[Q] How to make charging quick?

Do we have any kernel mod or something for making charge quick than normal?

AFAIK, no.

Thanks for immediate reply.. Am planning to search for higher rating charger ( I mean amp rating) will it make sense? Actually I discussed with xda mates earlier about this sometime ago but not in detailed. So am still in search for answer..

With higher amp, battery would wear out faster than normal.
Best way to charge faster is to never let battery drop down below 30% - 40%.
This would also extend battery life.

Higher ampere charger will force and stretch your battery. It will work but shorten battery lifetime. You don't mind buying spare battery, right?

Yes I don't care.. Cause sometimes I get less duration to charge my phone, so I don't care for battery lifetime but I do care the charge holding time/day..

This may or may not be related to op's question, but I've been wondering, does the "Enable USB Fastcharge" option available in some of the AOKP-based roms actually work?

The fastest way to make charging quick is to have a fully charged spare battery with you. Then the Note is charged in 20 seconds.

id be very interested in this too as my old htc had a 1.5A charger and a 1250mah battery, the note has a 2500mah battery and only a 1A charger

The note is most likely limited to a maximum charge rate of 800-900ma as the stock chargers only 1000ma
I have a 2100ma usb charger on the way, and with "battery monitor widget pro", it should give me some idea of the maximum charge rate.

Definitely.. Only those who doesn't care about life but care about charge duration can go for this..

Simply not a good idea.
The microUSB contacts are rated at 1A max, so any modification to the charge controller to allow charging currents greater than the contact ratings can result in a damaged connector and then your Note will become largely useless.
I understand everyone wants to play and muck about with their Note, but this falls into the category of "A real bad idea" so be warned.

According to batteryuniversity.com , lin-on/poly battery`s should be charged at between 0.5 and 1C , the Note has a 2.4amp battery , so you could charge it with a 2.4amp, though as i have already mentioned the note is most likely limited to between 800-900mah charge rate.
The good thing about having a powerful charger, is that it will barely get warm, and the components inside will give a much cleaner output, than a low power one, signs of a struggling power supply can be, getting very hot, flickering on the phone that`s being charged`s screen as the power/voltage is fluctuating, also a high pitched noise.

and how long does it take you to charge full from 1%?
When I use 1A charger from HTC it takes me +- 5 hours to full....
With charger from Ipad it takes 1,5 hour
So maybe my battery is dead already???

Quickcharge 2.0 Chargers

Anyone know of one available for the M8? From what I understand the M8 currently has the feature disabled however according to the qualcomm site they recently launched the 2.0 charger.

Hi, Qualcomm announced the availability of its 2.0 charger in Europe this summer. No specific date.

I thought mine charges pretty fast from the charger i got out of the box. when i plug it into my in car charger i get a message about not being able to fast charge with this charger, so is the charger that comes woth the phone not already fast charge?

I've bought this one BlackBerry Playbook internationaler Hocheffizienz-Reiselader (5V, 2A) von Blackberry http://www.amazon.de/dp/B004XKG7NM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_A68Rtb1NG67TT
OK it's not a quick charger 2.0 but it charges the phone from 13% to full in 1h 30m!

If I remember correctly the HTC one m8 shipped with a quickcharge 1.0 adapter. They are supposed to release a 2.0 later this year.

How much of an improvement is 2.0 supposed to bring?

I think I heard a full charge in 45min

I bought one of those BlackBerry chargers and it's scary fast. I didn't know a phone could charge that quickly. I am genuinely a little afraid of it, that it'll ruin the battery. Phone doesn't get exceptionally warm charging with it, but why all this fuss about Quick Charge 2.0 if this $5 BlackBerry charger can charge in equal or less time? Surely there must be something dangerous about it.

I think the temperature difference between the original charger and the blackberry is about 2-3 degrees. For example when I charge the phone the battery temperature is 37-39 degrees.

Thanks for the info, but if it's as minimal as you say, which presumably shouldn't harm the battery (people set their thermostats to wider differences than that) then what's the big deal about Quick Charge 2.0? Just give everyone power supplies like the Motorola one. Is there some other factor which could harm the battery that temperature alone wouldn't indicate?

I've been using my blackberry playbook charger and it does the job in just over an hour. Never seen a phone charge so fast! No overheating either.

