need a quick help here. i accidentally left my charger at work overnight, and someone decided that its his/her's now ....ive searched around and cant find place to buy the original charger that came with the m8. HTC's website doesnt have it. amazon doesnt. even ebay dont carry it.
i need of a charger. currently using a LG G2 charger thats rated 1.8a 5v .....but with a super slow cable.
is the LG charger okay to use? will it damage my m8 in the long run?
i am also buying this cable on amazon. buy or dont buy?

yes, i know there is a quickcharge 2.0 coming out. seeing as the cable is only $5 ...im thinking it will do for now.
thanks in advance
HTC charger outputs 5V and 1.5A. As long as output voltage is same, you can use different chargers. Ampere value just affects charging time. Higher ampere means faster charge. In long term, it can shorten your battery's life, but I don't think 0.3A can cause an observable affect

I use all sorts of chargers. They are pretty much standard now as far as micro usb goes. As said some are higher rated some are lower. I don't think there is any that will damage the phone as long as its designed for charging and is 5v.
I too use multiple chargers and cables and the only issue I've had is a double length cable that works for charging but won't allow connections to the pc
XDA app on m8 running venom
I charger capable of delivering more current will not damage your phone since the phone won't draw more current than it wants.
Can anyone recommend one? Or does it even exist? I can't find anything online.
Thanks

From what I have seen and read, the most a Qi charger will output is 1amp
That link I posted is for those who have low amperage and having issues with Qi charger.
I was looking for a qi car holder, tho recent feedback on different models suggests 1a qi is not enough to actually charge the G3 while using satellite navigation software, due to the drain from the gps/screen/CPU. I found that using an old 0.8amp USB charger in the car lost a similar 5-ish% an hour when used for sat nav as when using an in car qi.

As hot as the phone gets on a 1A Qi charger I think you'd just be asking for a fire at 2A. I haven't found one either though.
I have this one and it's working perfectly.

we are talking about the Qi charger aka wireless!
I've been doing some extensive digging for a 2a Qi system myself. The highest available system is unfortunately 1a. BUT... In order to get the 1a, not only does the charger (transmitter) need to be rated for at least 1.5 - 2.0a output because of poor efficiency, but your receiver in your phone needs to be rated at a 1a output. This is why you see several people who are only charging at 600-700ma. For my Note 3, I have found a 600ma, 700ma, & finally a 1a receiver coil. The Samsung charging backplate is actually only rated at 600ma. Just make sure you look before you buy. I bought an Itian A6 charger combo and it only has a 600 also, but the transmitter I believe 1.5a. I'll just have to pick up another coil once my charger arrives. Damn China Post takes forever.
Anyway, hope this helps answer your questions. Wireless Consortium approved a medium voltage guideline and I just read that they have come out with a Qi system that is 97% efficient. Our power demands just need technology to catch up.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 PM ----------
The heat is due to the inefficiencies, most Qi chargers lose 25% of the transmitted energy, which ends up being the source of heat. The newer 97% efficient chips will be much cooler. Also a good receiver coil is thermally protected and will shut down the charge at a threshold temp. The quality of the receiver coil is the most important part of Qi. But don't forget, charging any battery rapidly will cause heat as well. There was a news story about 2 months ago of a kid who slept with her phone under her pillow and caught fire from improper ventilation. If your phone is heating up that hot, you may want to remove any case it's in. Charging up with Qi and a metal backplate isn't exactly the smartest thing to do either.
Yes it does exist

well I'm also on a similar hunt..
the closest option i found was the google qi enabled pad for 50$ rated at 1.8A out
and not too sure about this because the website doesnt say much but the samsung one is 2A
Oops didn't see Qi Charger :X
According your description I don't think it exists. I believe the charging power not only depends on the charger, but also on the Qi receiver in your phone. If the receiver doesn't take more than 1A, then the charging speed would not have any difference regardless of you're using a 1A or 2A wireless charger.
Does anybody know what the stock LG receiver is rated at

