Car Charger

Hi guys, anyone could recommend a good car charger for this HTC One. I am running an app called Autoguard which records my trip. I manually activate car mode and this app but I realised my current car charger is not able to charge the phone quick enough despite a 2A rating with BT and this app running. It drains about 10% on a half hour journey! I have also did a little mod on my USB cable to short pin 2 & 3 but don't seems to work. I also read about charging modes (AC or USB) which the latter charged slowing whereas AC gives the full charging potential. I confirmed my current charger charged in USB mode. Any thoughts?

Seems like nobody has this problem!

I personally use the Motorola Rapid rate charger from Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000S5Q9CA/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367933488&sr=8-2&pi=SL75
It works for me and does a great job.. I've had it for quite some time. My Galaxy Nexus on Verizon while using LTE was using more output than input while I was charging with a no name charger before so I decided to give this a shot and it worked. It charged and the percentage went up instead of trickling slowly with the no name charger..
I used it now with my H1 and it charges pretty quickly

Thanks HYE_Tech, this is useful information!

I just use a two port 2.1 volt dual usb charger and just plug a regular micro usb cable there

But what would make the difference between charging the One ore not while navigating?
I have a mini charger with an output of 1A, but still the phone in draining while navigating. Could this be the same issue as with the Galaxy S2, that it depends on the usb pin layout whether the phone charges with 500mA or 1A? And if so, isn't there a usb cable which already has the correct pin layout to charge to phone with 1A?

The One doesn't seem to change charging rates based on the USB pin layout-- I have several chargers and cables with shorted data cables and none of them seem to charge the device at higher than 500ma. It's definitely the phone itself that's not drawing more. I think that, either via software or hardware, the phone is checking the wattage available and if it is below 5Vdc/2A, it only draws 500ma. I just ordered a DC adapter that claims to be rated at 5Vdc/2A, and it should be delivered tomorrow.

Well in my car the charger is a 2.1A charger so that should not be the problem.
Not shure what the voltage output is.
I shortened the middle pins, but indeed, without succes.
Where did you order your charger? Can you let me know if it's working? If the phone sees it as a AC charger?
edit:
I have this one: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/hama-ipad-p...8284/?Referrer=ADVNLBES0020159005000010898284 (sorry it's in dutch). So it should be a 5V charger but still no effect...

This is the one I ordered:
Kinivo CX420 Two Port USB Car charger - for all smartphones and tablets (4.2 Amp / 20W)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009TBF7IG/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If this one doesn't work, I'm just going to permanently mount a 150W inverter and start using AC adapters. All of the 2.1a adapters show as charging via AC, but it still tops out at 500ma.
edit: i've been posting all over these forums with the same stuff... here's a link to whatever thread I just responded to with the most current information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41797839&postcount=6

I doubt if that will work. The output of the AC charger is only 1A and 5V, so there is something else why the phone thinks it's on an AC or USB charger. Still haven't found out what though
I just took apart an AC charger, and guess what, the two middle pins are shortened:
So what else tells the phone it's on an AC charger or USB charger???

I really think it's just down to output wattage, and nothing more. I have plenty of chargers with the middle pins shorted, and even though the phone says it's charging on AC, it only draws 500ma. That charger I linked my last post has been actually charging my phone while it's in use, pretty nearly 100% of the time. It does dip from time to time, but I've noticed that the AC adapter does too.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I've seen some conflicting posts. Should I be getting a 2a car charger? I'm not sure what my current one is rated at as I haven't checked, but today in car mode and with bluetooth connected it was draining instead of charging and I'd like to fix that. I need a 2 usb port charger and I know most of those are not actually 2a per port, any suggestions? Is 2a what I need?
Thanks,
Tim

Unless you're using custom kernels, I believe the htc one is limited to 1a charging

I've used this exact same charger for some time now w/o issue on several phone types. I bought it based off it's many positive reviews and it has lived up to it's reputation.

