Z5 fast charging - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I've came from a note 4 with fast charging to a z5p with supposed fast charging. The difference in battery capacity isn't too much. However, the z5 charges so much slower. I've tried multiple quick charge certified wall plugs and a quick charge 2.0 powerbank, the official wire and other wires as well as my old note charger plus wire.
Is this a fault in the firmware or a fault with the phone?
I get the results with the note what I expect. However with the z5 it feels like going back in time with a 'normal charger'

Mines been okay, I even have an Aukey fast charger and it's at the same pace.

I've noticed that quick charging isn't as fast too...I have three quick chargers and all three have worked great for phones like the S6, Nexus 6 and even the Zenfone 2.....I'm going to run my phone down to less than 5% and then watch to see how long it takes to get to 100%. It could be due to the Z5 Premium having a very big battery (3450mah I believe)....My Nexus 6 seems to be the fastest to charge...I have seen it literally go from 10% to 65% in 20 minutes.

I'll try my luck this week and report back for you guys.
As an aside though, I've typically avoided using QC2.0 unless I'm super desperate. That kind of heat and power going to the battery just screams "device killer" to me. I've used it on a Nexus 6, HTC One M9, and a Z3 - same heat issues across the board. I think I'll be relying on my faithful Aukey's standard USB ports. (Aukey PA-T1 54W 5 Port USB charger, fwiw)

Please let us know. So far the assumed quick charge 2.0 is a let down. Be back off to Samsung if not sorted

Not OP but been using the Z5P for the past few days... QC 2.0 is pretty fast, but not as fast as I expected it to be. As far as heat is concerned, I've had no issues from it overheating while charging.

Sony is notoriously conservative when it comes to battery charging. For example the Z3 only used QC2.0 to allow more flexibility in charger cabling - battery current was limited to only 1.5A. With a normal charger you could only hit this if the screen was off with an extremely short cable, with QC2.0 you could hit it even with a thin (more flexible) MicroUSB cable with a right-angle connector that would cripple charging on most phones.

Probe not noticing the results as well with always being on the phone

I bought this one from aukey for €15,- and in dollars like $20

I purchased the aukey quick charge 2.0 charger. It operates fine with my old note 4. So I see this as Sony issue

The device is most definitely using QC2.0 for power input - my Powergen wall charger turns green when the Z5P is plugged in.
Edit: If I'm reading the kernel source correctly, charge current is 2.3A with no step charging. https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/ke...com/msm8994-kitakami_satsuki_common.dtsi#L986 - No way will you hit that without QC2.0 except MAYBE if the screen is off and your USB cable is 3 inches long.
Z5 non-premium is 2.1A with no step charging, Z5C is 2.1A below 65% and 1.5A above 65%

my z5p came with a 2.0 UCH-10 charger from sony http://blog.clove.co.uk/2015/06/12/sony-uch10-quick-charger-coming-soon/

Thanks for the input. Any idea about the drop after 65%?

That only applies to the Z5 Compact. Smaller battery makes it easier to stress it. In general, rapid-charging a battery is far more stressful above 60-65% charge than it is below this, which is why so many companies specified "time to 60%" specs - because nearly all of them drop the current past 65%. The Z5P seems to be an exception - it has a lower charge rate (compared to the battery size) below 65%, but maintains this charge rate up to the CC/CV transition point (usually 80-85%).
Rapid charging past the CC/CV transition point cannot be done safely.

Magnetic Dock with Quick Charger?

Hey everybody.
I just got my Z3 Compact yesterday and it came with sony's quick charger. That was nice of Sony... Now charging is so quick that it's awesome. <3
However, I plan to get a magnetic charging dock. Perhaps Sony's one or the one by Kosee (search for it on Amazon. I can't post links). I wish to know if there would be any problems if I used the quick charger with the dock? Anybody here with the Kosee dock and using the quick charger with it? I don't want to buy the dock only to get it overheat or something and then become a paperweight in the future. That would be very sad.
Btw, I'm from Canada. Bought the phone right after launch day. My very first, proper, flagship Android phone (I used a Blackberry Curve before). It feels awesome and scary at the same time.

