Confirmed fast charging longer cables?

Those who have their phone know the cable on the fast charger is 1 meter, which is not long enough to reach any table youd ever have a plug next to.
I tried two different type C -> Type C cables and neither would fast charge with the included wall wart.
Anyone find a longer cable that fast charges with our plugs? 2 meters would be great.

It's tough sledding hacking through all the different Amazon.com listings to get something with an actual USB 3.1 and 3A rating for a 2m cable. The ones I;ve seen are either out of stock, take forever to come from China or overpriced in the $25-30 range. Would love to hear from anyone that actually found one too.

I bought a type C to A from amazon for the computer and it charges rapidly on all my wall chargers down to 2.4 amp.
Monoprice was out, otherwise I would have ordered there. >>> http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13010
this is what I'm using, fast charges and mounts no problem.

I would bet this will work. same brand as what I have, they have a real thick jacket on them. It's a good cord.
http://tinyurl.com/oyahw4h amazon link
edit, I just read the description on amazon for those cords
....Note for Nexus 5X/6P: In order to ensure FAST CHARGING, please ensure the charger can output 5V/3A. The cable can afford 3A current did not mean it can provide 3A. We recommend use Google official USB Type C charger with our USB C to C cable...

That monoprice page is goofy.. title lists it as USB 2.0 and then the description goes on to talk about USB 3.1

Monoprice 2.0 six foot c to c cable charges just as fast as the 3 foot cable that came with the phone. High quality stuff. The phone doesn't support higher than 2.0 anyway.

USB 2.0 refers to the data transmission standard and really nothing to do with charging amps. Although, to be USB 3.1 compliant, I think the cable needs to be fairly stout to handle the increased loads in both data speed and charging power. My guess is this cable is in fact 3.1, but someone made a mistake updating the title.

I understand that. Monoprice's 2.0 c to c cable supports up to 3A. No point in spending almost double the price on the 3.1 cable..

What I am saying is that it is hard to even trust the 3A rating with the conflicting statements on 2.0 vs 3.1. Do you have the cable and have tested it? That would be different.

Yes I do have the cable. Monoprice has that 3.1 description on all of their type c cables for some reason. The 2.0 3a cable works just fine.. I just went from 49% to 82% from when I went outside to winterize my boat and when I just went back in to check my phone, not sure how long that was, but a pretty short period of time. I usually put it on the charger when I turn on the TV at night and take it off when it hits 100% before I do to sleep.

I ordered this USB A to C one, http://.ebay.com/itm/261840366171 . The phone says Charging Rapidly. I have not done any data transfer with the computer, but upon plugging it in, the computer detected it ok. It ships from the US, but took a little while with standard shipping. Maybe almost a week;

just got some usb-c to usb-a 3.1 cables from techmatte this coupled with my Insignia 5v 2.4a charger from best buy are giving me a "rapidly charging" icon on lock screen

It might say rapidly charging but I doubt it's as fast as the stock charger. I've used a USB-A to type C cable, got rapidly charging, but it was only max 1800 mAh as opposed to the 2800+ with the stock one.

I dunno about that. I have used a couple 2A Samsung USB chargers with type a to c cable and my phone charges almost as quickly as the stock charger at least in regards of empty to full. I think the difference between the stock and alternate high amp chargers that are around 2A is how quickly it can do a partial quick charge from say 0 to 50% but from 0 to 100% I haven't noticed much of a difference.

I got one of his cables to review... I got it to charge 2.2A + using a 2.4A charger. But I do think you are correct in that there probably isnt a 3A option with anything using USB TYPE-A. 3A seems to be the realm of pure USB TYPE-C.

I purchased this cable and it charges at the same rate as the short OEM cable supplied with the 5x.

That's really odd. Mine registered fast charging immediately. I tested with Ampere multiple times and received the exact same reading with both cables.

Does the Mix ship with a 3.0 fast charger?

