I got an M9 today, and im trying to see if my Adaptive Fast Charging cable from my S6 would work on my M9. On my s6 it tells me if fast charging is enabled, meanwhile this M9 says nothing. Is there anyway to know if it is actually fast charging without actually watching the charge and see if its "fast"?
I have the HTC quick charger and there are no messages or indicators that fast charging is in effect. Also, the Samsung quick charger did not appear to work on my M9.
Thanks man, so im kinda guessing I just have to watch real world usage and see... What a bummer
I tried using my Nexus 6 quick charger but I don't think it really charges quickly
That's disappointing that other quick chargers don't work on the M9. You would have thought that if the charger is Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 certified then it should work, right?
Some do. The Motorola quick charger that came with the Nexus 6 works fine with my M9.

that's the problem their not all "Qualcomm Certified" some chargers sold as quick chargers are the old Qualcomm Quick Charge 1.0 and only supply 1.5a at 5v and not the true 18W - 2.0a at 5v
Even the HTC rapid charge 2.0 is only listed as Output 5V at up to 12Watts/1.5A
The list of Quick Charge 2.0 devices is not that large
Quick Charge 2.0 Compatible models:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4/Edge,
Google Nexus 6,
Sony Xperia Z4, Z4 Tablet, Z3, Z3 Compact, Z3 Tablet Compact, Z2 Tablet,
Motorola Droid Turbo, Moto X 2014,
HTC One M9, HTC One (M8), One Remix (Verizon Mini 2), Desire EYE,
LG G Flex2,
Xiaomi Mi3, Mi4, Mi Note, and more

but it would be no big surprise to me if samsung didn't put something in their charger to disable the quick charge function on non samsung phones
Im using the stock HTC charger and its telling me 9 hours until fully charged, lmfao.. wtf
Just acquired a note 4 adaptive fast charger, i'll give it a test vs the htc charger with minimal apps installed, the original S5 charger with a normal cable charges the M9 very quickly, this isn't a fast charger afaik, but it does the job a lot quicker than the original M9 one does.
Will see how it goes.
Just charged from 50 to 100 in 70 mins.
2 hours 20 minutes or there about.
That is not fast charging, at least not QC2.0 speeds. You're describing something probably charging 1100-1500
QC2.0 can charge from flat to fat in about an hour and ten minutes. +1800 - +2400 - think this is the one I'm using right now: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...9167&sr=8-1&keywords=quick+charge+2.0+charger $15, it charges in average about +2000mA.
That said, it would probably charge faster if the screen stayed off. Seems to drop down to +700mA when the screen kicks on, which it does at every notification.

It's not too bad is it? I thought my phone charged pretty quick using that
I have an older HTC charger at work that charges fairly slow. It appears to be around +700-800mA. The charger that came with the phone is much quicker. I assume it must be around +1200mA based on charge time. If I'm near a dead battery, I can get it back up to 100% in around 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

With standard charger I found that by not touching it charges quicker, once you start using it takes time. Same with in car it annoymed the most with how long it took.

i would have said it's a small charger ...
It is a 1A charger, but Battery Widget Pro evaluates charge at 650 mA ( = 0.65 A ) for me.
Charging a 1800 mAh Li-Ion at 1.8 A will last one hour.
Charging a 1800 mAh Li-Ion at 0.6 A ( 1.8 / 3 ) will last 3 hours.
It is just as simple as this for Li-Ion and Li-Po batteries.
I can even say that your USB charge at approximately 300 mA even not knowing your specs ...
I think we can use a 2A charger without destroying the battery,
but i think HTC deliberately "lowered" the charge rate ...
Maybe someone here already tested a 2A charger and see a difference ?

Would you rather have it charged more quickly (like 1h or 1.5h) generating more heat and thus decreasing your battery life on phone which doesn't sport a removable battery?
I'm glad it's not that fast, the battery will last longer this way. If you don't care about that, get a "faster" charger and destroy your battery more quickly than the rest of use

Yes, i'm sure of that limitation too, but why does it charge in only 3 hours.
Looks like it is limited to 0.6A or my charger only charge at 0.6A
and doesn't have a good efficiency.
The two main possibilities are a bad battery which takes more time to charge
or a low charge rate from the charger.
While i suppose my battery is new and in good shape, it can be only due to charger or "software" limitation.
So for me the limitation is more like 600 mA and not 1A ...

Perhaps your not a heavy power user in a corporate environment who needs to charge the phone a decent amount in the airport, during the day, and so forth. HTC created a bigger problem by not allowing you to replace the battery.
Not hating, just saying, bro.

Learn about batteries before complaining about a phone you bought using a battery you don't understand. Lipo is not a Duracell and it needs to be used and charged properly.

Seems more like you have a defective charger, or at least not one rated at 1A. Try a different one?
Even with a 2A charger I have, phone does take a dreadfully long time to charge. My Galaxy Nexus with the extended battery charges to full in about 1/3 the time.