I got my HTC One car kit,by HTC,its just perfect ,its made just like htc one- awesome build quality .Brings on car mode automatically just by sliding in the One.:good:

+1.5A Dual Android wall charger?

I recently picked up an Anker dual car charger (link). It has two ports labeled Apple, the other Android. Both ports can supply 2.4A, for a total of 4.8A.
When I charge my phone from the Android side I get very close to 1A, but when I use the Apple side that goes down to around 500mA. To note, I used the same cable and only one port was used while testing. I used Battery Monitor Widget to track the charge rates.
Either side is strong enough to charge our phones, but it would be great if they both charges at full charge rates. So now I am looking for a wall charger and ideally I would like a dual port charger that can charge two Android devices at over 1.5A. I know we can't use 1.5A but it will future proof the chargers for a while, or will work with tablets.

Maybe look at getting a powered USB hub? I know the 2 I have at home can supply more than the 500mA USB2 spec as they've back powered my raspberry pi with a hdd attached before.

from my limited research, apple and android phones use different methods for signaling AC charging.
Android phones like to have the data pins in the USB cable shorted to each other to signal the phone for AC fast charging.
Not sure what Apple does, but it's not the same. That's why there are two different ports on the charger. Android ports have the data pins shorted together.
On a side note, you can also buy "charging only" cables on amazon that do the data pin shorting inside the cable. this may let you use your android phone with the apple labeled USB ports.

This is correct. Apple devices want to see some combination of 2V and 2.8V on the data +/- lines to signal wall adapter charging. They do it this way because it allows the charger to tell the device what amperage it's capable of delivering (500mA, 1A or 2A) which is pretty cool.

It's been my impression that even using an charging only cable/adapter an Apple charging port will only give you 500 mA.
For what it's worth I recently emailed Anker about this and they said as much. I don't have an appropriate cable or charger to test it on. But Anker also told me they will be releasing new chargers in December that feature their smart charging port which detects what type of device you've attached (Apple, Samsung or generic Android) and then behaves accordingly. I just ordered one of their external battery packs (Astro3) which has one of these ports for 2.1A plus 2 x 1.5A Android ports. A similar AC charger would be nice if you can wait.

AUKEY 6-Port Desktop Quick Charge 3.0 Charging Station - Review & Unboxing

AUKEY 6-Port Desktop Charging Station with Quick Charge 3.0

Unboxing
It comes with an eco-friendly packaging and basic accessories: 1x Type-C to Type-C Cable, 1x Power Plug (mine is an European Version), 1x User Manual, 1x Warranty Card and the Charger (of course).
As regards the Charging Station, it is made of Plastic, extremely solid and without scratchy parts. Probably the most solid charger I have ever tried.
On the front, there is an useful Power LED (Green) that could be pretty useful if you need to find the charger in a dark room or just to know if it has been plugged properly to the power socket. Its color doesn’t seem to change, so it is just a standard Power LED.
Being a Charging Station, it couldn’t have had few USB Ports. There are 6 USB ports available, 2 of them Type-C with Quick Charge 3.0 support. Unfortunately, there are no full-size USB ports that support QC 3.0 (so, you’ll need an adapter), they support Standard 5V output, just with another technology called “AIO” from AUKEY that works on the voltage depending on the attached device. Follow my next paragraph to know more.
As regards the size, it isn’t bulky neither heavy. Photos tend to make it bigger than how it is for real, so it is better if you follow my measurements.
Efficiency
All tests have been done using AUKEY’s Cables, in order to get maximum efficiency and to avoid any possible issue.
I have tested the “AIO” USB Ports using my USB Capacitor (1A/2A), and the voltage is Stable enough under high-load.
Unfortunately without an adapter I won’t be able to show you any test about Quick Charge 3.0 USB Ports, as soon as I get it i’ll update the review. Anyway, I have tested both USB Type-C ports using my Power Bank, and I haven’t noticed any issue with Standard Type-C USB Output, rated at 5V/3A.
Under high-load (6A more or less), it reached just 41°C.
Conclusions
Being the most particular Charging Station I have ever tried, I can say that it impressed me. Solid Chassis, no Glossy sides, and an huge amount of USB ports makes it almost perfect. As I said for the Type-C Car Charger, it’s a pity that AUKEY doesn’t choose to include a Type-C adapter in order to take advantage of that 2 QC 3.0 USB ports also with other devices that support it but without Type-C support.
So...do I recommend it? Yes, but only if you want to spend some extra money for the Type-C adapter (in case of devices without Type-C), otherwise just go for the standard version without Type-C ports.
Pros:
- Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 Support
- 2 Type-C Quick Charge USB Ports
- Well-Designed Chassis
- Power LED
Cons:
- Quick Charge available only on the Type C ports
- No Type-C adapter included