This is something i haven't seen mentioned or confirmed in all the reviews i have read. I have read reviews of other xiaomi devices that said it was qc 3.0 enabled, but the charger that ships with the phone is not a quick charger and the user would have to buy their own to take advantage of this feature.
so does anyone know if the charger we receive with the mix is in fact a quick charger as the mi mix is on the devices that is qualcomm quick charge 3.0 enabled.

yes, as i posted i am well aware the phone is quick charge 3.0 capable. my question though is the charger that ships with the phone a quick charge charger. there are other xiaomi phones that are also quick charge but the user has to provide their own quick charger.
if i were to guess i do not think this charger is a quick charger based on my results compared to my nexus 6.

I got an Aukey QC3 5-Port Charger.
I'm trying to get my device empty right now (tough though as it lasts pretty long) and will test it afterwards.
Gesendet von meinem MIX mit Tapatalk

I compared the included charger with my Anker quick charge 3 charger using the Ampere app.
The given stats were marginally better with the included charger.
I'm not really sure what all the figures mean but they were there or there abouts the same, the Anker charger is Qualcom QC3 certified.
Not nearly getting the quoted charge times though with either charger.
At 53% it claimed 44 mins to 100%

Yes, it ships with a fast charger. It delivers:
5V - 2.5A (12,5W)
9V - 2A (18W)
12V - 1.5A (18W)
So yes, it's a QC2.0 fast charger.

I'm currently at 69% and on the normal charger it's 3 hours+, on the QC2.0 charger I have, it's 1.5 hours and it gave me the same for the included charger. Kind of disappointed that it's only 2.0.

What I dislike, and you can't use is the Wireless Charging with your phone and case, and a metal plate stuck to the back of the phone. You see, I really like the various magnetic holders in the car (I have one that works with the CD Slot of the vehicle to mount the holder, another that is a little ball mount that sticks to any flat service). They use a thin metal plate to mount to the back of the phone case, and the magnetic is part of the phone mount that is in the vehicle. If you place the phone with the holder and the metal plate on the wireless charger base, it will overheat both the charging base and the phone.
I REALLY like the magnetic phone mount, and do like wireless charging but it a moot point if you have a mounting plate on the back of your phone or case.
I am using amperage and I own two qualcom version 2.0 chargers one from my Nexus 6, and one I bought on amazon. The OEM Nexus 6 draws about 1.6amps on charge, and the Anker 2.0 draws under 300 mAH. The computer 3.0 USB port from a desktop draws 370mAH to charge the phone.
I will probably invest in a true oem qualcom 3.0 charger.
Pretty cheap of Shomi to not include a 3.0 charger

I'm revising my previous post, it seems that the provided charger may indeed be a QC 3.0.
I've been reading that if you use USB-c to USB-c cable instead of the provided USB-a to USB-c cable, you actually get charge rate.
I've also been reading up on the QC 3.0 vs 2.0. Both will max out at 18watts. But 3.0 has a variable voltage whereas 2.0 is fixed at 5V, 9V and 12V. You can see that in the below link, there's a nice table of Watts for each QC.
http://www.androidauthority.com/quick-charge-3-0-explained-643053/
However with USB-C to USB-C, it can charge at full 29Watts. That's a huge difference.
you can see that in the description provided by Anker here
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Type-C-Delivery-Charger-PowerPort/dp/B01D8C6ULO
You can also see here in this device
https://www.amazon.com/Lumsing-Charge-Charger-Foldable-Macbook/dp/B01I1OIO4A
it says 48W of power, and allocates 19W for QC 3.0 which means the other Type-C port is allocated for 29Watts.
So I think I'm going to be looking for something with a direct USB-C port as a charger.
Certainly, this may be all for not if the Xiaomi Mi Mix is limited to 18W of input anyways.

I have the Anker USB-C to USB-C charger, my initial testing indicate that the original charger (China Plug) and my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge charger (UK Plug) are capable of doing 23.8 Watts max, i tried to monitor the difference and what I noticed is the Mi Mix original charger seems to be adjusting the charging power more often (not really sure why and whether it's good). My Anker USB-C to USB-C went up to 28.9 Watts Max. All chargers seems to scale down their charging rate after battery reach 80%+ so I think the best way to test is to empty the better and start from 0%. I doubt I will be doing that test though as it's quite hard to empty battery on Mix and I am pretty happy with my Anker charger so don't think I will be using Stock one or my Samsung one.
Unless I go on holiday with multiple devices that still use old USB port, Anker USB-C to USB-C is my go to charger.