It won't make any difference; the phone charges at ≈800 mA.
So even if we use a 2A charger the phone wont take more than 800mA ?
Exactly. I think it's overheating protection.
these things are amazing! no more do i have to worry about htc one x battery, all i do is charge it up, 1amp at 5voltes or 2 amp at 5 volts, doesnt get any better than that! it also charges up other phones as well!
the one i got is this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270939385624?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
but if you want go on ebay and type in "battery 10000 " or "battery 8000" and you get different battery banks,
i paid 25 quid for mine, awesome!! using it for all my phones and devices!!

hi there guys,i got a good 3 full charges and a half out of it, seems pretty decent and plenty of juice keeps my one x going, kept in the car the last few days and been gaming alot on my one x, here is a pic,
its about double the thickness of the htc one x
it took under 2 hours to charge, you can charge at 1amp 5v or 2amp 5v, obviously 1amp 5v is what you use for the one x, i dont know the exact time as i left my phone to it, then came back and it was done 100%
first 2 charges of the battery pack take 20 hours at 1amp 5v, then after that u are sorted

I agree, having had the Philips Power2Go SCE7640 for the last 3 years or so, it's been great for long-haul journeys, not having to worry about finding somewhere to charge the phone.
is this claimed 10,000mah capacity for real??
yep, the thing takes 16 hours to charge fully, but it will charge my phone about 8 times over, its not that chunky, here is a pic, i can fit it in my pocket, keep it in my car, or in my shoulder bag, it goes everywhere with me

We can’t always trust specs when it comes to cheap no-name batteries and battery packs on eBay. If you already have it can you do some testing and confirm that it charges at 1A (i.e: can fully charge from a low battery level in 3hrs) and that it can charge the phone at least 4 times from a single charge ?
I'm more concerned about the charging speed than the actual capacity. I'd be happy with 5000mAh pack if it can charge as quickly as an AC adapter.

Your assumptions are incorrect unfortunately....
its 10000mah at 3.7v
most of our devices are 5v like the htc one x....
This is the same for all batteries that I have seen, so even my 5000mah battery will only charge the phone maybe twice.....
10000mah am guessing about 3.5 times.... take in other aspects like losing power through heat and the quality of the cable and connectors too......

Micro USB port uses 5v to charge, but that is not the voltage of the battery. Most mobile phone batteries are 3.7v including HTC One X. Therefore 10,000mAh @ 3.7v ~= 5.5 times the One X battery's capacity

I was right
Basically my 5000mAh rated device will get less than 2 full charges for the HOX....
I paid about this much for mine about 2 years ago, but won't be spending more money as I only use it now and again on holidays.
yep is handy to have around if you are away for a bit, just remember use 1amp 5v charging usb port, not the 2amp, but im pretty sure the htc one x prevents over current anyway,, 2 amp is for tablets/laptops etc.
Just WTF. 10000 mah?! U crazy

Mine seemed to charge in about 4 or 5 hrs from 0% to 100%. I had the tablet turned off.

be careful about getting one who's voltage is too high. you can burn up your electronics easily.
This is the only tablet that while playing an high intensive game like Modern Combat 4 where it did not lose charge. It actually was still charging and gaining steadily. This means that I am able to play for as long as I choose without worry of not having enough juice. I have owned many tablet over the years the latest one before the Note was the Nexus 10 and that drained battery while charging while in use. Very happy.

be careful about getting one who's voltage is too high. you can burn up your electronics easily.

In that case I'm not even going to try a charge worth more voltage (can't find any above 5V anyways)
Thanks

Cable impedance can make quite a difference. So use short, thick usb cables. In a test from german mag c't an S4 charged fastest with a certain Huawei ps. If the S4 is also charging at 2A, this power supply could also be used here. Sadly, that issue of the mag went to the bin.

Yup this is true. Some cables restrict the current so even if you use a 2.0amp adapter it will still charge slow because of the cable. The micro USB cable that comes with the s4, s3, and some Motorola are the good ones. Generally they're thicker than most. Ive bought extra from Amazon. You can use an app called "galaxy charging current" to check charging in mah. There may be other apps out there. But it's good for knowing your tablet is charging at its optimum or if you're using a good cable.

Just got my G3 last night.
Loving it so far, but i noticed that the charging speed is very slow..
Also, the charger and cable that came with the phone gives me "weak power" notification even when I plug it into the wall.
So I have to use my old charger and cable...
any thoughts ?
Coming from a Note 3, this does feel slower.
Nexus ONE
I'm still using my galaxy s4 charger since its a larger cord. Charges about the same speed as my g2.
Yep coming from the note 3 I notice a difference too. It's gotta be the fact the note had usb 3.0

Yes, coming from the Note 3, the G3 is slow as hell. Actually, very disappointed on it but it is what it is.
I haven't even used the one that came with the phone. Use the blackberry blade chargers, they'll charge at about 1% a minute or so. Best 5 bucks I ever spent.

The charger that comes with the phone is 1.8 amps, the Note 3 comes with a 2 amp charger. Not sure how much current the G3 can pull vs the Note 3, but you could try using a Note 3 charger and see if it's any faster.
I had an old charger by my nightstand and when I plugged it in at around 20% it said it would take it 6 hours to charge haha. The included charger quoted 2 hours.
It's possible that your cable (or the charger) is damaged OP
I plugged my 2 day old G3 in yesterday at 18% and it calculated charge to 100% to only take 1hr46min. Your charger must be phuked if it is showing slow charging. All chargers I have that are over 1.5mAh charge at the faster rate.

Mine charges no slower than any other phone I've owned. I don't do Samsung, so I can't say anything about them. Charges every bit as fast as my wife's M8.

This ^^^. $5 on eBay for TWO of them. They're 6 feet long, and charge at 1.8A - fast as hell on my N5. I'll see how it is on the G3 when I get it. But they're honestly so good I bought 6 of them total. For $15, and how good they are, why not?
Did u try them? Do u have link from ebay?
