Does look nice, thanks for the post.

I've been looking for another wall charger to keep at work. Does the Evo charge at 1A with this thing without having to modify the charger?

Yea, it sure does. The output rating on our HTC EVO chargers is 1000ma (1A), so it is the same. I've been using this charger for over 2 months now, love it! I keep 2 of these in our camper, and just ordered another for my wife's Seidio cradle at home ~ it charges sooo slowly it seems now, even at 700ma output.
The total output is 1A, and if only one device is connected it charges at that rate. If my Evo is turned off and charging, it's a fast charge time similar to the HTC charger.
Since I usually keep the phone on when charging at night, I really like how it seems to keep the battery "conditioned" to a full charge by the 'charge only when needed' technique it uses. When plugged in and the battery becomes fully charged, it discontinues charging until the phone draws more current. The white charging light will go off when not actively charging as well.
If a second device is plugged into the on board USB port, the total 1A output is spread between both devices.

oooooooooooooooo and its a dual too!!!!
Nice!!!

So if Im reading this write and Im hoping like hell I am , what you are saying is your phone is charged to 100% and when you take it off the charger in the morning it stays at 100% and doesnt do the insane drop to 90% ?

@SouthernEvo, well I wasn't saying that exactly, but since you brought it up. . . no, it doesn't drop to 90% right away!
I unplug to leave for work and might not use it until an hour or two later (30 min. drive) and typically be at 90-92% then. Wifi on @ work, & GPS on when I'm driving are automatically controlled with SettingProfiles. Mobile data is always on.

~update~
I checked my battery today (28 Oct) at 1-1/2 hours after unplugging and arriving at work as above - 93% status!
Another for ya . . 6-1/2 hours after unplugging ~ several texts, contact updates, couple calls & a small bit of browsing - 76%.
Hope that helps,
cheers

You didn't answer the question. Just because a charger is rated 1A does NOT mean it is putting out 1A - that's just it's rated capacity. IAAEE (I AM an electrical engineer).
What we want to know is, when the charger is hooked up to the Evo, what does the Evo say is it's battery charging status under Menu >> Settings >> About Phone >> Battery (status, I think, I don't have my phone with me right now).
It should say Charging [AC]. If it says Charging [USB] then it's not charging at 1A but at 500mA.
Look forward to your report back. Thanks!

To properly answer then . . . it DOES show Charging [AC] for 1A charging, as we would all prefer!

Just a quick review. It took me almost two weeks to get mine, which was a bit of a bummer. However, the charger works great, and seems to even charge a bit faster than the stock charger.

got mine about a week ago, it's nice, but i'm not totally impressed. from the description it sounded like the charger could be swiveled at the plug, and it can't, it just collapses. it's also hangs over plug next to it a bit meaning it might be difficult to plug in in some situations. i also wish the cord was a bit longer, it is longer than the stock charging cord though so it's not really a mark against it, besides the longer corded chargers usually supply less amperage as well.
it's definitely well made.
if you have an evo it's been suggested in another thread that the evo might have a 650ma charging limit, so any charger over that should supply more than enough juice, and won't actually charge the phone any faster.
the extra amperage would be good if you make use of the extra usb port though.

Compatibility with Nokia fast microUSB chargers

The Samsung charger adapter which comes in the box is very slow in nature. It take more than 2 hours to charge my phone. I was wondering if I can use the following Nokia brand chargers which are fast chargers?
Nokia Charger Adapter CA-146C
Nokia Fast Micro-USB Charger AC-10

It won't make any difference the phone decides what current it draws from the charger, so it'll take just as long to charge.

Are you really sure about this? Can you link me to some articles which confirm this.
Even I was thinking about purchasing AC-10 charger from Nokia.

How fast is the nokia charger?
0-10% -> 100% in an hour or less?