So I think what you confirmed was that the mix can take power at 29 watts.
That's good to know.

Just received this wireless charging receiver today that claims to do fast charge
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0Y5CS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it does charge much faster, almost double of the one i posted originally in this thread. i'm getting a charge on it around 950ma which isn't too bad for wireless i don't think.

Is there an app I can use to see if this phone is quick charging ? I have a Google pixel charger USB c to USB c. Trying that out now .I can't really judge because this phone is at least 1000 mAh bigger than what I'm used to lol.

Wireless Charger

I finally bought a mi mix 2s and now I wonder which wireless charger I should use with it. In the datasheet it says it supports 7.5W wireless charging. https://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_1382334.html would this one be a good decision since it says 10W?

xiaomi's own wireless charger is also 5v2A and 9v2A supprot.

Thanks, you are right... P=U*I so it's 10W too

Meizu 19$ 10W but I don't find where I can buy one

old Nokia DT-900 wireless charger working fine. around 2,5 hours for full charge (predictable on screen while charging but for real time must testing)

No issues with the Anker 10W pad. I like that it lights up for a bit when you lay the phone down but then goes dark to be unobtrusive.

Can i use my samsung wireless charger for mix 2s?

Every wireless charger that supports Qi standard up to 10 W max output will work with our phones..
I have different ones around here, from very cheap to the latest, all different brands all work fine. The cheap one since it's not a Quick Charge does take longer to charge the battery full but that's expected.

Question No turbo charge with other USB cables

The cable that comes with the 67w charger is super short so i bought 66w 3a or something cables that should support the turbo charge.
Not only it doesn't turbo charge but not even quick charge.
Anyway to bypass this Xiaomi only cables protection?

I bought a 100W USBC cable and have no issue to turbo charge with it if plugged to the Xiaomi charger.
Where I am a bit disappointed is I bought an Aukey charger and unfortunately it only fats charges but doesn't turbo charge

There is no "xiaomi cable only" or similar restrictions.
The cable you bought is just not "good enough".
You need a cable that supports at least 6A I think.
I have several cables and also cables that support Ultra Charge and are not from xiaomi.
But in fact it is so that even with these cables (Although ultra charge is displayed) is not charged as fast as with the original cable.
If you want to use the power supply with 100 percent of the possible performance I have actually only managed to do so far with the original cable ...

It's not about "Xiaomi only" cable. Power delivery is dependant on the lenght of the cable. For my old OP7T Pro the cable that came with the phone is thick as the one that Xiaomi uses. But i needed longer one and when i got it, it was thick flat cable. Looks lika SATA cable - like 2mm thick and 8mm wide. I'm thinking that if we want turbo charge with 1,5-2m cable it needs to be very high quality with the highest specs available.

You will get some degrade in voltage when you increase the cable length
The charger brick can output 67w Max and if you double or triple the length of the cable all 67w will not reach the phone
On a high quality (expensive) cable you might get most of it and on a cheap cable from the dollar store or eBay it might take several hours to fully charge because the cable might only be rated to send 5w ,10w or 18w
Other factors come into play like room temperature , how many apps are running in the background/foreground , whether or not you're connected to 5g , wifi , Bluetooth devices and whether the screen is on or off
Best results normally come from the cable that came with it and I read it's the only one that works with the mi unlock app to unlock your bootloader

Xiaomi really need to up their game on accessories.

I used my old OnePlus USB cable to unlock mine, and install new firmware, worked fine.

My OnePlus cable worked fine for USB related stuff but wouldn't charge at full speed and my LG one didn't get recognised in Fastboot.

My Oneplus 150cm dash cable displays Mi Turbo Charge / Rapid charging but doesn't count up like the original cable does when it displays Mi Turbo Charge.
My "ACAGET USB C Cable 2M, 55W 6A Charge Turbo" cable just displays quick charge / fast charging.

