[Q] How Do I Know if It is Quick Charging?

Plug in the quick charge 2.0 charger, there is no sign if it is in quick charging or just normal charging? Is there any sign on the phone to show it is quick charging?

Unless something is built into the charger you don't. The Tenergy has an LED the is blue when charging a non-QC 2.0 device and turns green when a QC 2.0 device is charging. Other than something like that all you can do is look at a battery monitor app and check how fast the charge is.

Check the current reading in GSAM.

You don't. But you notice that it charges from anything <=75% to 80%+- quicker then a normal charger. Reverts to slower charge rate from 80%-100%.
Only true way of knowing is to purchase an inline amp\volt meter. I bought one off eBay for couple quid. It plugs in to USB socket and you plug the charging cable in to it.

First of all, the phone will heat up a fair bit while charging. Secondly, you can connect to your phone with ADB over WiFi (with help of an app from Play Store), grab logcat and look for messages from the 'quickcharge' service. If QC is working, they will say that the phone has successfully negotiated 9V charging current with the charger.

You can just time it or something like that...

Where is this current reading in GSAM (screenshot)? I have the app (pro version/add on for rooted), and while it appears that one of my chargers is 2.0 compliant (based on rate of change on a graph)...I can't find where it shows the current/voltage option/graph mentioned above.
TIA.

Just post a screenshot GSAM whilst it's charging.

Turbo Charge not working , slow charging

My N6 is no longer fast charging and is slower charging over all.
I bought a new turbo charger, tried different cables, rebooting and everything I can think of short of a factory reset. It seems to be a hardware problem with the device but I could use some advice here. I installed a Play Store app called Ampere which is showing a maximum charging current of 650 mA which I'm pretty sure is well below what it should be.
Just doing a back-up now in advance of a full wipe, though I don't think it's software related.
Any thoughts?

are you charging via being plugged into a wall outlet or via usb?

while usb and wireless, thats a normal amount of voltage, but for a wall charger, if below 90, its not quite enough. normal would be from about 2100-2400mA. but, since about 4 months ago, my phone stopped fast charging as well. but i still get more of a charge than you. honestly, ive no idea what causes it. my guess is that its something with the usb.

Just to update- I RMA'd my device this morning with Google and they're sending me a replacement device. It became clear it was a hardware problem with the USB port when I hooked it up to the PC and the N6 wasn't detected.

Just a note to anyone else with this issue. Check what Ampere says. It will give the mA, which is useful, but it will also tell you if it detects charging as "Turbo"

Indeed, Ampere was showing 'Normal' rather than 'Turbo' on my device.

ill try it when i get home as well..

Got my new N6 and everything's good. Ampere is showing 'Turbo' mode and its charging around 2000 ma. Much better than 70 mA, lol.

battery charge rate question

My Nokia 8 shows charging on the lock screen and after few minutes it shows the time left to fully charge.
Just then I noticed my phone was on 19% and lock screen was on when I plugged in the charger. On the lock screen above the fingerprint icon it read charging rapidly and then it changed to charging slowly and went back and forth a couple of times, then went just said charging. I can replicate it 100%. Does what it says on the screen really mean it was charging slow and fast and fluctuating in between it?
Phone running oreo beta latest and using stock cable and charger that was supplied. Ampere shows 2910m.
What do you guys make of it.
From 19% to full charge the lock screen shows 3hours. Is that right for Quick Charge?
TIA

I have exactly the same experience with the supplied charger and other QC 3.0 chargers. I tested all the chargers in my house and found my old QC 2.0 Samsung charger is able to constantly rapid charge the phone. I have not yet been able to test of it is actually faster, will update when my battery runs out.

The same here.
I have a QC 3.0 certified charger and it is not showing fast or rapid charge. Looks like there is some issue with Nokia. It was exactly the same using Nougat.

Was able to do further testing and it seems the phone is quick charging with the supplied charger, or any other QC 3.0 charger. The supplied charger was 20 minutes quicker than my old Samsung QC 2.0 charger.
There definitely is a bug in correctly displaying charging rate when connected to QC 3.0 chargers. Also the charging estimates are about twice as high as they should be. The phone can fully charge around an hour and a half, but estimate states three plus hours.
Looks like a couple other people have noticed this issue on the Nokia support forums.

Battery charging issue since 8.1

Having issues charging with the original charger since 8.1. When I was in beta 8.1 the charger stopped after 5 seconds same when phone off and charging it just kept rebooting to charge screen. So rolled back to 8.0 and all fine. Now have 8.1 again and the charger has stopped working again. My Nintendo switch charger charges phone fine on 8.1. So is there anything I can try to see why 8.1 has stopped orignal Nokia charger Woking ?
The Nokia charger charges the Nintendo switch fine

Same
Same with me .. Need answer from the expert

Yeah same, mine charges now and again ? and at only 1.5amps! Weird because my QC Charger ramps up to 3.0amps!