Sorry to dredge up an old review, but I just got this charger and noticed you're using an amp-meter between the charger and device. As do I (just to keep an eye on things).
I've wondered... Would a cheap meter interfere with the Quick Charge signals being exchanged been the charger and device?

It usually won't (cheap or expansive that is), unless you kill the data lines of the USB connection.
Just be sure that the tester itself supports voltages higher than 5V. (Tronsmart and Drok USB Testers are great if you want to spend some extra bucks)
I managed to fry an ultra-cheap USB tester just because the current was too high, like more than 2A on 5V, so be careful about this too.

Anyone know diff between Aukey PA-Y6 60W Type-C 6-Port Charging Station with Quick Charge 3.0 and AUKEY PA-T11 6 Port USB Charger with Dual Quick Charge 3.0 Ports (Malaysia 3Pin) PA-T11. Is it 1 with input port usb-C and another with micro usb? Thats it? As i see both price the same, im using LG G6 thus i mainly using usb-C.
Both RM169( around USD 43)
Thanks in advance.

In the PA-T11 all USB ports are standard female ports, even the QuickCharge 3.0 ones.
So if you already have USB C to USB C cables, you may go for PA-Y6 and get a USB C to microUSB adapter so you can use with other devices.
In my case, I have QuickCharge 3.0 compliant devices that uses microUSB instead of USB-C, so I've got the PA-T11 and mostly use both QC 3.0 simultaneously with microUSB cables. Eventually I use the QC 3.0 with my Nintendo Switch using USB to USB-C cables.
I guess that internally the PA-T11 and PA-Y6 uses the same or almost same circuits and pieces, changing only the connectors of QC 3.0 ports.

S8/S8+ Power Delivery compatible chargers

When I plugged the S8+ into the MacBook 12's PD brick, it shows "cable charging". I thought the S8+ doesn't support PD. Today when I tried to use it with the rMBP USB-C PD brick, it activated Fast Charge. So the S8+ supports PD after all.
My USB-C 5V/3A portable battery and the Pixel XL / 6P bricks can't activate fast charge either.
If you know any other PD chargers that works with the S8/S8+, please share.

I can confirm that this Aukey USB C Car Charger with Power Delivery works. I got this for the wife's car for her Pixel, but my S8+ also comes up as fast charging when I connect it.
This reddit post implies that in addition to the QC 2.0 fast charging (and since QC3 and 4 are backwards compatible any QC charger will work) it can also negotiate 5V at 3A over USB-PD, however (non-PD) Type-C USB charging can provide 5V @ 3A so it's more likely it's using that rather than USB-PD per se (though for all intents and purposes the end result is the same with regards S8+ fast charging) as long as the charger provides it.

Ive read that qualcomm 2.0 os basically 3 amps. So in theory any charger that provides 3amp output should work as fast charge

Nice find, thanks for the heads up (and a shame I don't seem to be able to find this one in the UK).
Do bear in mind the phone will draw a maximum 15W (either 9V @ 1.67A over QC2 or 5V @ 3A over USB Type C) even if the charger can provide more.

I assure you that the Flux Charger would be the best portable charger for your S8/S8+. One of my friends uses it for charging on the go. Also it provides fast charging.