I don't see why there would using it with the dock. Essentially the dock is the same as a normal charger, it only allows your phone to sit in a certain position.
Sony Quick charger? do you have a pic & model number, I wasn't aware that Sony have yet bought out a quick charger.

What's the Moto fast charger like?
Btw, when the battery level gets higher, the charging slows down. That's normal, right? I never owned a fast charging device, so I wouldn't know.
Is there any long lasting issues using a Quick Charger as opposed to the normal charger?
also 0-100% how log does it take with the quick charger?
I checked Samsung charger 5V/2A. From 0% to 10% - 10 min, 50% after 1 hour, full after 2,5 hours. I'm going to buy HTC fast charger witch is compatible with Qualcomm's fast charging 2.0 and will try it.

Interesting, the standard Sony charger that comes with the phone only takes around 3 hrs to full charge, saving 30 mins isn't that great, wonder if it can be improved on.
Sony's recommendation is to use the magnetic dock with a wall charger aka EP880/EP881 "quick charger." I regularly charge using a magnetic cable plugged into either a wall charger or USB 3.0 port, and I have not had any issues.
Just a heads up: I've noticed that the lower your battery level is, the faster it charges. As the level gets higher, the charge rate slows down. I've seen my phone go up 1% in 10 seconds (from 4% to 5%). However, when my phone was at 98% it took well over a minute to get to 99%. Maybe the fast charger isn't meant to make your battery fly from 0 to 100% as fast as possible, but to provide a fast (but short) boost when you're close to running out.
I wish I had done proper scientific tests, with apps and timers and stuff. But, I was lazy and chatting on my phone at that time. I can assure you that my above statements are true and not made up to impress people.
Another thing I've learnt: Even the Motorola turbo charger does the same thing. It's even mentioned in their website that the battery level has to be substantially depleted for fast charging. The rate will slow down as battery level goes up.
Yes that's correct, presumably a battery protecting measure, reasoning behind it will be that you may be in a hurry and want to get as much as possible in a short time on a very empty battery, hence the very fast charging at low battery levels.

The dock dont use the microUSB port
You only get the benefit of quick charge 2.0 when plugged in to the usb port on the phone. It has to negotiate the connection through data. Using a quick charger in conjunction with the dock will be exactly as fast as a 2 amp non-qc charger.
Wrong. Dk48 and presumably some magnetic cables ARE qc2.0 compatible. Tested on dk48 - negotiated 9v/1A
Quick charge 2.0 is 9v/1a?
So if I buy the original dock with cable i should have fast charging?
Can you please share charging speeds?
I'm struggling to decide if to buy regular wall charger or buy magnetic. Charging cable

Quick Charge 2.0 Poll

Sooo I just copped the Aukey 18W charger and I think it charges faster than the stock LG charger but I'm not sure. Isn't the phone supposed to notify me if QC has activated? I tried it on my G3 and it doesn't even show on that either. Does this thing even work in this? Also, main part of this thread was to start a poll on what you guys think the most effective QC is. Check out the poll.
A QC 2.0 charger will be about 20% faster than stock. Doesn't matter which charger you use. There are several good ones. And several threads on this already.

There obviously are but that wasn't my question. I asked which is effective for the G4 along with a poll. You answered nothing. Read the OP before commenting please.
I've tried every one you have listed plus the ZeroLemon and a Samsung quick charger and they all perform the same, a 20% increase over stock just like I mentioned in my 1st post.

Now this is a helpful comment right here. Thanks. I almost wasted my money buying a different one.
I took a chance at this no-name Chinese Quickcharge 2.0 charger on eBay because Aukey refuses to ship internationally from Amazon, and I was pretty skeptical but this thing actually works. No pops or sizzle sounds emanating from it and it charges much faster than the one that came with the phone.

