an adaptive fast charger will cause damage as it will act like a regular usb charger. will ask- cheers
Different charger wont damage anything people.
Lithium based charging system is more complicated as acid or Ni based battery, but simple.
1 rule for the power supply, it need to keep the power output the more stable as possible. So use high qality charger, samsumg are just fine. I'm using a HTC.
You can take any charger you want @ 5v. from 0A to 4A. You can use a 100A, but the phone will draw only waht it need, and the wire gauge will limit the power draw.
Let say the wire is too small, the voltage will drop, the chip will detect it and reduce the demand.
dash charging or fast charging are just brand name, the physics is the same. The power supply has a higher wattage, because the device can take it.
And the USB wire has a higher gauge compared at standard.
Use dash chager on a old phone, and you wont have any benefit if the phone draw only 700mA.
Or simply take a desk adjustable power supply, set it @ 5v4A, plug OP usb cable or any big gauge USB, and OP5 will show ''dash charging''.
Conclusion.
Depends of the voltage/amp/gauge, not the branding.
** BTW , even with cheap power bank, power supply or any supply, I really doubt it will damage anything. On my wife op3, we use any bank ( even the budwizer one), we plug it with iphone supply, 120voutlet with the usb option, dash, kindle supple, etc. annnnddd it still working juste fine. She has, ebay cable also.
Well all the stuff is in the charging brick on the dash charger. All the heat it's dealt with in the brick. That means the brick from Sammy doesn't and more heat then the phone could safely handle may do damage over time? IDK but the we all know heat kills electronics.
I use a quick charge (the one of got for my Nexus 6P) on my op5 but only at my couch so I pull it off the charger when full, don't let it sit on charge when 100%
You can let it sit on charge at 100%. Phone will disable charging anyway.
i actually think OP have stealthily allowed the qualcomm quick charge to work as it charges almost exactly as the s8 did on the sammy brick. i used a non quick charge old LG brick and that charged waaay more slowly.
honestly someone charge using a quick charge or sammy adaptive fast charge brick and tell me if im right or wrong ...

I only have my dash and 1 Sam qc brick rest are cheap but with dash block it obviously says dash charging, with the qc it just says charging, and with the 3rd party bricks it says charging slowly. So hope that helps
Just download an app like ampere and monitor the current using the different chargers, then you will see if it's more efficient or not.
It might charge quickly using those other chargers but the heat won't be transferred to the charger like it is with Dash charge
Likely it is QC2.. only with dash charger it will go further and faster
any 3rd party cables that are dash charge compatible?, read somewhere its based on the thickness of the wire ...

But this is just plain wrong, dash charging has nothing to do with QC quick charge. It's as different as it can be!
QC quick charge:
The brick highers the voltage to more than 10v. This way, less amps go through the cable, the the wires can remain thin.
(P=U*I) --- e.g. --- Power = Volts * Amps --- example: 5v * 2a = 10w / 10v * 2a = 20w
This way, you can have a greater power while the amps remain the same, while using a normal, thin cable.
The voltage regulator/BCM in the phone takes the voltage down to safe levels for the battery. This creates alot of heat inside the phone, which is bad for the battery.
Dash charge:
Dash charging transfers the BCM to the charger, little to no heat is generated inside the phone!
The BCM controls the flow to the battery by altering the voltage.
U = I*R --- e.g. --- I = U/R --- e.g. --- Charging amperage = Voltage / Internal resistance of battery --- e.g. --- When the voltage is pushed up, the flow into the battery gets higher.
Remember, this is all done in the power brick, so the voltage of the electricity going through the cable is lower (3-6v I would say).
This translates to a higher current (amps), So the cables have to be thicker! That's why dash charging only works with official oneplus cables (and some OPPO cables, but those are all Micro usb).
In other words, there is no way dash charging works with other powerbricks!
I hope this clears up all the misunderstanding surrounding quick charging techniques.
Cheers!

yes i agree but it seems like the OP5 allows qualcomm quick charge (or some form of it) to work as ive checked and a quick charge brick charges much quicker than a regular non quick charge brick.
this seems like great news as the phone has a versatility between both techs. makes commercial sense for OP to allow QC (albeit at the same level as a S8 from my experience) to work as their dash tech limits brick and cable usage.

Yes, you are right, it could be possible (although unlikely) that oneplus has adopted 2 fast charging protocols in the oneplus 5.
I was just saying it can't dash charge using a samsung adaptor/cable.
I you want, I can try to hijack some cable to read out the voltage when the oneplus5 is being charged with a samsung adaptor.
That would be very interesting to see !!
Can't seem to get it to charge as fast as the OP5 charger, will post ampere reading here in a bit.