Looks like a standard 5V 2A charger. Have you measured it against another 2A charger to see if it's quicker? Trying to work out what's different.
By the way, the difference between this and QuickCharge 2.0 is 4 volts. Quick Charge 2.0 will deliver 9v 2a. So technically should be quicker then this PlayBook charger.
I believe the HTC bundled charger is actually a Quick Charge 1.0 compatible (1.5A) charger. Quick Charge 2.0 however is disabled at present. So apparently we won't be able to make use of any Quick Charge 2.0 chargers until a software update is sent out by HTC, as there is a chip integrated in to the wall charger which works in tandem with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip in the M8 for the feature to work.

Hehe, you wish!! Official statement from Qualcomm is: "3300mAh battery 0-60% in 30min" but after that is slowing down to protect battery from overheating... So I would say 0-100% in 1hr.. Still damn fast! 9V can make the difference...

I'd rather the future phones have qi charging. HTC could still do metal but perhaps a plastic inlay to accommodate a coil.

I'm still wondering about the heat issue. It gets really hot now with the QC 1.0 charger and that's only 7.5W. And I'm guessing the QC 2.0 will be at least 13.5W, so how will they manage the heat issue? We'll have to wait and see..

Difficult to define "really hot", I mean I wouldn't consider under normal charging conditions that mine gets "hot". It will warm up if I use say the internet whilst charging. But I'd never consider it to get really hot.

Well, need to have a thermometer handy Also depends on the ambient temperature of the room and the surface upon which it is placed. Also depends on which stage of charging it is in. During the 0% to 50/60% charging stage, it can be quite hot to the touch. As in uncomfortable to hold. But then it cools down as the rate of charging slows down until it reaches 100%. During the 60-100% it is hardly noticeable that it's charging.

Fresh out of infrared temperature guns here
Just my own observations, that at any point during charging, I've never noticed it becoming 'really hot'. Granted, ambient temperature plays a part, as whilst charging in vehicle with satnav running it'll get quite hot. But under normal charging conditions, it should not be getting really hot.

Fast Charge.

Is there a setting I need to enter to get the fast charge rate to turn on? I am charging the Note5 and its rate is at 425 mA with the screen off. My Note 3 Charges at 1800 mA with the screen off. I've switched outlets to see if it would help, but no.
How's everyone else's charge rate?

It's automatically as long as you using the Samsung original fast charger... Also check how long the full charge take.. Should be maximum 90 minutes

Try switching the charging cable with another. When I got my Note 4 I had a similar issue due to the cable.

Try turning your charger around in the wall. With my s6, it won't fast charge if the polarity is backwards.

Very true. I had some aftermarket much longer white cables, and they are SLOW. I just changed by Tab S to a shorter black cable that probably came with a charger I got, and it is charging normally. Odd that a cable can be slow, but it can.

I did not use it yet. How can i understand its charging first ?

Very slow charging time... Need suggestions

so I just bought p8 lite 2017 model and everything is good so far but as it comes with only 1 Amp charger , charging time is very long almost 3 hours .... so anyway to increase charging speed?? can I use 2Amp charger?? will it effect my battery if use 2A charger??

I use 2amps, it charges faster and battery is still great.

I'm using a 5v 2.1 amp charger with no issues. Full charge takes about 1hr 20 mins

Hi.
I got 5V 1A (HW-050100E01) with my PRA-LX1
Would be better to change it for 5V 2A (HW-050200E01) or 9V 2A (HW-059200EHQ)?

Are you sure a 2AMP charger makes a difference compared to the stock charger that ships with the phone? Could you download an app that measures the charging rate & post a screenshot of the charging rates?
I've tried charging with both a 2AMP charger and the stock & the results are the same, I see no difference in charging speed & no difference is shown on the "Ampere" app, both charges at around a max of 980ma with screen on (I assume it goes up to 1A, when screen is off).

Sorry, i changed like 4 different phones since that post.

Try to use 5V 1.5 A charge perfect and fast about 1.30 full , and no affect battery , im not using stock charger with 1A because charge very slow.

differences between wall charger and Anker powerbank charge times

I got an Anker USB-C PD 10k watt charger for Christmas. It seems to charge my phone multiple times faster than the wall charger included with the phone. Is this due to the PD protocol? If so, could I expect a PD wall charger to do the same?
Sorry, seems dumb but wasn't sure if something else factored in

Were you using your device while it was charging? As that could have an effect on your device's recharge time.

If you are using the original N9 charger with adaptive fast charging, then the max rate is 15W, the same as via any PD charger.
Observed differences could be because of screen on, battery level, and temperature. Or could also be a worn out cable.
