I Was just wondering. What is the recommended watts during charging?
I got this cute solar panel pumping 0.4W and It's charging sloooowly. Is there a way to see how many mA/h your phone eats?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Try *#*#4636#*#* on the phone key pad
might be in battery info
From my experience the desire needs about 700ma (3.5w) to charge efectivly (this is the least powerful charger I have that will charge the phone.).
Your solar panel is pumping out a whopping 80ma so I'm not surprised its not charging.
Use current widget (free on market) to see how much juice your using at any given time.
Don't forget no matter how powerfull a charger is it will only charge at 500ma unless the two data pins are shorted.
my original htc charger pumps in 760 -740ma when its completely dead and reduces the ma as the battery charge increases i.e 97% charge is about +120ma
Hi everyone,
I have an HTC One M9 from T-Mobile and I just bought the Aukey QuickCharger 2.0. I seem to be having trouble getting the rated QuickCharge 2.0 speeds. At 60%, the phone estimates that it still needs 50-60 minutes to charge, which seems to be about the same time as the stock charger. Could I have a defective phone? I've also tried a second Getwow QuickCharger but it has the same problem. I've also booted the phone into safe mode to no avail.

The phone estimates are horrible on this phone just let it charge a little while you'll see it works.
The first time i hooked it to my PC I had 60% battery left and it estimated full in 22 hours ... lol, it was full in less than 3 on a PC usb port
on the Quick charge 2.0 (I got the CHOE one) it charges from 50% to Full in about 30-40min
According to Qualcomm:
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge:
In laboratory tests using a 3300mAh battery1, a Quick Charge 2.0 enabled device went from 0% to 60% charge in 30 minutes, while a device without Quick Charge 2.0 using a conventional (5 volt, 1 amp) charger achieved just a 12% gain in the same 30 minutes. A device with Quick Charge 1.0 managed a 30% charge in that time period.
Scrolling down on that page it shows the most popular Quick Charge 2.0 devices, the LG G4 is among them.
So the G4 3000mAh battery should be above 60% in 30 minutes if it uses Quick Charge 2.0.
I got this charger:

Seems legit, but my charge times seem to be stuck at 1.0. That is it went from 19% to 55% in 30 minutes, which means it charged 36% in 30 minutes.
What kind of time have you clocked with your Quick Charger?
Also, my G4 got quite hot when charging.
Already a thread about this.

It will answer all your questions.
Has LG added real quick charge 2.0 to lg g4 in android 6.0 (Marshmallow)?
I know that officially, the phone has qc 2.0 but in real life the results are even not close to real QC 2.0 (in lollipop).
Can somebody who has android 6.0, check is?
QC 2.0 is within the chipset, you need QC Charger to check if it fast charger the phone or not. Give it half and hour to see how it turns out and compare it with another charger.
As per QC2.0 standards you should be getting 2% per minute for the first 60% (i.e. 0-60% in 30 minutes) and will then slow down. Like most other people here I only get about 1.2% per minute, which is under 40% in 30 minutes, using Tronsmart QC2.0 charger.
This is on Lollipop. Wonder if anything changed on Marshmallow.

Actully, it does support, but probably LG's software disable is in 5.1.
The problem is that I do not have 6.0 to check is they able in a new 6.0 Marshmallow.

You can install Marshmallow if You are using H818 Version Phone.Please check my below Post.

it seems to work on my 818N(HKG) running V20a (M), as on lock screen I get a "fast charging" notification (using Asus charger that has a high voltage mode).
Your 2% per minute rule work only on the lower end of the battery: capacity % bits are longer to get on the last end of the charge, so when you test your charging speed you need to make sure you test on the low percentage levels, as this is where the quick charging takes most of its effects (go from 0 to 60% in 30 minutes, but the last bit lasts about an hour or more if you read this http://www.tomsguide.com/us/fastest-charging-phones,review-2995.html).
To be explicit, G4 takes 1h02 to reach 80%, then another 34 minutes before reaching 100% charge
you can google about charging profile if you are interested in the topic, or read some tutorials like this one http://www.ti.com/lit/an/snva557/snva557.pdf
If you start from say 10%, how much charge does it gain in the first 30 minutes? That's all that matters.
I get only 36% which is disappointing considering there are HTC Ones that reach 60% in the same time, although the battery is slightly lower at 2840mah.
And Qualcomm's specs indicate a 3300 mah battery should reach 60% in 30 minutes.
there might be a problem with your charger (as in AC wall plug), as Tom's testing from 5 and reaches 42% in 30 minutes.
Or simply that your unit does not fast charge ? What does your lock screen say? Charging or fast charging?
It does support in lollipop, just no quick charge notification in the phone

On Lollipop it does not say fast charging even if it is. From Marshmallow I believe it indicates fast charging on notification.

It's not, the difference if only 23 percent. Moreover, the voltage should increace from 5v to 9v or 12v but in LG g4 even with QC 2.0 charger, the voltage isalway 5v.
What you get from your QC charger is just 2 amp instead 1.8 amp of original charger, this is what makes the 23% difference.
5.1/6.0 same : QC2.0 working....No need nothing adding...

Again, you dont get real qc2. You probably havent even seen qc2.
What you get is. 5v 2A instead 5v 1.8v.
Your dont get qc2 voltage.
I dont get why people think that they get qc2 when other phones with qc2 charging much faster. You get higher ampr not voltage that should be with qc2.
808 have an abitilty to control voltage to get 9v or 12v. But it seems like lg stopped it.

I just checked with my normal charger and 5.1.
I got 48% for 40 minutes.. Not so big difference for QC2.
the shady man has a good point
All I can say is, when I plug the bundled LG charger, I get no notification of fast charge. When I plug a 5V 2.1A charger I also do not get the fast charging notification .
But when I plug my Asus Zenfone2 charger which can climb up to 9V 2A, I get the fast charge notification. I need to check how fast it charges.

Just found the old photo, that is captured from 5.1 with qc2.0 charger, although the photo is out of focus, but you can see that the voltage is almost 9v

I wish it reached the peak 12V at 1.5A that will charge the battery to QC2.0 specs of 60% in 30 minutes.
Can i use my old moto turbo charger for fast charging ?
Which is 12v*1.5amps ..
Tried mine and no same charging speed
You can use it but it won't "fast charge". The Honor 7X isn't a "fast charge" device.
BUT (yes there is always a but), use the provided plug... it's a 2A output. It will charge a little bit faster with it than ith your 1.5A one.
Sadly no fast charging, takes me 3.5-4 hours to charge regardless of what charger I use.
My other phone only takes 1 hour 30 minutes...
Wow..

In The United States of America BND-L24... You are looking at 2.5 hours max. from 0 to 100%.
I'm usually, 4 hours S.O.T. a day average and still @ 50+ %..... only once have I drained it in 2 long days.. but I pretty much watched a movie.. made a sandwich and it was @ 100% again.

Carefull to the USB wire you are using. They have not the same caracteristics.
I've bought one without reading... and it can't charge any device faster than... 0.5A... So my new 7X or even my old HONOR 7 just discharge faster than it charge...

Yes, you are right in that regard, like trying to force extra charge when it cannot do so.
I did however purchase a new usb cable 2.0A and it does charge slightly faster, around 3 hours instead of 4...
I've lost my honour 7x original charger
Please suggest me which charger should I use
Use 5v 2A charger

Use any 5V 2A charger or if available buy ERD 5V 2A charger it would be cheap and best
