Charge using usb extension.

Hi,
Will charging the phone using a usb extension + original usb cable will make the charging much longer to be full?

The longer the cable, the less voltage reaches the battery. I've experienced this as well.

It depends more on the quality of the cable (section), than it's length.
Anyway, charging from a usb port delivers only (more or less) 500mA, from the power adapter : 1000mA, so except if you have one of those recent gigabyte motherboard including the ON/OFF CHARGE feature (enables ~1000mA output to usb ports), it's always better to charge from the power adapter.

How can we get more power to the Note during MHL use?

As I understand it, most phones connected over MHL-HDMI will slowly drain down their battery during the course of a movie or game playing despite the fact they are plugged in to an AC charger providing 5V at 1000mA.
This would hint that the MHL adapter is of course pulling it's own draw on the power supply and leaving a shortage of available power for the phone.
Assuming the phone has heavy load due to gaming/video etc does it actually burn through more power than it can pull from a 1000mA charger?
As I understand it, when in MHL mode it is the same as being in data mode, so the phone will only pull a smaller charge (<500mA) is this the case?

Confused on USB-C formats for use with OP3

Hi, I'm new here and my first post on XDA forum, please excuse for any incorrect terms. I received my OP3 last week and looking for to buy more USB type C cables and chargers to use at home and in the office.
There are several post regarding USB type C even from Google tech guy Benson Leung, but after reading them, I was still unclear. As my understanding OP3 uses DASH which is charging at 4A, thus drawing a max of 4A from the cable and charger. The available type C chargers and cables (type A to type C) on mainstream are 2.4-3A which are used by majority of the devices on the market. So in theory my OP3 can use the mainstream chargers and cables, but take longer to charge. However there is a warning: "Only use cables following the specification otherwise you can risk damage to your USB hub, USB ports on PC, or AC Charger if the phone is requesting to charge at a current of 3A and the charger cannot support it!" (in our case it would be 4A)
The easy option is to buy the DASH charger and cable from OP at 4A, but how compactible will it be for other devices. Will it also work on the mainstream devices, or will it cause damage due to the larger output? TBH I'm not to bothered with the charging times, I'm more interested in the compatibility/future proof of the accessories.
Thanks in advance for the replies!

The phone draws the amps it needs. I'm pretty sure all current phone chargers output 5 volts so no need to worry about that. There are a few different quick charging technologies and AFAIK the OP3 only supports Dash and Dash only supports the OP3. From what I've read the Dash cable is just a USB C cable that's thicker and has extra pins for the extra amps.
Dash charger + Dash cable + OP3 = Dash charging, 4A
Dash charger + Dash cable + other device = Normal charging
Dash charger + normal cable + OP3 = Normal charging
Dash charger + normal cable + other device = Normal charging
Other quick charger + Dash cable + OP3 = Normal charging (AFAIK, some say that OPPO quick charger allows quick charging)
Other quick charger + Dash cable + other device = Depends on device, if the quick charger and device are compatible with eachother the Dash cable should be able to provide the necessary current
Other quick charger + Normal cable + OP3 = Normal charging
Other quick charger + Normal cable + other device = Depends on if the other quick charger works with normal cables
Normal charger + Dash cable + OP3 = Normal charging
Normal charger + Dash cable + other device = Normal charging
Normal charger + Normal cable + OP3 = Normal charging
Normal charger + Normal cable + other device = Normal charging
Your best bet would be to buy a Dash cable and a quick charger that works with your device. AFAIK other quick charging technologies don't need cables capable of providing more current than the Dash cable already does.

thanks :good: nakkivene for a detailed reply, it was very helpful. I will get the DASH charger and cable, at least the thicker cables are somewhat future proof.

Power Bank Charging Problem

Hello, I have a PINENG PN-989 20000mAh Power Bank. When I try to charge it from the 2.1a port it does not charge (Shows a red X over the battery icon and shows as USB charger in Ampere) When I plug it in the 1a port on the same power bank it does charge (Shows a lighting icon over the battery bar and shows as AC Charger in Ampere)
I was wondering if anyone knows why it is behaving this way and if their is anything I can do to make it charge at 2a.

If I understand correctly the power bank is not able to charge at 2.1a port, have you tried using a different cable to see if it helps? The only other thing I can think of is it being a fake but I've never read of that being an evident factor. Or it can just be faulty. Would trying getting it replaced if your still under any warranty.

I try using a shorter cable (1.5f) and now the 2.1a port works as ac when charging. The official 5f cable still shows it as USB charging with a red X on the battery bar.

You can use different cables or devices to test

Is turbo charge and quick charge diff ?

I have an mi Power bank 2i which has fast charged enabled but when I connect it to charge my Moto one power ....turbo charge dose not get activated ....anyone facing the same problem?

Brother I have Qualcomm quick charger 3.o it support Motorola one power for turbo charge. means quick charge and turbo charge are same. I have both and have same charging speed.

Power bank don't have quick charge 3.o so please don't expect turbo charge from it

I have Mi 20000mAH Li-Polymer Power Bank 2i which supports single-port Quick Charge 3.0.
When I plug my MOP, it shows turbocharging sign.

moto one power turbo charge is nothing but fancy name given to qualcom quick charge 3.0. if you plug in any certified qualcom quick charge 3.0 adapters, power bank or car chargers it say turbo charge.

I have 18W Qualcomm quick charger 3.0 it's supported or not.