I'm not sure about this. I have a friend with a Blackberry Playbook and he reckons his phone charges much faster if he uses the charger from that.
The "stock" S2 charger is 700mA - it doesn't take a genius to work out that for a 1650mAh battery this will take about 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery under ideal conditions (phone off) or anything from 3-6 hours with the phone on, depending all what's running or if you're using the phone while it's charging.
Which is all pretty ridiculous - ok we're comparing apples and oranges when we compare a S2 to the likesw of a Nokia, but I do miss the days when I could charge my phone in an hour and have it last two or three days. I thought my Blackberry was bad but at least I can usually squeeze a full day out of it...
The only wall wart I had lying around that was more than 700mA was a 5V 2A supply. I've tried with that which works, but the phone chokes with a "battery overtemp" warning after about 10 minutes - which tells me I AM pumping more into the battery than it can handle. This would suggest that there IS a happy medium where we can optimize the battery charge time - I'm bust looking for a 1A supply...

I have TWO AC-10Xs, and am using it with the Ninphetamene kernel (which comes with increased charge input mods to 800ma) fine. Charges to full in about 2.5-3 hours.
I've never gotten overcharge errors either.

Hi,the usage of more powerful charger will eventually reduce lifespan of your battery. This comes from basic physics, materials and so... Higher mA means faster current, which wear the material of the capacitor - battery.

I have capdase 2 USB car charger that was used for my old iphone device.
It outputs 1A.
is it safe to use it?
I tried to charge with it for 10-15minutes or so, and didnt recognize any suspicious warmups...it reached 41~degrees while at the moment im charging and using it as a hotspot and its on 38 degrees.

The phone (specifically, the kernel) limits charge coming in, and there MUST be hardware limiters on the batteries and the phone themselves (which, in some cheapo batteries DON'T WORK and results in them frying themselves and the phone in process) and the batteries are replaceable anyway.

That's good to know that the current is regulated by the device.
Is there a software to see what is the current taken by the phone?
As long ad the temperture isn't higher than 45degrees is it ok?
By the way, Im pretty sure that usb outputs 0.5A and not 1A

battery monitor widget

It seems logical to be able to use all chargers as smartphones all have micro usb .
(I 'm not sute that's mean something in english, sorry)

Great widget! thanks.
I really like the data it gives!
Sadly, while charging with my .7A original charger & meanwhile giving a hotspot to my laptop, it shows that only 76mA comes in!
hehe, gonna take forever to charge the battery this way.

i doubt this. i'm still worried about the compatible problem~~~

After two days with the battery monitor widget Im affraid itself it drains the battery.
could it be it affects the battery?
settings are regular, it monitors changes every 60seconds

Let's see if I can help make things a bit clearer. Feel free to correct where I may be off.
The Nokia thing, it's not a charger. It's a power supply.
The "charger" is built into your phone, hardware-wise.
How can I prove it?
Take the Samsung supplied cable, plug it into your computer. You'll see that your phone is charging too. No, the cable is not a charger. Do you think your computer is a special built charger for your phone? Hardly.
The charging circuit is within the phone, and thus charging the battery when there's available power.
Ok, so we have the charger (i.e. the mobile phone), we have the battery, we need the power. Where do we get power from? The wall adapters (or computers). So what are the wall adapters? Ratings of 1000mah means that the wall adapter can provide up to 1000ma per hour.
However, your charging circuit will determine how much current to actually draw. For example, drawing 800mah for 10 min may raise the temperature to 55 degrees, so after 10 min the charging circuit drops the charging current to 500mah.
Of course, if you're using el cheapo cables, some cables may not be able to support the current draw and you may find that even with 20000000mah power supplies your phone can only draw 100mah.
The SGS2 heats up pretty easily, and it doesn't quite draw beyond 700mah. The circuit built into the phone doesn't allow it to, if i'm not wrong. If your phone is overheating while charging, you better change your case as it's going to cause your phone to overheat sooner or later.
Using a 20000000mah power supply isn't an issue, because the charging circuit within the phone will be able to draw only a certain amount.
Me, I plug my SGS2 into a 2Ah charger every night to charge, and yes it's perfectly fine. I'm only upset that after buying an expensive 2A charger, I realised that the phone is not able to draw high currents (phone even heats up to 55degree Celsius when charging).
Charging the phone on a ice pack (which lowered the phone temperature to 16 degrees while charging) didn't increase the amount of current drawn by the phone, even on a 2A power supply.
My humble advise is, stick with the stock power supply, or at most get a 1A version. No need to splash for a 2A power supply. If you really need faster charging, get a battery charging dock.