My qi charger is a generic cheap one, its rated at 2 amp in and 1 amp out. I presume it only delivers 700mah cause of how inefficient wireless charging is, I was under the impression 1 amp was that max qi standards could handle at the moment?
Basically, if you want a reliable and fast charge then you can't beat a wired connection. I don't understand really what difference it makes from plugging in a cable on the bottom to placing it on a Qi charging mat/pod. From what I have read, wireless charging is not really good for ur battery and should not be a substitute for a wired charger.
If you get a good 2A charger it will charge the phone in about 100 minutes if you are not using it.
Did someone try Samsung S6 Qi Wireless Pad with LG G3?
I'm considering to buy it but saw on Samsungs website that charger is 2A and it is not recommended to use it with lower amp adapters because it may damage it....
The G3's 1.8A...
Will that adapter give any harm to Qi Pad?
Thanks for any reply
that"s why i find wireless chargers gimmick
why should i put a 2a charger in the QI charger too fùking output 1A why...
i have a wirless charger and its anoying cause u need to put the phone on in the right way. and it charger so slow i mean if you put your phone on the wirless charger pad why not take the usb cable and put it in... to get 2a fast charging. (and use a reversible micro usb cable)

Has anyone had any success with Quick Charge 2.0 on the VZW M9? I have the Tenergy Fast Charger, and it makes a slight difference, but the charging is not all that fast (averaging barely over 1% per minute). Yet, there's an Amazon review of the charger specifically praising its speed on the M9, and I see in the general One (M9) Accessories forum that others have found great success with Quick Charge 2.0 capable chargers.
This makes me wonder if VZW has somehow limited charging speeds on this phone. Or have some of you found success with fast charging? If so, what charger are you using?
I use the anker 40w 5 port iq charger, search that on amazon. I could not be more satisifed with how fast my phone charges (considering today's technology of course)

Yes, that is a very nice charger, though it is not actually a QC 2.0 charger. I think that is it's normal price too even though it claims to be on sale.
HTC 2.0 QC works great on my m9 got it right from HTC.com
So does the moto one as my wife uses that on her m9
As long as it says Qualcom Quick charge 2.0 on it you should be fine. I can get from 30% to full in a half hour or so. :good:
I have the Qualcom quickcharge 2.0 charger but use the stock cables that came with the phone. They aren't very well made and I have issues with my phone showing slow charge at times randomly. Can anyone recommend a good, heavy duty cable to replace the stock cable?

They seem to be getting the best reviews.
Works perfect..only thing I notice is when I plug it in.phone begins to lag,I swipe screen and it seems touch sensitivity in not responding well. Then I remove charger and sensitivity is back to normal.this happens regardless if charger is plug to wall or not.
My quick charge works from the car adapter but here are stats for the wall adapter

Got the Aukey QC on sale for $10 on Amazon...charges 1% every 44 seconds if I leave the phone alone...very impressive (as using a 2A USB port will charge at a very respectable 1 min 20-40 secs per 1%). I still get 1% per 1 min 15 secs if I am streaming music or web surfing....so very satisfied!

Nice! I have the AC one....my car charger one I bought back when I was on my M8...forget the brand but it is pretty good but not as awesome as this one...I like the two ports...One QC and the other a 5v/2.4A one!
I actually purchased the official HTC QC 2.0 adapter and it works great. 10-100 in about 75 minutes. Expensive @ $35 tho...

hi guys,
i have two chargers,
1. output 9.0V 1.67A or 5.0V 2.0A
2. output 5.2V 2.4A
and a usb-c cable, in the cable box i find that this cable is supporting for fast charging and support to 2.4A but when i tried it with the two chargers, and test it using 'ampere' app i got max to 1010mA with both chargers adapter ! even with this value i feel it charging my mobile quickly, and in the bottom of the lock screen i see 'charging rapidly' but i want more and why the phone is not charged depending on the values in the chargers (1.67A - 2.0A - 2.4A) and cable (2.4A)
The P2XL charger is 9V, 2A or 5V, 3A. Your amperage values are too low, which may explain why you're not charging as quickly as you should be. The solution: get a charger that equals or exceeds the stock charger ratings.
You realize slow charging is better for the long-term life of the battery, right?