I just recently bought an 18w Anker quick charge wall charger and it works great. It's faster than stock and doesn't make any noises like the one that came with my phone. What I like about this one is there is a light that turns from blue to green when it recognizes a device that supports quick charge (signifying that it is charging at higher volts). So far I am very pleased with this purchase, though I imagine it is just as fast as most other quick chargers out there. ?
Works great with Samsung Adaptive Quick charge... Also works much better with V10b-EUR-XX than V10a...
I read here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/The-LG-G4s-battery-recharges-23-faster-with-a-QuickCharge-2.0-charger...-or-a-Samsung-rapid-charger_id69692
And it said, that using the "QC2.0-enabled Motorola Turbo charger" it charged the G4 from flat, in 98 minutes.
It also said, that using the "Rapid Charger included with the Samsung Galaxy S6" it charged the G4 from flat, in 99 minutes.
So to me, that equals near enough makes no difference, 1% per minute of charging.
The Anker PowerIQ chargers also charge the G4 at the same pace, from flat to full in around 99 minutes. In my test, I was connected to wifi, and I used the phone as little as possible, but when I did start using it, of course it immediately started charging a lot slower. I have heard that it deliberately does this to avoid too much heat being generated, I think that was a post on here somewhere, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
I did tweet LG UK to ask if the G4 supports the 9V tier of quick charge 2.0 , but have yet to get a reply.. Maybe I should ask their support instead.. (Although on that point, I don't think it does, due to the tests been performed with a proper QC 2.0 charger, which still took 99 minutes. The fact that the Anker is only 5v, yet charges at the same speed as a QC2.0 charger, certainly implies that the G4 is only using 5V even if 9V is available on the charger..)
I do want to say though how much I like the Anker products, especially the recent ones I've bought (the USB 3.0 hub with 3x PowerIQ ports, and some cables to go with it). They feel really well made, a solid bit of kit to be honest.
But anyway, hopefully this post was useful.
I've only tried the Aukey and I'm very happy with it. So much so that I picked up the 10000mah external battey as well. It also charges quite fast.

The QC spec only calls for increased charging speed from 0-60%. After that it slows and then trickle charge kicks in when it's close to 100%. Going from 99% to 100% can take 3-8 minutes in my observations.
Unless LG relaxes the heat threshold to let the phone heat up a little more, we won't ever see true QC 2.0 on this phone.
The Aukey one most definitely does not quick charge the G4. Ill link to this other thread if I can find it again, but every single person with the Aukey charger said it did not quick charge their G4's. Several of them tested with USB volt and Ammeters. The Tenergy (and by extension, the Anker quick-charger, which is a re-brand of the tenergy) seems to work at 9 volts. Its a shame, the Aukey charger is pretty darn good looking and comes in a slick package. Its very odd because the Aukey quick-charging external battery on the other hand, does just fine quick-charging the G4.
Platinum 2.0 with QQC (Qualcomm Quick Charge )
Purchased at Best Buy on 6/26 for $24.99 What I have found is that it charges faster below 70 % and about the same as LG standard above 70 %. From te comments I've read I think LG is limiting QQC to protect the phone. IMHO
Using the Samsung quick charger from my previous phone (Note 4), and it works great.
I have a "Zerolemon" brand. It works good. I have another for the car... but not sure what brand. Like always, you have to make sure you use a quality cable before it will work. Coming from the G2, I pretty much already replaced the crappy cables.
I use ZeroLemon and Motorola Turbo. Full charge from few mins to 1.5hr instead of 3-5+ hours using 1A chargers
EDIT: USB Tester shows 8.99V 1.32Amps
I just got my Tronsmart 54w 1x qc 2.0 + 3x 2.4mA car charger from amazon. Works as well as the motorola turbo wall charger. Took about 30 mins drive to work to get from 57-97%. Ampere messured approx 1970mA charge rate at start.
Impressive packaging and excellent build quality. Came with thick gauge usb cable. I got at a good price following a slickdeals post.