How does this differ than Anker QC3 , other than type C;

The phone doesn't actually use USB-PD either, but can fast charge using USB Type C, but it's often USB-PD chargers that gives that. USB-PD is more future proof for other devices, but right now there's no need to change your existing QuickCharge chargers or powerbricks.

Not exactly. With QC 2.0 the power supply can output 5, 9 or 12 volts, the phone will tell it what to output based on the battery level.. so if it's about completely dead it'll ask for 12 volts and as it gets closer to full back off to 5 volts. You need a power adapter that's compliant for that to work.

I received the Trianium charger over the weekend, it does fast charge off the USB-C port. One odd thing I've notice though is if I put my phone in my car mount while the charger has power, it goes into cable charge mode. Unplug and plug the other end back into the charger and it's in quick charge mode. Now if I put the phone in the mount before the charger gets power it works fine.

I recently got myself the AUKEY 27W Dual USB-C Port Car Charger. This is a USB Type C charger (and does not support USB Power Delivery) and with the built-in/attached USB-C cable it fast-charges my S8+ with the 5V at 3A that USB Type C allows for. The other port is a (non-USB-C and non-QuickCharge) USB charging port that can provide up to 2.4A.

Will this charger fast-charge Pixel 2 XL ?

Will this charger fast-charge Pixel 2 XL if I use it with a type-c to type-c cable ?

UPDATE: What about this one? https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/

I doubt a 1A would

The amperage of the power source must equal or exceed that of the device. Our device is 9V/2A or 5V/3A. This charger is only 2A at 5V. Attempting to use it will cause the components to overheat. In quick fashion you'll burn out the charger at best, or cause a house fire at worst.

What about the one below:
https://torumart.pk/product/xiaomi-...-to-c-cable-compatible-latest-apple-macbooks/
Also are Qualcomm 3.0 chargers safe to use?

That one provides 3 amps at both 5 and 9 volts. The P2XL only requires 2A at 9V, therefore that charger will safely quick charge the P2XL.
The brand of charger is irrelevant here. The only two things that matter on a charger are the voltage and the amperage. I've already covered the requirements for amperage in post 3 above. The requirements for the voltage are that the voltage of the power source must equal the voltage of the device itself. Unlike the amperage, if the voltage does not match your device will end up permanently damaged.

Yep.
The plugintec device I wouldn't trust, though it apparently is capable of matching the voltage as well as match the amperage. The fact it has variable voltages is not something I've encountered. I would take a multimeter to the USB port on the charger and see what the voltage actually is, as it may not be correct for the P2XL.
The Huawei charger only outputs 2A at 5V, meaning you'd burn it up. The Xiaomi charger only outputs 2.5A at 5V, meaning you would burn it up, although that one would take longer to wear out. What I am not understanding here is why you do not simply get the actual charger. On Amazon they have it for about 20 USD (2,477.92 PKR) and I'm fairly certain they ship worldwide. The only thing you may need would be a plug adapter, if Pakistan doesn't use US standard blade plugs.

I would love to get an original one from amazon but the problem is the cost of shipping. If I could get it for 20 USD with free shipping I would go for it in a heartbeat.

I would find a way to do it anyway. It's the only foolproof means of ensuring nothing goes wrong with the device you spent a lot of money on.

using this now to charge my phone. no problem with fast charging.

I don't think it's only about the volts and amps. QC 3 might have some same profiles as USB PD but USB PD devices can't negotiate the profiles with QC protocol charger's. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
USB PD is only available on USB-C chargers that support the USB PD protocol.
For the pixel 2xl you need a USB-C PD charger that can do 5V/3A and 9V/2A for rapid charge.

I think you're right about that. I'm only concentrating on volts and amps for safety reasons.

Hello guys, may I know what is max wattage your pixel 2 xls are giving? I believe it's locked at 18W. But due some reason my phone charges blazing fast n shows 27W. I use custom ROM n aukey charger.

It was originally only 10.5W when the first first came out:

But I think that's changed with updates but I never read any official confirmation of it.