Accessories 2-3m Cable

Does anyone know of a 2-3m cable that max's out the charger? I tried the Acaget 2M cable but checking the battery app on the phone right now it says the original cable is taking 12 minutes to charge, I tried the new cable and while it does say Mi Turbo Charge it's taking 24 minutes.
Also does anyone know of a USB-C to USB-A Male Adapter that supports 6a 67w? I have a 100w PD 2m cable from Wotobe but both ends at USB-C and the charger is USB-A

12 or 24 minute charging is impossible with the 67w charger even under Xiaomi test conditions
They claim 36 minutes is possible but that would be in a lab with zero apps, wifi, 5g, Bluetooth running in the background and controlled temperature to prevent throttling
Regardless of cable

Because thats the percentage my phone was at when the new cable arrived.
I plugged it in and it took a sec to switch to Mi Turbo Charge while the original cable says Quick Charge then Mi Turbo Charge so i used the battery app to see what was going on.

Try from 0-100%
Generally a 3x longer cable won't carry the full 67w from the brick to the phone without some loss

Also does anyone know of a USB-C to USB-A Male Adapter that supports 6a 67w? I have a 100w PD 2m cable from Wotobe but both ends at USB-C and the charger is USB-A

Search aliexpress for 6A cables ?
There's many I've ordered a couple for myself too, there's 2m length there as well.
The one I bought says for xiaomi 6A so I guess I'll see when it comes whether it's a real deal or not...

Try from 0-100%
Generally a 3x longer cable won't carry the full 67w from the brick to the phone without some loss

The cable i'm testing is only 2m long. Would trying from 0-100 be any different on the cable, I tried from 59% today and again the cable was saying Mi Turbo Charge but was taking twice aslong again.

I've bought 3 cables from Geek and 1 from Aliexpress, the 3 from geek said 6A or 100w and struggled on my Huawei p30 pro nevermind this Mi 11 Ultra lol. The one from Aliexpress is 100w USB-C on both ends so i'm looking for an adapter that can support 11v/6.1a - 20v/3.25 which is difficult.
I found one earlier but its's only 20v/3a

Best use the original cable
Most of them won't reach full charge speed without it
Huawei supercharge also needs the Huawei cable and Huawei brick
They're almost propiatary even though they look the same

I've typed 100w cable and literally first result looks pretty promising - https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32864...exp_id=b816ec4f-2f4b-4d7a-81eb-0c2e5a822cea-1
It's from ugreen , they make cables for years so I doubt they would lie about specs... It's not some random name. Its 5A though , 20v 5a... Idk there's 67W cables as well but it's no name brands saying for mi 11 ultra "original" z:
I would actually look for 6A cable only , I personally have 5A cable 2meters and it charges slower than my 6a cable that came with phone...
Ah fuk... I looked at review of the cables that are in transit towards me and everyone says they are not as advertised , charging slow lmao...
Well I can't help you buddy... Buy from ugreen , anker , baseus and only if they have 6A cables...
Fk these no names... I'll start dispute as soon as it gets here

The more feedbacks and descriptions that I read the more scummy all of those Chinese Sellers seem to be...
Not a single one of those 100W chargers charges at 100W actually , many report much slower charging even on 33W phones. They even tucked away in to picture that it charges xiaomi phones at 18-27W , Samsung at 15W and Huawei at 40W ...
So yeah something is not quite right....
Most likely they don't have the correct chips inside cables to facilitate higher charging speeds. Either chip shortage or manufacturers just aren't following qualcom guidelines / aren't releasing schematics to them...
Idk , all ik is that I'm pretty sad now. 99.9% of cables are all fake/not capable so if my stock cable dies I'll practically never be able to reach the same charging speeds
I'll prolly do a more thorough search sometime later ... Fucvk

Buy replacement brick and cable from the OEM...
Xiaomi sell 120w brick, cable and 80w wireless charger set for about $70

I bought this cable at 2 meter
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002018211508.html
and this cable at 3 meter
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002080637956.html
I'm not worried about getting full speed but close enough would be good, that cable from amazon taking twice as long to charge is ****

Have you tested them both?
If so, how are the speeds like vs the original cable?

As soon as they arrive i'll come back and update this thread

Yeah, I agree. There needs to be a guide for how to whine on XDA.