That's impossible, read my post above to see why
I checked the voltage while charging the OP5 with a QC charger It stays at about 5 volts, so there seems to be no QC capability in the OP5.
There is no QC functionality for the OP5. Regular charging, just draws power like a phone with neither QC or Dash. You can still get a relative fast charge from a higher output brick. (output 5v 1.2a-2a) Higher the amps, the faster the charge. Of course this is dependent upon cable quality and charge logic.
Hi ! I had 2 charger for my Oneplus 3 and cable usb type -c ( I had 3 cable usb type-c ugreen too but no charger)
Can I use my Dash charger with my mi 8 ? I had buy a mi 8 and receive it tomorrow global version with EU charger but don't know wich charger it Qc 3.0 or 4.0 ? And with my oneplus Dash charge is 5v 4amp can work on mi 8 or do buy another charger ? Thank you

Bull*hit....
Dash charging just doesnt work on mi8, normal charge will not cause any damage on any other phone or their battery.
you do not necessarily need a original charger from your phone manufacturer.
The phone negotiate how much power the battery gets not the charger ... the charger slows down the load balance to 2,4A (2,4A*5V=12W)
With a 2,4A output you'll reach ~12W at peak due to cable limitations you'll get 10w
QC 3.0 reach ~ 18 watt on peak with variable voltage and ampere steps. (3,6 - 20v)
Same on Dash Charge, Dash uses variable voltage and ampere steps like QC but doubles the charging lanes.
You can charge your phone with any charger you get, the worst you can get is slower charging speed.

OKay its just your opinion but my opinion is you have no insight in electrical topics or the insight of such an charger.
optimization - the charger doesn't overcharge or use an overvoltage on your phone when its not support their specific fast charge technology it simply slow down to 5v - max. 2.4A, these charging speed will never cause any damage on your phone.
its just simple: an QC phone doesnt use the benefits of SuperCharge technology or Dash Charge and vize versa....
And trust me i've done more calibration and testing in USB charging topics and their different Charging tecnologys as you think (mobile batterys, chargers and so on).
I had several phones and several chargers and compared nearly all of them (QC, FastCharge, VOOC) and there is absolutely nothing dangerous to charge a phone with a QC charger if it is a supercharge phone.
But .... you ever can prove the contrary. I'll never stop learning but you have to tell me some facts.
I have noticed that my stockpile of "fast" chargers I have acquired and used with my LG G8 do not enable the "charging rapidly" notification I get on the Pixel 5a.
Do I need to purchase a new set of USB-PD chargers for car & a/c outlet in order to achieve the fastest charging.
My current quick charge 3.0 adaptors make this phone say "charging" and not "rapidly"

Probably. If your current chargers don't support PD then you won't charge at max speeds. And if your current chargers are using USB-a, meaning you need a USB-a to USB-c cable you're definitely not fast charging.
I can recommend Anker products. The Nano pro is a sweet tiny charger.
Anker's PowerIQ vs Quick Charge vs Power Delivery: What are the differences? - Dignited
With a lot of competiting charging standards, It's quite hard to choose what's best for your device. PowerIQ, Quick Charge and USB PD are the most popular choices today
www.dignited.com
I have anker products already however they are using the older type-A connection. its a shame that google will only allow rapid charging via USB-PD spec and not the older QC-QC3.0 spec.
anker car chargers that support PD are not cheap either but I guess I should future proof myself
Considering that the 5a is only capable of charging at a maximum of 18W (9Vx2A) I am pretty sure the USB-A to USB-C cable will work, if you can find a PD charger that uses USB-A. The reality is that you will probably need to buy a PD car charger, and a USB-C to USB-C cable. I'm in the same boat. There are quite a few options, with PD and QC and 2.1A/2.4A USB charging all in a single charger, on Amazon and the usual suspects. I think the real disappointment is that the 5a only charges at 18W. The upside is that the phone not only has a huge battery but it has adaptive charging so will slow charge overnight - fast charging being bad for battery life.
You should look for a USB-C "charging" cable. Charging cables have larger wires for lower loss in the cable, but also are often USB 2 speeds for data, which is fine for dedicated charging use. It is also possible to find USB 3 charging cables. There are a number of different USB-C cables out there, including special ones with an IC to support Thunderbolt. Be sure to mark the capability of each one you buy. It is a bit of a mess.
Quick Charge works well but is not strictly consistent with the USB spec (although it does not interfere with USB operation). IIRC QC uses analog voltage levels on the signal lines to control the supply voltage. IIUC PD uses a digital handshake. I for one have been happy with QC but am glad to move to PD for phone and eventually laptop and tablet. Recent announcements extend PD from today's 100W max up to 240W max.
Android 12 looks to have tweaked Pixel Adaptive Charging so phones reach 100% closer to alarm
Pixel users have had hit or miss experiences with Adaptive Charging, and Google now looks to have tweaked how it works on Android 12...
9to5google.com
this article explains a lot. I have been using adaptive charging for the "slow" overnight on my 2nd day of use since the battery has so much capacity. I woke up the other night because of a thunderstorm and noticed my phone was already at 100% 5 hours before my alarm was set to go off. Another night I woke up to use the bathroom, around 3 hours after I had went to sleep and plugged in phone, verified it said adaptive initially and now it said rapidly! Why would a phone switch to rapidly charging in the middle of the night. I might just dig out an OLD slow charger brick from the basement cave to prevent this overnight mystery from a gimmick feature.
Will post back when I acquire a car charger capable of "rapid" charging which 18w seems plenty fast to me for most road trips.