yes of course it does. It consumes a certain amount of ma per hour, doesn't it?
Personally, there's a app called watchdog, look for it, IMHO it helps to catch rouge apps better, and manage battery better.

I thought the whole idea of having a universal micro USB charging connection across most good brands was so you could use other chargers!

Z5 fast charging

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.

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?

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.

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...

Slow wireless charge on my s20 ultra

So I'm having a problem (I think). Until now, I charged my S20ultra with its very fast charger and with my wireless anker (10W model) connected on my usb pc port. While connected on USB port, I know the charge is very slow (takes like 5+ hours from 0 to 100%) since it uses only 5W but I dont mind since it's wireless.
Today I conncted my anker wirless to a normal charger (its the one coming with samsung A51, supports fast charge). I thought that would speed the wireless charge up (since my anker is 10W but on pc usb port it can only use up to 5W), instead its still slow. Using accubattery sometimes i see the actual charge rate rarely go up to 800mA but almost all the time its about 200-400mA. My phone right now is at 54% battery so its not even at the end of a charge (at the end i know it slows the charge up with all chargers), accubattery shows 13%/hour charge which is very slow. Anyone know why this is happening? Why isnt my wireless anker using its full speed?
PS Android says its using wireless rapid charge, so its not like it doesnt recognize it. I also tried removing the cover but doesnt change at all.

Not sure what output your A51 adapter does, but for full 10W output on the Anker wireless charger it must be plugged into an adapter that does 9V-2A output and QC3 compatible.
You can find the output on the wall charger by reading the very small print on it

Thank you!! Well this might actually be it, the A51 adapter is 5V-2A or 9V-1.67A. I guess this might be the reason then... since you've been so kind and you have exactly the same wireless pad I use, can you please link me your adapter? I was thinking to buy this anker one: https://d2211byn0pk9fi.cloudfront.net/spree/products/57202/product/A2010311_ND06.jpg?1505382537 Has 9V-2A and its QC3 but just to be sure i'd rather go with the one you got since its working. Thanks a lot!

I use a Motorola 27W PD adapter that I had lying around from a previous device but that Anker one you linked should work no problem.

Thank you! One last question... do you think the lack of usb-c port might be a problem? I noticed your adapter uses it but my anker pad has a microusb-usb b cable so I cant use an adapter with usb c but just the old normal usb port... was wondering if that might cause problems. I guess you use a usb c-microusb cable to connect your anker to motorola charger right? Thanks!

Not being usb C on the pad shouldn't be an issue, comes down to how much juice the wall adapter pushes out . And yes I use a USB OTG adapter (usb C male to USB A female) to work with that moto charger. I think you should be fine with that Anker charger you linked and then using the cable that came with the pad.
I only use wireless charging over night so I haven't really tested to see charge rate as I just let it go as I sleep, I'll make an effort to watch it sometime to see what actual rates I'm getting.
Hope that helps .

I only use wireless charging over night so I haven't really tested to see charge rate as I just let it go as I sleep, I'll make an effort to watch it sometime to see what actual rates I'm getting.
Hope that helps .

Thanks man! I just ordered it so tomorrow i'll check how it goes, but i'd love to hear your input as well to compare results, if everything is fine. Thanks again!

Not being usb C on the pad shouldn't be an issue, comes down to how much juice the wall adapter pushes out .