Considering we often get new phones every 2-3 years, you won't see much of a degradation from rapid/fast charging.
Rather, you'll see a degradation from charging from <15% to 100% (which people do often). That will be a more significant reason someones battery will lose much off its lifespan.
I wish Android would have a built in limiter. I'm sure in the next few years, both iOS and Android will.

After seeing this I checked accubattery and it also says mine normally charges between 700 - 1010 mah also. I didn't even think about fast charging, I don't have the original charger but I have other "fast chargers" that don't seem to be doing their job either.

There's nothing I can help you guys with. All I can tell you is what ratings your charger should have, based upon the information printed on the pair of chargers I received with my device when I purchased it directly from Google. If you have a genuine Google charger and the P2XL is still not charging fast, contact Google.

I thought that charging capped out at roughly 1000 mA when the screen is on to protect the battery from overheating/putting too much strain on it. Which could lead to degradation of the battery. That would explain why you only see 1010 mA on Ampere - because the screen is on. I don't think Ampere measures while the screen is off, so it is difficult to say what value it would be giving you.
That is my experience even using the stock charger that came with the phone.

There is one other thing that you must also have. The Pixel does NOT support Qualcomm Fast Charging. It uses Power Delivery, not Quickcharge Technology. So if you have a charger that is labeled QuickCharge or a Moto Turbo Charger you will NOT get fast charging from these units. It has to be a Power Delivery charger with a USB C port and the cable must be USB-IF certified. If you don't have all of that then you don't get a fast charge.

That makes sense then, it seems like everything gets more complicated every year.
I just purchased one of these from Amazon. Note that it supports Power Delivery 3.0. This unit quick charges my phone. The Moto Charger I have for my old Moto G5+ which is a Qualcomm charger will charge the phone but only at slow speeds.

If it is really the OEM parts that will work. The pictures look like mine, but ya know eBay....
I am looking to purchase an extra 18W charger, North American variant.
Is it available for purchase anywhere?
The only 18W charger I could find on Asus' store mentions being a notebook charger.
But it appears to be identical.
Having used OnePlus phones, I do miss how easy it was to purchase accessories on their website...

I guess the original charger will be faster. Can you try and compare it?
I compared the two.
Note, that, presumably, because the OEM charger does not go up the maximum 20V of QC4 (only 9V) it is not actually a certified QC4 charger, despite using the standard.
Also, the power rating for QC4 isn't actually higher than QC3, it merely has finer voltage control, allowing for better efficiency.
Sidenote, funnily enough, my QC3 charger is two thirds the size of the ASUS downgraded QC4 charger...
I used ampere to measure current at 50% charge.
That said, I used a QC3 charger from my previous Mi Max 2, it definitely got picked up by the Zenfone 6, showing the two plusses in the battery icon. It reached a max current of 2.5A
The OEM charger reached a stable 3A.
A difference is certainly there, but my guess is it won't actually be THAT significant in the real world. Personally I always use two chargers, the OEM for fast topping up, when needed. And another really "crappy" (0.8A smartwatch charger) for overnight charging so that the majority of the charging I do stresses the battery as little as possible. No matter what Qualcomm likes to tell you, fast charging definitely shortens the lifespan of a battery, so while convenient, it's good to do it as little as possible.
If you REALLY want the fastest possible results, try and find a QC4 charger. Only a few actually exist to buy right now.
Otherwise you can get a QC3 charger, there are TONS of those, and you can actually get the pretty cheap too. You'll only lose 0.5A anyway.
You could probably also use a USB PD 3.0 charger, as QC4 is able to negotiate voltages with it as if it were a fully supported QC charger.
Edit. Tried charging with both from 55% to 71% (It just happened to be where I was at with one charger, then used a battery drainer to do the exact same charge).
The QC3 charger was one minute slower at 16 minutes, while the OEM did it in 15 minutes.