I bought the phone four days ago, TA- 1004- Global Dual SIM. Immediately updated it to 8.1. From yesterday Nokia's original charger charges the phone only at 1.5A...

What app do you use to check the charge rate?

Ampere https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere

May be you can switOpen develop-model , then close usb debug model. maybe help you...

Try to close developer options in settings. Probably USB debugging could be an issue. Turn it off.

Yeah it's werid my phone charges full speed for a bit then slows down to 1.5ah

I believe Ampere is not really accurate together with QC. Used a small USB multimeter once and there you can see that the charging amperage during quick charging is not much higher then about 1.4A.
One of the characteristics of QC is that the voltage during charing is boosted. At 'peak power' the multimeter showed 12V & 1.4A, thus charging at almost 17W instead of the 'normal' 5V & 1.5A (7.5W).

Hi i am new here so forgive me
i have been checking the QC from beggining and it seems at 9V i get 7V and 1.44A and seems its a new type of battery that works this way at 4.3 volts instead of 5v at 1.79 get from other phones with a 4.2 volt battery.
changed charger with 5V 2.1A and it still went up to 1.44 .
i think the default charger is the only one to use.
i get a day and a half with fb and games seems that it doesnt get hot

Agreed, standard charging is at 5V, QC 2 jumps up to at 9V and QC 3 jumps up to 12V but Ampere's voltage reading doesn't seem to reflect these boosted voltages.
My old Samsung S6 (from which I just upgraded to the Nokia 8) says "fast charging" when QC is active vs "cable charging" at 500mA (e.g. when plugged into a very old charger or PC) vs "charging" at other non-QC rates... I had assumed this was an Android feature that the Nokia 8 would have too, but apparently not, which is rather disappointing. Perhaps it's worth a feature request in the official Nokia.com forum for the N8?

Correction: Looking at Ampere again, the voltage appears to refer to the battery, not the incoming power, it only shows the mA for that, not the voltage. So I'll log a feature request for Ampere...

UPDATE: My phone is model TA-1012, I'm currently running Android 8.1.0 with build number 00WW_4_84A_SP03 and I've noticed that the phone DOES tell me if it's quick charging, but only on the lock screen when it's showing notifications, and only as per the following sequence:
1) Directly after plugging in to any charger it says "charging"
2) If it's plugged into a QC2.0 or QC3.0 charger (and using a compatible cable) then after a while (not sure how long exactly, seems to be about 2 mins) this changes to "rapid charging"
3) After another while it changes to "charging (XX mins until full)" or "rapid charging (XX mins until full)" depending on the type of charger (and cable)
However, the phone is supposed to support QC 3.0 but the charging time estimate is always the same no matter whether I use a QC 2.0 or 3.0 charger, which suggests that it's actually a QC 2.0 device.

So i talked with Nokia support about the charging issue. They told me how to fix it...
1. Settings -> apps & notifications -> see all apps -> press the 3 dots in the up right corner -> show system -> battery protection -> storage
-> clear cache and data
2. Soft reset the phone.
How to do a soft reset: Press the Power button and Volume Up until you see "Powered by Android" on the screen. You can then release the buttons . Thats it.

its fast charging , it doesnt fast charge from 0 -100 . it works like this on nokia 8 : from 0-40 3amp , from 40-80 1.5amp , from 80-90 1amp , and decreases slowly from that.
but i have another problem , i dont have original cable and charger , my cable is anker powerline+ and my charger is xiaomi qc3 charger . my problem is that from 0-40 when its fast charging it keeps disconnecting and connecting every 10-15 sec.
BTW u can check your charge status when ur phone is locked (rapid charging = fast charging , charging = normal charging"this is from 80-100" , slow charging = somthing is wrong check ur cable or charger)

Is the P30 Pro compatible with Quick Charge 3.0?

Hi guys,
I just got a quinck charger 3.0 from Anker, the P30 Pro is saying it is in "Quick Charge" but it sometimes charge at 2.5A and often at 1.2A.
Do you know if there are some compatibility issues?
Thank you!

It is compatible, iv got a qc3 charger and it shows quick charging by 2 lightening bolts on the battery. Works with wireless quick change as well.

Thank you. It says quick charge, but it never goes up to 3A. it moves between 1.2A and 2.5A, that's why I'm not sure it works correctly.

I still use it with the fast charge cables (purple ones) I think they handle the power to them