Just an update... i received the charger today, but even with this one so far it doesnt seem to change much, it charges like 12-14% per hour. If possible I'd really love to hear from you if your experience is different, I know its hard since you just leave it to charge during night, but maybe if sometimes you happen to charge it for an hour or so during day would be interesting to see if you have similiar results or a faster charge... thanks again!

This is what I'm seeing, granted I was already charged to 60% before I took this screenshot. Also I have an S20, so smaller batt than its big brothers ..
No charger (wireless or wired) will ever reach their theoretical charge rates ... I know me using an OTG adapter into my PD charger leaks power almost as much as wireless charging itself . Convenience is why I use it though..
I think for the best/fastest Qi charging, we have to get the Samsung official charging docks/pads.

Thank you man... one question, does it stay at around 1100-1200mA all the time? What I noticed is that my phone sometimes goes up to even 1400-1500mA but it stays like that for a very short time, few minutes, then rolls back to 200-400 most of the time (so very slow). If your phone is always charging at least 1000-1100mA then for sure theres something wrong with me, but i read a lot of other people seem to have problems with s20/s20+/s20ultra wireless charging, even with the samsung original 15W charger. Thanks!

i never see drop below 1000ma, is the low end... again as i charge overnight I'm not sure if it drops past that, but it sounds like you have way slower charging than me..
i still carry my anker pd charger for true fast charging
edit.. is your device snapdragon or exynos? I'm snapdragon

Mine is Exynos, and even the 20+ from this other guy having problems with samsung own 15w wireless is exynos. Would be sad if this was just another problem with exynos, not being able to charge it as fast as with SD. You've been very kind, the last thing you could do is maybe sometimes when you charge it, see if accubattery is really always at 1000mA or more, or actually drops by half if not more for you as well sometimes. I'd be happy to even have a steady 700-800mA charge, problem is that its almost always under 500, but for a very short time i DO see it going up to 1400 so it means the power provided can reach the phone, it just doesnt last, i really wonder why.
If you could check once in a while would be really appreciated. Thanks man!

It's been solid @ this rate till ~60% then drops down to 1000-1200 ... haven't seen any spikes or dips, it's pretty consistent. Don't know what to say, it's a bummer that your device seems to have issues with Qi charging. And doubly sucks if it's an issue w/ Exynos devices. Wish there was another person here who could chime in

Seems everything is in order with you. I also wish more people would jump in sharing experiences, sadly it seems not many of us charge it with wireless. Other day I was searching online and on Reddit I found some s20+ exynos user with the samsung 15w wireless original charger with the same problem, there would be almost no difference between that charger and a 5w one. The chances that its both his charger faulty and my s20 ultra as well are very low (beside my s20 with cable and 25w samsung charger goes to full in about an hour, and if it was a problem with wireless it wouldnt charge at all all the time ), so maybe the problem could actually be exynos but who knows... anyway thanks a lot for your help, lets hope someone else jumps in this thread. I was almost rdy to buy the (very expensive) 15w samsung charger but at this point im not even sure its really faster.

Update: just put on the pad to charge, was at 26%, went to 32% and accubattery showed always 1400-1500mA. Now its stuck below 500 again, temperature 36.4C so not even hot to drop. I really am gettin pissed off at this, how is it possible it charges full power for a short time and then drops.

Another update... Anker just replied to my email sent days ago about my problems with the charger, here it is:
"Recently, our various markets have feedback that this S20 cannot achieve fast charging. The specific reason is that our engineers are still testing. Because we did related tests before it was put on the shelves, there was no problem. But now it is confirmed that there is a problem, so we recommend that you do not buy new products for now."
So apparently there is a known problem, altho im not sure hes talking about s20 in general or about s20 ultra since i wrote i had an s20 ultra in my original email. Also its not clear if its just markets with exynos or those with SD as well. But it does seem that there is a problem that they know about...