I don't know about you, but my phone has hit around 112 degrees F when charging. I don't think I want it getting any hotter.
hi,
i've bought a wall charger from Aukey, and a car charger from Tronsmart, both compatibles with Qualcomm Quick Charge 2
http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00RCM0TGY/ref=pe_386181_40444391_TE_item
http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00XW0DET4/ref=pe_386181_51767671_TE_dp_1
and with theses 2 chargers, i have the same "issue" : my H815 charges at 6V 1,10A.
Can't these chargers go upper? 7,5V, 9V, 12V?
I received a zerolemon for review promotion but I don't think I'll use it for the daily usages. It is packed in my go to bags when I need quick charging but haven't really used much since LG provided extra battery pack dying the June promotion.
That being said I've noticed about 20% faster on ZL QC.

Choetech Fast Wireless Charger

I received my charger from Choetech yesterday and tested it with my moto 360 as well as a few of my other devices.
I figured that I should post my review (from amazon) up here due to the testing on the moto 360. I have bolded that parts people here will be interested in.
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Char...r=1-1&keywords=choetech+fast+wireless+charger
First, this is an amazing charger. Choetech always makes good products.
I received this in 2 days and set about testing it.
I was going to make a video showing off this thing fast charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 but I see that there are already 2 excellent videos up showing that. So instead I will show you the things they did not highlight as much.
OK, the quick charge 2.0 wall plug you can get with this is the best one I have ever tried. Just like the other Qualcomm certified chargers, you will get the self adjusting voltages (12v-9v-5v) to give you a super fast charge. The extra you get with this Choetech quick charge 2.0 adapter is the USB port on it is reversible! This is the first charger I have seen with this and I now think everything should have this.
Ok now to the real reason you are reading this. The charging puck itself is a nice clean looking puck.
It is defiantly thicker than the cheapo ones you get for a few dollars. It has some heft to it making it feel more premium.
It has rubber top and bottom to keep both the charger from slipping on your desk or the phone from slipping on top the charger.
It will most defiantly charge your Note 5 or other Samsung devices quickly.
It will also charge your older devices as well. I tested it on a few LG phones in addition to the Note 5.
I noticed no abnormal warmth from the charger or any of the phones I tested this with. This is a very welcome thing as most of my other qi chargers do have heat issues.
One final thing, I tested this charger on my moto 360 and it charged it flawlessly. Most qi chargers fail here and will overheat this watch, this one did not and it charged my moto 360 from 19% to full in about 35 minutes. that is about 15 minutes faster than the stock charger does.
I received this product in exchange for an honest review, this does not affect my opinion of this product.
The fast charging works for a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, right? As far as I know that's a requirement as the new charger operates at a higher voltage.

It will fast charge at a higher voltage on a Note 5 or S6 Edge+, but will work at normal speeds on every other Qi enabled device, including our moto 360.

I have not tried it but I would assume with how well the fast charge one works, the cheaper one should also work to charge out watches without overheating them.
Interesting charger! Are wireless chargers efficient and as quick as cabled chargers? How long does it complete 100% charging your phone?

Just from experience, no science here.
A normal Qi charger will take about 2 times as long to charge your phone as a standard 2a charger.
This fast Qi charger is about the same speed on a compatible phone as a normal cable charger.
The fastest way to charge is with a qualcom certified quick charger and phone, that is significantly faster than a standard charger.
Think I'll pick one up,no overheating,that's worth it alone.

Is QuickCharge 2.0 working with magnetic cable?

Hello friends,
I've bought an Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 (Qualcomm) Car Power Adapter and want to use it with a magnetic cable (original Sony).
Someone know, is this a good combination / is this working?
Regards, Chris

I have an Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 wall plug. When using a USB cable it appears to charge quicker than when using a magnetic cable (after market). The USB cable is higher gauge than the magnetic cable so that could be why. However, I do not think QuickCharge works on the magnetic connector. That being said the Aukey QuickCharge 2.0 does have a higher current and can charge non QuickCharge devices faster than the regular adapter. So I think you will notice it charge faster using the Aukey QuickCharge adapter and the magnetic cable versus a regular adapter, but not as fast as using a USB cable with the Aukey QuickCharge adapter.