Android 12 looks to have tweaked Pixel Adaptive Charging so phones reach 100% closer to alarm
Pixel users have had hit or miss experiences with Adaptive Charging, and Google now looks to have tweaked how it works on Android 12...
9to5google.com
this article explains a lot. I have been using adaptive charging for the "slow" overnight on my 2nd day of use since the battery has so much capacity. I woke up the other night because of a thunderstorm and noticed my phone was already at 100% 5 hours before my alarm was set to go off. Another night I woke up to use the bathroom, around 3 hours after I had went to sleep and plugged in phone, verified it said adaptive initially and now it said rapidly! Why would a phone switch to rapidly charging in the middle of the night. I might just dig out an OLD slow charger brick from the basement cave to prevent this overnight mystery from a gimmick feature.

I actually have a car charger that triggers the 'Charging rapidly' notification. I would link to it at Amazon, but I bought over a year ago and it appears they no longer have that item in their stock. You need to make sure on those that they have a USB-C port on them labeled "PD3.0" or I believe that makes them incompatible. The search term I used there was
Code:
usb c car charger pd 3.0 21w
The 5a uses a USB-PD 2.0 charge protocol, not PD 3.0. Any USB-PD charger should work, as there were very few v1 devices ever made. When buying a car charger I recommend a charger with at least two ports: a PD charge port (USB-C) and a QC charge port (USB-A). The latest ones will support PD 2/3, PD 3 PPS, and QC 4 (and even 4+ and 5) on the USB-C port, and QC 2/3 plus several other protocols with the USB-A port. That pretty much covers the great majority of smart phones. I just bought a three port (2xUSB-C, 1xUSB-A) car charger. The USB-C ports are identical except that one is 30W (for phones) and the other is 100W (for laptops and tablets, or another phone). Note that increasingly new devices are requiring the PD 3.0 PPS, and there are fewer chargers available that support that. Also, higher power charging requires a special cable with a supporting IC inside so I ordered the package that included charger and cable.

A good 2 port car charger with 65W PD: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002851748989.html
As has been stated, a USB-C Power Delivery compliant charger is required to charge at the maximum 18 watt rate.
Power Delivery is a USB-IF standard, whereas Quick Charge is a Qualcomm proprietary standard.
Hey Folks!
Is it okay to charge pixel 7 (It supports only upto 20W charging ig) with a 65W charger? Will this have any ill effects on the pixel's battery life overall the device in any way?
It should be okay. Most likely your 65W charger uses quick charge technologies and will charge your phone at higher voltage instead of high current which is good for your phone (i.e. 1.3A at 11V instead of 3A at 5V). This result in much less heat generation which is the main battery killer.
In any case, your phone will only pull what it needs (and can) from the charge.
I use the 65W of my dead OnePlus phone without issues. The phone only pull a total of 25W anyway.

Hi, thanks for the reply. "Output: 5V~20.3V=3A (Max)" is what is written on my charger. Is it okay?
there is a voltage regulator, should be fine...
I've tried m1 macbook air charger with my P7 and phone recognizes it as "charging rapidly" and been charging impressively fast!

I think it's safe. I use my 65w mac charger for my P7 and its impressively fast. The phone runs hot while charging tho so I don't use it while it charges. Haven't had or noticed any issues so far.
It doesn'n matter how fast is the charger, the phone also controls the charging speed. If the charger uses the power delivery standard (wich is used by the Pixels) you can use even a 65W one (like Oneplus 8T's warp charger; 45W as PD), charging speed will be limited at 20/23W (7/7Pro). But if you use the 65W Realme charger (wich is also a warp charger but with USB-A output and without PD support), charging speed will be limited to 10-12W.
As long the charger is high quality, you should be fine. As mentioned before, the charger and phone negotiate charge voltage and current.