yes, works very well for me. I use the same and it goes from under 10% to over 50% in 40 minutes. I slows down a bit after that, and the closer to 100% it gets the slower the charge.
You should be able to get from 0% to 100% in a little over two hours. The reason I bought a Q 2.0 charger is that it negotiates with the phone to get the best rate of charge, so even though it's super fast charging, the phone doesn't even get warm. It worries me when I plug my phone in somewhere I I feel it getting hot, it can't be good for the battery.
I recently bought a Quick Charge 2.0 adapter and can tell you that it made no difference to my charging times. Whether it's the standard charger that came with the Z3C, the Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, usb charging, or magnetic charger, my phone charges at about 1% per minute with any of those combinations.
Supposedly QC2.0 can charge up to 60% in 30 mins, or 2% per minute, i.e. twice as fast as a regular charger, but I didn't get close to that. I had a friend test my QC2.0 adapter on his LG G4 and it charged from 0 to 75% in 30 mins, so I'm guessing QC2.0 isn't active or doesn't work on the Z3C, at least on mine anyway.

The reason I bought a Q 2.0 charger is that it negotiates with the phone to get the best rate of charge, so even though it's super fast charging, the phone doesn't even get warm. It worries me when I plug my phone in somewhere I I feel it getting hot, it can't be good for the battery.

Thanks, you have solved my question aahahha
With the magnetic does not exactly work.
I thought that for Quickcharge the data lines of the USB cable have to be used, because the CPU needs to communicate with the power supply for switching to QC 2.0. Right or wrong?!
And the magnetic cable doesn't provide any data lines
i just replace my z3 compact battery it turns on but won't charge... how i can made the unit charge again please help... the battery is ok...

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus 3T can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Love DASH! I quit charging at night because while using WAZE on way into work, I'm at 100% in no time anyway....

Same here. This is the 1st phone that I do not charge over night.

DASH charger is indeed brilliant
Love the dash charging too. Such a big improvement for me. Plug it in, do some things, return and have a phone with at least 70 percent. Hell yeah. Good if you need to leave but dont have much time for charging. Even 10 minutes give you an enormous boost. Never want to miss that ^^
btw where can i rate this thread from the xda app??
i know its a silly Q but if i use a regular USB C cable , will the charge speeds be v slow or just a small % down
This dash charge is a real thing! 2-3 minutes gives you about 8-10%

DASH is the best charging experience of all times
The cable and brick are dope too indeed
EDIT
Exactly 1 hour 20 minutes from 0 to 100%, proved with a stopwatch

Because of the fact that the adapter is the one that gives you much or less ampere i would say it does not depend on the cable. I.e. when i plug in the usb c cable from 1+ into my tablet adapter that has 2.5 Ampere Output im not on dash charging. It charges normal. The 1+ Adapter does have an output of 4 Ampere, so it gives you the Dash Charging.
So i would say the cable from 1+ IS a normal Usb c cable. (anyone proves me wrong??)
Greetings
Love the dash charge
Dash charge is great. Charge up my phone super fast. Love it.
DASH is definitely great in comparison to QC 2.0 and 3.0. I'm just concerned about battery durability since the battery is not easily removable.
On the ampere app the max input current I noticed was at 3510mA, which is pretty insane.
All in all, awesome technology.

Never touched a wireless charging thing. from my knowledge i would say it depends on the wireless protocol how fast it charges.
i can't give you any hints if wireless charging is better/faster then dash charging
there are also differences in dash/fast charging. look to other publisher like Huawei or zte. they have different charging times and what you get out of it in you battery.
Now i consider buying this one hahaha
Dash charging is genius. Letting my phone charge after work right now. Picked it up and it was stone cold. Love that. Left it on for onky 20 minutes and i got my 40% juice back easily. Its just great. I love this phone wholeheartedly.
The speed my phone charges at is insane. 30 min and I have at least 60% more battery.
Dash charging works great and overall charging speed is fine.

Wireless charging is more of a gimmick than anything else, it's much less effective and charging currency is about 200-400 milli amps per coil, so at best your can reach about 1 amp with a triple coil charger. ?
Actually, a single coil charger won't even trigger charging on this phone, tried it and it gives up on charging in like 0.2 seconds. ?
